What happened to being able to pass GETDATE() to a stored procedure? I can swear I've done this in the past, but now I get syntax errors in SQL2005. Is there still a way to call a stored proc passing the current datetime stamp? If so, how? This code: EXEC sp_StoredProc 'parm1', 'parm2', getdate() Gives Error: Incorrect Suntax near ')' I tried using getdate(), now(), and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP with the same result I know I can use code below but why all the extra code? And, what if I want to pass as a SQL command [strSQL = "EXEC sp_StoredProc 'parm1', 'par2', getdate()" -- SqlCommand(strSQL, CN)]? DECLARE @currDate DATETIME SET @currDate = GETDATE() EXEC sp_StoredProc 'parm1', 'parm2', @currDate Thanks!
I am currently in the process of building a stored procedure that needs the ability to be passed one, multiple or all fields selected from a list box to each of the parameters of the stored procedure. I am currently using code similar to this below to accomplish this for each parameter:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SplitOrderIDs ( @OrderList varchar(500) ) RETURNS @ParsedList table ( OrderID int ) AS BEGIN DECLARE @OrderID varchar(10), @Pos int
SET @OrderList = LTRIM(RTRIM(@OrderList))+ ',' SET @Pos = CHARINDEX(',', @OrderList, 1)
IF REPLACE(@OrderList, ',', '') <> '' BEGIN WHILE @Pos > 0 BEGIN SET @OrderID = LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(@OrderList, @Pos - 1))) IF @OrderID <> '' BEGIN INSERT INTO @ParsedList (OrderID) VALUES (CAST(@OrderID AS int)) --Use Appropriate conversion END SET @OrderList = RIGHT(@OrderList, LEN(@OrderList) - @Pos) SET @Pos = CHARINDEX(',', @OrderList, 1)
END END RETURN END GO
I have it working fine for the single or multiple selection, the trouble is that an 'All' selection needs to be in the list box as well, but I can't seem to get it working for this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
My plan is to have the same ability as under the 'Optional' section of this page:
I'm attempting to pass a datetime variable to a stored proc (called via sql task). The variables are set in a previous task where they act as OUTPUT paramters from a stored proc. The variables are set correctly after that task executes. The data type for those parameters is set to DBTIMESTAMP.
When I try to exectue a similar task passing those variables as parameters, I get an error:
Error: 0xC002F210 at ax_settle, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "exec ? = dbo.ax_settle_2 ?, ?,?,3,1" failed with the following error: "Invalid character value for cast specification". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
If I replace the 2nd and 3rd parameters with quoted strings, it is successful: exec ?= dbo.ax_settle ?, '3/29/06', '4/30/06',3,1
Recently someone told me that I could use a Parameter in a Stored Proc as a text placeholder in the SQL Statement. I needed to update a table by looping thru a set of source tables. I thought NOW IS MY TIME to try using a parameter as a table name. Check the following Stored Proc
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Update] @DistributorID int, @TableName varchar(50) AS UPDATE C SET C.UnitCost = T.[Price] FROM (tbl_Catalog C INNER JOIN @TableName T ON C.Code = T.Code) GO
NEEDLESS TO SAY this didn't work. In reviewing my references this seems to be a no no.
Is it possible to use a parameter as a table name? OR is there another way to do this?
I am trying to develop a stored procedure for an existing application thathas data stored in numerous tables, each with the same set of columns. Themain columns are Time and Value. There are literally hundreds of thesetables that are storing values at one minute intervals. I need to calculatethe value at the end of the current hour for any table. I am a little newto SQL Server, but I have some experience with other RDBMS.I get an error from SQL Server, complaining about needing to declare@TableName in the body of the procedure. Is there a better way to referencea table?SteveHere is the SQL for creating the procedure:IF EXISTS(SELECTROUTINE_NAMEFROMINFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINESWHEREROUTINE_TYPE='PROCEDURE'ANDROUTINE_NAME='udp_End_of_Hour_Estimate')DROP PROCEDURE udp_End_of_Hour_EstimateGOCREATE PROCEDURE udp_End_of_Hour_Estimate@TableName VarCharASDECLARE @CurrentTime DateTimeSET @CurrentTime = GetDate()SELECT(SELECTSum(Value)* DatePart(mi,@CurrentTime)/60 AS EmissonsFROM@TableNameWHERETime BETWEENDateAdd(mi,-DatePart(mi,@CurrentTime),@CurrentTime)AND@CurrentTime)+(SELECTAvg(Value)* (60-DatePart(mi,@CurrentTime))/60 AS EmissionsFROM@TableNameWHERETime BETWEENDateAdd(mi,-10,@CurrentTime)AND@CurrentTime)
can i pass the name of the table and the "order by" column name to stored procedure? i tried the simple way (@tablename varchar and then "select * from @tablename) but i get error massesges. the same for order by... what is the right syntex for this task?
