Hi everybody,
I would like to use MatLab built-in statistical functions (beta, gamma, normal, etc.) from inside a SQLServer stored proceudre. Does anyone know if possible? (Of course, If so, where can I get documentation for doing this?)
Thanks in advance!

Hi
I am trying to build a tree similar to the one in SQL Server Management Studio for the system functions in the SQL language.
I would like to group them by type (e.g. string functions) and display information about the parameters and return types, etc.
Is there a way to get these programmatically? I would like to avoid typing them out by hand.
Thanks
Chris
Hi,
I want to use functions like Standard Deviation, Variance, and other forms of these (StdDevp, Varp) but am not clear about what these really do. All I know is that if I am clear about these functions, I can really put these to good use. BTW, maybe there are many more functions in addition to the one's that I have listed??
Can you kindly assist me with a mini example in understanding what these functions do?
Suppose I have the Total and Average of orders. How can these functions be put to use? Kindly help me out if you can come up with a better example.
I'll be grateful for your help.
Many TIA.
Somewhere i read..that in SQL Server...usage of Built-in Functions on Columns, makes query optimizer to ignore indexes on that column...!
So lets say we have table EMP with Emp_id and Emp_Name....
Also we have Non-Clustered index on Emp_Name.
So following query would NOT use Non-Clustered index on Emp_Name column.
SELECTLEFT(emp_name, 3) as emp3
FROMdbo.EMP
Is this true? i am using SQL Server 2008.
Okay, so I have a problem and I would be REALLY grateful for anyassistance anyone can offer because I have found little or no help onthe web anywhere.I want to access and do joins between tables in two different SQL db'son the same server. Heres what Im dealing with.In one database resides all of my security features for our clients,where it decides who can login, etc etc....In another database, I need to cross reference with a few fields in mysecurity db.See the issue Im running into here is that because the way the peoplehave their databases set up for different products, I would normallyhave to put these tables with security features in every database...which is horrible, because every time I do an update I would have todo it in 12 different places. Thats not efficient at all.So I thought if I had one central DB, where all security features arecontrolled from, that would be perfect... now the issue is crossreferencing and doing joins with other tables that ARENT in the samedb....have I lost you yet?I appreciate all of your help!THANKS!!

Hi,
Please help me in this problem...
i am new to sql server..
i am using sql server version 8...(doesnot support function with retun values..)
so i have created a procedure...

[code]
create proc next_Monday ( @myDate DATETIME )
as
BEGIN
set @myDate = dateadd(mm, 6, @myDate)
while datepart(dw,@myDate) <> 2
begin
set @myDate = dateadd(dd, 1, @myDate)
end
select @myDate
end
go
[/code]
--------------------------------------------------------
i can able to execute this procedure separately.... working well...
but don't know how to call it inside another query....
the following throws error....
select smaster.sname, smaster.Datex, 'xxx'=(execute next_monday smaster.Datex) from smaster
please help me... how to fix this problem...
Hi all - I'm trying to optimized my stored procedures to be a bit easier to maintain, and am sure this is possible, not am very unclear on the syntax to doing this correctly. For example, I have a simple stored procedure that takes a string as a parameter, and returns its resolved index that corresponds to a record in my database. ie
exec dbo.DeriveStatusID 'Created'
returns an int value as 1
(performed by "SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName= 'Created')
but I also have a second stored procedure that needs to make reference to this procedure first, in order to resolve an id - ie:
exec dbo.AddProduct_Insert 'widget1'
which currently performs:SET @statusID = (SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName='Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID)
I want to simply the insert to perform (in one sproc):
SET @statusID = EXEC deriveStatusID ('Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID)
This works fine if I call this stored procedure in code first, then pass it to the second stored procedure, but NOT if it is reference in the second stored procedure directly (I end up with an empty value for @statusID in this example).
My actual "Insert" stored procedures are far more complicated, but I am working towards lightening the business logic in my application ( it shouldn't have to pre-vet the data prior to executing a valid insert).
Hopefully this makes some sense - it doesn't seem right to me that this is impossible, and am fairly sure I'm just missing some simple syntax - can anyone assist?
Just wonder whether is there any indicator or system parameters that can indicate whether stored procedure A is executed inside query analyzer or executed inside application itself so that if execution is done inside query analyzer then i can block it from being executed/retrieve sensitive data from it?
What i'm want to do is to block someone executing stored procedure using query analyzer and retrieve its sensitive results.
Stored procedure A has been granted execution for public user but inside application, it will prompt access denied message if particular user has no rights to use system although knew public user name and password. Because there is second layer of user validation inside system application.
However inside query analyzer, there is no way control execution of stored procedure A it as user knew the public user name and password.
Looking forward for replies from expert here. Thanks in advance.
Note: Hope my explaination here clearly describe my current problems.
I am using MS SQL Server Management Studio version 10.50. Some built-in functions are missing, such as LAST_VALUE and IIF. Where can I get those?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWe have a sort of complex user structure in the sense that depending on the type of user the data resides in different tables. Therefor I needed a stored procedure that finds out what table to look for a certain column in. Below is such a stored procedure and it works like it should but my problem is that I don't know how to retrieve the result (which should be a string so can't use RETURN).
I've tried using an OUTPUT variable but since I just run EXEC (@statement) in the end I can't really set an output variable the common way (as in EXEC @outputVariable = PMC_User_GetUserValue(arg1, arg2..)) or can I?
I have also tried to use SELECT to catch the result somehow but no luck and Google didn't help either so now I'm hoping for one of you... Notice that you don't have to bother about much of the code except for the end of it where I want it to return somehow or figure out a way to call this stored procedure and retrieve the result.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,I came across the below SQLServer stored procedure, I understand that it manipulates some XML data, but am not sure what it does.. Could any one pls explain me on the below procedure, Also, i do not see 'values' clause in the insert statement in the below procedure, is it valid to use in this way? (as per the syntax, 'values' clause is NOT optional)CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[OM_addObjData] @xml_Doc_sample varchar(max),@objID intASBEGIN--set @xml_Doc_sample = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><ArrayOfEXEData xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><EXEData><EXEName>exeName</EXEName><EXECommand>exeCommand</EXECommand></EXEData></ArrayOfEXEData>'declare @docIdx intEXECUTE sp_xml_preparedocument @docIdx OUTPUT, @xml_Doc_sampleinsert into OM_EXEselect @objID, exeName, exeCommand, IdEXE, EXEFrom OPENXML(@docIdx, N'/ArrayOfEXEData/EXEData', 2) With OM_EXEEXECUTE sp_xml_removedocument @docIdx ENDThanks in Advance,Shefali Mihir

