Passing Column Name As Parameter To A Stored Procedure
Jul 20, 2005
Hi!
I want to pass a column name, sometimes a table name, to a stored
procedure, but it didn't work. I tried to define the data type as
char, vachar, nchar, text, but the result were same. Any one know how
to get it work?
Thanks a lot!!

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?
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 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)
values

Does anyone know how to pass a list of fields into a stored procedure and then use those fields in a select statement. Here's what I'm trying to do.
I have a front end application that allows the user to pick the fields they want return as a record set. Currently, all this is being done in the application. But, I'd like SQL to do it, if it's possible.
I'd pass the following into a stored procedure.
Set @Fields = "First, Last, ID" -- This is done in the application
Exec usp_return @Fields
Obviously, the following fails stored procedure doesn't work ...
I have a stored procedure which, initially, I had passed a single parameter into a WHERE clause (e.g ...WHERE CustomerCode = @CustCode). The parameter is passed using a DECommand object in VB6.
I now require the sp to return values for more than one customer and would like to use an IN clause (e.g ...WHERE CustomerCode IN(@CustCode). I know I could create multiple parameters (e.g. ...WHERE CustomerCode in (@CustCode1, @CustCode2,...etc), but do not want to limit the number of customers.
If I set CustCode to be KA1001, everything works fine. If I set CustCode to be KA1001, KA1002 it does not return any records.
I think the problem is in the way SQL Server concatenates the stored procedure before execution. Is what I am attempting to do possible? Is there any particular format I need to set the string parameter to? I've tried:
KA1001', 'KA1002 (in the hope SQL Server just puts single quotes either side of the string)
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)

EXEC spMultiValue " & Parameters!Month.Value &" its not returning anything. can anyone tell me how to pass multivalue parameter to stored procedure. Thanks for your help.
Hello All, I was hoping that someone had some wise words of wisdom/experience on this. Any assistance appreciated... feel free to direct me to a more efficient way... but I'd prefer to keep using a stored proc. I'm trying to pass the selected value of a dropdownlist as a stored procedure parameter but keep running into format conversion errors but I am able to test the query successfully in the SQLDatasource. What I would like to do is this: select * from tblPerson where lastnames Like "A%" . Where I pass the criteria after Like. I have the values of the drop down list as "%", "A%", "B%", .... I've been successfully configuring all of the other params, which includes another dropdown list (values bound to a lookup table also)... but am stuck on the above... Thank you for any assistance,
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?
I'm trying to create a Grid View from a stored procedure call, but whenever I try and test the query within web developer it says I did not supply the input parameter even though I am.I've run the stored procedure from a regular ASP page and it works fine when I pass a parameter. I am new to dotNET and visual web developer, anybody else had any luck with this or know what I'm doing wrong? My connection is fine because when I run a query without the parameter it works fine.Here is the code that is generated from web developer 2008 if that helps any...... <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:IMS3TestConnectionString %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:IMS3TestConnectionString.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="usp_getListColumns" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure"> <SelectParameters> <asp:querystringparameter DefaultValue="0" Name="FormID" QueryStringField="FormID" Type="Int32" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>
Hi, I pass a paramter of text data type in sql server (which crosspnds Memo data type n Access) to a stored procedure but the problem is that I do not know the crossponding DataTypeEnum to Text data type in SQL Server.
The exact error message that occurs is:
ADODB.Parameters (0x800A0E7C) Parameter object is improperly defined. Inconsistent or incomplete information was provided.
The error occurs in the following code line: .parameters.Append cmd.CreateParameter ("@EMedical", advarwchar, adParamInput)
I need to know what to write instead of advarwchar? Thanks in advance
I've created a varible timeStamp that I want to feed into a stored procedure but I'm not having any luck. I'm sure its a simple SSIS 101 problem that I can't see or I may be using the wrong syntax
in Execute SQL Task Editor I have conn type -- ole db connection -- some server sql source type -- direct input sql statement -- exec testStoredProc @timeStamp = ?
if I put a value direclty into the statement it works just fine: exec testStoredProc '02-25-2008'
This is the syntax I found to execute the procedure, I don't udnerstand few things about it.
1. why when I try to run it it changes it to exec testStoredProc @timeStamp = ? with error: EXEC construct or statement is not supported , followed by erro: no value given for one or more requreid parameters.
2. I tired using SQL commands exec testStoredProc @timeStamp and exec testStoredProc timeStamp but nothing happens. Just an error saying unable to convert varchar to datetime
3. Also from SRS I usually have to point the timeStamp to @timeStamp and I dont know how to do that here I thought it was part of the parameter mapping but I can't figure out what the parameter name and parameter size should be; size defaults to -1.
I thought this would be quite simple but can't find the correct syntax:ALTER Procedure usp_Product_Search_Artist_ProductTitle
(@ProductTitle varchar(255))
AS
SELECT ProductTitle
FROM tbl_Product
WHERE CONTAINS(dbo.tbl_Product.ProductTitle, @ProductTitle) My problem is that if I pass "LCD Flat Screen" as teh @ProductTitle parameter the query falls over as it contains spaces. Guess i'm looking for something like: WHERE CONTAINS(dbo.tbl_Product.ProductTitle, '"' + @ProductTitle + "'")Thanks in advance.R
HII m trying to use the following Store Procedure to search Suppliers... user provides a Column Name (Search By) and an Expression... but i m not getting it work properly... plz review it and tell me wots wrong with this stored procedure is...

I have a simple Gridview control that has a delete command link on it.If I use the delete SQL code in line it works fine. If I use a stored procedure to perform the SQL work, I can't determine how to pass the identity value to the SP.

I trying to create a general stored procedure which updates 1 out of 140 columns depending on the column name provided as a parameter. I'm not having much luck, just wondering if anyone else had tried to do this and whether it is actually possible? Any help would be much appreciated
Is there a way to pass the column name as a query parameter?? If I use '@Question', like below, I get an error. If I change it to the actual name of the column 'Question1', it works fine. However, I need it to be dynamic so I can pass the column name [Question1, Question2, Question3, etc...] in and not have to define this for each question.
Doesn't Work!!
Code:
SELECT
1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN @ColumnName > 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS 'Good', 1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN @ColumnName = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)/ COUNT(*) AS 'OK', 1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN @ColumnName < 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS 'Poor'
FROM tableA AS A INNER JOIN tableB AS B ON A.SessionID = B.SessionID
WHERE (A.SurveyID = @SurveyID) AND (A.SubmitDate BETWEEN @BeginDate AND @EndDate)
Works, but I need to pass in the column name dynamically.
Code:
SELECT
1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN Question1 > 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS 'Good', 1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN Question1 = 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)/ COUNT(*) AS 'OK', 1.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN Question1 < 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*) AS 'Poor'
FROM tableA AS A INNER JOIN tableB AS B ON A.SessionID = B.SessionID
WHERE (A.SurveyID = @SurveyID) AND (A.SubmitDate BETWEEN @BeginDate AND @EndDate)
I know passing table/column name as parameter to a stored procedure isnot good practice, but sometimes I need to do that occasionally. Iknow there's a way can do that but forget how. Can someone refresh mymemory?Thanks.Saiyou
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
