I need get the o/p of a system sp into a table. I am doing the following,
insert #repl_monitor
exec [distribution].sys.sp_replmonitorhelpsubscription @publisher =
N'FGRWA0508', @publisher_db = N'DB_Name', @publication = N'publication'
Code is really not important. Any sys SP can replace the above code.
I am getting the following error
Msg 8164, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSload_tmp_replication_status, Line 80
An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.
I have seen the following link which discuss this issue,
http://www.sommarskog.se/share_data.html
But there is no solution there.
I tried with sp_executesql and EXEC(), but unable to get the result. Can anyone put some light?

I've got a case where I am bringing older data into a brand new DB. Unfortunately, there are several versions of the old DB and I won't know ahead of time which one I will be running against. The data's basicaly the same, the table names are the same, but the column schema is NOT.
Basiclly, I want to use a conditional on the Insert.
Code Block
CREATE TABLE TestTable
(Col1 int NULL,
Col2 varchar(50) NULL)
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_CATALOG= 'TestDB'
AND TABLE_NAME ='TestTable'
AND COLUMN_NAME= 'Fred')
INSERT TestTable
(Col1, Col2, Fred)
VALUES
(1,'test', 'fredvalue')
This results in an "Unknown column" error.
What am I missing here and how can I accomplish it.
I know that I COULD build a SQL string and Exec it, but that is such a PITA and not very elegant.
Any help would be appreciated
Hi,
I have a stored procedure that transfers data from one database to another. I do a lot of manipulation to the data in between because although both databases are for the same purpose, the database designs are different. The two databases exist on two different servers. Till now my transfer procedure used a linked server to pull the data from one server to the other. This process takes a ton of time with complex queries across linked servers. I was researching on a faster method to transfer data and the only other working method seemed to be the insert..exec statement with which I can call a remote stored procedure which would run and return the results of the complex queries which I can then use locally as I wish.
My main question is, can I rely on insert..exec to work consistently and/or is there another method to achieve what I need that I'm totally ignorant of? I already know of inline/multi table value functions (they wont work across servers); openquery/openrowset (I need to be able to pass parameters); creating permanent tables to be used and then destroyed (not very appealing). I read an excellent article about these online by Erland Sommarskog (http://www.sommarskog.se/share_data.html) but I'm hoping someone can explain a little further.
Thanks all,
Anand
There must be some workaround for this. I need to grab the data from a stored proc on another server and place it into a temp table. I do not have the option to change the proc.
help if you can.
Hi,
has anyone come across deadlocks on sysindexes in tempdb where the insert/exec combination is used.
eg
create table #fred (IntColumn int)
insert into #fred exec ProcThatSelectsAnIntColumn
This is being done in a stored procedure, and is deadlocking with other procs which are doing vanilla #table work - creating, inserting into, updatind, selecting from, etc.
I have noticed similar deadlocks where a #table is created inside an explict transaction, and I wondered whether there is an implicit transaction created, but @@Nestlevel is not changing either before or after the insert/exec.
I can't find any references in knowledgebase.
Any pointers appreciated.
Cheers
Simon

Hello,I want to share my experiences about using insert into exec which mayhelp others .Using SQL Server 2000, SP3 .Two Proceduers - Parent SP caliing a Child SP (nested ) . No Explicittransactions .I have defined a # table in Parent SP and calling a Child SP like thisinsert into #temp exec childsp ......Child SP has Select * from local # temp table ( local to child SP) as the last statement .When number of records are less ( around 1000 - 5000) Parent SPexecutes but slow .When the Child SP returns higher number of rows ( 1,00,000 or more )the SP will be running for hours with out completion .Although executing the child SP , with exec ChildSP .... with sameparameters it is completed in 2 mins for 3,00,000 rows .Resolution : - Define a temp table (say #tempChild ) in the Parent SP..In the Child SP instead of select * replace with insert into#tempChild select * from ...Also note that this problem is not noticed in SQL 2000 Server with SP4..This may be due to SP executing in implicit transactions .

Hi,
I have written a master proc which calls another proc (say proc1).
This proc1 has insert-exec statements, for eg insert into #temp exec proc1.
i.e. multiple times the proc would be nested.
This the err thrown :
An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.
Is it possible to resolve it..
Hi All,
I am having a problem with nested insert exec. Say for example I have three stored procedure procA, procB and procC.
I am executing procedure procC in procB; I am storing the values returned by procC in a tempTable. The code is
INSERT INTO #Temp
EXEC procC
And in procA, I am executing procB, and the values returned by procB are stored in another temp table. The code is
INSERT INTO #TempOne
EXEC procC
When I execute the procA, I am getting error as
An INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested.
My requirement is like this, please give me a solution.
Thanks

Hi
When i use my insert-exec in my proc, say it Y, and the inner proc is X (don't contain an other insert-exec). when i call the Y proc in sql query analyzer the call is executed and it get me back results.
But when I call the Y proc from an ASP page, the execution is aborted, and I don’t know why, I have tested many thinks but it doesn’t work (for exp: the use commit transaction, set ....).
Please could you tell me if i miss some things i should add to my procs for the IIS web server could have right to execute my Y proc
Configuration of my application
- IIS Web server 6.0
- Sql Server 2000 SP 2.0
- TSQL as a sql language (of course)
- ASP as web porgramming language
- The call of the insert exec proc is as following:
o INSERT INTO #TMP_F_B (
o Field1 ,
o Field2,
o Field3 ,
o …,
o )
o EXEC dbo.ps_a5s_rpt_charge700 @util, @annee , @perimetre , @secteur , @poste , @fournisseur , @err , @lib_err

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!