possible to pass in a query as a parameter to a stored proc?
Number of constraints right now would make it a lot easier if I could pass in a query that selects all the ID's, tried but couldn't come up w/anything, just have a simple proc that does the deletes on 1 ID @ a time...since there are up to 100 that will need to be deleted, the qry as a param would be much more convenient. below is the proc...Thx for any help.
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[s_DeletePeople]
@PeopleID int /* single id to be deleted, tried just passing * in a query that resembled a string and using it * but it didn't work either. */
AS
Deletefrom tProjectManager whereManager_ID in (@PeopleID)
Deletefrom tMerchandiser whereID in (@PeopleID)
Deletefrom tProjectCall wheremerchandiser_id in (@PeopleID)
Delete from tManager whereID in (@PeopleID)
Deletefrom tDistrictManager whereID in (@PeopleID)
I need to write a storedproc that receives the name of a table (as a string) and inside the stored proc uses select count(*) from <tablename>. The problem is the passed in tablename is a string so it can't be used in the select statement. Any ideas how I can do what I want?
I apologize for the long post but I am trying to give as much information as I can about the steps I've taken to troubleshoot this.
We have a stored procedure that builds a sql statement and executes it using the Execute command. When I execute the stored procedure through query analyzer it takes close to 5 seconds to execute. When I print out the exact same statement and execute it directly in query analyzer as "raw sql", it takes 0.5 seconds - meaning it takes 10 times longer for the code to execute in the stored proc. I altered the stored proc to execute the printed sql instead of building but it still takes the full 5 seconds and there were no changes in the execution plan. This makes me confident that the issue is not caused by the dynamic sql. I've used with recompile to make sure that the stored procedure caches the most recent execution plan. When I compare the execution plans, the stored proc uses a nested loop whereas the raw sql statement uses a hash join. Seeing that, I added the hash hint to the stored proc and doing so brought down the execution time down from 5 secs to 2 secs but still the raw sql statement uses a clustered index whereas the stored proc uses a non-clustered index and that makes the statement 4 times slower. This proves how efficient clustered indexes are over non-clustered ones, but it doesn't help me since, as far as I know, I can't force SQL Server to use the clustered index.
Does anyone know why sql server is generating such an inefficient execution plan for the stored proc compared to the execution plan that it generates when executing the raw sql statement? The only thing I can think of is that some stats are not updated and that somehow throws off the stored proc. But then again, shouldn't it affect the raw sql statement?
Guys I have a simple 'black box' proc deriving start and end dates below (the actual values will be derived from more complex code but here for simplicity are hard coded)
create proc upGetDates as declare @start datetime , @end datetime
select@start = '2001-01-01' , @end = '2007-12-31' go
I want to reuse this proc many times for different reports and using the date values in the calling sp
an example in pseudo code would be
create proc usedates as declare@rstart datetime , @rend datetime
exec upGetDates @rstart = @start , @rend = @end -- obtaining dates from ---called 'black box' proc select * from tablename where datecreated >= @rstart and datecreated < @rend go
Not sure how to 'trap' the dates from the called proc
I'm writing a simple voting script and have columns for each options. I need to update the data based on whichever option the user picks.I.e...If the user picks option 1 then execute UPDATE mytable SET option1 = option1 + 1If the user picks option 2 then execute UPDATE mytable SET option2 = option2 + 1 Etc., etc.What's the best way to do that without building an ad-hoc SQL statement? There could be many options so I dont want to have lots of redundant SQL statements.Can I just use a varible in a stored proc and do something like this? UPDATE mytable SET @optionUserpicked=@optionUserpicked + 1Thanks in advance
I have created a stored proc for a report, which works fine. I want to have the user enter a project ID to filter the report, so set the stored proc accordingly. However, I want the user to enter a 10 digit ID, which is the equivilent of two fields in the stored proc. My where statement is :
Where actv.ProjID + '-' + actv.Activity = @project
This works fine under the data tab, I can enter a full project and get the results I want. But I cannot preview the report without getting an error. I'm not sure how to add this to the report parameters, as it is two fields concatenated together. Any help would be appreciated!
