TableAdapter Reversing Values Sent By A Stored Procedure
Nov 5, 2007
I have a stored procedure which returns 3 different kind of values. I am checking whether a certain value entered by user is present in one of the columns of database table. Accordingly the SP returns 1 if present, -1 if not present and third value is SQL server 2005 error.
But the problem is that I am only getting -1 everytime even if the value is present.I executed the SP alone to find out if it is the one which is returning the INCORRECT value. I found that that SP is returning the correct value.
Therefore I came to the conclusion that it is the Table ADapter which got corrupted.I deleted the TableAdapter and created it again, but then it didn't solve the problem.
I have now run out of ideas.
The code of the SP is:ALTER PROCEDURE spcheck_ServerName
(@Server_Name nvarchar(50)
)
ASDECLARE @Result int
IF EXISTS
(
SELECT
NULL
FROMServerDetails WITH (UPDLOCK)
WHERE
[SERVER NAME] = @Server_Name
)
BEGINSELECT @Result = 1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @Result = -1
END
IF @@ERROR <> NULL
BEGIN
SELECT @Result = @@ERROR
END
RETURN @Result
And I am calling the tableAdapter method in the code behind file of the web form in the following manner:private int chkServerName(string sname1)
{
try
{Serverlist1TableAdapters.SERVERDETAILSTableAdapter nwAdapter = new Serverlist1TableAdapters.SERVERDETAILSTableAdapter();
int snval = (int)nwAdapter.spcheck_SName(sname1);return snval;
All- Is there a way that I can embedd a call to a stored procedure into an existing INSERT section in a table adapter? Say my objective is to call a stored procedure called personfill automatically RIGHT AFTER the TableAdapter inserts a row into the person table. One catch is that the stored procedure must be sent the value of unique identifier field person_id, which was created for the new person record automatically by the db. (If this is not possible to do, I might try using a TRIGGER in the person table.) Below is the INSERT code of the TableAdapter. My guess is that if I could call a procedure, I would want to put the call between lines 12 and 13. Your comments would be most appreciated!!! -Kurt1 <InsertCommand> 2 <DbCommand CommandType="Text" ModifiedByUser="false"> 3 <CommandText>INSERT INTO [person] ([family_id], [circle_id], [person_type_id], [last], [first], [username], [password]) VALUES (@family_id, @circle_id, @person_type_id, @last, @first, @username, @password)</CommandText> 4 <Parameters> 5 <Parameter AllowDbNull="false" AutogeneratedName="" DataSourceName="" DbType="Int16" Direction="Input" ParameterName="@family_id" Precision="0" ProviderType="SmallInt" Scale="0" Size="0" SourceColumn="family_id" SourceColumnNullMapping="false" SourceVersion="Current" /> 6 <Parameter AllowDbNull="false" AutogeneratedName="" DataSourceName="" DbType="Int16" Direction="Input" ParameterName="@circle_id" Precision="0" ProviderType="SmallInt" Scale="0" Size="0" SourceColumn="circle_id" SourceColumnNullMapping="false" SourceVersion="Current" /> 7 <Parameter AllowDbNull="false" AutogeneratedName="" DataSourceName="" DbType="Int16" Direction="Input" ParameterName="@person_type_id" Precision="0" ProviderType="SmallInt" Scale="0" Size="0" SourceColumn="person_type_id" SourceColumnNullMapping="false" SourceVersion="Current" /> 8 <Parameter AllowDbNull="false" AutogeneratedName="" DataSourceName="" DbType="AnsiString" Direction="Input" ParameterName="@last" Precision="0" ProviderType="VarChar" Scale="0" Size="0" SourceColumn="last" SourceColumnNullMapping="false" SourceVersion="Current" /> 9 <Parameter AllowDbNull="false" AutogeneratedName="" DataSourceName="" DbType="AnsiString" Direction="Input" ParameterName="@first" Precision="0" ProviderType="VarChar" Scale="0" Size="0" SourceColumn="first" SourceColumnNullMapping="false" SourceVersion="Current" /> 10 <Parameter AllowDbNull="true" AutogeneratedName="" DataSourceName="" DbType="AnsiString" Direction="Input" ParameterName="@username" Precision="0" ProviderType="VarChar" Scale="0" Size="0" SourceColumn="username" SourceColumnNullMapping="false" SourceVersion="Current" /> 11 <Parameter AllowDbNull="true" AutogeneratedName="" DataSourceName="" DbType="AnsiString" Direction="Input" ParameterName="@password" Precision="0" ProviderType="VarChar" Scale="0" Size="0" SourceColumn="password" SourceColumnNullMapping="false" SourceVersion="Current" /> 12 </Parameters> 13 </DbCommand> 14 </InsertCommand> 15 <SelectCommand> 16 <DbCommand CommandType="Text" ModifiedByUser="true"> 17
