Variable As Column In Cursor Select
Jun 7, 2004
I can't seem to get a cursor to work when I'm passing in a variable for a column name of the select statement. For example:
declare @col varchar(50)
set @col = 'Temperature'
declare notifycurs cursor scroll for
select @col from Table
Obviously this won't work correctly (since the result will simply be 'Temperature' instead of the actual float value for temperature). I tried to use quotes for the entire statement with an EXEC
(ie. exec('select '+@col+' from Table' )
but that gave me an error.
Is there a way to pass in a variable for a column name for a curor select statement????

I'm trying to build a select statement for a CURSOR where part of the SQL statement is built using a variable.
The following fails to parse:
Declare Cursor1 Cursor
For
'select table_name from ' + @database + '.Information_Schema.Tables Where Table_Type = ''Base Table'' order by Table_Name'
Open cursor1
That doesn't work, I've also tried using an Execute() statement, no luck there either. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hi
I am ramesh here from go-events.com
I am using sql mail to send out emails to my mailing list
I have difficulty combining a select statement with a where clause stored in a variable inside a cursor
The users select the mail content and frequency of delivery and i deliver the mail
I use lots of queries and a stored procedure to retrieve thier preferences. In the end i use a cursor to send out mails to each of them.
Because my query is dynamic, the where clause of my select statement is stored in a variable. I have the following code
that does not work
For example
DECLARE overdue3 CURSOR
LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY
FOR SELECT DISTINCT Events.E_Name, Events.E_SDate, Events.E_City, Events.E_ID FROM Events, IndustryEvents + @sqlquery2
OPEN overdue3
I get an error message at the '+' sign
which says, cannot use empty object or column names, use a single
space if necessary
How do I combine the select statement with the where clause?
Help me...I need help urgently

Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int
Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000
Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)
Set @Counter = 0
while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount
begin
Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter)
set @Counter = @Counter + 1
end
Insert into @Type(Name)
Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: GMC'
Insert into @Source(Name)
Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: USA'
Insert into @Users(Name)
Select 'keith' UNION ALL
Select 'kevin' UNION ALL
Select 'chris' UNION ALL
Select 'chad' UNION ALL
Select 'brian'
select
1 ProviderId, -- static value
'' Identifier,
'' ClassificationCode,
(select TOP 1 Name from @Source order by newid()) Source,
(select TOP 1 Name from @Type order by newid()) Type
from @NumericBase
SET NOCOUNT OFF

I'm not sure about this one so if someone could help I'd appreciate this.
As shown below I've declared a variable name1 to be used in a while statement substituting for an object name in a select statement (2000 SP3a)
and throwing the shown error. Are variables allowed to be used to substitute for object names or is there another problem? Thanks.

I am currently using a cursor to scroll through sysobjects to extract table names and then extracting relevant column names from syscolumns.
I then need to run the following script:
declare Detail_Cursor cursor for
select @colname, max(len(@colname)) from @table
The message I receive is "must declare variable @table".
Immediately prior to this script I printed out the result of @table which works fine so the variable obviously is declared and populated.
Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong or how I can get the same result.
Thanks

Hi,
I have a problem on setting the value for the variable in a declared cursor. Below is my example, I have declared the cursor c1 once at the top in a stored procedure and open it many times in a loop by setting the variable @str_var to different values. It seems the variable cannot be set after the cursor declared. Please advise how can I solve this issue.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECLARE @str_var VARCHAR(10)
DECLARE @field_val VARCHAR(10)
DECLARE c1 CURSOR LOCAL FOR
SELECT field1 FROM tableA WHERE field1 = @str_var
WHILE (Sometime TRUE)
BEGIN
....
SET @str_var = 'set to some values, eg. ABC123, XYZ123'
OPEN c1
FETCH c1 INTO @field_val
WHILE (@@fetch_status != -1)
BEGIN
PRINT @field_val
...
FETCH c1 INTO @field_val
END
CLOSE c1
END
DEALLOCATE c1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks a lots,
Vincent

Hi,
I need a small help. In my stored procedure, i create a table variable and fill it with records based on my query. The ID field within the table is not continous and can have any value in increasing order .e.g. The ID sequence may be like 20, 33, 34, 59, 78, 79... I want to iterate through each record within the table but without using a Cursor. I want to use a loop for this purpose. There are many articles pointing out how to iterate through records in a table variable but that requires the IDs to be continous which is not possible in my case. Can anyone help me solve this problem...
Any help is appreciated...

When I execute next query on sqlserver 6.5 nested in stored procedure I can see that 'open testCursor' selected rows using new value of @var. When I execute query on sqlserver 7.0 I can see that 'open testCursor' selected rows using value of @var before 'declare ... cursor'. Is there any way to force sqlserver 7.0 to proccess cursor like it did it before.
select @var = oldValue
declare testCursor cursor
for select someColumns
from someTable
where someColumn = @var
select @var = newValue
open testCursor
fetch next from testCursor into @someColumns
Thank's in advance.

