Good evening:Can anyone give me the low-down on using view from within my stored procedures? I've got some rather complex views that join multiple tables resulting in a staggering SQL query. I then use stored procedures to accept input parameters to determine order by and direction clauses. This results in some rather large "IF ELSE IF ELSE IF..." statements in my SP. Put a complicated SQL query together with lots of IF THEN and it becomes difficult to keep stuff straight in the SP. Therefore, using the view to keep my SQL in one place is an ideal solution. However, and here's the question, does it have a negative impact on speed and/or scalability. We plan to use these SP's within an ASP.NET website that may get a very large amount of traffic. Any advice/help you can give me would be really appreciated. Thanks!
I have been having troubling getting at views and stored proceduers with ADO objects while developing in VB.
I can get a list of the views and stored procedures, but I don't know how to actually get the text values of them... i would like the text so that I can parse/compare them agianst one another...
This maybe a simple question, I'm using reporting services to make a report, question is can I write a stored procedure that queries from a join of two views instead of two tables?
I'm having trouble getting my table data into the reportable state I want it, and I think organising into views might be easier.
Hi everybody,I am trying to alter a view inside a Stored Procedure and sql server is not allowing me to do so.Can we not have an alter view inside a Stored Procedure?Here is the code: CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.[UPDATE_VIEW_LINEITEMALLOTMENT] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here@MAINID int,@BE VARCHAR(8)ASBEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. --SET NOCOUNT ON; ALTER VIEW [Budget_Management_System].[dbo].[LineItem_OCAFund] AS SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT SUM(dbo.ALL_OCAFUND.AMOUNT) AS Expr2, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.LINENUM, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.PC, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.CATEGORY, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.ROWID, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.MAINID FROM dbo.APP_LINEITEM INNER JOIN dbo.ALL_ORG ON dbo.APP_LINEITEM.ROWID = dbo.ALL_ORG.LINEITEMID INNER JOIN dbo.ALL_OCAFUND ON dbo.ALL_ORG.ROWID = dbo.ALL_OCAFUND.ORGID INNER JOIN dbo.APP_AMENDMENT ON dbo.ALL_ORG.AMENDMENTID = dbo.APP_AMENDMENT.ROWID AND dbo.ALL_OCAFUND.AMENDMENTID = dbo.APP_AMENDMENT.ROWID GROUP BY dbo.APP_LINEITEM.LINEORDER, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.BE, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.MAINID, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.LINENUM, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.PC, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.CATEGORY, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.ROWID, dbo.APP_AMENDMENT.AMENDMENTORDER HAVING (dbo.APP_LINEITEM.BE = @BE) AND (dbo.APP_LINEITEM.MAINID = @MAINID) AND (dbo.APP_AMENDMENT.AMENDMENTORDER = 1) ORDER BY dbo.APP_LINEITEM.LINEORDER ENDthanks a lot,Murthy here
Hi,I was just wondering if it's possible to access views from stored procedures? I know it doesn't make much sense, but would it be possible? If so, can you also give me some code example?Thanks.
I do all my data access through stored procedures. Is there any benefit in creating views that the stored procedure accesses. At the moment, I tend to just write the select and join within the stored procedure.
I have two databases named A and B. They are exactly same table structure, but the records are different, and we have near 400 stored procedures and over100 views in the database A. Now my question is that how can I transfer all stored procedures and views from database A to database B?
Novice question. Would someone explain tell me what a view is used for? Also I am confused about the difference between a function and a stored procedure. They both seem like functions to me.
Please could someone explain to me the differences between a storedprocedure and a view.The reason for this question is I have two almost identical ASP pages.Both get the same results but one uses a stored procedure and one usesa view. If the query returns no results the 'view page' generateserrors and therefore I have to check for BOF and EOF, whereas the'stored procedure page' does not generate errors and instead wouldappear to return a recordset with 0 entries.Thanks in advanceNeil.
