Return SP In A SELECT Statement Column
I have a stored procedure which contains a complex scripting that is not an option to rewrite as a single SELECT statement.
I want the following output:
CatID | CatTitle | CatTree
001 | News | exec sp_DisplayTree(@CatID)
My code I tried doesn't work:
SELECT
C.CatID As CatID,
C.CatTitle As CatTitle,
CatTree = (exec sp_DisplayTree C.CatID)
FROM
Cats As C WITH (nolock)
I cannot find a solution to my solution, please help...

Return Select Statement Or Values Using SqlDataSource?
Hello all, I have been working with a DetailsView control for the past week and it is a great control, but also lacks on some departments. Anyhow I need to know what the best approach for this scenerio would be? I have a SqlDataSource" <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlUpsertAffiliateDetails" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:connectionstring %>" SelectCommand="SELECT am.affiliate_id AS AffiliateId, am.member_id AS MemberId, m.First_Name, m.Last_Name, am.category_id AS CategoryId, ac.category_name, am.profile_web_address AS WebAddress, am.profile_email_1 AS Email, am.comments AS Comments, am.date_modified FROM tAffiliateMaster AS am WITH (NOLOCK) INNER JOIN tAffiliateCategories AS ac WITH (NOLOCK) ON am.category_id = ac.category_id INNER JOIN rapdata..Member AS m WITH (NOLOCK) ON am.member_id = m.Member_Number WHERE (am.affiliate_id = @AffiliateId)" UpdateCommand="spUpsertAffiliateProfile" UpdateCommandType="StoredProcedure"> <SelectParameters> <asp:QueryStringParameter Name="AffiliateId" QueryStringField="affiliate_id" /> </SelectParameters> <UpdateParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="Action" Type="Byte" DefaultValue="2" /> </UpdateParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource> And my SP:/* 09-19-07 Used to update affiliate profile */ CREATE PROCEDURE spUpsertAffiliateProfile @Action tinyint, @AffiliateId int, @MemberId int = -1, @CategoryId int, @WebAddress varchar(50), @Email varchar(50), @Comments varchar(1500) AS SET NOCOUNT ON -- Find errors first, check is not needed if deleting IF @Action <> 3 IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT Member_Number FROM rapdata..Member_Association WHERE Member_Number = @MemberId AND Status = 'A' AND Association_ID = 'TRI' AND Bill_Type_Code LIKE '%AF%') BEGIN SELECT retval = 'A qualified member ID was NOT found.

Return Variable Name As Part Of Select Statement.
hey all, I have the following query: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SelectMostRecentArticle] AS BEGIN DECLARE @article_id INT SELECT @article_id = ( SELECT TOP 1 article_id FROM article ORDER BY article_id DESC ) DECLARE @comment_count INT SELECT @comment_count = ( SELECT COUNT(comment_id) FROM comment JOIN article ON article_id = comment_article_id GROUP BY article_id HAVING article_id = @article_id ) SELECT TOP 1 article_id, article_author_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date, article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_id article_author_ip, author_display_name, category_id, category_name--, comment_count AS @comment_count FROM article JOIN author ON author_id = article_author_id JOIN category ON category_id = article_category_id GROUP BY article_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date, article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_ip,article_author_id, author_display_name, category_id, category_name HAVING article_id = @article_id END GO as you can see, im trying to return a comment_count value, but the only way I can do this is by defining the variable. I have had to do it this way, because I cannot say COUNT(comment.comment_id) AS comment_count or it returns an error that it cant reference the comment.comment_id. But when change it to FROM article, comment; I get errors about the article_author_id and article_comment_id. And i cant add a join, because it would return the amount of rows of the comment... unless someone could help with what i Just decribed (as i would prefer to do it this way), how would i return the variable value as part of the select statement? Cheers

