Writing To Text File From Stored Procedure
Sep 26, 2013
Want to write from a table variable to a text file from a stored procedure.Read about xp_cmdshell bcp etc. but worried because it's supposed to be a security problem and needs to be from a permanent database.Also am getting error "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'xp_cmdshell'..."
1. Is xp_cmdshell a bad idea to use even if I get permissions ?
2. Can a "permanent" table be used in a stored procedure starting out fresh each time with 0 rows rather than use a table variable ?

I have a Foreach loop which scans a table, and gets names of a bunch of procedures, and then back in the foreach loop, they get executed. Im trying to figure out how I can create a sort of log file to say the name of the procedure that is getting executed currently and the current date time stamp onto a flat file. I havent been able to figure this out yet..anyone know how to do this? I grab the names of the storedprocedures from the table and store it in a variable and use the name from the variable to actually execute the stored procedure.
I guess in essence, the question is how do i directly write lines of 'text' (from say a variable) into a flat file.

I have a C# SQL 2005 .net stored procedure which scrubs a text file looking for characters not in a range of characters and replacing them with another character. This works fine except when the process is killed. When this happens the file handle of the file being scrubbed is not released. I use a try catch finally block when opening the file and the output file. The finally section fiushes the output file and closes all files and streams but still when I go to access the file again or use the file in explorer it says the file is still in use. Should I be handling this some other way? How do I know the files will always be closed correctly.

I am trying to create a text file from multiple SQL Tables using @BCP_Command. I tried using DTS and SQL but the number of columns in the tables have to be the same size when doing a union. I also not to place a delimeter between each column. I've learned how to use BCP_commands on one file not sure if you can make it work with two or more.

I am trying to export data from a query in SQL Server 2005 SSIS to a flat file destination. Everything works fine except the rows returned from my query are written to the flat file in one long string (i.e., without line breaks). I have tried appending a new line character to the rows returned from the query but that only throws an error when the package is executed. My rows returned from the query are 133 characters wide (essentially only one column per row) so I have set the properties accordingly for a fixed width file format with 133 character wide rows.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to correct this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Michael

Hi Guys,
I need some help and suggestion to rewrite one of my screens (using ASP.NET) which is using stored procedure. The processing on this screen is taking more than 3 minutes (which i know is totaly
unacceptable). I am making use of cursors within the stored procedure (SQL Server 2005). I really intend to get rid of cursors as they have their performance hit. I have been told to rewrite this screen
(or the stored procedure) so i need some help for SQL Gurus. Following are the details:
1. This is a Monthly Employee Attendance Report on a day by day basis for any given month (maximum 31 days in a month)
2. The values (for each day) have to be computed at runtime and not stored. e.g. Since an employee may have signed in/out several times in a day
3. There are around 500 employees data im dealing with
4. The user will select any given department and employee's data for the respective department has to be displayed for any given month
5. If the user selects [All Department], the entire 500 employees have to be displayed on the screen
6. This report will look like an excel report on the screen i.e. Employee's basic info and record of 31 days (maximum days in a month) are displayed in one row for each employee
7. This report involves are 7-8 tables. 7 tables are for employees basic info whereas one table has the attendance record
Kindly give me your suggestion on writing the SQL stored procedure. I cannot use any other option such as a real Excel Sheet or anything. I need suggestion on how to write this monthly report. By the
way, we dont intend to Cache the data since the report can be viewed at anytime of the day, so fresh data is required everytime. Also the data for 500 employees may be too much to be cached. Also in
the attendance table, we are dealing with approximately half a million attendance records.
Thanks and waiting for your suggestions...

