Regression Testing A Stored Procedure That Produces Multiple Rowsets
Nov 1, 2006
How do I write a regression test for a stored proc that produces multiple rowsets via multipl e select queries? E.g.
CREATE PROCEDURE myProc AS
SELECT 'Some stuff', GETDATE()
SELECT 'Some more stuff'
For single-select procs, I can create a temp table and INSERT #temp EXEC myProc, then evaluate the contents of the table to verify correct behavior, but that doesn't work in this case.
I have a stored procedure that creates a temporary table, and then populates it using an INSERT and then a series of UPDATE statements. The procedure then returns the temporary table which will contain data in all of its columns.
When I call this procedure from SSRS 2005, the rowset returned contains data in only those columns that are populated by the INSERT statement. The columns that are set via the UPDATE statements are all empty. I read (in the Hitchhikers Guide to Reporting Services) that SSRS will only process the first rowset in a stored procedure that generates multiple rowsets. Is this true? Is this why SSRS does not retrieve data for the columns that are populated by the UPDATE statements?

I also tried a query that populates some of its columns via subqueries.

Hi, I need to test for the existance of a stored proc on a specific database(s) on a server(s), and get the user assigned permissions/roles. Is there a built in system proc that returns such information? Thanks,
I am given a task to test a complex stored procedure that has been recently modified for performance. The stored procedure runs 2 processes based on different parameters provided to it in real time. The procedure has been modified to incresease its performance from 22hours to just 1 minute. One of the two processes that this SP handels have been tested and is thus very accurate. The testing of 2nd process is given to me and I am looking for some great help in how to go about testing it step by step. I can provide more info on the SP and how we increased its performance, if you are interested. I know its a lot to ask but I really need some help. I have limited knowledge in SQL.
I need to, ultimately, create a flatfile for exporting insurance information to a third-party vendor. Each individual is to have no more than 1 line per file, which contains their coverage information, if any, on 4 different type of insurance. What i need is for 2 fields in a table to determine the output for multiple fields in the flatfile.
What I have so far works, to an extent. If I have insurance types 1, 2, 4 (of types 1-4) required output is (__ = 2 blank spaces):
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
Y N __ MD XX Y N __ MD XX N __ __ __ __ Y N __ DN XX
If they have coverage, A always = Y, B always = N, C always = blank(null), D is their ins. type, E is their cov. type(CASE statement). if they DON'T have that type of coverage, A always = N and the remaining field are NULL.
After a lot of work, and scouring a forum or 2, I attempted a whole lot of CASE functions. Below is an sample of code representing the 1x statements. This same code is repeated 4 times with the 1x being altered with 2x, 3x, 4x.
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N' END AS 1A,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN 'N'
ELSE ' ' END AS 1B,
' ' AS 1C,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN HB.BENEFIT_PLAN
ELSE ' ' END AS 1D,
CASE HB.PLAN_TYPE
WHEN '10' THEN (CASE WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='1' THEN 'XX'
WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='2' THEN 'YY'
WHEN HB.COVRG_CD ='3' THEN 'ZZ'
ELSE 'WW' END)
ELSE ' ' END AS 1E,
It works to an extent. While the desires/required output it above, the output this produces (same scenario) is:
1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E
N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ N __ __ __ __ Y N __ DN XX
While there is supposed to be 1 line, regardless of number of insurance types, it only produces 1 line per type. I first tried this in Access, and was able to get it to work, but it required multiple queries resulting in a crosstab, export to Excel and manually manipulate the data, export to text file to manipulate, import back into Excel to manipulate, import back into Access and finally export into a flatfile. Far too much work to produce a file which is why I'm trying to convert it to raw SQL. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
This question is regarding the LogRegHelper - "A scorecard for Logistic Regression models" example in sqlserverdatamining Tips and Tricks page. I launched TestLogReg (Analysis Services Database associated with the project) and ran Logistic Regression over that. While the LogReg shows the highest score for IQ (107 - 121), a score of 558, the Logistic Regression shows that Parent Encouragement has the highest score for the case College Plans = 'Plans to Attend'. Can someone verify this and clarify?