Overloading Select Statement Return Values
Hey guys, This is what I think and hope is a fairly straight forward SQL question Essentially, I have a table which has the following columns that are relevent to my question: PROJID ACTIVITY_NAME COMPLETION_DATE Rows in this table are, for example: PROJID ACTIVITY_NAME COMPLETION_DATE 1 Prepro 10/12/2007 3:42:30 2 Prepro 10/13/2007 9:16:27 2 QA 10/13/2007 10:00:01 2 Delivery 10/14/2007 09:31:12 etc. So, really the key is the PROJID & the ACTIVITY_NAME (really, there's a unique column ID, but for this question, I'll leave it at that). (Though this should be much easier to accomplish in code, the system is not built that way so) Is there a good way that I could return a status for a given PROJID based on whether a row exists for a given PROJID). In other words, ultimately, I would like to return something like this: PROJID LAST_ACTIVITY ---------------------------------------------- 1 Prepro 2 Delivery where the activity order (in this case) is Prepro, QA, Delivery. So because a Delivery row exists for PROJID 2, then the LAST_ACTIVITY would return "Delivery" and because only Prepro exists for PROJID 1, the LAST_ACTIVITY returned would be Prepro I really appreciate the help Thanks, Steve

Return NULL Values In SELECT Statement With INNER JOIN ?
If I try to run the code below, and even one of the values in the INNER JOIN statements is NULL, the DataReader ends up with zero rows. What I need is to see the results even if one or more of INNER JOIN statements has a NULL value. For example, if I want info on asset# 2104, and there's no value in the DriverID field, I need the rest of the data to display and just have the lblDriverName by blank.

Select Statement To Return Most Current Syscreated Date On Duplicates
I have a db that has duplicate customer records. If I run the following select statment against the appropriate table it returns the duplilcate records in the result set. However, from this list I want to add an additional select statement embedded into the query that will actually return only those records with the most current syscreated date.

Return The Results Of A Select Query In A Column Of Another Select Query.
Not sure if this is possible, but maybe. I have a table that contains a bunch of logs. I'm doing something like SELECT * FROM LOGS. The primary key in this table is LogID. I have another table that contains error messages. Each LogID could have multiple error messages associated with it. To get the error messages. When I perform my first select query listed above, I would like one of the columns to be populated with ALL the error messages for that particular LogID (SELECT * FROM ERRORS WHERE LogID = MyLogID). Any thoughts as to how I could accomplish such a daring feat?

Select Statement Using Column Numbers
I have a number of lookup tables in my db. Each table typically has an ID column and a 'lookup values' column. I want to create a scalar function wherein, by supplying the table name and the ID, I want to retrieve the lookup value and vice-versa. I donot want to create seperate function for each table, which is easy. One function has to return values given the table name and the value of the ID or lookup value. The problem being faced is how to construct the select statement. An Execute statement created out of column names, retrieved with Col_Name(), is not useful as Execute statement is not permitted inside a a function.

How Do I Get The Actual Name Of A Column Or Table In A Sql Select Statement?
Hello fellow .net developers, In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist. Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist. So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information? Example: Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist. I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist. I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool. Thanks in advance, Robert

How To Eliminate Column Header From Select Statement
Hi Everybody: I want select data from SQL server and save to a file without column header. Anyone has any suggestions?

You can use PLAIN whether or not a TO clause is present. If an INTO clause is included, PLAIN is ignored. " However, I tried in both SQL 2000 and SQL 7, none of them supports it. Any ideas?

Dynamic Column Names In Select Statement
I have a quick question on SQL Server. Lets say I have table Order which has column names OrderId, CustomerName, OrderDate and NumberofItems. To select the OrderID values from the table I say Select OrderId from Order. But in the select if I want the column name to be variable how do I do it. I tried the following code through a stored procedure. declare @order_id nvarchar(10) select @order_id = 'OrderID' SELECT @order_id from Order. The code above gave me the string "OrderID" as many times as there were rows in the table but I could never get the actuall values in the OrderId column. Can you please send me some ideas or code where I can get values from the column names and at the same time change the column name dynamically.

