I have defined a user defined data type. When I try to create a stored procedure specifying the column and user define data tpye I receive message
Server: Msg 2715, Level 16, State 3, Procedure spStoredproc, Line 0
Column or parameter #1: Cannot find data type udtcol1.
Server: Msg 2715, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spStoredproc, Line 0
Column or parameter #2: Cannot find data type udtcol2.
Server: Msg 2715, Level 16, State 1, Procedure spStoredproc, Line 0
Column or parameter #3: Cannot find data type udtcol3
Can you have user defined data types in stored procedures.

Is there a way to change the physical mapping of a user defined data type to the physical SQL Server datatype. It seems that once you create them, it is just about impossible to change it.
Hi all,I defined unsigned_int in my database, which uses unsigned_int_rangerule. The unsigned_int_range rule is defined as follows:@unsigned_int >=0 and @unsigned_int <=4294967295(4294967295 = 0xFFFFFFFF)The storage size is 4 bytes.One of the tables in the database contains a field that is of typeunsigned_int.When I try to add a new record into the table (ex: using the EnterpriseManager), it always fails in the unsigned_int field if I enter a valuegreater than 2147483647 (which is 0x7FFFFFFF) all the way to 4294967295(0xFFFFFFFF). The Enterprise Manager shows the following message:"The value you entered is not consistent with the data type orlength of the column, or over grid buffer limit."What is wrong here? The 4-byte storage should be good for any valuefrom 0 to 4294967295.Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Ken
Does anybody know an easy way to change User Defined Data Types ownership to “dbo”, without dropping dependent objects?
I know that there is a st. proc sp_changeobject owner, but it does not deal with this particular db objects. Is there a similar st.procedure or script that would do the same operation?
We have a database that originally had all objects owned by a vendor id. We are in the process of changing the ownership to 'dbo' and wish to remove the vendor id but have found there are a few user defined datatypes that are also owned by this vendor id. How can I change the ownership of them to 'dbo'? They are currently being used in some of the tables. I tried the sp_changeobjectowner but that doesn't work for these.
I have a table RequestUtility with 3 columns Vendor, name, system. I want to call this table from BizTalk so that I send multiple vendors and will get corresponding Vendor, name and system for that. As I need to send multiple vendors at the same time I have created a User-Defined Table type VendorNames with a single column Names. and have written a SP :
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetName]  -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here  @vendorN VendorNames ReadOnly AS  -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from  -- interfering with SELECT statements.  SET NOCOUNT ON;    -- Select statements for procedure here  SELECT * from dbo.RequestUtility where Vendor IN (SELECT Names from @vendorN)
This is working fine when the value for vendor is present in the table. But if the value is not present it is not returning any thing. But, my requirement is that for example vendor is Dummy which is not present in the table so it should return
I have a requirement of creating nested tables in SQL server. how to create them. Just to give a background I am trying to move the RDBMS from oracle to SQL server.
Structure of tables is as follows. I have table 'Employees' with address as one of the column. I have one more table with columns Street, Town, Dist, State. When I query the table 'Employees' I should see the attribute name and values of all the columns in address table in address column.
Employees: with columns: ID, FirstName, LastName, dept, gender, dob, address
Address (Nested table): with columns : Street, Town, Dist, State
This was done in oracle using Nested tables and user defined data types. what is alternative for this in SQL server. How can I achive this requirement in SQL server.
Running into a brain problem here. I remeber reading an article a while back (2002?) on either Visual Studio Magazine or MSDN Magazine where there was a way to generate Stored Procedures from User Defined Functions. I need this information in order to do my job as it is also a way to cut down on time for this project I am trying to finish. Does anyone have the code or remeber what I am talking about. I just finished Kathleen Dollards article again on using XSLT to generate code but would really like to use the User Defined Functions.
I searched for the article on line but came up dry. Searched through all my magazines but could not find the article. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bit of topic I guess but still relevant to the board.
One advantage that I can see withh UDFs is that they are a bit a Views with parameters. You can perform joins on UDF columns (which you cannot do with a Stored Proc). You can do the same with Views but UDFs have the advantage that you restrict the number of rows with a parameterised WHERE (or HAVING) clause.
Hi to all, Can any body tell me what is the difference between Stored procedures and User Defined Functions ? In my assumption Function return a value or table, but SP doesn't return value instead of that SP use select statement or assign value to output statement. This is right?
I am able to use user data types for creating local temporally tables in store procedures, but I receive an error at run-time about the user data type.
Msg 2715, Level 16, State 7, Procedure SP_SAMPLE_TEST, Line 4 Column, parameter, or variable #1: Cannot find data type D_ORDER_NUMBER.
The same user data type is used as parameters in several other store procedures, and they work perfect. It is also used in several table definitions.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance to any one who can help me with this problem.
I've been doing some reading on UDT's and have a question...
It was suggested in one of the pieces I read that you could create a UDT for, in their example, cities. And every table that had a reference to city could share this datatype. Now, my initial thought was "wow, what a great idea! I wouldn't have to remember the exact datatype for my primary keys (was it a char(5) or char(6)?) and have a "central depository" for my key datatypes.
So the first question is; what are the disadvantages of such a design?
And the second is; How do you update a UDT? If business requirements change and udt_city needs to be changed from varchar(30) to varchar(60), for example, what would be the way of echoing the change thoughout your database?
My gut reaction for the answers are 1) performance will decrease as effectively the dbms has to "parse" every insert/update to a UDT field in a different method.
2) create a new udt and alter any tables referencing the old one before dropping it.
Iam trying to create a geo-database. For that i need to have a spatial data type called polygon which takes in values as int. so it can be declared as: POLYGON(0 0, 100 0, 100 100, 0 100, 0 0)
How do i do that. plz help.