I have a few other questions with LR
- In SQL Server 2005 LR Mining Model Viewer "favors" chart, what algorithm is used for generating Scores?
- Can I use this score as a feature selector? Higher score => stronger predictor (input)
- Is the coefficient weight algorithm used in LogReg wrong ?
Hello I am building a survey application. I have 8 questions. Textbox - Call reference Dropdownmenu - choose Support method Radio button lists - Customer satisfaction questions 1-5 Multiline textbox - other comments. I want to insert textbox, dropdown menu into a db table, then insert each question score into a score column with each question having an ID. I envisage to do this I will need an insert query for the textbox and dropdownlist and then an insert for each question based on ID and score. Please help me! Thanks Andrew
In the 70-461 objectives it says: Ensure code non regression by keeping consistent signature for procedure, views and function (interfaces); security implications...I think I understand what this means in general. They want us to be able to create a view that will still be able to call the original data even if the table is modified. In other words, the view table shouldn't easily be broken. ie, type a code that does NOT ensure non regression, then change the code so that it does ensure non regression.
Ok, so i have this program, and at the moment, it generates an sql statement based on an array of db fields, and an array of values...
my question is this, is there any way to create a stored procedure that has multiple dynamic colums, where the amount of colums could change based on how many are in the array, and therefore passed by parameters...
if this is possible, is it then better the pass both columns and values as parameters, (some have over 50 columns)...or just create a seperate stored procedure for each scenario?? i have no worked out how many this could be, but there is 6 different arrays of colums, 3 possible methods (update, insert and select), and 2 options for each of those 24...so possibly upto 48 stored procs...
this post has just realised how deep in im getting. i might just leave it as it is, and have it done in my application...
but my original question stands, is there any way to add a dynamic colums to a stored proc, but there could be a different number of colums to update or insert into, depending on an array??
Ok, this is kind of an odd problem. Back in June we were having problems with our call manager software, and they decided to have it just start usinga new database. Now I'm trying to generate some reports which need to cover both the old call stats and the new, so that means the stored procedure builds a temp table and populates it from both databases.This works perfectly fine in Management Studio, and when being called from Excel.However when I try to call it from an ASP.NET web app using SqlCommand.ExecuteReader(), I only get results from the new database!What on earth could cause that?
I have put together the stored-procedure below to carry out update, delete and insert queries in one visit. The code has been pieced together from the pages listed at the bottom. I pass the procedure three XML strings and after testing it a few times it seems to work fine. I’m fairly new to stored procedures though, so I was hoping someone would answer these questions: 1. Is this an acceptable way to do this? Can you foresee any problems?2. I want to make this an ‘all-or-nothing’ event, i.e. if any part of the procedure fails, it must all fail. How would I achieve that?3. I want to know in my calling code what the result is. I’ve used output parameters before, but I’m unsure how to combine one with 2 above. Sorry this is a long script, but I’ve removed most of the column names and values to shorten it.

