I want to sort a stored procedure based on a variable passed to it... what is the easiest way to do this? Here's an example of what I want to do:
sp_select_thing 10, 'thing_name', 'asc'
It would run the query then somehow evaluate parameters 2 and 3 to be placed in the ORDER BY clause. I'm not sure if they should be quoted as strings or not, I don't have an idea how to pass a "reference to a variable" as a parameter to a stored procedure... or even if such a thing is possible
I have a report where I am giving the users a parameter so that they can select which field they would like to sort on.The report is also grouping by that field. I have a gruping section, where i have added code to group on the field I want based on this parameter, however I also would like to changing the sorting order but I checked around and I did not find any info.
So here is my example. I am showing sales order info.The user can sort and group by SalesPerson or Customer. Right now, I have code on my dataset to sort by SalesPerson Code and Order No.So far the grouping workds, however the sorting does not.
I have the following, which loads up a product search i now want to be able to sort it based on criteria such as price. This is what i have so far; String str = Session["subCategoryID"].ToString(); SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["streamConnectionString"].ConnectionString);SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("stream_CategoryResults", conn); command.Parameters.Add("@subCategoryID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = str;command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; conn.Open();SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection); dgProducts.DataSource = reader; dgProducts.DataBind(); conn.Close(); My question is would i need to have different stored procedures, for when loading it up, and when sorting it by price. This is what my stored procedure looks like;CREATE PROCEDURE stream_CategoryResultsByPrice @subCategoryID INT AS SELECT DISTINCT Companies.companyName, Companies.companyLogo,SubCategories.subCategoryName, Products.productPrice, Products.productInfoURL FROM Companies INNER JOIN Products ON Companies.companyID = Products.companyID INNER JOIN SubCategories ON Products.subcategoryID = SubCategories.subCategoryID WHERE SubCategories.subCategoryID=@subCategoryID
Normally when I do a sort for a stored procedure I use something like this:
ORDER BY CASE WHEN @SortOrder = 'FirstName' THEN FirstName WHEN @SortOrder = 'LastName' THEN LastName WHEN @SortOrder = 'Extension' THEN Extension ELSE LastName
How do I get that into a dynamic SQL statement with proper quotes? Most of the SQL left out for cleanliness. The order by below would be the ELSE condition.
@SortValue varChar(30)= SHARE_DESCRIPTION as SELECT SHARES.SHARE_DESCRIPTION, SHARES.SHARE_SYMBOL, SECTORS.SECTOR_NAME FROM SHARES INNER JOIN SECTORS ON SHARES.SECTOR_ID = SECTORS.SECTOR_ID ORDER BY @SortValue but it does not seem to be possible to use variable after order by is there any way to achieve something with sorting by variable?
I have a stored procedure in my SQL 2005 Server database named Foo that accepts two parameters, @paramA and @paramB.In my ASP.NET page, I have these:<asp:GridView id="gv" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="true" DataSourceID="DS" AllowSorting="true" DataKeyNames="ID"/><asp:SqlDataSource ID="DS" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CS1 %>" SelectCommand="Foo" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" OnSelecting="DS_Selecting"> <asp:Parameter Name="paramA" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter Name="paramB" Type="String" /></asp:SqlDataSource>In my setup, paramA and paramB are set in DS_Selecting(), where I can access the Command.Parameters[] of DS.Now, here's the problem. As you can see, the GridView allows for sorting. When you click on a header title to sort, however, the GridView becomes empty. My question is, how can I get the GV sorted and in the correct direction (i.e. asc/desc)? My first step in my attempt was to add another parameter to the SqlDataSource and sotred procedure Foo (e.g. @SortByColumn), then changed Foo appropriately: ALTER PROCEDURE Foo @paramA nvarchar(64), @paramB nvarchar(64), @SortColumn nvarchar(16) = 'SearchCount' AS SELECT * FROM Searches ORDER BY CASE WHEN @SortColumn='SearchCount' THEN SearchCount WHEN @SortColumn='PartnerName' THEN PartnerName ELSE ID ENDThat works find and dandy. But wait--I want to get the correct ORDER BY direction too! So I add another parameter to the SqlDataSource and Foo (@SortDirection), then alter Foo: ... SELECT * From Searchces ORDER BY CASE /* Keep in mind that CASE short-circuits */ WHEN @SortColumn='SearchCount' AND @SortDirection='desc' SearchCount DESC WHEN @SortColumn='SearchCount' SearchCount WHEN @SortColumn='PartnerName' AND @SortDirection='desc' PartnerName DESC WHEN @SortColumn='PartnerName' PartnerName WHEN @SortColumn='ID' AND @SortDirection='desc' ID DESC ELSE ID END ...But including DESC or ASC after the column name to sort by causes SQL to error. What the heck can I do, besides convert all my stored procedures into in-line statements inside the ASP page, where I could then dynamically construct the appropriate SQL statement? I'm really at a loss on this one! Any help would be much appreciated!Am I missing a much simpler solution? I am making this too complicated?
As I said above, how do I put sorting + paging in a stored procedure.My database has approximately 50000 records, and obviously I can't SELECT all of them and let GridView / DataView do the work, right? Or else it would use to much resources per one request.So I intend to use sorting + paging at the database level. It's going to be either hardcode SQL or stored procedures.If it's hardcode SQL, I can just change SQL statement each time the parameters (startRecord, maxRecords, sortColumns) change.But I don't know what to do in stored procedure to get the same result. I know how to implement paging in stored procedure (ROW_NUMBER) but I don't know how to change ORDER BY clause at runtime in the stored procedure.Thanks in advance.PS. In case "ask_Scotty", who replied in my previous post, http://forums.asp.net/thread/1696818.aspx, is reading this, please look at my reply on your answer in the last post. Thank you.
This is for SQL Server 2000. The purpose of the procedure is to return a subset of a filtered and sorted result set. The subset, filter criteria, and sort column and sort direction can be set dynamically. It uses the rowcount technique for paging.
This would be used to drive an ASP.NET gridview which supports filtering of the data, paging, and sorting. Please let me know what improvements I can make or if you have an idea for a better solution. (I didn't put this in a vBulletin code block because personally I find two sets of scroll bars annoying, but I can if people think it's better).

