Is there any way i can use variable inside the identity function like in the above example?.
I am in the middle of taking course 2073B €“ Programming a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Database. I noticed that in Module9: Implementing User-Defined Functions exercise 2, page 25; step 2 is not returning the correct answer.
Select employeeid,name,title,mgremployeeid from dbo.fn_findreports(2)
It returns manager id for both 2 and 5 and I think it should just return the results only for manager id 2. The query results for step 1 is correct but not for step 2.
Somewhere in the code I think it should compare the inemployeeid with the previous inemployeeid, and then add a counter. If the two inemployeeid are not the same then reset the counter. Then maybe add an if statement or a case statement. Can you help with the logic? Thanks!
Here is the code of the function in the book:
/* ** fn_FindReports.sql ** ** This multi-statement table-valued user-defined ** function takes an EmplyeeID number as its parameter ** and provides information about all employees who ** report to that person. */ USE ClassNorthwind GO /* ** As a multi-statement table-valued user-defined ** function it starts with the function name, ** input parameter definition and defines the output ** table. */ CREATE FUNCTION fn_FindReports (@InEmployeeID char(5)) RETURNS @reports TABLE (EmployeeID char(5) PRIMARY KEY, Name nvarchar(40) NOT NULL, Title nvarchar(30), MgrEmployeeID int, processed tinyint default 0) -- Returns a result set that lists all the employees who -- report to a given employee directly or indirectly AS BEGIN DECLARE @RowsAdded int -- Initialize @reports with direct reports of the given employee INSERT @reports SELECT EmployeeID, Name = FirstName + ' ' + LastName, Title, ReportsTo, 0 FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE ReportsTo = @InEmployeeID SET @RowsAdded = @@rowcount -- While new employees were added in the previous iteration WHILE @RowsAdded > 0 BEGIN -- Mark all employee records whose direct reports are going to be -- found in this iteration UPDATE @reports SET processed = 1 WHERE processed = 0
-- Insert employees who report to employees marked 1 INSERT @reports SELECT e.EmployeeID, Name = FirstName + ' ' + LastName , e.Title, e.ReportsTo, 0 FROM employees e, @reports r WHERE e.ReportsTo = r.EmployeeID AND r.processed = 1 SET @RowsAdded = @@rowcount -- Mark all employee records whose direct reports have been -- found in this iteration UPDATE @reports SET processed = 2 WHERE processed = 1 END RETURN -- Provides the value of @reports as the result END GO
I'm trying to have an identity column seed value specified with a local variable value as follows, however it doesn't allow me to do it (Says cannot use a variable name for a seed value). Any ideas or suggestions?
DECLARE @idvalue int
SELECT @idvalue = max(accountid) + 1 FROM account
CREATE TABLE accounttemp (Accountid int IDENTITY(@idvalue,1), name char(10), address char(10))
Hi there, I should prefix this message by saying, I am brand new to SQL so please be gentle
What I am doing seems pretty standard and I'd like some advice on the best way to proceed.
I am simply trying to add some customer information to my database. For this I have set up two tables. One for the Customer name, title, etc and then a related table for the address which is referenced in the previous table by a AddressID.
In the address table the AddressID uses an Identity. So what I'd like to do (which may not be the best way, if so tell me) is write a stored procedure to accept all of the customer information then INSERT a new entry into the Addresses table, then use DBCC to retrieve the current IDENTITY value and then add the remaining customer info into the Customers table using the IDENTITY value retrieved for the AddressID.
Now is that a total bass-ackwards way of doing this?