Can Microsoft Access access a stored procedure on the SQL Server? If not, is there any way to assign a parameter to a view? I can link to a view in Access, but I cannot link to a procedure. I need to SELECT * from aTable WHERE ID = [@PassidInID]. Any way to do this through Access? The reason for this, is because I am trying to run an existing query (which is very busy - using other queries with queries in them etc.), and I keep getting an ODBC error. I am thinking that if I move the queries to the SQL Server, it may get rid of this error? It's a 2-tier app I have. Tables on the server, forms, queries, and everything else in Access. Thanks in advance - I hope.
I posted this same question couple of times in the news groups but no answers. I have a 2 tables and i am doing a union query using a view. each has 250 rows. The query takes 20 seconds to return the results. no joins or anything. the create view simply looks like this:
create view myview as select id, name from table1 union select id,name from table2
Where as if i write a stored procedure like below, it returns the rows in 4 seconds. create table #mytable ( id int, name varchar(30)) insert into #mytable (id, name) select id, name from table1 insert into #mytable (id, name) select id, name from table2 select id,name from #mytable.
I prefer doing in the view since both returns the same result. I tried running dbcc, update statistics. but no luck. Can anyone please help me in this issue.
I have a multiple table dataset that needs to be returned, with at least 5 joins, some inner, some left outer.
Currently, this is done via a parameterized stored prodedure, which is used fairly frequently. The parameters only affect the where clause, not the joins.
Would it be better to create the view with the joins already done, then pass in the parameters with the stored procedure? Which is better for overall performance? Which is better for quicker response times to the calling asp.net application?
This is a general question regarding the use of view and storedprocedures. I'm fairly new to databases and SQL.I've created a SQL database using an Access Data Project ("ADP") andI'm satified with the table structure. I've moved on to building somefront ends for our users.I'm running into situations where I want subreports to be built fromqueries [views or stored procedures-I don't know which to use so I usethe term query] that are dependent on the values in other controls.I've played with stored procedures and I've figured out how to sendcriteria to a stored procedure and then dynamically change the recordsource of a subreport.However, I'm running into cases where I can't add records to theresults of a stored procedure. The table I'm running a stored procedureon has five fields: (1) Primary Key for each record, (2) FundID that'sa primary key in another table, (3) CompanyID that's a primary key inanother table, (4) Attribute 1 of the (Fund/Company) and (5) Attribute2 of the (Fund/Company).The stored procedure filters the set of Fund/Companies based on aFundID from a form. I can update this stored procedure. However, forusers, they would like to see the Fund Name from the table that hasunique FundIDs. As soon as I include that into the stored procedure, Ican no longer add records.My questions are many:1. Is there a primer online that discusses the theory behind myquestion? Recordsets, updatability, working with recordsets in forms?2. What are some best practices for developing subreports, combo boxes,list boxes, etc. where the data is dependent on the values in a control3. I'm struggling with the best ways to grab objects on a form. If I'mon the main form I'm comfortable working with theMe.__object__.__sub-oject routine. However, if I'm in one subform whereI need another subform to change based on the record I'm in, I feelthat my code to get at the subform is very klunky..forms.main form name.sub form name.form.record sourceI don't even know how I figured out the "form" part before recordsource. Again, are there some basic rules or guides about navigatingthrough forms in VBA?4. Should I be developing front ends in some other environment?I know it's a lot, but all the advice from the newsgroups seems topresuppose some knowledge about how ADP, ADO, ODBC..blah blah and Ican't seem to find any documents about ADP and SQL.
The purpose for my questions is accessing these technologies fromapplications. I develop both applications and databases. Working withMicrosoft C#.NET and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Production and 2005 TestEnvironments.What is the purpose of a view if I can just copy the vode from a viewand put it into a stored procedure?Should I be accessing views from stored procedures?Should I use views to get information? and Stored Procedures forInserts, Updates and Deletes?What are the performance differences between the two?Thank you for any and all information.SBProgrammer
I would like to use the view of the company data in the following stored procedures
without needing to pass a value into the CompanyID identity column. Is there a way to do this? The following code contains the view, the insert trigger on the view, and the desired stored procedures.
