I have a set of stored procedures copied into several databases (similar table structures but different data). I would like to avoid maintaining so many versions of the same procedures, so want to put the stored procs in a common database and execute it from there, e.g.
exec common_db..the_procedure
However, when you do that, the procedure executes in the context of common_db, not in the context of the calling proc's database. Is there a way of calling a procedure so that the calling proc's context is used?
I've been bangging my head against the wall on this one and its probably something really easy but for the love of god, I can't figure it out. I have the following stored procedure ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[InsertUserProjectPhase] ( @ProjectPhaseID int, @ProductionEngineerUserID int, @QuantityCompleted decimal(18, 2), @BillableHours decimal(18, 2), @TotalWorkingHours decimal(18, 2), @DateUpdated datetime, @UpdatedByUserID int, @IsDeleted bit ) AS SET NOCOUNT OFF; INSERT INTO User_Project_Phase (ProjectPhaseID, ProductionEngineerUserID, QuantityCompleted, BillableHours, TotalWorkingHours, DateUpdated, UpdatedByUserID, IsDeleted) VALUES (@ProjectPhaseID,@ProductionEngineerUserID,@QuantityCompleted,@BillableHours,@TotalWorkingHours,@DateUpdated,@UpdatedByUserID,@IsDeleted);
SELECT ID FROM User_Project_Phase WHERE (ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY())
How can I call the above stored procedure (from within another stored procedure) AND save get the return value (the ID). I tried the following: exec @newProjectPhaseID = dbo.InsertProjectPhase @ProjectID=3796,@PhaseID=@PhaseID,@EstimatedQuantity=@EstimatedQuantity, @EstimatedDuration=@EstimatedDuration,@TotalQuantityCompleted=@TotalQuantityCompleted, @TotalBilledQuantity=@TotalBilledQuantity,@QuantityType=@QuantityTypeID,@StatusID=@StatusID, @CreatedByUserID=18569 Where @newProjectPhaseID was declared at the top as int. The numbers you see in there will be replaced with variables. They are there now because I'm executing the sp directly in management studio. Of course, the above doesn't work. I was hoping that the return value form InsertProjectPhase would be saved in @newProjectPhaseID but I get an error. Any help will be appreciated. THANKS A MILLION! -Psion
I need some help with the following store proc, something is wrong but I just dont see it. Thanks btw I am no expert at sp so something might be complety wrong.
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetSearchByDateRange
( @strColumnNamenvarchar (50), @dtDate1 Date, @dtDate2 Date ) as
EXEC ('SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE ' + @strColumnName + ' BETWEEN ' + ''' + @dtDate1 + ''' + ' AND ' + ''' + @dtDate2 + '''')
Hi Guys, I created the following stored proc which calls another stored procs as shown below. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- but, when I tried to excute it, I am getting an error.
Here is how I'm trying to exec the stored proc.
execute dbo.rpt_CompareDB
@tbl_name = 'Attribute'
,@DB_name1 = 'Green'
,@DB_name2 = 'devlue02'
FYI, It works fine if you run the query itself instead of executing the stored proc.
I have the following stored proc that is providing the following error - Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 79[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'. The sp works fine if the DateOfBirth elements are removed. I think it is something to do with the way in which the date variable is incorporated into the string that will be executed by the EXEC command but I'm unsure as to what is wrong. CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetPersonsByName (@FirstName varchar(50)=NULL, @FamilyName varchar(50)=NULL, @DateOfBirth datetime=NULL) AS EXEC ('SELECT PersonId, Title, FirstName, FamilyName , AltFamilyName, Sex, DateOfBirth, Age, DateOfDeath, CauseOfDeath, Height, Weight, ABO, RhD, Comments, LocalIdNo, NHSNo, CHINo, Hospital, HospitalNo, AltHospital, AltHospitalNo, EthnicGroup, Citizenship, NHSEntitlement, HomePhoneNo, WorkPhoneNo, MobilePhoneNo, CreatedBy, DateCreated, UpdatedBy, DateLastUpdated FROM vw_GetPersons WHERE FirstName LIKE ''%' + @FirstName + '%'' AND FamilyName LIKE ''%' + @FamilyName + '%'' AND DateOfBirth = '+ @DateOfBirth +' ORDER BY FamilyName, FirstName') GO
I am working on a project to re-code SQL Anywhere to T-SQL (SQL Server 2000) and am encountering many instances where the original code contained a SELECT statement that calls a stored procedure. T-SQL does not allow calling a procedure from a SELECT statement as far as I can see. Does anyone have any good ideas on working around this??

I am just trying to capture the return code from a stored proc as follows and if I get a 1 I want the SQL Task to follow a failure(red) constrainst workflow and send a SMTP mail task warning the customer. How do I achieve the Exec SQL Task portion of this, i get a strange error message [Execute SQL Task] Error: There is an invalid number of result bindings returned for the ResultSetType: "ResultSetType_SingleRow".
