I'm very new to SQL Server. Please help. I need to create a FUNCTION that creates a view. Then call this function in a SQL which is passed as a parameter to BCP. In Oracle, it would be something like:
create function CREATEVIEW
return number as
begin
create view SampleView as SELECT a,b,c from Mytable;
return 1;
when others then return 0; -- for exception handling
end:
create function DROPVIEW
return number as
begin
Drop view SampleView;
return 1;
when others then return 0; -- for exception handling
end:
Then my BCP will have something like:
BCP "select CREATEVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..
then
BCP "select * from SampleView"... QUERYOUT ..
then drop the view again:
BCP "select DROPVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..
I know there is no DUAL table in SQL SERVER. I just want to know how to code this in SQL Server.
The origin of my problem is that my SQL statement is too long to fit as BCP parameter, hence, am creating a view and reading there and dropping it again. If you can provide me with a better workaround, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
The following are the output lines from my code which is constructing some T-SQL queries on the fly. The query highlighted in yellow is the problem query. The code upto the problem query is working correctly and I am able to see the output tables in the Query Analyzer
STEP 1 : Create 3 Tables In Dynamic T-SQL : Showing 3 Strings from Exec statement

Problem Definition
Part 1
The update query is trying to retrieve a value in a dynamically constructed table. ##STVR_FLOAT_Test_word28July2007185548990201 (1 column var_val , 1 row)
Update <Table_Name> set t = @var_val where t > @var_val The update query is simple, except I need to "SELECT" @var_val from the dynamic table
The @var_val is a float value.
I have outputted the contents of the table that is holding the @temp_val variable It has the correct value and the table has only 1 row and 1 column.
WHAT IS THE SYNTAX OF A QUERY TO SELECT A SINGLE VALUE FROM A TEMP TABLE WITH ONLY 1 ROW OR COLUMN AND USE THE SELECTED VALUE AS A VARIABLE IN AN UPDATE STATEMENT
I got a situation in which I would like to create a Views which is using my Test database (Could use more then one test database), but when I test It I would like to create using my Production database (Which is different Database name). Is there any way so that I can pass a parameter at run time which hold a Database name and create those views using that parameter. Any help really appreciated
I am using dynamic sql in my report. I cannot see the sql the report is generating in sql profiler. Is there somewhere else I can view it? Thanks, Linda
Hi i have a problem i have the following Trans SQL statement in afunctionSET @desc= (Select description From table Where id = @id)Now i want to make table dynamic. Something like thisSET @desc= (Select description From @table Where id = @id)Yeah yeah i know i can't do this:SET @desc= EXEC('Select description From '+ @table + ' Where id = '+@id)is not possibleWriting to a temporary table is prohibited by functions. But i need afunction because i want to use the result in a query..Can someone help me?Hennie
I have a procedure that creates a large dynamic view of several tables. The view is a union view of up to 15 tables. The table names are all <name>_DDMM where name is the standard table name and ddmm is the day and month of the tables data. The tables are created by a software supplied by another company, so I can not ensure that the tables will always have exactly the same fields or number of fields. Sometimes the company will add more fields to the tables in thier updates. So, I have to include the field names in the SQL exec command to create the query. This makes for a very long exec command and depending on the number of tables it needs to include, it can require upwards of a 16,000 character string. Obviously, this can't work, so I had to break up the variable in order to create the procedure. However, I'm wondering if there isn't a better method than creating three different 8000 varchar variables and having overflow write to the next variable in line. Especially if the number of tables needs to be expanded, it could be a problem. Is there a better way to run a create view exec command on a large number of characters?
EDIT: Changed the title to read Procedurally generating a large view.
