MS SQL Server :: Select Output With Cursor

Output Of Select Stament Into Variable Within Cursor
Within a cursor that I am building I would like to execute a select statement built from a varchar variable as such:

SELECT @BuildDBPageUsed = 'SELECT sum(reserved) FROM ' + @DatabaseName + '.dbo.sysindexes WHERE segment <> 2'

Next I execute the statement, which is now in the variable @BuildDBPageUsed. Such as:

EXEC (@BuildDBPageUsed)

The resulting output I need to set to another variable @DBPageUsed which is integer. I have been unsuccessful in finding the correct set of commands to do this. How should I build the command to input the results of the EXEC (@BuildDBPageUsed) into the integer variable @DBPageUsed?

*Thanks* for any help in this matter.

Using A Cursor Output From Stored Proc
Has anyone ever tried to use a cursor as an output variable to a stored proc ?

I have the following stored proc - CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.myStoredProc
@parentId integer,
@outputCursor CURSOR VARYING OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN TRAN T1
DECLARE parent_cursor CURSOR STATIC
FOR
SELECT parentTable.childId, parentTable. parentValue
FROM parentTable
WHERE parentTable.parentId = @parentId
OPEN parent_cursor

SET @outputCursor = parent_cursor

DECLARE @childId int
DECLARE @parentValue varchar(50)
FETCH NEXT FROM parent_cursor INTO @childId, @parentValue
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SELECT childTable.childValue
FROM childTable
WHERE childTable.childId = @childId

FETCH NEXT FROM parent_cursor INTO @childId, @parentValue
END

CLOSE parent_cursor
DEALLOCATE parent_cursor
COMMIT TRAN T1
GOAnd, I found that I had to use a cursor as an output variable because, although the stored proc returns a separate result set for each returned row in the first SQL statement, it did not return the result set for the first SQL statement itself.

My real problem at the moment though is that I can't figure a way to get at this output variable with VB.NET.Dim da as New SqlDataAdapter()
da.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand("myStoredProc", conn)
da.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim paramParentId as SqlParameter = da.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@parentId", SqlDbType.Int)
paramParentId.Value = 1

Dim paramCursor as SqlParameter = daThread.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@outputCursor")
paramCursor.Direction = ParameterDirection.OutputThere is no SqlDataType for cursor. I tried without specifying a data type but it didn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks

Sorting Cursor Output WITHOUT Using Order By
Hi,
I have a situation where I need to sort the output of a cursor. But since the sort criteria are rather complex, I am NOT able to use the Order By clause directly with the cursor definition statement.

Hence, I need to have a solution where I will use a dummy (calculated) field within the CURSOR and I want the output of this cursor sorted by the dummy field that I calculated within the cursor itself.

Please let me know the different possibilities in this scenario.

Thank you in advance

Stored Procedure With CURSOR OUTPUT Parameter, Using JDBC And A Callable Statement
My server is MS Sql Server 2005. I'm using com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver as the driver class. I've established a connection to the database.

I'm trying to invoke a stored procedure using JDBC and a callable statement. The stored procedure has a parameter @CurOut CURSOR VARYING OUTPUT. How do I setup the callable statement so the output parameter is accepted by the driver?

I'm not really trying to pass a cursor up to the database Server but I'm wanting a cursor back from the stored procedure that is other than the result set or other value the stored procedure returns.

First problem: What java.sql.Types (or SQL Server specific) value do I specify for the out parameter I'm registering on the CallableStatement?

Second problem: What do I set the value of the parameter to?

The code looks like:

CallableStatement cstmt = myConnection.prepareCall(sQuery);

cstmt.registerOutParameter(1, Types.OTHER); // What is the right type?

cstmt.setNull(1, Types.OTHER); // What is the right type?

if (cstmt.execute()) {

ResultSet rs = cstmt.getResultSet();

}

Execution results in a NullPointerException from the driver.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your assistance.

Cursor Vs. Select
buddies,situation: a processing must take place on every row of a table, andoutput results to another table, that can't be done via an insertinto..select query (let's assume that it's not possible for now).There're 2 solutions I have in mind:1) open a cursor and cycle through each row (The table can have up to1M rows)2) create a clustered index (i.e on an identity column) then have aloop like:declare @i int, @rows int,@col1 varchar(20), @col2 varchar(20),... @coln varchar(20),@outval1 varchar(20),... -- output valuesselect @i=1, @rows = max(xid) from tblname -- xid is clustered indexedwhile (@i<=@rows)beginselect @col1 = col1, @col2 = col2,...@coln = colnfrom tblnamewhere xid = i-- do the processing on the variables-- then insert results to another tableset @i = @i+1endI'd like to know your ideas of which one would be more efficient. Anyother solutions are much appreciatedthanks,Tamy

111111111 m 19901211 31

Member's rel_code = 01
spouse's rel_code = 02
daughter's rel_code starts from 20 with the oldest and increments by 1.
Son's rel_code starts from 30 and increments by 1 from oldest to the youngest.

