we can use 'sp_executesql' to execute any statemens. I have made a search and people, seems, need the dynamic sql only to process some table/cloumn unknown in advance. My idea is that the dynamic SQL feature is ideal for passing blocks of code (aka delegates). Particularily, you may require to execute different procedures under some acquired locks. A procedure would acquire the locks, execute the code and release the locks. The problem is, however, that I cannot find the specification for the variable length parameters. It seems not feasible for SPs. Nevertheless, the 'sp_executesql itself does accept the variable number of parameters. How? Can we look at the defenition?
Can a Sql Server SP have variable number of arguments??? If yes, can somebody point me to a resource demonstrating that??? I need to send variable number of arguments to some of my SPs & iterate them with either foreach or traditional for loop. Any support would be greatly appreciated.
If variable number of arguments are not feasible, then can I pass them as an array to the SP (again a Sample code would be desirable)???

Help I have not got much more hair to loose Thanks Steve
is there any way or a tool to identify if in procedure the Parameter length was declarated less than table Column length ..
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST001 (KeyName Varchar(100) ) a procedure CREATE PROCEDURE SpFindNames ( @KeyName VARCHAR(40) ) AS BEGIN SELECT KeyName FROM TEST001 WHERE KeyName = @KeyName END KeyName = @KeyName
Here table Column with 100 char length "KeyName" was compared with SP parameter "@KeyName" with length 40 char ..
IS there any way to find out all such usage on the ALL Procedures in the Database ?
Hi everybody, I am having trouble how to fixed this code. I am trying to supply the parameterinside a stored procedure with a value, and displays error message shown below. If I did not supply the parameter with a value, it works. How to fix this?Error Message:Procedure or function <stored proc name> has too many arguments specified.Thanks,den2005 Stored procedure:

Can someone help me with this issue? I am trying to update a record using a sp. The db table has an identity column. I seem to have set up everything correctly for Gridview and SqlDataSource but have no clue where my additional, phanton arguments are being generated. If I specify a custom statement rather than the stored procedure in the Data Source configuration wizard I have no problem. But if I use a stored procedure I keep getting the error "Procedure or function <sp name> has too many arguments specified." But thing is, I didn't specify too many parameters, I specified exactly the number of parameters there are. I read through some posts and saw that the gridview datakey fields are automatically passed as parameters, but when I eliminate the ID parameter from the sp, from the SqlDataSource parameters list, or from both (ID is the datakey field for the gridview) and pray that .net somehow knows which record to update -- I still get the error. I'd like a simple solution, please, as I'm really new to this. What is wrong with this picture? Thank you very much for any light you can shed on this.
Im getting this error when looping through a gridview. Im trying to save each row into the database. The weird thing is that it saves the first row, but errors out on the second.If I only add one item to the gridview, it works. The second row is screwing it up somehow. Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Some of my code to get an idea of how im doing it:(This is for a shopping cart. It displays the products in the shopping cart. If the order is approved by the CC processing company, each product entry is saved in the DB. The gridview is being populated by my ShoppingCart Profile Object.)

Hello. I am pretty new to SQL Stored Procedure, and ran into a problem. I am guessing there is a simple solution to this, as I am self-teaching myself this stuff.
I currently have a procedure that creates a new table, by reading in columns from a variety of Linked Servers (ODBC connection to to Sybase databases)
I will want to generalize a procedure by setting as arguments the ODBC connection name and the name of the new table that will be created ("CREATE TABLE") so I can pass these in.
As a test of this idea, I created this as a simple procedure, but I get a syntax error when I try to Check Syntax this. Do I have to do something else when I reference the string "argu1" to specify a new table name, or an OPEN QUERY Linked table name? Thanks and Happy New Year!

As far as I can see the number of parameters in the application match the number of arguments in the stored procedure. I supply 10 parameters in the application and 10 in the procedure. Is the location of the declaration of the argument cgpID a problem?

