I work in a Decision Support role and we are moving from Access to SQL Server 2005.
One process we often do in Access is create unique tables for individuals and then export them out as Excel files. We read the person's name from a file and use that variable as the file name.
But I can't find a way to do that in SQL.
I want to do a select into and use the variable as the name but it doesn't work.
CREATE TABLE #T(branchnumber VARCHAR(4000))
insert into #t(branchnumber) values (005)
insert into #t(branchnumber) values (090)
insert into #t(branchnumber) values (115)
insert into #t(branchnumber) values (210)
insert into #t(branchnumber) values (216)
[code]....
I have a parameter which should take multiple values into it and pass that to the code that i use. For, this i created a parameter and temporarily for testing i am passing some values into it.Using a dynamic SQL i am converting multiple values into multiple records as rows into another variable (called @QUERY). My question is, how to insert the values from variable into a table (table variable or temp table or CTE).OR Is there any way to parse the multiple values into a table. like if we pass multiple values into a parameter. those should go into a table as rows.
which is more efficient...which takes less memory...how is the memory allocation done for both the types.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know if it's a local issue but I can't use temp table or table variable in a PP query (so not in a stored procedure).

Simple example:

Works perfectly in SQL Server Management Studio and the database connection is OK to as I may generate PP table using complex (or simple) queries without difficulty.

Hi All,Hope someone can help me...Im trying to highlight the advantages of using table variables asapposed to temp tables within single scope.My manager seems to believe that table variables are not advantageousbecause they reside in memory.He also seems to believe that temp tables do not use memory...Does anyone know how SQL server could read data from a temp tablewithout passing the data contained therein through memory???Is this a valid advantage/disadvantage of table variables VS temptables?

It was obvious that we have to limit the use of #Temp table to a minimum. Let assume that some of the temp tables are really difficult to replace and we have to live with them.
Would it be easier on tempdb if the #TempTable is replaced by a table variable? Or do they all end up in tempdb?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have a stored produre. Inside this stored procedure I have table variable with one column. Once the table variable is populated with rows, I would like to pass each value in the table, into a table-valued function. The table-valued function may return any number of rows. I would like all the rows the TVF returns to be returned from the stored procedure as a single result set. I would also like to do this without defining a table variable to hold the results of the table-value function.
Code Snippet
declare @IdTable table
(
EmployeeId nvarchar( 16 ) not null
)
insert into @IdTable
select EmployeeNumber from Employees
/*
I need to run this query for every EmployeeId value in @IdTable and return the results from the stored proc as a single result set.
*/
select * from fn_GetEmployeeById( EmployeeId )
Any help is very much appreciated.

In my stored procedure i have a multi-valued varchar(max) parameter and I wrote a table-valued function that takes the varchar(max) and return a table back to the stored procedure where i inserted into a @table. Just wondering is there a better and faster way of doing this?
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[rpt]
(
@CourtIDs as nvarchar(MAX) -- @CourtIDs = '1231,3432,1234,3421'
)
AS
--split CourtIDs into a table
DECLARE @tbCourtIDs table(CourtID int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY)
INSERT INTO @tbCourtIDs
select * from dbo.Split(@CourtIDs, ',')
hi all, if i have a function which it returns a table and i need to work with the table retured many times in the stored procedure, then should i use a temporary table or a table variable to store the returned table ? or it's there a better way in doing that?

Help!
I am writing a cursor that goes out and retrieves all the tables that contain a certain column name and then inserts specific data from those tables into a new table. The problem i'm having is even though I can load the table names into a variable I can't use that variable as a table name to do the insert. It gives me an error that the variable hasn't been declared even though it has. Is there any tricks I can do to make SQL treat the variable as a table name so I can run the Insert from these table names?
Dave
Here is the what I've got so far:
Declare @table_name varchar
Declare table_name_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES as t, syscolumns as s
WHERE t.TABLE_NAME = OBJECT_NAME((s.ID)) and s.Name='ModBy'and t.Table_Type = 'Base Table'

