I am imagining something you might pass the names of 2 stored procs (an old version and new one), and a query to produce valid parameters. It would then fire off each proc for a set number of executions, while storing off the results in temp tables, and at the end it would do a data compare, and store off performance data from dynamic management views.
Now I know how to get the parameters for a stored procedure out of the catalogue views, but is SQL Server aware at all of the schema of the results of stored procedures that return result sets, becuase I was thinking of doing something like...
INSERT INTO #datacompare(col1,col2) EXEC mystoredprocedure
... but I can not seem to figure out how to dynamically gather the schema of the result set.
Hi, I'm try to get the query second column value when it is assinged to a varchar variable. Ex:In SP below is statement I wrote SET @Values = (SELECT COL1,COL2 FROM TABLE) Question 1: How to access the COL2 value from @Value2? Question 2: How to access the other row values if above returns more than a row? Please send me the solution as soon as possible. Thanks-Vikash/Bala
I have a stored procedure where I run an insert statement. I want to knwo if it is possible to do it using a variable for the table name (either in-line or with an EXEC statement without building a string first and executing that string. See examples of what I am talking about in both cases below:
I want to be able to do this (with or without the EXEC) : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECLARE @NewTableNameOut as varchar(100)
Set @NewTableNameOut = 'TableToInsertInto'
EXEC( Insert Into @NewTableNameOut Select * From tableToSelectFrom )
I can not do the above because it says I need to declare/set the @NewTableNameOut variable (assuming it is only looking at this for the specific insert statement and not at the variable I set earlier in the stored procedure.
I can do it like this by creating a string with the variable built into the string and then executing the string but I want to know if I can do it like I have listed above.
It is not an issue for my simple example above but I have some rather large queries that I am building and I want to run as described above without having to build it into a string.
The following code is a part of my stored procedure MySP. I would like to update Users table with input variable @userIDs which has the following format:
101, 102, 103
I got the error message:
Syntax error converting the varchar value '101, 102, 103' to a column of data type int.
Obviously, UserID has datatype int. How can I write this SP?
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MySP @userIDs varchar(100) AS SET NOCOUNT ON
BEGIN TRANSACTION
UPDATE Users SET IsActive = 1 WHERE UserID IN (@userIDs)
IF @@ERROR <> 0 ROLLBACK TRANSACTION ELSE COMMIT TRANSACTION
I have a stored procedure that generates some data and dumps it into a table. I need to export data using bcp based on the data that this procedure creates. So I know how to use bcp but don't know how to execute the procedure and pass it the two variables that it needs. I googled it and sqlcmd looks promising but can get the syntax right. The two variables are the current year and school number ie. 1112, 0021.
how to catch batch id from a running stored procedure. My intention is that when we run store procedures in batch we are running a lot of procedures and I would like to log each run and if the same procedure is running several times per day I need to separate the runs by a "batch id" for the specific run. I have created a logtable and a logprocedure that logs the start and end of a procedure run and also some values for the run. So I'm trying to find a way of fetching the "batch id" that the sp is running so I can separate the runs when analyzing the logtable. I have looked at metadata tables and also in the table sys.sysprocesses but I cannot find BATCH ID.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Simple example:    declare @tTable(col1 int)    insert into @tTable(col1) values (1)    select * from @tTable

I have create a batch file to execute a stored proc to import data.
When I run it from the server (Remote Desktop) it works fine, but if I share the folder and try to run it from my pc, it doesn't do anything. I don't get an error, it just doesn't do anything. My windows user has admin rights in SQL. Why is it not executing from my PC?
Im just wondering... is there any way to have dynamic table names, so that, say for instance, i have 4 stored procedures, that all do the same thing, just to four different tables. is there any way to have 1 stored procedure, and pass through the table name???
Adding the four statements into one statement is not an option, as i only need to execute one at a time..., not all four at once...
Hi all,Seems like a fundamental question to me but I dont have a definiteanswer for it, Gurus please enlighten me.I have a table 'Table1' whose structure changes dynamically based onsome configuration values from another table. This table is being usedby a program, It was initially used by this program which ran as asingle task (executing at only a specific interval) but now the programhas to be run mutiple times some coinciding with each othe - whichmeant that table structure will change as 2 programs are runningsimultaneously... and therefore I have decided to use seperate tablenames that each has a structure of its now.I use this table name 'Table1' in about 10-15 stored procedures andUDF'sto make the long story short: Since I will not know which table I willbe using in the program I want to pass the table name as an argument tothe SP and UDF's and then access this param in the'select's/updates/inserts' - but this doesn't work unless I use DynamicSQL.Is there any other way of passing table names as parameters and thenusing then in the procs?any ideas will be really helpful.adi
I'm struggling with this one. We have a Street database that can contain multiple entries for one record in our main table. We don't wish to pass duplicate rows back to our end user so I wish to get distinct recno's (the unique identifier for the main table) back from our Street Table.
