Stored Procedure With Variable As Only Parameter In Where Clause


Hello,

 I want to execute a sproc where the query statement goes something along these lines:

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE @aVarCharVariable

@aVarCharVariable contains column names and their possible values

How do I achieve this?

Cheers!

Using A Stored Procedure Variable To Define A Where Clause
Hi all,

I'm trying to build a Where clause in a stored procedure based on the information that is passed into the stored procedure.  Because I don't know how many items will be passed into the stored procedure, I'm having to split the string on a specific character and build the Where clause based on how many strings are found.

However, when I try to execute the Where clause it throws an error.





Code Snippet

ALTER PROCEDURE getUsersAddress
    -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
    @LName varchar(1000)
    @City varchar(1000),
    @State varchar(1000),
    @License varchar(1000)

AS

declare @Count as int
declare @x as int
declare @wLName as varchar(2000)
declare @wCityas varchar(2000)
declare @wStateas varchar(2000)
declare @wLicense as varchar(2000)

BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
   
    if right(rtrim(@LName),1) <> ';'
    begin
        set @LName = @LName + ';'
    end

    set @Count = PATINDEX('%;%',@LName)
   
    set @wLName = '(tblUsers.LName = '''
    while @Count <> 0
    begin
        set @wLName = @wLName + left(@LName, @Count - 1)
       
        set @LName = stuff(@LName, 1, @Count, '')
        set @Count = PATINDEX('%;%',@LName);
       
        if @Count <> 0
        begin
            set @wLName = @wLName + ''') OR (tblUsers.LName = '''
        end
        else
        begin
            set @wLName = @wLName + ''')'
        end
    end
       
    print cast(@wLName as varchar(5000))
   
    -- Insert statements for procedure here
    SELECT
        tblUsers.FullName,
        tblUsers.Addy1,
        tblUsers.Addy2,
        tblUsers.City,
        tblState.StateAbbr,
        tblUsers.Zip,
        tblUsers.Zip4
    FROM
        tblUsers
        INNER JOIN tblState ON tblUsers.FK_StateID = tblState.StateID
        INNER JOIN tblUserDetails ON tblUsers.UserID = tblUserDetails.FK_UserID
    WHERE
        (@wLName) OR
        (tblUsers.City = @City) OR
        (tblState.StateAbbr = @State) OR
        (tblUserDetails.CDLType = @License)
END
So when I print do an exec getUsersAddress 'Johnson;Smith', 'City;Test City', 'TX;OK', 'Class A;Class B'

@wLName comes out as (tblUsers.LName = 'Johnson') OR (tblUsers.LName = 'Smith')

However, I can't save the procedure as it gives me an error of:
An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'OR'.

When I copy and paste the @wLName value in place of @wLName in the Where clause it works, so how can I get the @wLName variable to work in that Where clause?

Stored Procedure Parameter And IN Clause
This works:

WHERE ltrim(str((DATEPART(yyyy, dbo.Media_Tracking_Ad_History.ADDATE))) IN ('2003','2004','2005'))


This doesn't:

WHERE
WHERE ltrim(str((DATEPART(yyyy, dbo.Media_Tracking_Ad_History.ADDATE))) IN (@strYears))


@strYears will work if I only pass a single value such as 2003. I've tried every combination of single and double quotes I can think of to pass multiple values but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Passing A Stored Procedure Parameter Into An IN Clause
Hi All :)

I have a stored procedure which, initially, I had passed a single parameter into a WHERE clause (e.g ...WHERE CustomerCode = @CustCode). The parameter is passed using a DECommand object in VB6.

I now require the sp to return values for more than one customer and would like to use an IN clause (e.g ...WHERE CustomerCode IN(@CustCode). I know I could create multiple parameters (e.g. ...WHERE CustomerCode in (@CustCode1, @CustCode2,...etc), but do not want to limit the number of customers.

If I set CustCode to be KA1001, everything works fine. If I set CustCode to be KA1001, KA1002 it does not return any records.

I think the problem is in the way SQL Server concatenates the stored procedure before execution. Is what I am attempting to do possible? Is there any particular format I need to set the string parameter to? I've tried:

KA1001', 'KA1002 (in the hope SQL Server just puts single quotes either side of the string)

and

'KA1001', 'KA1002'

Both fail :(

Any ideas?

