Cursor On A Temp Table

May 18, 2007

Hi all,

I have a task of rewriting all the old procs which were build on cursors, the management does want me to remove the cursor completely since that would mean rewriting everthing.. they want to use a temp table and run a cursor on the temp table. Since there are many cursors in each proc. Any suggestions on to go about it. I am against the use of cursor any everywhere in it , even if it calls for rewriting the whole db again.
I did some tests on running the old proc and the semi new proc , which runs a cursor from the temp table for the cursor query. And it even bad than the cursor only. what does this mean? Is it really a very bad idea to run cursor on a temp table?

Necessity is the mother of all inventions!

Cursor Or Temp Table

Aug 2, 2006

Hi Chaps,

I want to write a stored procedure in which I will update the all calendar week values (stored in a table). And to achieve this I will have to loop through all the records present in calendar table.

I am just wondering that should I use Cursor or TEMP table (caz of performance issues)?

As it will be part of data warehouse so all the processing will be carried out at SERVER ( means no client)

Can any one tell me that which would be the best solution ( Cursor or Temp table) in my case and WHY?

Note: I am using SQL Server 2005 standard edition

waiting for quick reply.



regards,

Anas

Need To Find An Easy Way To Split A Column In Table Without Using Cursor Or Temp Tables

Sep 5, 2007

Hi ,
I have two tables within a SQL database. The 1st table has an identified column and column which lists one of more email identifers for a second table,
e.g.
ID Email
-- ----------
1 AS1 AS11
2 AS2 AS3 AS4 AS5
3 AS6 AS7

The second table has a column which has an email identifier and another column which lists one email address for that particular identifier, e.g.
ID EmailAddress
--- ------------------
AS1 abcstu@emc.com
AS2 abcstu2@emc.com
AS3 abcstu3@emc.com
AS4 abcstu4@em.com
AS5 abcstu5@emc.com
AS6 abcstu6@emc.com
AS7 abcstu7@emc.com
AS11 abcstu8@emc.com
I need to create a stored procedure or function that:
1. Selects an Email from the first table, based on a valid ID,
2. Splits the Email field of the first table (using the space separator) so that there is an array of Emails and then,
3. Selects the relevant EmailAddress value from the second table, based on a valid Email stored in the array
Is there any way that this can be done directly within SQL Server using a stored procedure/function without having to use cursors?

Many Thanks,
probetatester@yahoo.com

I want to loop through the data from #Base_Resource and do the follwing logic.

1. get the Resourcekey from #Base_Resource and insert into #Resource table

2. Get the SCOPE_IDENTITY(),value and insert into to

Temp Table Vs Global Temp Table

Jun 24, 1999

I think this is a very simple question, however, I don't know the
answer. What is the difference between a regular Temp table
and a Global Temp table? I need to create a temp table within
an sp that all users will use. I want the table recreated each
time someone accesses the sp, though, because some of the
same info may need to be inserted and I don't want any PK errors.

thanks!!

SQL Server 2012 :: Stored Procedures Compiles Even When There Is No CREATE TABLE For A Temp Table

Feb 11, 2015

i am inserting something into the temp table even without creating it before. But this does not give any compilation error. Only when I want to execute the stored procedure I get the error message that there is an invalid temp table. Should this not result in a compilation error rather during the execution time.?

--create the procedure and insert into the temp table without creating it.
--no compilation error.
CREATE PROC testTemp
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #tmp(dt)
SELECT GETDATE()
END

only on calling the proc does this give an execution error

Power Pivot :: Temp Table Or Table Variable In Query (not Stored Procedure)?

Jul 19, 2012

I don't know if it's a local issue but I can't use temp table or table variable in a PP query (so not in a stored procedure).

Environment: W7 enterprise desktop 32 + Office 2012 32 + PowerPivot 2012 32

Simple example:
    declare @tTable(col1 int)
    insert into @tTable(col1) values (1)
    select * from @tTable

Works perfectly in SQL Server Management Studio and the database connection is OK to as I may generate PP table using complex (or simple) queries without difficulty.

But when trying to get this same result in a PP table I get an error, idem when replacing table variable by a temporary table.

Message: OLE DB or ODBC error. .... The current operation was cancelled because another operation the the transaction failed.

SQL Tools :: Adding Column To A Table Causes Copying Data Into Temp Table

Sep 23, 2015

If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.

Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1]  and [MyColumn_LINE_5].

Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?

BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] (
[MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,

[Code] ....

The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.

Column Name Or Number Of Supplied Values Does Not Match Table Definition When Trying To Populate Temp Table

Jun 6, 2005

Hello,

I am receiving the following error:

Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition

I am trying to insert values into a temp table, using values from the table I copied the structure from, like this:

SELECT TOP 1 * INTO #tbl_User_Temp FROM tbl_User
TRUNCATE TABLE #tbl_User_Temp

INSERT INTO #tbl_User_Temp EXECUTE UserPersist_GetUserByCriteria @Gender = 'Male', @Culture = 'en-GB'

The SP UserPersist_GetByCriteria does a
"SELECT * FROM tbl_User WHERE gender = @Gender AND culture = @Culture",
so why am I receiving this error when both tables have the same
structure?

The error is being reported as coming from UserPersist_GetByCriteria on the "SELECT * FROM tbl_User" line.

Thanks,
Greg.

Transact SQL :: Table Structure - Inserting Data From Other Temp Table

Aug 14, 2015

Below is my table structure. And I am inserting data from other temp table.

