Using Stuff To Return A String Of Values From A Column Without A Cursor


I think it was Pat Phelan who posted a little trick here where he used the STUFF function to create a string fo values from a column without using a cursor.

I am starting a brand new project and I did my table design and I am awaiting a finalized requirements document to start coding and I thought I would spend a little time writing some code to autogenerate some generic one record at a time SELECT, INSERT,UPDATE and DELETE stored procedures. With the coming holiday things are getting quiet around here.

The code that is not working is listed below. It does not work. It returns Null. I suck.

DECLARE @column_names varchar(8000)

SET @column_names = ''

SELECT @column_names = STUFF(@column_names,LEN(@column_names),0,C.COLUMN_ NAME + ', ')
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'MyTable'

SELECT @column_names

little help?

How Can I Pass A String Parameter More Than 4000 Characters Into Execute() And Return Result For FETCH And Cursor?
Dear All
 
I have no idea to write a store procedure or only query to pass a string parameter more than 4000 characters into execute() and return result for FETCH and Cursor.

Why i use @qstring? It is because the query will be changed by different critiera.

Possible To Return A String Of Table Values?
This is a portion of my stored procedure in T-SQL

CREATE PROCEDURE GetPoll
(
@PollID INT,
@PollQuestion VARCHAR(1000) Output,
@PollOptions VARCHAR(1000) Output,
@PollPercentages DECIMAL Output
)

AS

SELECT @PollQuestion = (SELECT PollQuestion FROM Polls WHERE PollID = @PollID)

SELECT @PollOptions = (SELECT [Option] FROM PollOPtions WHERE PollID = @PollID)


*SELECT @PollPercentages = (SELECT [Option], COUNT([Option]) As Num_Votes FROM Votes WHERE PollID = 1 GROUP BY [Option])


The final part(*) of this SQL will return more than one value, so is it possible for me to return all that information in one varaible with one SELECT query?? Or would I need to use a loop and query a value at a time, and store it into a delimited string?

thx in advance...

Choosing Between Two Column Values To Return As Single Column Value

Return Only Numeric Characters From A String Column
I have written this query to return only numeric characters from a string.
 
select *
from TableA
where isNumeric(Column_A) = 1
 
But I have discovered that the following
 
SELECT IsNumeric('-')
SELECT IsNumeric('£')
SELECT IsNumeric('$')
SELECT IsNumeric('+')
 
all return a value of 1. I do not want these in my result set.
 
If I use Column_A NOT LIKE '%[a-z]%' and Column_A <> '' I get characters such as "", ----- etc in my result set.
 
I would like a simple way of only returning numbers in my resultset.
 
Thanks for looking at this.

Return Column Names Where Values Were Not Found [stored Procedure]
I need to check whether procedure found any matches or not. If not it has to return the column name where matching value was not found. For example, if there was no record found in the table "Addresses" column "customer" with the value @username, it should return "street". If id with value @prod_id was not found in the table "Products", the "productname" must be returned as well.

CREATE PROC sp_test
@id INT,
@username VARCHAR(50),
@prod_id INT
AS

SELECT name FROM Customers WHERE id=@id
SELECT street FROM Addresses WHERE customer=@username
SELECT productname FROM Products WHERE id=@prod_id


It is kind of check, which has to find out if users have inserted all the necessary values or not.
Thanks for any advice.

Save Me From A CURSOR. Flag Values That Won't Convert.
Hey all:
 
Right now I have a cursor that makes me want to puke.  This is the last cursor in my current project and I want to replace it with a much faster set based operation.
 
Here is the problem.  I have a table with say 1-3 million records.  There are fields that get loaded in with date information.  These fields are varchar because the date information could very well be mangled data that needs to be reviewed by a user.  What I need is to go through these varchar fields and flag the values that cannot convert to smalldatetime.
 
I have another table that houses the primary key and the field of the record that cannot convert.
 
Essentially, I have a series of filters that run and flag using set based stored procedures.  If there is a record that gets through that contains a value that cannot be converted, I have a cursor that steps through the data and attempts to convert the value.  If it is able to be converted, then it continues on until it finds the value that is holding up the conversion.
 
I guess if I can run a query that will return all records that can convert for the field (or can't convert)  I'd be all set.  Any help here is appreciated.
 
--Thanks--

_RecordsetPtr pRs = pCmd->Execute(NULL, NULL, adCmdStoredProc);

// Stored proc

Multiple Return Values
I have a situation where I need two values (both are integers) returned from a stored procedure. (SQL 2000)

Right now, I use the statement "return @@Identity" for a single value, but there is another variable assigned in the procedure, @NewCounselingRecordID that I need to pass back to the calling class method.

I was thinking of concatenating the two values as a string and parsing them out after they are passed back to the calling method. It would look something like "21:17", with the colon character acting as a delimiter.

