I have a few stored procs that I use from more than one database. There has to be a place I can put these so I don't have a copy of the proc in each DB, right?
Where do you put them and how do you reference them? Thanks.

Is there a way to namespace groups of stored procs to reduce confusion when using them?
For C# you can have ProjectName.ProjectSection.Classname when naming a class. I am just wondering if there is a way to do the same with SQL stored procs. I know Oracle has packages and the name of the package provides a namespace for all of the stored procs inside it.
HI,
CREATE PROCEDURE PROC1
AS
BEGIN
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC
FROM CUSTOMER A
INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B
ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID
INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C
ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID
WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (6,7,2,3,12,10)
ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID
END
IF I AM USING THIS PROC AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC THEN IT GIVES NO PROBLEM AS I CAN USE ?
CREATE PROCEDURE PROC2
AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #SAATHI(INTCUSTOMERID INT,CHREMAIL NVARCHAR(60),INTPREFERENCEID INT,CHRPREFERENCEDESC NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #SAATHI
EXEC PROC1
ST......1,
ST......2,
END.
BUT IF , I USE ANOTHER PROC SIMILAR TO THE FIRST ONE WHICH GIVES SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT RESULTS AND GIVES TWO SETS OF RESULTS,THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM,HO TO SOLVE THIS :-
CREATE PROCEDURE MY_PROC
AS
BEGIN
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC
FROM CUSTOMER A
INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B
ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID
INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C
ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID
WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (23,12,10)
ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID
END
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 23 then '1'
else '0' end) +
MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 12 then '1'
else '0' end) +
MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 10 then '1'
else '0' end) AS PREFER
FROM CUSTOMER
GROUP BY A.INTCUSTOMERID
ORDER BY A.INTCUSTOMERID
END
WHICH NOW GIVES ME TWO SETS OF DATA , BOTH REQUIRED THEN HOW TO USE ONE SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC AND OTHER SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO YET ANOTHER PROC .
CREATE PROCEDURE PROC2
AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #SAATHI(INTCUSTOMERID INT,CHREMAIL NVARCHAR(60),INTPREFERENCEID INT,CHRPREFERENCEDESC NVARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #SAATHI
EXEC MY_PROC
ST......1,
ST......2,
END.
BUT, HERE I WANT TO USE FIRST DATASET ONLY , HOW TO USE IT ?
THANKS.
How do I search for and print all stored procedure names in a particular database? I can use the following query to search and print out all table names in a database. I just need to figure out how to modify the code below to search for stored procedure names. Can anyone help me out?

almost choked when i read the following recent post on The Daily WTF (http://thedailywtf.com/) the other day --
Logical Tiers? That Makes No Sense! (http://thedailywtf.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=28959)
i don't think i can do justice to how utterly stupid that stored procedure is
read the comments and have a laugh
one of the points made was that stored procedures are bad
this twigged something in my memory, so i dug around in my bookmarks, and sure enough, here's another decent discussion about stored procs --

Hey guys.
I am wondering if it is possible to execute an .exe from a stored proc. I have an application that calls a stored proc and I am wanting for that stored proc to call up an app to show certain results. I have no way of doing this on the application itself as I dont have the source code. So, since I do have access to the SQL I am wondering if it could be done there.
Thanks

First off, this is a cross post which is also located here:
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=34073
Now, with the following stored procs and UDF, the Result is NULL and I cannot figure out why.
What I am doing is calling a stored procedure pass in an OUTPUT variable of type float. This stored proceudre then calls a different stored procedure passing the same OUTPUT variable of type float. The second stored procedure then calls a UDF passing in two variables to be multiplied ans this should set the OUTPUT variable to the result.
The UDF does return the correct result to the interior stored procedure, but the interior stored procedure does not pass the value back to the original stored procudure resultint in a Result value = NULL.
The code is below, just copy / past, execute and you will see exactly what I mean.
Any thoughts?

I am trying to improve my SQL and reduce the number of connections my website is making to the server.
Currently I have a stored procedure that gets all the games (and their details) for a single user which works fine which uses a WHERE userid = @userid which is an Int value.
I now need to create a new procedure which brings back the to all their "friends" (again by their userid). How is it best to do this? I originally tried to do a WHERE userID IN (@userid) but was unable to work out what variable type to use for @userid.
Is it best to do a single query in this way or is there a way to use the existing SP, loop through the collection of userids and join the result together into a single set to return? If an IN is the best route, what is the correct datatype for the variable?
can anyone help me out.... i need to compare a date that was retrieved from the database and the system date then it must be coded in the stored procs of the database.. help!!!!

