Hi there,
Could any one suggest a query which yields the list of tables and columns used in a stored procedures. I know sp_depends has similar functionality, but would like to know the T-SQL code for that..

I want to be able to have an authorized person set or change the default values of a table column in a SQL Database. I have a stored procedure that sets the default which works fine: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[addMyConst]ASBEGINALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1]ADD DEFAULT 70 FOR [Auto_ourlim]END(I still need to put parameters in so that I can run the stored procedure from a form, but for now....)
To change it I know that I have to drop the constraint first like this:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dropmyValue]ASALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1] DROP CONSTRAINT [Auto_ourlim]
The problem is that when I execute the procedure I get the error that "Auto_ourlim" is not a constraint so it does not drop the Default Value. When I go over to SQL Server Management Studio Express I can see why:
If I open up the table and open up the Constraints the constraint is "DF__tbl1__Auto_ourli__5FB337D6". I could change the DROP CONSTRAINT to this, and that works, but it changes every time I add the new DEFAULT VALUE. I don't know how to get around it. Is there a way to put wildcards around "Auto_our" in DROP CONSTRAINT [Auto_ourlim}? Any suggestions would be welcome...even if there's a totally different way to do it.
What I'm trying to ultimately accomplish is this: Column1 (AutoLimits) would be user insert to the database and then in the database it would MINUS Column2 (Auto_ourlim - set with the default value) = Column3 (Difference - a computed field in the database)

How can a Stored Procedure use a variable table name and column name ?
The statement :-
SELECT @columnname FROM @tablename
gives error "Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@tablename'."
I am passing the parameters 'tablename' and 'columnname' into the stored procedure, (in order to select a variable column from a variable table).
If I hard-code the tablename, then I get a column of output with just the name of the column I was trying to list, e.g. surname,
i.e. SELECT @columnname FROM employeetable gives :-
surname
surname
surname
surname
surname
surname
How can I get the procedure to accept a variable table name and column name ?
I thought one way to do it would be to use the 'EXEC' statement :-
SELECT @sql = 'SELECT '+ @columnname +' FROM '+@tablename
EXEC(@sql)
but this gives error : "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM' "
although the following table works :-
SELECT @sql = 'SELECT surname FROM '+@tablename
EXEC(@sql)
The problem seems to be mainly with variable column names.
Also, we don't really want to use the EXEC statement because it will not be compiled and will be slower. (Does anyone know by how much slower ?)
Any advice would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Ian.

I would like to know if there is a penalty for Varchar variables in stored procedures if I declare them Varchar(8000) instead of Varchar(1000).
I have a lot of variables and sometimes the content will be more them 1000 characters.
Is memory only allocated for the the actual contents or for the complete declared length?
i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?
--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it.
--no compilation error.
CREATE PROC testTemp
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #tmp(dt)
SELECT GETDATE()
END
only on calling the proc does this give an execution error
How do I use table names stored in variables in stored procedures?
Code Snippetif (select count(*) from @tablename) = 0 or (select count(*) from @tablename) = 1000000
I receive the error 'must declare table variable '@tablename''
I've looked into table variables and they are not what I would require to accomplish what is needed.
After browsing through the forums I believe I need to use dynamic sql particuarly involving sp_executesql. However, I am pretty new at sql and do not really understand how to use this and receive an output parameter from it(msdn kind of confuses me too). I am tryin got receive an integer count of the records from a certain table which can change to anything depending on what the user requires.
Code Snippet
if exists(Select * from sysobjects where name = @temptablename)
drop table @temptablename
It does not like the 'drop table @temptablename' part here. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I could get temporary tables to work, however when I use temporary tables i get invalid object '#temptable'.
Heres what the stored procedure does.
I duplicate a table that is going to be modified by using 'select into temptable'
I add the records required using 'Insert into temptable(Columns) Select(Columns)f rom TableA'
then I truncate the original table that is being modified and insert the temporary table into the original.
Heres the actual SQL query that produces the temporary table error.
Code Snippet
Select * into #temptableabcd from TableA
Insert into #temptableabcd(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(ABC_01) as 'Field_01', Sum(ABC_02) as 'Field_02',
FROM TableB
where ColumnB = 003860
Group By ColumnA, ColumnB
TRUNCATE TABLE TableA
Insert into TableA(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
Select ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(Field_01) as 'Field_01', Sum('Field_02) as 'Field_02',
From #temptableabcd
Group by ColumnA, ColumnB
The above coding produces
Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Invalid object name '#temptableabcd'.
Why does this seem to work when I use an actual table? With an actual table the SQL runs smoothly, however that creates the table names as a variable problem from above. Is there certain limitation with temporary tables in stored procedures? How would I get the temporary table to work in this case if possible?
Thanks for the help.
Does anyone have a TSQL utility (that they can share) that recursively searchs sysobjects for a matching input parameter string(for instance column name) for stored procedure object properties that returns the stored procedure name?

