hi, does it make a difference to write the following select statement in either query window or create a sp and then calling the store procedure to be executed..
select * from authors
OR
create procedure authors as
select * from authors
lets assume that we have million records in the author table. is it faster to run the query from within a store procedure or not ?
thanks for your input

Hello,
I am not sure if this possible, but I have store procedures that access to multiple databases, therefore I currently have to hardcode my database name in the queries. The problem start when I move my store procedures into the production, and the database name in production is different. I have to go through all my store procedures and rename the DBname. I am just wonder if there is way that I could define my database name as a global variable and then use that variable as my DB name instead of hardcode them?
something like
Declare @MyDatabaseName varchar(30)
set @MyDatabaseName = "MyDB"
SELECT * from MyDatabaseName.dbo.MyTable
Any suggestion? Please.
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to check query execution plan of a store procedure from create script (before creating it)?
Basically the developers want to know how a newly developed procedure will perform in production environment. Now, I don't want to create it in production for just checking the execution plan. However they've provided SQL script for the procedure. Now wondering is there any way to look at the execution plan for this procedure from the script provided?
Is there a way to do a SELECT TOP # using a variable for the #?
In other words I'm doing a SELECT TOP 50* FROM DATATABLE
If I pass an @value for the number

Hi all,
I have a SP that return a dataset and I was thinking to execute that SP inside of other SP then catch the dataset to put into a variable or put into a temp table. What I know is you can not use recordset on output and input parameter in SP correct me if im wrong. I'm just wondering if I there is a work around in this scenario.
Thanks and have a nice day to all.
I have a SELECT query that also needs to call a sproc with a column name passed in as a parameter.
Unfortunately I cannot use a TVF, as the sproc code references a TVF on a linked server.
What is the best option?

u.UserID,
u.Username,
u.Address,
EXEC dbo.[GetResult] u.UserID AS 'Result'
FROM dbo.UserTests u
I have a stored procedure in which I'll select some rows based on a condition and I need to update the status of those rows within the same stored procedure.For e.g.
Create Procedure [dbo].[myProcedure] As BEGIN BEGIN TRAN T1 SET NOCOUNT ON SELECT TOP 5 * INTO #TempTable FROM myTable WHERE ENABLED = 1 AND FetchDate<=GetDate(); UPDATE myTable SET [Status] = 'Locked' From myTable Inner Join on #TempTable myTable.id = #TempTable.id; SELECT * FROM #TempTable; DROP Table #TempTable; COMMIT TRAN T1 END
The Stored Procedure works fine when I debug in SQL. I'm accessing the StoredProcedure through C# like this.
private ProcessData[] ReadFromDb(string StoredProcedure, SqlConnection Connection) { List<ProcessData> Data = new List<ProcessData>(); SqlCommand Command = new SqlCommand(StoredProcedure, Connection); Command.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure; try { Command.CommandTimeout = CONNECTION_TIMEOUT;
[code]....
The problem is I'm getting the required rows in C# but the update query in stored procedure is not working.

Not sure if this is possible, but maybe. I have a table that contains a bunch of logs.
I'm doing something like SELECT * FROM LOGS. The primary key in this table is LogID.
I have another table that contains error messages. Each LogID could have multiple error messages associated with it. To get the error messages.
When I perform my first select query listed above, I would like one of the columns to be populated with ALL the error messages for that particular LogID (SELECT * FROM ERRORS WHERE LogID = MyLogID).
Any thoughts as to how I could accomplish such a daring feat?
HI, I'm a simple store procedure that returns a result such as this one:

select fields from table where id in (execute sp)
how can I make this?

I want to create store procedure which will print out something like this:
Insert into [dbname].dbo.[gameBooks] value (@gameBookID, gameBookTitle, ganeVolumn)
But first one print out good, as I expected. I either got nothing or the error message on second piece.

Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'Insert into [dbname].dbo.[cookBooks] value (' to data type int.
Any Help will be greatly appreciated.
on SQL 2005 SP1.
Here is my example code (not the real one):
Create Procedure [dbo].[makeNewString]

Declare bookID int
Declare newRowID int
Declare insertBookInfoString nvarchar(150)
select 'Declare @newBookID int'
Set insertBookInforString =

from [dbname].dbo.[gameBooks])
where @gameBookID=@myBookID
Print insertBookInforString
select 'SET @newRowID = Scope_Identity()'
print @newRowID
select 'Declare @newBookID int'
Set insertBookInforString =
(Select 'Insert into [dbname].dbo.[cookBooks] value (' + @cookBookID +',' + cookBookTitle +','+cookVolumn+')'
from [dbname].dbo.[cookBooks]
where @cookBookID=@myBookID)
Print insertBookInforString
first insertBookInfoString prints out fine.
But I kept this error on second part:
------------------------------
DECLARE Declare @newBookID int
(1 row(s) affected)
Insert into [dbname].dbo.[gameBooks] value (@gameBookID, gameBookTitle, ganeVolumn) (this is what I want)

Hello,
Lets say I have a SP that return 1000 records,
do I get any better speed if doing it on a SP instead of just SELECT without an SP ?
if I have many users on a web-site that will execute this SP - will they get any better
speed because it is a SP ? - can SP cache itself - if so - for how long ?
(Why should I use SP if not passing any parameters ?)

