DECLARE @x varchar
SET @x = 'ITEMNMBR'
SELECT *

Passing A Column/field Name As A Variable?
Aug 24, 2005Is it possible to use a table's fieldname as an SQL variable?
i.e. can the below be made to somehow work:
Code:
SELECT Firstname, Surname, myVariable
FROM ContactDetails
WHERE myVariable = [user input];
- or simply -
Code:
SELECT Firstname, Surname, [user input]
FROM ContactDetails;
---
The "user input" being any other chosen column/fieldname from the ContactDetails table (e.g. Street, City, Postcode, etc.).
i'm using Access and ASP - in case that makes a difference.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Append Counter Variable To Field Name
Jun 14, 2004Hi all,
I have a table with fields name Days1, Days2, Days3 - I am trying to use a loop in conjunction with a counter to identify each of these fields - I can't quite get the correct syntax and it is driving me crazy!!!
Here's the proc:
WHILE @Counter < 4
BEGIN
SELECT @AppointmentsCount = COUNT(tbl_SurgerySlot.SurgerySlotKey)
FROM tbl_SurgerySlot INNER JOIN
tbl_SurgerySlotDescription ON tbl_SurgerySlot.PracticeCode = tbl_SurgerySlotDescription.PracticeCode AND
tbl_SurgerySlot.Label = tbl_SurgerySlotDescription.Label LEFT OUTER JOIN
tbl_Appointment ON tbl_SurgerySlot.SurgerySlotKey = tbl_Appointment.SurgerySlotKey AND
tbl_SurgerySlot.ExtractDate = tbl_Appointment.ExtractDate
WHERE (tbl_SurgerySlot.ExtractDate = @ExtractDate) AND (tbl_Appointment.AppointmentKey IS NULL) AND
(tbl_SurgerySlot.StartTime > @DateFrom) AND (tbl_SurgerySlot.StartTime < @DateTo) AND (tbl_SurgerySlotDescription.IsBookable = 1)
SET @FieldName = 'Days' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(20),@Counter)
INSERT INTO tmp_Availability (@FieldName)
VALUES (@AppointmentsCount)
SET @DateTo = DATEADD(Day,1,@DateTo)
--Increment the loop counter
SET @Counter = @Counter + 1
When I run the above the follwoing message is displayed:
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 3, Line 36
Invalid object name 'tmp_Availability'.
The object IS valid so I'm lost....
Variable As Field Name In CURSOR FOR UPDATE
Dec 10, 2005I'm trying something like:
UPDATE tbl SET @varFieldName = @varValue
The procedure runs, and when I PRINT @varFieldName, it looks fine, but the table isn't getting updated, and no errors, wierd.
I have the CURSOR open for update, but I didn't list the field names, that shouldn't be a problem, as all fields should be updateable then.
To get the field name, I :
SET @varFieldName = 'SomeChars' + LTRIM(STR(asmallint)) + 'SomeMoreChars'
Thanks,

Running Date Variable On One Field
Sep 19, 2014I have two tables that I am pulling data from: an item table and a sales table. Almost all of the information comes from the item table (item description, location, amount on hand). The last field wanted is Year-To-Date sales. I can pull the sales field from the sales table, which gives me all sales from the creation of the db. I need to be able to run a date variable of This Year on that sales field only. I have a date field I can reference off of in the sales table.

How To Add Variable To Sql Command Text Field
Sep 7, 2007In the data flow task I have multiple OLE DB source task to retreive data from a cube using MDX. Below is an example of the query from sql command text field: I have a few questions on how to modify this statment to make it more robust.
1) The where clause [Calendar].[Quarter 2 (2007)] should actually be some kind of variable that will change each time
the user runs this project. So I am wondering how to make this a variable and get it into this field.
2) I had thought that I could use the SSIS variable. I have created one, but I can not figure how to get it into the field that
contains the given select statment.
3) I believe that once I get this variable part to work then I want a way to have user set this data value. Either by selecting data from a table in database or through a user interface where user enters data. I did do some resarch on creating a user interface, but I did not understand what I had to do, so if any one knows where to find a tutorial on how to do this let me know, or what they believe the best/easiest way is to get data from user to fill this where clause.
select * from OPENROWSET('MSOLAP', 'DATASOURCE=local; Initial Catalog=Patient Demographics 2005;',
'with member [Measures].[TimeDisplayName] as [Calendar].CurrentMember.Name
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[TimeDisplayName],[Measures].[Adjusted Relative Weight],[Measures].[Adjusted Case Weight]} ON COLUMNS,