I am trying to write a stored procedure which would execute following logic:
- The stored procedure takes 2 optional parameters @StartDate and @EndDate
@StartDate Datetime = null
@EndDate Datetime = null
- Since the parameters are optional user can enter either one or can leave both blank.
- If user doesnot enter any values for SD (start date) and ED (end date), stored procedure should run select query replacing those values with wildcard character '%' or NULL
- If user enters SD, query should use @StartDate as the SD and GetDate() as the ED
- If user enters ED, query should use @EndDate as the ED and MIN() of the Date field as SD
I was able to write query which did almost everything as is stated above expect for incorporating NULLs
The query is as below
CREATE PROCEDURE SearchDocumentTable
@FName varchar(100) = null,
@LName varchar(25) = null,
@ID varchar(9) = null,
@StartDate Datetime = null,
@EndDate Datetime = null
AS
IF ( @StartDate IS NULL)
Select @StartDate = MIN(DateInputted) from Document
Select
FName as 'First Name',
LName as 'Last Name',
ID as 'Student ID',
Orphan as 'Orphan',
DocumentType as 'Document Type',
DocDesc as 'Description of the Document',
DateInputted as 'Date Entered',
InputtedBy as 'Entered by'
From Document,DocumentTypeCodes
Where FName LIKE ISNULL(@FName,'%')
AND LName LIKE ISNULL(@LName,'%' + NULL)
AND ID LIKE ISNULL(@ID,'%' + NULL)
AND (DateInputted BETWEEN @StartDate AND ISNULL(@EndDate,GETDATE()) OR DateInputted IS NULL)
AND Document.DocTypeCode = DocumentTypeCodes.DocTypeCode
GO
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance :)

where CriticalDoctors.Doctor = (select DoctorId from tblPercent)
Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <=
, >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
The statement has been terminated.
Pls give me reply on how to write a stored procedure so that I can equate the percentage column
with one value and also check the condition with one value.
Thanking you guys in advance.

Any way to have a process run that will not write its changes to the transaction log? I have a process that runs every three hours and has a huge impact on the transaction log (it becomes larger than the database itself). We do hourly backups of the transaction log and normally it is reasonably sized but when this process runs, it gets HUGE.
The process takes source data, massages it and writes it to summary tables. It is not something we need to track as we can recreate the summary tables if needed and it has no impact on the source tables.
Everything is driven through a stored procedure. Is there a way to run a stored procedure and tell it that nothing it does should be written to the transaction log?

hi,
i am a nubie, and struggling with the where clause in my stored procedure. here is what i need to do:
i have a gridview that displays records of monthly view of data. i want the user to be able to page through any selected month to view its corresponding data. the way i wanted to do this was to set up three link buttons above my gridview:
[<<Prev] [Selected Month] [Next>>]
the text for 'selected month' would change to correspond to which month of data was currently being displayed in the gridview (and default to the current month when the application first loads).
i am having trouble writing the 'where' clause in my stored procedure to retrieve the selected month and year.
i am using sql server 2000. i read this article (http://forums.asp.net/thread/1538777.aspx), but was not able to adapt it to what i am doing.
i am open to other suggestions of how to do this if you know of a cleaner or more efficient way. thanks!

Hi,
I want to create a text file and write to text it by calling its assembly from Stored Procedure. Full Detail is given below
I write a code in class to create a text file and write text in it.
1) I creat a class in Visual Basic.Net 2005, whose code is given below:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class WLog
Public Shared Sub LogToTextFile(ByVal LogName As String, ByVal newMessage As String)
Dim w As StreamWriter = File.AppendText(LogName)
LogIt(newMessage, w)
w.Close()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LogIt(ByVal logMessage As String, ByVal wr As StreamWriter)
wr.Write(ControlChars.CrLf & "Log Entry:")
wr.WriteLine("(0) {1}", DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString(), DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString())
wr.WriteLine(" :")
wr.WriteLine(" :{0}", logMessage)
wr.WriteLine("---------------------------")
wr.Flush()
End Sub
Public Shared Sub LotToEventLog(ByVal errorMessage As String)
Dim log As System.Diagnostics.EventLog = New System.Diagnostics.EventLog
log.Source = "My Application"
log.WriteEntry(errorMessage)
End Sub
End Class
2) Make & register its assembly, in SQL Server 2005.
3)Create Stored Procedure as given below:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.SP_LogTextFile
(
@LogName nvarchar(255), @NewMessage nvarchar(255)
)
AS EXTERNAL NAME
[asmLog].[WriteLog.WLog].[LogToTextFile]
4) When i execute this stored procedure as
Execute SP_LogTextFile 'C:Test.txt','Message1'
5) Then i got the following error
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Procedure SP_LogTextFile, Line 0
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'SP_LogTextFile':
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:Test.txt' is denied.