Also, this code is given me problem as well the error message says it cannot convert varchar to int. This code is located in the insert trigger.
INSERT INTO State(StateName) VALUES(@StateName)
Here is the code of the company view, notice the C.CompanyID it is used in the GetCompany stored procedure.
FROM Company AS C INNER JOIN Address AS A ON C.AddressID = A.AddressID INNER JOIN State AS S ON A.StateID = S.StateID INNER JOIN Phone AS P ON C.PhoneID = P.PhoneID
Here is code for the insert trigger on the view
CREATE TRIGGER InsertTriggerOnCustomerView ON ViewOfCompany INSTEAD OF INSERT AS BEGIN
DECLARE @CompanyName VARCHAR(128) DECLARE @AddressID INT DECLARE @Street VARCHAR(256) DECLARE @City VARCHAR(128) DECLARE @StateID INT DECLARE @StateName VARCHAR(128) DECLARE @ZipCode INT DECLARE @Country VARCHAR(128) DECLARE @PhoneID INT DECLARE @PhoneNumber VARCHAR(32) --DECLARE @CompanyID INT
INSERT INTO Address(Street, City, StateID, Country, ZipCode) VALUES(@Street, @City, @StateID, @ZipCode, @Country)
SET @AddressID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT INTO Phone(PhoneNumber) VALUES(@PhoneNumber)
SET @PhoneID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT INTO Company(CompanyName, AddressID, PhoneID) VALUES(@CompanyName, @AddressID, @PhoneID)
END
The stored procedures are here.
CREATE PROCEDURE GetCompany ( @CompanyID INT ) AS BEGIN SELECT CompanyName,Street, City, StateName, ZipCode, Country, PhoneNumber FROM ViewOfCompany WHERE CompanyID = @CompanyID END GO
CREATE PROCEDURE AddCompany ( @CompanyName VARCHAR(128), @Street VARCHAR(256), @City VARCHAR(128), @StateName VARCHAR(128), @ZipCode VARCHAR(128), @Country VARCHAR(128), @PhoneNumber VARCHAR(32) ) AS BEGIN INSERT INTO ViewOfCompany VALUES(@CompanyName, @Street, @City, @StateName, @ZipCode, @Country, @PhoneNumber) END GO
Hi,Right, i have a fairly good understanding of SQL. However, i have a fairly basic understanding of SQL Server.I know Storedprocedures are really good and i'm starting to use them. I understand they are good for making inserting, updating very easy.However when you look at a SQL Server database you get various folder, this leaves me a little confused with what they are all used for? whats the difference between these?Thanks in advance!sorry for the basic question, i'll try to challange you next time
We have recently begun using transactional replication to keep the data in our SQL Servers synchronized in a geographically dispersed environment. We replicate our tables but we have never replicated views, stored procedures, or user functions in our production systems. We are thinking of doing so but wonder if the overhead of running the replication agents doesn't outweigh the benefits of having replication assist with the occassional change to these design elements.
Is anyone on this forum replicating views, sprocs, and user functions? What has your experience been?
Hi all--I used the following type of script to migrate tables, views and stored procedures from 'dbo' to 'hqmsuser': alter authorization on dbo.PK_T_PQ_MASTER to HQMSUSER alter schema HQMSUSER transfer dbo.PK_T_PQ_MASTER go
This was per recommendations from the BOL to use instead of the 'sp_changeobjectowner' procedure. I returned the following error:
Msg 15346, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 Cannot change owner for an object that is owned by a parent object. Change the owner of the parent object instead. Msg 15347, Level 16, State 1, Line 4 Cannot transfer an object that is owned by a parent object.
