Variable Number Of Where Clauses In A Stored Procedure
Jun 20, 2001
I have a web page which passes back parameters to a stored procedure.
From the web page the user selects different clauses for the 'where' criteria.
Based upon the number of clause items in the parameters sent back, a select statement is built and executed.
In the stored procedure I have many if statements to chose the correct sql statement.
As the no of clauses in the where statement can vary, it can become messy script.
Has anyone dealt with this scenario. What is the best strategy ?
A simple illustation of this is as follows
A statement with two clauses :-
Select * from Sales where
user = 'John' and country = 'England'
A statement with three clauses :-
Select * from Sales where
user = 'John' and country = 'England' and County = 'Staffordshire'
The stored procedure would except three parameters and would build a string based on the number of actual where clases sent back

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)???

Hi,
I have a repeater control which I populate with search results from SQL Server.
But I can't figure out how to cope with users who submit multiple search items and still use my stored procedure. Is this possible or do you have to build the query with a StringBuilder and execute it manually?
I'm using a stored procedure with parameters:
input parameters <-- PageSize & CurrentPage
output parameter --> TotalRecords
Am using a temporary table to store all records before Select-ing those required for the particular page.
If I compose the query manually then I can't figure out how to get TotalRecords back as a return parameter. Would appreciate help on this one.
Am hoping that stored procedures can cope with an unknown number of parameters.

I am fairly new to MSSQL. Looking for a answer to a simple question.
I have a application which passes in lot of stuff from the UI into a stored procedure that has to be inserted into a MSSQL 2005 database. All the information that is passed will be spilt into 4 inserts hitting 4 seperate tables. All 4 inserts will be part of a stored procedure that have to be in one TRANSACTION. All but one insert are straight forward.
The structure of this table is something like
PKID
customerID
email address
.....
customerID is not unique and can have n email addresses passed in. Each entry into this table when inserted into, will be passed n addresses (The number of email addresses passed is controlled by the user. It can be from 1..n). Constructing dynamic SQL is not an option. The SP to insert all the data is already in place. Typically I would just create the SP with IN parameters that I will use to insert into tables. In this case I can't do that since the number of email addresses passed is dynamic. My question is what's the best way to design this SP, where n email addresses are passed and each of them will have to be passed into a seperate insert statement? I can think of two ways to this...
Is there a way to create a variable length array as a IN parameter to capture the n email addresses coming in and use them to construct multiple insert statements?
Is it possible to get all the n email addresses as a comma seperated string? I know this is possible, but I am not sure how to parse this string and capture the n email addresses into variables before I construct them into insert statements.
Any other ways to do this? Thanks

Hi, I hope some one can help me. I have a stored procedure (Microsoft SQL 2005 Express Edition) that I want users to be able to dynamically set the, group by, order by (@orderby) and where clause (@where). I have managed to get the group by to work but can't seem to get the where and order by to work. Here's my stored procedure. Any idea how this can be done? ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_aggregate] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @finfileid int, @phaseid int, @supplierid int, @measurementid int, @roleid int, @groupby int, @orderby int, @where int AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements.

Hi,
I have a complex SQL query against multiple tables that ideally would be best used as a stored procedure.
I know of and have read about creating named parameters and setting the parameters' values in ASP just before issuing an execute command via the Command object. What I'd like to do is assign the text of the filter and sort clauses to the parameters. Not the values, but the entire string, such as
"WHERE lastname LIKE 'A%' "
"ORDER BY lastname "
I need to assign the entire clause because the query may or may not use a particular clause.
I have experimented. However SQL treats the parameter as a literal string rather than part of the SQL query itself. Is there another technique that I may use to accomplish my goal?
Thanks in advance for your opinion, suggestion, criticism, etc.
--Tom.

