Significance In &"N&" For String Parameters

Feb 16, 2007

Hello,
I have noticed in many examples of TSQL code, that the developer is putting a "N" in before the single quotes to assign a string value to parameter. Could someone tell me what the significance of "N" is?

Example:
@step_name = N'Step 1 Email Report'

instead of
@step_name = 'Step 1 Email Report'

Does it do some kind of formatting / error checking? I haven't noticed any differences, but would like to write the best code that I can.

Thanks,
JJ

Dumb Question - Significance Of N

Oct 12, 2004

I know this is a stupid question, but I just can't find the proper explanation. I often see the letter N preceding a parameter when executing a stored procedure (ie. exec sp_xxx @parm = N'test'). What is the significance of the N and when should it be used?

Thanks,

The Significance Of 1024 In SQL Server?

Jan 30, 2007

Sorry for the basic question but what is the significance of 1024? Is this true in Oracle as well? Is it a Fibonacci number?(just kidding). But why is the limit 1024 as far as fields in a table or 1024 arguements in a stored procedure, etc? Thanks in advance for adding to the "nuts and bolts" of my knowledge.

String Output Parameters

Feb 23, 2008

Hi can any one explain why when I specify an outparameter as a string I only get back the first letter of the string when I call the procedure from .net?

my procedure is...

ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.UpdateUserPACSPASDetails
@UserGUID uniqueidentifier,
@UserPACSName varchar(32),
@PASName varchar(32),
@UserPACSPassword varchar(95),
@UserPACSPasswordIV varchar(95),
@UserFriendlyName varchar(32),
@Message varchar(32) OUTPUT,
@MessageNumber int OUTPUT

AS

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @tmpGUID as uniqueidentifier /*stores the temp guid from the function */
DECLARE @ReturnDomainName as varchar(32) /*stores the tmp domainname of the user who has the PACS name */

SET @Message=CAST('' as varchar(32))
SET @MessageNumber= 0

/* first check if PACS user name already exists or not */
SET @tmpGUID = dbo.fncFindPACSName(@UserPACSName)

IF @tmpGUID IS NOT NULL /* if the value is null the the PACSusername doesn't exist
if its not null then does the current user already own that PACSUserName? */
BEGIN

/*if the users ids are different then another user already has the PACS name */
IF @tmpGUID<>@UserGUID
BEGIN
SELECT @ReturnDomainName = UserDomainName FROM tblUsers WHERE UserGUID=@tmpGUID
SET @Message=@ReturnDomainName
SET @MessageNumber = 1
RETURN

END
END

/*now check the PAS name to see if it exists or is already in use by someone else
first check if PACS user name already exists or not */
SET @tmpGUID = dbo.fncFindPASName(@PASName)

IF @tmpGUID IS NOT NULL /* if the value is null the the PACSusername doesn't exist
if its not null then does the current user already own that PACSUserName? */
BEGIN

/*if the users ids are different then another user already has the PACS name */
IF @tmpGUID<>@UserGUID
BEGIN
SELECT @ReturnDomainName = UserDomainName FROM tblUsers WHERE UserGUID=@tmpGUID
SET @Message=@ReturnDomainName
SET @MessageNumber = 2
RETURN

END
END




UPDATE tblUsers
SET UserPACSName=@UserPACSName,UserPACSPassword=@UserPACSPassword,
UserPACSPasswordIV=@UserPACSPasswordIV, PASName=@PASName, UserFriendlyName=@UserFriendlyName

WHERE UserGUID=@UserGUID

SET @Message=CAST('' as varchar(32))
SET @MessageNumber=3

RETURN

I call this proc via a vb.net program using a command.executenonquery and then look at the parameter.

For some reason I only get the first letter of the string back! i.e. if the string is LSDNET/nik I get 'L'.

If I run the proc from visual studio step in to procecure it works fine!

the vb I'm using is... (the createaddparameter simply creates a bunch of parameters to add to a command -with the specified names and dbtypes).

I'm obviously missing a trick but what it is I can't see.
I seem to be able to pass all other data types back easily!