Hiding Or Removing Column Output From Select Statement
I'm executing the following... select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1 the table has many duplicate entries, where COL2 is the primary key and unique, but its the duplicate COL1 entries that have to be removed. I was hoping a simple "delete from table where COL1 not in (select COL1, min(COL2) from TABLE group by COL1)" would do the trick, but obviously in returning two columns from the subselect this won't work. Can I hide the COL2 output from the query that will be put in the subselect? this is a one-off thing, so i'm not overly concerned about overhead or elegance. just need to make it so. tia a

Using The ORDER BY Clause When The Ordered Column Is Not Needed In The SELECT Statement
Greetings, I have a C# application that calls a stored procedure to query the database (MSSQL 2005). I only have one field/column returned from the query but I need that column ordered. How do I use the ORDER BY clause without returning the index column which does the sorting? The first example is NOT what I want. I want something that works like the second example which only returns the 'Name' column. ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure] AS BEGIN SELECT DISTINCT A.Name, A.index FROM ... ... ORDER BY A.[Index], A.Name ASC END ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyProcedure] AS BEGIN SELECT DISTINCT A.Name FROM ... ... ORDER BY A.[Index] END Thanks

Select Statement That Will Output Related Rows With Different Column Data Per Row?
Is there a way to build a select statement that will output related rows with different column data per row? I want to return something like: rowtype| ID | value A | 123 | alpha B | 123 | beta C | 123 | delta A | 124 | some val B | 124 | some val 2 C | 124 | some val 3 etc... where for each ID, I have 3 rows that are associated with it and with different corresponding values. I'm thinking that I will have to build a temp table/cursor that will get all the ID data and then loop through it to insert each rowtype data into another temp table. i.e. each ID iteration will do something like: insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('A', 123, 'alpha') insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('B', 123, 'beta') insert into #someTempTable (rowtype, ID, value) values ('C', 123, 'delta') etc.. After my loop, I will just do a select * from #someTempTable Is there a better, more elegant way instead of using two temp tables? I am using MSSQL 2005

Can A Column Be Derived Using Substring But The Parameters Are A Result Of A Select Statement?
I have a table which has a field called Org. This field can be segmented from one to five segments based on a user defined delimiter and user defined segment length. Another table contains one row of data with the user defined delimiter and the start and length of each segment. e.g. Table 1 Org aaa:aaa:aa aaa:aaa:ab aaa:aab:aa Table 2 delim Seg1Start Seg1Len Seg2Start Seg2Len Seg3Start Seg3Len : 1 3 5 3 9 2 My objective is to use SSIS and derive three columns from the one column in Table 1 based on the positions defined in Table 2. Table 2 is a single row table. I thought perhaps I could use the substring function and nest the select statement in place of the parameters in the derived column data flow. I don't seem to be able to get this to work. Any ideas? Can this be done in SSIS? I'd really appreciate any insight that anyone might have. Regards, Bill

'Return' Statement In A Function,Get,or Operator Must Return A Value....Question
I'm a Reporting Services New-Be. I'm trying to create a report that's based on a SQL-2005 Stored Procedure. I added the Report Designer, a Report dataset ( based on a shared datasource). When I try to build the project in BIDS, I get an error. The error occurs three times, once for each parameter on the stored procedure. I'll only reproduce one instance of the error for the sake of brevity. [rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter 'UserID' contains an error : [BC30654] 'Return' statement in a Function, Get, or Operator must return a value. I've searched on this error and it looks like it's a Visual Basic error : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8x403818(VS.80).aspx My guess is that BIDS is creating some VB code behind the scenes for the report. I can't find any other information that seems to fit this error. The other reports in the BIDS project built successfully before I added this report, so it must be something specific to the report. BTW, the Stored Procedure this report is based on a global temp table. The other reports do not use temp tables. Can anyone help ? Thanks,

Choosing Between Two Column Values To Return As Single Column Value
I'm working on a social network where I store my friend GUIDs in a table with the following structure:user1_guid user2_guidI am trying to write a query to return a single list of all a users' friends in a single column. Depending on who initiates the friendship, a users' guid value can be in either of the two columns. Here is the crazy sql I have come up with to give what I want, but I'm sure there's a better way... Any ideas?SELECT DISTINCT UserIdFROM espace_ProfilePropertyWHERE (UserId IN (SELECT CAST(REPLACE(CAST(user1_guid AS VarChar(36)) + CAST(user2_guid AS VarChar(36)), @userGuid, '') AS uniqueidentifier) AS UserId FROM espace_UserConnection WHERE (user1_guid = @userGuid) OR (user2_guid = @userGuid))) AND (UserId IN (SELECT UserId FROM espace_ProfileProperty))

