Variable Assignment In Cursor Declaration
Hi,
here is the code segment below;
...
DECLARE find_dates CURSOR FOR
SELECT @SQL = 'select DISTINC(Dates) from ['+@name+'].dbo.['+@t_name+'] order by [Dates] ASC'
EXEC (@SQL)
but it gives error, variable assignment is not allowed in a cursor declaration. I need to use dynamic SQL , the only way to access all the dbs and their tables inside. Please help.
thanks

Cursor Declaration Blues
Hi! While working for a client on a SQL Server 6.5 SP5a, I got the following error when running the code below in first SQL Enterprise Manager 6.5 and then SQL Query Analyzer 7.0: IF @Departures = 1 DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT AcType, BackPax = CASE BackPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END, BestPax = CASE BestPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END, DepTime, FlightNumber, ArrStn FROM #TimeCall ORDER BY DepTime, FlightNumber ELSE DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT AcType, BackPax = CASE BackPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END, BestPax = CASE BestPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END, ArrTime, FlightNumber, DepStn FROM #TimeCall ORDER BY ArrTime, FlightNumber And the error I get when the query is run for the first time after switching tool: Server: Msg 202, Level 11, State 2, Procedure CreateFile, Line 178 Internal error -- Unable to open table at query execution time. Server: Msg 202, Level 11, State 1, Procedure CreateFile, Line 188 Internal error -- Unable to open table at query execution time. If I run the query again in one of the tools, it works. It also works if I use WITH RECOMPILE in the stored proc header. If I use the code below, it also works, and without RECOMPILE: DECLARE @SqlStr varchar( 255 ) IF @Departures = 1 SELECT @SqlStr = 'DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR ' + 'FOR SELECT AcType, ' + 'BackPax = CASE BackPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END, ' + 'BestPax = CASE BestPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END, ' + 'DepTime, FlightNumber, ArrStn ' + 'FROM #TimeCall ORDER BY DepTime, FlightNumber' ELSE SELECT @SqlStr = 'DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR ' + 'FOR SELECT AcType, ' + 'BackPax = CASE BackPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END, ' + 'BestPax = CASE BestPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END, ' + 'ArrTime, FlightNumber, DepStn ' + 'FROM #TimeCall ORDER BY ArrTime, FlightNumber' EXECUTE( @SqlStr ) Trying to get around the problem with the following code did not do any good: DECLARE TableCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT AcType, BackPax = CASE BackPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BackPax END, BestPax = CASE BestPax WHEN NULL THEN 0 ELSE BestPax END, CurTime = CASE @Departures WHEN 1 THEN DepTime ELSE ArrTime END, FlightNumber, OtherStation = CASE @Departures WHEN 1 THEN ArrStn ELSE DepStn END FROM #TimeCall ORDER BY CurTime, FlightNumber Server: Msg 202, Level 11, State 2, Procedure CreateFile, Line 176 Internal error -- Unable to open table at query execution time. Anyone have some good ideas on why this happens? Brgds Jonas Hilmersson

Need Help Understanding A Stored Procedure Variable Declaration
I've been curious why some variables don't need to be declared with a value type in a stored procedure. Please see the example below in the bolded area. The stored procedure works fine - nothing is wrong with it, but I just wanted an explanation on why and when is a value type not needed for a variable. CREATE PROCEDURE [DBO].[EmailRpt] ( @TagDest char(2) = NULL, @DateWanted smalldatetime = NULL, @CustName varchar(64) = NULL, @AcctID AcctId = NULL, @ContactPhn phone = NULL, @CustAddr address = NULL, @City city, @CrossSt varchar(50) , @Access varchar(50) = NULL, @Activity tinyint, ) AS DECLARE @String as varchar(2000), @Header as varchar(200), @MailBox as varchar(50), @ActivityName as Name, @Return as int, @UserName as Name

Inline Variable Assignment
I have to write a query for printing multiple barcodes, depending on the quantity of items that came in the store, based on the order number.

Is it even possible to do it without using temp tables and loops?

Parent Package Variable Assignment Issue In Child Package.
We have one main package from which 7 other child packages are called. We are using ParentPackage variables to assign values for variables and database connections. While the values from ParentPackage variable get assigned to some of the packages properly, to others it doesn€™t assign the value.

Using Cursor Variable As A Tablename
I am currently using a cursor to scroll through sysobjects to extract table names and then extracting relevant column names from syscolumns. I then need to run the following script: declare Detail_Cursor cursor for select @colname, max(len(@colname)) from @table The message I receive is "must declare variable @table". Immediately prior to this script I printed out the result of @table which works fine so the variable obviously is declared and populated. Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong or how I can get the same result. Thanks

How To Iterate Through Table Variable Without Using Cursor
Hi, I need a small help. In my stored procedure, i create a table variable and fill it with records based on my query. The ID field within the table is not continous and can have any value in increasing order .e.g. The ID sequence may be like 20, 33, 34, 59, 78, 79... I want to iterate through each record within the table but without using a Cursor. I want to use a loop for this purpose. There are many articles pointing out how to iterate through records in a table variable but that requires the IDs to be continous which is not possible in my case. Can anyone help me solve this problem... Any help is appreciated...