I'm trying something like:
UPDATE tbl SET @varFieldName = @varValue
The procedure runs, and when I PRINT @varFieldName, it looks fine, but the table isn't getting updated, and no errors, wierd.
I have the CURSOR open for update, but I didn't list the field names, that shouldn't be a problem, as all fields should be updateable then.
To get the field name, I :
SET @varFieldName = 'SomeChars' + LTRIM(STR(asmallint)) + 'SomeMoreChars'
Thanks,
Carl

I am using a cursor (i know - but this is actually something that is a procedural loop).
So effectively i have a table of names of stored procedures. I now have a store proc that loops around these procs and runs each one in order.
Now i am thinking i would like to be able to set the table it loops around in a variable at the start - is it possible to do this? So effectively use a tablename in a variable to use in the sql to define a cursor?

The below cursor is giving an error
DECLARE @Table_Name NVARCHAR(MAX) ,
@Field_Name NVARCHAR(MAX) ,
@Document_Type NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @SOPCursor AS CURSOR;
SET
@SOPCursor = CURSOR FOR
[Code] ....
The @Table_Name variable is declared, If I replace the delete statement (DELETE FROM @Table_Name ) with (PRINT @table_name) it works and print the table names.
Why does the delete statement give an error ?

Hi All,
I failed to find record when using variable in cursor in WHERE clause:
ID is uniqueidentifier field in the table
DECLARE @EncounterID uniqueidentifier
........
WHERE ID = @EncounterID -> this does not work, though @EncounterID is set properly and can see its value in debugger
WHERE ID = 'E3AE2C5B-06F2-4A3C-A3A4-7D6CC43DE012' -> this works fine and record found
Tried to CAST(@EncounterID as char(40)) but still no luck.
I would greatly appreciate any advise hot to make it working.
Thank you very much in advance

Hi all.
I am stuck in a bit of a conundrum for quite a while now, and I hope someone here will help me figure this one out.
So, first things first: let me explain what I need to do. I am
designing a web application that will allow users to consult info
available in a SQL2000 database. The user will enter the search
criterea, and hopefully the web page will show matching results.
The problem is the results shown aren't available per se in the DB, I
need to process the data a bit. I decided to do so on the SQL Server
side, though the use of cursors. So, when a user defines his search
criteria, I run a stored procedure that begins by building a dynamic
sql query and creating a cursor for it. I used a global cursor in order
to do so. It looked something like this:
SET @sqlQuery = ... (build the dinamic sql query)
SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE myCursor CURSOR GLOBAL FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery
EXEC @cursorQuery
OPEN myCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor INTO ...
CLOSE myCursor
DEALLOCATE myCursor
This works fine, if there's only one instance of the
stored procedure running at a time. Should another user connect to the
site and run a search while someone's at it, it'll fail due to the
atempt to create a cursor with the same name.
My first thought was to make the cursor name unique, which led me to:
...
SET @cursorName = 'myCursor' + @uniqueUserID
SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE '+ @cursorName + 'CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery
EXEC @cursorQuery
...
The problem with this is that I can't do a FETCH NEXT FROM @cursorName since
@cursorName is a char variable holding the cursor name, and not a
cursor variable. So to enforce this unique name method the only option
I have is to keep creating dynamic sql queries and exucting them. And
this makes the sp a bitch to develop and maintain, and I'm guessing it
doesn't make it very performant.
So I moved on to my second idea: local cursor variables. The problem with
this is that if I create a local cursor variable by executing a dynamic
query, I can't extract it from the EXEC (or sp_executesql) context, as
it offers no output variable.
I guess my concrete questions are:
Is it possible to execute a dynamic sql query and extract a (cursor) variable from it?Is it possible to populate a local cursor variable with a global cursor, by providing the global cursor's name?Can I create a local cursor variable for a dynamic sql query? How?
Anybody sees another way arround this?Thanks in advance,
Carlos

buddies,situation: a processing must take place on every row of a table, andoutput results to another table, that can't be done via an insertinto..select query (let's assume that it's not possible for now).There're 2 solutions I have in mind:1) open a cursor and cycle through each row (The table can have up to1M rows)2) create a clustered index (i.e on an identity column) then have aloop like:declare @i int, @rows int,@col1 varchar(20), @col2 varchar(20),... @coln varchar(20),@outval1 varchar(20),... -- output valuesselect @i=1, @rows = max(xid) from tblname -- xid is clustered indexedwhile (@i<=@rows)beginselect @col1 = col1, @col2 = col2,...@coln = colnfrom tblnamewhere xid = i-- do the processing on the variables-- then insert results to another tableset @i = @i+1endI'd like to know your ideas of which one would be more efficient. Anyother solutions are much appreciatedthanks,Tamy

