MS SQL Server :: Combing In A Cursor, A Select Statement With The WHERE Clause Stored In A Variable

Order By Clause In DECLARE CURSOR Select Statement Won't Compile
The stored procedure, below, results in this error when I try to 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?

Thanks in advance

Use A Variable Along With The FROM Clause In SELECT Statement
I have a table 'table_list' which contains two columns, table_name and a record_count. This table stores a list of tables and their corresponding record counts.

What I am trying to do is, to be able to write a select statement, that can read each table name in the 'table_name' column, execute a select count(*) for the same, and update its record_count with the result of select count(*).

This is the code in my procedure..

DECLARE @tab_list CURSOR
set @tab_list = CURSOR FOR select * from table_list
OPEN @tab_list

DECLARE @tab_name varchar(256)
DECLARE @rec_cnt int
FETCH NEXT FROM @tab_list INTO @tab_name, @rec_cnt

select count(*) from @tab_name

This select is looping around along with FETCH till all the table names are exhausted and their counts are updated from the cursor back into the table.

Problem is that, I am not able to use select count(*) from @tab_name, and its not accepting a variable there.

Please help me to construct the select statement that is similiar to

x=<table name>
select * from x
where x is a variable and the table name gets substituted.

what is the syntax for it ?

Cursor Declared With Variable In Where Clause
When I execute next query on sqlserver 6.5 nested in stored procedure I can see that 'open testCursor' selected rows using new value of @var. When I execute query on sqlserver 7.0 I can see that 'open testCursor' selected rows using value of @var before 'declare ... cursor'. Is there any way to force sqlserver 7.0 to proccess cursor like it did it before.

select @var = oldValue

declare testCursor cursor
for select someColumns
from someTable
where someColumn = @var

select @var = newValue

open testCursor

fetch next from testCursor into @someColumns

Thank's in advance.

CURSOR Select Clause
I need to dynamically construct the field order of a cursor based on fixed labels from another table, but when I put that resulting query I receive the error:

Cursorfetch: The number of variables declared in the INTO list must match that of selected columns.

I have 6 fields defined in the cursor select, and 6 parameters in the fetch. The results of running the @sql portion returns valid data. Should this be possible to define a parameter containing the select clause of the cursor?

select colnum, coldesc, colname into #ae_defs from ae_adefs
select @Sql = (select colname from #ae_defs where coldesc = 'PATIENT NAME') +

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????

Adding Variable To SELECT For CURSOR
I'm trying to build a select statement for a CURSOR where part of the SQL statement is built using a variable.
The following fails to parse:

Declare Cursor1 Cursor
For
'select table_name from ' + @database + '.Information_Schema.Tables Where Table_Type = ''Base Table'' order by Table_Name'

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

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 Select Statement Instead Of Cursor

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

IF Statement In SELECT WHERE Clause
Hi Everyone,

I have the following stored procedure, I would like to use
IF statement or something of the sort in the where clause i.e.

So can I do something like this:

IF @categoryID <> 12
AND (category.categoryID = @categoryID)

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!

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?

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)

declare @Count as int
declare @x as int
declare @wLName as 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

    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?

Select Statement Using Multi-list Box Values For WHERE IN SQL Clause

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

Variable In A Select Statement
Is there anyway to use a variable to define a column in a select statement. I can put the variable in but I'm sure it will be read as a literal instead of the column.

select @column_name from table

SQL Select Statement With A 'string' Variable?
I'm trying to add a 'change password' control to my site and seem to be having some issues. I have code that works if I statically define what user is displayed on the form, but I cant get it to detect the 'authenticated' user and show them the reset for for that ID.If I take the "+ myid" out of the select statement and just define the username statically the form works properly. Error:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The column prefix
'System.Security.Principal' does not match with a table name or alias name used
in the query. Here's a piece of the code that is supposed to detect the current logged in user. However, it gives the error. (some of the code may be redundant but its not causing issues that I can tell) public void InitPage() { IPrincipal p = HttpContext.Current.User; String myid = HttpContext.Current.User.ToString(); SqlServer sqlServer = new SqlServer(Util.SqlConnectionString()); DataTable dt; SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myconnection"].ConnectionString); SqlDataAdapter cmd1 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from USER WHERE USER_NAME = "+ myid, cnn); DataTable UIDtable = new DataTable(); cmd1.Fill(UIDtable); User_Id.Value = UIDtable.Rows[0]["ID"].ToString(); dt = sqlServer.USER_SELECT(Util.SiteURL(Request.QueryString["Pg"].ToString()), User_Id.Value);

