I am writing a (very simple) stored procedure that counts records on a table. The stored proc is as follows:
------------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE GetRecordCount
@TableName varchar(30),
@NumRecs int OUTPUT
AS
DECLARE @sqlcmd varchar(250)
SET @sqlcmd = 'SELECT @NumRecs = COUNT(email)
FROM ' + @TableName + 'WHERE Include = "Y"'
EXEC (@sqlcmd)
------------------------------------------
The intention is to return variable @NumRecs. I am calling the routine from Query Analyzer as follows:
When I execute the above line, I get an error message:
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 0
Must declare the variable '@NumRecs'.
If I replace the "SET @sqlcmd = .." AND "EXEC(.." with:
SELECT SELECT @NumRecs = COUNT(email)
FROM MyTable etc.
i.e. without passing the table name, the process works fine. How can I construct an sql command using a parameter?
In my front end, I have a procedure in which the operator selects multiple tickets. I have in mind to create a stored procedure which accepts its input parameter and plugs it into an IN() clause in an Update statement, something along these lines:
Update TicketInventory Set SalesID = 12345 Where TicketInventoryID IN( myInputParam );
Can I pass an array of Integers into a stored proc and have it work like this? Alternatively, I could pass a comma-delimited string containing the Integers. Could I plug that into the IN()? Or is there is yet another way to accomplish this?
hii I have a problem in when i pass xml as input to stored procedure. The problem i m facing is that : Say i have a table which has id as primary key in it.Now in my sp i want to delete some rows from that table and in xml i am passin more than 1 id ( it can be four even). But before deleteion i want to check that delete the with that ID iff the ID exists else raise error for the id w/c does not exist like 'This Id does not exist.' what i want is to loop between the id's which are being passed as i/p to sp.. and delete the row if it exists elso diaplsy message this id does not exist.. somewhat like this

I'm in sql server mgmt 2005 and i highlighted a stored proc and clicked on "execute". I need to pass a null value in as the first param value to test this stored proc. what is the syntax, is below correct?
I am trying to test a stored proc and I can't execute the stored proc when I use a Guid. Has anyboyd had the same problem. I right click in VS 2008 on the Stored proc click Execute and fill in the variables one of them is a Guid and no records are returned.
Here is my guid, I have tried '{0a5c25fa-3aac-4abc-8d07-6d76ab46c9b2}', {0a5c25fa-3aac-4abc-8d07-6d76ab46c9b2} and "0a5c25fa-3aac-4abc-8d07-6d76ab46c9b2" no success. This stored proc might not work but I have had the same issue with other stored procs when I wanted to test them by using execute and using a Guid.
Testing with an int works fine when I try to Select the records by UserID which is a Guid no cigar. I have notice this behavier before is there a way around this problem, thanks newbie
I have a multiselect checkbox list in my UI. I pass the list items to my stored proc as comma separated parameter and then I have a function which converts this parameter to a table with separate rows.
E.g. : a,b,c,d
Converted to result table
result a b c d
I want to insert each row of the result table into another table. How to do that.
E.g., the table after the function is :
CREATE TABLE #result ( Subject varchar(100) )
insert into #result values ('a') insert into #result values ('b') insert into #result values ('c') insert into #result values ('d')
Can a table be passed as parameter to a T-SQL procedure or function?One can define a temporary table within a procedure, and the system then manages its lifetime, keeps it separate from other instances executing the same procedure, etc: - CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.name (@Parameter1, @Parameter2) AS BEGIN DECLARE @name TABLE (column list) etcPerfect: but I need to be able to have another [recursive] procedure process this table. How do I make it available to the second procedure? If I write EXEC procedure @Namean error message "Must declare the variable '@Name'" is produced. Within the 2nd procedure, an attempt to name a table within the parameter list results in another error message, "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'TABLE'". If I can't pass it as argument/parameter, then how do you process a temporary table in another procedure? Do I pass a cursor to it? Or is it quite impossible?Regards, Robert Barnes.
Hi Friends, Is it possible to pass the name of table to the User Defined Function in SQL and use it inside the function. Any help would be appreciated. Fazal.
I have several tables which are all identical in columns and datatypes. I want to create a function which does some calculations on this tables.
Since I just want to create one function I Need to specify the table on which the function should work on. That means i want to pass the table Name as a Parameter to the function.