I need to dynamically construct sql script for procedure/trigger of the SQL Server 6.5 database. Because of length, I need to store it in a text field of the temporary table. Now I need to execute it. I see only two choices: 1. Use bcp utility to pass text of procedure/trigger to the text file on hard drive and the use isql utility to execute that text. Drawbacks of this way: bcp and isql must be in place, need to write to the use's hard drive, overhead for large number of modifying objects
2. Declare up to 255 (this is the max number of colid column in the syscomments table) local variables of varchar(255) type, get sequential chunks from that text field and build final statement like this: exec(@var1 + @var2 + ... + @var255) Drawbacks: need to keep truck of length of the text field to calculate right number of local variables, and it looks a little bit ugly
While both ways work, I am looking for more nicer way to do this job.
I am trying to use several tables that have one 10-character text field in common. Most of the records have a numeric expression, but some tables have leading 0's, and some don't. I can't cast the field to numbers because there are some records that have letters also. What function can I use to get rid of all the 0s at the left of each record? (Sort of a LTRIM function that gets rid of 0s instead of spaces).

Hello,I have a stored procedure: -- Get an individual league match by IDALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[mb_League_GetLeagueMatchByID]( @LeagueMatchID int)ASSET NOCOUNT ONSELECT * FROM mb_LeagueMatch WHERE mb_LeagueMatch.LeagueMatchID = @LeagueMatchIDThe mb_LeagueMatch table has a column named IsActive that is a bit datatype.The value for all rows is set to true (in database explorer in visual studio 2005).When I execute the above stored procedure I always get -1 (I'm guessing that means null) as a result for IsActive if it was true and 0 when false (as expected).However, when I run a query on the database for the same parameter, I get the expected 1 as the value for IsActive.Has anyone seen this before?Thanks,Howard

I am writing a utility that creates Java code to access a database. I am looking for a way to get a list of fields and types that are returned by an sproc.

I have recently added two new fields to the database that I need the stored procedure to act upon, but adding them into the above code does not work. I read somewhere that this would happen with new fields, but I do not know how to fix this issue. Could someone point me in the right direction and help me out? I also have some other tables and SP's that I need to update, but its the same issue, I think so fixing this one should help me out across the board.

