Hi
I have a dynamically constructed sql query that I want to execute, e.g.
exec('select * from ' + @tablename)
(1) Can I suppress the output somehow if this returns no values?
(2) Can I use the result of this query in another query somehow? e.g.
select
(3) Can I control the size of the columns in the output somehow
Thanks

I have a stored procedure where in a cursor I create a dynamic select
statement. If I have a non-zero result set (check @@rowcount) I output a message. The problem is I do not know how to supress the output of the
execute of the dynamically created select statement. All I want going to
output is the message. I know ISQL has this function, and so does EM. How do I do it totally within a stored procedure.
I have the following sp:ALTER PROCEDURE myspPrepareTextForHTML @MessageContent nvarchar(1400), @returnval nvarchar(1400) outputASBEGINSET NOCOUNT ON;SET @returnval='something'RETURN @returnvalENDWhen I try this:
EXEC myspPrepareTextForHTML @MessageContent='dfgsdfgdf', @returnval OUTPUT
print @returnval
I get the error:Must declare the scalar variable "@returnval".
How can I get this to work?
Hello, I have been working around this issue, but couldn't yet find any solution.I have a stored procedure that calls a method to do a certain repetitive work.In this function, I have a dynamic query, which means, that I am concatinating commands to the query depending on the input of the function.for example, there is an input for a function called "Id"Inside the function, if Id = 111I need to add " and ID <> 1" and if Id has another value I need to add " and ID = c.ID" something like that.Now, inside the function, I need to return a value by executing the above @SQLString as follows:EXEC @SQLStringWhen I need is something likeEXEC @SQLString, @Total OutputReturn (@Total)Are there any ideas ?regards

I have two SQL Server 2000 (one is localhost, one is remote with VPN IP 192.168.5.4).
I can select * from [192.168.5.4].db.dbo.test but I can't exec [192.168.5.4].db..spAdd in localhost.
These select and sp is OK for 1 or 2 week without any problem,but it didn't work one day.
Can some one explain why?
I am writing a stored procedure to select some information from two tables and I would also like to Execute a function using the userid information from the processing in the where clause of the Select statement. Is the syntax below possible?? If yes, could you please help me understand exactly what I may be doing wrong here.. If no, can you please help with better syntax. Thanks in advance
SELECT M.UserID, M.FullName, (EXEC calcPoints M.UserID) as 'UserPoints'

Hi All...
if i had the following sp...
*******************************************************
create procedure my_insert (param1 int, param2 int, paramx int)
as
...
complicated insert routine
...
return
*******************************************************
and then i wanted to exec this sp in another procedure i would have
exec my_insert( 1_value, 2_value, 3_value )
My question is how could i exec this will the result set of a select.... something like this
exec my_insert (select 1_value, 2_value, 3_value from another_table).
I know i could have this in an insert result type statement ie...
insert into dest_table (select 1_value, 2_value, 3_value from another_table)
but my insert routine is quite complicated and carries out some other functions so I would like to call (exec) a sp rather than repeating the complication in the select statement
Many Thanks

hi,
can somebody tell me how to call SP in another SP select statement..? i've seen ppl doing it something like this..
Select column1, coulumn2, (select EXEC SP_NAme), blabla
thanks in advance... :)
Code:
exec('select RIGHT(00000 + CAST(dh.zipcode AS varchar(5)), 5) as zip, '+@fieldname +' as distance into #distance from sumplicity.dbo.t_distancetohospital dh')
This runs normally and returns the number of rows created. Yet when I do a 'select * from #distance' query, I get a message that #distance doesn't exist.
Where is it storing all of this and how do I access it?
I'd *like* to execute a sProc within another sProc, because this other one (let's call it dataProc) will provide me with results I need that are calculated based off execing other procs within that proc itself.
I'd like to use this data in a new sProc (we'll call it newProc), but I don't need NEARly all of the columns. The dataProc returns 1 row with 42 columns. I need about 4-5 of those for my newProc.
The dataProc does not have any output variables, and I do not want to change the signature, because several pages/apps use this existing dataProc.
My question:
Is there a way to INSERT INTO table EXEC dataProc
*Without* making a temp table that takes in every single column the dataProc puts out?
Any help is much appreciated.. thanks!

some one can tell if i can make a "where" clause inside the BCP , when i say : select * FROM tbl where flag=N , usually the where flag='N' works with the ' ' , but it gives no error when save the store procedure without it ' ' saves nicely the SP,
but
like this it saves well "SELECT * FROM tbl where flag=N" and
when i execute it, give a sql statement error "Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Invalid column name N."
i dont now , any help
PS: perhaps at the end of the BCP ---> -c -T , must have some more or less

I am working on Converting existing Crystal reports to Reporting Services. Now I have a line in Crystal reports which has a formula for supression. I dont know whats the equivalent of supress in SSRS. I have tried Visibility as hidden but then it shows empty line but not supressed line.
I'm executing this dynamic query in the middle of stored proc to get the @hrs2 value:
select @sql=('select @hrs2 = sum('+quotename(@day2)+') from #pso_view where id = ')
select @sql= @sql+cast(@num as varchar(5))
EXEC sp_executesql @sql,N'@hrs2 int OUTPUT',@hrs2 OutPut
SELECT @hrs2
That works, but then it returns a row result with every exec and that messes up my desired row return from the contaner sp for my web control databind
Any tips on how to get the varible populated via the dynamic sql w/o rows return?
THANKS!!!!!!!!
How do I get a Report Table to supress blank rows from displaying ?

Cannot find this anywhere while creating a report. Is this an option?

