Stored Proc Parameters Slowing Down Execution Majorly!

Jan 15, 2008

Hello:

Interestingly enough, I haven't come across this before. I have a SQL stored procedure which takes four parameters; periodstartdate (datetime), periodenddate (end time), hsgradyearstart (int), hsgradyearend (int)


[dbo].[CalculateActivityTotal]

-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here

@periodstartdate datetime = '2007-01-01',

@periodenddate datetime = '2007-01-08',

@hsgradyearstart int = 1900,

@hsgradyearend int = 2007
AS...

If I run the stored procedure and pass the parameters using EXEC or

sp_executesql "CalculateActivityTotal '2008-01-04 12:00:00', '2008-01-11 12:00:00', 1900, 2008"

the stored proc takes well over ten minutes to run (it does a bunch of aggregation). If I modify the stored procedure to take no parameters, however, and I hardcode the dates in the stored proc using declare and set then it runs in 13 seconds. What could be causing my problem and how I can I go about resolving this? I need to pass the parameters via reporting server. Thanks!

Can You Trace Into A Stored Proc? Also Does RAISERROR Terminate The Stored Proc Execution.

Feb 13, 2008

I am working with a large application and am trying to track down a bug. I believe an error that occurs in the stored procedure isbubbling back up to the application and is causing the application not to run. Don't ask why, but we do not have some of the sourcecode that was used to build the application, so I am not able to trace into the code.
So basically I want to examine the stored procedure. If I run the stored procedure through Query Analyzer, I get the following error message:
Msg 2758, Level 16, State 1, Procedure GetPortalSettings, Line 74RAISERROR could not locate entry for error 60002 in sysmessages.
(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)
I don't know if the error message is sufficient enough to cause the application from not running? Does anyone know? If the RAISERROR occursmdiway through the stored procedure, does the stored procedure terminate execution?
Also, Is there a way to trace into a stored procedure through Query Analyzer?
-------------------------------------------As a side note, below is a small portion of my stored proc where the error is being raised:
SELECT  @PortalPermissionValue = isnull(max(PermissionValue),0)FROM Permission, PermissionType, #GroupsWHERE Permission.ResourceId = @PortalIdAND  Permission.PartyId = #Groups.PartyIdAND Permission.PermissionTypeId = PermissionType.PermissionTypeId
IF @PortalPermissionValue = 0BEGIN RAISERROR (60002, 16, 1) return -3END

Static Variables In A SQLCLR Stored Proc Seem To Get Reused From Execution To Execution Of The Sp

Aug 23, 2007

after moving off VS debugger and into management studio to exercise our SQLCLR sp, we notice that the 2nd execution gets an error suggesting that our static SqlCommand object is getting reused from the 1st execution (of the sp under mgt studio). If this is expected behavior, we have no problem limiting our statics to only completely reusable objects but would first like to know if this is expected? Is the fact that debugger doesnt show this behavior also expected?

Is There A Way To Know If Execution Of Activated Stored Proc Is Already Finished?

Oct 19, 2006

Hi everyone! Good day!

I'm not really sure if my question should fall on Service Broker or T-SQL, but I hope someone helps me with this... After activating the stored procedure assigned to the queue, is there any way for me to find out if the stored procedure is already finished executing?

I have successfully sent messages to my queue but I have no way to know if all the processing is already done.

Thanks so much!

SQL Server 2012 :: Stored Proc Execution Time Diff Between Environments

Jul 3, 2015

I have a stored proc that is executing in 2 sec on production and test database. It is taking more than a min on dev environment.

I have verified sqlserver version is same on both of the server.Prod is running on 2012Sp1 however dev don't have sp1. I am downloading it.

Both are 64bit, has same collation and compatibility level.I have confirmed that sp on both servers has same execution plan. I have reset and import stats from prod too.

Optional Parameters In A Stored Proc?