Dim LoadUserCommand As New SqlCommand

'create add command
Dim CreateAddParameter() As String = {"@UserGUID", _
"@UserPACSName", "@PASName", "@UserPACSPassword", _
"@UserPACSPasswordIV", "@UserFriendlyName", "@Message", "@MessageNumber"}
Dim UpdateDBTypes() As DbType = {DbType.Guid, DbType.StringFixedLength, DbType.StringFixedLength, DbType.StringFixedLength, _
DbType.StringFixedLength, DbType.StringFixedLength, DbType.StringFixedLength, DbType.Int32}


LoadUserCommand = lclSQLHelper.CreateOLEDBCommand("UpdateUserPACSPASDetails", CreateAddParameter, UpdateDBTypes, lclDBConn.DBConnection)

LoadUserCommand.Parameters(6).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
LoadUserCommand.Parameters(7).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output

'update the data in the data table in the database

LoadUserCommand.Parameters(0).Value = lclUser.UserGUID
LoadUserCommand.Parameters(1).Value = lclUser.UserPACSName
LoadUserCommand.Parameters(2).Value = lclUser.UserPASName
LoadUserCommand.Parameters(3).Value = lclUser.UserPACSPassword
LoadUserCommand.Parameters(4).Value = lclUser.PACSPasswordIV
LoadUserCommand.Parameters(5).Value = lclUser.UserFriendlyName
LoadUserCommand.Parameters(6).Value = ""
LoadUserCommand.Parameters(7).Value = 0

Try

Dim lclRet As Integer = LoadUserCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

Dim tmpDomainName As String
tmpDomainName = LoadUserCommand.Parameters(6).Value.ToString 'read the name back

Dim tmpMsgNumber = LoadUserCommand.Parameters(7).Value 'read the message number back

Select Case tmpMsgNumber 'not written yet as I haven't got this far!!!
Case 1 'pacs username already exists
Case 2 'pas username already exists
Case 3 'execute fine and all names updated



End Select

Datetime Parameters Reset To String

Mar 5, 2007

When I go to Report > Report Parameters... in VS, I create date parameters and specify the type as datetime. I then add the parameters to my SQL statement. I then go back to look at the parameters and they have changed to string. This happens every time I make a modification to the SQL statement. Is this a bug, or am I missing a step? I thought someone would have asked this before, but I can't find a post for it in this forum.

Thanks in advance,

Solution To Passing Parameters With Sql Text String.

Dec 26, 2003

I thought I would post this solution. I searched a long time and didnt see anything about how to solve my problem. After avoiding this and simply building strings I decided to dig in my heels and try and figure this out. Well, maybe I am just slow. :) Anyhow, here is some code that should help a lot of folks with this question...


Function GetProductCategories(ByVal departmentID) As DataSet

'set the connection string (comes from a property in this case)
Dim connection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionStringWeb"))

'set the sql text string notice the @DepartmentID is my parameter. protected from sql injections
Dim strSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM ProductCategory WHERE DepartmentID = @DepartmentID"

'set new command object to strsql and the connection. required
Dim command As New SqlCommand(strSQL, connection)

'set parameters to pass to through with the strsql. required for parameters. you can take this a set further. See commented fields below.
command.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@DepartmentID", departmentID))

'additional set up for parameters if you like...
'command.Parameters.Add("@departmentID", SqlDbType.Int, 4)
'command.Parameters("@departmentID").Value = departmentID



'set SQLDataAdapter to your previously created command object
'this enables your adapter access to your strSQL, connection and parameters
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(command)

'set proper name of table for data set based upon departmentID
If departmentID = 1 Then
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds, "dtCarriers")
Return ds
End If


'set proper name of table for data set based upon departmentID
If departmentID = 2 Then
Dim ds As New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds, "dtProducts")
Return ds
End If

End Function

Stored Procedures, String Concatenation In Parameters

Jun 12, 2000

I guess I'm the only one with this problem -- couldn't find anything on it in the back questions. Maybe it's a weird problem. :)

Anyway, although I'm not new to SQL, I am a bit new to stored procedures, and MS SQL Server 7. (I've been using mySQL, decent, but doesn't have many features ... )

I used some ASP and stored procedure code from 4guysfromrolla.com for session tracking through SQL Server.

