Sp_start_job Not In The List
Jul 13, 2007
I'm not able to find sp_start_job under system stored procedures in msdb. If I just run sp_start_job I get execute permission denied. If I run sp_helptext sp_start_job I get the below error
The object 'sp_start_job' does not exist in database 'msdb' or is invalid for this operation
I am not sure, what is missing, permission or the system procedure itself is not there?
Thanks

I'm using sp_start_job to run a job from a stored procedure. This is fine but I want to know the result ie. success or failure. I'm not having much luck with @output_flag. I can't get it to return anything.

Hi:
I would like to use sp_start_job to execute a SSIS Package but I am not sure how it works. If there are two requests run the job two times simultaneously or sequentially?

I need to disable and move orphaned computer objects in my Active Directory. The SQL Agent has permission to do this. I have created a stored procedure for the task with intentions of executing it with sp_start_job. However, I cannot execute it in SQL 2005. How can I grant permission to this (login) to execute sp_start_job? This is all run from a web page and NOT the Query Window.

We want to start a job remotely on another SQL7 server.
innocently we thought that should be no problem with sp_start_job.
We used the command listed below:
use msdb
go
EXEC sp_start_job @job_name='MyJobName', @server_name='blablabla'
The strange thing is, that sp_start_job ignores the @server_name at all.
Even if we enter complete nonsense for @server_name the job gets started as long it is present on the local sqlserver instance.
sp_start_job seems to search locally for the given job_name, only.
Consequently if we enter the remote server's name the job fails as the
jobname is not present on the local sqlserver.
Any ideas what's going wrong here.

Code Snippet
ALTER procedure [dbo].[sp_MyProc]
AS
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job @job_name = 'MyJob'
I'm trying to write a procedure that calls a job. If I execute it (calling it from adp) as a user that is not db_owner (I guess), I get the error: The Execute permission was denied on the object sp_start_job, database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'.
How can I resolve this problem?

Hi guys, please see if you can help me with this...
I have an activation stored procedure that starts a SQL Agent Job which executes a SSIS package. However when the stored procedure runs it fails with the error EXECUTE permission denied on object 'sp_start_job'. The message queue was created under the €˜sa€™ account, and I have tried setting the activation procedure to run as SELF, OWNER as well as creating a user account with sysadmin rights and running it under that account, all with the same result. When I run the stored procedure manually (under pretty much any of the accounts I have set up) it executes without any errors and kicks off the job it is meant to. The error only occurs when the stored procedure is activated via the service broker message queue.
I changed the stored proc to write out system_user and current_user to a table so that I could see what it was running as and as it turns out it appears to be running as the correct user (which is €˜sa€™ when set to SELF) but not inheriting the correct permissions.
Is this a bug, and if so is there some work-around for it?

So at the moment, I don't have a function by the name CONCATENATE. What I like to do is to list all those different values that go with a single CASE_ID to appear as a a comma separate list. You might have a better way of doing without even writing a function
So the output would look like :
CASE_ID VARIABLE
=====================
1 [ABC],[HDR],[GHHHHH]
2 [ABCSS],[CCHDR],[XXGHHVVVHHH],[KKKJU],[KLK]
SELECT
preop.Case_ID,
dbo.Concatenate( '[' + CAST(preop.value_text AS VARCHAR) + ']' ) as variable
FROM
dbo.TBL_Preop preop
WHERE
preop.Deleted_CD = 0
GROUP BY
preop.Case_ID

I know I can do a JOIN(parameter, "some seperator") and it will build me a list/string of all the values in the multiselect parameter.
However, I want to do the same thing with all the occurances of a field in my result set (each row being an occurance).
For example say I have a form that is being printed which will pull in all the medications a patient is currently listed as having perscriptions for. I want to return all those values (say 8) and display them on a single line (or wrap onto additional lines as needed).
Something like:
List of current perscriptions: Allegra, Allegra-D, Clariton, Nasalcort, Sudafed, Zantac
How can I accomplish this?
I was playing with the list box, but that only lets me repeat on a new line, I couldn't find any way to get it to repeate side by side (repeat left to right instead of top to bottom). I played with the orientation options, but that really just lets me adjust how multiple columns are displayed as best I can tell.
Could a custom function of some sort be written to take all the values and spit them out one by one into a comma seperated string?