Hello, I'm needing to pass a variable length number of values to a select statement so I can populate a result list with items related to all the checkboxlist items that were selected by the user. for example, the user checks products x, y and z, then hits submit, and then they see a list of all the tests they need to run for each product. I found a UDF that parses a comma delimited string and puts the values into a table. I learned how to do this here: http://codebetter.com/blogs/darrell.norton/archive/2003/07/01/361.aspx I have a checkboxlist that I'm generating the string from, so the string could look like this: "1,3,4,5,7" etc.I added the function mentioned in the URL above to my database, and if I understand right, I should be able to pass the table it creates into the select statement like so: WHERE (OrderStatus IN ((select value from dbo.fn_Split(@StatusList,','))) OR @StatusList IS NULL) but now I don't know how to assign the string value to the parameter, say to '@solution_id'.my current select statement which was generated by Visual Studio 2005 looks like this: SELECT [test], [owner], [date] FROM [test_table] WHERE ([solution_ID] = @solution_ID) ...but this only pulls results for the first item checked in the checkboxlist.Does anyone know how this is done? I'm sure it's simple, but I'm new to ASP .NET so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello, I have a number of multi-select parameters which I would like to send to a stored procedure within the dataset for use in the stored procedure's IN() statement which in turn is used to filter on or out particular rowsets.
I considered using a hidden string parameter set = " ' " + join(parameter.value, ',') + " ' " so that the hidden parameter would then contain a comma delimiated string of the values selected, which would then be sent on to the stored proc and used in the WHERE clause of one of the queries internal to the stored proc. But before I start dedicating time to do this I wanted to inquire if anyone here with far more expertise could think of a faster or less system heavy method of creating a single string of comma delimited parameter selections?
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 2 stored proc.Stored proc1(sp1) will call stored proc2(sp2).sp2 will return one output parameter of VARCHAR(5000) to sp1.Sp1 will gets the o/p parameter and stores it to a table.
My problem is while returning sp2 output parameter will truncate the size of the o/p I'm getting a part of it's actaul output.I am using SQL server 2000.How we can solve this truncation?
Hey huys, I got this stored procedure. First of all: could this work?
--start :) CREATE PROCEDURE USP_MactchUser
@domainUserID NVARCHAR(50) ,
@EmployeeID NVARCHAR(50) ,
@loginType bit = '0' AS
INSERT INTO T_Login
(employeeID, loginType, domainUserID)
Values (@EmployeeID, @loginType, @domainUserID) GO --end :)
then I got this VB.Net code in my ASP.net page....
---begin :) Private Sub matchUser() Dim insertMatchedUser As SqlClient.SqlCommand Dim daMatchedUser As SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter SqlConnection1.Open() 'conn openned daMatchedUser = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter("USP_MatchUser", SqlConnection1) daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@EmployeeID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50)) daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlClient.SqlParameter("@domainUserID", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50)) daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters("@EmployeeID").Value = Trim(lblEmployeeID.Text) daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters("@domainUserID").Value = Trim(lblDomainuserID.Text) daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters("@EmployeeID").Direction = ParameterDirection.Output daMatchedUser.SelectCommand.Parameters("@domainUserID").Direction = ParameterDirection.Output SqlConnection1.Close() 'conn closed
End Sub ---
If I try this it doesn't work (maybe that's normal :) ) Am I doing it wrong. The thing is, in both label.text properties a values is stored that i want to as a parameter to my stored procedure. What am I doing wrong?
trying to create SP with parameter and i want to use current date getdate() as parameter.. doesn't seem to work. do i have to use getdate in where clause?
here my SP
CREATE PROC report (@date datetime) SET @date = (getdate())-1 as SELECT..here goes my select statement where (@date = mydatecolumindatebase)
but im getting error on line 3 and 4 ........ Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure getdatetest, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'SET'. Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure getdatetest, Line 4 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'as'.