I know You can write a Sp with cursor and do this, but I would like to know if you can accomplish the same thing by a select or case or something else instead of a cursor.

Thanks in advance.

Select Statement In Cursor
Hi...

I have a stored procedure that rertrieves data from an sql database
and sends out a mail to each receipient who meets the criteria

I am using SQL mail.

I dynamically generate the where clause for my sql query based on criteria taken
from other stored procedures and store it in a varchar variable
called @sqlquery

When i have the following code to run my cursor

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.

What should i do. i have tested the variable @sqlquery and it is
definately not blank. There is no bracket error or anything.

Please help!!!

Thanks much indeed

CURSOR Select Clause

Variable As Column In Cursor Select
I can't seem to get a cursor to work when I'm passing in a variable for a column name of the select statement. For example:

declare @col varchar(50)

set @col = 'Temperature'

declare notifycurs cursor scroll for
select @col from Table

Obviously this won't work correctly (since the result will simply be 'Temperature' instead of the actual float value for temperature). I tried to use quotes for the entire statement with an EXEC
(ie. exec('select '+@col+' from Table' )
but that gave me an error.

Is there a way to pass in a variable for a column name for a curor select statement????

That doesn't work, I've also tried using an Execute() statement, no luck there either. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

How To Specify Which Database To Use For A Select Statement Within A Cursor?
Hi everyone,

I have been trying to perform the following task:

Using the sys.databases & sys.sysindexes views to display all the columns with a clustered index for all tables and all databases in a given server. So the end result will have 3 columns:

Database name
Table name
Column name from that table with a clustered index

I have already created the following script which displays all the databases for a given server:

declare @DBname nvarchar(128)
declare testCursorForDB cursor
for
select name from sys.databases with (nolock)
where name not in ('master','tempdb','model','msdb')
order by name

open testCursorForDB
fetch next from testCursorForDB
into @DBname

while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
    print @DBname
    fetch next from testCursorForDB
    into @DBname
end

close testCursorForDB
deallocate testCursorForDB

I also have created the following query which will display all the table and column names which have a clustered index for a given database:

select object_name(i.id) as TableName,

i.name as IndexName
from sys.sysindexes as i with (nolock)
where i.indid = '1'

However, what I need help/advice on is how do I combine these two together into one working script (either using nested cursors or a better way). In other words, how can I specify which database to use (ie. using the "use database_name") so that my query above will be applied to each database found within the cursor.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

3) If now i do an update on that location with a new value 'USA1'

update am_location set location_en = 'USA1' WHERE LOCATION_ID = 7

4)now if i fetch the cursor , i''ll get the old value (USA) not (USA1).

Incrementally Build Cursor Select Using CASE?
In Access/VB/DAO I can declare a string variable to contain my SELECT statement. If I do this I can build the string incrementally and finally open the cursor using OpenRecordset(strSQL). I'd like to be able to do this in SQL7. Let me illustrate:
In Access97:
Function Test(ByVal pstrOrder As String) As Boolean
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblEmployee "
Select Case pstrOrder
Case "Alpha"
strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY [LastName], [FirstName]"
Case "SSN"
strSQL = strSQL & "ORDER BY [SSN]"
End Select
db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
End Function

This is a very simple example....I have a lot of complex SELECT statements and I don't want to retype the same code in the same procedure that does ALMOST the same thing. I'm hoping to use something like the CASE construct:
DECLARE csrEmployee CURSOR
FOR SELECT * FROM tblEmployee
(CASE @pstrOrder
WHEN "Alpha" THEN ORDER BY LastName, FirstName
WHEN "SSN" THEN ORDER BY SSN
END)
Can anyone out there help?