Hi,I've got some XML which exists as a text variable in a temp table in SQL Server 2000.I need to pass this XML into sp_xml_preparedocument so I can rebuild a table out of it. But I can't figure out the syntax.If I try doing this:declare @idoc intexec sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc output, (select XmlResult from #cache)I get an error, with or without the brackets round the select statement.The temp table is created using an SP, but I can't call that directly either. This:declare @idoc intexec sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc output, exec Search$GetCache @searchIDAlso throws an error.I can't put it into a local variable because they can't be of type text. I can't pass it into the SP somewhere as it's being generated on the fly.How can I get my xml into sp_xml_preparedocument?Cheers,Matt
I have a problem with importing text into a database. I have an application in .net where I fill a textbox with a certain text. When I press a button the text shall be separated and inserted into a database. The big question here is: how do I seperate the text so I get it into different colums in the database?
I know there is someting called InString, should I use this or is there an other way? I was thinking I could use a stored procedure.
I got one prob and i need help to solve it. I got this one field in a table which contain a lot of datas and i need to sort it out into as many different data as a field for each. Example:
Hello, I am looking at writing a SP without much success which enables multiple filtering on one field. Something like below: Input field: Product Description So if the user enters: "Large Drill" OR "Drill Large" the same resultset will be returned. SELECT * FROM products WHERE products.prod_desc contains both "Large" AND "Drill" I guess there'll need to be a nested Select and loop to parse the space separated input field. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you Lee
I import a flat file from a legacy system, and then convert it into a single table. That works simply enough.
Then I have a SP that querys that table using a parameter for an accountID. My business tier calls that SP and returns the results to the calling tier (my web application). Easy enough...
Now for the question. The people who created the flat file (written in COBOL) decided to use "codes" to represent data. So, for instance, if I'm looking for the account plan, I can expect to see characters like ], or [, or +, etc... These characters have a special meaning, like:
] = Plan A [ = Plan B + = Plan C, and so on.
Currently, the web application displays those characters, but I want it to display the actual plan name. Is there a way that when I execute the SP, the SP could pull the necessary records, and whenever it encounters a certain "plan" character, it could convert it into a "readable" name? Say that it sees that the plan_type field has a value of "]" for twenty records, so it converts those twenty records' plan_type value from "]" into "Plan A"? I'm not sure if I can do that, but I want to at least evaluate the option if I can.
I've evaluated other options, like using a CASE statement in my code, but I shot that down quickly...for obvious reasons. I don't wanna be changing my web application or business tier each time these guys update a plan name, or add a new one, delete an existing one, etc...
I've also thought about creating a dictionary table than contains the plan's code and its name, and then just INNER JOIN the first table with the dict table. This would keep my SP very simple (it's very straight-forward right now, and I like that). That way, if a plan name is ever changed, or a new one is added, I simply update the dict table using a simple query. However, if my SP is doing the conversion, I could just as easily update the SP.
Either of these methods would work for me, and I *do* know how to do the latter (dict table). However, there are quite a few other fields that I may have to do this for. I believe when I left for the day on Friday, my last count was 14 fields total that needed translation. That would mean 14 different dict tables! That could certainly affect my SP performance with all those INNER JOINS!
Therefore, I'm certainly interested in figuring out if it's possible to do the former method (SP), and then I shall decide which method is best for my situation.
Feel free to include your thoughts on which process you think is better as well. I'm really riding the fence with this one. However, if I can't find out how to change field values in my SP, then obviously I'll make a decision very quickly...
I need to write a sp to fill a date field, if another field in another table is true. need the date to reflect todays date(the date the field was marked true). I know this is an easy one but I am over thinking it. please help.
i have a problem with copying (read it from one row and set it to another) a ntext field in a stored procedure. I know how to get a pointer to the data and how to read from it.
But i want to copy the whole data.
Does anybody know how to do that?
Thanks in advance

I need to be able to send a text file with data seperated by tabs to a stored procedure that populates my table.
I am new to SQL and SPROCs that I am not sure how to even start. If you guys have any ideas I would really like to hear them or maybe any on-line docs and examples.
I have stored procedure which need 4 input variables. I want to send the stored procedure output to Table or text file. Is there any way I can do it let me know. Here is the stored procedure.
