Error: Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The SUBSTRING Function.
Sep 28, 2007Hi,
I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure:
**************
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime
as
begin
DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)
truncate table ForEthnicPivot
INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot
SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity
FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode
where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate
GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team
SET @Teams = ''
--// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.
SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],'
FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team
--// Remove the trailing comma
SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1)
--// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list
--// of dates for the columns
EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' )
end
************
I can call the function:
exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'
and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error
message:
There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.
Anyone had similar error and sorted it?

Sql 2005 ... Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The SUBSTRING Function.
Oct 9, 2006Hi,
I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error,
��SQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. ��
Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look.
The package runs without error when I execute the package itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Odd Error Upon SqlDataReader.Read() Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The Substring Function.
Nov 12, 2003An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error:
"Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."
Here's the code in question:
orderConnection.Open()
orderReader = orderCommand.ExecuteReader()
setControls(orderReader)
...
Private Sub setControls(ByVal dr As SqlDataReader)
If (dr.Read()) Then '<--*******problem line*******
The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?

SQL XML :: Scalar Valued Function Slow Querying XML Passed As Parameter
May 28, 2015I have a procedure that calls a SVF to convert an xmldocument. The ultimate purpose is to update the xml in a column in a multi-million row table. The xml is stored as varchar(MAX), it was supposed to carry any type of text, initially at least.
My question is: why is the xml-parsing performed inside the function much slower when i pass the xmldocument as type xml than when it is passed as varchar(MAX) and the CAST to xml is within the function? Does processing the xml input parameter in SlowFunction involve expensive crossing of some context border?
The two versions of the SVF (they return the rowcount in this simplified example):
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[FastFunction]
(
@inDetaljerText varchar(MAX)
)
RETURNS int
[Code] ....
The two versions of the SP
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[FastProcedure]

Substring With Zero Length?
Sep 19, 2007I'm using a substring expression in a Derived Column transformation to create a new column (string data) out of a segment of another. The length of the new column data is calculated at run time based on the contents of other columns, and under some circumstances may be zero.
Is this kocher, or will it lead to 'unpredictable' results? Coz unexpected results is what I'm getting, not in the row concerned, but in the rows following......

RS 2005: Stored Procedure With Parameter It Runs In The Data Tab But The Report Parameter Is Not Passed To It
Feb 19, 2007Hello,
since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest]
@Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS
BEGIN
declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);
SET NOCOUNT ON
set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table'
if (@Name <> '')
begin
set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + ''''
end
EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery
end
Inside my business Intelligence Project I created:
-the shared data source with the connection String
- a data set :
CommandType = Stored Procedure
Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest
When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.
Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter...
So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name
allow blank value is checked and is non-queried
the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!
What is wrong? What I forgot??
Thankx for any help!

Make Use Of An Passed XML Parameter
Nov 19, 2007I have tested the following code, and it works for me:
DECLARE @XML XML
SET @XML = '
<DocumentElement>
<data>
<item code="ABCDEFG" quantity="1" sort="0" />
<item code="XCFVGBF" quantity="1" sort="0" />
<item code="ABCDEFG" quantity="10" sort="0" />
</data>
</DocumentElement>'
SELECT SUM(x.qty * ISNULL(p.price_mn,0))
FROM (SELECT [Code] = A.A.value('@code','varchar(20)'),
[Qty] = A.A.value('@quantity','INT')
FROM @xml.nodes('/DocumentElement/data/item') AS A(A)) X
LEFT JOIN productprice_t P ON p.code_id = x.code
The question is, how can I do this if the XML is in a different format & doesn't use any attributes?
So it looks like this (which I'm getting from an ADO.Net datatable using .WriteXML):
<DocumentElement>
<data>
<code>ABCDEFG</mercurycode>
<quantity>1</quantity>
<sort>0</sort>
</data>
<data>
<mercurycode>XCDFEG</mercurycode>
<quantity>2</quantity>
<sort>0</sort>
</data>
<data>
<code>ABCDEFG</mercurycode>
<quantity>10</quantity>
<sort>0</sort>
</data>
</DocumentElement>
Parameter Value Not Being Passed For My SProc
Mar 19, 2007I am quite new to SSRS and am having some difficulties in trying to develop a new report via Business Intelligence Studio based on a stored procedure which requires the input of 1 parameter, and also has an optional parameter which I default to NULL in the sproc.
When I create my dataset I select the given sproc I want and when I attempt to execute it, I am prompted for the parameters the sproc expects.
However, when I enter a value in the dialog for the required Parameter I get a SQL error indicating that the parameter the sproc expects was not supplied. I have profiled the call and see the attempt to execute the sproc, but no parameter value.
Can some one tell me why the value I enter is not being passed to the sproc in my database ? Is there some special syntax that I need to use ?
I have scanned a number of sites & through the books I have and can't find anything on this. From what I have read, when I exec my sproc the parameters get recongnized & I can just enter my values. This doesn't seem to be the case.
Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated !!!
Thanks.