I need help in figuring out the proper way of writing a stored procedure out correctly to get my desired datasource. In my ocnIdToRatePlanOptions table, I will recieve a parameter via request.querystring @ocnId to filter out my result set for ocnIdToRatePlan table. Based on the ocnId filtered I want it to select the corresponding tables too.So, if a querystring is passed that is 3955 in my ocnIdToRatePlanOptions table, I want it to use it to create a select for RatePlan1. If a querystring is passed that is 1854 in my ocnIdToRatePlanOptions table, I want it to use to create a select for RatePlan2. Is this possible? ocnIdToRatePlanOptions Table [otrpoRefId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,[FKocnId] [nvarchar](4) NOT NULL,[FKrpoRefId] [int] NOT NULL,1, 3955, 12, 1854, 2RatePlan1 Table[rp1RefId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,[FKocnId] [nvarchar](4) NOT NULL[fee] [decimal](18, 2) NOT NULL1, 3955, 1.002, 2350, 2.00RatePla2 Table[rp2RefId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,[FKocnId] [nvarchar](4) NOT NULL,[q_0_50] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ratePlan2_q_0_50] DEFAULT ((225)),[q_51_100] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ratePlan2_q_51_100] DEFAULT ((325)),[q_101_150] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ratePlan2_q_101_150] DEFAULT ((345)),[q_151_200] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ratePlan2_q_151_200] DEFAULT ((400)),[q_201_250] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ratePlan2_q_201_250] DEFAULT ((450)),[q_251_300] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ratePlan2_q_251_300] DEFAULT ((500)),[q_301_400] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ratePlan2_q_300_400] DEFAULT ((650)),[q_401_600] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ratePlan2_q_401_600] DEFAULT ((950)),[q_601] [numeric](18, 2) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_ratePlan2_q_601] DEFAULT ((1.50)) 1,1854, 225.00, 325.00, 345.00, 400.00, 450.00, 500.00, 650.00, 950.00, 1.502,8140, 225.00, 325.00, 345.00, 400.00, 450.00, 500.00, 650.00, 950.00, 1.50
I need to write a stored procedure with 20 parameters as input and it searches in a table . Most of the parameters or NULL , how do I write this procedure without using any dynamic queries.
Ex : To find a customer I have a proc which can accept 20 parameters like CustName, City, State , Phone , Street etc.
Im passing only Custname as parameters and other 19 parameters are NULL.How do I write the WHERE clause ?
Hi, I'm trying to move an asp site from an Access DB to SQL Server. The site features a search system which allows multiple keywords to be used in up to three fields.
The way I used to manage this was very similar to how it is described below (taken from http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=4&txtCodeId=6701):
"So you're replacing all of the middle spaces with a SQL 'and' statement. In plain English, if your search phrase is "print bug", this now becomes "'%print%' AND field LIKE '%bug%'" when you concatenate the leading and trailing %'s and quotes (this is for Microsoft Access drivers, other drivers may use different wildcards)--so just append this phrase to the "WHERE field LIKE " phrase, and you're in business."
The trouble I'm having is that the search string is sitting in a Stored Procedure. How can I dynamically append to the search string in this case?
If it isn't possible, how can I go about this?
Cheers all. __________________________________________________ ___ Code: ASP: item=request(item) '****item = Replace(item, " ","%' AND item like '%")**** - needs attention rs.Open "Exec getlist "& item &"" objConn, 3
SP: CREATE PROCEDURE getlist @item nvarchar(255) SELECT item FROM publications WHERE item LIKE '%' + @item + '%' GO
I believe we can you multiple statements in stored procedures?
Suppose I have a stored procedure and I pass parameters to this SP. What I am aiming for is to pass some values to the stored procedure, use a select statement to retrieve some values, then have two update statements as below. Updating the same table but with opposite values, both passed as a parameter and retrived, as given below:
I want to use 3 transactions in a single stored procedure.First it should update the value and then if the 1st transaction executed successfully then 2nd transaction should start,if 2nd trans executed successfully then 3rd trans should execute.After that only i want to commit all the transactions that is 1,2,3.If any of the trans fails the other shouldn't execute.How do i do this?

how can we use 2 databases in 1 stored procedure. like for example i want to get records from 1 table and insert it to other tables in another database. thnx for the help.
I'm working on a project for fun with some friends and have run into an issue with stored procedures. I've dealt with SQL quite a bit at my current job, but always from the perspective of somebody querying the database. The database was always managed by someone else and I never had to worry about the underlying code. Now, with my own project at home, I'm trying to deal with a situation and would like to use one, but I'm not sure if it is the best option and if so, exactly how to go about it.
Imagine a site that tracks movies. I have 3 tables:
Movies ( MovieID, Title, DirectorID, ActorID ) Actors ( ActorID, Name ) Director (DirectorID, Name)
This is an overly simple example, but it gets to the heart of my problem.