I'm sorry, this question has a pretty long preamble, but bear with me as this will fully explain my problem, and save a number of clarification questions.I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, with SQL Server 2005. After reading a Microsoft article saying that it was much better to use a three tier architecture with data adapters than to write explicit queries, I have used this approach extensively, and generally it works very well. Typical code patterns are: - Dim taPassenger As New ShippingTableAdapters.VPassengerTableAdapter Dim tbpassenger As Shipping.VPassengerDataTable Dim trpassenger As Shipping.VPassengerRow ..... ' to process all passengers from a voyage: - tbpassenger = taPassenger.GetDataByVOYid(Voyageid) For Nbr As Integer = 1 To tbpassenger.Count trpassenger = tbpassenger(Nbr - 1) ' I now have the row available in properly-typed fields, eg trpassenger.vpxName ... Next ' to read and process a single passenger tbpassenger = tapassenger.GetDataByVPXid(VPXid) trpassenger = tbpassenger(0)The table adapter has been created with Insert,Update, Delete methods. Thus you can assign values to row fields, and then update the row: - trpassenger.VPXName = "New Name" .... tapassenger.update(trpassenger)There are actually several overloads of the update method: you could have written a field list, like this, where the names (VPXid etc) would be defined in my program as variables of the appropriate type for the corresponding column. tapassenger.update(VPXid, VPXName, VPXAge, ....HOWEVER, this doesn't work properly if you have non-string data that could be null. Thus if the fourth field is a foreign key that could be null, if you write Dim VPXVoyId as Nullable(of GUID) VPXVoyid = nothing tapassenger.update(VPXid, VPXname, VPXAge, VPXVoyid, ...or Trpassenger.VPXVoyid = Nothing tapassenger.update(trpassenger) you do NOT put a null value into the database. Instead you store a value of "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000". You can solve this annoying problem in two ways: -A. If you will ALWAYS be storing a null value at this point of your program, then simply write the update statement like this: - tapassenger.update(VPXid, VPXname, VPXAge, Nothing, ...Here "Nothing" actually means "DBNull" even though it doesn't mean this when used in a normal VB assignment (and neither does DBNull).B You can use the SetxxxxNULL method: - If trpassenger.VPXVoyid = nothing then trpassenger.SetVPXVoyidNull End If tapassenger.update(trpassenger) Thus when the program logic is complex and there are many paths to the update statement I will often put statements such as this in front of the update statement, using SetxxxxxNull for all non-string values that may be null. You don't need to worry about string values because the Nullvalue property can be used to simply say that Null values are empty, and it all works properly, but for reasons unknown Microsoft have prohibited this for other data types. Now at last we get to my question, which is "How do I do the equivalent for an Insert?" tapassenger.insert does not have any overloads, and the only form is tapassenger.insert(field list). But this creates the problem above: if VPXVoyid = nothing then I insert the not-null value of "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000". If I COULD use the form tapassenger.insert(trpassenger), then I'd have another problem: if you haven't set trpassenger (for example with trpassenger = tbpassenger(0)) then it will not exist, so you will get an exception when you try to reference it. Yet you can't write If isnothing(trpassenger) then trpassenger = new shipping.vpassengerrow) (I've tries this both as an assignment, and as a Dim statement) end ifSo far I can think of only two solutions, both awful: -a/ Use multi-choice logic to choose an appropriate insert statement. If there is only one or two possibly-null fields, I could write:- If field4 = nothing then trpassenger.insert (VPXid, VPXname, VPXAge, Nothing, .. However if there is more than one possibly-null field, you need (2 to the power of nbr-of-possibly-null-fields) insert statements, with of course a lot of testing to choose which oneb/ I could insert the record with nulls, then read it back and update it. Surely there is a better way! Help! Thank you, Robert Barnes.