I'm new to SSIS, but have been programming in SQL and ASP.Net for several years. In Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition I've created an SSIS that imports data from a flat file into the database. The original process worked, but did not check the creation date of the import file. I've been asked to add logic that will check that date and verify that it's more recent than a value stored in the database before the import process executes.
Here are the task steps.
[Execute SQL Task] - Run a stored procedure that checks to see if the import is running. If so, stop execution. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
[Execute SQL Task] - Log an entry to a table indicating that the import has started.
[Script Task] - Get the create date for the current flat file via the reference provided in the file connection manager. Assign that date to a global value (FileCreateDate) and pass it to the next step. This works.
[Execute SQL Task] - Compare this file date with the last file create date in the database. This is where the process breaks. This step depends on 2 variables defined at a global level. The first is FileCreateDate, which gets set in step 3. The second is a global variable named IsNewFile. That variable needs to be set in this step based on what the stored procedure this step calls finds out on the database. Precedence constraints direct behavior to the next proper node according to the TRUE/FALSE setting of IsNewFile.
If IsNewFile is FALSE, direct the process to a step that enters a log entry to a table and conclude execution of the SSIS.
If IsNewFile is TRUE, proceed with the import. There are 5 other subsequent steps that follow this decision, but since those work they are not relevant to this post.
Here is the stored procedure that Step 4 is calling. You can see that I experimented with using and not using the OUTPUT option. I really don't care if it returns the value as an OUTPUT or as a field in a recordset. All I care about is getting that value back from the stored procedure so this node in the decision tree can point the flow in the correct direction.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[p_CheckImportFileCreateDate]
/*
The SSIS package passes the FileCreateDate parameter to this procedure, which then compares that parameter with the date saved in tbl_ImportFileCreateDate.
If the date is newer (or if there is no date), it updates the field in that table and returns a TRUE IsNewFile bit value in a recordset.
Otherwise it returns a FALSE value in the IsNewFile column.
Example:
exec p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', '2/27/2008 9:24 AM', 0
*/
@ProcessName varchar(50)
, @FileCreateDate datetime
, @IsNewFile bit OUTPUT
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
--DECLARE @IsNewFile bit
DECLARE @CreateDateInTable datetime
SELECT @CreateDateInTable = FileCreateDate FROM tbl_ImportFileCreateDate WHERE ProcessName = @ProcessName
IF EXISTS (SELECT ProcessName FROM tbl_ImportFileCreateDate WHERE ProcessName = @ProcessName)
BEGIN
-- The process exists in tbl_ImportFileCreateDate. Compare the create dates.
IF (@FileCreateDate > @CreateDateInTable)
BEGIN
-- This is a newer file date. Update the table and set @IsNewFile to TRUE.
UPDATE tbl_ImportFileCreateDate
SET FileCreateDate = @FileCreateDate
WHERE ProcessName = @ProcessName
SET @IsNewFile = 1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
-- The file date is the same or older.
SET @IsNewFile = 0
END
END
ELSE
BEGIN
-- This is a new process for tbl_ImportFileCreateDate. Add a record to that table and set @IsNewFile to TRUE.
INSERT INTO tbl_ImportFileCreateDate (ProcessName, FileCreateDate)
VALUES (@ProcessName, @FileCreateDate)
SET @IsNewFile = 1
END
SELECT @IsNewFile
The relevant Global Variables in the package are defined as follows:
Name : Scope : Date Type : Value
FileCreateDate : (Package Name) : DateType : 1/1/2000
IsNewFile : (Package Name) : Boolean : False
Setting the properties in the "Execute SQL Task Editor" has been the difficult part of this. Here are the settings.
General
Name = Compare Last File Create Date
Description = Compares the create date of the current file with a value in tbl_ImportFileCreateDate.
TimeOut = 0
CodePage = 1252
ResultSet = None
ConnectionType = OLE DB
Connection = MyServerDataBase
SQLSourceType = Direct input
IsQueryStoredProcedure = False
BypassPrepare = True
I tried several SQL statements, suspecting it's a syntax issue. All of these failed, but with different error messages. These are the 2 most recent attempts based on posts I was able to locate.
SQLStatement = exec ? = dbo.p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', ?, ? output
SQLStatement = exec p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', ?, ? output
Parameter Mapping
Variable Name = User::FileCreateDate, Direction = Input, DataType = DATE, Parameter Name = 0, Parameter Size = -1
Variable Name = User::IsNewFile, Direction = Output, DataType = BYTE, Parameter Name = 1, Parameter Size = -1
Result Set is empty.
Expressions is empty.
When I run this in debug mode with this SQL statement ...
exec ? = dbo.p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', ?, ? output
... the following error message appears.
SSIS package "MyPackage.dtsx" starting.

Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
SSIS package "MyPackage.dtsx" finished: Failure.
When the above is run tbl_ImportFileCreateDate does not get updated, so it's failing at some point when calling the procedure.
When I run this in debug mode with this SQL statement ...
exec p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', ?, ? output
... the tbl_ImportFileCreateDate table gets updated. So I know that data piece is working, but then it fails with the following message.

This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.
SSIS package "MyPackage.dtsx" finished: Failure.
The IsNewFile global variable is scoped at the package level and has a Boolean data type, and the Output parameter in the stored procedure is defined as a Bit. So what gives?
The "Possible Failure Reasons" message is so generic that it's been useless to me. And I've been unable to find any examples online that explain how to do what I'm attempting. This would seem to be a very common task. My suspicion is that one or more of the settings in that Execute SQL Task node is bad. Or that there is some cryptic, undocumented reason that this is failing.
Thanks for your help.

I have received a change request for a project i am working on which im unsure if possible or not.
at the minute i have a very simple sp that simply selects data from a table by passing in one parameter
CREATE PROCEDURE PHAR_SelectGrade
@int_ID int
AS
SELECT GradeID as ID, Grade as Description, RequiresText, SendEmail, Timestamp
FROM tbl8Grade
WHERE Obsolete=0
AND GradeID = @int_ID
ORDER BY Grade
the user now wants the option to select more than one grade type (there are 100's of different grades)
so they might decide they want to see details for 2 grades, 22 grades etc. these would be selected and stored in an array (via an asp.net project) and then the stored procedure is called from within a web service
my question is how would i pass this array into the stored procedure??
i am assuming i would need to do something as follows for sp syntax, but im stumped on how i pass my array of values into the sp from the webservice and then for the sp to read the array in SQL??
CREATE PROCEDURE PHAR_SelectGrade
@myArray <what datatype?>
AS
SELECT GradeID as ID, Grade as Description, RequiresText, SendEmail, Timestamp
FROM tbl8Grade
WHERE Obsolete=0
AND GradeID IN (@myArray)
ORDER BY Grade
any ideas are greatly appreciated. or maybe its just not possible?!?
Cheers,
Craig

Hello to all!
I have a table name stored in a scalar variable (input parameter of my stored procedure). I need to run SQL statement: SELECT COUNT (*) FROM MyTable and store the result of my query in a scalar variable:
For example:
declare @countRows int
set @countRows = (select count(*) from MyTable)
The problem is that the name of MyTable is stored in the input variable of my stored procedure and of corse this does not work:
declare @countRows int
set @countRows = (select count(*) from @myTableName)
I also tried this:
declare @sqlQuery varchar(100)
set @sqlQuery = 'select count(*) from ' + @myTableName
set @countRows = exec(@sqlQuery)
But it looks like function exec() does not return any value...
Any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanx,
Ziga

I have a problem. I am trying to get a value from stored procedure A into a variable in storded procedure B, kind of like this:
Note: don't be fooled by the simplicity of these samples. There is no other way for me to solve this problem, but to get the value from sp_A into a variable in sp_B, since sp_A is in a database out of my control and i have no clue what happens therein...
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_A
AS
SELECT 'Hello world!'
RETURN
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE sp_B
AS
DECLARE @Value nvarchar(50)
SET @Value = --** Here i want to get the value from sp_A
SELECT @Value
GO

I have a stored procedure, the procedure need create new category for forums, each category have their own place (what going first , what going second etc...), it's importent for me that all categories will be in property for them place, so i must read next place from table, and if not then i set it = 0 . But it's seems not working, i getting error.
Can somebody tell me please what wrong ?
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.CreateCategory
(
@category_name varchar(100)
)
AS
declare @place int
/* setting place to zero */
SET @place = 0
/* trying to get last place and set value into @place */
SET @place = (Select max(category_place) FROM fo_categories)
/* if got nothing from table then setting value of first category */
IF (@place = 0)
set @place = 1
INSERT fo_categories (category_name, category_place)
VALUES(@category_name, @place)
RETURN
Running dbo."CreateCategory" ( @category_name = Public forums ).
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'category_place', table 'mg_forum.dbo.fo_categories'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
2. I also would ask what SET NOCOUNT ON/OFF mean and for what i can use it ?