I've modified most of the stored procedures so that they actually work. :)

The tables it uses are simple:

sessions: sessionid (uniqueidentifier), date_stamp (datetime), sessionipaddr(varchar(50))

sessionvalues: sessionid (uniqueidentifier), sessionvalname (varchar(100)), sessionvaldata (varchar(8000))

To answer some questions before they're asked: It's a resume database, and does need to be able to store 8000 characters at a shot. (I'm hoping 8000 is as large as it gets for this particular field.)

There's only one problem now: One of the stored procedures enters information into the sessionvalue field of the table. However, much of our data contains apostrophes ('), and we need to be able to store them. I thought that modifying the execute statement would do it, something like:

EXECUTE sessiondata '{EC8131F6-409A-11D4-8E88-00A0C9E4F36E}', 'ExpWorkDescs', 'Here' + CHAR(39) + "s some data"

This doesn't work. Indeed, even if the concatenation worked, CHAR(39) doesn't in this context.

Then I thought I'd be really clever, and try a trick from mySQL:

EXECUTE sessiondata '{EC8131F6-409A-11D4-8E88-00A0C9E4F36E}', 'ExpWorkDescs', 'Here's some data'

Naturally, that one didn't work, either. (That was a long shot, admittedly!)

This is mission-critical. Not only apostrophes, but quotes and other punctuation marks must be able to be transferred. Anyone know a way to do it?

Using Stored Procedures/parameters When WHERE String Has Optional Conditions

Sep 15, 2005

I've created a search page in my asp.net app that allows the user to enter optional parameters to narrow down the result set. It looks something like:Find all parts where:   manuafacturer:    <dropdownlist>ANY | manufacturer 1 |... </dropdownlist>   model:               <dropdownlist>ANY | model 1 |... </dropdownlist>   cost:                  between <textbox> and <textbox> dollarsCurrently I create the SQL command on the fly building the WHERE based on what the user selects. For example if in the form above they select    manufacturer = manufacturer1   model = ANY   cost = between 10 and 15the WHERE string is    ... WHERE manufacturer='manufacturer1' AND cost BETWEEN 10 AND 15Since the user doesn't care about model I leave it out of the WHERE. OK so here is my question. I want to move my queries to strored procedures however I'm not sure how to create the query since it changes based on what the user enters. Using the example above I'm assuming I can create one query with 4 parameters however what value would I use for ANY?    parameter1 (manufacturer) = "manufacturer1"   parameter2 (model)  = ???   parameter3 (price low) = 10   parameter4 (proce high) = 15I see there is an ANY operator in T-SQL but it doesn't look like the right thing to use. Should I use LIKE '%'? Seems that using LIKE would result in addition overhead.ThanksSimon

Populate Dates For Parameters Based On A String Parameter

Jul 2, 2007

Hello,



My basic goal is to try to simplify inputs for the user. I have 3 parameters: Begin Date, End DAte and Duration. Duration will contain 3 choices: All, 2 Years and Range and is meant to give them a shortcut to dates as described below:

All - Would automatically populate the start date to 10/01/2005 and an end date to current date

2 Years - Would automatically populate the start date to current date minus 2 years, and the end date to current date.

Range - Would allow the user to select any dates as desired.



I'm able to get the dates to populate based on the duration field using non-queried values based on the Duration value, but the problem is that if I want to allow them to select Range the calendar control is not available and a text box is displayed.