May 19, 2004

Title speaks for itself really.
Is it possible to write a stored proc with optional parameters?
For example consider the following SELECT

SELECT FLD1, FLD2 FLD3 FROM TBL1

I'd like to add optional parameters to that statement so that if they wanted to narrow down the results by providing criteria for some fields they could - but didn't have to.

Is this possible?

Passing Parameters To Stored Proc

Oct 23, 2007



I have created a stored proc for a report, which works fine. I want to have the user enter a project ID to filter the report, so set the stored proc accordingly. However, I want the user to enter a 10 digit ID, which is the equivilent of two fields in the stored proc. My where statement is :

Where actv.ProjID + '-' + actv.Activity = @project

This works fine under the data tab, I can enter a full project and get the results I want. But I cannot preview the report without getting an error. I'm not sure how to add this to the report parameters, as it is two fields concatenated together. Any help would be appreciated!

Stored Proc Update Optional Parameters

Dec 3, 2003

I have a stored procedure that updates about a dozen rows.

I have some overloaded functions that I should update different combinations of the rows - 1 function might update 3 rows, another 7 rows.

Do I have to write a stored procedure for each function or I can I handle it in the Stored Procedure. I realise I can have default values but I the default values could overwrite actual data if the values are not supplied but have been previously written.

Many thanks for any guidance.

I want to turn this SQL into a stored proc; there are currently about 8 parameters that I want to pass into it. The field value for each will be either NULL or a positive integer, and the paramater will be passed in as an integer.

If the passed parameter value is a positive integer then it should return all records where the corresponding field value matches that integer. If the passed parameter is 0, it should return all rows regardless of whether the field value is an integer or NULL.

And I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. Do I need an IF statement in there or something?

:confused:

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.

Store Proc Execution Plan

Stored Proc - Calling A Remote Stored Proc

Aug 24, 2006

I am having trouble executing a stored procedure on a remote server. On my
local server, I have a linked server setup as follows:
Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563

This works fine on my local server:

Select * From [Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563].DatabaseName.dbo.TableName

This does not work (Attempting to execute a remote stored proc named 'Data_Add':

Exec [Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563].DatabaseName.Data_Add 1,'Hello Moto'

When I attempt to run the above, I get the following error:
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563'.
No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.

Could anyone shed some light on what I need to do to get this to work?

Thanks - Amos.

Stored Proc Question : Why If Exisits...Drop...Create Proc?

Jun 15, 2006

Hi All,Quick question, I have always heard it best practice to check for exist, ifso, drop, then create the proc. I just wanted to know why that's a bestpractice. I am trying to put that theory in place at my work, but they areasking for a good reason to do this before actually implementing. All Icould think of was that so when you're creating a proc you won't get anerror if the procedure already exists, but doesn't it also have to do withCompilation and perhaps Execution. Does anyone have a good argument fordoing stored procs this way? All feedback is appreciated.TIA,~CK

ASP Cannot Run Stored Proc Until The Web User Has Run The Proc In Query Analyzer

Feb 23, 2007

I have an ASP that has been working fine for several months, but itsuddenly broke. I wonder if windows update has installed some securitypatch that is causing it.The problem is that I am calling a stored procedure via an ASP(classic, not .NET) , but nothing happens. The procedure doesn't work,and I don't get any error messages.I've tried dropping and re-creating the user and permissions, to noavail. If it was a permissions problem, there would be an errormessage. I trace the calls in Profiler, and it has no complaints. Thedatabase is getting the stored proc call.I finally got it to work again, but this is not a viable solution forour production environment:1. response.write the SQL call to the stored procedure from the ASPand copy the text to the clipboard.2. log in to QueryAnalyzer using the same user as used by the ASP.3. paste and run the SQL call to the stored proc in query analyzer.After I have done this, it not only works in Query Analyzer, but thenthe ASP works too. It continues to work, even after I reboot themachine. This is truly bizzare and has us stumped. My hunch is thatwindows update installed something that has created this issue, but Ihave not been able to track it down.