Ok, I want to write a stored procedure / query that says the following:
Code:
If any of the items in list 'A' also appear in list 'B' --return false
If none of the items in list 'A' appear in list 'B' --return true
In pseudo-SQL, I want to write a clause like this
Code:
IF
(SELECT values FROM tableA) IN(SELECT values FROM tableB)
Return False
ELSE
Return True
Unfortunately, it seems I can't do that unless my subquery before the 'IN' statement returns only one value. Needless to say, it returns a number of values.
I may have to achieve this with some kind of logical loop but I don't know how to do that.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
I have a a table that holds a list of words, I am trying to add to the list, however I only want to add new words. But I wish to return from my proc the list of words with ID, whether it is new or old.
Here's a script. the creates the table,indexes, function and the storeproc. call the proc like procStoreAndUpdateTokenList 'word1,word2,word3'
My table is now 500000 rows and growing and I am inserting on average 300 words, some new some old.

Hi,
I have set of 2 DTS packages, one of which calls the other by forming a command-line (dtexec) using a Execute Process task.
From the parent package-> Execute Process Task->
dtsexec /F etc... /<pkg variable> = "servername"
Each of the parent and the called package have a variable: "User::DWServerSQLInstance" which is mapped to the SQL server connection manager server name property using an expression. The outer package has the above variable and so does the inner called package (which gets assigned through the command line from the outerpackage call to inner)
I "sometimes" get the following error:
OnError,I4,TESTDOMAdministrator,ACDWAggregation,{A1F8E43F-15F1-4685-8C18-6866AB31E62B},{77B2F3C7-6756-46EB-8C01-D880598FB4B3},5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,5/22/2006 5:10:28 PM,-1073659822,0x,The variable "User::DWServerSQLInstance" is already on the read list. A variable may only be added once to either the read lock list or the write lock list.
Help would be appreciated!
I have seen other posts on this but, not able to relate the solution to my scenario.

Hi All,
I have seen a few other people have this error.
Package works fine when run from BIDS, DTExec, dtexecui. When I schedule it, It get these random errors. (See below)
The main culprit is a variable called "RecordsetFileDIR" which is set using an expression. (@[User::_ROOT] + "RecordSets\")
A number of other variables use this as part of their expression and as they all fail, pretty much everything dies.
I have installed SP1 (Not Beta) on server. Package uses config files to set the value of _ROOT.
The error does not always seem to be with this particular variable though. Always a variable that uses an expression but errors are random. Also, It will run 3 out of 10 times without a problem. I am the only person on the server at the time.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Crispin

I want to allow visitors to filter a list of events to show only those belonging to categories selected from a checklist.
Here is an approach I am trying:
TABLE Events(EventID int, Categories varchar(200))
EventID Catetories
--------------------------
1 ‘6,8,9’
2 ‘2,3’
PROCEDURE ListFilteredEvents
@FilterList varchar(200) -- contains ‘3,5’
AS
SELECT EventID FROM Events
WHERE (any value in Categories) IN @FilterList
Result:
EventID
----------
2
How can I select all records where any value in the Categories column
matches a value in @FilterList. In this example, record 2 would be
selected since it belongs to category 3, which is also in @FilterList.
I’ve looked at the table of numbers approach, which works when
selecting records where a column value is in the parameter list, but I
can’t see how to make this work when the column itself also contains a
comma delimited list.
Can someone suggest an approach?
Any examples would be greatly appreciated!

Hello everybody,
I am new to the whole reporting World and I was wondering if their is a solution for my problem. I searched for one and a half hour and I am getting desperate.
I need to repeat a report. So I thought: I can use a list for that. But when I placed all my objects in that list and linked it to a data source it gives an error at every object. I had this problem before and I made a work around so I did not solve it. I need a list in a list or a matrix in a list. I get the following errors:
Error 1 [rsDataRegionInDetailList] The list €˜list3€™ is in a list that has no group expressions defined for it. To use a data region in a list, the list must have group expressions. c:projectencitrix estcitrixusagedb
eportCitrixUsage.rdl 0 0
Error 2 [rsFieldReference] The Value expression for the textbox €˜textbox16€™ refers to the field €˜USERNAME€™. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope. c:projectencitrix estcitrixusagedb

I hope you can help me, thanks in advance!

