MS SQL Server :: Stored Procs: How To Prevent Return Of Uneccesary Data?

Does Db_denydatawriter Prevent Procs From Updating Data?

If a user is a member of a role which would allow him to execute a proc which updates a table, and he is then granted db_denydatawriter , can he still update the table through the proc? SS2000 SP4.

Thanks,

michael

Since posting this I tested the scenario and YES! The user was still able to execute an update proc even though the user excuting the proc was granted db_denydatawriter.

Stored Procs, Error Handling And Return Values
Can anyone let me know the prefered method for handling stored procedure errors. I usually trap the error in the stored proc and then return a value using an output parameter
e.g stored proc
if @@error <> 0 beginset @returnValue = -1returnend
c#com.Parameters.Add("@returnValue", SqlDbType.Int).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;con.Open();com.ExecuteNonQuery();
int result = (int)com.Parameters[0].Value;
if (result == -1){//throw exception}else{//do whatever}

How To Prevent DBA From Getting Confidential Data Stored In SQL Server?
Suppose I have a database storing some confidential information, such
as legal information, medical or financial records, etc., and a
Web site with a membership system so that only authorized users can
view the information.

I understand I can encrypt the information, and the user's passwords,
so that if the database is compromised it still shouldn't be possible
for an outsider to view the confidential information.

However, what about people who have legitimate access to the database,
such as the DBA, Web developer, etc., but who should not be able to
view the confidential information? For example, even though the
user's password was encrypted, what would stop the DBA from replacing
the user's password with his own (encrypted) password, then logging in
and viewing the user's info, then copying back the original encrypted
password? Or, adding a new user for himself with whatever
permissions he chooses?

Stored Procs: Is There A Way To Divide Up (or Namespace) Groups Of Stored Procs
Is there a way to namespace groups of stored procs to reduce confusion when using them?

For C# you can have ProjectName.ProjectSection.Classname when naming a class. I am just wondering if there is a way to do the same with SQL stored procs. I know Oracle has packages and the name of the package provides a namespace for all of the stored procs inside it.

Using Views/Stored Procs In One Db, Data In Another
I am moving an app from Access 2003 to C#/SQL Server 2005. The Access app has one front end exe and two back end databases. One back end db is for UK users, one for US users. The tables and structures are identical, but the data is different. UK users link to the UK back end, US users to the US backend. (The queries are in the front end)

In SQL Server, the view and stored procs will be in one database (KCom), the US data tables in another database (KUS), and the UK data tables in another (KUK). All databases are on the same server.

My question is how to let the views and stored procs in KCom know whether to pull the data from KUK or KUS.

In the front end app, I use ADO.Net to deal with the SQL Server databases.

I have not been able to find a model for this, but it must be somewhat common.

I willl have a lost of nested views and stored procs, but as a simple example, say I have a view in KCom which is just "Select * From Invoice Where InvDate > '01/01/2007'. The ADO request would come from the front end app which would know whether it wanted the data from KUK or KUS. How would I get the view to get the data from one as opposed to the other (KUK vs KUS) ?

Is there some other strategy for this situation, say use of connection strings? If anyone has an idea, or knows of an explanation somewhere on the net I'd greatly appreciate it.

Many thanks

Creating Stored Procs That Need To Continusiouly Append To A New Table (this Is To Scrub Data That Is Imported Into DB).
I have 1 table with a huge amount of data that I recive from someone else in a flat file format. I want to be able to filter through that data and scrub it and find out the good data and bad data from it.

I'm scrubbing the data using different stored procs that i've created and through a web interface that the user can pick which records they wish to create.

If I were to create a new table for clean records, what is the syntax to keep Appending to that table through the data that i'm obtainig via the stored procs that i've created.

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appriciated in advance

Problem With Using Stored Procs As I/p To Another Stored Procs
HI,

CREATE PROCEDURE PROC1
AS
BEGIN
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC
FROM CUSTOMER A
INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B
ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID
INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C
ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID
WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (6,7,2,3,12,10)
ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID

END

IF I AM USING THIS PROC AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC THEN IT GIVES NO PROBLEM AS I CAN USE ?