How can I pass a name of a table to a stored procedure.
I want to pass the name as a parameter. The table already exists in the db.
After that, I will do
"SELECT .....

What is the right way to do that?
I have an app which calls a SP, which in turn calls a CLR Stored Procedure.
The CLR stored procedure calls a number of different tables, using a Context connection string.
The issue is that the CLR SP requires the user to have permissions to the tables directly, instead of just permissions to the SP which was expected.
If I just give permission to the SP, then the CLR SP fails. So I then add the table permissions, and it then works.
So the question is, how do I raise security so the app does not have permissions on the tables?
Hi, is there any way that I can automate granting user permissions totables/ stored procedures in SQL server 2000?I have a whole bunch of tables and rather than having to right click eachtable/ then permissions in Enterprise manager I would like to be able toiterate through each table object in a database and grant the relevantpermissions.... Same with stored procedures.Is this possible?? If so, how can I do itThanks in advanceMark

Hey all - got a problem that seems like it would be simple (and probably is : )
I'm importing a csv file into a SQL 2005 table and would like to add 2 columns that exist in the table but not in the csv file. I need these 2 columns to contain the current month and year (columns are named CM and CY respectively). How do I go about adding this data to each row during the transformation? A derived column task? Script task? None of these seem to be able to do this for me.
Here's a portion of the transformation script I was using to accomplish this when we were using SQL 2000 DTS jobs:
'**********************************************************************
' Visual Basic Transformation Script
'************************************************************************
' Copy each source column to the destination column
Function Main()
DTSDestination("CM") = Month(Now)
DTSDestination("CY") = Year(Now)
DTSDestination("Comments") = DTSSource("Col031")
DTSDestination("Manufacturer") = DTSSource("Col030")
DTSDestination("Model") = DTSSource("Col029")
DTSDestination("Last Check-in Date") = DTSSource("Col028")
Main = DTSTransformStat_OK
End Function
***********************************************************
Hopefully this question isnt answered somewhere else, but I did a quick search and came up with nothing. I've actually tried to utilize the script component and the "Row" object, but the only properties I'm given with that are the ones from the source data.
thanks in advance!

