T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Procedure Parameter Length Declaration Less Than Column Length?
Jun 30, 2014
is there any way or a tool to identify if in procedure the Parameter length was declarated less than table Column length ..
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST001 (KeyName Varchar(100) ) a procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE SpFindNames ( @KeyName VARCHAR(40) )
AS
BEGIN
SELECT KeyName FROM TEST001
WHERE KeyName = @KeyName
END
KeyName = @KeyName
Here table Column with 100 char length "KeyName" was compared with SP parameter "@KeyName" with length 40 char ..
IS there any way to find out all such usage on the ALL Procedures in the Database ?

Hi guys, is there any way to solve my problem as title ? Assuming my stored proc is written as below :
CREATE PROC TEST
@A VARCHAR(8000) = '1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,...,5000'
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @B nvarchar(MAX);
SET @B = 'SELECT * FROM C WHERE ID IN ( ' + @A + ')'
EXECUTE sp_executesql @B
END
GO

For those of you who would like to reference my exact issue, I'm dealing with the RSExecution SSIS package at the "Update Parameters" data flow task, at the Script Component.
The script tries to split parameter data into name and value. Unfortunately, I have several reports that are passing parameters that are very large. One example has over 65,000 characters all in the normal "¶mname=value&parm2=value..." format.
The code in the script works fine until it gets to one of these very large parameter sets. I have figured out what is causing the issue. Here's some code:
Dim paramBlob as Byte()
paramBlob = Row.BlobColumn.GetBlobData(0, Row.BlobColumn.Length)
The second parameter of the .GetBlobData function takes an INTEGER as its count! Therefore, no matter what kind of datatype I pass to the string that the script will later split, it will be limited to 32767 characters.
THIS IS A PROBLEM!!!
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue? I need all of the parameter data to be reported, and I would hate to have to skip over rows like this. Also, if I'm missing something, please fill me in!
Thanks for your help in advance,
LOSTlover

I am trying to narrow down this problem. Basically, I added 3 columns to my article table. It holds the article id, article text, author and so on. I tested my program before adding the additional field to the program. The program works fine and I can add an article, and edit the same article even though it skips over the 3 new fields in the database. It just puts nulls into those columns.So, now I have added one of the column names I added in the database to the code. I changed my businesslogic article.vb code and the addarticle.aspx, as well as the New article area in the addartivle.aspx.vb page. The form now has an additional textbox field for the ShortDesc which is a short description of the article. This is the problem now: The command parameters.length is 9 and there are 10 parameter values. Right in the middle of the 10 values is the #4 value which I inserted into the code. It says Nothing when I hover my mouse over the code after my program throws the exception in 17 below. Why is command parameters.length set to 9 instead of 10? Why isn't it reading the information for value 4 like all the other values and placing it's value there and calculating 10 instead of 9? Where are these set in the program? Sounds to me like they are hard coded in someplace and I need to change them to match everything else. 1 ' This method assigns an array of values to an array of SqlParameters.2 ' Parameters:3 ' -commandParameters - array of SqlParameters to be assigned values4 ' -array of objects holding the values to be assigned5 Private Overloads Shared Sub AssignParameterValues(ByVal commandParameters() As SqlParameter, ByVal parameterValues() As Object)6 7 Dim i As Integer8 Dim j As Integer9 10 If (commandParameters Is Nothing) AndAlso (parameterValues Is Nothing) Then11 ' Do nothing if we get no data12 Return13 End If14 15 ' We must have the same number of values as we pave parameters to put them in16 If commandParameters.Length <> parameterValues.Length Then17 Throw New ArgumentException("Parameter count does not match Parameter Value count.") 18 End If19 20 ' Value array21 j = commandParameters.Length - 122 For i = 0 To j23 ' If the current array value derives from IDbDataParameter, then assign its Value property24 If TypeOf parameterValues(i) Is IDbDataParameter Then25 Dim paramInstance As IDbDataParameter = CType(parameterValues(i), IDbDataParameter)26 If (paramInstance.Value Is Nothing) Then27 commandParameters(i).Value = DBNull.Value28 Else29 commandParameters(i).Value = paramInstance.Value30 End If31 ElseIf (parameterValues(i) Is Nothing) Then32 commandParameters(i).Value = DBNull.Value33 Else34 commandParameters(i).Value = parameterValues(i)35 End If36 Next37 End Sub ' AssignParameterValues38 39 40 41