CREATE PROCEDURE PROC2
AS
BEGIN

CREATE TABLE #SAATHI(INTCUSTOMERID INT,CHREMAIL NVARCHAR(60),INTPREFERENCEID INT,CHRPREFERENCEDESC NVARCHAR(50))

INSERT INTO #SAATHI
EXEC PROC1

ST......1,
ST......2,

END.

BUT IF , I USE ANOTHER PROC SIMILAR TO THE FIRST ONE WHICH GIVES SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT RESULTS AND GIVES TWO SETS OF RESULTS,THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM,HO TO SOLVE THIS :-

CREATE PROCEDURE MY_PROC
AS
BEGIN
SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,A.CHREMAIL,B.INTPREFERENCEID,C.CHR PREFERENCEDESC
FROM CUSTOMER A
INNER JOIN CUSTOMERPREFERENCE B
ON A.INTCUSTOMERID = B.INTCUSTOMERID
INNER JOIN TMPREFERENCE C
ON B.INTPREFERENCEID = C.INTPREFERENCEID
WHERE B.INTPREFERENCEID IN (23,12,10)
ORDER BY B.INTCUSTOMERID

END

SELECT A.INTCUSTOMERID,MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 23 then '1'
else '0' end) +
MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 12 then '1'
else '0' end) +
MAX(case when A.intpreferenceid = 10 then '1'
else '0' end) AS PREFER
FROM CUSTOMER
GROUP BY A.INTCUSTOMERID
ORDER BY A.INTCUSTOMERID
END

WHICH NOW GIVES ME TWO SETS OF DATA , BOTH REQUIRED THEN HOW TO USE ONE SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO ANOTHER PROC AND OTHER SET OF RESULTS AS I/P TO YET ANOTHER PROC .

CREATE PROCEDURE PROC2
AS
BEGIN

CREATE TABLE #SAATHI(INTCUSTOMERID INT,CHREMAIL NVARCHAR(60),INTPREFERENCEID INT,CHRPREFERENCEDESC NVARCHAR(50))

INSERT INTO #SAATHI
EXEC MY_PROC

ST......1,
ST......2,

END.

BUT, HERE I WANT TO USE FIRST DATASET ONLY , HOW TO USE IT ?

Grouping Data Based On Return From Stored Procedure
I'm having some difficulty getting the appropriate results for my scenerio. I have two different datasets that I'm using. One is consisting of two joined tables and the other consisting of one sp. The sp's parameters rely on two things- one is the companyNum (inputed when the user runs the report) and two is the ContactNumType. The ContactTypeNum comes from the dataset of tables. I need to have a table consisting of this format:

   ContactNumType1 (From the Tables)
                                                               File_Name1 (From the sp)
                                                               File_Name4 (From the sp)
                                                               File_Name3 (From the sp)

ContactNumType2 (From the Tables)
                                                               File_Name2 (From the sp)
                                                               File_Name7(From the sp)

ContactNumType3 (From the Tables)
                                                               File_Name5 (From the sp)

ContactNumType4 (From the Tables)
                                                               File_Name6 (From the sp)

                                                             File_Name10 (From the sp)
                                                               File_Name8(From the sp)
                                                               File_Name9 (From the sp)

So essentially what is going on is that every returned File_Name is grouped based upon the type of ContactNumType. My table returns the appropriate ContactNumTypes and the appropriate number of File_Names but returns only the first File_Name for each row. The File_Names should only grouped by the ContactTypeNums and each be unique. Is there any way to do that?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edited: I still am trying to work this out. I've tried a few run-arounds but none have worked. Adding custom code apparently is too risky at this point because of the security precautions that I've been instructed to take. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this project has been going on for days now....

IMPORT New Data Since Last IMPORT - DTS/Stored Procs?
Hello:

I am not sure how to implement the following, but I believe it entails using DTS, and hopefully it is fine that I post it here b/c ultimately I will need this backend data for my frontend .aspx pages:

On a weekly basis, I need to IMPORT some data located on a remote Oracle DB into SQL Server 2k. Since there is so much data to transfer, I would only like to transfer the data that is new to the table since the last IMPORT, i.e. a week ago and leave behin the OLD data.

Is DTS the correct way to go or do I have more control via DTS with STORED PROCEDURES? Does anyone have any good references for me?