I am trying to Execute a Stored Procedure using Call OSQL from a .bat file, and passing a DOS variable to the Stored Procedure.
The DOS variable is established in the DOS command...
set SERVERJOB=JOBNAME
I have tried...
EXEC sp_procedure %SERVERJOB%
With this, I get an error...
sg 170, Level 15, State 1, Server ABCDEFGH, Line 20
Line 20: Incorrect syntax near '%'.
If I put the variable name in quotes on the EXEC statement above, the value used is the variable name, %SERVERJOB% itself rather than the value the variable was set to, which would be JOBNAME in the above example.
Any ideas??? Thanks!

Hello;
I am using an Access 2003 front-end, and an SQL backend to run my application. I have a pretty good handle on using stored procedures and assigning variables for criteria within the SPROC.
I am however having a problem when I try to use a variable in place of a named procedure. For example I have a function that runs 2 procedures, therefore I "Call" the function with the code that runs my procedure, and simply change the name of the SPROC with each call. My problem is that I cannot figure out the syntax to use a variable for the named procedure. My code always errors on the line "objConn.MySProc MyCalendar, objRs" because MySproc is of course not a named procedure.
So how do I refer to a procedures name using a variable?
Here's my code;
Function LieuBen()
MyCalendar = CurrTSCalendar
Call PopulateTmpFile("sp_DelTmpProctimesheetCalc")
Call PopulateTmpFile("sp_PopTmpCalcLieuBen")
End Function
Function PopulateTmpFile(MySProc As Variant)
Dim sp_PopulateTempOTTable As String
Const DS = "SOS-1"
Const db = "TIMS"
Const DP = "SQLOLEDB"
Dim objConn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim objRs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim objComm As New ADODB.Command
ConnectionString = "Provider=" & DP & _
";Data Source=" & DS & _
";Initial Catalog=" & db & _
";Integrated Security=SSPI;"
' Connect to the data source.

Hello again folks, I've come crying for some more help :(
I have an sql query that runs fairly well and I'd like to make it a stored procedure.
The only hickup here is that I need to be able to send a field name in the select statement as a variable.
SQL Server does not allow this and I'm at a loss for the best way to handle it.
Thx for any help :)
CREATE PROCEDURE spReturnandScoring (@varKeyField as varchar(100),@varRegionID as varchar(10))
AS
Select
@varKeyField,count(*) 'SurveysSent',Sum(SD.return_status) 'SurveysReturned',avg(alScoring.Score) 'SurveyScore'
From
tblSurveyData SD
left join (Select Return_Key,cast(sum(response) as numeric)/cast(count(*) as numeric) as 'Score' from tblResponses RE group by return_key) alScoring on SD.objid = alScoring.Return_Key
Where
Region_ID=@varRegionID
Group By
@varKeyField
Order By
@varKeyField
GO

I need to use a variable for a table name, pass it to a stored procedure that extracts data, and then store the result of the sp in another variable.
For example, earlier in the program I construct the table name using this statement:
@tablename = 'OC_TEMPLATE_' + @FORM. The resulting table name may by something like: OC_TEMPLATE_101
Now I need to use this table name in a statement like this:
SELECT ITEM FROM @TABLENAME WHERE DEX = @REC
If I use code like this, I can get a result, but I can't store it in a variable:
EXECUTE ('SELECT ITEM FROM ' + @TABLENAME + ' WHERE DEX = ' + @REC)
Running this give me a value of 309 in the results pane in Management Studio. 309 is the value I want, but I want to now store that in a variable called @ITEM.
I'm trying to run this as a stored procedure where I pass @tablename and @rec into the proc and I want to return @item as an output parameter with the value of 309 (in this case) in @item. I can't figure out how to configure the proc to give me the output parameter.
Any ideas?

I am working on an mailing list program and I am trying to create a preview option for the sender (to preview their message prior to sending)
I am new to .net and sql but I thought it might be best to do this with table variable inside a stored procedure.. I just do not know how to insert the data into the table variable and select that data at the same time, to return it back to a preview.aspx page.
Please forgive my ignorance..
here is my stored procedure..
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[proc_MessagePreview]
@Subject varchar(150),
@EmailMessage varchar(max)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @MessagePreview Table(Subject varchar(150), EmailMessage varchar(max))
INSERT INTO @MessagePreview (Subject, EmailMessage)
VALUES (@Subject, @EmailMessage)
SELECT Subject, EmailMessage FROM @MessagePreview
END
any suggestion or help to point me in the right direction is appreciated, thanks!