Hi all, I have a sql problem i'd like to put to the masses because its driving me crazy! Before I start, this is a database i inherited so I cant change the schema. I have a table which holds field information for a form, namely the table name, column name and some other irrelevant stuff (X/Y coordinates for printing onto a document). Here is some sample data to explain better: TableName FieldName Xpos Ypos ---------- --------- ----- ----- FruitTable FruitName 10 20 VegTable VegName 10 40 FruitTable FruitColour 20 10 (Thats not the real data of course) What I need is a calculated field which returns the value of each field from each table – probably by constructing a dynamic sql statement(?) It would look something like this: Select @FieldName From @TableName Where bla bla bla – don’t worry about the where clause. The completed dataset will hopefully then look like this: TableName FieldName Xpos Ypos FieldValue (calculated field) ---------- --------- ----- ----- --------- FruitTable FruitName 10 20 Oranges (result of: Select FruitName From FruitTable Where....) VegTable VegName 10 40 Parsnips (result of: Select VegName From VegTable Where....) FruitTable FruitColour 20 10 Green (result of: Select FruitColour From FruitTable Where....)
I have tried creating a scalar-valued function which takes TableName and FieldName as parameters and creates a dynamic sql string, but i cannot seem to execute the sql once I have built it. Here is a general idea of how I was trying to use the function: Main query:Select TableName, FieldName, Xpos, Ypos, dbo.GetFieldValue(TableName, FieldName) As FieldValue From tblFieldAndPosition---------------Function: CREATE FUNCTION GetFieldValue (@TableName nvarchar(255),@FieldName nvarchar(255))
RETURNS nvarchar(255) AS BEGIN
Declare @SQL nvarchar(max) Set @SQL = 'Select ' + @FieldName + ' From ' + @TableName
sp_executesql @SQL??
return ???
END ------------------------- The alternative to getting this data all out at once is contructing the sql statement in code and going back to the database once for every row - which i really dont want to do. If anyone has had a situation like this before, or can point me in the right direction I will be very very grateful. Hope thats clear. Thanks in advance
i want to know if i can use dynamic sql in a function like this:
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[udf_GetGradeAvgByNewHireID] @CourseIDs VARCHAR(MAX), @NewHireID INT ) RETURNS INT AS BEGIN
/* 1. The CourseIDs passed to this function will be in the form ",1,2,3," 2. Replace the first and last comma with () so we will have "(1,2,3)" 3. Use this with the IN clause to filter out the right classes for these IDs */
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(MAX);
--grade average DECLARE @GradeAvg INT;
--formatting the string to be in the form (1,2,3) from ,1,2,3,4, SET @CourseIDs = '|' + @CourseIDs + '|'; SET @CourseIDs = REPLACE(@CourseIDs,'|,','('); SET @CourseIDs = REPLACE(@CourseIDs,',|',')');
SET @SQL = 'SELECT @GradeAvg = AVG(NHC.Class_Grade) FROM New_Hires_Classes NHC INNER JOIN Classes Cls ON NHC.Class_ID=Cls.Class_ID WHERE Cls.Course_ID IN ' + @CourseIDs + ' AND NHC.New_Hire_ID=@NewHireID'; EXECUTE @SQL
RETURN @GradeAvg
becase when i try to call this function from the query i get this error:
The name 'SELECT @GradeAvg = AVG(NHC.Class_Grade) FROM New_Hires_Classes NHC INNER JOIN Classes Cls ON NHC.Class_ID=Cls.Class_ID WHERE Cls.Course_ID IN (1,2,3,4,5,6) AND NHC.New_Hire_ID=@NewHireID' is not a valid identifier.

Basically, I'm working on a stored procedure which will retrieve data based on study parameter passed. The datasource is 'Views'. The name of the view is same for every study except that there is corresponding study name included. For example the views names are something like this for study abc 'v_abc_form' and for study def 'v_def_form'.
Below is the select statement I'm trying to use by declaring @study variable but not able to succeed. I'm not sure how to make the table name dynamic.
I have recently had to optimise a site. The DMVs are useful in establihing which queries are taking the longest to run but the data is skewed as it takes into account all queries than have run ever. This is not as useful as profiling a site which in fact I used.
Is there a way to clear all the data returned by the DMVs. This would be useful as all the data could be cleared and then I could just check the DMV every week.