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????

Question About Assigning Cursor Variable Data Types...
Hi, I'm just curious about something...when assigning a datatype to a cursor variable in ORACLE, you can use the keyword TYPE to automatically grap the datatype from the associated column (or use ROWTYPE to create a cursor variable to represent an entire row in a table). It's so much easier and if the datatype of one of the cursor columns is altered, the associated cursor variable assumes the new datatype. Is there a way to do this in SQL Server 7.0 ? many thanks :)

Combing In A Cursor, A Select Statement With The WHERE Clause Stored In A Variable

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.

Dynamic Query, Local Cursor Variable And Global Cursors
Hi all. I am stuck in a bit of a conundrum for quite a while now, and I hope someone here will help me figure this one out. So, first things first: let me explain what I need to do. I am designing a web application that will allow users to consult info available in a SQL2000 database. The user will enter the search criterea, and hopefully the web page will show matching results. The problem is the results shown aren't available per se in the DB, I need to process the data a bit. I decided to do so on the SQL Server side, though the use of cursors. So, when a user defines his search criteria, I run a stored procedure that begins by building a dynamic sql query and creating a cursor for it. I used a global cursor in order to do so. It looked something like this: SET @sqlQuery = ... (build the dinamic sql query) SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE myCursor CURSOR GLOBAL FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery EXEC @cursorQuery OPEN myCursor FETCH NEXT FROM myCursor INTO ... CLOSE myCursor DEALLOCATE myCursor This works fine, if there's only one instance of the stored procedure running at a time. Should another user connect to the site and run a search while someone's at it, it'll fail due to the atempt to create a cursor with the same name. My first thought was to make the cursor name unique, which led me to: ... SET @cursorName = 'myCursor' + @uniqueUserID SET @cursorQuery = 'DECLARE '+ @cursorName + 'CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR ' + @sqlQuery EXEC @cursorQuery ... The problem with this is that I can't do a FETCH NEXT FROM @cursorName since @cursorName is a char variable holding the cursor name, and not a cursor variable. So to enforce this unique name method the only option I have is to keep creating dynamic sql queries and exucting them. And this makes the sp a bitch to develop and maintain, and I'm guessing it doesn't make it very performant. So I moved on to my second idea: local cursor variables. The problem with this is that if I create a local cursor variable by executing a dynamic query, I can't extract it from the EXEC (or sp_executesql) context, as it offers no output variable. I guess my concrete questions are: Is it possible to execute a dynamic sql query and extract a (cursor) variable from it?Is it possible to populate a local cursor variable with a global cursor, by providing the global cursor's name?Can I create a local cursor variable for a dynamic sql query? How? Anybody sees another way arround this?Thanks in advance, Carlos

Need Help With SQL Server Assignment!
Hi everyone. This is my first time here, and I am really in need of some help! I am a senior Information Technology Major and I am in my first SQL course where I have to write a report on a company that uses SQL Server. I haven't been able to find any companies in my area, and need to find a company to write my paper on as soon as possible. I just have a set of brief questions; they are as follows (and I understand, for security reasons, if you are unable to answer certain questions, do not feel obligated to do so!): Basics: A brief overview of your company: What is your position? What the SQL Server database is used for? Implementation: Which version of MS SQL Server is used? Type of instance(s) is(are) used? Which authentication mode is used? Do you utilize SQL Server Dynamic Disk Space Management, and if so, how? How is data security maintained? What type of encryption has been implemented? Maintenance: What type of backups are completed and how often? How would the database would be restored in the event of data loss? How do you preserve data integrity within the database? Do you utilize any monitoring & troubleshooting tools to assess SQL Server performance (SQL Server Profiler, System Monitor, Database Engine Tuning Advisor, etc). I greatly appreciate anyone willing to help me with my paper. Thank you! Lynette

I have 2 sql server 2000 servers runnng sql std edition. One has 8.00.2039 SP4 and one has 8.00.818 SP3. The server with SP4 will not let me use a parameter in the DTS SQL task. I get the infamous Access Violation Error. If I replicate the SQL task on the SP3 server I have no problem works great and life is good. Can anyone tell me if thre is a hotfix for this or something? I've googled this to death and tried various possible fixes with no positive result. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for viewing! :)