I'm using a stored procedure to create a table in sql 2000. One of the columns is an identity column. I need to set the seed to a max(number) from a column in another table, this column is not an identity column and can't be changed into one. I've been trying to set the seed by passing a variable. I continue to get errors so either I've got the syntax wrong or it's not possible to set the seed via a variable. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
What I'm trying to do is provide a solution where users can upload an image and a description, to a database, so I'm trying to insert the title and description then return the @@identity for the image upload function which will name the image like this image_23.jpg (23 being the @@identity) resize it and save it to specified directory
I cant seem to get the identity to return to my script. This is my SP
AS Insert Into Tbl_ad (ad_title, ad_description,ad_area,ad_ui_id,ad_active,ad_date,ad_ct_id,ad_sc_id,ad_location) VALUES (@adtitle,@addescription,@areaid, @uid, 0,convert(varchar, GETUTCDATE(), 101), @catid, @subcatid, 1)
select @@identity return GO
I tested in query analyser, and it works fine, so It must be my code. this is my function
Sub Insert_pic(sender as object, e as eventargs)
Dim catid = Request.form("ddcats") Dim subcatid = Request.form("subcatrad") Dim adtitle = Request.Form("txttitle") Dim AdDescription = Request.form("txtdescription") Dim uid = getUID(Context.User.Identity.Name) Dim areaid = Request.form("ddarea") SQLConnect = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.Appsettings("mydB"))
SQLCommander = New SQLCommand("SP_INSERTad", SQLConnect)
In a cursor, I declare a table variable like so: DECLARE @TempTable TABLE(RowID INT IDENTITY, valueID int) I then insert into that table from another table. The purpose is to get a list that looks like this after the insert: RowID valueID1 348972 345223 94822 etc.... However, the next time through my loop (cursor) I want to restart my RowID identity property, because the next batch of valueID's should then again have a RowID starting from 1. I tried delete from @TempTable DBCC CHECKIDENT(@TempTable , RESEED, 0) but I get 'Must declare the variable @TempTable table' error. Is there a way to destroy and recreate that @TempTable variable?
We have SELECT INTO queries that use the IDENTITY function to assign a sequential row number to a result set based upon a sort order. This has been helpful in SQL Server 2000 for median determination. It appears, however, that in SQL Server 2005, the row numbers are not assigned sequentially, or maybe they are assigned before the sort order is applied.
Can anyone verify whether the IDENTITY function has changed behavior between 2000 and 2005? We would prefer not to have to make changes to existing queries. Thank you.
(BTW, the workaround we found so far is to put the initial SELECT...ORDER BY in a subquery, but then we had to include a phrase like TOP 10000000 to pass syntax check. Is there a better way?)
Can someone help me with the following function? I would like to use a table name as a variable.
Thanks in advance!

I have a function that uses a constant value on its calculations. This value is defined on a table. I don't want to query this table everytime I call the function (I call it on a loop from my Java code). Is there anything like a static variable I could use?
I could successfully modify the package level variable using a script component (Control Flow Level) and execute the data flow task after this script component. The OLE DB Command has one parameter for which I'm using one of the user variable. Here's the SQL statement.
SELECT Year_Key, Year_Name, Year_Short_Name, Year_Number, Year_Start_Date, Year_End_Date FROM d_Time_School_Year WHERE (Year_Key = ?)
This works fine. But I want to pass the year_key to a function which accepts a parameter. The SQL should be like this
SELECT Year_Key, Year_Name, Year_Short_Name, Year_Number, Year_Start_Date, Year_End_Date FROM fn_TimeDimension (?)
But SSIS doesn't like this. When I click on parameters command button I get and error like this
"Parameters cannot be extracted from the SQL command. The provider might not help.........
Syntax error, Permission Violation, or the non-specific error(Microsoft SQL native Client)"
Any clue how to utilize the variables in a SQL which gets data from a function instead of a table?
Hi,I have a sql 2005 function who return a distance from 2 zipcodes. This function is called from a Stored procedure like this :SELECT *, dbo.fn_GetDistance (...) AS DistanceIn this function, i have a Latitude and i want this Latitude to be also returned.It is possible or a function can return only one variable?If it is possible, what's the syntax of it?Thanks in advance
I have cursor that loops through a table (the table only contains columnnames of several tables) the cursor has a variable declared @columnname. when i run the following it works fine
now i want to get the min of each column name like so
select @columnname,min(mtr_5120),0,0,0 from temp_prt ------> this works for min(mtr_5120) mtr_5120,34.5,0,0,0
now I want to generalize so I try to pass in the variable name and I do the following
select @columnname,min(@columnname),0,0,0 from temp_prt (the columname (@columnname) exists in the table temp_prt)
but now i get an error Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 29
Error converting data type varchar to decimal.how can i pass the colunmame into the min and max functions or is that at all ppossible. I also tried the following:
select @columnname,'min(' + @columnname + ')',0,0,0 from temp_prt
but i get the same error Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 29 Error converting data type varchar to decimal.