I have a table when user add new sales or puchase will be added to this table ITEM_TXNS. The above date is part of the table for a ProductID . (The field is removed here)
In order to calculate the balance amount using moving average, I must calculated the cost_out_amt first on the fly.
When user add new sales I also need to determine the cost/unit for a product id using moving average. The problem is I can not just use sum, because i need to determine cost_out_amt for each sales first which will be calculated on the fly.
The reason i dont store the cost_out_amt (instead calculate on the fly) because User could Edit the previous sales/purchase txn or Insert new sales for a previous date. Example THe record with ID 9. By Adding this txn with ID 9, would cause all the cost_out_amt will be incorrect (Using moving Average) if i store the cost_amout_out on entrying txn and need to be recalculated.
Instead I just want to calculate on the fly and able to determine the cost avr for a specific point of time.
Should I just use Cursor and loop all the record and calculate the cost or maybe I can just use on Select Statement?

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?

Order By Clause In DECLARE CURSOR Select Statement Won't Compile

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure InsertImportedReportData, Line 69
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'.

However the select statement itself runs perfectly well as a query, no errors.

The T-SQL manual says you can't use the keywords COMPUTE, COMPUTE BY, FOR BROWSE, and INTO in a cursor select statement, but nothing about plain old ORDER BYs.

What gives with this?

How To Do A Select From Sp_helpdb's Output ?
Hi friends,
I want to select only filename column of sp_helpdb's output.But I don't know how should I do this? Other way is doing a direct select from sysfiles or sysdatabases but as you know microsoft doesn't recommand this way. Also I can select that filed in my application level but it is strange for me: Of course sql server should has a proper way to do a select from output curosr of this procedure,Doesn't it?

Supress Output Of Select
How do you supress the output of an execution of a dynamically created sql string)

EXECUTE( @selectFrom + @selectWhere )
The logic I have works fine except the enormous amout of data that goes to output, which
makes it hard to see the messages I intentional send to output.
I do not want the result of this select to go to output at run time
later in the code I check a variable in the created string to determine message output.
I need something like echo off for the execution of the execute.

Output Parameters And Select Statements
Hi,

thanks for reading!

Here is my problem: I have a strored procedure that inserts some records

into one table and then selects some records from another table at the end.

The stored procedure takes several parameters, first one of them is marked as

OUTPUT. I'm using it to return an id of the inserted record. The procedure is called from asp.net code with first parameter set as ParameterDirection.InputOutput (tried with just Output as well). Now for the problem: if the the select statement at the end returns 0 records everything works and i my first parameter contains the @@IDENTITY value from the insert statement like it is supposed to.

If the select statement at the end returns 1 or more records my output parameter is not updated at all and contains the same value as before the procedure was run. All the records are inserted correctly.

if i try to return the @@identity as a plain select statement instead of through the parameter
i get System.DBNull.

I hope you can shed some light on this for me. Here is my stored procedure:

CREATE PROCEDURE cwSaveProductInquiry
@inquiryId int OUTPUT,
@libraryName nvarchar(500),
@contactName nvarchar(200),
@address nvarchar(100),
@city nvarchar(50),
@state nvarchar(3),
@zip nvarchar(10),
@phone nvarchar(50),
@email nvarchar(100),
@comment nvarchar(3000),
@productIds nvarchar(2000)

AS

INSERT INTO INQUIRY (LibraryName, ContactName, Address, City, State, Zip, Phone, Email, Comment) VALUES(@libraryName, @contactName, @address, @city, @state, @zip, @phone, @email,@comment)

--i tried including this statement at the end as well but that did not do the

--trick either

select @inquiryId=@@IDENTITY FROM INQUIRY

set nocount on
declare @separator_position int -- This is used to locate each separator character
declare @objectId varchar(200) -- this holds each array value as it is returned

if(@productIds is not null)
begin
while patindex('%,%' , @productIds) <> 0
begin
select @separator_position = patindex('%,%' , @productIds)
select @objectId= left(@productIds, @separator_position - 1)
INSERT INTO PRODUCT_INQUIRY_LOOKUP (ProductId,InquiryId) VALUES(@objectId, @inquiryId)
select @productIds = stuff(@productIds, 1, @separator_position, '')
end
end
set nocount off

Select Distinct Email from vPRODUCT_CONTACT WHERE ProductId in
(Select ProductId From Product_Inquiry_Lookup Where InquiryId=@inquiryId)

Converting SELECT Output To String
I'm looking for some good hints and tips for reprogrammin an old VB module I just found.

Basically what it does, is receive an input parameter (an int), does a select [name row] from Names where Name_id = [input parameter] and turns this into a string if multiplenames appear.

E.g. result set: John, Josh, Jock turns it into string "John Josh Jock".