Dynamic Database Assignment???
I have an application that is developed to support a customer per database. All the data is unique to that customer and is physically partitioned from other customers. Also, I have a database that has common tables to all customers. I use stored procedures to access all data. I would like to keep from duplicating all the stored procedures (since the meat of them stays the same) because of the database references. Is there any way to use the "USE <database>" functionality in the stored procedures to switch context dynamically without having to reference the unique databases? Thank You, Brian

Dynamic Assignment Of Server On UDL Specification Within DTS
Hi, I am using SQL Server 2000 DTS and for data transforms I use Data Links. So far I have always specified the server name that the UDL file name exists on within the DTS, but I would like to not have to specify the server directly, but use a dynamic assignment. Is there a way to do that? An example is \serverd$folderdata.udl thanks in advance, bharder

Xslt Filters On Xml Output. Cdata-section-elements And Omit-xml-declaration Problems.
Hi All, I'm using some xslt documents to transform the xml output of my Reports but have come across two curiosities where the xslt filter seems to behave unusually. Firstly, I need the final saved file to have an xml declaration, which I believe it should do by default. Even if I put omit-xml-declaration="no" in the xsl:output tag I don't get an xml declaration. At present we have a custom job that writes these declarations back into the xml after SRS has saved it. Secondly and more importantly, I need to have some of my output tags wrapped in CDATA sections. I've tried using the cdata-section-elements attribute, again with no luck. my XSLT looks something like this (simplified for space) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" media-type="text/xml" omit-xml-declaration="no" cdata-section-elements="description"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:for-each select="Report/table1/Detail_Collection/Detail"> <item> <description> <xsl:value-of select="@Description"/> </description> </item> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> The output is something like: <item> <description>My first description text...</description> </item> <item> <description>My seconddescription text...</description> </item> What I want is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <item> <description><![CDATA[My first description text...]]></description> </item> <item> <description><![CDATA[My secondfirst description text...]]></description> </item> All help gratefully appreciated. Thanks - Andrew.

SQL2k5 Port Assignment For Remote Access
I recently installed SQL2k5 Express edition, using many of the defaults in the setup wizard. I then configured Remote Access using TCP. Using SSMS running on a different PC on the LAN I was able to connect without incident using 192.168.0.144SQLExpress. Then I tried to connect with an application originally written for SQL 2000 – it failed. Using Network Monitor I was able to determine that SSMS was connecting on port 1543. I modified my connection string in the SQL 2000 application to use port 1543 & the connection went through. I was able to reproduce this situation with Query Analyzer (192.168.0.144,1543). In neither the SQL application nor Query Analyzer was I able to connect using 192.168.0.144SQLExpress. Since I wanted the connection to use port 1433, I un-installed SQL2k5 & re-installed it. However, this time I chose to use the Default instance of SQL; the setup wizard defaults to installing a named instance (SQLExpress in my case). Rather than creating an instance named SQLExpress, there was no name. When I tried to connect from the other PC I found that port 1433 was working; now SSMS, my application & Query Analyzer all connect with just the IP address. I haven’t found any documentation on this. Does anyone know how to control this, or know of Microsoft documentation? Thanks, BigSam

SQL Server 2000 Requires Explicit Declaration Of Data Types In Client App After Installing A Certain HotFix
I think I may have figured out the solution to my recent conundrum with SQL Server 2000 that had me stressed and depressed over the last couple of days. In a nutshell, after a HotFix was installed on a SQL2K database server I have space on, I was unable to perform INSERT or UPDATE queries on database table of type TEXT, when trying to either create or modify records with more than 4,000 characters of data. While it was frustrating as heck, it seemed too rigid to be random, so I did some snooping. The HotFix was intended to solve a known problem of not being able to run UPDATEs against TEXT fields, but in so doing, caused another headache entirely: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839523 Apparently this is a semi-known problem, in that a certain HotFix forces SQL Server 2000 to be a lot more stringent in requiring explicit declaration of data types and data lengths for parameters in stored procedure. In my client code, I was initially using the overloaded constructor of the SqlParameter object that took as arguments only the parameter name and a value, without specifying a value from the SQLDBType enumeration or length of the parameter (which in my case, needs to be TEXT and 16 (or 2147483647), respectively): System.Data.SqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@parameterName",parameterValue); It appears that after the HotFix is installed, if the client doesn’t syntactically set the type and length of data for a parameter, SQL Server and/or .NET will default to a type of NVARCHAR, which has the 4,000-character limit. This all makes sense. I’m going to now need to modify the code to straight out declare what’s going in the SPROC: System.Data.SqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@parameterName",SqlDbType.Text); System.Data.SqlDataAdapter.InsertCommand.Parameters["@parameterName"].Value = parameterValue; It’s a minor change, and it sucks that I have to make it after the code had worked flawlessly over several thousands executions over several months, but c’est la vie! Better thay than have to rebuild my DB from scratch or switch to a new server. Changing the client code evidently is the only known fix at this time: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b827366
