MS SQL Server :: Compilation Of Stored Procs

Ignore Compilation Errors For Creation Of Stored Procedures
I have an application that is moving from an home made full text search engine to using the full text indexing engine of SQL 2005. I have a stored procedure that I want to behave as:
check documents table to determine whether a full text index for SQL's full text engine has been created.
If it has not, query the documentText table (which is the table for my in-house full text search)
If it has, use the full text indexing engine

My problem is that compilation of the TSQL to create the stored procedure fails when the full text index has not already been created with the followign error:

Msg 7601, Level 16, State 2, Procedure My_FullTextSearch, Line 0

Cannot use a CONTAINS or FREETEXT predicate on table or indexed view 'Documents' because it is not full-text indexed.

In my test lab, I tried:
1. creating the full text index
2. creating the stored procedure
3. deleting the ful text index
which gets me to the desired end result of having a stored procedure that can determine whether or not the full text index has been created yet (the procedure works in this state). But I creating this index as part of this stored procedure creation in production is not an option.

My question - Can I somehow tell SQL to ignore the compilation errors it encounters while creating this stored procedure? If not, is there some other way to create this "smart" stored procedure?

Here's a code snippet stripped down to the bare minimum to generate the error:

CREATE PROCEDURE [My_FullTextSearch]

@Term VarChar(1000)

AS

BEGIN

SET NOCOUNT ON;

IF NOT OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID('Documents'), 'TableHasActiveFulltextIndex')=1

BEGIN

Select [DocumentID]

from [DocumentText]

where [Term] like '%' + LTRIM(@Term) + '%'

END

ELSE

BEGIN

Select [key] from FREETEXTTABLE(Documents, Contents, @Term)

END

END

Stored Procedure Compilation Question: Doing Disparate Things In Aproc
To minimize the very large number of stored procedures typicallyassociated with an application, I have gotten in the habit ofcombining a select, insert, update, and delete all in one procedure,and passing an argument to indicate which to use. (I use defaultvalues for all input params to avoid having to declare them forselects and deletes.) So I'll have just one PersonAdmin proc insteadof PersonGet, PersonInsert, PersonUpdate, and PersonDelete procsWhile this is nice for housekeeping, I wonder what the compiler doeswith such an architecture,and I fear the worst. The select returns arecordset; the others don't.Is this a bad idea?If it is, I really wish SQL would permit some sort of user folderstructure in the proc list.

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 ?

THANKS.

i don't think i can do justice to how utterly stupid that stored procedure is

read the comments and have a laugh

.exe From Stored Procs
Hey guys.

I am wondering if it is possible to execute an .exe from a stored proc. I have an application that calls a stored proc and I am wanting for that stored proc to call up an app to show certain results. I have no way of doing this on the application itself as I dont have the source code. So, since I do have access to the SQL I am wondering if it could be done there.

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?

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.

Thanks in advance,

Question Regarding Stored Procs

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.

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...

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?

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.

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.

SQLDatasource, Stored Procs && 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 ;

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.

If I attempt to import (or copy a database to a new server) this seems to cause me a problem. I get an import error at 99% with the error msg displaying just the column name that has a problem.

I then have to go through all the procs and find the delinquent one and fix or remove it.

Dynamically Created Stored Procs???
Okay. Scenario:

We as a company have several companies that request custom reports from us. However, the custom reports that they select will generally always have the same fields (and formulas) once they make up their minds on what works for them.

From what I know, Stored Procs are usually faster at running things unless the parameters are changing too drastically that they get passed.

This being the case, it would seem like a good case for creating a stored proc per report. This would alleviate the possability that the server chooses an execution plan that works great some of the time but the rest of the time run lousy.

So these thoughts being laid out, is there a good,nice,easy, convenient way to generate/alter a stored proc, either by another stored/extended proc, or by dynamic sql going to the server?

Or if not, is there some round-about yet effective way of doing this?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Corrupt Stored Procs On SQL Server 6.5
Hi

Recently I have experienced the following scary scenario;

Users report a problem with an app, on diagnosis it is found that a bunch of SPs in SQL Server seem to be corrupt.

That is, when the code for them is listed, the 'Create Procedure..' line and several DECLARE lines are missing. Often the SP starts off in the middle of a variable name!!

Perhaps entries in the syscomments table have become corrupted?

Has anyone seen this problem before - is it perhaps a known bug in SQL Server 6.5?

Regards,

Searching Thru Stored Procs Via The Sys Tables
Basically, I want to be able to have a stored procedure that will search through all the stored procedures looking for a given string and returning the names of all the stored procs that contain that string value.

I know I can script it off and then do a text search in Notepad or whatever, but I figured there must be a more elegant way to do it. More than likely dealing with the DB sys tables.

Is there already a tool in SQL Server that does this? Or has anybody had a chance to roll their own?

Thanks,
Tim

[COMPILE] Lock On Stored Procs
To all,
When a stored proc is executed in SQL server 2000, it is holding a EXCLUSIVE [COMPILE] lock on the proc and the proc os getting recompiled every time it is executed. This is happening with most of the procs that are called from this proc. When multiple users are executing the same process they are having to wait until the other users are done compiling the procs. The lapse time is growing exponentially with multiple users.