On a similar note, once this Oracle data is IMPORTED into a certain table, I would like to EXPORT some of these NEWLY acquired rows matching certain criteria into another table for auditing purposes. For this scenario, should I implement a TRIGGER UPDATE event here on the first table?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

SqlDataSource Set To Stored Procedure, Tests OK In Wizard, Does Not Return Data When Executed
With a Gridview Control, I set the SqlDataSource to be a stored procedure in a Sql Sever database.
Using the wizzard to configure the datasource, the test returns lots of rows. After completing the wizzard, the gridview control does not show the column names in the VS2005 designer. For the gridview column headers the values are Databound Col0, Databound Col1, Databound Col2, ....) This tells me I have a problem.
I tried the same thing with a simpler stored procedure. This test stored procedure does not call anything else, takes several input parameters, returns rows. The column names show in the gridview control as expected.
So I am trying to figure out why the first case of gridview with sqldatasource is not working and the second case works . The stored procedure that is not working with my gridview calls multiple inner stored procedures and has #TEMP tables. My complex stored procedure ends with Select * from #Temp.
Could the calling of other inner stored procedures and use of #temp tables contribute to the problem? If yes then what is the strategy for using a gridview and loading it with the data that the complex stored procedure returns?

Return Error Code (return Value) From A Stored Procedure Using A Sql Task

I have a package that I have been attempting to return a error code after the stored procedure executes, otherwise the package works great.

I call the stored procedure from a Execute SQL Task (execute Marketing_extract_history_load_test ?, ? OUTPUT)
The sql task rowset is set to NONE. It is a OLEB connection.

I have two parameters mapped:

tablename input varchar 0 (this variable is set earlier in a foreach loop) ADO.
returnvalue output long 1

I set the breakpoint and see the values change, but I have a OnFailure conditon set if it returns a failure. The failure is ignored and the package completes. No quite what I wanted.

The first part of the sp is below and I set the value @i and return.

CREATE procedure [dbo].[Marketing_extract_history_load_TEST]

@table_name varchar(200),

@i int output

as

Why is it not capturing and setting the error and execute my OnFailure code? I have tried setting one of my parameter mappings to returnvalue with no success.

Archive Data Instead Of Deleting It To Prevent 4GB Data Limit
We are running SQL Server 2005 express on Windows 2003. The database server gets significant amounts of data.

Because of the 4GB data limit we have a daily cron task which goes through and deletes data older then 90 days.

We would like a way to archive this data instead of deleting it. Is there any way to take data and compress it and store it in a different way, so that if needed, customers can query directly out from the compressed data? Cleary querying from compressed would be slower but that is ok.

Any other solutions that would allow us to archive data instead of deleting it? Thanks.

SSIS Hard Time Getting Back XML Return Data From Stored Procedure Call Executed By Execute SQL Task
I'm having a hard time to getting back an xml data back from a stored procedure executed by an Execute SQL task.

I'm passing in an XML data as a parameter and getting back resulting XML data as a parameter. The Execute SQL task is using ADO connection to do this job. The two parameters(in/out) are type of "string" and mapped as string.

When I execute the task, I get the following error message.

[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "dbo.PromissorPLEDataUpload" failed with the following error: "The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Parameter 2 ("@LogXML"): Data type 0xE7 has an invalid data length or metadata length.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

I also tried mapping the parameter as XML type, but that didn't work either.

If anyone knows what's going on or how to fix this problem please let me know. All I want to do is save returning XML data in the parameter to a local package variable.

Thanks

I Need Help With Stored Procs And UDF
First off, this is a cross post which is also located here:
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=34073

Now, with the following stored procs and UDF, the Result is NULL and I cannot figure out why.

What I am doing is calling a stored procedure pass in an OUTPUT variable of type float. This stored proceudre then calls a different stored procedure passing the same OUTPUT variable of type float. The second stored procedure then calls a UDF passing in two variables to be multiplied ans this should set the OUTPUT variable to the result.

The UDF does return the correct result to the interior stored procedure, but the interior stored procedure does not pass the value back to the original stored procudure resultint in a Result value = NULL.

The code is below, just copy / past, execute and you will see exactly what I mean.

Any thoughts?

New To Stored Procs
I am trying to improve my SQL and reduce the number of connections my website is making to the server.

Currently I have a stored procedure that gets all the games (and their details) for a single user which works fine which uses a WHERE userid = @userid which is an Int value.