Using OLEDB connection, I utilize SQL: EXEC ? = dbo.CheckCatLog
EXEC SQL Task Editer settings: RESULTSET: Single Row PARAMETER MAPPING: User::giBatchID DIRECTION: OUTPUT DATATYPE: LONG PARAMETER NAME: 0
PS-Not sure if I need my variable giBatchID which is an INT32 but I thought it is a good idea to feed the output into here just in case there is no way that the EXEC SQL TASK can chose the failure constrainst workflow if I get a 1 returned or success constraint workflow if I get a 0 returned from stored proceedure
CREATE PROCEDURE CheckCatLog @OutSuccess INT AS
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @RowCountCAT INT DECLARE @RowCountLOG INT

I'm trying to execute a Proc from DTS Package and it is rasing an error 'Invalid Pointer'.
This Proc is used to get a result set and I want to transfer this result set into a Excel File and that Excel File is to be sent to my client by Email.
Every thing was fine....but can some one suggest why I'am getting this error 'Invalid Pointer'.
I am working with a large application and am trying to track down a bug. I believe an error that occurs in the stored procedure isbubbling back up to the application and is causing the application not to run. Don't ask why, but we do not have some of the sourcecode that was used to build the application, so I am not able to trace into the code. So basically I want to examine the stored procedure. If I run the stored procedure through Query Analyzer, I get the following error message: Msg 2758, Level 16, State 1, Procedure GetPortalSettings, Line 74RAISERROR could not locate entry for error 60002 in sysmessages. (1 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) I don't know if the error message is sufficient enough to cause the application from not running? Does anyone know? If the RAISERROR occursmdiway through the stored procedure, does the stored procedure terminate execution? Also, Is there a way to trace into a stored procedure through Query Analyzer? -------------------------------------------As a side note, below is a small portion of my stored proc where the error is being raised: SELECT @PortalPermissionValue = isnull(max(PermissionValue),0)FROM Permission, PermissionType, #GroupsWHERE Permission.ResourceId = @PortalIdAND Permission.PartyId = #Groups.PartyIdAND Permission.PermissionTypeId = PermissionType.PermissionTypeId IF @PortalPermissionValue = 0BEGIN RAISERROR (60002, 16, 1) return -3END

I am trying to create a database based on the name contained in the variables. I get the error 'Incorrect syntax near '@DBName'. How do i accomplish this?
I have partiular stored procedure.Now i want to know as this PROC belongs to which DATABASE.On a server we may be having several databases from those how can we know as this PROC belongs to particular database.Is there ay systable for this..?
I was wondering if it is possible to create a stored procedure to create databases. The only parameter would need to be the name of the database. Do I have to use a bunch of EXEC statements, or is there a better way?
I've created basic stored procs before, but never one for something like this.
i try create this example:http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webforms/ReportViewer.aspxI have Northwind database added in the SQL server management and i select Northwind databse in drop box and I push Execute!ALTER PROCEDURE ShowProductByCategory(@CategoryName nvarchar(15) )ASSELECT Categories.CategoryName, Products.ProductName, Products.UnitPrice, Products.UnitsInStockFROM Categories INNER JOIN Products ON Categories.CategoryID = Products.CategoryIDWHERE CategoryName=@CategoryNameRETURNbut error is:Msg 208, Level 16, State 6, Procedure ShowProductByCategory, Line 11Invalid object name 'ShowProductByCategory'.on web not so clear what is issue pls. help
For what it's worth, I hacked up MS' sp_spacedused and created a new stored procedure called sp_dbspaceused. I made the following modifications:
1. It returns a single resultset (instead of multiple resultsets); 2. I eliminated the options that were specfically geared towards sizing of individual objects (no object name parameter and no update statistics parameter); 3. I eliminated the formatting from the result set (the numbers are expressed in KB)
Place the code into an admin database or (more risky and less "best practice") directly into your master database.
Usage: USE MyDatabase GO
EXEC AdminDatabase.dbo.sp_dbspaceused GO

basically, what I am trying to achieve to 2 types of search functions...
Search for All terms (easy and complete) and search for Any Terms...
the way I have gone about this so far is to in my asp.net app, split the search string by spaces, and then search for each word, and merging the resulting dataset into the main return dataset.
this, however has a few problems. the result dataset will contain duplicate values, and i am running queries in a loop.
What i am looking for is a one-stop-shop stored procedue that will split the search string, loop through each word, and add the results to a return table, ONLY if it does not exist already within the return table.
Can anyone point me in the right direction... basically with the splitting of the string and the looping through the words...the rest i think i can handle...
or any other hints/tips/tricks would also be helpful.
I am having trouble executing a stored procedure on a remote server. On my local server, I have a linked server setup as follows: Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563
This works fine on my local server:
Select * From [Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563].DatabaseName.dbo.TableName
This does not work (Attempting to execute a remote stored proc named 'Data_Add':
When I attempt to run the above, I get the following error: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
Could anyone shed some light on what I need to do to get this to work?