I have done queries before where you have something like this:
Select name
From people
Where uid in (Select UID from employees where salary > 500000)
as an example.
I have to use stored procedures, I can't connect directly...
I have a datatable of records that I select from a database. In the database table there is a flag 'checkedOut' (bit field) wich I want to set to true (1) for each of these records.
Since I have to use stored procedures I think I am limited to passing in parameters. I wrote a function using a stringbuilder to concatonate the key fields into a comma delimited list "1, 55, 98" etc. and thought to use it as the clause in the 'in' sample ie:Update ServiceRequests set
CheckedOut = 1
Where UID in (@UIDList)
I have tried a few different things, none works.
Any ideas how you might accomplish this with stored procedures?
The records are passed to a thread to be dealt with and it's possible the next time it runs it will pick up the same records for processing if the first thread isn't through. I needed the 'CheckedOut' to ensure I don't accidentally do that.
Thanks.

Converting Sybase to SQL Server !
On the Sql Server's database I did :
-- test list function with cursor
alter proc proc_list(@key varchar(255), @retlistvalues varchar(8000) output)
as
declare @incrcurs2 cursor
declare @value varchar(255)
declare @listvalues varchar(8000)
set @incrcurs2 = cursor scroll dynamic
for
select t.title_Id from publishers p, titles t where p.pub_id = t.pub_idand p.pub_id = @key
order by t.pub_id
open @incrcurs2
fetch next from @incrcurs2 into @value
select @listvalues = convert(varchar(255),@value)
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
select @listvalues = @listvalues + ',' + convert(varchar(255),@value)
fetch next from @incrcurs2 into @value
end
CLOSE @incrcurs2
DEALLOCATE @incrcurs2
select @retlistvalues = @listvalues
go
declare @listvalues varchar(8000)
execute proc_list '1389',@listvalues output
print @listvalues
With Sybase, easily :
Select t.pub_id, list(t.title_Id) from publishers p, titles t where p.pub_id = t.pub_id
And I 've got all the titles in a comma-separated string by publisher !!!!
So, with SQL Server, I suppose that if I want the result by publisher, I must imbricate two cursors !!!
Perhaps I dream
Or can somebody see a better solution ????
Thanks

I've recently read in Joe Celko's "SQL For Smarties" book that there is a LIST() function in Sybase's SQL Anywhere that will aggregate string data into a single comma separated column.
Unfortunately, this command is not supported in T-SQL. Does anyone know how to achieve a similar result with conventional SQL, where I want to aggregate string data into a single column.
Here's my task. Say I have two tables, tParents and tChildren, a parent has many children. I want a sql statement that returns one row for each parent and the multiple children associated to each in a single comma separated column, i.e
Joe Blow 'Child1, Child2, ...'
Parent2 'Child4, Child5, ...'
The SQL with this LIST() function would look like:
Select Parent, List(tChildren.Child) as Children
From tParents, tChildren
Where tParents.PID = tChildren.CID
Group By Parent
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,

I'm having a db programming drama. We have a series of questionnaires;
each questionnaire is comprised of a series of forms that a user must
fill out. A document is produced at the end of the questionnaire. Some
of the fields are required and some are not, depending on how the
fields are filled out can make the document look very different.
My aim is to produce something that lists all the possibilities that
the question can be filled out in. The list of the form fields are in
a SQL Server 200 database table "tblDocPageFields", the structure of
the table is similar to this:
tblDocPageFields
- ID
- Page ID
- Field Name
- Field Order
Another table specifies whether the field is required or not which
contains the fieldID and a validation Message to be displayed if the
field is not filled in.
tblDocPageFieldsReq
- ID
- FieldID
- ValidationText
For example if I have a document with 2 fields and the first one of
them are required the possibilities are:
Field1 Field2
Filled Nothing
Filled Filled
NothingFilled
I need to be able to list this somehow, as some of the surveys have a
huge amount of questions that need to be checked for all
possibilities. Does any one have any idea How I can accomplish this
through a stored procedure or ASP logic or something… Please help!!!