I can call the sproc OK from my code as below, via a tableadapter. And the sproc works as desired from management studio express. I want to get the result returned in the OUTPUT parameter (NOT the Return Value) and place it in a variable. Can anyone advise how I can do this? J.

Passing SSIS Package Variable To Stored Procedure As Parameter
 

I've created a varible timeStamp that I want to feed into a stored procedure but I'm not having any luck. I'm sure its a simple SSIS 101 problem that I can't see or I may be using the wrong syntax
 
in Execute SQL Task Editor I have
conn type -- ole db
connection -- some server
sql source type -- direct input
sql statement -- exec testStoredProc @timeStamp = ?
 
if I put a value direclty into the statement it works just fine: exec testStoredProc '02-25-2008'
 
This is the syntax I found to execute the procedure, I don't udnerstand  few things about it.
 
1. why when I try to run it it changes it to exec testStoredProc @timeStamp = ? with error: EXEC construct or statement is not supported , followed by erro: no value given for one or more requreid parameters.
 
2. I tired using SQL commands exec testStoredProc @timeStamp and exec testStoredProc timeStamp  but nothing happens. Just an error saying unable to convert varchar to datetime
 
3. Also from SRS I usually have to point the timeStamp to @timeStamp and I dont know how to do that here I thought it was part of the parameter mapping but I can't figure out what the parameter name and parameter size should be; size defaults to -1.
 
Thank you, please help.

Combing In A Cursor, A Select Statement With The WHERE Clause Stored In A Variable
Hi
I am ramesh here from go-events.com
I am using sql mail to send out emails to my mailing list


I have difficulty combining a select statement with a where clause stored in a variable inside a cursor

The users select the mail content and frequency of delivery and i deliver the mail

I use lots of queries and a stored procedure to retrieve thier preferences. In the end i use a cursor to send out mails to each of them.

Because my query is dynamic, the where clause of my select statement is stored in a variable. I have the following code
that does not work

For example

DECLARE overdue3 CURSOR
LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY
FOR SELECT DISTINCT Events.E_Name, Events.E_SDate, Events.E_City, Events.E_ID FROM Events, IndustryEvents + @sqlquery2
OPEN overdue3

I get an error message at the '+' sign
which says, cannot use empty object or column names, use a single
space if necessary

How do I combine the select statement with the where clause?

Help me...I need help urgently

SSIS: Problem Mapping Global Variables To Stored Procedure. Can't Pass One Variable To Sp And Return Another Variable From Sp.
I'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.
Information: 0x4004300A at Import data from flat file to tbl_GLImport, DTS.Pipeline: Validation phase is beginning.

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

SSIS package "MyPackage.dtsx" finished: Failure.

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.

Stored Procedure With User!UserID As Parameter, As Report Parameter?
I had thought that this was possible but I can't seem to figure out the syntax.  Essentially I have a report where one of the parameters is populated by a stored procedure.

Right now this is easily accomplished by using "exec <storedprocname>" as the query string for the report parameter.  However I am not clear if it is possible to now incorporate User!UserID as parameter to the stored procedure.  Is it? Thanks

Stored Parameter Not Returning Variable
/********
Doesn't matter, solved the problem. It was finding a null value in @DBNAME

*********/


If anyone could help me with this it would be very appreciated as I pulling my hair out. This stored procedure is to check each 'site' for more than one admin. If there is more than one admin then it is to append a string variable, @SITES_LIST, with the cursor's current variables.