Okay, now what I'm wanting to do is to be able to write a procedure that would let me create my entries from just one call -- for instance
that would do the following things: -Look and see if the given director and actor already exist (from previous films) -If they do, grab their ID values and use those in the new movie entry -If they do not, create new entries and get THOSE ID values to use in the new movie entry
Can this be done in a stored procedure (I'm pretty sure it can be) and what sort of commands should I look into -- I'm not looking for a complete solution, cause I want to learn, but I am having trouble finding examples that fit my scenario.
Hi!I got 2 stored procedure, proc1 executes proc2,proc2 does some updates and inserts on different tables ...proc1:ALTER PROCEDUREASexecute proc2SELECT * FROM tblFoo______________________my problem is, that when executing proc1, I receive the message:"THE SP executed successfully, but did not return records!"But I need the resultset from "SELECT * FROM tblFoo" that is executedat the end of proc1.I'm not sure, but I think that I solved a similira problem with "setnocount on", I put it into both SP, but it's still the same ... noresultset ...How can I display "SELECT * FROM tblFoo" within a SP, where SQLstatements are executed before?!Thank you!
Just wondering if this is good form:Alter Procedure "mySPName"@UniqueID intASset nocount onset xact_abort offDELETE FROM tblNameOneWHERE(tblNameOne.UniqueID = @UniqueID)DELETE FROM tblNameTwoWHERE(tblNameTwo.UniqueID = @UniqueID)Is it a good idea to run multiple detele statements within one SP?thanks,lq
If I have multiple selects statements in one stored procedure. How do I access the different results in a report in Reporting Services? Where the first select is the detail lines of my report and the second select is just a field for a my header? Or am I going about this wrong with putting it all the results I want into one stored procedure for one report?
Example stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[proc_DepositsByOfficer]
As
SELECT MASTER_DSC.APP
, MASTER_DSC.BRANCH
, qlkpOfficer.strName
, MASTER_DSC.DSC_OFFICER_49
, qlkpBranchName.strDescrS
, MASTER_DSC.DSC_CUR_BAL_21
, Case MASTER_DSC.APP WHEN 1 Then DSC_CUR_BAL_21 End AS DDA_BAL
, Case MASTER_DSC.APP WHEN 2 Then DSC_CUR_BAL_21 End AS SAV_BAL
, Case MASTER_DSC.APP WHEN 3 Then DSC_CUR_BAL_21 End AS CD_BAL
, MASTER_DSC.DSC_INT_RATE_45
, Case When [DSC_CUR_BAL_21]>0 Then ([DSC_CUR_BAL_21]*[DSC_INT_RATE_45])/100 Else 0 End As ANN_EXP
, Case When [DSC_CUR_BAL_21]>0 And MASTER_DSC.APP=1 Then ([DSC_CUR_BAL_21]*[DSC_INT_RATE_45])/100 Else 0 End AS ANN_EXP_DDA
, Case When [DSC_CUR_BAL_21]>0 And MASTER_DSC.APP=2 Then ([DSC_CUR_BAL_21]*[DSC_INT_RATE_45])/100 Else 0 End AS ANN_EXP_SAV
, Case When [DSC_CUR_BAL_21]>0 And MASTER_DSC.APP=3 Then ([DSC_CUR_BAL_21]*[DSC_INT_RATE_45])/100 Else 0 End AS ANN_EXP_CD
, Case MASTER_DSC.APP WHEN 1 Then 1 End AS DDA_Count
, Case MASTER_DSC.APP WHEN 2 Then 1 End AS SAV_Count
, Case MASTER_DSC.APP WHEN 3 Then 1 End AS CD_Count
, qlkpApplicationCode.strDescrS AS strApplCode
FROM
MASTER_DSC
INNER JOIN qlkpApplicationCode ON MASTER_DSC.APP=qlkpApplicationCode.dblReference
LEFT JOIN qlkpOfficer ON MASTER_DSC.DSC_OFFICER_49=qlkpOfficer.intID
LEFT JOIN qlkpBranchName ON MASTER_DSC.BRANCH=qlkpBranchName.dblReference
Hi Guys, I hope someone here can help me. I am writing a stored procedure that simply searches for a given value across multiple databases on the same server. So far all well and good.Now, the problem is if the user types in more than one word into the search field.I have put a partial section of code here, there is obviously more, but most of it you wouldn't need to see. SELECT @sql = N'SELECT @count = COUNT('+ @dbname +'.dbo.orders.order_id) FROM '+ @dbname +'.dbo.orders '+ N' INNER JOIN '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer ON '+ @dbname +'.dbo.orders.cust_id = '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer.cust_id '+ N' WHERE '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer.forename LIKE ''%'+ @SearchStr + '%'' OR '+ @dbname +'.dbo.customer.Surname LIKE ''%'+ @SearchStr + '%'''