Hi, not exactly too sure if this can be done but I have a need to run a query which will return a list of values from 1 column. Then I need to iterate this list to produce the resultset for return.

SELECT table1.val1 FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2

I have a query that performs a comparison between 2 different databases and returns the results of the comparison. It returns 2 columns. The 1st column is the value of the object being compared, and the 2nd column is a number representing any discrepancies.What I would like to do is use the results from this 1st query in the where clause of another separate query so that this 2nd query will only run for any primary values from the 1st query where a secondary value in the 1st query is not equal to zero.I was thinking of using an "IN" function in the 2nd query to pull data from the 1st column in the 1st query where the 2nd column in the 1st query != 0, but I'm having trouble ironing out the correct syntax, and conceptualizing this optimally.
While I would prefer to only return values from the 1st query where the comparison value != 0 in order to have a concise list to work with, I am having difficulty in that the comparison value is a mathematical calculation of 2 different tables in 2 different databases, and so far I've been forced to include it in the select criteria because the where clause does not accept it.Also, I am not a DBA by trade. I am a system administrator writing SQL code for reporting data from an application I support.
I have a column colC in a table myTable that has a value (e.g. '0X'). The position of a non-zero character in column colC refers to the ordinal position of another column in the table myTable (in the aforementioned example, colB).
To get a column name (i.e., colA or colB) from table myTable, I can join ("ON cte.pos = cn.ORDINAL_POSITION") to INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS for that table catalog, schema and name. But I want to show the value of what is in that column (e.g., 'ABC'), not just the name. Hoping for:
COLUMN_NAME Value
----------- -----
colB 123
colA XYZ
I've tried dynamic SQL to no success, probably not executing the concept correctly...
Below is what I have:
CREATE TABLE myTable (colA VARCHAR(3), colB VARCHAR(3), colC VARCHAR(3))
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('ABC', '123', '0X')
INSERT INTO myTable (colA, colB, colC) VALUES ('XYZ', '789', 'X0')
;WITH cte AS
(
SELECT CAST(PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC) AS SMALLINT) pos, STUFF(colC, 1, PATINDEX('%[^0]%', colC), '') colC

When viewing an estimated query plan for a stored procedure with multiple query statements, two things stand out to me and I wanted to get confirmation if I'm correct.
1. Under <ParameterList><ColumnReference... does the xml attribute "ParameterCompiledValue" represent the value used when the query plan was generated?
<ParameterList>
<ColumnReference Column="@Measure" ParameterCompiledValue="'all'" />
</ParameterList>
</QueryPlan>
</StmtSimple>
2. Does each query statement that makes up the execution plan for the stored procedure have it's own execution plan? And meaning the stored procedure is made up of multiple query plans that could have been generated at a different time to another part of that stored procedure?

Hi,
Please help me with an SQL Query that fetches all the records from the three tables but a unique record for each forum and topicid with the maximum lastpostdate. I have to bind the result to a GridView.Please provide separate solutions for SqlServer2000/2005.
I have three tables namely – Forums,Topics and Threads in SQL Server2000 (scripts for table creation and insertion of test data given at the end). Now, I have formulated a query as below :-
SELECT ALL f.forumid,t.topicid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate,(select count(threadid) from threads where topicid=t.topicid) as NoOfThreads
FROM
Forums f FULL JOIN Topics t ON f.forumid=t.forumid
FULL JOIN Threads th ON t.topicid=th.topicid
GROUP BY t.topicid,f.forumid,t.name,th.author,th.lastpostdate
ORDER BY t.topicid ASC,th.lastpostdate DESC
Whose result set is as below:-
forumid
topicid
name
author
lastpostdate

0 I want all the rows from the Forums,Topics and Threads table and the row with the maximum date (the last post date of the thread) as shown above.
The scripts for creating the tables and inserting test data is as follows in an already created database:-
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[FK__Topics__forumid__79A81403]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsForeignKey') = 1)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Topics] DROP CONSTRAINT FK__Topics__forumid__79A81403
GO
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[FK__Threads__topicid__7C8480AE]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsForeignKey') = 1)
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Threads] DROP CONSTRAINT FK__Threads__topicid__7C8480AE
GO
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Forums]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Forums]
GO
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Threads]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Threads]
GO
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[Topics]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[Topics]

Can anyone tell me or point me in the direction of how I can store select query results to a variable in VB.NET? Im using the SqlDataSource control with dropdowns and textboxes for searching. I want to store the search results in a variable on the button click event.