I've tried to create some code in the properties that would populate, but I keep getting that this item is Read Only. The code I've created is as follows:

public function populateDates(Duration) as String

Select Case Duration
Case = "Range"
Report.Parameters!pBeginDate = Report.Parameters!pBeginDate
Report.Parameters!pEndDAte = Report.Parameters!pEndDAte
Case = "All"
Report.Parameters!pBeginDate = #10/01/2005#
Report.Parameters!pEndDAte = Now().Today
case = "Two"
Report.Parameters!pBeginDate = DateAdd("yyyy", -2, Now().Today)
Report.Parameters!pEndDAte = Now().Today
end select
end sub


My only goal is to give the User the 3 choices, but still keep the calendar control available, and I can't seem to do this?



suggestion please!

Thanks!

Maureen

Passing A Comma Delimited String Of Parameters To A Stored Proc

Jul 30, 2007

Hello,
I have a number of multi-select parameters which I would like to send to a stored procedure within the dataset for use in the stored procedure's IN() statement which in turn is used to filter on or out particular rowsets.

I considered using a hidden string parameter set = " ' " + join(parameter.value, ',') + " ' " so that the hidden parameter would then contain a comma delimiated string of the values selected, which would then be sent on to the stored proc and used in the WHERE clause of one of the queries internal to the stored proc.
But before I start dedicating time to do this I wanted to inquire if anyone here with far more expertise could think of a faster or less system heavy method of creating a single string of comma delimited parameter selections?

Thanks.

The Command Line Parameters Are Invalid For Source Connection String When Running As A SQL Job

Jan 30, 2008



Hi All,

I created a SSIS package to import an excel spreadsheet into my data warehouse.
When I run the package it runs fine. When I created a SQL Job to run the package I get the following error:

Option "Source=D:HelpDeskImportBook2.xls;Extended" is not valid. The command line parameters are invalid.


Now if I look at my source connection string in the job it looks like the following:

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:HelpDeskImportBook2.xls;Extended Properties=HDR=YES;EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";


Does anyone know why it appears that my connection string looks like it is being cut off and does anyone know how I can correct the problem?


Thanks,

Scott

Sql Insert Conversion Failed When Converting From A Character String To Uniqueidentifier. Error With Parameters

Dec 28, 2007

Hi,I'm new at asp .net and am having a problem. On a linkbutton click event, I want to insert into my db a row of data which includes two parameters. Param1 is the id of the logged in user, and Param2 is  <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> which is the username of a user given through a datalist.When I execute the query:   "insert into aspnet_friendship (userId, buddyId) values (@Param1, @Param2)"I get the error: Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.I am trying to insert these into my table aspnet_friendship into the columns userId and buddyId which are both uniqueidentifier fields. I tested the query using the same values  (@Param1, @Param1) and (@Param2, @Param2) and found out that the problem is with Param2 because when I use Param1 the insert works perfectly. The value passed by Param2 is supposed to be the id of a user which I get from the datalist which selects * from aspnet_Users, so that <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%> should also be an Id like Param1 is. Since both params are in the form of .toString(), I don't understand why one works but the other doesn't.As you can see in the code below, both of these parameters are dimmed as strings, so I don't understand why Param2 doesn't work. Can anyone please help?  Protected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)                Dim MyConnection As SqlConnection        MyConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.MDF;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True")        Dim MyCommand2 As SqlCommand                Dim CurrentUser As String        CurrentUser = Membership.GetUser.ProviderUserKey.ToString()        Dim add As String        add = "<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'UserId')%>".ToString()        Session("username") = User.Identity.Name                Dim InsertCmd As String = "insert into aspnet_friendship (userId, buddyId) values (@Param1, @Param2)"                MyCommand2 = New SqlCommand(InsertCmd, MyConnection)                MyCommand2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Param1", CurrentUser)        MyCommand2.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Param2", add)               MyCommand2.Connection.Open()        MyCommand2.ExecuteNonQuery()        MyCommand2.Connection.Close()    End Sub Thank you.

Are there other possible parameters? Can a pass a member ID or code?

Query Duration Using Parameters Vrs No Parameters

Apr 27, 2006

Hi,
I have an app in C# that executes a query using SQLCommand and parameters and is taking too much time to execute.