I have not been able to find the answer as to why the LEFT() function doesn't see the variable as being a variable. I originally thought it did not accept a variable as the first parameter, however the definition says it can be a variable. Anyone knows why this isn't working? This is how I have the code:
SELECT LEFT(@tpatdata, CHARINDEX('^', Alert1) -1)
the variable @tpatdata is the column name (tablename.Alert1), iif I rewrite it like this:
SELECT LEFT(tablename.Alert1, CHARINDEX('^', Alert1) -1) it works.
Hello to all, I hope that somebody can help me. I have written a sql query to search Partner. I have a wtcomValidRelationships Table. There are two Fields (IDMember(type: Int) and RelationshipIDs(type: varchar(1000)) in this table. Example: 3418 has 3422 RelationshipID and 3422 has 4088 RelationshipID, if i want to check if there is a relationship between 3418 and 4088. declare @IDM int; declare @IDO char(100); set @IDM = 3418; set @IDO = '4088'; select B.IDMember from wtcomValidRelationships as A, wtcomValidRelationships as B where A.IDMember = @IDM and charindex(cast(B.IDMember as char(100)),A.RelationshipIDS) > 0 and charindex(@IDO,B.RelationshipIDs) > 0 Using this query i get nothing. I try to use constant in charindex and i get result. declare @IDM int; declare @IDO char(100); set @IDM = 3418; set @IDO = '4088'; select B.IDMember from wtcomValidRelationships as A, wtcomValidRelationships as B where A.IDMember = @IDM and charindex('3422',A.RelationshipIDS) > 0 and charindex('4088',B.RelationshipIDs) > 0 So i think that charindex doesn't work with variable. But I must use variable. Can someone help me? What should i do ? Thanks Best Regards Pinsha
Hi all can you help me, I know that I am doing some thing wrong. What I need to do is set a variable to the current date so I can use it in a SQL query to an access database. This is what I have so far <script runat="server""> Sub Page_Load dim --all the variables for my sql connections-- dim ff1 As Date then my sql connection and queries sql="SELECT FullRate, " & ff1 &" FROM table1 WHERE hotelnumber = " & hotel This works is I set ff1 as a string and specify the string (my column headings are set as dates in my table) dim ff1 As string ff1="30/01/2006" but I need ff1 to be the current date and is I use ff1 As date it returns time and date Is there any way to set ff1 to the current date in this format "dd/mm/yyyy"
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_concat_boxes](@item varchar, @week int) RETURNS VARCHAR(100) AS BEGIN

how can I pass the variable @item correctly for the string comparison
Hello, thanks in advance for reading this. I am having difficulty trying to get a statement to work.
There is a MAIN table: ItemNo int identity(1,0), ItemType tinyint
There is a WETPAINT table: ItemNo int, Color varchar(20)
There is a DRYPAINT table: ItemNo int, Color varchar(20)
Now, what I want to do is JOIN the MAIN table to either the WETPAINT table or the DRYPAINT table depending on the value of MAIN.ItemType
So I created a table function called getTable:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[gettable] ( @ItemType int = 1 ) RETURNS @thistable TABLE ( Color varchar(20)
) AS BEGIN if @ItemType = 1 insert into @thistable (color) select color from WETPAINT if @ItemType = 2 insert into @thistable (color) select color from DRYPAINT RETURN END
This is all fine and dandy if I iterate through the MAIN table one row at a time, but how can I JOIN the tables, like:
SELECT MAIN.ItemNo, a.Color FROM MAIN INNER JOIN gettable(Main.ItemNo) as a ON a.ItemNo = MAIN.ItemNo
Obviously, there is more than one field in the DRYPAINT and WETPAINT tables, and there is a need to have both tables instead of combining them into one.
Any help in how to create a table alias by passing a value from the select statement would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again.
PS -- I am trying to create a view with this, so I can't use variables and iterate through the MAIN table one row at a time.
i am encountering a problem in a stored procedure when a pass a variable value into a table-valued function. The table-valued function is named getCurrentDriver and has 1 attribute: car-ID.
The syntax is as follows:
select car.id, car.licenceNumber, car.brand, car.model, (select driverName from getCurrentDriver(car.id)) as driverName from car
When I try to compile I get following error on the line of the function: Incorrect syntax near '.'
The database version is SQL Server 2000 SP3.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a workaround for this error?