SSIS Script Task Alters Package Variable, But Variable Does Not Change.
Oct 25, 2006I'm working on an SSIS package that uses a vb.net script to grab some XML from a webservice (I'd explain why I'm not using a web service task here, but I'd just get angry), and I wish to then assign the XML string to a package variable which then gets sent along to a DataFlow Task that contains an XML Source that points at said variable. when I copy the XML string into the variable value in the script, if do a quickwatch on the variable (as in Dts.Variable("MyXML").value) it looks as though the new value has been copied to the variable, but when I step out of that task and look at the package explorer the variable is its original value.
I think the problem is that the dataflow XML source has a lock on the variable and so the script task isn't affecting it. Does anyone have any experience with this kind of problem, or know a workaround?
Passing A SSIS Global Variable To A Declared Variable In A Query In SQL Task
Mar 6, 2008I have a SQL Task that updates running totals on a record inserted using a Data Flow Task. The package runs without error, but the actual row does not calculate the running totals. I suspect that the inserted record is not committed until the package completes and the SQL Task is seeing the previous record as the current. Here is the code in the SQL Task:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = (SELECT MAX(DateValue) FROM tblTG);
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I've not been successful in passing a SSIS global variable to a declared parameter, but is it possible to do this:
DECLARE @DV INT;
SET @DV = ?;
DECLARE @PV INT;
SET @PV = @DV - 1;
I have almost 50 references to these parameters in the query so a substitution would be helpful.

SSIS: Problem Mapping Global Variables To Stored Procedure. Can't Pass One Variable To Sp And Return Another Variable From Sp.
Feb 27, 2008I'm new to SSIS, but have been programming in SQL and ASP.Net for several years. In Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition I've created an SSIS that imports data from a flat file into the database. The original process worked, but did not check the creation date of the import file. I've been asked to add logic that will check that date and verify that it's more recent than a value stored in the database before the import process executes.
Here are the task steps.
[Execute SQL Task] - Run a stored procedure that checks to see if the import is running. If so, stop execution. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
[Execute SQL Task] - Log an entry to a table indicating that the import has started.
[Script Task] - Get the create date for the current flat file via the reference provided in the file connection manager. Assign that date to a global value (FileCreateDate) and pass it to the next step. This works.
[Execute SQL Task] - Compare this file date with the last file create date in the database. This is where the process breaks. This step depends on 2 variables defined at a global level. The first is FileCreateDate, which gets set in step 3. The second is a global variable named IsNewFile. That variable needs to be set in this step based on what the stored procedure this step calls finds out on the database. Precedence constraints direct behavior to the next proper node according to the TRUE/FALSE setting of IsNewFile.
If IsNewFile is FALSE, direct the process to a step that enters a log entry to a table and conclude execution of the SSIS.
If IsNewFile is TRUE, proceed with the import. There are 5 other subsequent steps that follow this decision, but since those work they are not relevant to this post.
Here is the stored procedure that Step 4 is calling. You can see that I experimented with using and not using the OUTPUT option. I really don't care if it returns the value as an OUTPUT or as a field in a recordset. All I care about is getting that value back from the stored procedure so this node in the decision tree can point the flow in the correct direction.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[p_CheckImportFileCreateDate]
/*
The SSIS package passes the FileCreateDate parameter to this procedure, which then compares that parameter with the date saved in tbl_ImportFileCreateDate.
If the date is newer (or if there is no date), it updates the field in that table and returns a TRUE IsNewFile bit value in a recordset.
Otherwise it returns a FALSE value in the IsNewFile column.
Example:
exec p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', '2/27/2008 9:24 AM', 0
*/
@ProcessName varchar(50)
, @FileCreateDate datetime
, @IsNewFile bit OUTPUT
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
--DECLARE @IsNewFile bit
DECLARE @CreateDateInTable datetime
SELECT @CreateDateInTable = FileCreateDate FROM tbl_ImportFileCreateDate WHERE ProcessName = @ProcessName
IF EXISTS (SELECT ProcessName FROM tbl_ImportFileCreateDate WHERE ProcessName = @ProcessName)
BEGIN
-- The process exists in tbl_ImportFileCreateDate. Compare the create dates.
IF (@FileCreateDate > @CreateDateInTable)
BEGIN
-- This is a newer file date. Update the table and set @IsNewFile to TRUE.
UPDATE tbl_ImportFileCreateDate
SET FileCreateDate = @FileCreateDate
WHERE ProcessName = @ProcessName
SET @IsNewFile = 1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
-- The file date is the same or older.
SET @IsNewFile = 0
END
END
ELSE
BEGIN
-- This is a new process for tbl_ImportFileCreateDate. Add a record to that table and set @IsNewFile to TRUE.
INSERT INTO tbl_ImportFileCreateDate (ProcessName, FileCreateDate)
VALUES (@ProcessName, @FileCreateDate)
SET @IsNewFile = 1
END
SELECT @IsNewFile
The relevant Global Variables in the package are defined as follows:
Name : Scope : Date Type : Value
FileCreateDate : (Package Name) : DateType : 1/1/2000
IsNewFile : (Package Name) : Boolean : False
Setting the properties in the "Execute SQL Task Editor" has been the difficult part of this. Here are the settings.
General
Name = Compare Last File Create Date
Description = Compares the create date of the current file with a value in tbl_ImportFileCreateDate.
TimeOut = 0
CodePage = 1252
ResultSet = None
ConnectionType = OLE DB
Connection = MyServerDataBase
SQLSourceType = Direct input
IsQueryStoredProcedure = False
BypassPrepare = True
I tried several SQL statements, suspecting it's a syntax issue. All of these failed, but with different error messages. These are the 2 most recent attempts based on posts I was able to locate.
SQLStatement = exec ? = dbo.p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', ?, ? output
SQLStatement = exec p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', ?, ? output
Parameter Mapping
Variable Name = User::FileCreateDate, Direction = Input, DataType = DATE, Parameter Name = 0, Parameter Size = -1
Variable Name = User::IsNewFile, Direction = Output, DataType = BYTE, Parameter Name = 1, Parameter Size = -1
Result Set is empty.
Expressions is empty.
When I run this in debug mode with this SQL statement ...
exec ? = dbo.p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', ?, ? output
... the following error message appears.
SSIS package "MyPackage.dtsx" starting.