So its piece of cake creating a stored procedure selecting data on the base of an input parameter. Select X from Y where Z = @input... the trick is, I don't know how to do arrays in TSQL as in VB.

In the VB edition I create an array, load the names into it, I do a count on how many row the select returns and then a simple for... next adding the names to the string.

Any good examples on how to do this in a sql-server stored proc?

Thanks,

Trin

P.S. This is what I have pieced together this far:

CREATE PROCEDURE findnames

@number int

AS

DECLARE @instrument varchar(50)
DECLARE @tempinstt varchar(10)

DECLARE medlemcursor CURSOR
FOR
SELECT [MCPS Kode]
FROM DW.dbo.names(NOLOCK)
WHERE number = @number

OPEN medlemcursor

FETCH NEXT FROM medlemcursor INTO @tempinstt
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS <> -1)
BEGIN
SET @instrument = @instrument + @tempinstt + '-'
FETCH NEXT FROM medlemcursor INTO @tempinstt
END

CLOSE medlemcursor
DEALLOCATE medlemcursor

SELECT @instrument
GO

Just doesn't seem to work, returns NULL, even though I've checked that the cursor SELECT statement actually returns data,

MultiRow Select To SingleRow Output?
Here is what I want to do.

I have a customer table with say id, firstname, lastname. I also have another table called phone number that contains multiple phone numbers based on the customer id (id, customerid, phonenumber).

Ok I want to output a record like this

firstname, lastname, phone1, phone2, phone3

I need one record per customer with as many phone numbers as they may have, I could always limit the numbers to 3 or better yet return a null if there are less then the predefined number of phone numbers.

If I try a simple join I get multiline output which is no good for me.

SELECT firstname, lastname, phonenumber
FROM customer, phone
WHERE phone.customerid = customer.id

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.

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

Mapping A String Field To Boolean Output In SELECT Clause
Hello,
I am facing a problem in a SELECT clause which i cannot solve.
In my SQL table ("myTable") i have a few columns ("Column1", "Column2", "TypeColumn"). When I select different columns of the table, instead of getting the value of TypeColumn, i would like to get a boolean indicating whether its value is a certain string or not.
For example, the TypeColumn accepts only a number of selected strings: "AAA", "BBB", "CCC".
when i do a select query on the table, instead of asking for TypeColumn i would like to ask a boolean value of 1 if TypeColumn is "AAA" and 0 if TypeColumn is "BBB" or "CCC". Also, i would like to make this query while I am also fetching the other columns. And i would like to use one query to get all that. I thought something like thsi would work:

SELECT Column1 AS Col1, Column2 AS Col2, IF(TypeColumn = "AAA", 1, 0) AS Col3
FROM myTable

but this doesn't work in SQL 2005!
Is it possible to do something similar in SQL 2005 using one query only? i am trying to avoid multiple queries for this.

thanks a lot for your help!

Dynamic Cursor Versus Forward Only Cursor Gives Poor Performance
Hello,I have a test database with table A containing 10,000 rows and a tableB containing 100,000 rows. Rows in B are "children" of rows in A -each row in A has 10 related rows in B (ie. B has a foreign key to A).Using ODBC I am executing the following loop 10,000 times, expressedbelow in pseudo-code:"select * from A order by a_pk option (fast 1)""fetch from A result set""select * from B where where fk_to_a = 'xxx' order by b_pk option(fast 1)""fetch from B result set" repeated 10 timesIn the above psueod-code 'xxx' is the primary key of the current Arow. NOTE: it is not a mistake that we are repeatedly doing the Aquery and retrieving only the first row.When the queries use fast-forward-only cursors this takes about 2.5minutes. When the queries use dynamic cursors this takes about 1 hour.Does anyone know why the dynamic cursor is killing performance?Because of the SQL Server ODBC driver it is not possible to havenested/multiple fast-forward-only cursors, hence I need to exploreother alternatives.I can only assume that a different query plan is getting constructedfor the dynamic cursor case versus the fast forward only cursor, but Ihave no way of finding out what that query plan is.All help appreciated.Kevin

I have Lookup task to determine if source data should be updated to or insert to the customer table. After Lookup task, the Error Output pipeline will redirect to insert new data to the table and the Output pipeline will update customer table. But these two tasks will be processing at the same time which causes stall on the process. Never end.....

The job is similiart to what Slow Changing Dimention does but it won't update the table at the same time.

What can I do to avoid such situation?