I now need to create a new procedure which brings back the to all their "friends" (again by their userid). How is it best to do this? I originally tried to do a WHERE userID IN (@userid) but was unable to work out what variable type to use for @userid.

Is it best to do a single query in this way or is there a way to use the existing SP, loop through the collection of userids and join the result together into a single set to return? If an IN is the best route, what is the correct datatype for the variable?

Prevent Data Being Inserted Twice
I have a table with 3 columns: ID, Status, DateTime.

I created a stored procedure to insert a staus value for each ID. This will run every hour. The DateTime stores the time, date when the Status was inserted.

If the procedure was to be run a second time in hour window I do not want any Status to be inserted.

Note: that I cannot rely on the procedure being run at exactly the right time - if it was scheduled to run on the hour (i.e at 1:00, 2:00, 3 :00 etc) but didn't run until 1:20 it sould still be able to run at 2:00.

Does anyone know if there is anyway I can gaurd against this?

IF Statement In Stored Procs... Help!
Hi all!

I am not an expert in Stored Procs. I would like to build one for a product list that would return a default value without using output parameters, if possible. Ultimately, I wouldn't be opposed to it.

It currently looks like this:

CREATE PROCEDURE ProductsByVendorNo
(
@VendorNum nvarchar(24)
)
AS

SELECT
P.ProductID AS ProductID,
P.ProductShortName AS ProductName,
P.ProductDesc AS ProductDesc,
U.UnitDesc AS Unit,
P.VendorProductNumber AS VendorNumber,
V.VendorName AS VendorName,
P.Price AS Price,
P.ImageThumb AS ImageThumb

FROM
tblProducts AS P
INNER JOIN tblUnitCodes AS U ON P.UnitCode=U.UnitCode
INNER JOIN tblVendors AS V ON P.VendorID=V.VendorID

WHERE
V.VendorsVendorNo = @VendorNum
AND P.Inactive = 0

ORDER BY
ProductName,
VendorNumber

I would like for it to return a default, constant value for the URL in the ImageThumb field, if this one is empty. I could not find good documentation of how to use IF statements for this case, i.e. to alter the return of just one field.

Suggestions?

Any input is highly appreciated.

Errors And Stored Procs
Ok, I've read somewhere(which I'm looking for again : ) that said that there are errors like DeadLock that kills the execution of a stored proc and there are other errors that do not necessarily kill the rest of the execution of the stored proc. Is that true? If so does anyone have any links I can read. What I'm seeing is a bad id in the foreign key and I think what is happening is that there was a unique constraint error on the first insert but the stored proc continued executing and used the bad id later on in the stored proc.

I do know I can use the @@error and will start using it but I need more proof to agree or not agree with my theory.

Thanks ahead of time for any information you can give me either way.

Help - Updating Stored Procs !!
Hi all.

First post on here, so please excuse any ignorant parts of my question :)

We've recently had to migrate an application from one server to another, and had lots of problems getting it to work (NT4/SS7 -> 2K3/SS2K5). After much digging around I found the info on SQL server 2k5 changing the SUSER_NAME to SUSER_SNAME (I think from reading the change was actually from SQL Server 2000 - that correct ?).

Anyway I updated some of our stored procedures to correct that issue, and things *seem* to be working again (<-- famous last words, I know :eek: ), but I've been trying to find details of any other changes, particularly command changes, that I may need to make to our stored procedures.

To be honest I've found the info on Microsoft's main site and technet site next to useless - all seems to discuss very generic high-level procedures for database migration etc.. I didn't even find the SUSER change on there.

Could anyone point me to some useful information on other changes to look out for (within the SP's) ??

Thanks in advance for your help, and for taking the time to read this :beer:

Encrypted Stored Procs
Hey yall

I ran into something interesting today and was wondering how one would do this. I have some 3rd party stored procs and one was kicking out a truncate error so I took it upon myself to investigate the stored proc that was kicking out this error. So when I tried viewing the sp, I received an error:*****Encrypted object is not transferable, and script could not be generated.***** and then it brings up a blank editing screen.

First I believe this was a custom error message as it just doesnt seem like the way SQL Server would have presented it.

So how would someone prohibit viewing of a stored proc like this?