I have looked at several places to find a solution for this. Microsoft Articles Q243586 and Q263889 have provided me with some options; but at this point, I need a miracle.

All these procs users temp tables. I have got the code changed to replace most of them with Table datatypes (on SQL2K only) . Some of them still need to use temp tables as they are cross referenced by multiple procs.

I am hopeful, there is some one out there who has dealt with this kind of situations before. Any ideas/sugessions are greatly appreciated..

Thanks

Executing Extended Stored Procs???
I've written a very simple extended stored proc--little more than what VC++
6.0's ext stored proc wizard generates--set up the xp in the master database,
and eventually want to execute it from a trigger defined on a table in another database...

I've tested the xp in Query Analyzer. If the DB is set to 'master', the xp
runs (exec xp_InputTrigger), no problem. If I change databases and try to run the xp, I get:

Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 1
Could not find stored procedure 'xp_InputTrigger'.

Keying "exec master.xp_InputTrigger", also fails: Could not find stored procedure 'master.xp_InputTrigger'.

I've checked permissions--all seem to be set right. Anyone have any insight
for me here? Many thanks,
mjo

Stored Procs - Managing Permissions
Does anyone know how to multiple select stored procedures and deal with the permission sin one go? I know you can do this easily in SQL 6.5 but not in SQL 7. I have to select each stored procedure individually to manage permissions.

Building Dynamic SQL In Stored Procs
We are migrating from a file-server Access Database to a SQL server backend and Access front end system. I'm using ADO to access the data off the server but am implementing most of the business logic in stored procedures. All logic was coded in VBA earlier but i'm having to move that to T-SQL for performance issues. In many cases I have dynamically constructed SQL statements in code but I'm having some trouble in T-SQL. How can I do this in T-SQL?

' This is some VB code that shows how the query differs based on a parameter.
If Me![Sorting] = 1 Then
Me![ControlNumber].RowSource = "SELECT [DVD_Projects_Table].[DVD_Number], [Title] & "" : "" & [ID_Number] AS Display,__
[DVD_Projects_Table].Date FROM [DVD_Projects_Table] __
WHERE ((([DVD_Projects_Table].System) = IIf([Forms]![DVD_Projects_Form]![SystemFilter] = 1, ""525"", ""625""))) And __
(([DVD_Projects_Table].Active) = IIf([Forms]![DVD_Projects_Form].[ActiveOnly] = True, Yes, __
[DVD_Projects_Table].[Active]))) ORDER BY [DVD_Projects_Table].Title;"
Else
Me![ControlNumber].RowSource = "SELECT [DVD_Projects_Table].[DVD_Number], [ID_Number] & "" : "" & [Title] AS Display,__
[DVD_Projects_Table].Date FROM [DVD_Projects_Table]__
WHERE ((([DVD_Projects_Table].System) = IIf([Forms]![DVD_Projects_Form]![SystemFilter] = 1, ""525"", ""625""))) And __
(([DVD_Projects_Table].Active) = IIf([Forms]![DVD_Projects_Form].[ActiveOnly] = True, Yes, __
[DVD_Projects_Table].[Active]))) ORDER BY Int(Right([ID_Number],Len([ID_Number])-4));"
End If

This is the ideal sp that would do what I want but it is obviously incorrect. How can I get this logic implemented. I need to construct an SQL query based on the input parameters in a stored procedure.

CREATE PROCEDURE [procDVDProjectsList]
@SortBy as bit,
@ActiveOnly as bit,
@SysFilter as integer
AS
SELECT
CASE @SortBy
/* Display Title first */
WHEN 0 THEN [DVD_Number], [Title] + " : " + [ID_Number] AS Display, [DVD_Projects_Table].[Date]
/* Display Number first */
WHEN 1 THEN [DVD_Number], [ID_Number] + " : " + [Title] AS Display, [DVD_Projects_Table].[Date]
END
FROM
[DVD_Projects_Table]
WHERE
CASE @SysFilter
/* List all */
WHEN 0 THEN
/* List only NTSC */
WHEN 1 THEN [DVD_Projects_Table].[System] = "525"
/* List only PAL */
WHEN 2 THEN [DVD_Projects_Table].[System] = "625"
END
AND
CASE @ActiveOnly
/* List All */
WHEN 0 THEN
/* List only active */
WHEN 1 THEN [DVD_Projects_Table].Active = True
END
ORDER BY
CASE @Sortby
/* Sort Alpha */
WHEN 0 THEN [DVD_Projects_Table].Title
/* Sort Numeric */
WHEN 1 THEN Right([ID_Number],Len([ID_Number])-4)
END

Thanks for your help,

Code Control & SQL Stored Procs
Has anyone ever used Visual SourceSafe to control SQL's stored procedures?
I hear it is unreliable to manage stored procedures in SQL7.

Do any of the DBA's out there manage source code? I'm looking for a software product that I can deploy development code (including stored procs, VB apps) from a development environment to a production environment.

Dev ---> Testing ----> Prod