i'm wondering if i can use one stored procedure in too cases, this is the senario:
i have stored procedure for admin and another one for user, they have the same select everything is the same except that in admin SP i have where @admin = admin and for user i have where @user = user
if there a way to use if and else to make this happen
this is what i did so far:
CREATE PROCEDURE [test] @admin INT, @user INT, @indexType INT as
if @indexType = 1
begin
SELECT * FROM table WHERE something IN (SELECT * FROM anothertable where admin = @admin)
end
else
begin
SELECT * FROM table WHERE user = @user
end
GO
any suggestion will be very helpful
thanks
I want to execute some insert statements within a stored procedure and commit those changes regardless of any raiseerror that occurs later in the stored procedure. My difficulty is that I am forced to use raiseerror with severity 16 in order to send a message through the powerbuilder application interface (compiled vendor code). I have tried save points but can't get that to save my insert and still present an error to the user about something else that happens later.
here is an example
BEGIN procedure
Insert something and save it even if error is raised below
RaiseError('you made a mistake and need to do this.',16,-1)
END procedure
Hi folks
I nead to call a stored procedure in a where statemene, but MSSQL dont like that.
My problem is that the StoredProcedure is calling itself recursive and therfore its impossible to add the code as a standard SELECT statement. Here is the code
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.advsp_FilterRecordRights
@RequesterGUID Char(20),
@EntityGUID Char(20)
AS
BEGIN
if not Exists(Select *
from GUIDRightsH
where GUIDRightsH.EntityGUID = @EntityGUID and
GUIDRightsH.RequesterGUID = @RequesterGUID and
GUIDRightsH.RecProp <> 0)
Begin
Return 1
end
if not Exists(Select *
from UsergroupMembers
where UserGroupMembers.UsergroupGUID = @RequesterGUID and
dbo.advsp_FilterRecordRights(UserGroupMembers.UserGUID,@EntityGUID) = 1)
Begin
Return 1
end
Return 0

I have a list of articles stored in my sqlserver 2000 db. To get all the articles I have a stored procedure which just contains a simple select statement. When a user click to download an article, I want to increase the download count. I can do this with a separate stored procedure with an insert statement and passing in the document id, but I'm sure I could do it within one stored procedure, just not sure how. This is my current sp for getting the articles.CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_GetArticles] ASSELECT [DocumentID], [Title], [Description], [Downloads], [UploadDate], [Filesize] FROM Documents WHERE CategoryID = 1

My question is :
Why we are using udf inside stored procedures ?
Will it make any performance faster for the stored procedure to execute ?

