Using Stored Procedures To Set The Default Value Or Binding Of A Table Column

Nov 24, 2007

I want to be able to have an authorized person set or change the default values of a table column in a SQL Database. I have a stored procedure that sets the default which works fine: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[addMyConst]
AS
BEGIN
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1]
ADD DEFAULT 70 FOR [Auto_ourlim]
END

(I still need to put parameters in so that I can run the stored procedure from a form, but for now....)


 To change it I know that I have to drop the constraint first like this:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[dropmyValue]
AS
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[tbl1]
DROP CONSTRAINT [Auto_ourlim] 

The problem is that when I execute the procedure I get the error that "Auto_ourlim" is not a constraint so it does not drop the Default Value. When I go over to SQL Server Management Studio Express I can see why:

If I open up the table and open up the Constraints the constraint is "DF__tbl1__Auto_ourli__5FB337D6". I could change the DROP CONSTRAINT to this, and that works, but it changes every time I add the new DEFAULT VALUE.  I don't know how to get around it. Is there a way to put wildcards around "Auto_our" in DROP CONSTRAINT [Auto_ourlim}? Any suggestions would be welcome...even if there's a totally different way to do it.

What I'm trying to ultimately accomplish is this: Column1 (AutoLimits) would be user insert to the database and then in the database it would MINUS Column2 (Auto_ourlim - set with the default value) = Column3 (Difference - a computed field in the database)

Parameter Passing - Table Name & Column Name In Stored Procedures

Mar 9, 2001

How can a Stored Procedure use a variable table name and column name ?

The statement :-

SELECT @columnname FROM @tablename

gives error "Line 5: Incorrect syntax near '@tablename'."

I am passing the parameters 'tablename' and 'columnname' into the stored procedure, (in order to select a variable column from a variable table).

If I hard-code the tablename, then I get a column of output with just the name of the column I was trying to list, e.g. surname,

i.e. SELECT @columnname FROM employeetable gives :-

surname
surname
surname
surname
surname
surname


How can I get the procedure to accept a variable table name and column name ?


I thought one way to do it would be to use the 'EXEC' statement :-

SELECT @sql = 'SELECT '+ @columnname +' FROM '+@tablename
EXEC(@sql)

but this gives error : "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM' "

although the following table works :-

SELECT @sql = 'SELECT surname FROM '+@tablename
EXEC(@sql)

The problem seems to be mainly with variable column names.

Also, we don't really want to use the EXEC statement because it will not be compiled and will be slower. (Does anyone know by how much slower ?)


Any advice would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Ian.

Binding A DataSource Table Column To A Form Object (RadioButtons)

Oct 25, 2006

Hi,

  I have a little question.  I have an application which interfaces with a SQL Express Database.   On a form, I want to bind a control which is made of several Radio buttons to a table column which is in fact a varchar(1).  This is the picture:

        Table column:  OptVisualRpt  varchar(1)

        Screen control:  2 radio buttons

                                    rb_VisRPTbImp_O    for "yes"

                                    rb_VisRPTbImp_N    for "no"

 

  I'm really scratching my head as how I can bind a single table column to my radio buttons controls.   I think that I just can't this way but rather have to use an intermediate variable or control. 

Solution 1?

 I thought of using a local variable that I would set to "y" or "n" following "CheckedChanged" events fired from radio buttons but I don't know how to bind this variable to my table column.                 

Solution 2?

  I thought of placing a hidden text control into my form, which one would be binded to my table column, that I would also set to "y" or "n" following "CheckedChanged" events fired from radio buttons.

Any of these solutions which would be feasible or any more neat way to do it?

Many thanks in advance,

Stéphane

((0)) Set As Default Value Or Binding For An Int Data Type

Jun 5, 2007

Hi there,



I'm trying to set an int type attribute to 0 for its Default Value, but it keeps reverting to ((0)). What is causing this?



Every int type attribute on that table does the same. There is one bit type attribute and a bunch of other type of attributes, but non of them are giving me a problem. The table is a copy from another database and I did check all the constraints and properties to make sure they're the same.



Thank you,

Table Column Default

Sep 19, 2006

Hello all,

I have a table with a column:
ThruDate datetime not null

I have a function call set up as default for the col
([dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]())


I have a stored procedure that inserts into the table - it expects @ThruDate as a parm. I default the parm to NULL -

When the sp executes its insert stmt i get error 515 (null cannot be inserted....).
When i just enter the row manually in enterprise manger (and just tab through the ThruDate col) all is well - ThruDate gets the default as calculated by function [dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]()

Why does the sp fail - i.e. why isn't the default applied?

thanks

SQL Server 2012 :: Stored Procedures Compiles Even When There Is No CREATE TABLE For A Temp Table

Feb 11, 2015

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

INSERT INTO #tmp(dt)
SELECT GETDATE()

Table Names In Stored Procedures As String Variables And Temporary Table Question

Apr 10, 2008

How do I use table names stored in variables in stored procedures?




Code Snippetif (select count(*) from @tablename) = 0 or (select count(*) from @tablename) = 1000000





I receive the error 'must declare table variable '@tablename''

I've looked into table variables and they are not what I would require to accomplish what is needed.
After browsing through the forums I believe I need to use dynamic sql particuarly involving sp_executesql. However, I am pretty new at sql and do not really understand how to use this and receive an output parameter from it(msdn kind of confuses me too). I am tryin got receive an integer count of the records from a certain table which can change to anything depending on what the user requires.




Code Snippet

if exists(Select * from sysobjects where name = @temptablename)
drop table @temptablename




It does not like the 'drop table @temptablename' part here. This probably wouldn't be an issue if I could get temporary tables to work, however when I use temporary tables i get invalid object '#temptable'.