Hello, I recently view a webcast of sql injection, and at this moment I created a user, and give dbo to this user, and this same user, is the one I have in the connection string of my web application, I want to create a user to prevent sql injection attacks, I mean that user wont be able to drop or create objects, only select views, tables, exec insert,update, deletes and exec stored procedures.
Is any easy way to do this?
A database role and then assing that role to the user?
Hello,
I have a stored procedure where I run an insert statement. I want to knwo if it is possible to do it using a variable for the table name (either in-line or with an EXEC statement without building a string first and executing that string. See examples of what I am talking about in both cases below:
I want to be able to do this (with or without the EXEC) :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECLARE @NewTableNameOut as varchar(100)
Set @NewTableNameOut = 'TableToInsertInto'
EXEC(
Insert Into @NewTableNameOut
Select * From tableToSelectFrom
)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can not do the above because it says I need to declare/set the @NewTableNameOut variable (assuming it is only looking at this for the specific insert statement and not at the variable I set earlier in the stored procedure.
I can do it like this by creating a string with the variable built into the string and then executing the string but I want to know if I can do it like I have listed above.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DECLARE @NewTableNameOut as varchar(100)
Set @NewTableNameOut = 'TableToInsertInto'
EXEC(
'Insert Into ' + @NewTableNameOut + ' ' +
'Select * From tableToSelectFrom'
)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is not an issue for my simple example above but I have some rather large queries that I am building and I want to run as described above without having to build it into a string.
Is this possible at all?
If you need more info please let me know.
Greeting.
I use OdbcConnection inside clr procedure, for getting data. If I use simple EXEC dbo.clr_proc - all is OK. If I use INSERT...EXEC I recive error message: Distributed transaction enlistment failed.
I set MSDTC security options for No Authentification and Allow inbound and Allow outbound, but it's no use.
Have this problem solution? May be, I must use another method to get my data?
P.S. Linked Servers and OPENQUERY is not applicable. Sybase not describe columns in stored proc result set and one stored proc may return different result set by params.
P.S.S. Sorry for bad english.
I have the following query in sql 2005:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspInsert_Blob] (
@fName varchar(60),
@fType char(5),
@fID numeric(18, 0),
@bID char(3),
@fPath nvarchar(60)
)
as
DECLARE @QUERY VARCHAR(2000)
SET @QUERY = "INSERT INTO tblDocTable(FileName, FileType, ImportExportID, BuildingID, Document)
SELECT '"+@fName+"' AS FileName, '"+@fType+"' AS FileType, " + cast(@fID as nvarchar(18)) + " as ImportExportID, '"+@bID+"' AS BuildingID, * FROM OPENROWSET( BULK '" +@fPath+"' ,SINGLE_BLOB)
AS Document"
EXEC (@QUERY)
This puts some values including a pdf or .doc file into a table, tblDocTable.
Is it possible to change this so that I can get the values from a table rather than as parameters. The Query would be in the form of: insert into tblDocTable (a, b, c, d) select a,b,c,d from tblimportExport.
tblImportExport has the path for the document (DocPath) so I would subsitute that field, ie. DocPath, for the @fPath variable.
Otherwise I can see only doing a Fetch next from tblIportExport where I would put every field into a variable and then run this exec query on these. Thus looping thru every row in tblImportExport.
Any ideas how to do this?

I need help understanding the syntax of the "exec sql" statement.
i am looking at code that build an sql string such as
sql="exec SOMETHING Session("id")"
or something like that.
then, there is
conn.execute(sql)
My question is the "SOMETHING" in the sql statement...is what? I know it is user defined (object or variable or such), but what exactly is it? i look through the rest of the code and don;'t see SOMETHING defined elsewhere.
i am not sure if i am asking the question right. i don't understand what the SOMETHING is doing, or why it is there.
in particular, the code i am examining is
sql="exec SurveyDelete "&"'" & Session("StudentID") & " ' "
conn.execute(sql)
i understand the this statement will delete a record, but how does it handle "SurveyDelete", how does it know what the is when it is not defined anywhere else in the code?

exec (@strsql)
When I execute the above script, I immeaditely see the results in the query analyser like below:

------------- ----------- -------------
3 0 0
Looks like the indexdefrag did not happen since the logical fragmentation is still a high number like 30%.....
Just wondering whats goin on..