Hi, Summary: When my stored procedure uses temporary tables then the TableAdapter won't be able to work out the field names and so won't work. I get an error in the TableAdapter configure wizard saying: Invalid object name '#TempTable'. I'm not doing anything unusual so this must be a common problem. Let me explain: I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2000. Detail: I've written a new stored procedure (SP) that uses a temporary table in calculating the resulting results set (several fields with several rows). I recon the temporary table bit is significant. I've created a new DataSet in VS2005 and dragged the stored proc onto the DataSet design surface. I right click on the TableAdapter and enter the 'configure'. The problem is that the wizard doesn't think any fields are being returned by the SP. If I try and do it another way I get the same problem: Right click on DataSet and add new TableAdapter (same thing happens, it won't recognise that there are fields being returned from the SP). FYI: If I do it for an SP that doesn't use any temporary tables it all works like a dream (problem is that I need to use temporary tables as its complex ). Thanks for any advise
I'm using a stored procedure from sqlserver 2005 to get columns for my report. But, I don't know how to capture the returned values from the procedure and show it on the report.
I have a stored procedure that selects the unique Name of an item from one table.
SELECT DISTINCT ChainName from Chains
For each ChainName, there exists 0 or more StoreNames in the Stores. I want to return the result of this select as the second field in each row of the result set.
SELECT DISTINCT StoreName FROM Stores WHERE Stores.ChainName = ChainName
Each row of the result set returned by the stored procedure would contain:
ChainName, Array of StoreNames (or comma separated strings or whatever)
I have a stored procedure that selects * from my table, and it seems to be working fine: USE myDB GO IF OBJECT_ID ( 'dbo.GetAll', 'P') IS NOT NULL DROP PROCEDURE GetAll GO CREATE PROCEDURE GetAll AS DECLARE ref_cur Cursor FOR SELECT * FROM myTable Open ref_cur FETCH NEXT FROM ref_cur DEALLOCATE ref_cur
The problem is, I'm trying to create a DB class, and I'm not sure what Parameter settings I'm supposed to use for my returned values. Can anyone help me finish this?public class dbGet_base { public dbGet_base() { _requestId = 0; }

Hi, In stored procedure. I have to select a row, and I need many columns from the row, how do I do it in one select statement? for example set @field1 = SELECT TOP 1 field1 FROM table will select the first column from the table. set @field2 = SELECT TOP 1 field2 FROM table - this select the 2nd field. How do I select multiple columns and assign to multiple different values?

Hi, How to return values from stored procedures?? I have a value whose variable would be set thru this sp and it should return this value. How to do this?
CREATE PROCEDURE testProc AS BEGIN CREATE TABLE #tblTest(ID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY, Col1 INT) INSERT INTO #tblTest(Col1) SELECT colA FROM tableA ORDER BY colA
END
This is my simple procedure, I wanted to know whether the IDENTITY values created in #tblTest will always be consistent, I mean without losing any number in between. i.e. ID column will have values 1,2,3,4,5..... or is there any chance of ID column having values like 1,2, 4, 6,7,8....
I have a stored procedure. Into this stored procedure i need to pass values to a 'IN' statement from asp.net. So when i am passing it , it should b in like a string variable with the ItemIds separated by commas. the procedure i have is :
create procedure SelectDetails @Id string as Select * from DtTable where itemid in(@Id)
Here the itemid field in DtTable is of type int. Now when i execute the produre it is showing error as the Itemid is int and i am passing a string value to it. How can i solve this problem?