EXEC sp_executesql @sql, N'@count int OUTPUT', @count = @results OUTPUT Now this code works perfectly well if the user only enters one word, however i need to make sure that the Stored procedure will function if the user enters 2 words, such as John Smith. I need the procedure to search the forename for 'john' & 'Smith' and the same for the surname. It should also work if the user type 'John Michael Smith' - if you understand.I am really struggling with this one.Thanks in advance.Darren
Hello, I am looking at writing a SP without much success which enables multiple filtering on one field. Something like below: Input field: Product Description So if the user enters: "Large Drill" OR "Drill Large" the same resultset will be returned. SELECT * FROM products WHERE products.prod_desc contains both "Large" AND "Drill" I guess there'll need to be a nested Select and loop to parse the space separated input field. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you Lee
I’m binding the distinct values from each of 9 columns to 9 drop-down-lists using a stored procedure. The SP accepts two parameters, one of which is the column name. I’m using the code below, which is opening and closing the database connection 9 times. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? newSqlCommand = New SqlCommand("getDistinctValues", newConn)newSqlCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure Dim ownrParam As New SqlParameter("@owner_id", SqlDbType.Int)Dim colParam As New SqlParameter("@column_name", SqlDbType.VarChar)newSqlCommand.Parameters.Add(ownrParam)newSqlCommand.Parameters.Add(colParam) ownrParam.Value = OwnerID colParam.Value = "Make"newConn.Open()ddlMake.DataSource = newSqlCommand.ExecuteReader()ddlMake.DataTextField = "distinct_result"ddlMake.DataBind()newConn.Close() colParam.Value = "Model"newConn.Open()ddlModel.DataSource = newSqlCommand.ExecuteReader()ddlModel.DataTextField = "distinct_result"ddlModel.DataBind()newConn.Close() and so on for 9 columns…
is there a way when making a stored procedure if i can enter the information in multiple tables?? say the primary key into another table to link the relationship? or should i just pull it out and then put in?
Hi all, I’m returning two values from a stored procedure, one is a basic string confirming that an email has been sent and the other is the normal value returned from running an INSERT statement. So in my code I’m using the ExecuteNonQuery() method. I’m not sure how to handle both returned values in my code in my data layer. This is what I have: ExecuteNonQuery(cmd); return Convert.ToString(cmd.Parameters["@ReturnedValue"].Value).ToLower(); Obviously I’d need to return the value returned by the ExecuteNonQuery method as well, normally I’d simply convert the value to an int and precede this with the return keyword like so: return (int)ExecuteNonQuery(cmd); Obviously I can’t do this as I need to return two values, the normal value returned by the ExecuteNonQuery() method and my own output parameter value. Any ideas how I can do both? My current method containing the code further above returns a string but clearly this doesn’t help. I’m guessing that maybe I should return an object array so I can return both values? I haven’t encountered this problem before so I’m just guessing. Please help. Thanks
I have a SP that has the correct syntax. However when I run my web-app it gives me this error: "Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS. " The procedure takes in three parameters and retrieves 23 values from the DB to display on my form. Any ideas?