How do I find and change the parent object on this from 'dbo' to a non-dbo schema ownership?
I am writing a program that transforms a generic MS SQL database to make it compatible with our application. In order to make the transformation, I have to access all the elements of the generic database programmatically.
I know that the Master database contains all this information. Is there a query that allows me to access the "non-system" tables, sps, views, and functions?
For Tables, I need to know the Name(s) of the tables, the column names, the column type, ALLOW Nulls, Primary Key, Identity Seed settings, and Triggers.
For SPs, I need to know the Name(s) and access the SP source code (assuming it's unencrypted).
For Views, I need to know the Name(s) and access the Views Source
For functions, I need to know the Name(s) and access the function source.
I can see various tables in the Master database from management studio, like sys.objects, sys.tables - which look like they have the info I need. However, when I run a query against master like:
select * from sys.objects .. I get an error:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.
I've a doubt regarding deploying and creating package (MSI and EXE files) for SQL Stored procedures,views,tables,functions,triggers etc.,just like ASP.NET application by publishing and deploying..Is it possible in the same way for sql objects.If so,pls help me how to do it?
Hello, I have a question where the answer may be simply opinion, or there may be strong reasons. I guess that's why I'm asking the question... The question is - when should one create a view, and when should one use a stored procedure? Obviously, when doing multiple queries or passing parameters, you must use a SP. I'm talking about the case of a single query perhaps joins a couple of tables.
I want to know the differences between SQL Server 2000 storedprocedures and oracle stored procedures? Do they have differentsyntax? The concept should be the same that the stored proceduresexecute in the database server with better performance?Please advise good references for Oracle stored procedures also.thanks!!
I'm looking for a best practice. Let's say you have a report that contains out of 3 queries.
How are you going to create the report and why?
1. Just use "select * from table where p1= value" in your report 2. Save the query in your db as a view and use the view in your report 3. Create a procedure that contains all 3 queries. And use the procedure with some parameters in your report?
I recently set up a new sql 2005 standard edition and planning to mirgrate our production sql 2000 data. but only the tables were migrated from the copy data or import / export task. I cannot find a way to recreate the store procedures and views on the new server without create one view and one store procedure at a time unless all hundreds of views and procedures were rescripted. can anyone help
I am using SQL Server Management Studio and Visual Studio 2005 and I am a newbie. Once connected to a remote server and database I am able to use SQL Server Management Studio to modify a table and save it. When I modify a stored procedure or create a new one and attempt to save it I get my local dialog box to save to my system with a new name €œSQLQuery6.sql.€? How do I cause the procedure to be saved to the remote database? If anyone can help this or where I can find it I will appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to generate scripts in SQL Server Management Studio 2005.
When I choose 'Script all objects' I get an error when I try to execute it. When I generate the scripts in single files, only tables in one file, only views in one file etc. etc., the execution is succeded.
1) Why do I get an error when I try to execute the script containing tables, views, procedures in one file....?
2) I get an error in the view-file where one column is 'invalid' but I can see it in the view. A generated script should execute succesfully when it is generated one second ago on the same database and so on... Right?
This Might be a really simple thing, however we have just installed SQL server 2005 on a new server, and are having difficulties with the set up of the Store Procedures. Every time we try to modify an existing stored procedure it attempts to save it as an SQL file, unlike in 2000 where it saved it as part of the database itself.
Using SQL 2005, SP2. All of a sudden, whenever I create any stored procedures in the master database, they get created as system stored procedures. Doesn't matter what I name them, and what they do.
For example, even this simple little guy:
CREATE PROCEDURE BOB
AS
PRINT 'BOB'
GO
Gets created as a system stored procedure.
Any ideas what would cause that and/or how to fix it?
How do I search for and print all stored procedure names in a particular database? I can use the following query to search and print out all table names in a database. I just need to figure out how to modify the code below to search for stored procedure names. Can anyone help me out? SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