Hi, I am trying to get the combination of results in my stored procedure, I am not getting what I need. Following are the things which I need to return from my stored proc. 1. I need to select distinct categories and their record count 2. I also need to select the records from the table. 3. Need to send both category, record counts and records. First is it possible in stored procedure? Following is helpful information.
Data in tables looks like this. prod id, prod_name, prod_category 1, T shirts, Mens Apparel 2 , Shirts, Mens Apparel 3 , Pants , Mens Apparel 4, Tops , Women Wear 5, Bangles, Women Wear
And in User Interface I need to show like this.
Mens Apparel (3) 1 T Shirts 2 Shirts 3 Pants
Women Wear (2) 4 Tops 5 Bangles
Please help me if there is any way to return the complete data structure using stored procedure. If I do something in java code, I can get this, but I am trying to get directly from stored procedure only.
Before I start a small project I am interested in the best way to do it. I work for a college doing management information and generally finding problems with our data. A regular thing I end up with is a set of student ID's which I need to lookup. Through the front end this takes a while as I have to look them up individually and I often need to compare ID's.
What I have thought about making is a system where I can select a set of ID's and search for all of them. I will probably make this through C# pasting the set of id's into a datagridview and providing the results in another one.
The problem I have is I don't know how to send a set of ID's (so I would probably be using where IN (SET OF ID's). I read briefly a while back about passing a type table but am unfamiliar with how to use it. This is sql 2000 server.

I have a requirement to get two count values from a stored procedure and use those values in other stored procedure. How can I do that. I'm able to get only 1 value if i use the return key word.
Eg:
create proc test1 as Begin Declare scount int Declare scount2 int -- statements in stored procedure return scount return scount2 End
create proc test2
Declare variables... Exec Test1 // here i want the values (scount and scount2 ), processed in stored procedure Test1 .
Hi I am new to C# . I have a stored procedure which takes 4 parameters GetSearchComplaint( Comp_ID , strViolator, strSts, FromDate, ToDate), These parameters can be null. And i have 5 textboxes from which i send the parameters. I am validating the input like this :System.Nullable<int> Comp_ID; if ((txtsrchCompID.Text).Trim() == "") {Comp_ID = null; }else if ((txtsrchCompID.Text).Trim() == "") { try {int i = int.Parse(txtsrchCompID.Text); Comp_ID =i; catch {mesage += "Complaint ID is not valid"; } }
When i run this i get this error ---'Use of unassigned local variable 'Comp_ID' I get the same error for FromDate(DateTime) and ToDate(DateTime) . but not for string variables strViolator and strSts. How do i pass the null value to the stored procedure? pls help..
Hi all, I’m returning two values from a stored procedure, one is a basic string confirming that an email has been sent and the other is the normal value returned from running an INSERT statement. So in my code I’m using the ExecuteNonQuery() method. I’m not sure how to handle both returned values in my code in my data layer. This is what I have: ExecuteNonQuery(cmd); return Convert.ToString(cmd.Parameters["@ReturnedValue"].Value).ToLower(); Obviously I’d need to return the value returned by the ExecuteNonQuery method as well, normally I’d simply convert the value to an int and precede this with the return keyword like so: return (int)ExecuteNonQuery(cmd); Obviously I can’t do this as I need to return two values, the normal value returned by the ExecuteNonQuery() method and my own output parameter value. Any ideas how I can do both? My current method containing the code further above returns a string but clearly this doesn’t help. I’m guessing that maybe I should return an object array so I can return both values? I haven’t encountered this problem before so I’m just guessing. Please help. Thanks
Hi All, I'm a newbie learning windows applications in visual basic express edition, am using sqlexpress 2005 So i have a log in form with username and password text fields.the form passes these values to stored procedure 'CheckUser' Checkuser then returns a value for groupid. If its 1 they are normal user, if its 2 its admin user. Then opens another form called Organisations, and closes the log in form. However when i run the project, and enter a username and password and press ok ti tells me that there is incorrect syntax beside a line. I have no idea, and I'm sure that there is probably other things wrong in there. here is the code for the login button click event: Public Class Login Dim connString As String = "server = .SQL2005;" & "integrated security = true;" & "database = EVOC" 'Dim connString As String = _ '"server = .sqlexpress;" _ '& "database = EVOC;" _ '& "integrated security = true;"

I have two tables called A and B and C. Where A and C has the same schema A contains the following columns and values-------------------------------------------PoId Podate Approved 2 2008-07-07 No 4 2007-05-05 No 5 2005-08-06 Yes 6 2006-07-07 Yes Table B contains the following columns and values-------------------------------------------------TaskId TableName Fromdate Approved_Status 1 A 7/7/2007 No3 B 2/4/2006 Yes Now i need to create a stored procedure that should accept the values (Yes/No) from the Approved_Status column in Table B and should look for the same values in the Approved column in Table A. If both values match then the corresponding rows in Table A should be archived in table C which has the same schema as that of Table A. That is the matching columns should get deleted from Table A and shoud be inserted into Table C. Pls provide me with full stored procedure code. It is very urgent.