Concurrent Stored Procs?
Hi all

I have a stored proc that runs every 4 hours - as a job. The stored proc takes about 3-5 minutes to comple, depending on number of records.
To do testing we run that stored proc manually, also.
Sometimes 2 or more people may run the same stored proc without knowing that the other person is running. This may create duplicates entries once processed.

What I want to know is, Is there a way to check if that stored procedure is currently running. If so it wont run second time concurrently.
(May be semapohres,mutex or something like that?)

(I am trying not to use a table to store whether the stored proc is running or not)

Thanks in advance.

Not Normal Will Stored Procs Help
I will be taking over a database that has almost no pk's or relations(this is not my choice, but a vendors)
Management is looking at stored procs to improve performance, but I am wondering
if the db is in this state will there really be a gain. I am pushing for normalization
first, but if anybody has any ideas or opinions I would appreciate

Using Stored Procs In Subqueries
In the interested of code reuse, is it possible to use a stored procedure in a subquery (I couldn't get it to work, but I figured I'd ask anyway)?

ex:
Select * from employees where employeeid IN(exec getStaffList 1000)

where 1000 is a parameter passed into the proc...

I just don't know if I want to create procs for every time we want to call getStaffList (which has some complicated heirarchy code) for use in another way...

Any other ideas? I've tried many different versions along these same lines, including syntax changes, and an inner join on getStaffList 1000... to no avail...

thanks,
Amy

Using Stored Procs In A DTS Package
I am trying to set up a DTS package that selects data from one table on server A into another table on server B. I want to do a select statement that will do the following:

select store_name
from store (server A)
where date_created >= (select max(date_created) from store (server B)

I use EM 7.0 to manage all of my extracts, however, the data is moving from a Syabase (adaptive Server)onto another Syabase(adaptive server) machine.
Unfortunately, there is no functionality for a linked server connection.

I tried the following, (which doesn't error out), but is not displaying the source columns in the destination tab of the DTS package when setting up the transformations.

declare @maxdate datetime
exec serverB.dbo.sp_max_date_from_store @maxdate
select store_name
from store --(server A)
where date_created >= @store

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Conversion To Stored Procs
Hi,
We are trying to figure out the benefit of converting all the updates/inserts/deletes inline sql to stored procedures in our existing live apps. In the past, my team was using inline sql with coldfusion for everything. Can somebody help me understand if it's all worth it to go back and change or should we just move from this point forward?
Your comments and oppinions are welcome

Security On Stored Procs On Dev Db
I want to "deny" create, update,and delete access on the dbo stored procs that are in the database, but do not want take away dbo owner access. is this possible?

can i create a role and deny access on a particular table in msdb? or a system table in the user table. Thus preventing the developers on the box access to update any of the dbo owned sp's and have them create their own user-owned stored procs?

this is sql7, sp3, development box.

thanks,

Set ANSI_DEFAULTS In Stored Procs
I am looking for some information on where to set the SQL-92 Settings Statements and why. I have seen the statements, such as "SET ANSI_DEFAULTS ON" or "SET ANSI_NULLS ON", set before the drop of a procedure, before the create procedure command and inside the proc itself. It seems the proc behaves differently depending on where these settings are made. I have not been able to find the final word from Microsoft on this. I know a number of these settings cause the proc to recompile but does it matter if it is outside or inside the proc?

If the settings are before the create procedure command then how does the proc know to follow these settings when the proc is called from an app?

Thanks

Compilation Of Stored Procs
Hi,

I would like to know if the execution plans of stored procs also get migrated when we do migration to 2005 from 2000 using attachdetach method or we will need to re-run the stored procs?

The thing is when I am running the Stored procs in 2005, its performing really slow in first run.

Any help in his regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Using Dynamic SQL In Stored Procs
Hi,

I have read in many articles that Dynamic SQL should not be used in Stored Procedures as it is not a Best Practice. So Can anyone tell me how to handle the following scenario without using Dynamic SQL in Procs. The scenario is as follows

I have to write a Procedure which will generate a Report from a Table. For this purpose I have to Select about 20 columns from a Table (lets say Table A). Now the report has 5 filters which are completely optional. I mean the user might fill few of the filters or all the filters or none of the Filters

So can anyone help me out in this scenario because my "where" clause is completely Dynamic and I am unable to understand how to handle my where clause without writing Dynamic Queries. Also I am trying to write this query on SQL Server 2000.