However, I feel this solution is kludgy. Is there a more correct way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Catching Return Values Of A SP
I have calling a stored procedure that returns two values, and I want to catch these values and to store them into a variable.


Here is a piece of my SP inside SQL Server that shows the returned values:

…
SELECT @Id = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
SELECT @Id AS user_id
SELECT 1 AS Value
END
GO



In my aspx page I am trying to call the first value like this:

Dim nID
CmdInsert.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@RETURN_VALUE", SqlDbType.bigint, 8, "user_id"))
CmdInsert.Parameters("@RETURN_VALUE").Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
CmdInsert.Parameters("@RETURN_VALUE").Value = nID


And to check if the right value is returned I use:

strConnection.open()
cmdInsert.ExecuteNonQuery
'Set the value of a textbox
ident.text = nID
strConnection.close()



But now no value appears in the textbox, How can I achieve it? What is wrong?

Select Does Not Return Values
I am new to SQL and I am trouble-shooting a problem with a home-grown app someone else wrote using PERL. It has a web interface with names of boards. I found the program where i need to add the board names into and did that. The new board names show up in the drop-down list in the Web page for the app. Alerts are sent to the new board names and show up on the new boards. Users are granted access to the new boards and they can clear items off the new boards. Yet when i try to use a report function for the new boards i added, nothing is returned. I even ran a simple SQl select statement specifying the new board names and nothing is returned. The older board names, some of which i added myself, return values. I don't know what is going on.

Return Values Like Other Values
Hi,

I have two tables. Both tables have a FirstName and a LastName field. I can return the results where (LastName = LastName) and (FirstName = FirstName). However in one table some of the FirstName values are shortened ie Pat is P etc.
Is there some way (its prob using LIKE but i can't get it right) I can write the below query so that it returns values where the first letter of FirstName in one table equals the first letter of FirstName in the second table.


SELECT tbl2.FirstName, tbl2.LastName, SALARY.[Employee No]
FROM SALARY INNER JOIN tbl1 ON (SALARY.LastName = tbl2.LastName) AND (SALARY.FirstName = tbl2.FirstName)

SELECT TOP 1 @Var1, @Var2, @Var3 from X
The parameters @Var1, @Var2 and @Var3 are passed to the stored procedure in which the above query is included.
When table is empty, it reurn nothing. It only return a row when table is not empty.

Please Help... Stored PRocedure Return Values
Hi,
I am trying to get the combination of results in my stored procedure, I am not getting what I need. Following are the things which I need to return from my stored proc.
1. I need to select distinct categories and their record count
2. I also need to select the records from the table.
3. Need to send both category, record counts and records.
First is it possible in stored procedure?
Following is helpful information.

Data in tables looks like this.
prod id, prod_name, prod_category
1, T shirts, Mens Apparel
2 , Shirts, Mens Apparel
3 , Pants , Mens Apparel
4, Tops , Women Wear
5, Bangles, Women Wear

And in User Interface I need to show like this.

Mens Apparel (3)
1 T Shirts
2 Shirts
3 Pants

Women Wear (2)
4 Tops
5 Bangles

Please help me if there is any way to return the complete data structure using stored procedure. If I do something in java code, I can get this, but I am trying to get directly from stored procedure only.

Thanks in advance...

Return And Assigning Values In Functions
Hi ,

I will need some examples in assigning and getting values using SQLServer 2005. For eg. How can I store the value that I retrieved in a variable and return that value ? How can I use a function inside a stored procedure ? Do we have any examples  or some simple sample code just to take a look ?

For eg I have written the following function which I called from a stored procedure.
BEGIN
    --Declare the return variable here
    DECLARE @Rows NUMERIC(10)
    DECLARE @RETURN_ENABLED VARCHAR(1)
    -- Add the T-SQL statements to compute the return value here

     SELECT @Rows = MAX(PROFILE_INDEX) FROM PROFILE_PERMISSION PP
        INNER JOIN sys_menu_item ON PP.MENU_ITEM=sys_menu_item.menu_item
   WHERE PP.PROFILE_INDEX in (select up.profile_index from user_profile up where up.user_id= @is_user) and
         not exists (select up.profile_index from user_profile up where up.user_id= @is_user and up.profile_index=1) and
         PP.APPLICATION_CODE = @is_appl AND
         PP.MENU_NAME=@menu_name
    Group By Profile_INdex
   
    IF @Rows > 0
        SELECT @RETURN_ENABLED = 'N'
    ELSE
        SELECT @RETURN_ENABLED = 'Y';
   

    -- Return the result of the function
    RETURN @RETURN_ENABLED;

END

Is it correct ? The variable @ROWS will be assigned with the values that the sql statement will return ?

From the stored procedure I'm calling the function inside a CTE.