We are migrating a SQL 6.5 application with 1900 stored procedures that use 100's of temp tables to SQL 2000.
A problem we have encountered was that we started out getting an "invalid column" errors on certain procedures. Investigation determined that the error was being generated in a nested procedure. The table that caused the error ended up being a temp table that was created using "select into". The following select statement from that temp table gave the invalid column error.
First thinking it was the "Select Into" we then discovered that the outer most procedure had created a temp table of the same name prior to executing the lower level procedure. After the select into, the next statement was a SELECT that went against what it thought was the inner temp table. However, it grabbed the outermost temp table and then couldn't find the appropriate columns and generated the error.
The solution, of course, was to rename the inner most temp table. We also remove the "select into" in the procedure by explicitly creating the temp table.
We tried creating some test procedures to attempt to reproduce this scenario without complete success.
Our test created 3 procedures (sp1 calling sp2 calling sp3) to mimic the current scenario. Sp1 created a temp table and executed sp2, which executed sp3. Sp3 created another temp table using the same name as the one created in sp1.
If we create all three procedures at the same time, it doesn't matter if we change the order in which they are created or whether we create the inner temp table explicitly or with a "select into", SQL Query Analyzer won't let us create the procedure because it finds that the temp table has been declared twice. If we create the procedures separately however, they compile and allow sp3 to create a temp table by the same name as sp1. After creating the procedures independently, they runs properly in all cases with everything in proper scope and no problems.
Admittedly, this is bad coding to start with, but what is happening with the scope of the temp tables within the stored procedures?
Thanks,
Glen Smith
Hi,I'm adapting access queries to sql server and I have difficulties withthe following pattern :query1 : SELECT * FROM Query2 WHERE A=@param1query 2: SELECT * FROM Table2 WHERE B=@param2The queries are nested, and they both use parameters.In MS Acccess the management of nested queries with parameters is soeasy (implicit declaration of parameters, transmission of parametersfrom main query to nested query)that I don't know what the syntax should be for stored procedures.The corresponding stored procedure would be something likeCREATE TABLE #TempTable (...table definition...)INSERT INTO #TempTable ExecProc spQuery2 @Param2SELECT * FROM #TempTable WHERE A=@Param1And spQuery2 would be : SELECT * FROM Table2 WHERE B=@ParamI was wondering if this syntax would work and if I can skip theexplicit declaration of #TempTable definition.Thanks for your suggestions.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am a bit confused by the difference between a stored procedure and a table-valued function. Can somebody please either give me a simple explanation, or point me at something I can read.
I thought I had it worked out, and had coded some action queries as stored procedures, and I wrote a table-valued function that was effectively an encapsulated SELECT so that SELECT * FROM Spouse(@ID) worked fine. Then I wanted to use a function SpousePair, that was similar to Spouse, to power a Gridview. I discovered that I couldn't. It seems that a SQLDataSource requires either a SELECT statement or a stored procedure. So I wrote a stored procedure SpousePair(@ID1, @ID2).
I find that whereas I tested Spouse with
SELECT * FROM SPOUSE(@ID)
I tested SpousePair with
EXEC SpousePair @ID1 @id2
Now I want to combine these: if I could I would write
SELECT * FROM SPOUSE(@ID) WHERE SPOUSEID NOT IN
(SELECT SPOUSEID FROM SpousePair(@ID1, @ID2))
However this is invalid because you can't put a stored procedure in a Select statement, and SELECT .... NOT IN (EXEC SpousePair @ID1 @ID2) is also invalid.
Is there any alternative to creating a table-valued function, SpousePairA, that is identical to SpousePair but coded as a function. I'm reluctant to do this because then I'll have two bits of quite complicated SQL logic to maintain.
I want to know the differences between SQL Server 2000 storedprocedures and oracle stored procedures? Do they have differentsyntax? The concept should be the same that the stored proceduresexecute in the database server with better performance?Please advise good references for Oracle stored procedures also.thanks!!

This Might be a really simple thing, however we have just installed SQL server 2005 on a new server, and are having difficulties with the set up of the Store Procedures. Every time we try to modify an existing stored procedure it attempts to save it as an SQL file, unlike in 2000 where it saved it as part of the database itself.
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter
Using SQL 2005, SP2. All of a sudden, whenever I create any stored procedures in the master database, they get created as system stored procedures. Doesn't matter what I name them, and what they do.
For example, even this simple little guy:
CREATE PROCEDURE BOB
AS
PRINT 'BOB'
GO
Gets created as a system stored procedure.
Any ideas what would cause that and/or how to fix it?
