I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the
answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table
and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within
an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each
time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the
same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.
A regular permanent table is not an option: Need to exec a procA which at the end also exec procB.
procA will insert to table A and also generate a intermidate result set to a ##A global table, it works fine at this point. However, when it exec the procB at the end of exec procA, the ##A global table is empty when entering procB.
The key is I want to pass a records set to the procB without using a tableTempB. Does a ## global table should be still alive until procB execution is done?
I also tried use table variable, but it does not look like to accept @tableA as part of the procB's parameters.
Also tried function, but it could not support a #tempTable within it which will do a dynamic query insertion.
I have a pivot table implementation, part of which is posted below. Itreturns no errors in query analyzer, but when profiler is run, it showsthat "Error 208" is happening. I looked that up in BOL and it meansthat an object doesn't exist. This block of code below works fine on mylocal development machine, but not on our shared development serveruntil I go into the tempdb and make the user have the role db_owner.Even wierder is that when I do a select * from ##pivot there is noerror, but if I specify the single column name (pivot) i.e. selectpivot from ##pivot, it takes the error...Obviously this is a rights issue, but is there any way around thisother than making the user owner of tempdb??declare @select varchar(8000), @PackageId intset @PackageId = 10set @select = 'selectCompany = COALESCE(Users.Company, Contact.Company, ''''),SubContractPackageVendor.Id, SubContractPackageVendor.isActive,SubContractPackageVendor.isAwarded,SubContractPackageVendor.UserOrContactType,SubContractPackageVendor.UserOrContactIdFROMSubContractPackageVendorLEFT JOIN SubContractPackage ON SubContractPackageVendor.PackageId =SubContractPackage.IdLEFT JOIN Users ON UserOrContactType = ''User'' AND UserOrContactId =Users.UserIdLEFT JOIN UserRoles ON UserOrContactType = ''User'' ANDUserRoles.UserId = Users.UserId AND UserRoles.ProjectId =SubContractPackage.ProjectIdLEFT JOIN Role ON Role.RoleId = UserRoles.RoleIdLEFT JOIN Contact ON UserOrContactType = ''Contact'' ANDUserOrContactId = Contact.IdLEFT JOIN SubContractLineItem ONSubContractLineItem.RefType = ''Package'' ANDSubContractLineItem.RefId = SubContractPackageVendor.PackageIdLEFT JOIN SubContractLineItem as SubContractPackageVendorItem ONSubContractPackageVendorItem.RefType = ''PackageVendor'' ANDSubContractPackageVendorItem.RefId = SubContractPackageVendor.Id ANDSubContractPackageVendorItem.RefSubId = SubContractLineItem.IdWhereSubContractPackageVendor.PackageId = ' + CAST(@PackageId as varchar)+ 'GROUP BYSubContractPackageVendor.Id, SubContractPackageVendor.isActive,SubContractPackageVendor.isAwarded, Users.Company, Contact.Company,SubContractPackageVendor.UserOrContactType,SubContractPackageVendor.UserOrContactId'--print @sqldeclare @sumfunc varchar(100),@pivot varchar(100),@table varchar(100),@FieldPrefix varchar(5),@TotalFieldName varchar(50),@PivotFieldFilter varchar(1000)select@sumfunc ='Sum(isnull(SubContractPackageVendorItem.Total,0) )' ,@pivot ='SubContractLineItem.Category' ,@table ='SubContractLineItem' ,@FieldPrefix='~' ,@TotalFieldName = 'Total' ,@PivotFieldFilter = ' AND RefType=''Package'' AND RefId=' +CAST(@PackageId as varchar)set nocount onDECLARE @sql varchar(8000), @delim varchar(1), @TotalSql varchar(8000)SET NOCOUNT ONSET ANSI_WARNINGS OFFEXEC ('SELECT ' + @pivot + ' AS pivot INTO ##pivot FROM ' + @table + 'WHERE 1=2')EXEC ('INSERT INTO ##pivot SELECT DISTINCT ' + @pivot + ' FROM ' +@table + ' WHERE '+ @pivot + ' Is Not Null ' + @PivotFieldFilter)SELECT @sql='', @sumfunc=stuff(@sumfunc, len(@sumfunc), 1, ' END)' )SELECT @delim=CASE Sign( CharIndex('char',data_type)+CharIndex('date', data_type) )WHEN 0 THEN '' ELSE '''' ENDFROM tempdb.information_schema.columnsWHERE table_name='##pivot' AND column_name='pivot'select * from ##pivotDROP TABLE ##pivot
I need to decide what is better to use: global temp table ( I can't use local one) or permanent table in SQL 2000 stored procedures. I extract data from linked server table and update several tables on our server. Those procedures scheduled to run every 3 hours.