Hi...
I have a stored procedure that rertrieves data from an sql database
and sends out a mail to each receipient who meets the criteria
I am using SQL mail.
I dynamically generate the where clause for my sql query based on criteria taken
from other stored procedures and store it in a varchar variable
called @sqlquery
When i have the following code to run my cursor
DECLARE overdue3 CURSOR
LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY
FOR SELECT DISTINCT Events.E_Name, Events.E_SDate, Events.E_City,
Events.E_ID FROM Events, IndustryEvents + @sqlquery2
OPEN overdue3
I get an error message at the '+' sign
which says, cannot use empty object or column names, use a single
space if necessary.
What should i do. i have tested the variable @sqlquery and it is
definately not blank. There is no bracket error or anything.
Please help!!!
Thanks much indeed

I have to convert the rel_code into a specific manner so the data will look as below in TableB:
ssn sex dob rel_code
111111111 m 19500403 01
111111111 f 19570908 02
111111111 f 19770804 20
111111111 f 19801203 21 111111111 f 19869712 22
111111111 m 19870907 30
111111111 m 19901211 31
Member's rel_code = 01
spouse's rel_code = 02
daughter's rel_code starts from 20 with the oldest and increments by 1.
Son's rel_code starts from 30 and increments by 1 from oldest to the youngest.
I know You can write a Sp with cursor and do this, but I would like to know if you can accomplish the same thing by a select or case or something else instead of a cursor.
Thanks in advance.
Jannat.

Hi all
I am trying to do dynamic Select for Cursor. The dynamic would be like this:
IF CONDITION1 IS TRUE:
SELECT CustomerTenderID, CustomerSiteID, ContractPeriod, SupplierID
FROM dbo.tnd_TenderSiteRateConsumptionView
WHERE CustomerTenderID = @CustomerTenderID
IF CONDITION2 IS TRUE:
SELECT CustomerTenderID, CustomerSiteID, ContractPeriod, SupplierID
FROM dbo.tnd_TenderSiteRateConsumptionView
WHERE CustomerTenderID = @CustomerTenderID AND
CustomerSiteID = @CustomerSiteID
etc etc
Here's the cursor
DECLARE RateList CURSOR FOR
SELECT CustomerTenderID, CustomerSiteID, ContractPeriod, SupplierID
FROM dbo.tnd_TenderSiteRateConsumptionView
WHERE (BASED ON CONDITION)
ORDER BY CustomerTenderID,
CustomerSiteID,
SupplierID,
ContractPeriod
OPEN RateList
FETCH NEXT FROM RateList
INTO@CustomerTenderID, @ReturnedCustomerSiteID, @ReturnedContractPeriod, @ReturnedSupplierID
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET @rowNum = @rowNum + 1
-- DO SOME FUNKY STUFF
FETCH NEXT
FROM RateList
INTO@CustomerTenderID, @ReturnedCustomerSiteID, @ReturnedContractPeriod, @ReturnedSupplierID

I need to dynamically construct the field order of a cursor based on fixed labels from another table, but when I put that resulting query I receive the error:
Server: Msg 16924, Level 16, State 1, Line 78
Cursorfetch: The number of variables declared in the INTO list must match that of selected columns.
I have 6 fields defined in the cursor select, and 6 parameters in the fetch. The results of running the @sql portion returns valid data. Should this be possible to define a parameter containing the select clause of the cursor?
select colnum, coldesc, colname into #ae_defs from ae_adefs
select @Sql = (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NAME') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NUMBER') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'ACCOUNT NUMBER') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT DATE') +
', ' +
(select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'VISIT TYPE') +
', DocID from ae_dtl1'
DECLARE myCursor CURSOR FOR
Select @SQL
OPEN myCursor
print @@Cursor_rows
FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor into @var1, @var2, @var3, @var4, @var5, @DocID

I have problems to place my variable into the select statement.
DECLARE @DB_NAME varchar(64)
DECLARE MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor CURSOR FOR
select name from dbo.sysdatabases where name like '%MR_req%'
OPEN MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor
INTO @DB_NAME
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
print @DB_NAME; --works fine
Select NAME, FILEDIRECTORY FROM @DB_NAME.MR_ReqPro.RQDOCUMENTS WHERE (FILEDIRECTORY LIKE '%\%');
FETCH NEXT FROM MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor INTO @DB_NAME
END
CLOSE MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor
DEALLOCATE MR_ReqPro_DB_cursor
GO
How could i use a variable like @DB_Name in my select ?
