I was wondering if it is possible to create a stored procedure to create databases. The only parameter would need to be the name of the database. Do I have to use a bunch of EXEC statements, or is there a better way?
I've created basic stored procs before, but never one for something like this.
Thanks.
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

I am trying to create a trigger that fires after a user logon and logoff and does the following:
creates a new user
deletes data from old temp table
Then I need to create a stored procedure that executes dynamically to
drop old users
remove the old user account access
We are running SQL Server 2000.
Since I am new to T-SQL programming could anyone help point me in the right direction? Can I write dynamic SQL in a trigger to do these things?
My simple CLR Stored procedure is as below:
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static int MyParallelStoredProc(string name1, string name2)
{
Thread t = null;
Worker wth = null;
int parallel = 2;
Object[] obj = new object [parallel];
SqlPipe p;
p = SqlContext.Pipe;
for (int i = 0; i < parallel; i++)
{
if (i == 0)
wth = new Worker(name1);
else
wth = new Worker(name2);
t = new Thread(new System.Threading.ThreadStart(wth.WorkerProc));
t.Name = "Thread -" + i.ToString() + ":";
t.Start();
p.Send(t.Name + ":Started");
obj[ i] = t;
}
for (int i = 0; i < parallel; i++)
{
t = (System.Threading.Thread)obj[ i];
t.Join();
p.Send(t.Name + ":Finished");
}
return 0;
}
The worker class implementing Thread Proc:
public class Worker
{
private string Name;
public Worker(string name)
{
SqlPipe p;
p = SqlContext.Pipe;
Name = name;
p.Send("In Constructor:" + Name);
}
public void WorkerProc()
{
SqlPipe p;
p = SqlContext.Pipe;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
p.Send(i.ToString()+":"+Name);
}
}
The assembly is registered with UNSAFE permission set.
CREATE ASSEMBLY
ThreadTest
FROM
'C:\ThreadTestinDebugThreadTest.dll'
WITH
permission_set = unsafe;
GO
CREATE PROC ParallelStoredProc
@Name1 NVARCHAR(1024),
@Name2 NVARCHAR(1024)
AS
EXTERNAL NAME ThreadTest.[MyTest.ThreadTest].MyParallelStoredProc
When I invoke the the stored procedure from T-SQL script as below,
EXEC ParallelStoredProc @Name1, @Name2
the thread class constructor gets called; but the 'WorkerProc' does not execute ?
Whether an UNSAFE assembly is allowed to spawn threads
inside SQL Server ?
Hello,
i need to create temporary table inside SP.
i having one string variable @strQuery which contain dynamic query inside SP.
i am executing that trhough execute sp_executesql @strQuery once query build.
now instead of select query , i want to creat hash table.
so i wrote :
set @strQuery = "Select * into #tmp_tbl from table_name..."
when i tried to execute it through
execute sp_executesql @strQuery , its giving error 'Invalid object name '#tmp_tbl'
If i removed Hash then it works fine. even for double Hash also its work fine.
but i want hash table only as i want that table local to that user.
Even direct execution of select statement without @strQuery works fine. but i want to execute @strQuery through execute sp_executesql @strQuery only as query is dynamic .
please guide me how to do this?
its very urgent for me.
thanks in advance.
I have a Stored proc which on execution, will generate data in the view .
My requirement is using SSIS, how can I create a Flat file pointing to this view ?
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
Here is my code
ALTER PROCEDURE Test
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @From varchar(10)
DECLARE @To varchar(10)
DECLARE @DBName varchar
SELECT TOP 1 @From = CONVERT(char,CreateDate,101) FROM CustomerInfo
WHERE TicketNum =
(SELECT TOP 1 TicketNum FROM CustomerInfo
WHERE CreateDate <= DATEADD(mm, -30, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)
ORDER BY CreateDate DESC)
SELECT @To = CONVERT(char,GETDATE(),101)
SET @DBName = 'Archive_SafeHelp'
CREATE DATABASE @DBName + ' ' + @From + ' ' + @To
END
I am trying to create a database based on the name contained in the variables. I get the error 'Incorrect syntax near '@DBName'. How do i accomplish this?
Thanks

Hi Gurus,
I have partiular stored procedure.Now i want to know as this PROC belongs to which DATABASE.On a server we may be having several databases from those how can we know as this PROC belongs to particular database.Is there ay systable for this..?
Thanks,

I have a set of stored procedures copied into several databases (similar table structures but different data). I would like to avoid maintaining so many versions of the same procedures, so want to put the stored procs in a common database and execute it from there, e.g.
exec common_db..the_procedure
However, when you do that, the procedure executes in the context of common_db, not in the context of the calling proc's database. Is there a way of calling a procedure so that the calling proc's context is used?

For what it's worth, I hacked up MS' sp_spacedused and created a new stored procedure called sp_dbspaceused. I made the following modifications:
1. It returns a single resultset (instead of multiple resultsets);
2. I eliminated the options that were specfically geared towards sizing of individual objects (no object name parameter and no update statistics parameter);
3. I eliminated the formatting from the result set (the numbers are expressed in KB)
Place the code into an admin database or (more risky and less "best practice") directly into your master database.
Usage:
USE MyDatabase
GO
EXEC AdminDatabase.dbo.sp_dbspaceused
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_dbspaceused

hey all,
basically, what I am trying to achieve to 2 types of search functions...
Search for All terms (easy and complete) and search for Any Terms...
the way I have gone about this so far is to in my asp.net app, split the search string by spaces, and then search for each word, and merging the resulting dataset into the main return dataset.
this, however has a few problems. the result dataset will contain duplicate values, and i am running queries in a loop.
What i am looking for is a one-stop-shop stored procedue that will split the search string, loop through each word, and add the results to a return table, ONLY if it does not exist already within the return table.
Can anyone point me in the right direction... basically with the splitting of the string and the looping through the words...the rest i think i can handle...
or any other hints/tips/tricks would also be helpful.
Thanks Everyone!

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.
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.

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
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.