hi friends,i need to select some of the employees from the EmpMaster using in clause.

Hello. im tryinng to build an application that has a girdview with values from 2 different tables. The select query i have used in a stored procedure works great but when i try to write something to update into 2 different tables I cant figure out how to do it. This is the first time im writing stored procedures but from what i can tell i need to do 2 seperate updates to insert mu values. im using the AdventureWorksLT database provided by microsoft to experiment with and my gridview consists of 2 tables populated by the following stored procedure:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetSomething AS SELECT Customer.CustomerID, Customer.LastName, Customer.FirstName, CustomerAddress.AddressID, CustomerAddress.AddressType FROM SalesLT.Customer, SalesLT.CustomerAddress WHERE Customer.CustomerID = CustomerAddress.CustomerID
RETURN What id like to do is to make the GridView editable and then send the all thee values back so the changes are saved in both tables. Could anyone help me write a stored procedure that gets the values from the fields in the gridview that is beeing changed and send them back to the tables?
I've got a field that might have spurious values in it (say, an admin adds a new row but doesn't have an entry for this field). I'm trying to swap in the string no_image_EN.jpg if the value in the db does NOT end in .jpg. That way, any value rreturned is either a valid filename or no_image I'm having trouble with the CASE statement, particularly testing just the last few cahracters of the string: select product_code, CASE can_image_en ?? When (can_image_en LIKE '%.jpg') then can_image_en Else 'no_image_EN.jpg' End as can_image_en, none of these do the trick either (some are bad syntax obviously): ? When (can_image_en LIKE '%.jpg') then can_image_en ? When LIKE '.jpg' then can_image_en ? When '%.jpg' then can_image_en ? When right(can_image_en,4) = '%.jpg' then can_image_en This is the one that has correct syntax, though it seems to return false in ALL cases CASE can_image_en When '%.jpg%' then can_image_en Else 'no_image_EN.jpg'
Hi,I created the SQL 2005 stored procedure below:CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[STP_val_deliverable_path]@s_no smallint,@deliverable_path nvarchar(255) OUTPUTWhen I run in ASP.NET 2005 the stored procedure from server explorer Iget the value 'X:my directory.......'.When I run the procedure from code: Dim var_deliverable_path As String Dim cmm_select As New SqlCommand("STP_val_deliverable_path",connection) cmm_select.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure var_param = New SqlParameter var_param.ParameterName = "deliverable_path" var_param.Direction = Data.ParameterDirection.Output var_param.Value = "C:" cmm_select.Parameters.Add(var_param) cmm_select.Connection.Open() cmm_select.ExecuteNonQuery() cmm_select.Connection.Close() var_deliverable_path =CType(cmm_select.Parameters("deliverable_path").Value, String)The var_deliverable_path has the value of 'X' only, not the wholestring.What could be the problem ?
I am trying to use a stored procedure inside the scripter in a site server pipeline. Can anyone tell me how the scripter will read the the result which is a variable. The stored procedure is returning the right value when run in query analyzer but I don't know how to retrieve it inside the pipeline.
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...
