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 ')'.
Hi, 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, €œSQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. €œ 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. Thanks, Lori
Hi i got errro mess "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function" from this below. Anyone how can give me a hint what cause this, and how i can solve it? if i remove whats whitin thoose [] it works, i dont use [] in the code :) colums: VLF_InfectionDestination is nvarchar 254
SELECT TOP 10 tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName, COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) AS number FROM tb_AVVirusLog INNER JOIN __CustomerMachines002 ON tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_ComputerName = __CustomerMachines002.FalseName WHERE (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (__CustomerMachines002.folder_id = @folderId) [OR (CONVERT(varchar, tb_AVVirusLog.CLF_LogGenerationTime, 120) BETWEEN @fyear + @fmonth + @fday AND @tyear + @tmonth + @tday) AND (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_InfectionDestination LIKE N'%@%')] GROUP BY tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName HAVING (NOT (tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName LIKE N'cookie')) ORDER BY COUNT(tb_AVVirusLog.VLF_VirusName) DESC
An 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."
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?
I'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......
update vendor_invoice set de_ftpdownload= (select SUBSTRING(de_ftpdownload,1,CHARINDEX('.',de_ftpdow nload,0)-1)as de_ftpdownload from vendor_invoice) where vendor_invoice_id =931
This get me this error.... so what is the max allowable length of substring function.
Server: Msg 536, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function. The statement has been terminated. Thanks Al
I have been trying to add in date functions for parameters in a report subscription and they are not accepted. I have a report with 2 parameters, @start and @end. I have default parameters set wtihin the report of Now - month for @start and Now for @end. Can my users create a subscriotion using something like "=DateAdd("D", -1, Now)" for the parameters rather than the default?
I am trying to write a query for the default values for month, and I am stuck in bringing out only the parameter values, the query I have , brings back the month on row and value on column, and I am trying to get the value out. and will ssrs accept it as a valid expression for a default value
WITHÂ MEMBER [MEASURES].[PARAMETERVALUE] AS [Account].[Month Short Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
[Code] .....
I tried using the exp
=Parameters!MONTH.Value(0)
so as to return the first parameter in the parameter dataset , but i have the error the expression that ref the parameter MONTH does not exists in the parameter collection.
is there any way or a tool to identify if in procedure the Parameter length was declarated less than table Column length ..
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST001 (KeyName Varchar(100) ) a procedure CREATE PROCEDURE SpFindNames ( @KeyName VARCHAR(40) ) AS BEGIN SELECT KeyName FROM TEST001 WHERE KeyName = @KeyName END KeyName = @KeyName
Here table Column with 100 char length "KeyName" was compared with SP parameter "@KeyName" with length 40 char ..
IS there any way to find out all such usage on the ALL Procedures in the Database ?
I have a ##temp table which collects command (varchar(120)) info from sysjobsteps table as follows: command ------------------------------ BACKUP DATABASE FDMS_11111_2 To Backup_11111_2_4Thu with init, name = 'Backup of Job_11111_2_4Thu'
Now, I need to extract the database name from the command string: It did return the correct database name but ended with error message.
select substring(command, 17, charindex(' To Backup_',Command)-17) from ##tempServerNameDatabaseNameJobHistory

Hi,I run a stored procedure with a parameter given from a text box in an accessadp. If the text box is empty then what is passed to the parameter? I can'tseem to get it to flag up as either null, or 0 length.Any tips?Cheers,Chris
I have one column called ORGNAME NVarchar(34). There are two records which has the same value stored in that column"Mobile Payment Finland", in both records there are no spaces at start or end position, which mean both records are exactly same. But when i run
SELECT LEN(ORGNAMEÂ ) from table
it gives, 34 for first record and 22 for the second record. I couldnt understand what could be the exact problem.
If i use SELECT DATALENGTH(ORGNAME ) from table then i get 68 and 44
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters). Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension . Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007". But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All". Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
Is it possible to fill a parameter list with values based on another parameter value? Here's what I have so far (which hasn't worked)... I'd like to generate a report listing information for a student. The report viewer would first select a school from the first drop-down menu, and then the second drop-down menu would populate with the list of students at that school. I have a dataset that calls a sp which returns a list of schools (SchoolID and SchoolName fields from the database table). I have another dataset that calls a sp (with SchoolID as the parameter) which returns a list of students for that school. Both datasets return the appropriate data when tested individually, but when I set up the Report Parameters and build the report, these errors come up... The value expression for the query parameter '@SchoolID' refers to a non-existing report parameter 'SchoolID'. The report parameter 'Student' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "SchoolID". Forward dependencies are not valid. ...Is it possible for the reoprt to generate a list of available parameter values based on the value selected for another parameter? Any help you can give me would be great!! Thank you
I have my stored procedure set to Territory_code IN (@Territory)
, now , how do i enter in more then one value. When i select the multi value check box, it gives me more spaces. But then doesnt recognize the values when i put in more then one. am i doing something wrong?
I have a parameter (hidden) that gets its value using an expression base on another parameter. When in the designer, the first time when the designer loads I can select the Parameter that controls the child parameter (expression lies in the default value section). The value changes.
When I change the parent parameter again, the value of the child parameter does not seem to change.
How can I make this parameter change automatically when the parent is changed ?
If I have a Select statement like this in my C# code: Select * From foods Where foodgroup In (@foodgroup) And I want @foodgroup to have these values ... "meat", "dairy", fruit", what is the correct way to add the parameter? I tried meat, dairy, fruit 'meat', 'dairy', 'fruit' but neither worked. Is this possible?
For those of you who would like to reference my exact issue, I'm dealing with the RSExecution SSIS package at the "Update Parameters" data flow task, at the Script Component.
The script tries to split parameter data into name and value. Unfortunately, I have several reports that are passing parameters that are very large. One example has over 65,000 characters all in the normal "¶mname=value&parm2=value..." format.
The code in the script works fine until it gets to one of these very large parameter sets. I have figured out what is causing the issue. Here's some code:
Dim paramBlob as Byte() paramBlob = Row.BlobColumn.GetBlobData(0, Row.BlobColumn.Length)
The second parameter of the .GetBlobData function takes an INTEGER as its count! Therefore, no matter what kind of datatype I pass to the string that the script will later split, it will be limited to 32767 characters.
THIS IS A PROBLEM!!!
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue? I need all of the parameter data to be reported, and I would hate to have to skip over rows like this. Also, if I'm missing something, please fill me in!
i want to modify my DTS to don't have any maintenance to do on it if a Username or password change.
Each DTS will have an ActiveX script to read connections properties in a table that i created and will automatically set each connection in the DTS each time that the DTS Run. So, we will have only to update the table and the DTS will continue working fine.
To update the Connections properties i have no problem, the problem is how can i retrieve the data from my table to get the connection properties, without hardcoding a connection inside my ActiveX script? Because i don't want to have to change each ActiveX script in each DTS if the SQL Server paswword change.