Hi all!
I am not an expert in Stored Procs. I would like to build one for a product list that would return a default value without using output parameters, if possible. Ultimately, I wouldn't be opposed to it.
It currently looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE ProductsByVendorNo
(
@VendorNum nvarchar(24)
)
AS
SELECT
P.ProductID AS ProductID,
P.ProductShortName AS ProductName,
P.ProductDesc AS ProductDesc,
U.UnitDesc AS Unit,
P.VendorProductNumber AS VendorNumber,
V.VendorName AS VendorName,
P.Price AS Price,
P.ImageThumb AS ImageThumb
FROM
tblProducts AS P
INNER JOIN tblUnitCodes AS U ON P.UnitCode=U.UnitCode
INNER JOIN tblVendors AS V ON P.VendorID=V.VendorID
WHERE
V.VendorsVendorNo = @VendorNum
AND P.Inactive = 0
ORDER BY
ProductName,
VendorNumber
I would like for it to return a default, constant value for the URL in the ImageThumb field, if this one is empty. I could not find good documentation of how to use IF statements for this case, i.e. to alter the return of just one field.
Suggestions?
Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I want to "deny" create, update,and delete access on the dbo stored procs that are in the database, but do not want take away dbo owner access. is this possible?
can i create a role and deny access on a particular table in msdb? or a system table in the user table. Thus preventing the developers on the box access to update any of the dbo owned sp's and have them create their own user-owned stored procs?
this is sql7, sp3, development box.

I am trying to set up a DTS package that selects data from one table on server A into another table on server B. I want to do a select statement that will do the following:
select store_name
from store (server A)
where date_created >= (select max(date_created) from store (server B)
I use EM 7.0 to manage all of my extracts, however, the data is moving from a Syabase (adaptive Server)onto another Syabase(adaptive server) machine.
Unfortunately, there is no functionality for a linked server connection.
I tried the following, (which doesn't error out), but is not displaying the source columns in the destination tab of the DTS package when setting up the transformations.
declare @maxdate datetime
exec serverB.dbo.sp_max_date_from_store @maxdate
select store_name
from store --(server A)
where date_created >= @store
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I will be taking over a database that has almost no pk's or relations(this is not my choice, but a vendors)
Management is looking at stored procs to improve performance, but I am wondering
if the db is in this state will there really be a gain. I am pushing for normalization
first, but if anybody has any ideas or opinions I would appreciate
I have a stored proc that is run periodically which I execute with a DTS package. The problem is that I have to update a field for each record selected by this stored proc with a specific date. I need to prompt the operator for this date so I can use this value.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOk, I've read somewhere(which I'm looking for again : ) that said that there are errors like DeadLock that kills the execution of a stored proc and there are other errors that do not necessarily kill the rest of the execution of the stored proc. Is that true? If so does anyone have any links I can read. What I'm seeing is a bad id in the foreign key and I think what is happening is that there was a unique constraint error on the first insert but the stored proc continued executing and used the bad id later on in the stored proc.
I do know I can use the @@error and will start using it but I need more proof to agree or not agree with my theory.
Thanks ahead of time for any information you can give me either way.

Is there any performance loss by setting up a view and creating a stored procedure to return a recordset from a view versus setting up the stored procedure to return the recordset from the tables directly?
What way should I do this?

Hi all.
First post on here, so please excuse any ignorant parts of my question :)
We've recently had to migrate an application from one server to another, and had lots of problems getting it to work (NT4/SS7 -> 2K3/SS2K5). After much digging around I found the info on SQL server 2k5 changing the SUSER_NAME to SUSER_SNAME (I think from reading the change was actually from SQL Server 2000 - that correct ?).
Anyway I updated some of our stored procedures to correct that issue, and things *seem* to be working again (<-- famous last words, I know :eek: ), but I've been trying to find details of any other changes, particularly command changes, that I may need to make to our stored procedures.
To be honest I've found the info on Microsoft's main site and technet site next to useless - all seems to discuss very generic high-level procedures for database migration etc.. I didn't even find the SUSER change on there.
Could anyone point me to some useful information on other changes to look out for (within the SP's) ??
Thanks in advance for your help, and for taking the time to read this :beer:
Hey yall
I ran into something interesting today and was wondering how one would do this. I have some 3rd party stored procs and one was kicking out a truncate error so I took it upon myself to investigate the stored proc that was kicking out this error. So when I tried viewing the sp, I received an error:*****Encrypted object is not transferable, and script could not be generated.***** and then it brings up a blank editing screen.
First I believe this was a custom error message as it just doesnt seem like the way SQL Server would have presented it.
So how would someone prohibit viewing of a stored proc like this?
Thanks
Hi all
I have a stored proc that runs every 4 hours - as a job. The stored proc takes about 3-5 minutes to comple, depending on number of records.
To do testing we run that stored proc manually, also.
Sometimes 2 or more people may run the same stored proc without knowing that the other person is running. This may create duplicates entries once processed.
What I want to know is, Is there a way to check if that stored procedure is currently running. If so it wont run second time concurrently.
(May be semapohres,mutex or something like that?)
(I am trying not to use a table to store whether the stored proc is running or not)
Thanks in advance.