Hi, I'm having trouble with this multi-statement table-valued function:
ALTER FUNCTION MakeArDetail ( -- Add the parameters for the function here @dateStart DATETIME, @dateEnd DATETIME ) RETURNS @arDetail TABLE ( Insurer VARCHAR(50), NABP INT DEFAULT 0, Claim MONEY DEFAULT 0, Payment MONEY DEFAULT 0, NumRx CHAR(7), PatientName VARCHAR(50), Paid030 MONEY DEFAULT 0, Paid3160 MONEY DEFAULT 0, Paid6190 MONEY DEFAULT 0, Paid91120 MONEY DEFAULT 0, Paid121 MONEY DEFAULT 0 ) AS BEGIN DECLARE @arTemp TABLE ( Insurer VARCHAR(50), NABP INT DEFAULT 0, Claim MONEY DEFAULT 0, Payment MONEY DEFAULT 0, NumRx CHAR(7), PatientName VARCHAR(50), Paid030 MONEY DEFAULT 0, Paid3160 MONEY DEFAULT 0, Paid6190 MONEY DEFAULT 0, Paid91120 MONEY DEFAULT 0, Paid121 MONEY DEFAULT 0 )
INSERT INTO @arTemp SELECT DISTINCT Insurer,NABP,0,0,NumRx,Patient,0,0,0,0,0 FROM Pims; UPDATE @arTemp SET Claim = (SELECT SUM(Pims.AmtReq) FROM Pims WHERE Pims.Insurer = @arTemp.Insurer AND Pims.NABP = @arTemp.NABP AND Pims.NumRx = @arTemp.NumRx );
INSERT INTO @arDetail SELECT * FROM @arTemp RETURN END GO
I get Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure MakeArDetail, Line 43 Must declare the scalar variable "@arTemp".
I don't understand why SQL thinks @arTemp is a scalar variable which has to be declared. If I don't include the UPDATE command the thing works.
i have a column with mulitple ids stored with commas . i want to pass ids and get data along with name from the table..how to get multiselect value in a variable in sql server functionÂ
I'm trying to create a simple function that will do a count on a table. I want to pass the table name in form of a parameter to the variable and this function will return the count as an int. See my function below...
CREATE FUNCTION count_rows (@tablename varchar(100) RETURNS int AS BEGIN DECLARE @emp_count AS int declare @declaration varchar(100)

A RETURN statement with a return value cannot be used in this context.
I tend to learn from example and am used to powershell. If for instance in powershell I wanted to get-something and store it in a variable I could, then use it again in the same code. In this example of a table order items where there are order_num, quantity and item_prices how could I declare ordertotal as a variable then instead of repeating it again at "having sum", instead use the variable in its place?
Any example of such a use of a variable that still lets me select the order_num, ordertotal and group them etc? I hope to simply replace in the "having section" the agg function with "ordertotal" which bombs out.
select order_num, sum(quantity*item_price) as ordertotal from orderitems group by order_num having sum(quantity*item_price) >=50 order by ordertotal;
I need to create an output from a T-SQL query that picks a numeric variable and uses the print function to output with leading zeroes if it is less than three characters long when converted to string. Â For example if the variable is 12 the output should be 012 and if the variable is 3 the output should be 003.
Presently the syntax I am using is PRINT STR(@CLUSTER,3) .  But if @CLUSTER which is numeric is less than three characters I get spaces in front.
Can someone tell me if it is possible to add an index to a Table variable that is declare as part of a table valued function ? I've tried the following but I can't get it to work.
ALTER FUNCTION dbo.fnSearch_GetJobsByOccurrence ( @param1 int, @param2 int ) RETURNS @Result TABLE (resultcol1 int, resultcol2 int) AS BEGIN
I have a stored produre. Inside this stored procedure I have table variable with one column. Once the table variable is populated with rows, I would like to pass each value in the table, into a table-valued function. The table-valued function may return any number of rows. I would like all the rows the TVF returns to be returned from the stored procedure as a single result set. I would also like to do this without defining a table variable to hold the results of the table-value function.
Code Snippet
declare @IdTable table ( EmployeeId nvarchar( 16 ) not null ) insert into @IdTable select EmployeeNumber from Employees
/* I need to run this query for every EmployeeId value in @IdTable and return the results from the stored proc as a single result set. */ select * from fn_GetEmployeeById( EmployeeId )
In my stored procedure i have a multi-valued varchar(max) parameter and I wrote a table-valued function that takes the varchar(max) and return a table back to the stored procedure where i inserted into a @table. Just wondering is there a better and faster way of doing this?