Code:

alter procedure [dbo].[LOG_MOD_REPORT_ZERO_ADMINS]
--@LIST VARCHAR(7000) OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION

DECLARE @SITES_LIST VARCHAR (7000) --HOLD THE SITE DETAILS FOR THE TEXT FILE
SELECT @SITES_LIST = 'SITE_ID,PRACTICE_NAME,DBNAME' + CHAR(10) +CHAR(13) --HEADINGS FOR REPORT

DECLARE C CURSOR FOR
SELECT ID, PRACTICE_NAME, DBNAME
FROM SITE_DETAILS

OPEN C

DECLARE @SITE_ID int
DECLARE @PRACTICE_NAME VARCHAR (50)
DECLARE @DBNAME VARCHAR (64)

FETCH NEXT FROM C INTO @SITE_ID, @PRACTICE_NAME, @DBNAME

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN

--print @SITE_ID
--PRINT @PRACTICE_NAME
if (SELECT COUNT(ID)
FROM PCS_ROLE
WHERE PCS_ROLE_NAME IN ('System Administrator', 'Caldicott Lead')
AND MAIN_SITE_ID = @SITE_ID) >= 0
Begin
-- PRINT 'Entered if statement'
SET @SITES_LIST = (@SITES_LIST + convert(varchar,@SITE_ID) + ',' + @PRACTICE_NAME
+ ',' + @DBNAME + CHAR(10) +CHAR(13))
end

Print @SITES_LIST

FETCH NEXT FROM C INTO @SITE_ID, @PRACTICE_NAME, @DBNAME
END

CLOSE C
DEALLOCATE C
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END TRY


BEGIN CATCH

CLOSE C
DEALLOCATE C

IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0 ROLLBACK
SELECT ERROR_MESSAGE() as ERRORMESSAGE;
END CATCH



Using print statements I know the cursor is getting the site_details with no problems and entering the if statement, and the select statement does work, so I am guessing it is not setting the variable @SITE_LIST properly. I can append to site list if I just add a string to it, and it prints successfully. However, when I try to perform @SITE_LIST = @SITE_LIST + variables the @SITE_LIST variable is set to '' first, so all i get is the appended variables as print output.

Anyone know how to append to a variable like this or concatenate it without resetting itself?!

Thanks for any future help,
Mike

Stored Proc Output Parameter To A Variable
I'm trying to call a stored procedure in an Execute SQL task which has several parameters. Four of the parameters are input from package variables. A fifth parameter is an output parameter and its result needs to be saved to a package variable.

Here is the entirety of the SQL in the SQLStatement property:
EXEC log_ItemAdd @Destination = 'isMedicalClaim', @ImportJobId = ?, @Started = NULL,  @Status = 1, @FileType = ?, @FileName = ?, @FilePath = ?, @Description = NULL, @ItemId = ? OUTPUT;
I have also tried it like this:
EXEC log_ItemAdd 'isMedicalClaim', ?, NULL,  1, ?, ?, ?, NULL, ? OUTPUT;

Here are my Parameter Mappings:
Variable Name      Direction   Data Type   Parameter Name
User::ImportJobId  Input       LONG        0
User::FileType     Input       LONG        1
User::FileName     Input       LONG        2
User::FilePath     Input       LONG        3
User::ImportId     Output      LONG        4

When this task is run, I get the following error:


0xC002F210 at [Task Name], Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "EXEC log_ItemAdd @Destination = 'isMedicalClaim', @ImportJobId = ?, @Started = NULL, @Status = 1, @FileType = ?, @FileName = ?, @FilePath = ?, @Description = NULL, @ItemId = ? OUTPUT" failed with the following error: "An error occurred while extracting the result into a variable of type (DBTYPE_I4)". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The User::ImportId package variable is scoped to the package and I've given it data types from Byte through Int64. It always fails with the same error. I've also tried adjusting the Data Type on the Parameter Mapping, but nothing seems to work.
Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.

Dynamic Where Clause In Stored Procedure
Hi, I have several parameters that I need to pass to stored procedure but sometimes some of them might be null. For example I might pass @Path, @Status, @Role etc. depending on the user. Now I wonder if I should use dynamic Where clause or should I use some kind of switch, maybe case and hardcode my where clause. I first created several stored procedures like Documents_GetByRole, Documents_GetByRoleByStatus ... and now I want to combine them into one SP. Which approach is better. Thanks for your help.

Dynamic WHERE Clause To Stored Procedure
Hi all!
I need to create a stored procedure with a parameter and then send a WHERE clause to that parameter (fields in the clause may vary from time to time thats why I want to make it as dynamic as possible) and use it in the query like (or something like) this:

---------------------------------------------------
@crit varchar(100)

SELECT fldID, fldName FROM tblUsers
WHERE @crit
----------------------------------------------------

Of course this does not work, but I don't know how it should be done, could someone please point me in the right direction on how to do this kind of queries.

cheers!