Hi
Can we supress the System error messages ?
if yes how ?
for ex. In a table I am adding a row which is voilating primary key constarint ..I do not want system message for that ..
Server: Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Line 0
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_b'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'b'.
The statement has been terminated.
I can write a user defined message for this purpose but I am not able to supress system message .
The procedure I am using is
CREATE PROCEDURE add_b
@num int,@empno int, @name varchar(6)
AS
INSERT INTO B (num, empno, ds ) values (@num,@empno,@name)
-- Test the error value.
IF @@ERROR <> 0
BEGIN
-- Return 99 to the calling program to indicate failure.
RAISERROR ('Job id 1 expects the default level of 10.', 16, 1)
PRINT "An error occurred loading the new author information"
RETURN(99)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
-- Return 0 to the calling program to indicate success.
PRINT "The new author information has been loaded"
RETURN(0)
END

I have several columns with expressions that return Nothing under certain conditions:
Example:=(IIF( Fields!solved.Value=False,IIF( Fields!TAT3.Value >120, IIF(Fields!TAT3.Value <144,Fields!Ticket.Value,Nothing),Nothing),Nothing))
As a result, I get tons of white/empty space, because 200 values were evaluated as Nothing and only 5 values/records were actual numbers.
How can I supress this Nothing value ?
Hello -
Does anybody know of a way to force SSRS to render a report with no page breaks at all? And better yet, to render as such but export using breaks (I know, thats asking a lot but the first part seems to be a reasonable request)
I have 1 report that renders a lot of data with no page breaks and cannot find a SINGLE property difference from the reports that do break...
Thanks in advace,

Hi all!
Iīve having some issues with a package that Iīm currently building.
The package is pretty much finished and doing what itīs supposed to,
just doing some testing to ensure everything is in order.
The package is pretty basic:
Read a fixed with text file, do a lookup on destination database table,
conditional split to determine what to insert and what to update, and thatīs it!
At the source of my data flow I have the error output set to redirect all rows,
counting those rows, and finally writing them to a dynamically created file.
However, I just now realized that this file seems to be created ALWAYS,
regardless of rows actually being redirected or not. Everytime I run the package
with no rows being passed through the error output, I still end up with a
dynamically named, zero sized text file.
So my question: Is it possible to supress the creation of this file,
or do I have to add a file system component to my control flow,
deleting this file if my number of errorrows = 0 ?
Hope you can help!
Regards
Daniel
Another question for all you SQL experts, I have a lot of them. I am trying to select from a table wher some conditions need to be met based on an employee ID.

Hi friends,
I want to select only filename column of sp_helpdb's output.But I don't know how should I do this? Other way is doing a direct select from sysfiles or sysdatabases but as you know microsoft doesn't recommand this way. Also I can select that filed in my application level but it is strange for me: Of course sql server should has a proper way to do a select from output curosr of this procedure,Doesn't it?
-Thanks in advance
I have a table: it contains a list of data belonging to a name, however the field 'name' defines the source.
name |field1 |field1data |
test1 |in |123
test1 |out |345
test2 |in |123
test2 |out |456
test3 |in |123
test3 |out |456
I'm trying to get the data out of the database in a columed format, I would be quite comfortable doing this if 'in' and 'out' where there own field. The output i'm trying to get is:
name |data |data |
test1 |123 |456
test2 |123 |456
test3 |123 |456
in an ideal world i'd like to be able to have the header the name of the field data - eg
name |in |out |
test1 |123 |456
test2 |123 |456
test3 |123 |456
I can use - select name,field1data from table where field1 in ("in","out")but this returns each piece of data as a new row - eg:
name |field1data |
test1 |123
test1 |456
test2 |123
test2 |456
test3 |123
test3 |456

thanks for reading!
Here is my problem: I have a strored procedure that inserts some records
into one table and then selects some records from another table at the end.
The stored procedure takes several parameters, first one of them is marked as
OUTPUT. I'm using it to return an id of the inserted record. The procedure is called from asp.net code with first parameter set as ParameterDirection.InputOutput (tried with just Output as well). Now for the problem: if the the select statement at the end returns 0 records everything works and i my first parameter contains the @@IDENTITY value from the insert statement like it is supposed to.
If the select statement at the end returns 1 or more records my output parameter is not updated at all and contains the same value as before the procedure was run. All the records are inserted correctly.
if i try to return the @@identity as a plain select statement instead of through the parameter
i get System.DBNull.
I hope you can shed some light on this for me. Here is my stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE cwSaveProductInquiry
@inquiryId int OUTPUT,
@libraryName nvarchar(500),
@contactName nvarchar(200),
@address nvarchar(100),
@city nvarchar(50),
@state nvarchar(3),
@zip nvarchar(10),
@phone nvarchar(50),
@email nvarchar(100),
@comment nvarchar(3000),
@productIds nvarchar(2000)
AS
INSERT INTO INQUIRY (LibraryName, ContactName, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone, Email, Comment) VALUES(@libraryName, @contactName, @address, @city, @state, @zip, @phone, @email,@comment)
--i tried including this statement at the end as well but that did not do the
--trick either
select @inquiryId=@@IDENTITY FROM INQUIRY
set nocount on
declare @separator_position int -- This is used to locate each separator character
declare @objectId varchar(200) -- this holds each array value as it is returned
if(@productIds is not null)
begin
while patindex('%,%' , @productIds) <> 0
begin
select @separator_position = patindex('%,%' , @productIds)
select @objectId= left(@productIds, @separator_position - 1)
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_INQUIRY_LOOKUP (ProductId,InquiryId) VALUES(@objectId, @inquiryId)
select @productIds = stuff(@productIds, 1, @separator_position, '')
end
end
set nocount off
Select Distinct Email from vPRODUCT_CONTACT WHERE ProductId in
(Select ProductId From Product_Inquiry_Lookup Where InquiryId=@inquiryId)
GO