Heres what the stored procedure does.
I duplicate a table that is going to be modified by using 'select into temptable'
I add the records required using 'Insert into temptable(Columns) Select(Columns)f rom TableA'
then I truncate the original table that is being modified and insert the temporary table into the original.

Heres the actual SQL query that produces the temporary table error.




Code Snippet
Select * into #temptableabcd from TableA

Insert into #temptableabcd(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
SELECT ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(ABC_01) as 'Field_01', Sum(ABC_02) as 'Field_02',
FROM TableB
where ColumnB = 003860
Group By ColumnA, ColumnB

TRUNCATE TABLE TableA

Insert into TableA(ColumnA, ColumnB,Field_01, Field_02)
Select ColumnA, ColumnB, Sum(Field_01) as 'Field_01', Sum('Field_02) as 'Field_02',
From #temptableabcd
Group by ColumnA, ColumnB




The above coding produces

Msg 208, Level 16, State 0, Line 1

Invalid object name '#temptableabcd'.

Why does this seem to work when I use an actual table? With an actual table the SQL runs smoothly, however that creates the table names as a variable problem from above. Is there certain limitation with temporary tables in stored procedures? How would I get the temporary table to work in this case if possible?

Thanks for the help.

Problem Binding Lisbox Value With The Database Column?

Jan 30, 2008

 Hello Friends..I m using vwd 2005 express along with sql express.I have a web form with different server controls like textboxes, labels, radiobuttons, listboxes etc.lets focus on listbox. 1..For example lets say,ListBox contains 5 email addresses of the user.  
Now my main problem is when i submit my webform,all my data from
textboxes, radiobuttons etc gets stored into the sqldatabase.   But the data from my ListBox doesnot get stored into the database.   But when i manually select a single email address from the listbox the email address in this case gets saved in the database.  
But as soon as i choose multiple email address then in this case only
the first email address only gets saved but not the rest.   How to over come this problem? I have a  column named "email" in my table in the database.   Can some one explain me this with the code(C#)..  2..And my 2nd question is i dont want to manually select the data from the listbox so that it gets saved into the database.    I want all the email address in the Listbox gets automatically selected as soon as i click on the save button at     the end of my web form.   
   Any idea on how to approach this,friends?   Thanks..

SQL 2000 View Has Column Binding Errors

Feb 11, 2008


Hi all,

I'm trying to use a SQL 2000 view in one of my sources. The view isnt anything special --- just three tables that have been unioned together. All these three tables have the EXACT same datatypes as well as column names. There are no constraints on these tables (yet). There is an identity seed on the first ID column. However, when I try to access this view, it generates the following error:

Server: Msg 4502, Level 16, State 1, Procedure MyView, Line 5
View or function 'MyView' has more column names specified than columns defined.
Server: Msg 4413, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not use view or function 'MyView' because of binding errors.

Does anybody have any experience with this?

CLR Stored Procedures Table Permissions

Jul 4, 2013

I have an app which calls a SP, which in turn calls a CLR Stored Procedure.

The CLR stored procedure calls a number of different tables, using a Context connection string.

The issue is that the CLR SP requires the user to have permissions to the tables directly, instead of just permissions to the SP which was expected.

If I just give permission to the SP, then the CLR SP fails. So I then add the table permissions, and it then works.

So the question is, how do I raise security so the app does not have permissions on the tables?

Question On Which Component To Use In Data Flow For Default Value Stored In A Table

Jan 30, 2008

Hi,

I have SSIS which will have OLF DB Source, and then have Derived Column component to managering all data from OLF DB Source. I used to have default columns such as Create Date, Update Date set as fixed date. Now we decided to put this default column values into a table to manage. I then have problem to choose which component I should use in order to have this columns selected from default table.

For example: if Create Date is null, I have to select default value from the default table; otherwise, use Create Date value and so on.

Thanks,

Megan

Temp Table Scope In Nested Stored Procedures

Jun 8, 2001

We are migrating a SQL 6.5 application with 1900 stored procedures that use 100's of temp tables to SQL 2000.

A problem we have encountered was that we started out getting an "invalid column" errors on certain procedures. Investigation determined that the error was being generated in a nested procedure. The table that caused the error ended up being a temp table that was created using "select into". The following select statement from that temp table gave the invalid column error.

First thinking it was the "Select Into" we then discovered that the outer most procedure had created a temp table of the same name prior to executing the lower level procedure. After the select into, the next statement was a SELECT that went against what it thought was the inner temp table. However, it grabbed the outermost temp table and then couldn't find the appropriate columns and generated the error.

The solution, of course, was to rename the inner most temp table. We also remove the "select into" in the procedure by explicitly creating the temp table.

We tried creating some test procedures to attempt to reproduce this scenario without complete success.

Our test created 3 procedures (sp1 calling sp2 calling sp3) to mimic the current scenario. Sp1 created a temp table and executed sp2, which executed sp3. Sp3 created another temp table using the same name as the one created in sp1.

If we create all three procedures at the same time, it doesn't matter if we change the order in which they are created or whether we create the inner temp table explicitly or with a "select into", SQL Query Analyzer won't let us create the procedure because it finds that the temp table has been declared twice. If we create the procedures separately however, they compile and allow sp3 to create a temp table by the same name as sp1. After creating the procedures independently, they runs properly in all cases with everything in proper scope and no problems.

Admittedly, this is bad coding to start with, but what is happening with the scope of the temp tables within the stored procedures?

Thanks,
Glen Smith