SELECT * FROM dbo.Objects WHERE (UserRights & dbo.GetUserRights()) > 0)
The purpose of this view is to implement row level security. The Field, UserRights is a BigInt and holds up to 64 bits corresponding to the user or group that has a right to view this record.
The Function GetUserRights() is a function which returns an Int corresponding to the user rights of the person who is currently logged in. In a bitwise fashion, it then "ands" them together to see if the value is greater than 0. If so, the user has rights to the record.
If I hardcode a value to replace the function, the Select statement is very fast. However, if I use the function it is extremely slow. I believe this is due to the function getting run once for each row of the table, instead of just once.
Is there a way to rewrite this so that it only runs once? I could do this in a stored procedure, but I need it in a view so that I can use replace "Objects" (the table) with "vwObjects" the view.
Is it possible to write dynamic sql on scalar function and assign the value to return value? I like some thing like below but it is not working... Thanks ______________________________________________________________________ set @sql = 'select @CallLegKey= min(calllegkey) as CallLegKey from rt_'+@platform+'_CallLegs where datediff(day,convert(datetime, CallEndTime) ,'''+cast(@today as varchar(20))+''') = '+cast(@cutoff as varchar(5)) exec @sql
I would like to use a dynamic pivot table in my data source view. It seems that a named query can be only one sql statement. So, I cannot use my multi-statement procedure that creates a dynamic pivot table output.
What is the best course of action here? I could hard-code my pivot table query. I could maintain a redundant table in the pivot format. Do I have any good options?
Hi, Is there anyway to create a view within a Function? The code is as below. I execute the code between "BEGIN" and "END". SQL Analyzer report error that said
'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch.
I could make the variable constant in SELECT statement, but I'm wondering if there is a way to make CREATE VIEW as part of code piece.
CREATE Function GetCommonFailurs() AS BEGIN IF OBJECT_ID(N'CommonFailures') IS NOT NULL DROP VIEW CommonFailures DECLARE @Run1Result as char(4), @Run2Result as char(4); SET @Run1Result='Fail'; SET @Run2Result='Fail'; CREATE VIEW CommonFailures AS SELECT Run1Failures.RunID as Run1ID, Run2Failures.RunID as Run2ID, @Run1Result as 'Run1Result', @Run2Result as 'Run2Result', Run1Failures.SmartyDOTXMLFilePath as Run1SmartyFilePath, Run2Failures.SmartyDOTXMLFilePath as Run2SmartyFilePath, Run1Failures.SDET as SDET, Run1Failures.CommandLine as CommandLine, Run1Failures.OutputFilePath as OutputFilePath FROM Run1Failures INNER JOIN Run2Failures ON Run1Failures.TestID = Run2Failures.TestID END
I am looking for assistance coming up with a function (or maybe not a function if there is a better way) to make the Status column in my order table dynamic. The default value for new records will always be "1" to designate a quote. At this point the field is not dynamic. Once the customer confirms the order, the user needs to execute a command to change the status to "3" to designate a Confirmed order. At this point the field needs to be dynamic based on the shipping records. There are two order details tables. One for sales items and one for rental items. Each of these details tables has their own shipping record. the CheckInOut Tables are for rental while the Ship tables are for sales. So, if some (but not all) of the items in either of these order details tables has a shipping record associated with it, then the status should be changed to "5". If everything has been shipping, the status is changed to "4". If everything has been shipping but some items have been returned, the status is "6" if everything has been shipping and all of the RentalDetail items have been returned then the status is "7" and if there is any other combination of a variety of ships and returns, the status is "8". Also, at any time, the user needs to be able to execute a command to change the value to "2". once the value is changed to "2" the field stops being dynamic again.
Below are my tables creation commands.