This occurs when the number of errors reaches the number specified in MaximumErrorCount. Change the MaximumErrorCount or fix the errors.

When the above is run tbl_ImportFileCreateDate does not get updated, so it's failing at some point when calling the procedure.
When I run this in debug mode with this SQL statement ...
exec p_CheckImportFileCreateDate 'GL Account Import', ?, ? output
... the tbl_ImportFileCreateDate table gets updated. So I know that data piece is working, but then it fails with the following message.

SSIS package "MyPackage.dtsx" finished: Failure.
The IsNewFile global variable is scoped at the package level and has a Boolean data type, and the Output parameter in the stored procedure is defined as a Bit. So what gives?
The "Possible Failure Reasons" message is so generic that it's been useless to me. And I've been unable to find any examples online that explain how to do what I'm attempting. This would seem to be a very common task. My suspicion is that one or more of the settings in that Execute SQL Task node is bad. Or that there is some cryptic, undocumented reason that this is failing.
Thanks for your help.
Compare The Value Of A Variable With Previous Variable From A Function ,reset The Counter When Val Changes
Oct 15, 2007I am in the middle of taking course 2073B €“ Programming a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database. I noticed that in Module9: Implementing User-Defined Functions exercise 2, page 25; step 2 is not returning the correct answer.
Select employeeid,name,title,mgremployeeid from dbo.fn_findreports(2)
It returns manager id for both 2 and 5 and I think it should just return the results only for manager id 2. The query results for step 1 is correct but not for step 2.
Somewhere in the code I think it should compare the inemployeeid with the previous inemployeeid, and then add a counter. If the two inemployeeid are not the same then reset the counter. Then maybe add an if statement or a case statement. Can you help with the logic? Thanks!

Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.
Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.
What options do I have that will work?

Foreach From Variable Using 2 Dim Array Variable
May 15, 2007
Is there any way to use a 2 dimensional array of strings as the Variable Enumerator for the "Foreach From Variable Enumerator". I am trying to copy a collection of files from folder A to folder B. In a script, I would populate, let us say, an array of (2,10), for 10 files, with one column representing the source file and other column representing the target column task. Then I would like to set this string array variable as the "Variable Enumerator" for the "Foreach From Variable Enumerator" and use file system tasks in the foreach loop to perform the tasks. The problem is that the "Foreach From Variable Enumerator" does not let me choose an index, but passes only one index 0, so, I will only be able to pass just one column. How do I let the foreach enumerator let me choose an index. The other foreach enumerators, foreach item and ADO give me the option to select index. I would like the same functionality in the foreach variable.
Note: I cannot use the "For Each File" enumerator, since the files are to be selected by a script only.
Thanks for the help.

Variable Inside A Variable From Sql TAsk
Sep 28, 2006I've got two Sql Tasks on my dtsx. The first one loads a value into "Proyecto" user variable and the second one executes a variable named "SegundoProceso" which contains from the beginning:
"select Fecha from LogsCargaExcel where Proyecto = " + @[User::Proyecto] +""
As SqlSourceType propety I have "Variable" and inside ResultSet or Parameter Mapping nodes there is nothing.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query ""select Fecha from LogsCargaExcel where Proyecto = " + @[User::Proyecto] +""" failed with the following error: "Cannot use empty object or column names. Use a single space if necessary.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
Where am I wrong?
TIA