Problem: Have to call SPs reside in 2 SQL server DBs which will return the table information, need to merge and perform sort the result and return the final result set. this is something like wrapper SP calling other SPs asynchronoulsy.
Can this be possible in SP / SQL functions to make asynchronous calls?
If yes can you please guide me to achive this.
If no, any alternative approach, or the reason why.

Basically I have two strings. Both strings will contain similar data because the 2nd string is the first string after an update of the first string takes place. Both strings are returned in my Stored Procedure
For example:String1 = "Here is some data. lets type some more data"String2 = "Here's some data. Lets type some data here"I would want to change string2 (inside my Stored Procedure) to show the changed/added text highlighted and the deleted text with a strike though.
So I would want string2 to look like thisstring2 = "Here<font color = "#00FF00">'s</font> <strike>is</strike> some data. <font color = "#00FF00">L</font>ets type some <strike>more</strike> data <font color = "#00FF00">here</font>"
Is there an way to accomplish this inside a stored procedure?

Hi Folks!
I have a cursor inside a stored procedure that should identify rows based on certain criteria and update the columns on those records.
While I try to do so, the cursor goes into an infinite loop although I have only 1 record that matches my criteria. I think that the transaction is not commited and the cursor is picking up the same record for update.
Here is my sample record in table :tblMsg
SenderRef <space> MsgStatusId <space> MsgType <space>Groupid
1281341<space> 1 <space>KBC-NON-ETC-MATCHED-BLIM <space>191902
1281341 <space>18 <space>KBC-RCVD-ADM <space>191902<space>
and here is my code.
CREATE PROCEDURE msg_ResolveADMBeforeBlim
AS
DECLARE @blimGroupId AS INT
DECLARE @admSenderRef AS VARCHAR(50)
DECLARE admCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT senderref
FROMtblMsg
WHERE msgstatusid = 18
AND msgtype = 'KBC-RCVD-ADM'
FOR UPDATE
OPEN admCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM admCursor INTO @admSenderRef
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
--FIND CORRESPONDING BLIM RECORD AND GRAB ITS GROUPID TO UPDATE THE ADM
SELECT @blimGroupId = GroupID
FROM tblMsg
WHERE msgType = 'KBC-NON-ETC-MATCHED-BLIM'
AND SenderRef = @admSenderRef
PRINT 'AFTER SELECT INSIDE WHILE: Senderref- >' + @admSenderRef;
--UPDATE THE ADM RECORD WITH THE GROUPID AND MSGSTATUS = 3
BEGIN
UPDATE tblMsg
SET MsgStatusId = 3, GroupId = @blimGroupId
WHERE CURRENT OF admCursor
END
PRINT 'AFTER UPDATE INSIDE WHILE';
END
CLOSE admCursor
DEALLOCATEadmCursor
The update statement was included beteween a BEGIN TRAN and END TRAN. But no joy.
Any ideas why this would happen?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I have to write a stored procedure what repair a table.
It have to delete lost rows before make relation to itself (PK column is 'Kw_KeywordID', FK column is 'Kw_ParentID').
I do not found the way to write this procedure to can create statement from parameter of the procedure.
I would like to pass the table name, but I receive error if the query like 'Select ... Form @Table ....'.
If the parameter is in the 'WHERE', nothing problem.
My procedure is:
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_Repair_IS_KW_AbtKz176
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
declare @OrphanRowCount int
select @OrphanRowCount = 1
while(@OrphanRowCount > 0)
begin
DECLARE KWCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT count(*) AS cRowCount FROM IS_KW_AbtKz176 WHERE Kw_ParentID IS NOT NULL AND Kw_ParentID NOT IN (SELECT Kw_KeywordID FROM IS_KW_AbtKz176);
OPEN KWCursor;
FETCH NEXT FROM KWCursor INTO @OrphanRowCount
CLOSE KWCursor
DEALLOCATE KWCursor
IF (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0) AND (@OrphanRowCount > 0)
BEGIN
exec('DELETE FROM IS_KW_AbtKz176 WHERE Kw_ParentID IS NOT NULL AND Kw_ParentID NOT IN (SELECT Kw_KeywordID FROM IS_KW_AbtKz176)')
END
end
END
GO
How can I run fully parameterized queries from an SP.
I can make it only like exec('DELETE FROM' + @TableName + ...)
Thank you for any idea,
Imre
