UDF Or Regular Sproc To Return Value Of Simple Operation
Apr 7, 2008
I currently have the statistical median operation implemented via a sproc. However, I'm having some issues now that I went to get at it. For example, I have another sproc which returns various information for a set of employees' salaries - avg, high, low, median. I can compute the 1st three using built in functions, but of course median I must use my own sproc.
Apparently you can't execute a sproc from a sproc and automagically get the input. You must use the OUTPUT command, along with OUTPUT variables. Now my question:
Is it better to use a UDF to do this or a sproc? Also, what kind of UDF (very new to UDF and TSQL in general). I tried to implement a scalar based one, but I need to create a query string in the function (there are conditiaional requirements to consider), which it doesn't seem to allow. Thanks!
This is my function, it returns SQLDataReader to DATALIST control. How to return page number with the SQLDataReader set ? sql server 2005, asp.net 2.0
Function get_all_events() As SqlDataReader Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("...........")) Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand("EVENTS_LIST_BY_REGION_ALL", myConnection) myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim parameterState As New SqlParameter("@State", SqlDbType.VarChar, 2) parameterState.Value = Request.Params("State") myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterState)
Dim parameterPagesize As New SqlParameter("@pagesize", SqlDbType.Int, 4) parameterPagesize.Value = 20 myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterPagesize)
Dim parameterPagenum As New SqlParameter("@pageNum", SqlDbType.Int, 4) parameterPagenum.Value = pn1.SelectedPage myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterPagenum)
Dim parameterPageCount As New SqlParameter("@pagecount", SqlDbType.Int, 4) parameterPageCount.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue myCommand.Parameters.Add(parameterPageCount)
myConnection.Open() 'myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) 'pages = CType(myCommand.Parameters("@pagecount").Value, Integer) Return myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection) End Function
Variable Pages is global integer.
This is what i am calling DataList1.DataSource = get_all_events() DataList1.DataBind()
How to return records and also the return value of pagecount ? i tried many options, nothing work. Please help !!. I am struck
I am trying to do something quite simple but i need some help. I am trying to insert some values into a table in my db. Lets say column country_id and city_id are required fields but state_id is not. I am using a stored proc that looks likeCREATE procedure spAdd_Countries_States_Cities @country_id int, @state_id int , @city_id int AS insert Countries_States_Cities (country_id, state_id, city_id) values (@country_id, @state_id, @city_id)GOThe problem is if I only pass two values into this proc I get an error saying that the sproc is looking for state_id. At the same time I need it there in case a state_id is being added. How do I work around this problem?Thanks
Can anyone help me modify this sproc's Where clause or Joins to let (T) task records with a 0 to be returned? If I enter a ClientID I want to return only those task records with the ClientID I entered (this works). If I enter no ClientID I want to return all task records, even those with a 0 in the ClientID field. ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.CMAdmin @SID int AS SELECT A.CompanyName, C.FirstName, C.LastName, C.ClientID,Convert(varchar(10), T.ActionDate, 10) AS [Action Date], T.Priority, T.Status, T.Subject, T.Note, T.CompletionDate, 10) AS Completed, T.DateEntered AS Entered, T.EnteredBy AS [Entered By], CASE WHEN A.[CompanyName] IS NULL OR A.[CompanyName] = '' THEN C.[FirstName] +' '+ C.[LastName] ELSE A.[CompanyName] END AS DRName FROM tblClients C LEFT OUTER JOIN tblClientAddresses A ON C.ClientID = A.ClientID LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.tblTasks T ON C.ClientID = T.ClientID WHERE C.ClientID = Isnull(@SID,C.ClientID)
Could someone please tell me why the following SELECT statement...
SELECT ID, SpecimenNr, ScientificName, Locality, TaxonFROM petrander.QueryViewWHERE (InstitutionCode = 1) AND (Collectioncode = 1) AND (ScientificName LIKE N'%le%') AND (Locality LIKE N'%Fakse%') AND (22 IN (ParentID1, ParentID2, ParentID3, ParentID4, ParentID5, ParentID6, ParentID7, ParentID8))
...gives me 9 rows back, but embedding the exact same statement in the following sproc... set ANSI_NULLS ONset QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONGOALTER PROCEDURE [petrander].[DynamicQuery] @taxparent int = NULL, @museum int = NULL, @collection int = NULL, @binomen Nvarchar(254) = NULL, @locality Nvarchar(254) = NULLAS SELECT ID, SpecimenNr, ScientificName, Locality, Taxon FROM QueryView WHERE InstitutionCode = COALESCE(@museum, InstitutionCode) AND CollectionCode = COALESCE(@collection, CollectionCode) AND ScientificName LIKE 'N%' + @binomen + '%' AND Locality LIKE 'N%' + @locality + '%' AND (@taxparent IN (ParentID1, ParentID2, ParentID3, ParentID4, ParentID5, ParentID6, ParentID7, ParentID8))
...and passing the exact same parameter values to with the following execute statement...