How do I pass back only one value, such as TotalJobPrice from the tblJobRecords when I know which JobID to Select. All I want is the TotalJobPrice returned from the UDF, not a record from the table. I can write a UDF that will return a table, but I don't know how to get the one field of data from that table of one row that can be returned from a UDF that returns a table. I want to be able to write something like this: @TotalJobPrice = fnTotalJobPrice(@JobID) Hope that is clear. Thanks in advance,
Hi Friends,Is it possible to pass a table as a parameter to a funtion.whos function declaration would look some thing like this....ALTER FUNCTION TempFunction (@TempTable TABLE, @nPId INT)my problem is: i have to access a temporary table created in an SP ina functionALTER PROCEDURE MySPBEGIN....DECLARE @TmpTable TABLE(...)....TempFunction(@TmpTable)....ENDThanksArunDhaJ
execute sp_executesql @strQuery statement in my SP. and My is @strQuery = "Insert into @tmp_tbl select ...". I have created @tmp_tbl using "
DECLARE @tmp_tbl TABLE(rownum ...... ".
its giving me error "
Must declare the table variable "@tmp_tbl". while executing : execute sp_executesql @strQuery statement.
How to pass that table variable with executesql ?? As i understand, i created table @tmp_tbl in my SP and trying to access it inside system SP sp_executesql . so its not working.
Is there a way to pass table variable as parameter to sp_executesql ??
I am trying to execute an SQL task in a ForEach container that is the table name for a select statment I want to execute (table name is passed from a rowset created before the ForEach container).
ForEach Container is looping correctly (I've used a watch to make sure each of the table names in the previous rowset are being passed correctly). I want to use the table name to execute the following query:
Select count(*) as TableRowCount from MyLinkedServer...?
(with ? as the table name)
Problem I am having is that the SQL Task Editor keeps placing a space between the last period and the parameter and then telling me it cannot parse the SQL.
I tried:
Declare @SQL varchar(255)
Set @SQL = 'Select count(*) as TableRowCount from MyLinkedServer...' + ?
Exec(@SQL)
Same error as above. My parameter is varTableName
If I used the Declare and hardcode the table name (i.e. MyLinkedServer...MyTable), and it works fine. Just doesn't seem to want to allow the table name as a parameter...
Thoughts, ideas??? Am very new to SQL 2005 but did the above with DTS... Thank you for any assistance...
We already used Oracle Datasatage Server the following Query statement for Source and Lookup.here there is parameter maping in the SQl Statement . How can achive in SSIS the Folowing Querystatment?

please anyone give the sample control flow and how to pass the parameter?
Hi all,Seems like a fundamental question to me but I dont have a definiteanswer for it, Gurus please enlighten me.I have a table 'Table1' whose structure changes dynamically based onsome configuration values from another table. This table is being usedby a program, It was initially used by this program which ran as asingle task (executing at only a specific interval) but now the programhas to be run mutiple times some coinciding with each othe - whichmeant that table structure will change as 2 programs are runningsimultaneously... and therefore I have decided to use seperate tablenames that each has a structure of its now.I use this table name 'Table1' in about 10-15 stored procedures andUDF'sto make the long story short: Since I will not know which table I willbe using in the program I want to pass the table name as an argument tothe SP and UDF's and then access this param in the'select's/updates/inserts' - but this doesn't work unless I use DynamicSQL.Is there any other way of passing table names as parameters and thenusing then in the procs?any ideas will be really helpful.adi
I am using SQL2005 and would like to know if it is possible to pass a table name as an input parameter in a stored procedure?? I am struggling to get it to work.
For example:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.StartBlock
@TableName varchar(30),
@minX float OUTPUT,
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SET @minX = (SELECT min(X) as mX
FROM @TableName);
END
GO
The above does not work and give the following error
Hey folks, the question is fairly simple, unfortunately the answer has proven rather elusive.
Is it possible to declare a variable which would then be used to identify either a column or table in an SQL statement?
Here's a basic idea of what I'd like to do:
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT * FROM @myVar
or
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT @myVar FROM MyTable
I'm probably looking for some sort of built in function that will accept an argument here... like COLUMN(@myVar) or something of the like. I just don't know where to look...