Substring Function
Jun 20, 2008it's early in the morning (well it is here anyway) and i need a shot of logic...
in the data base i'm currently working with i have a varchar field that holds either a number or a collection of numbers in square brackets. I need to extract the number or the first number in square brackets if it's a list. i know it's gonna be a simple one but my head just won't do it?? i'm trying with substring and charindex to determine the position of the '[' but just not getting it this morning
quick sample of what the data in this column may look like...
declare @t table (col varchar(30))
insert into @t
select '2' union all
select '[5] [4]' union all
select ' [12] [1]'
so i need to get...
col
-------
2
5
12
EDIT-
OK, so i get this to work but only if there is actually square brackets
declare @t table (col varchar(30))
insert into @t
--select '2'union all
select '[5] [4]'union all
select ' [12] [1]'
select col
,substring(col, charindex('[',col)+1, charindex(']',col)-charindex('[',col)-1)
from @t

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhat Value Needs To Be Passed To Parameter In WHERE To Negate The Filtering
Apr 9, 2008I am using two drop downs, like so:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ChurchStateDrop" runat="server" DataSourceID="ChurchStateDropData" DataTextField="State" DataValueField="State" AutoPostBack="True" onselectedindexchanged="ChurchStateDrop_SelectedIndexChanged" AppendDataBoundItems="True"> <asp:ListItem Value="?????"

Selected="True" Text="All Cities" /></asp:DropDownList>
I have ????? in the value fields because I don't know what value needs to be passed to negate filtering (to choose all). The Dropdowns have the following SQLDatasources:<asp:SqlDataSource ID="ChurchStateDropData" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:tceDatabaseOnlineSQLConnection %>" SelectCommand="SELECT DISTINCT [State] FROM [ChurchView]" DataSourceMode="DataReader"></asp:SqlDataSource>

Now, lets say I wanted to pass a value to the WHERE statement in ChurchCityDropData to coincide with 'All States', what would I replace value="??????" with? Now you may think I'm crazy to do such a thing, but this actually has to do with adding a Denomination Dropdown to show Denominations from all states or all cities. I will figure out the best logic for that later, I just want to know the wildcard to pass to the parameter to choose all states (negate filtering).
How To Get Parameter Passed To SQL Query From Access
Jul 23, 2005I am new to sql and very familiar with access. I am using a verylarge database(130M records) in ms sql2000 and think I need to frontend it with access for reports and forms, etc..I have some questions:1) Is there a way in SQL to prompt a user for input at the running ofa query like the [what is your name] construct in an access query?2) I can't seem to create calculated fields in a view in sql. Inaccess I put "total:=hours*rate" and a new column would be createdwhich would contain the total.3) I normally would create a form in access from which the accessqueries would pull their variables and then insert those variables inthe queries or reports, etc. How would this be accomplished usingsql.4) Lastly and probably most basic. How does a "real" sql developercreate reports and forms to interact with the enduser? I am usingaccess as a front end, but am open to suggestions.Thanks,Brad
View 1 Replies View RelatedWHERE Clause Using Different Column Passed By Parameter
Jul 30, 2007Hi all,
I'd think this is possible but I'm having trouble getting data returned from the query. Fields PART_NUMBER and INTERNAL_SKU exist in the SKU table. This will be inside a SP. If user passes 'PN' as first parameter then I'd need to have the WHERE clause by PART_NUMBER, if he passes 'SK' (or anything else for now) then the WHERE clause shold be by SKU.
Can't I just build the WHERE by replacing @SearchField with its value ? I've looked up the CASE statement but I don't think it does what I need.
DECLARE @strSearchType varchar(2)
DECLARE @strSearchValue varchar(15)
DECLARE @SearchField varchar(15)
set @strSearchType = 'PN'
set @strSearchValue = '1234567'
IF @strSearchType = 'PN'
begin
set @SearchField = 'PART_NUMBER'
end
ELSE

set @SearchField = 'INTERNAL_SKU'
end
SELECT
SKU as 'SKU',
PART_NUMBER as 'PartNumber',
DESCRIPTION as 'Description'

SQL Server 2012 :: Possible To Tell Whether Function Passed A Value Or Used Default Value
Apr 22, 2015I have a function that accepts a date parameter and uses getdate() as its default value. If a date is passed in, I'm going to have to find records using the datediff method based on input. If no date is passed, I am going to bypass the datediff logic and search for records based on a column called "is_current" which will reduce the query time.
However, I don't know how to tell if the date value in the function came from an input or was the default.