(assuming @keywords is declared with varchar)


when I use QA, it runs perfect and returns something that has words in between for matching up firstName, but when I use with the following code (Data access layer) it wouldn't return.. it will only return the matched text.. (ex. if i input 'ke', it suppose return kelvin, kelly, okey something like that, but somehow it only retunrs the whole words that's matched)

Is there something wrong? The code for DAL is as follows.

Public Function GetOrderList(ByVal keywords As String) As DataSet
Dim myConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString"))
Dim myCommand As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter("sp_GetList", myConn)

myCommand.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

Dim paramKeywords As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@keywords", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
paramKeywords.Value = keywords
myCommand.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(paramKeywords)

Dim myDS As New DataSet
myConn.Open()
myCommand.Fill(myDS)
myConn.Close()

Return myDS
End Function

Help With Dynamic Where Clause In Stored Procedure
I have a stored procedure being called based on user search criteria. Some, the colour and vendor fields are optional in the search so i do not want that portion of the procedure to run.

Can't Use Stored Procedure In Query Where Clause???
 

Hi,
 
By reading answers on the web I have found out that I can't use a stored procedure in a where clause of my query, but I can use a User defined function. This almost fits my needs but not quite. The function would work great if it could insert the results of its query into our cache table but you can't insert stuff into external tables to the function.
 
The problem is that our stored procedure/function does looping to find parent objects way back up the tree to find out permissions for certain records. Since the stored procedure and function do so much querying to find the root most object that has permissions set there is a lot of reads in our call. We would like to cache this process so that next time they look for permissions it only does one read first. But in order for our caching to work the function needs to insert the results it found in our cache table which it can't do and the stored procedure can't be used in a where clause so that doesn't work. Any suggestions?
 
Query looks like this, the query is built on the fly through code.
 
select Title, Descriptions FROM defects df WHERE dbo.fnHasProjectRights(df.ProjectID);
 
and that function first checks the cache table to see if it has ran before for that projectID and if not then starts doing all its logic to get permissions.
 
Any suggestions how to approach this?  I just wish functions could insert and or stored procedures could be used in the where clause since they can insert.
 
Thanks,

Passing Datetime Variable To Stored Proc As Parameter
Hello,

I'm attempting to pass a datetime variable to a stored proc (called via sql task).  The variables are set in a previous task where they act as OUTPUT paramters from a stored proc.  The variables are set correctly after that task executes.  The data type for those parameters is set to DBTIMESTAMP.

When I try to exectue a similar task passing those variables as parameters, I get an error:

Error: 0xC002F210 at ax_settle, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "exec ? = dbo.ax_settle_2 ?, ?,?,3,1" failed with the following error: "Invalid character value for cast specification". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.

If I replace the 2nd and 3rd parameters with quoted strings, it is successful:
exec ?= dbo.ax_settle ?, '3/29/06', '4/30/06',3,1

The stored proc is expecting datetime parameters.

Thanks for the help.

Highly Dynamic Where Clause In A Stored Procedure
I have a situation where I'll need to get results from tables based on totally arbitrary filters. The user can select the field to compare against, the value, the comparison operator, and the boolean operator, so each bit in brackets would be configurable:[field] [>] [value] [and]The user can specify an arbitrary number of these, including zero of them. I like the coalesce function for situations that are a little more structured, but I think I'm stuck generating a dynamic query for this -- please correct e if I'm wrong!

Stored Procedure With Optional/dynamic Where Clause
If I do this with a function and multiple inline sql statements, I could probably do it much easier, but here at work, sprocs are required, and I can't seem to stretch my knowledge and Google searches far enough to find the answer. Plus, I don't really think that creating 4 separate sProcs is the most efficient way of doing this
I need to select and return 8 columns from a table, but the problem is I need to feed the sProc parameters in such a way, that I can use different criteria in the Where Clause.
for instance, I need to combine these 4 select statements into one:1. Select (fields) from (table) Where TechID=@TechID and Status=@Status)2. Select (fields) from (table) Where TechID=@TechID3. Select (fields) from (table) Where OrdNum=@OrdNum3. Select (fields) from (table) Where CustNum=@CustNum
In all instances, the fields and the table are the same - how can I combine all these possible Where clauses (if/then - Select Case?) so that it's only one Stored Procedure?
(or, is this even possible?)