If anyone can give me some examples or articles which can be of help it would be great. Please help

Regards

Vineed

Where Do You Put Common Stored Procs?
I have a few stored procs that I use from more than one database. There has to be a place I can put these so I don't have a copy of the proc in each DB, right?

Where do you put them and how do you reference them? Thanks.

Help Understanding Stored Procs
I am having trouble understanding how to correctly use stored procs. Here is what I think the process is. Correct me where I am wrong.

I am developing a read-only program with VB 2005 as a front end and SQL Server back end. The user will enter an ID# for search criteria which will be passed as a parameter to a stored proc. I want to create a stored proc that alters a view by changing the ID# the view filters on. A dataset will be created in the front end from that view.

So in SSMS, I create a new proc like this:

CREATE PROC {blah, blah}

@IDnum

AS

BEGIN

ALTER VIEW {blah, blah}

AS

SELECT {blah, blah}

FROM {blah}

WHERE blah.ID = @IDnum

END

I would run the code to create the proc, then modify it to an ALTER PROC. I've tried this without success. What am I missing. Yes, I am new to this.

Thanks for the help

Stored Procs Script
Can someone please point me in the right direction (guidance or url to a utility or article) as to how we can write a script to scan all of the stored procedures in our database for any reference to a field name were are about to change? Also, can we use such a script to do the actual change from the old field name to the new one?

Thanks!

ARITHABORT AND STORED PROCS
I wrote a stored procedure and set it as a schedule. it has no problem when I execute this SP in query analyzer. But it will show error when I execute it in schedule job.
I think the main reason is I have created a DDL trigger that will fire when DDL_DATABASE_LEVEL_EVENTS happens. Any solution?

SELECT failed because the following SET options have incorrect settings: 'ARITHABORT'. Verify that SET options are correct for use with indexed views and/or indexes on computed columns and/or query notifications and/or xml data type methods. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 1934). The step failed.

How Can I Prevent From Inserting Duplicate Data?

I have a table storing only 2 FKs, let's say PID, MID
Is there any way that I can check distinct data before row is added to this table?
For example, current data is
PID MID------------100 2001100 2005101 3002102 1009102 7523102 2449
If my query is about to insert PID 100, MID 2001, since it's existing data, i don't want to add it. Can I use trigger to solve this issue?

Thanks.

Logging CPU And IO Cost Of Stored Procs
We use SQL Server 2005 and we use lots of stored procedures. Each time a stored procedure run we log the name, execution time and username so we can identify trends and long-running procedures.
I would like to add the actual CPU and IO cost of execution to this log. Is there a way to get it? This type of information is viewable in SQL Server's performance tools - so there must be some way to get it.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks!

SQLDatasource, Stored Procs && Parameters
Hi,
I'm having an issue trying to send parameters to a SQLDatasource object. I"m creating it in code (and I need it to stay there) I have determined that the stored procs called with no parameters work fine. I start having problems when I have any parameters. Interestingly, it doesn't crash. It just fails to run (the onselected event never fires).
dsUser is a protected SQLDatasource property
repMain is a repeater on the aspx sheet
lstUser is a stored proc with one varchar(10) parameter called cSort
Here is my current code that will result in no called to StatementCompleted and no data. Pull cSort parameter from the proc and it works just fine. Obviously I'm setting it wrong.
string cSelect = "dbo.lstUser";
dsUser = new SqlDataSource();
dsUser .ConnectionString = GetConStr();
dsUser .SelectCommand = cSelect;

dsUser .SelectParameters.Add( "cSort", TypeCode.String, "" );

dsUser .Selected += StatementCompleted;
repMain.DataSource = dsUser ;

TIA,
Nick Hustak

Error Handling/ Stored Procs
Hi, I'm doing some fairly basic updates with stored procedures. 99% of them affect one row. I've jsut discovered that I can't get the value of @@rowcount and @@error to return as output parameters (if I check one, the other one gets reset!). My theory is then to return the rowcount and if it's not = 1, then I know I've had a problem. If I begin a transaction in vb.net and call each proc in the required order and check each step that rowcount = 1, is this a reliable method of ensuring no errors have occurred?Thanks.