I'm trying to execute a SP on a SQL Server 2000, using Delphi 2007 (win32) and DBExpress components.
Work on my computer. Don't work on computers without the delphi instaled. its not a problem with DLLs. All the Necessary DLL are there (and I think that if one was missing, the windows will call for it hauauh)
Midas.dll is inside the apllication and he driver for the SQL Server is there too.
I don't know if this is the corect place to put my problem... But don't can think of other place...
The SP has this:
Code Snippet
IF EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM dbo.sysobjects WHERE id = object_id(N'[dbo].[ms_TESTE]') AND OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1 ) DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[ms_TESTE] GO
im getting an error when i run the stored proc with a string parameter in execute sql task object.
this is the only code i have:
exec sp_udt_keymaint 'table1'
I also set the 'Isstoredprocedure' in the properties as 'True' though, when you edit the execute sql task object, i can see that this parameter is disabled.
Hi, I have found this question asked many times online, but the answers always consisted of getting a parameter from the user and to the report. That is NOT what everyone was asking. I would like to know how to pass a parameter I already have into my stored procedure. Using Visual Studio 2005, in the "Data" tab of a report calling something likeUnique_Login_IPsreturns correctly when that stored proc takes no params, but when I have one that takes the year, for example, I do not know how to pass this info in. Note: the following does not work in this context : EXEC Unique_Login_IPs ParameterValue nor does EXEC Some_proc_without_paramsVisual studio seems to want only the procedure name because it returns errors that say a procedure with the name "the entire line above like EXEC Unique_Login_IPs ParameterValue" does not exist.... Thanks in advance,Dustin L
I am having a dataentry screen. Some columns i will fill the columns by typing and for some columns i will choose an item from the dropdownlist and i have to send it as an input parameter to stored procedure. How to do that? Pls explain Thanx
I have a procedure that will save to table in sql server 200 via stored procedure. When I hit the save button it alwasy give me an error saying "Procedure 'sp_AddBoard' expects parameter '@dtmWarrantyStart', which was not supplied" even though I supplied it in the code
which is
Dim ParamdtmWarrantyStart As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@dtmWarrantyStart", SqlDbType.datetime, 8) ParamdtmWarrantyStart.Value = dtmWarrantyStart myCommand.Parameters.Add(ParamdtmWarrantyStart)
below is the stored procedure.
create Proc sp_AddBoard(@BrandID int, @strPcName varchar(50), @bitAccounted bit, @dtmAccounted datetime, @dtmWarrantyStart datetime, @dtmWarrantyEnd datetime, -- @strDescription varchar(500), @intStatus int, @ModelNo varchar(50), @intMemorySlots int, @intMemSlotTaken int, @intAgpSlots int, @intPCI int, @bitWSound bit, @bitWLan bit, @bitWVideo bit, @dtmAcquired datetime, @stat bit output, @intFSB int) as if not exists(select strPcName from tblBoards where strPcName=@strPcName) begin insert into tblBoards (BrandID, strPcName, bitAccounted, dtmAccounted, dtmWarrantyStart, dtmWarrantyEnd, --strDescription, intStatus, ModelNo, intMemorySlots, intMemSlotTaken, intAgpSlots, intPCI, bitWLan, bitWVideo, dtmAcquired,intFSB,bitWSound)

The table is also designed to accept nulls on that field but still same error occured.
Hi all, I had created a stored procedure "DeleteRow" that can receive a parameter "recordID" from the calling function, however, I received a error msg "Procedure or function deleteRow has too many arguments specified." when run the C# code.My code is showing below---------------------------------- --------------------thisConnection.Open();SqlParameter param = DeleteRow.Parameters.Add("@recordI D", SqlDbType.Int, 4); param.Value = key;SqlDataReader reader = DeleteRow.ExecuteReader(CommandBeh avior.CloseConnection) //program stop after runing this lineThe stored procedure code which is showing below:----------------------------------------------------------------CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.deleteRow @recordID INT AS DELETE FROM ShoppingCart WHERE RecordID = @recordIDCan anyone give me some ideal why this happen.