I have a question about creating a user defined type: I'd like to create a table of employee objects which include objects of the type employee_t. I used this structure before in Oracle 9i and would like to know how it can be done with MS SQL Server 2000 or 2005, preferably with Enteprise Manager/Management Studio. Below is an example.
CREATE TYPE employee_t AS OBJECT ( name VARCHAR(10) jobDesc VARCHAR(15) ... )
The fields fltValorPendente e fltTotal are of this type. Field intSinal is an Integer.
I execute the following query: SELECT (intSinal * fltValorPendente) / fltTotal as Coef, cast((intSinal * fltValorPendente) as decimal(21,6)) / fltTotal as CoefCast into tmp FROM tbl Where fltTotal<>0
As a result, table tmp is created with the following structure: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp]( [Coef] [decimal](38, 6) NULL, [CoefCast] [decimal](38, 17) NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
How come both fields don't get the same precision?
I have a very simple SQL Server 2005 database, nothing fancy except that I use user-defined types (e.g., udt_Name = varchar(20)). I just set up a login for my first user, using Windows authentication, and gave her the following database access:
default schema = dbo
role = db_datareader
role = db_datawriter
Using SQL Server Management Studio, she can open any table; however, every column that is defined with a user-defined type appears with generic column headings (Expr1, Expr2 etc). And when she opens a table in design view, all columns with user-defined types have their Data Type field listed as "invalid type" rather than, say "udt_Name:varchar(20)". I browsed to the "User-defined Data Types" entry in Object Explorer, and it was empty.
In other words, it appears that she is unable to access the user-defined type aliases, even though she has read/write access to the database. As a very temporary work-around, I gave her membership in the database role "db_owner", but this is obviously not an ideal solution.
User-defined types are a great organizing tool and I don't want to have to redefine all my tables without them. What are my options?
I'm wondering, why CLR user-defined-types are case-sensitive in T-SQL?
When I create an udt with vb.net, e.g. udtPoint with properties X and Y and a method ToString(), I have to write udtPoint.X ..., udtPoint.x would raise an error. udtPoint.tostring() isn't working, too.
I like vb, because you don't have to remember whether syntax is upper or lower case. Same is with T-SQL, there's no difference between select * from table and Select * FROM Table. Intellisense would by great, but is not yet implemented .
I'd like to put this topic under suggestions (in my opinon it's a bug), what do you think about it?
I'm need to use typed Dataset with CLR UDT, but when I'm trying to create TableAdapter in Dataset designer, I'm gettng error message: User-defined data types are not supported in DataSet designer

I have several stored procedures with parameters that are defined withuser defined data types. The time it takes to run the procedures cantake 10 - 50 seconds depending on the procedure.If I change the parameter data types to the actual data type such asvarchar(10), etc., the stored procedure takes less that a second toreturn records. The user defined types are mostly varchar, but someothers such as int. They are all input type parameters.Any ideas on why the stored procedure would run much faster if notusing user defined types?Using SQL Server 2000.Thanks,DW
I'm trying to import some data from an Excel 2007 file into a SQL table. I created the Source Connection Manager and an OLE DB Source Data Flow Component which uses it. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't use the Excel Source because of the version of Excel the file is saved in.) The outgoing Data Flow Path thinks some of the fields being imported should be of type float, when in fact they have alpha characters in them.
The fields in the database are defined as varchars.
A Data Conversion Transform doesn't seem right because I need the data to come out of the source as string data (which it actually is in the Excel file). Even if I convert it to string on the way to the destination, I would still be missing the original alpha characters.
How/Where do I change it (Source Connect Manager, OLE DB Source Data Flow Component, something else) to correctly identify the field's type?
This question is around how we can get the data types and lengths populated into the flat file source columns.
In Connection Manager, you have your flat file defined. You can choose "Suggest Types...", and the minimum lengths and correct data types will be returned from within the data in the flat file.
Is there some way to automate this data type definition, but coming from the other direction (coming from the destination table that we are loading)?
For example, you have mapped the columns that will be loaded. Can you then reverse engineer the data types and lengths for the columns in the flat file from the destination table?
Then in any stored procedure that I have I would like to do something like:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbp].[sp_AddNew] INCLUDE "macro_def.m" BEGIN insert into tablex (name,number) values ("text",_retcode(_INSERT)) END GO
Questions: What is the syntax in the SP to inlude a file like macro_def.m ? Where do I save the macro_def.m file ? Do I need to include a path in the INCLUDE statement ?
Sorry if I haven't choose appropriate forum for this question.
I have MSSQL05 beta. I know how to list all stored procedures in selected database (everything is in localhost). I need to list parameter names and types for selected stored procedure(s). How can I do that or anything that can return parameter names and types?