CREATE TABLE #revf (
[Cusip] [VARCHAR](50) NULL, [sponfID] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, GroupSeries [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [tran] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [AddDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [SetDate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [PoolNumber] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Aggregate] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [Price] [VARCHAR](max) NULL, [NetAmount] [VARCHAR](max) NULL,

[Code] ....

Now in a next step I am deleting the records from #revf table. Please see the delete code below

DELETE
FROM #revf
WHERE fi_gnmaid IN (
SELECT DISTINCT r2.fi_gnmaid
FROM #revf r1, #revf r2

[Code] ...

I don't want to create this #rev table so that i can avoid the delete statement. But data should not affect. Can i rewrite the above as below:

SELECT [Cusip], [sponfID], GroupSeries, [tran], [AddDate], [SetDate], [PoolNumber], [Aggregate], [Price], [NetAmount], [Interest],
[Coupon], [TradeDate], [ReversalDate], [Description], [ImportDate], MAX([fi_gnmaid]) AS Fi_GNMAID, accounttype, [IgnoreFlag], [IgnoreReason], IncludeReversals, DatasetID, [DeloitteTaxComments], [ReconciliationID],

[Code] ....

If my above statement is wrong . Where i can improve here? And actually i am getting 4 rows difference.

Is it possible to insert data into a temp table with data returned from a stored procedure joined with data from another table?

insert #MyTempTable

JOIN dbo.OtherTable...

I'm missing something before the JOIN command. The temp table needs to know which fields need be updated.

I just can't figure it out

Transact SQL :: Insert Data From Temp Table To Other Table

I want to insert the data from temp table to other table. Only condition is, it needs to sorted based on tool number and tool date. For example if we have ten records for tool number 1000, it should be order by tool number and then based on tool_dt. Both tables doesn't have any primary keys. Please find below my code. I removed all the unnecessary columns for simple understanding. INSERT INTO tool_summary  (tool_nbr, tool_dt) select tool_nbr, tool_dt from #tool order by tool_nbr, tool_dt...But this query is not working as expected. Data is getting shuffled.

Rename Table After Loading Data Into Temp Table

Dec 19, 2007

WE have a job that loads data from an Oralce DB into our SQL Server 2000 DB twice a day. The schedule has just changed so that now there is a possibility of having my west coast users impacted when it runs at 5 PM PST and my east coast users impacted when it runs at 7 AM EST. As a workaround, I have developed a DTS package that loads the data into temp tables instead of the real tables. IE. Oracle -> XTable_temp instead of Oracle -> XTable. The load sometimes takes about an hour to an hour and a half to load, so this solution works great, but I want to then lock the table, delete it and rename the temp table to table X. The pseudo code would be:

Begin Transaction


Lock Table XTable

Drop XTable

Alter Table XTable_temp rename to XTable

Release Lock XTable

End Transaction

Create XTable_temp

I see two issues with this solution. 1) I think if I can lock XTable that the lock would be released when the table is dropped and the XTable_temp was being renamed. 2) I can't find a command to rename a table.

Any ideas on a process that might help?


TIA,

A

Trigger- Dump 'inserted' Table To Temp Table

Jul 11, 2006

I want to pass the 'inserted' table from a trigger into an SP, I think I need to do this by dumping inserted table into a temporary table and passing the temp table. However, I need to do this for many tables, and don't want to list all the column names for each table/trigger (maintenance nightmare).

Can I dump the 'inserted' table to a temp table WITHOUT specifying the column names?

Global Temp Table Vs. Permanent Table Use

Dec 17, 2004

I need to decide what is better to use: global temp table ( I can't use local one) or permanent table in SQL 2000 stored procedures. I extract data from linked server table and update several tables on our server.
Those procedures scheduled to run every 3 hours.

Another question: for some reasons when I used global temp table, I wasn't able to schedule multi steps with every step executing one of the stored procedures.I think global temp tables should be visible to other stored procedures, right?

Your suggestions?

Table Variable Versus #Temp Table

Jan 17, 2008

In a previous post "Could #TempTable within SP cause lock on tempdb?" http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=2691763&siteid=1

It was obvious that we have to limit the use of #Temp table to a minimum. Let assume that some of the temp tables are really difficult to replace and we have to live with them.

Would it be easier on tempdb if the #TempTable is replaced by a table variable? Or do they all end up in tempdb?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Putting Data Into Table B From Table A Without Using A Cursor

Aug 24, 2006

on SQL Server 2005, no SP.

Currently using a cursor in a stored procedure to retrieve data from one table and to put it into another table. like so:

declare @HTR money
declare @Uniqueid varchar(15)

declare cur_HTR cursor for
select uniqueid, sum(hours_to_resolve) as thtr from com_trail_helpdesk_module group by uniqueid

open cur_htr
fetch next from cur_HTR into @Uniqueid, @HTR

while @@fetch_status = 0 begin
update com_hpd_helpdesk_history
set total_hours_to_resolve = @HTR
where case_id_ = @Uniqueid
and dateasat = @dateasat
fetch next from cur_HTR into @Uniqueid, @HTR
end

close cur_htr
deallocate cur_htr
...

This is taking about 45 minutes each time to do 21k records. Is there a faster, better way to do this?

UDF Vs Temp Table

Apr 4, 2006

Which one is better to use User Defined function or Temp Table?

I am working on SQL Server 2005, and I have a user defined function that returns a table. I need to run queries on this table.

I am not sure if I should run the function once and store the results in a temp table and run queries on the temp table or call the UDF multiple times. I am concerned about performance.

Thanks