Another question: for some reasons when I used global temp table, I wasn't able to schedule multi steps with every step executing one of the stored procedures.I think global temp tables should be visible to other stored procedures, right?
I have to extract data from a read only table using a globel temp table then export it to another OLE DB connection or to a flat file. But in the new SSIS packages it does not allow you to do thisusing the global ## symbols in front of a table name. How do I get around this?
Looking at BOL for temp tables help, I discover that a local temp table (I want to only have life within my stored proc) SHOULD be visible to all (child) stored procs called by the papa stored proc.
However, the following code works just peachy when I use a GLOBAL temp table (i.e., ##MyTempTbl) but fails when I use a local temp table (i.e., #MyTempTable). Through trial and error, and careful weeding efforts, I know that the error I get on the local version is coming from the xp_sendmail call. The error I get is: ODBC error 208 (42S02) Invalid object name '#MyTempTbl'.
Here is the code that works:SET NOCOUNT ON
CREATE TABLE ##MyTempTbl (SeqNo int identity, MyWords varchar(1000)) INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your long message here.') INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('Put your second long message here.') INSERT ##MyTempTbl values ('put your really, really LONG message (yeah, every guy says his message is the longest...whatever!') DECLARE @cmd varchar(256) DECLARE @LargestEventSize int DECLARE @Width int, @Msg varchar(128) SELECT @LargestEventSize = Max(Len(MyWords)) FROM ##MyTempTbl
SET @cmd = 'SELECT Cast(MyWords AS varchar(' + CONVERT(varchar(5), @LargestEventSize) + ')) FROM ##MyTempTbl order by SeqNo' SET @Width = @LargestEventSize + 1 SET @Msg = 'Here is the junk you asked about' + CHAR(13) + '----------------------------' EXECUTE Master.dbo.xp_sendmail 'YoMama@WhoKnows.com', @query = @cmd, @no_header= 'TRUE', @width = @Width, @dbuse = 'MyDB', @subject='none of your darn business', @message= @Msg DROP TABLE ##MyTempTbl
The only thing I change to make it fail is the table name, change it from ##MyTempTbl to #MyTempTbl, and it dashes the email hopes of the stored procedure upon the jagged rocks of electronic despair.
Any insight anyone? Or is BOL just full of...well..."stuff"?
hi,I wish to create a temporary table who's name is dynamic based on theargument.ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[generateTicketTable]@PID1 VARCHAR(50),@PID2 VARCHAR(50),@TICKET VARCHAR(20)ASBEGINSET NOCOUNT ON;DECLARE @DATA XMLSET @DATA = (SELECT dbo.getHistoryLocationXMLF (@PID1, @PID2) as data)CREATE TABLE ##@TICKET (DATA XML)INSERT INTO ##@TICKET VALUES(@DATA)ENDis what i have so far - although it just creates a table with a name of##@TICKET - which isn't what i want. I want it to evaluate the name.any ideas?
I am creating an sp, in which I check for the existence of a global temp table (using the exists) statement. If the Exists returns a false, I move on to processing without the temp table. If it returns a true, I utilize the temp table to do some inserts. I create the temp table when my application first starts up. The problem that I am facing is that the check for the temp table`s existence seems to be failing. Is there any other way to check for the existence of a global temp table??
I want to create several global temp tables. I've created a script:
if not object_id('tempdb..##tbl_ProductTypes') is null begin drop table ##tbl_ProductTypes end select * into ##tbl_ProductTypes from dbo.tbl_ProductTypes
This script creates a global temp table. When I run it in QA the table is created. When I close QA the table is dropped. This is correct since I found the following in BoL: [Global temporary tables are automatically dropped when the session that created the table ends and all other tasks have stopped referencing them. The association between a task and a table is maintained only for the life of a single Transact-SQL statement. This means that a global temporary table is dropped at the completion of the last Transact-SQL statement that was actively referencing the table when the creating session ended.]
I created a job that executes the statement above. The job exists with success, however the table is not created!