I open a SQLProfiler and this is what I have :

exec sp_executesql N' SELECT TranDateTime ... WHERE CustomerId = @CustomerId',
N'@CustomerId nvarchar(4000)', @CustomerId = N'11111

I ran the same query directly from Query Analyzer and take the same amount of time to execute (about 8 seconds)

I decided to take the parameters out and concatenate the value and it takes less than 2 second to execute.

Here it comes the first question...
Why does using parameters takes way too much time more than not using parameters?

Then, I decided to move the query to a Stored Procedure and it executes in a snap too.
The only problem I have using a SP is that the query can receive more than 1 parameter and up to 5 parameters, which is easy to build in the application but not in the SP

I usually do it something like
(@CustomerId is null or CustomerId = @CustomerId) but it generate a table scan and with a table with a few mills of records is not a good idea to have such scan.

Is there a way to handle "dynamic parameters" in a efficient way???

Parameters Dependencies When Using Parameters!Name.Label

Mar 7, 2007

Hello:

I just recently bumped into this problem and I think I know what's causing it. This is the setup:

Report Parameters: FromDate, ToDate, DivisionalOffice, Manager, SalesRep

dsCalendarEvents Parameters: FromDate.Value, ToDate.Value, DivisionalOffice.Value,

dsDivisions Parameters: N/A

dsManager Parameters: DivisionalOffice.Value

dsSalesRep: DivisionalOffice.Label

When I query the ReportServices WS and scan the parameter dependencies for SalesRep it says there are four dependencies: FromDate, ToDate, DivisionalOffice and Manager!!!

If I change "dsSalesRep" to use "DivisionalOffice.Value" the ReportingServices WS parameter dependency scan returns only one dependency for "SalesRep" parameter!!!( This is the correct behavior )

Has anybody seen this behavior and more importantly, is there a work around?

Regards,

String Or Binary Data Would Be Truncated. (only For 1700 Character String?)

Nov 2, 2006

I am trying to insert a row into a table of Microsoft SQL Server 2000.

There are various columns.

,
[CODECS] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL
,

The [DATTA] column is causing a problem. Even if I am trying to put only 1700 character string into [DATTA], the java code throws the following exception:-

Why is it throwing an exception even though the sum-total of this row doesn't exceed 8000 characters?

Can anyone please tell me what's wrong?

SQL 2012 :: Eliminate Characters From A String Based On Another String?

Dec 17, 2014

I have a string 'ACDIPFJZ'

In my table one of the column has data like

PFAG
ABCDEFHJMPUYZ
KML
JC
RPF

My requirement is that if the string in the column has any of the characters from 'ACDIPFJZ' , those characters have to be retained and the rest of the characters have to be removed.

My output should be:

PFAG -- PFA (G Eliminated)
ABCDEFHJMPUYZ -- ACDPFJZ (B,E,H,M,U,Y Eliminated)
KML -- No data
JC -- JC
RPF -- PF (R Eliminated)

SQL 2012 :: Picking Number String Out Of Text String

Jul 14, 2015

I have a text field which has entries of variable length of the form:

"house:app.apx&resultid=1234,clientip"
or
"tost:app.apx&resultid=123,clientip"
or
"airplane:app.apx&resultid=123489,clientip"

I'm trying to pick out the numbers between resultid='...',clientip no matter what the rest of the string looks like. So in this example it would be the numbers:

1234
123
12389

the part of the string of the form resultid='...',clientip always stays the same except the length of the number can vary.

Need Help With String Manipulation - Splitting 1 String Into Multiple Columns

Sep 11, 2006

Hello All,

I'm a non-programmer and an SQL newbie. I'm trying to create a printer usage report using LogParser and SQL database. I managed to export data from the print server's event log into a table in an SQL2005 database.

There are 3 main columns in the table (PrintJob) - Server (the print server name), TimeWritten (timestamp of each print job), String (eventlog message containing all the info I need). My problem is I need to split the String column which is a varchar(255) delimited by | (pipe). Example:

2|Microsoft Word - ราย�ารรับ.doc|Sukanlaya|HMb1_SD_LJ2420|IP_192.10.1.53|82720|1

The first value is the job number, which I don't need. The second value is the printed document name. The third value is the owner of the printed document. The fourth value is the printer name. The fifth value is the printer port, which I don't need. The sixth value is the size in bytes of the printed document, which I don't need. The seventh value is the number of page(s) printed.