Dear Techies,I making one stored procedure, which does some operation based on aninterface hash (#) table ---- name #mydata.This stored has two section of code (seperated by parameter value 0and 1)But hash table #mydata (same name) number/name of columns changes asper call 0 or 1.e.g.when call for 0, ----> Pass 2 columns as company_cd and section_cd ininterface hash (#) table ---- name #mydata.when call for 1, ----> Pass 3 columns as Section_cd, line_cd andsubline_cd in interface hash (#) table ---- name #mydata.As a result, none of the case (0 or 1) is running properly, It givesproblem.When I execute procedure for 0 by passing #mydata with two columns---> it gives problem in 1 section codeAnd When I execute procedure for 1 by passing #mydata with threecolumns ---> it gives problem in 0 section codePlease suggest !!! If anybody have faced the same problem or have anyidea about this case.(I think passing hash table with 3 column as col1,col2,col3 can servethe purpose, but this may cause rework in my case, so looking foralternate solution)Thanks in Advance,T.S.Negi
I need to create a Stored Procedure in SQL server which passes 6 input parameters Eg:
ALTER procedure [dbo].[sp_extract_Missing_Price] @DisplayStart datetime, @yearStart datetime, @quarterStart datetime, @monthStart datetime, @index int as
Once I declare the attributes I need to create a Temp table and update the data in it. Creating temp table
Once I have created the Temp table following query I need to run
SELECT date FROM #tempTable WHERE #temp.date NOT IN (SELECT date FROM mytable WHERE mytable.date IN (list-of-input-attributes) and index = @index)
The above query might return null result or a date .
In case null return output as "DataNotMissing" In case not null return date and string as "Datamissing"
I have a temporary table with multiple records and a Stored Procedure requiring a value. In a Stored Procedure, I want to loop through records in the table and use the value from each record read as input to another Stored Procedure. How do I do this?
I need to switch two int values in my table, but I have no clue how to do it. If I switch the 6 to a 5, then I can't distinguish between the 5 that's supposed to be a 5 and the 5 that needs to be a 6. Any help is greatly appreciated - thanks in advance!
Need some suggestions on what to check or look for.My stored proc is not finding the table in the sql db. This is the error...Invalid object name 'tblServRec'I use the same function to pass in an arraylist and the sp name for another sp and that one works ok.The sp is the same as another one except for the table name and that one works ok.The sp works fine on my local machine. It finds the table ok. But when I try it on the server, it doesn't work.I have checked permissions, and they are the same for all tables, even the one that the other sp works ok on the server.Here is the sp if that will help.....CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.deleteServRec @fldNum INT ASBEGIN DECLARE @errCode INT DELETE FROM tblServRec WHERE fldNum = @fldNum SET @errCode = 0 RETURN @errCode HANDLE_APPERR: SET @errCode = 1 RETURN @errCodeENDGOThanks all,Zath
I take the information below in query analyzer and everything runs fine-returns 48 rows. I try to run it as a stored proc and I get no records. If I put a simple select statement into the stored proc, it runs, so it's not permissions. Can anyone help me with why this won't execute as a stored procedure? Articles seem to indicate you can do this with temp tables in a stored procedure. Thanks

Recently someone told me that I could use a Parameter in a Stored Proc as a text placeholder in the SQL Statement. I needed to update a table by looping thru a set of source tables. I thought NOW IS MY TIME to try using a parameter as a table name. Check the following Stored Proc
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Update] @DistributorID int, @TableName varchar(50) AS UPDATE C SET C.UnitCost = T.[Price] FROM (tbl_Catalog C INNER JOIN @TableName T ON C.Code = T.Code) GO
NEEDLESS TO SAY this didn't work. In reviewing my references this seems to be a no no.
Is it possible to use a parameter as a table name? OR is there another way to do this?
We have modified a column name for a table. Now we need to find out all the database objects (stored procedures, functions, views) which access this table so that we can modify them. This is a very big database and its not easy to open the code for each object and check if its access that table. To add to the complexity, its not just one table and column but a number of tables have been modified.
I am looking to populate a Schedule table with information from twoother tables. I am able to populate it row by row, but I have createdtables that should provide all necessary information for me to beableto automatically populate a "generic" schedule for a few weeks ormoreat a time.The schedule table contains:(pk) schedule_id, start_datetime, end_datetime, shift_employee,shift_positionA DaysOff table contains:(pk) emp_id, dayoff_1, dayoff_2 <-- the days off are entered in dayofweek (1-7) formA CalendarDays table contains:(pk) date, calendar_dow <-- dow contains the day of week number (asabove) for each day until 2010.My main question is how to put all of this information together andhave SQL populate the rows with data based on days off, for a fewweeks in advance. Anysuggestions?