Multiple Tables Used In Select Statement Makes My Update Statement Not Work?
I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian

TSQL - Use ORDER BY Statement Without Insertin The Field Name Into The SELECT Statement
Hi guys, I have the query below (running okay): Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01 The results are just as I need: Field01 Field02 ------------- ---------------------- 192473 8461760 192474 22810 Because other reasons. I need to modify that query to: Code Block SELECT DISTINCT Field01 AS 'Field01', Field02 AS 'Field02' INTO AuxiliaryTable FROM myTables WHERE Conditions are true ORDER BY Field01 SELECT DISTINCT [Field02] FROM AuxTable The the results are: Field02 ---------------------- 22810 8461760 And what I need is (without showing any other field): Field02 ---------------------- 8461760 22810 Is there any good suggestion? Thanks in advance for any help, Aldo.

RETURN Statement Odd Behavior?
Consider the following (questionable, to be sure, but syntactally legal) storedprocedure (using the Northwind database):Create Procedure TestAsReturn (Select Count(*) From Orders)Select * From Orders;If you execute this SP in QA via:Declare @test int;exec @test = test;print 'Order count = ' + cast(@test as varchar);you'll notice that you get a correct return value, but you also get the entireresultset from the Orders table(!), this despite the fact that BOL states:"The RETURN statement unconditionally terminates a query, stored procedure, or batch.None of the statements in a stored procedure or batch following the RETURN statementare executed."If you change the procedure definition to:Create Procedure TestAsDeclare @tmp int;Select @tmp = Count(*) From Orders;Return @tmp;Select * From Orders;Then things behave as expected, returning only the return value.Worse, if the procedure is defined as:Create Procedure TestAsReturn (Select Count(*) From Orders);Return -1;This will return a -1 regardless of how many rows are in the Orders table.Anybody know what's going on here?- Jeff

Okay, I Thought I Had The Return Value From A Statement Figured Out...
So, Jimmy G helped me out with it in showing a little bit how to do it. SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(, object>) SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@return"; param.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue; command.Parameters.Add(param); command.ExecuteNonQuery(); //get the return value int val = int.Parse(command.Parameters[0].ToString()); Where I get lost is in the declaring of a new sqlcommand and sqlparameter. Can you please spell out where to use this and if I need to change my SQLdataSource. I currently was trying to use it in the OnClick of a button. What I had did the following Protected Sub CreateIssue_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) dim returnValue as integer 'how do I get a return value from the stored procedure executed in 'insertissue.insert() here to a variable? InsertIssue.Insert() Response.Redirect("/addarticletoissue") End Sub again, thank you for your help and patience with such a beginner =)

Trying To Return A String Into Parameters Of An INSERT Statement
Hey guys, What I am trying to do is call a function that returns a string into the parameters of an INSERT command. I have a simple input form that asks the user for their first name, last name, address, city, state, zip code, e-mail address, home and work phone numbers. I then call a script that creates a 16 digit, alpha-numeric confirmation number that I want to also submit into the database. I know the script works, any ideas?? <% response.write(makePassword()) %> // This will write the confirmation number to the web page <asp:SQLDataSource ID="sqlDS1" Runat="Server" InsertCommand="Insert into customer (f_name,l_name,address,city,state,zip,email,h_phone,w_phone,conf) values (@fname,@lname,@addr,@city,@state,@zip,@email,@hp,@wp,@conf)" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:horesyconn %>"> </asp:SQLDataSource> Any advice will be appreciated

Specifying Carriage Return/line Feed In An SQL Statement
Hi there, I hope you can help us. We're using this statement to import some values into a database: SQLStatement = "INSERT MyTable (ID, VALUE) VALUES ('" & IDString & "', '" & VALUEString & "')" The problem is that the strings might contain carriage returns/line feeds, i.e. VALUEString = "Line 1." & vbCrLf & "Line 2." It only imports up until the first vbCrLf. We have tried replacing vbCrLf with "", but this doesn't work either. What is the correct format for inserting a value that contains new line characters? Thanks for your time, Lasse.