We have a stored procedure that currently uses Select distinct Recno but I think this is slower than if I used a unique index with ignore_dup_key. Problem is that when I alter the stored procedure it looks like the functionality of the LIKE function is somehow altered. For example Like 'King%' fails to return anything but Like 'King St%' does. I suspect it is the fact that the error "Server: Msg 3604, Level 16, State 1, Procedure" is being generated. How do I code around this server side.
I would like to use variables to set the table name and some column names of a SQL Query in a stored procedure (the variable values will come from a webpage)... something like this:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.usp_SelectWorkHours @DayName varchar,@DayIDName varchar AS BEGINSELECT @DayName.InTime1, @DayName.OutTime1, @DayName.InTime2, @DayName.OutTime2 FROM @DayName INNER JOINWorkHours ON @DayName.@DayIDName = @DayName.@DayIDName INNER JOINEmployees ON WorkHours.WorkHoursID = Employees.WorkHoursID END RETURN ...is this possible?? if so how? Thanks
I have a stored procedure which bulk inserts records into a table based on a passed in variable that contains comma separated values of record Ids.
However I have a constraint on the table ensuring that value-pairs in 2 columns must be unique (as a person can not be twice on the same project)
Since I insert the passed in person Ids in a loop, I’d like to catch if this constraint has been violated and skip that specific cycle if it has but do commit the rest.
Not sure if this can be done, and if yes could someone let me know the SQL syntax and structure please?
Am I explaining this clearly?
Thanks in advance all comments are much appreciated!
I need to check whether procedure found any matches or not. If not it has to return the column name where matching value was not found. For example, if there was no record found in the table "Addresses" column "customer" with the value @username, it should return "street". If id with value @prod_id was not found in the table "Products", the "productname" must be returned as well.
CREATE PROC sp_test @id INT, @username VARCHAR(50), @prod_id INT AS
SELECT name FROM Customers WHERE id=@id SELECT street FROM Addresses WHERE customer=@username SELECT productname FROM Products WHERE id=@prod_id
It is kind of check, which has to find out if users have inserted all the necessary values or not. Thanks for any advice.
hello . i have a grid for a table that gets updated with recordset.updatebatch for a multi-user application.
the problem is that some of the table fields have to be unique
now imagine the next situation.
user A opens the form user B opens the form user A writes '1000' in the unique field user A saves the recordset with updatebatch
user B writes '1000' in the unique field user B saves the recordset with updatebatch
now there will be two records with the field '1000' !
how can i avoid this ? i cannot check for unique during the update event of the grid because it should check during the time it is saving and not when it is just entering data without having updated the recordset
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...
Hi ! I have a problem with the unique identifier and don't know how to solve it. I have a stored procedure, called from my ASP.NET page, which inserts a new record into a table. I need to get the Id of the row just inserted in order to use it as a parameter of another stored procedure which inserts a new row with this value and other values. I tried with SCOPE_IDENTITY but i don't know how to ask for this value to the first stored procedure and stored it into an ASP variable. Dim cmd As New SqlCommand cmd.CommandText = "Insertar_Contacto" cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmd.Connection = connect Thanks!!
hi how can I set my variable value with a query??? I am about to make a procedure to get a comma seperatet array and insert into the table. if I omit ID (primary key) and set it as Identity every thing is ok but I don't want it to be Identity. so I have to find the max of ID and then add it to the first of my comma seperated values. the problem is I have a table name as nvarchar in the parameters. so I have to first make a query as string and then execute it. anyway I need to get the value of the query string and assingn @ID variable to it's return value. how can I do it? so just suppose that I have @Values, @TableName (values are in the right order) then I want to find max(ID)+1 in @TableName (something like "select max(id)+1 from @TableName" I know that it will not work. so I make a string and execute it ) and add it to the first of my @Values then my problem will solve thank you in advance regards
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
Hi everybody, i have a problem and i hope anyone can help me. I write a sp thayt include some variables. One of it is nvarchar(max) (because i think needed value is too big). Unfortunately, that variable is really too big (about 1000000 chars). It is out of bound of nvarchar(max). How can i do?? Please help me because i am working in it and it is too late now. Thanks.