How to parse a string to equal length substrings in SQL
I am getting a long concatenated string from a query (CTVALUE1) and have to use the string in where clause by parsing every 6 characters..
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PTEMP](
[ID] [char](10) NULL,
[name] [char](10) NULL,
[CTVALUE1] [char](80) NULL
)
INSERT INTO PTEMP
VALUES('11','ABC','0000010T00010L0001000T010C0001')
select * from ptemp
after parsing I have to use these values in a where clause like this
IN('000001','0T0001','0L0001','000T01','0C0001')
Now ,the values can change I mean the string may give 5 values(6 character) today and 10 tomorrow..So the parsing should be dynamic.

Hi,
I am creating a piece of code to create audit tables based on my current tables. I'm using the info in sysobjects to get this done, but I have one problem.
I can't seem to find the actual lenght of a column, I tried with the systypes.length, but that was obviously not what I needed. Does someone know how (or where) I can retrieve the length that I need?
thx in advance.

I have a table this is populated by a flat file. In the desc field from the flat file some of the data is very long up to 150 characters in length. I have to export this data after some transformations to a fixed width file. I need to check the length of the data in the desc field and any thing that is to long needs to be put in a desc2 field, however any values in desc that are shorter than 36 characters in length needs to have spaces padding it up to 36 characters as well as the desc2 field. Any help would be great. I am not the best T-SQL programmer in the world and have limited time to get this done.

Hi,
I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure:
**************
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime
as
begin
DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)
truncate table ForEthnicPivot
INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot
SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity
FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode
where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate
GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team
SET @Teams = ''
--// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.
SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],'
FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team
--// Remove the trailing comma
SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1)
--// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list
--// of dates for the columns
EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' )
end
************
I can call the function:
exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'
and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error
message:
There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.
Anyone had similar error and sorted it?
Cheers

Hi,
I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error,
��SQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. ��
Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look.
The package runs without error when I execute the package itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello Friends,
I am working on a web application and using Sql Server 2005 as a Databasew. I want to define a variable with the datatype as defined in the database. Let me give an example.
In my web say there is a field "First Name" and for that I had created a TextBox "txtFirstName" in code behind to get this value I have defined a variable
String getFirstName;
Now this variable has to be stored into the table "Person" into the column "FirstName" which is of type "nvarchar" and having length "20" So I want to get this length programatically so that I can assign this number (20) to the maxlength property of the textbox "txtFirstName" so that in future if the legth of the database column changes it should no be needed to change in code also.
Caqn it be done? If yes please let me know.
Thanks & RegardsGirish Nehte

i'd like to create a stored procedure that takes the left 200 characters and copies them to a ShortText column (NVarChar) for initial display and then id like to set a bit column to indicate if the length of the NText column is greater than 200.
Len and Left cant be used against NText so how can i work with the NText data ??

Hello, I am using the JDCB-ODBC driver for my app, but one of the columns in my WHERE clause is 255 characters long. Because of this no rows are returned even though the statement should return 1 or 2 rows. I've tried other JDBC-ODBC drivers too and they have the same problem. Additionally, I've tried using RTrim(), Substring(), etc and it still will not work....any ideas? Is it a driver bug? Anyone know of a driver that will work?
Sample code....
ResultSet rs = dbRetrieve.getStatement().executeQuery( sql ) ;
if (rs.next()) {
// Never gets here
}
Thanx!