(
NameIDint,
OldestDt Datetime
)
;
Open table_name_cursor
Fetch Next From table_name_cursor
Into @table_name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
Begin
Insert into ##oldusers(NameID,OldestDt)
Select Addby, Max(AddDt)
FROM @table_name<---This is the problem.
group by Addby
Fetch Next From table_name_cursor
Into @table_name
End
Close table_name_cursor
Deallocate table_name_cursor

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a UDF that will return a fully qualified table name given a few parameters. What I would like to do is call my UDF in a SQL statement and NOT have to use the sp_executesql and pass my query in as a string.
The reason for this is I have no promises from my client of the server and database name for the tables that I am going to use so I would like to build a UDF that I could change the server name and database name in ONE place and have all my queries using the right database. I basically have 3 "applications' that I need to do business with. For simplicity sake we'll just call them 'APP1','APP2','APP3'.
Example:
If my table is called 'TABLEA' and it's a table for 'APP1', what I have is UDF where you pass in the application and table and it returns the fully qualified path to the table. For example:
Select @TheTableName = dbo.MYUDF('app1','tablea')
Result is @TheTableName would be 'SERVER_FOR_APP1.DBO.TABLEA'
What I have found that I had to do is build a nvarchar(????) string of my query and then call sp_executesql and pass it the query via the nvarchar string. There are cases where this will not work - For example:
Select @somevalue = sometable.field from server_for_app1.dbo.sometable where someprimarykey = 123
Ideally I could code this as:
Select @somevalue = sometable.field from MyUDF('APP1','SOMETABLE') where someprimarykey = 123
Again, "MyUDF" returns a varchar() of the fully qualified table name including server and database name.
Does anyone know how I can make this work?
Thanks for any help you can provide and apologies for any cross posting!
Sincerely,
Dave Dulong

I ran into this while testing some stuff and was wonding if it is some known behavior or not?
All that I'm doing is create a table variable, loading it with some data and then updating a random number of rows to a value. In this example I'm trying to update 3 rows and setting the Code columm to 'A'.
You will notice that there are 3 declarations of the table variable at the top of the script. I get why the first one may not work, but I would expect the second one to wokr correctly, but only the thirsd one works correctly. By "correctly" I mean updates 3 and only 3 rows.
(EDIT: I should probably note that I just hit "refresh" a bunch of times to notice that the first 2 table declarations updated a variable number of rows, for waht it's worth).
Maybe I can;t see the forest for the tree or somethig, but here is the script:DECLARE @Foo TABLE (ID INT IDENTITY, Bar INT, Code CHAR(1))
--DECLARE @Foo TABLE (ID INT IDENTITY(1, 1), Bar INT, Code CHAR(1))
--DECLARE @Foo TABLE (ID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) PRIMARY KEY, Bar INT, Code CHAR(1))
DECLARE @Count INT
INSERT @Foo
SELECT 1, NULL
UNION ALL SELECT 2, NULL
UNION ALL SELECT 3, NULL
UNION ALL SELECT 4, NULL
UNION ALL SELECT 5, NULL
UNION ALL SELECT 6, NULL
UNION ALL SELECT 7, NULL
SET @Count = 3
SELECT *
FROM @Foo
UPDATE Foo
SET Code = 'A'
FROM @Foo AS Foo
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT
ID,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY NEWID()) AS RowNum
FROM
@Foo
) AS Temp
ON Foo.ID = Temp.ID
WHERE
Temp.RowNum <= @Count
SELECT *
FROM @Foo
In SQL Server 2000, I'm trying to create a procedure that backsup a table based on variable name and then deletes the old table which will be recreate later. But get this error "Line 13: Incorrect syntax near '@new_Table'. "

Hi all,
I have a table which holds a list of users names & the table assigned to each, e.g.
- John Smith - Table1
- bob Jones - Table2
etc
I have a store procedure which calls the information from the user's table based on the username. Something like this:
Select *
from @UserTable
So if user is John Smith then @UserTable = Table1.
Though the @ function does not work for referencing a table. Is there a workaround to this ?
Rgds & thanks.
I'm using a script to enrich a package variable to the desired endstate.

What strategy do you use to read a variable and log it into a table? I didn't get it working to get the variable in the flow as an input column from within the script task