Stored Procedure Where Clause Not Working Properly
I am having a problem with this stored procedure.  I'm using SQL Server 2005 Developer's edition and if I execute the procedure in a query window, I get no errors.  Also, when the script runs from a website call there are no errors.  The problem is that it doesn't return the information that is in the database.  It is supposed to return the orders from Washington state between such and such dates.  The orders are there in the database, so I think the where clause must be wrong.

Using Table Name Stored In A Scalar Variable In Stored Procedure Problem
Hello to all!

I have a table name stored in a scalar variable (input parameter of my stored procedure). I need to run SQL statement: SELECT COUNT (*) FROM MyTable and store the result of my query in a scalar variable:

For example:

declare @countRows int

set @countRows = (select count(*) from MyTable)

The problem is that the name of MyTable is stored in the input variable of my stored procedure and of corse this does not work:

declare @countRows int

set @countRows = (select count(*) from @myTableName)

I also tried this:

declare @sqlQuery varchar(100)

set @sqlQuery = 'select count(*) from ' + @myTableName

set  @countRows = exec(@sqlQuery)

But it looks like function exec() does not return any value...

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thanx,

Procedure Or Function 'stored Procedure Name' Expects Parameter Which Was Not Supplied

It seems that my code is not passing the parameter to the stored procedure.

it is suppose to get the country name and description, based on the country id.
I am passing the country id like this.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PopulateControls();
}
private void PopulateControls()
{
string countryId = Request.QueryString["CountryID"];
if (countryId != null)

divisionDescriptionLabel.Text = cd.Description;

if (table.Rows.Count > 0)
{
details.Name = table.Rows[0]["Name"].ToString();
details.Description = table.Rows[0]["Description"].ToString();
}
return details;
}
 
As you can see I have two stored procedures I am calling, one does not have a parameter and the other does. The getcountry stored procedure returns the list of countries in a menu that I can click to see the details of that country. That is where my problem is when I click the country name I get

Passing An Array Into A Stored Procedure And The 'IN' Clause Will Not Do The Trick
I have a table that looks like this:




RecordId
PictureId
KeywordId

111
212
313
421
522
623
725
817
932
1044
I need to run a query where I pass in an unknown number of KeywordIds that returns the PictureId. The 'IN' clause will not work because if a KeyWordId gets passed into the Stored Procudure the PictureId must have a record with each KeyWordId being passed in. For example, lets say you need to see the result of all PictureIds that have both 1 and 2, the correct result set should only be PictureId 1 and PictureId 2.
 
Im going crazy trying to find a simple solution for this. Please advise.

WHERE Clause' Search Condition From Argument In A Stored Procedure.
Hello
 
I wonder if someone could suggest a way to obtain the following. Using SQL Server 2005 I want to create some stored procedures. I want to query the DB with various filter arguments and combinations of these. One way would be to create one stored procedure for each function signature. However, as the number of combinations of filter is large, if possible I'd rather have a generic input to the each stored procedure that corresponds to the entire WHERE clause' search condition.
 
The stereotype behavior I'm looking for is:
 
SELECT myField
FROM myTable
WHERE @mySearchCondition
 
Does any one have some good suggestion, code samples and/or links?

Problem Creating A Stored Procedure With The Execute As Clause.
I have a server with a login named NewCreator. This login is assigned only to the dbcreator server role.

 

I want this login to be able to execute the stored procedure, sp_helplogins.

 

The sp_helplogins documentation says the caller of this proecedure needs securityadmin permissions.

 

I know that I should be able to create a login, say 'SecAdmin' and assign that login to the security admin server role, and then grant NewCreator Impersonate permission on SecAdmin.

 

What I don't like about this technique is that NewCreator can get on the server and gain complete authority over security when I really only want him to be able to execute sp_helplogins.

 

Therefore, what I am attempting is the following:

 

I create the login, SecAdmin, and assign it to the securityadmin server role.