Hi All,Quick question, I have always heard it best practice to check for exist, ifso, drop, then create the proc. I just wanted to know why that's a bestpractice. I am trying to put that theory in place at my work, but they areasking for a good reason to do this before actually implementing. All Icould think of was that so when you're creating a proc you won't get anerror if the procedure already exists, but doesn't it also have to do withCompilation and perhaps Execution. Does anyone have a good argument fordoing stored procs this way? All feedback is appreciated.TIA,~CK
I have an ASP that has been working fine for several months, but itsuddenly broke. I wonder if windows update has installed some securitypatch that is causing it.The problem is that I am calling a stored procedure via an ASP(classic, not .NET) , but nothing happens. The procedure doesn't work,and I don't get any error messages.I've tried dropping and re-creating the user and permissions, to noavail. If it was a permissions problem, there would be an errormessage. I trace the calls in Profiler, and it has no complaints. Thedatabase is getting the stored proc call.I finally got it to work again, but this is not a viable solution forour production environment:1. response.write the SQL call to the stored procedure from the ASPand copy the text to the clipboard.2. log in to QueryAnalyzer using the same user as used by the ASP.3. paste and run the SQL call to the stored proc in query analyzer.After I have done this, it not only works in Query Analyzer, but thenthe ASP works too. It continues to work, even after I reboot themachine. This is truly bizzare and has us stumped. My hunch is thatwindows update installed something that has created this issue, but Ihave not been able to track it down.
I have a stored procedure "uspX" that calls another stored procedure "uspY" and I need to retrieve the return value from uspY and use it within uspX. Does anyone know the syntax for this?
I have about 5 stored procedures that, among other things, execute exactly the same SELECT statement
Instead of copying the SELECT statement 5 times, I'd like each stored proc to call a single stored proc that executes the SELECT statement and returns the resultset to the calling stored proc
The SELECT statement in question retrieves a single row from a table containing 10 columns.
Is there a way for a stored proc to call another stored proc and gain access to the resultset of the called stored proc?
I know about stored proc return values and about output parameters, but I think I am looking for something different.
I would like to know if the following is possible/permissible:
myCLRstoredproc (or some C# stored proc) { //call some T SQL stored procedure spSQL and get the result set here to work with
INSERT INTO #tmpCLR EXECUTE spSQL }
spSQL (
INSERT INTO #tmpABC EXECUTE spSQL2 )
spSQL2 ( // some other t-sql stored proc )
Can we do that? I know that doing this in SQL server would throw (nested EXECUTE not allowed). I dont want to go re-writing the spSQL in C# again, I just want to get whatever spSQL returns and then work with the result set to do row-level computations, thereby avoiding to use cursors in spSQL.
Hi: I would like to know if I invoke a stored procedure using "EXEC [database].[user].[StoredProcedure] param1, param2..." is just like to use the ADO.NET objects: SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("StoredProcedure", myConnection);myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;myCommand.Parameters.Add("@param1", param1);myCommand.Parameters.Add("@param2", param2); ..... Thanks
Hello Which is faster : to write a a big stored procedure with if conditions, or to separate them and call them using exec?? i.e: if @id=1 insert into ....else if @id=2 update...-----------------------orif @id=1 exec InsertProcedureelse if @id=2 exec UpdateProcedurePlease help
Hope someone can help me out here - I'm trying to design a data flow in SSIS which relies in part on a stored procedure as a data source - I'm running it through OLE DB.
Sure Exec MystoredProc works fine on preview and on parsing, but it refuses to acknowledge any of the columns, when I go to Edit-->Columns everything is blank.
Just out of interest - the reason I am using a stored procedure is because I dump the data into a temp table and then amend a couple of the columns to make it the same as my other database (for example where len(field) = 6 then field = '0000' + field).
Possibly I'm better off taking the raw data through the OLE connection and then transforming it through SSIS, but my gut feeling is I should minimise what I'm dumping into SSIS and offload the processing onto the local DB. Any thoughts?
I'm new to SSIS and SQL Server 2005 and this is now driving me very mad!!
I have an OLE DB Command in my data flow task that I want to update a table with. I have looked round this forum and on Google and just can not find a solution or what I am doing wrong. So any help would be great!
The ole db command calls a stored procedure with two input variables:
exec stp_updedgrsholds status, temp_cr_num
from debugging the ssis it says it has updated 4 rows and also from doing a data view, the data it is updating seems all correct.
but nothing gets updated in the database.
If I call the stored procedure the following way
exec stp_updedgrsholds 'C', 87
It updates fine! I have tried a number of different way with @ symbols and assignment p_status = @status
I am calling a stored procedure (say X) and from that stored procedure (i mean X) i want to call another stored procedure (say Y)asynchoronoulsy. Once stored procedure X is completed then i want to return execution to main program. In background, Stored procedure Y will contiue his work. Please let me know how to do that using SQL Server 2000 and ASP.NET 2.
I have this code in a stored procedure: DECLARE @SQLString VarChar(200) SET @SQLString = 'SELECT ' + @LookupField + ' FROM ' + @DBTable + ' WHERE (' + @IDField + ' = ''' + @IDValue + ''')' Exec (@SQLString) it works fine - with just one issue - I must grant select permission on the table. Is there a way to do this WITHOUT granting the select permissions?