;WITH GetHierarchy (item_text ,orden , read_order,  item_parent , menu_item , enabled)
    AS
    (--Anchor.
        select tb1.item_text, tb1.orden, tb1.read_order, tb1.item_parent , tb1.menu_item ,
        dbo.f_sty_print_menu_per_role_per_app2(@menu_name , @is_user , @is_appl) as enabled
        From sys_menu_item as tb1
        where tb1.MENU_ITEM not in ('m_window','m_help','m_toolbar') and tb1.item_parent not in ('m_toolbar','m_window','m_help')
            And tb1.item_parent= @menu_name
    --Members
        UNION ALL
        select tb2.item_text, tb2.orden, tb2.read_order,  tb2.item_parent , tb2.menu_item ,
        dbo.f_sty_print_menu_per_role_per_app2(@menu_name , @is_user , @is_appl) as enabled
           from sys_menu_item as tb2 , GetHierarchy
        where  tb2.MENU_ITEM not in ('m_window','m_help','m_toolbar') and tb2.item_parent not in ('m_toolbar','m_window','m_help')
        And tb2.item_parent = GetHierarchy.menu_item and tb2.menu_name = @menu_name    
    )
    select Space(5*(orden)) + item_text as menui, orden, read_order, item_parent , menu_item ,enabled
    From GetHierarchy

Am I doing it correctly ?

I would appreciated any help you could give me.

Thank you

Help With A Join To Return Unique Values
Hi All,

I need a bit of help with a join. I have 2 tables :

TradeSummary
has fields : SymbolID, CurrentPrice, TotalValue

Trades
has fields : SymbolID, TradeID, ExecutionTime, TradeValue

TradeSummary has one entry for each SymbolID, while Trades contains one or more entries per SymbolID


and what I want to retreive is :


For every item in TradeSummary get CurrentPrice, TotalValue from TradeSummary
and also get TradeValue from Trades for the record for max(ExecutionTime)
tables are joined on TradeSummary.SymbolID = Trades.SymbolID

Every attempt of mine so far returns multiple rows for each SymbolID - I want only one row per SymbolID

thanks in advance

Function With Expression To Return Values
I have created a function to return values, which works fine, but I can't do calculations in it.

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[tf_Asset_Portfolio](@deal_id int,
@as_of_date datetime)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN ( SELECT DISTINCT dbo.Assets.issue_id, SUM(DISTINCT dbo.Assets.par_amount) AS par_amount, SUM(DISTINCT dbo.Assets.par_amount) AS market_value
FROM dbo.Issue INNER JOIN
dbo.Assets ON dbo.Issue.issue_id = dbo.Assets.issue_id INNER JOIN
dbo.Issuer_Rating_History ON dbo.Issue.issuer_id = dbo.Issuer_Rating_History.issuer_id
WHERE (dbo.Issuer_Rating_History.as_of_date <= @as_of_date)
GROUP BY ALL dbo.Assets.issue_id, dbo.Assets.deal_id, dbo.Issue.default_date
HAVING (dbo.Assets.deal_id = @deal_id) )

I need to do calculations on market value based on the default date.
If default date isn't specified then it should be 100% of par amount.
If default date is less than one year ago - 65% of the par_amount.
If default date is one or more years ago - 0.
I have no idea about how to do this and everything I try wont work.
I created another function to do the calculations and this seems to work, but it only does one record instead of all of them.

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.tf_Asset_Portfolio2
(@deal_id int,
@as_of_date datetime)
RETURNS @Market TABLE
(issue_id int, par_amount money, market_value money)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ReturnDate datetime
DECLARE @DD datetime
DECLARE @PA money
DECLARE @MV money
DECLARE @ID int
DECLARE @DateD int

SELECT TOP 1
@ReturnDate = LAST_BATCH
FROM master..sysprocesses
WHERE SPId = @@SPID

SELECT @ID = issue_id FROM Assets WHERE Assets.deal_id = @deal_id
SELECT @PA = SUM(DISTINCT par_amount) FROM Assets WHERE Assets.issue_id = @ID AND Assets.deal_id = @deal_id
SELECT @DD = default_date FROM Issue WHERE Issue.issue_id = @ID

SET @DateD = DateDiff("yyyy", @DD, @ReturnDate)

If @DD = Null
BEGIN
SET @MV = @PA
END
Else If @DD > @ReturnDate
BEGIN
SET @MV = @PA
END
Else If @DateD < 1
BEGIN
SET @MV = @PA * .65
END
Else If @DateD >= 1
BEGIN
SET @MV = 0
END

insert into @Market
(issue_id, par_amount, market_value)
values
(@ID,@PA,@MV)

RETURN
END

I need to combine the functionality of being able to return mutliple records that isn't in the 2nd function and being able to calculate the market value which isn't in the first one. Please help. Thank you in advance.