 

Then I right click sp_helplogins and select 'Modify'.

 

I change the Alter to Create, change the name of the procedure to sp_myspecialone, and then add the sql statement "With Execute as 'SecAdmin'.

 

I execute the above and the new stored procedure is created. I then grant Execute on sp_myspecialone to NewCreator.

 

Everything works fine so far. But when I login as NewCreator and execute sp_myspecialone, I get an error in line 73 - no permission.

 

Line 73 is blank, but the next few lines read:

 

if (not (is_srvrolemember('securityadmin') = 1))

begin

raiserror(15247,-1,-1)

select @RetCode = 1

goto label_86return

end

 

What am I doing wrong? Is their a better alternative to accomplish what I want to do?

 

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

RS 2005: Stored Procedure With Parameter It Runs In The &&"Data&&" Tab But The Report Parameter Is Not Passed To It
Hello,
since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.

I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest]
 @Name nvarchar(20)= ''

AS
BEGIN

declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);

SET NOCOUNT ON
set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table'
if (@Name <> '')
begin
set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + ''''
end
EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery
end

Inside my business Intelligence Project I created:
-the shared data source with the connection String
- a data set :
  CommandType = Stored Procedure
  Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest
When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.

Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter...
So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name
allow blank value is checked and is non-queried

the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!

What is wrong? What I forgot??

Thankx for any help!

Stored Procedure
@Search NVARCHAR(MAX),
@Sort NVARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT ECN.ECN, ECN.A, ECN.B FROM ECN WHERE ECN.ECN LIKE @Search OR ECN.A LIKE @Search ORDER BY @Sort
I get the following error
Msg 1008, Level 16, State 1, Line 10
The SELECT item identified by the ORDER BY number 1 contains a variable as part of the expression identifying a column position. Variables are only allowed when ordering by an expression referencing a column name.
 
Any Ideas

How To Pass A Variable To The Stored Procedure?
Hi,
i need to insert a record 1 or more times, depending of a variable in code-behind:dim amount as integeramount= value (e.g. 3)
My problem is: how to pass that variable to the stored procedure?I tried with this but nothing happens:
comd.Parameters.Add("@amount", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 10).Value = amount_of_details
Maybe is my stored procedure wrong?
Thanks
T.
Here is it:----------
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.insert_table (@field1 nvarchar(10),...)ASDeclare @iLoopNumber intDeclare @amount intBEGIN TRAN
SET @iLoopNumber = 1
SET @amountr
While (@iLoopNumber <= @amount)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO table(field1,...)
VALUES (....))
 SET @iLoopNumber = @iLoopNumber +1
End
COMMIT TRAN

Variable Sorting In Stored Procedure
Hi I am trying to achieve something like:


ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetShares

@SortValue varChar(30)= SHARE_DESCRIPTION
as
SELECT SHARES.SHARE_DESCRIPTION, SHARES.SHARE_SYMBOL, SECTORS.SECTOR_NAME
FROM SHARES INNER JOIN
SECTORS ON SHARES.SECTOR_ID = SECTORS.SECTOR_ID
ORDER BY @SortValue
but it does not seem to be possible to use variable after order by
is there any way to achieve something with sorting by variable?

What Wrong With This Variable In Stored Procedure?
Hi all.

1. I have a stored procedure, the procedure need create new category for forums, each category have their own place (what going first , what going second etc...), it's importent for me that all categories will be in property for them place, so i must read next place from table, and if not then i set it = 0 . But it's seems not working, i getting error.
Can somebody tell me please what wrong ?


ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.CreateCategory
(
@category_name varchar(100)
)

AS
declare @place int

/* setting place to zero */
SET @place = 0

/* trying to get last place and set value into @place */
SET @place = (Select max(category_place) FROM fo_categories)

/* if got nothing from table then setting value of first category */
IF (@place = 0)
set @place = 1


INSERT fo_categories (category_name, category_place)
VALUES(@category_name, @place)

RETURN


Running dbo."CreateCategory" ( @category_name = Public forums ).
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'category_place', table 'mg_forum.dbo.fo_categories'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.


2. I also would ask what SET NOCOUNT ON/OFF mean and for what i can use it ?