Parameters Disabled With Snapshot Report Execution

May 29, 2007

Is there a way to schedule report snapshots and still give users the option to change the parameters? I found that report parameters are disabled when I set the execution options to use a snapshot. I fixed the problem by setting the report to use cached data that expires on a custom schedule and by scheduling an e-mail subscription that creates a new report cache soon after the cache expires. I'm guessing there must be a better way to provide good report performance with the default parameters as well as flexibility.

Calling Stored Proc B From Stored Proc A

Jan 20, 2004

Hi all

I have about 5 stored procedures that, among other things, execute exactly the same SELECT statement

Instead of copying the SELECT statement 5 times, I'd like each stored proc to call a single stored proc that executes the SELECT statement and returns the resultset to the calling stored proc

The SELECT statement in question retrieves a single row from a table containing 10 columns.

Is there a way for a stored proc to call another stored proc and gain access to the resultset of the called stored proc?

I know about stored proc return values and about output parameters, but I think I am looking for something different.

Thanks

Calling T SQL Stored Proc From CLR Stored Proc

Aug 30, 2007

I would like to know if the following is possible/permissible:

myCLRstoredproc (or some C# stored proc)
{
//call some T SQL stored procedure spSQL and get the result set here to work with

INSERT INTO #tmpCLR EXECUTE spSQL
}

spSQL
(

INSERT INTO #tmpABC EXECUTE spSQL2
)


spSQL2
(
// some other t-sql stored proc
)


Can we do that? I know that doing this in SQL server would throw (nested EXECUTE not allowed). I dont want to go re-writing the spSQL in C# again, I just want to get whatever spSQL returns and then work with the result set to do row-level computations, thereby avoiding to use cursors in spSQL.

Data Driven Sub Calling Proc With Multiple Parameters

Aug 31, 2007

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone might be able to provide some direction on.



1. Why can't you call a proc when the proc uses temp tables? I wrote a simple proc (select * from table) and the data subscription works perfect. I then take that same query and put it into a temp table and the data set can't be validated by the subscription, Why?



2. Why can't you pass a simple execute statement in a data subscription? (execute dbo.RptTakeTheLeadFLSDinnerCompetition @FiscalQuarter ='2007-Q3', @StoreRegionID = '9231', @StoreType = 'Full-Line Store') works perfect in SQL but once you try and validate in the data subscription is fails.



3. Another question, why if I dumb down the proc and the number of parameters does it work? Are there limitations on the number of parameters you can pass into a proc from a data driven subscription?



Basically, I want to declare a few variables dynamically and pass them into a execute statement that calls the proc. Which in turn runs the report.



Any ideas on where I seem to be going wrong?

DTS Database Transfer - Slowing Down The Server

May 29, 2001

We have a process here where a ~45Gb is copied from DB1 to DB2 (both on the same server) using the Export Data wizard and choosing the "Transfer objects and data between SQL Server 7.0 databases" - All the defaults are left as is.

Under 6.5 this method took around 24 - 26 hours, now with SQL 7.0 (SP3) it takes about 16 hours. That's great execpt towards the end of the copy it seems to be hogging most of the server resources - although the processors aren't mazed out.

Users of the other databases are having queries take 5+ mins when they normally come back in < 5 seconds. As soon as the copy finishes there query time return to 'normal'.

Anyone any ideas on where to start looking or how to analyse this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Indexes Slowing Down BULK INSERT

Jul 20, 2005

I've been doing some experiments with speeding up copying tables ofapproximately 1 million rows between databases using BCP and BULK INSERT.I noticed that the total time for removing the indexes (non-clustered) andthen recreating them after the BULK INSERT was significantly less than justdoing the BULK INSERT with the indexes left there, even though I specifiedTABLOCK.I would have expected SQL Server not to update the index until the insertcompleted (given the table lock) and so removing the indexes would have noeffect. Can anyone explain why removing the indexes should speed it up?This is on SQL Server 7.CheersDave