The following T-SQL 2005 snippet executes a remote sproc on an Oracle database. DECLARE @OutParam VARCHAR(5) EXEC ('{Call getnextpin(1)}') AT ALTTEST GetNextPin takes a single input parameter. I need to modify the above code snippet to return the next PIN number into @OutParam. Any ideas? Any help appreciated.
I recently updated the datatype of a sproc parameter from bit to tinyint. When I executed the sproc with the updated parameters the sproc appeared to succeed and returned "1 row(s) affected" in the console. However, the update triggered by the sproc did not actually work.
The table column was a bit which only allows 0 or 1 and the sproc was passing a value of 2 so the table was rejecting this value. However, the sproc did not return an error and appeared to return success. So is there a way to configure the database or sproc to return an error message when this type of error occurs?
I'm using SQL Server 2012 Analysis services in Tabular mode and connected to Oracle Database and while importing, I'm getting below error after importing some rows.

Hi, I got a problem. I installed Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 version. And I created a Compact database. I created an connection in SSMSE to connect the database and opened a query form. then, i run the following sql:
Select * from Table1
It returned 3 records to me. After that, I used program to insert record into this table. Then i ran this sql again, it still show me 3 records. I closed the query form, and re-created a new query form, then run the sql, it returned 4 records to me.
Why? It's very strange and difficult to operate, right? Is there anyone know how to make the SSMSE to return whole records without any close query form and re-create query form operation?
I have attached the results of checking an Update sproc in the Sql database, within VSS, for a misbehaving SqlDataSource control in an asp.net web application, that keeps telling me that I have too many aurguments in my sproc compared to what's defined for parameters in my SQLdatasource control.....

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below. I have gone through the page code with a fine tooth comb as well as the sproc itself. I have tried everything I can think of, including creating a new page and resetting the fields, in case something got broken that I can't see. Does anyone have any tips or tricks or info that might help me?
I'm sorta new with using stored procedures and I'm at a loss of how to achieve my desired result.
What I am trying to do is retrieve a value from a table before it is updated and then use this original value to update another table. If I execute the first called sproc in query analyzer it does return the value I'm looking for, but I'm not really sure how to capture the returned value. Also, is there a more direct way to do this?
Thanks, Peggy
Sproc that is called from ASP.NET:

GetCityID and GetStateID are two stored procs, how do I execute those two stored procs in the above stored proc? I mean what is the syntax??
I have a table in which one of the column name is "NAME". I have to write query in which column is not null and if there is something then check for 'trust' or 'trustee' in the string. and if found don't pull that record. skip it
HiI'm looking to return rows from a table where a column is LIKE a keyword. This is my current code:SELECT DISTINCT business_name FROM Table WHERE business_name LIKE @keyword + '%' ORDER BY business_name ASCThe problem with this is that if a business is called "The White Ship Inn", and the keyword to match is "White Ship" it will not match. If i put another wild card in front of @keyword then this finds too many matches - i need it to match against columns which either start with the keyword, or have a whitespace in front of them. Is there some kind of T-Sql i can use or will i have to go down the regex route (using this (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/mcpp/xpregex.aspx)) ?cheers
Does SqlServer support Regular expression? I want to know if it's avilable or not... And if it's not available, I want to know any other efficient way to validate string.. manipulating Regular expression style validation.
I need to remove all the [ and ] in every sql stmt where they are usedto close encircling numeric value, fyi, all these sql stmt areconverted from an Access db. For instance,select *from XYZtblwhere fieldA = [1] or fieldA = [2] or fieldA = [3]to beselect *from XYZtblwhere fieldA = 1 or fieldA = 2 or fieldA = 3-- and of course I'd have written in as follows, but that's not-- the pointselect *from XYZtblwhere fieldA IN (1,2,3)Thanks.
A developer I need to support believes that the Enterprise Edition is required to take advantage of a dual processor Compaq ProLiant 3000. This machine is not a quad box, just a standard MPS architecture with a single CPU installed.
I recall that the standard SQL 6.5 build will fully utilize a standard MPS DP system and that Enterprise is required only for 4-way, 8-way and n-way boxes such as the Tandems.
I am try to build a query which only matches whole words and so far I've got this.
Code:
SELECT * FROM tblSearchWords WHERE CorrectSpelling LIKE '%[^a-zA-Z0-9]blah[^a-zA-Z0-9]%'
This will return rows which contain the string 'blah' without any numeric or alphanumeric characters beside it. However it doesn't return the rows where 'blah' is either at the start or end of the string as it expects any character except a-zA-Z0-0.
Is there any way to accept string when there is nothing on either side as well?
I have a crappy old database that has an email field with a lot of bad data, and I need to use SSIS to extract a list of names & email addresses.
I have an OLE DB Source set up to pull the relevant columns out of the database. Is there a way that I could setup a Regular Expression based filter to disregard any rows where my email Regex does not match the value of the email column?