I wrote a stored procedure and set it as a schedule. it has no problem when I execute this SP in query analyzer. But it will show error when I execute it in schedule job.
I think the main reason is I have created a DDL trigger that will fire when DDL_DATABASE_LEVEL_EVENTS happens. Any solution?
SELECT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 1934). The step failed.
Can someone please point me in the right direction (guidance or url to a utility or article) as to how we can write a script to scan all of the stored procedures in our database for any reference to a field name were are about to change? Also, can we use such a script to do the actual change from the old field name to the new one?
Thanks!
Hello,It might be a basic question, but there it goes:I have a store procedure that first checks if the record exists and, ifit doesn't, inserts the new record.Is the scenario below possible?(thread1) USER1 -> check if record "abc" exists(thread2) USER2 -> check if record "abc" exists(thread1) USER1 -> "abc" doesn't exist(thread2) USER2 -> "abc" doesn't exist(thread1) USER1 -> add "abc" as new record(thread2) USER2 -> add "abc as new record (OPS, this is an error,because "abc" already exists, it was just inserted by USER1)I am wondering if this kind of concurrent, multi-threaded accesshappens with stored procedures.If yes, can I execute a procedure from start to finish without anyother simultaneous procedure interrupting?I appreciate any information about this.Leonardo.

Hi,
I have read in many articles that Dynamic SQL should not be used in Stored Procedures as it is not a Best Practice. So Can anyone tell me how to handle the following scenario without using Dynamic SQL in Procs. The scenario is as follows
I have to write a Procedure which will generate a Report from a Table. For this purpose I have to Select about 20 columns from a Table (lets say Table A). Now the report has 5 filters which are completely optional. I mean the user might fill few of the filters or all the filters or none of the Filters
So can anyone help me out in this scenario because my "where" clause is completely Dynamic and I am unable to understand how to handle my where clause without writing Dynamic Queries. Also I am trying to write this query on SQL Server 2000.
If anyone can give me some examples or articles which can be of help it would be great. Please help

I am having trouble understanding how to correctly use stored procs. Here is what I think the process is. Correct me where I am wrong.
I am developing a read-only program with VB 2005 as a front end and SQL Server back end. The user will enter an ID# for search criteria which will be passed as a parameter to a stored proc. I want to create a stored proc that alters a view by changing the ID# the view filters on. A dataset will be created in the front end from that view.
So in SSMS, I create a new proc like this:
CREATE PROC {blah, blah}
@IDnum
AS
BEGIN
ALTER VIEW {blah, blah}
AS
SELECT {blah, blah}
FROM {blah}
WHERE blah.ID = @IDnum
END
I would run the code to create the proc, then modify it to an ALTER PROC. I've tried this without success. What am I missing. Yes, I am new to this.
Thanks for the help
Hi i have always used views in my code to group common functionality in my sql expressions and then i can simply call these views in my data access layer by saing:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM vw_Documents WHERE CategoryID = @CategoryID", cn);
However my view has become so complicated that i had to convert it to a stored procedure called sp_Documents. The problem now though is that is that i wish to do queries against the data returned but i can't simply say:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM sp_Documents WHERE CategoryID = @CategoryID", cn);
The only way i can see to do it is to create a stored procedure for every single senario i have passing in the appropriate values as parameters. This seems a pretty messy solution to me because i would have repeated logic in all my stored procedures. Therefore i was wondering if there's a simpler way for me to do this or am i just being lazy :).
Appreciate if someone could help,
Hi,
I have a stored procedure that return 0 or 1 row and 10 columns. In my subsequent queries I only need 1 column from those 10 columns. Is there any better way other than creating or declaring temp table and than making a select from that table.
So I am looking int CTE to execute stored procedure and than make a selection from CTE, but CTE does not allow me to execute stored procedure. Is there any other better way of acheiving this.
This is what I want to change:
Declare @Col Varchar(10)
Decalre @TempTable(Col1 Int, Col2 Varchar(10), Col3 Varchar(10), Col4 Varchar(10))
Insert into @TempTable
Exec Procedure @Paramter
select @Col = col2 from @TempTable
INTO
With CTE(Col2, Col3, Col4) AS
(
Exec Procedure @Paramter)
select @Col = col2 from @TempTable

Hi, I'm doing some fairly basic updates with stored procedures. 99% of them affect one row. I've jsut discovered that I can't get the value of @@rowcount and @@error to return as output parameters (if I check one, the other one gets reset!). My theory is then to return the rowcount and if it's not = 1, then I know I've had a problem. If I begin a transaction in vb.net and call each proc in the required order and check each step that rowcount = 1, is this a reliable method of ensuring no errors have occurred?Thanks.

I'm having an issue trying to send parameters to a SQLDatasource object. I"m creating it in code (and I need it to stay there) I have determined that the stored procs called with no parameters work fine. I start having problems when I have any parameters. Interestingly, it doesn't crash. It just fails to run (the onselected event never fires).
dsUser is a protected SQLDatasource property
repMain is a repeater on the aspx sheet
lstUser is a stored proc with one varchar(10) parameter called cSort
Here is my current code that will result in no called to StatementCompleted and no data. Pull cSort parameter from the proc and it works just fine. Obviously I'm setting it wrong.
string cSelect = "dbo.lstUser";
dsUser = new SqlDataSource();
dsUser .ConnectionString = GetConStr();
dsUser .SelectCommand = cSelect;
dsUser .SelectParameters.Add( "cSort", TypeCode.String, "" );
dsUser .Selected += StatementCompleted;
repMain.DataSource = dsUser ;
TIA,