How I can copy data in this table (PrintJob) into another table (PrinterUsage) and split the String column into 4 columns (Document, Owner, Printer, Pages) along with the Server and TimeWritten columns in the destination table?

In Excel, I would use combination of FIND(text_to_be_found, within_text, start_num) and MID(text, start_num, num_char). But CHARINDEX() in T-SQL only starts from the beginning of the string, right? I've been looking at some of the user-defind-function's and I can't find anything like Excel's FIND().

Or if anyone can think of a better "native" way to do this in T-SQL, I've be very grateful for the help or suggestion.

Thanks a bunch in advance,

Chutikorn

Input String -&> Table -&> Output String?

Jul 13, 2006

I have a nasty situation in SQL Server 7.0. I have a table, in whichone column contains a string-delimited list of IDs pointing to anothertable, called "Ratings" (Ratings is small, containing less than tenvalues, but is subject to change.) For example:[ratingID/descr]1/Bronze2/Silver3/Gold4/PlatinumWhen I record rows in my table, they look something like this:[uniqueid/ratingIDs/etc...]1/2, 4/...2/null/...3/1, 2, 3/...My dilemma is that I can't efficiently read rows in my table, match thestring of ratingIDs with the values in the Ratings table, and returnthat in a reasonable fashion to my jsp. My current stored proceduredoes the following:1) Query my table with the specified criteria, returning ratingIDs as acolumn2) Split the tokens in ratingIDs into a table3) Join this small table with the Ratings table4) Use a CURSOR to iterate through the rows and append it to a string5) Return the string.My query then returns...1/"Silver, Platinum"2/""3/"Bronze, Silver, Gold"And is easy to output.This is super SLOW! Queries on ~100 rows that took <1 sec now take 12secs. Should I:a) Create a junction table to store the IDs initially (I didn't thinkthis would be necessary because the Ratings table has so few values)b) Create a stored procedure that does a "SELECT * FROM Ratings," putthe ratings in a hashtable/map, and match the values up in Java, sinceJava is better for string manipulation?c) Search for alternate SQL syntax, although I don't believe there isanything useful for this problem pre-SQL Server 2005.Thanks!Adam

Parameters.AddWithValue Vs. Parameters.Add

Jan 2, 2008

Hello all,
Given: 
string commandText = "Categories_Delete";SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(commandText, connection);myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
   Is there a reason NOT to use myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CategoryID",CategoryID); I'd prefer to use that over  myCommand.Parameters.Add("@CategoryID", SqlDbType.Int, 4).Value = CategoryID; as I have these functions being created dynamically and hope to get away from a big lookup to try to convert System.Types into SqlDbTypes. [shudder]  
It seems that ADO.NET makes an implicit conversion to the valid type.  If this is correct then I can move on fat dumb and happy.  Anyone have any good insight?
Thanks,

Procedure Or Query To Make A Comma-separated String From One Table And Update Another Table's Field With This String.

Feb 13, 2006

We have the following two tables :

Link  ( GroupID int , MemberID int )
Member ( MemberID int , MemberName varchar(50), GroupID varchar(255) )

The Link table contains the records showing which Member is in which Group. One particular Member can be in
multiple Groups and also a particular Group may have multiple Members.

The Member table contains the Member's ID, Member's Name, and a Group ID field (that will contains comma-separated
Groups ID, showing in which Groups the particular Member is in).

We have the Link table ready, and the Member table' with first two fields is also ready. What we have to do now is to
fill the GroupID field of the Member table, from the Link Table.

For instance,

Read all the GroupID field from the Link table against a MemberID, make a comma-separated string of the GroupID,
then update the GroupID field of the corresponding Member in the Member table.

Please help me with a sql query or procedures that will do this job. I am using SQL SERVER 2000.