Variable For The Table Name In A SELECT Statement.
Hi,I'm trying to dynamically assign the table name for a SELECT statement but can't get it to work. Given below is my code: SET ANSI_NULLS ON

DECLARE @ProjectNumber int
SET @ProjectNumber = 'ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.','')
SELECT MAX(@ProjectNumber)
FROM 'tbl_ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.','');
END TRANSACTION Basically, I have a bunch of tables which were created dynamically using the code from this post and now I need to access the last row in a table that matches the supplied DeptCode. This is the error I get:Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure GetLastProjectNumber, Line 29Incorrect syntax near 'tbl_ProjectNumber'. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

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

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.

Unable To Create Variable Select Statement In For Each Loop
What I'm trying to do is this;

I have a table with Year , Account and Amount as fields. I want to

SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amt

FROM GLTable

WHERE Year <= varYear

varYear being a variable which is each year from a query

SELECT Distinct Year FROM GLTable

My thought was that I would need to pass a variable into a select statement which then would be used as the source in my Data Flow Task.

What I have done is to defined two variables as follows

Name: varYear (this will hold the year)

Scope: Package

Data type: String

Name:vSQL (This will hold a SQL statement using the varYear)

Scope: Package

Data type: String

Value: "SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amount FROM GLTable WHERE Year <=" + @[User::varYear]

I've created a SQL Task as follows

Result set: Full Result Set

Connection Type: OLE DB

SQL Statement: SELECT DISTINCT Year FROM GLTable

Result Name: 0

Variable Name: User::varYear

Next I created a For Each Loop container with the following parameters

Enumerator: Foreach ADO Enumerator

ADO Object source Variable: User::varYear

Enumeration Mode: Rows in First Table

I then created a Data Flow Task in the Foreach Loop Container and as the source used OLE DB Source as follows

Data Access Mode: SQL Command from Variable

Variable Name: User::varYear

However this returns a couple of errors "Statement(s) could not be prepared."

and "Incorrect syntax near '='.".

I'm not sure what is wrong or if this is the right way to accomplish what I am trying to do. I got this from another thread "Passing Variables" started 15 Nov 2005.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Regards,

Bill

Random Selection From Table Variable In Subquery As A Column In Select Statement
Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?

SET NOCOUNT ON

Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int
Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000

Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)

Set @Counter = 0

while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount
begin
Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter)
set @Counter = @Counter + 1
end

Insert into @Type(Name)
Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: GMC'

Insert into @Source(Name)
Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: USA'

Insert into @Users(Name)
Select 'keith' UNION ALL
Select 'kevin' UNION ALL
Select 'chris' UNION ALL
Select 'chad' UNION ALL
Select 'brian'

select
1 ProviderId, -- static value
'' Identifier,
'' ClassificationCode,
(select TOP 1 Name from @Source order by newid()) Source,
(select TOP 1 Name from @Type order by newid()) Type

Can't TABLE Variable Be Used In EXEC Statement In Stored Procedure
Hi

I've used a temporary table in the stored procedure

I've created it as DECLARE @Temp TABLE (id INT)

in select clause I've used this temp table through the joins..

But I've also used a varchar variable to store my criteria...

which I'm building in the stored procedure

so inorder to use it in the where clause I used

EXEC ('SELECT ....................

FROM @Temp T

LEFT OUTER JOIN ...
LEFT OUTER JOIN ...
WHERE ' + @Criteria )

Unfortunately this is not working.
Giving the errror

Must declare the variable '@TempT'.

I had to use Temporary table using #, which I feel is really waste of memory...

Is there a way by which I can use my Table variable in the EXEC statement.

Thanks In advance
