Local Variables Problem
Jun 12, 2008quote:list the first and the last name of the employee with a name of Thomas. Use local variables for the first name and the last name and the @@ROWCOUNT command.
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @variable varchar(50)
SET @variable = 'name'
SELECT @variable = fname + ' ' + lname
FROM employee
WHERE @variable = '%Thomas%'
IF @@ROWCOUNT > 0
PRINT 'Employee Name is ' + @variable
ELSE
PRINT 'Employee not found'
when i execute it, it said employee not found. what do i need to add or revise?
it should be:
quote:Employee Name is Argon Thomas.
Create Database Using Local Variables
Feb 4, 1999I have an installation script and want to create a database based on some data in a table (config). Testing the script though I get a message:
Msg 170, Level 15, State 1
Line 12: Incorrect syntax near '@DBData'.
The relevant sql is:
declare @DBName varchar (40)
declare @DBData varchar (40)
declare @DBLog varchar (40)
declare @DBSize int
select @DBName = obj_txt from config where obj_nm='DBName'
select @DBData = @DBName + '_Data'
select @DBLog = @DBName + '_Log'
select @DBSize = obj_int from config where obj_nm='DBSize'
raiserror('Creating Database %s ....',0,1,@DBName) with nowait
Create Database @DBName
on @DBData = @DBSize
Log on @DBLog = @DBSize
I don't think there's anything wrong, apart from the fact I am using the local variables. Is this allowed on a Create Database statement? I haven't found anything in Technet that may help.
Here's hoping....
Thanks

Local Variables In Case Statment
Nov 11, 2004Hi
I am trying to use a global variable in a case when and am not getting the correct results. If I use static data, it works fine.
Here is a tableless example, which should return Shipper. Any ideas are appreciated.
Code:
declare @shipperGBS varchar(3000)
declare @sQuote char
set @sQuote = char(39)
set @shipperGBS = 'ACI,ADO,ALD,AMS,AWB'
set @shipperGBS = Replace(@shipperGBS, ',', @sQuote + ',' + @sQuote)
set @shipperGBS = @sQuote + @shipperGBS + @sQuote
select case when ('ACI' IN (@shipperGBS)) then 'Shipper' else 'Consignee' end as ClientCharge
Set Local Variables When EXEC-ing A Sql String
Nov 23, 2006Hey guys, needless to say I'm new at this.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to execute a SQL string via exec and inside it set the value of a local variable. I understand that I cannot do this the way I'm currently doing it because an Executed string runs in a scope of its own so local variables are invisible. And sure enough this is the error I get. So how do I make this work?
Code snip:
declare @ErrMessage as varchar(1000)
set @Sql = 'if exists ( select * from ' + @TargetTable + ' where (' + @ValueField + '=' + '''' + @NewValue + ''''
set @Sql = @Sql + ' and ' + @TagField + '= ' + '''' + @Tag + '''' + '))' + @CRLF
set @Sql = @Sql + 'set @ErrMessage = ''Insertion could not be performed. ' + @NewValue + ' is already an entry in the table. '''
So what I want is check if a certain table has entries...what table? I don't know, there are tens that this check will apply to. And if that tavle has an entry that satisfies the where clause then assign the appropriate error message to @ErrMessage.
I understand sp_executesql might do the trick because it allows passing local params back and forth.
Any ideas on how to make this work? I appreciate the effort.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs It Possible To Index Local Table Variables?
May 7, 2008I have a function that returns a table of matching names. For the most part it returns under 5,000 results which doesn't cause too much lag joining to the search report data (which is indexed). But sometimes there might be 10,000 + search name results. I find this and higher can cause excessive lag joining. Is it possible to index this result table from the function? Or any other suggestions?

Memory Usage For Local Variables In Stored Procedures
Jul 3, 2003I 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?
Stored Proc: Query Vals To Local Variables
Aug 18, 2004I am brand spankin new to stored procedures and don't even know if what I want to do is possible. From everything I've read it seems like it will be. I have a table, punchcards. In this table are all the punch in/out times for a week. I want to create a stored proc to calculate how many hours a punchcard entry is.
Thats the dream.
The reality is that I can't even get a tinyint from a table to load to a variable and be printed out. I am using sql server 8.
Here is what I have as of this moment for my sp.
ALTER PROCEDURE usp_CalculatePunchcard
AS
DECLARE @dtPP DateTime
SET @dtPP = (SELECT thursday_in1
FROM punchcards
WHERE (punchcard_id = 1))
/*
Also tried....
SELECT @dtPP=thursday_in1
FROM punchcards
WHERE (punchcard_id = 1)
*/
PRINT @dtPP
RETURN
/*
for some reason i can't use GO ... even though every
document i've read on stored procedures has used GO
and none use RETURN
*/
The only output this is producing is ' Running dbo."usp_CalculatePunchcard". '
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am about to kick someone/something.

Manipulating Text,nText Data Types Filed In Tsql
Jul 12, 2006I have to run a dynamic sql that i save in the database as a TEXT data type(due to a large size of the sql.) from a .NET app. Now i have to run this sql from the stored proc that returns the results back to .net app. I am running this dynamic sql with sp_executesql like this..
EXEC sp_executesql @Statement,N'@param1 varchar(3),@param2 varchar(1)',@param1,@param2,GO
As i can't declare text,ntext etc variables in T-Sql(stored proc), so i am using this method in pulling the text type field "Statement".
DECLARE @Statement varbinary(16)SELECT @Statement = TEXTPTR(Statement)FROM table1 READTEXT table1.statement @Statement 0 16566
So far so good, the issue is how to convert @Statment varbinary to nText to get it passed in sp_executesql.
Note:- i can't use Exec to run the dynamic sql becuase i need to pass the params from the .net app and Exec proc doesn't take param from the stored proc from where it is called.
I would appreciate if any body respond to this.

Using TEXT Datatype As Local Variable In SP Or UDF
Mar 12, 2003I've created a stored procedure that converts an input string in richtext format (input as type TEXT) to plain text. I would like to be able to return this newly converted string, but I need to have some way of storing it in a local variable. My problem is that since I can't use the TEXT datatype as a local variable, I have no way of storing the large amounts of text I converted within the procedure. The VARCHAR(8000) just isn't large enough for my purposes. Anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing this?

Local SQL Server Instances Not Showing Up On Local Servers Tab Of Management Studio Logon Screen
Oct 2, 2007We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor (Inner Variables Vs Outer Variables)
Sep 4, 2006 Hi,
I am not comfortable with DTS 2000 but I need to execute a encapsulated DTS 2000 package from a SSIS package. The real problem is when I need to pass SSIS variables to DTS 2000 package. The DTS 2000 package have 3 global variables that I can identify on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - Inner Variables ". I believe the SSIS variables must be mapped on " Execute DTS 2000 Package Task Editor - OuterVariables ". How can I associate the SSIS variables(OuterVariables ) to "Inner Variables"? How can I do it? Much Thanks.

I would like to design a SSIS package, which have couple of variables. It loads a xls file specified in a variable [varExcelFileFullPath] .

It seems it does not get the values passed in for those variables. I deployed the package to a sql server.
are there any grammar errors here? I copied it from dtexecui. It worked inside Dtexecui not in dos command.
exec xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /SQL "LoadExcelDB" /SERVER test /USER *** /PASSWORD ****