CREATE TABLE OrderHeader ( OrderID int identity primary key, Status int, StartDate datetime, EndDate datetime )--Use Type 1 = "Quote" Type 2 = "Cancelled" Type 3 = "Confirmed", Type 4 = "Shipped", Type 5 = "Part Shipped", Type 6 = "Part Returned", Type 7 = "Returned, Type 8 = "Mixed" CREATE TABLE OrderRentalDetail ( OrderRentalDetailID int identity primary key, OrderID int FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES OrderHeader(OrderID), ItemName varchar(30), Qty int, SiteID int, ) CREATE TABLE CheckInOutHeader ( CheckInOutID int identity primary key, Type int, SiteID int, ActionDate datetime )--Use Type 1 = "Ship" Type 2 = "Return" Type 3 = "Lost" CREATE TABLE CheckInOutDetail ( CheckInOutDetailID int identity primary key, CheckInOutID int NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES ShipHeader(ShippingID), OrderRentalDetailID int, Qty int ) CREATE TABLE OrderSalesDetail ( OrderSalesDetailID int identity primary key, OrderID int FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES OrderHeader(OrderID), ItemName varchar(30), Qty int, SiteID int, ) CREATE TABLE ShipHeader ( ShippingID int identity primary key, Type int, SiteID int, ActionDate datetime )--Use Type 1 = "Ship" Type 2 = "Return" CREATE TABLE ShipDetail ( ShipDetailID int identity primary key, ShippingID int NOT NULL FOREIGN KEY REFERENCES ShipHeader(ShippingID), OrderSalesDetailID int, Qty int )
Tab_Name & Load_Status columns provides the information about Name of table and status of data getting loaded to this table.
To this I would like to add a column to display the running count in the table, I mean how many records so far loaded, as below the recordCount coming from the same table tbl_collection
Is there a way in 2005 to script out, directly, a funciton/SP/View or whatever and not have it binary? I used to be able to script something out in 2000 and it would be text and then I could check it into sourcesafe NP and as you know text is much easier to use the compair feature against than binary. Is there a setting in SQL 2005 to handle this? Is it something in Sourcesafe that I need to set?
Hello. I'm a real newbie - using Access 2003 front end and connecting to SQL Server 2005 ODBC. I'm having trouble accessing functions through access. I've built the following function:

I understand now I can create a view of the function Simply by using the function name in my FROM statement. However I get an error that arguments provided do not match parameters required. However, I'm not getting the prompt to enter my criterion. Is my error in my function statement? I can't save the view. I also understand I could use a pass-through query. Is there some sort of guidance or tutorial on that to which you could point me? Thanks for your time.
I am translating some of my Access queries to SQL views. In one of those, I had a very convenient function called "IIF" (e.g. IIf(IsNull([Remark]),"NULL","NOT NULL").
How is this function called in the MS SQL Server 2000? Apparently I cannot use either "IIF" nor "CASE" in the query/view.....

I have written a script to pivot a table into multiple columns.

Create view vwOrderItemTotal2 AS SELECT ItemName, fkMenuItemID, Sum(Quantity) as [SumOfMenuITems] FROM OrderItems GROUP BY fkMenuItemId, ItemName
When I present my data in a GridView, it works fine. For example, several orders for milk are returned as a summary quantity of 26 gallons in a single row of the GridView like this:
26 Milk
Now I need to filter my data by OrderDate and Zipcode. I created this new view:
Create view vwOrderItemTotal5 AS SELECT Orders.Zipcode, Orders.OrderDate, OrderItems.ItemName, OrderItems.fkMenuItemID, Sum(Quantity) as [SumOfMenuITems] FROM Orders INNER JOIN OrderItems ON Orders.OrderID = OrderItems.fkOrderID GROUP BY fkMenuItemId, ItemName, Zipcode, OrderDate
When I present my data in a Gridview using the new view I get a GridView with multiple rows for milk where each order has its own row like this:
1 Milk 5 Milk 6 Milk 6 Milk 3 Milk 1 Milk 4 Milk
But I want the data presentation in one row for each ItemName (e.g. Milk) as with my first view. Can I adjust my new view to achieve this, or should I stick with my first view (vwOrderItemTotal2) and adjust the Select Command in my SqlDataSource (hasn’t worked yet). I think that what I want is for the returned data to be grouped by fkMenuItemId only, but the sql server admin won’t let me create a view without including the other fields in the Group By clause. Thanks for any help provided in solving this.