Hi,I'm not a big friend of MSSQL, but I have to do one query I've done formySQL.But I don't know how...I have to select 'user' from 'db' where first letter is E or N, second is Bor 0 and after that there are 6 or 7 digits I know.How can I do that?In mySQL it would be something like:SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `account` regexp '^[EN][B0]123456$' ORDER BY`Id`;Thanks in advance,Martin
I am trying to exclude all strings that has 'a' inside (I havesimplified the actual problem)select 1where 'bb b a dfg' like '%[^a]%'However, the above does not work. By the way, I can not use 'not like'such as:select 1where 'bb b a dfg' not like '%a%'Although the above will work but the idea is that I have to use 'like'and not 'not like'. This is partly because I have to exclude rows froman exclusion table (a table that has many rows that will be excluded).Actually I want to include all srings that has lets say // in it usinga regular expression. I would like to write it as (I am sure it willnot work):select 1where column like '%[^/][^/]%'That should exclude strings like: 'aaa // aa aa' or 'bb bbb // bb' etcand include strings like: 'aaa aa aa' or 'bb aa nn' etcIs there any way to write a regular expression to do it? Otherrwise Ihave to solve this problem without using regular expressions in theexclusion table.Thanks.
I have a table which stores a big chunk of html text, which I have to search for and replace some strings. How can I write a query that makes use of regular expressions to do the following:
Below is a block of example text ====================================================================== " src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10> <img height=10 alt="" src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blind%2010x10.gif?OpenImageResource" width=10><img height=11 alt="" http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/blablablabla?OpenDocument src="http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.ns http://aaaa/bbbb/cccc.nsf/d8d4f0dfa09ba71142256cc50040ee51/ee9b4493dac727be422571c30027df61? OpenDocument" target=_self>
Now I want to search and replace the string that is highlighted in red with something like "FOUND" The below string is what I want to search for - I will used PATINDEX on the string below to find the start index of the string in the body, and then I will add on 114 to the when doing a replace:
what would the regular expression be and how does one type it in the query? I tried something like the below but it does not work, please advise ..... [a-z][0-9]{32} %/% [a-z][0-9]{32}
i wrote a little function that is basically supposed to give me a match of a regular expression in C#. i tested it out in VS05 and it seems to work fine. It hits the fan when i try it on SQL Query analyzer once deployed. Anyone have any idea why?
here is the C# class that I deploy to a db using VS05.
Basically i have a teststring that looks like abc_xxx_nnndef. xxx and nn are both numbers, and im using the pattern _\d{3}_ to test it out in SQL (i need the numbers between '_' and '_'). But it never even proceeds past the if statement in SQL i think. here is the basic SQL that i use to test the above function:
use northwind
go
declare @teststring varchar(50),
@pattern varchar(10),
@out varchar(50)
set @teststring = 'dw_012_34.ext'
set @pattern = '_\d{3}_'
set @out = dbo.RegExMatch(@pattern, @teststring )
select @teststring
select @pattern
select @out
Anyone have any suggestions as to why it works in VS 05 when I use it in a C# program, but fails on the SQL version?
HiI have a large table with allot of data in it, Im trying to find the correct SQL statement to select all the records that do not start with a letter or a number.So some records may start with a '~' and a few '$' and even some '?'. So I would like a statement that would select all of these while leaving out any records that start with anything else, such as numbers or letters.And on a similar theme, Im also trying to select all records that start with a number. Ive been using the "select blah from blah where LIKE 'a%'" for each letter and ive tried to have a play and search around that statement.... Today I was told to use a regex within my 'SELECT' statement, but I had never heard of this being done before... so I done a number of searches on Google and although I found references, I didnt actually find any examples. So when I tried to put something together I kept getting errors. Ive used regular expressions before so theres no problem writing the expression that I need, however Ive no idea how to implement it into a SELECT statement.
If someone could please show me an example of the structure/syntax of an sql select query that contains a regex then I would be most appreciative! :)
I don't like the fact that any user I create has access to system tables inthe Master databases and the ability to issue 'sp_who' plus God knows whatother system stored procs.Is there a white paper or a script to lock down a user so that they do nothave this broad access without breaking their regular ability to run theirown queries against their own databases? I would like them to be a regularuser without the ability to snoop around in my SQL Server.--John Dalberg
Is it possible to use the REPLACE function in SQL Server 2000 so thatit returns a string containing only alpha-numeric characters (muchlike using regular expressions)?Thank you in advance for any suggestion.Darren.
I have as csv-file wich I import into an SQL Server table. Now I want to do some checks on it. I use a conditional split to direct data to the other tables (1 table for the correct data, 1 table for the rejected data).
Is it possible to use a regular expression in a case in a conditional split to check if a columns has the right format?
Someone posted on a thread that you can use VB (or C#) to write Regular Expressions for SQL Server 2005. I know how to write RegEx in VB, so can someone point me to a reference which explains how to use them in / with SQL2005? Or, can someone explain how?
Hello everyone I'm new with Reporting services, so my problem is that i want to show what filter the user enter exemple : Data between 12/1/2007 and 4/20/2008