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
Simple example: declare @tTable(col1 int) insert into @tTable(col1) values (1) select * from @tTable
Works perfectly in SQL Server Management Studio and the database connection is OK to as I may generate PP table using complex (or simple) queries without difficulty.
But when trying to get this same result in a PP table I get an error, idem when replacing table variable by a temporary table.
Message: OLE DB or ODBC error. .... The current operation was cancelled because another operation the the transaction failed.
If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION; SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE; SET XACT_ABORT ON; CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] ( [MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
The SP UserPersist_GetByCriteria does a "SELECT * FROM tbl_User WHERE gender = @Gender AND culture = @Culture", so why am I receiving this error when both tables have the same structure?
The error is being reported as coming from UserPersist_GetByCriteria on the "SELECT * FROM tbl_User" line.
I have a stored proc that creates a global temp table. How can I have multiple users select records from and insert records in that table without overwriting and/or deleting data?
Can anyone tell me or post a link that says how many global temptables can exist SQL Server 2000? Also, is there a limit to thenumber of local temp tables that can exist?Thanks,Billy
I have two global temp tables in my stored procedure.Is it possible for me to make the execution of a stored procedure dynamic. Based on a flag parameter value I should get the result set from first temp table and viceversa ex: If my flag is 0.I should be able to get the result set from ##temp1 (select * from ##temp1).If my flag is 1.I should be able to get the result set from ##temp2 (select * from ##temp2).
I want to insert the data from temp table to other table. Only condition is, it needs to sorted based on tool number and tool date. For example if we have ten records for tool number 1000, it should be order by tool number and then based on tool_dt. Both tables doesn't have any primary keys. Please find below my code. I removed all the unnecessary columns for simple understanding. INSERT INTO tool_summary (tool_nbr, tool_dt) select tool_nbr, tool_dt from #tool order by tool_nbr, tool_dt...But this query is not working as expected. Data is getting shuffled.
WE have a job that loads data from an Oralce DB into our SQL Server 2000 DB twice a day. The schedule has just changed so that now there is a possibility of having my west coast users impacted when it runs at 5 PM PST and my east coast users impacted when it runs at 7 AM EST. As a workaround, I have developed a DTS package that loads the data into temp tables instead of the real tables. IE. Oracle -> XTable_temp instead of Oracle -> XTable. The load sometimes takes about an hour to an hour and a half to load, so this solution works great, but I want to then lock the table, delete it and rename the temp table to table X. The pseudo code would be:
Begin Transaction
Lock Table XTable
Drop XTable
Alter Table XTable_temp rename to XTable
Release Lock XTable
End Transaction
Create XTable_temp
I see two issues with this solution. 1) I think if I can lock XTable that the lock would be released when the table is dropped and the XTable_temp was being renamed. 2) I can't find a command to rename a table.
I want to pass the 'inserted' table from a trigger into an SP, I think I need to do this by dumping inserted table into a temporary table and passing the temp table. However, I need to do this for many tables, and don't want to list all the column names for each table/trigger (maintenance nightmare).
Can I dump the 'inserted' table to a temp table WITHOUT specifying the column names?
I have an sql file that contains several queries that are generating numbers to populate a sql table. The sql file is too large for a single sp so I am nesting them. I have 4 nested stored procedures. Each of the queries in each stored procedure dumps into its own global temp table. The final stored procedure needs to insert into a sql table all the information gathered in the global temp tables. So the final stored proc. looks something like: "Create procedure usp_myProc_4 AS EXEC usp_myProc_3 INSERT INTO mySQLTable (a,b,c) SELECT a, b, c FROM ##myTempTable (which was created in usp_myProc_1)
INSERT INTO mySQLTable (a,b,c) SELECT a, b, c FROM ##myOtherTempTable
INSERT INTO......etc;"
I have done this befor and it worked fine. The only difference is that when I did this before these insert statements were being called from within an sp_makewebtask procedure.
Now when I try to save this final stored procedure it tells me "Invalid Object Name: ##myTempTable"
How do I call on these global temp tables from my final nested stored procedure?
Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to sql and right now I am struggling with a script. I am trying to extract data from a normal table into a temporary table, update it in the temporary table, then put it back into the normal table. I'll display my code, let me know what you think, any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Hi, I wanna know is there any advantage of perf gain when using Derived Tables over Temp Tables, advice me which one is better to use. Can I create Indexes and Insert/Update records into Derived Tables.