Can anybody help me with this error? I am not even sure where to start looking.
i am looping through an arrayList that populates the SqlParameters. I open the database outside the loop, close it outside the loop and execute myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); inside the loop for every loop.
The error I am getting is:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Procedure or function ImportData has too many arguments specified.
I've found that I'm not the first one to get the error
"Procedure or function x has too many arguments specified"
while working with Stored Procedures (which is no surprise at all). But all suggested solutions didn't help, maybe this is because I misunderstood the whole concept. The situation is: On my page there is a FormView control including the EditItemTemplate. The database contains a Stored Procedure called UpdatePersonByID which is working fine as long as executed in Visual Web Developer. Here's the procedure code:
This is not exactly what it will finally have to do, of course the WHERE-clause later will contain an ID comparison. But since I tried to break down my code as much as possible I changed it to what you see right now. Here's the aspx-source (the red stuff is what I think is important):
And then once again a totally different question: Is there a way to post the highlighted aspx or vb code into this forum and keep the colors? i think I've seen that in some posts but didn't wanna do it manually.
I have the following stored procedure ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.TextEntered @searchString varchar(30) /* ( @parameter1 datatype = default value, @parameter2 datatype OUTPUT ) */ AS Select GAVPrimaryKey, NAME from towns where NAME like @searchString order by NAME
RETURN doesn't work!!!! I would like to produce the following where s is @searchString: Select GAVPrimaryKey, NAME from towns where NAME like 's%' order by NAME Any ideas how I might acomplish this I have tried almost everything !
I've been on this one all day - and now tearing my hair out. I have a large SQL2005 database (migrated from SQL2000) which I'm trying to replicate using a VB6 front end.
The application and database concerned have been working with no problems using merge replication for the last 5 years - however, I now need to port to SQL 2005.
In the VB6 app, I'm using the SQLMerge9 control to handle the replication side of things. The code I'm using is exactly as per the code which works under SQL 2000, however, I'm getting an error message "Procedure or function sp_MSupdatesysmergearticles has too many arguments specified." when I try to initialize the subscription.
I've seen one other item on the web with this problem, and this was someone trying to replicate a 2005 client with a 2000 server. I'm using SQL2005 both ends with merge replication -the replication is set up for SQL2005 clients only, and the database (which incidentally is being created on the subscriber correctly) is in SQL2005 compatibility mode.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated - I haven't got much hair left now.
The code I'm using is as follows:
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Set SQLMergeCtl = New SQLMerge Dim strSQL As String Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
' add subscriber strSQL = "EXEC sp_dropsubscriber '[subscriber name]'" Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection cnn.Open [connection string]
strSQL = "EXEC sp_addsubscriber '[machine name]', 0 , '[user name]', '[password]', @security_mode = 0" On Error Resume Next cnn.Execute strSQL
If Err <> 0 Then MsgBox Error End If
strSQL = "sp_dropmergesubscription @publication = '[publication name], @subscriber = '[machine name]', @subscriber_db = '[subscriber database name]', @subscription_type = 'pull'" cnn.Execute strSQL If Err <> 0 Then MsgBox Error End If
On Error GoTo Err_Handler cnn.Close Set cnn = Nothing
SQLMergeCtl.DistributorSecurityMode = DB_AUTHENTICATION SQLMergeCtl.Distributor = [distributor name - actually same as the publisher] SQLMergeCtl.DistributorLogin = [user name] SQLMergeCtl.DistributorPassword =[password]
I'm new to SQL Server. I installed a copy of 6.5 on my server and set it up today. I received a db from a colleague and have been unable to find out what the variable types and lengths are. This may be very easy but I need to know.
Hi,A query is exceeding the length of varchar and nvarchar variable.Because I'm picking the data from each record from table and giving itto the query.suggest me some way to do it.sample query:SELECT P1.*, (P1.Q1 + P1.Q2 + P1.Q3 + P1.Q4) AS YearTotalFROM (SELECT Year,SUM(CASE P.Quarter WHEN 1 THEN P.Amount ELSE 0 END) ASQ1,SUM(CASE P.Quarter WHEN 2 THEN P.Amount ELSE 0 END) ASQ2,SUM(CASE P.Quarter WHEN 3 THEN P.Amount ELSE 0 END) ASQ3,SUM(CASE P.Quarter WHEN 4 THEN P.Amount ELSE 0 END) AS Q4FROM Pivot1 AS PGROUP BY P.Year) AS P1GO---> even the P.QUARTER .... FIELD NAME IS BEING GENERATEDDYNAMICALLY.MY QUERY IS EXCEEDING VARCHAR AND NVARCHAR LIMIT.THANX IN ADV.
We have an application written in ASP that calls a MS-SQL stored procedure and passes several parameters. Once in a while, we get this error, but most of the time it works. We can also run this in SQL query analyzer without ever a problem. We've looked at the obvious and found nothing wrong.
Please help! Any suggestions are appreciated. (I posted this in ASP discussion board but no one replied)
