Do Stored Procedures Have A Limit On Number Of Parameters Or Byte Size Passed In?
Nov 21, 2007
Hi,
I'm using c# with a tableadapter to call stored procedures. I'm running into a problem where if I have over a certain byte size or number of parameters being passed into my stored proc I get an exception that reads:
"Cannot evaluate expression because a thread is stopped at a point where garbage collection is impossible, possibly because the code is optimized."
If I remove one parameter, the problem goes away. Has anyone run into this before?
Hi,I have a .NET application that I want to save the Config.EXE contentsto my SQL database for remote review/testing. This config file is3700+ bytes long. I created a field in one of my tables with a VARCHAR4800 and then created a stored procedure that receives a parameter(also VARCHAR(4800).However it fails to write anything if the length of the value that Ipass is anything greater than 900. If I pass exactly 900 characters orless - the data is written to the field. If I pass 901 characters Iget nothing.I'm suspicious since it is exactly 900. I seriously doubt it's somelimitation of MS-SQL so I need a nudge in the right direction.Thanks
Hi, I have a problem importing data from SQL Server 2000 'text' columns to SQL Server 2005 nvarchar(max) columns. I get the following error when encountering a transfer of any column that matches the above. The error is copied below,
Any help on this greatly appreciated...

In which system table the information about the optional parameters passed to stored procedure are stored.I know about the tbl_columns and all that stuff. From where can i can come to know the parameter is mandatory or optional.--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com
I have created an SSIS package where I have added an Execute SQL Task to run an existing stored procedure in my SQL database.
General Tab:
Result Set: None Connection Type: OLE DB SourceType: Direct Input IsQueryStoredProcedure: False (this is greyed out and cannot be changed) Bypass Prepare: True SQL Statement: EXEC FL_CUSTOM_sp_ml_location_load ?, ?;
Parameter Mapping:
Variable Name Direction Data Type Prmtr Name Prmtr Size User: system_cd Input NVARCHAR 0 10 User: location_type_cd Input NVARCHAR 1 10
Variables:
location_type_cd - Data type - string; Value - Store (this is static) system_cd - Data type - string - ?????? The system code changes based on the system field for each record in the load table
STORED PROCEDURE: The stored procedure takes data from a load table and inserts it into another table:
Stored procedure variables: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_ml_location_load] (@system_cd nvarchar(10), @location_type_cd nvarchar(10)) AS BEGIN .....................
This is an example of what I want to accomplish: I need to be able to group all system 3 records, then pass 3 as the parameter for system_cd, run the stored procedure for those records, then group all system 18 records, then pass 18 as the parameter for system_cd, run the stored procedure for those records and keep doing this for each different system in the table until all records are processed.
I am not sure how or if it can be done to pass the system parameter to the stored procedure based on the system # in the sys field of the data.
I have an issue with using multiple parameters in SQL Reporting services where data is passed in from a stored procedure
When running the report in design mode - I can type in a parameter sting and it runs fine
In the report preview screen I can select single parameters by ticking the drop down list and again it runs fine
as soon as I tick more than one I get an error
An error occurred during local report processing
Query execution failed for data set €˜data'
Must declare the scalar variable '@parameter'
Some info...
The dataset 'workshop' is using a sproc to return the data string?
I get multiple values back fine in the sproc using this piece of code
(select [str] from iter_charlist_to_table( @Parameter, DEFAULT) ))
I have report parameters set to Multi-Value
Looking through the online books it says...
You can define a multivalued parameter for any report parameter that you create.
However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a query, the following requirements must be satisfied:
The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, or Analysis Services. The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalued parameter array to a stored procedure. The query must use an IN clause to specify the parameter.
I am writing a stored procedure that takes in a customer number, a current (most recent) sales order quote, a prior (to most current) sales order quote, a current item 1, and a prior item 1, all of these parameters are required.Then I have current item 2, prior item 2, current item 3, prior item 3, which are optional.
I added an IF to check for the value of current item 2, prior item 2, current item 3, prior item 3, if there are values, then variable tables are created and filled with data, then are retrieved. As it is, my stored procedure returns 3 sets of data when current item 1, prior item 1, current item 2, prior item 2, current item 3, prior item 3 are passed to it, and only one if 2, and 3 are omitted.I would like to learn how can I return this as a one data set, either using a full outer join, or a union all?I am including a copy of my stored procedure as it is.
Hi there, I have a database table with a field to specify the username of records that particular user is allowed to access (read only). I want to be certain the user does not have access to any other records. So I'm using a stored procedure to query the table with "WHERE dbuser = USER". My problem is that the stored procedure is returning an error that the table I'm querying cannot be found, and I suspect it is because the user does not have proper permissions to see those tables, even through the stored procedure. So my question is, how do I grant the user sufficient access for this stored procedure to work without outright granting them select permission on the tables? Much appreciated!
In my ASP page, when I select an option from the drop down list, it has to get the records from the database stored procedure. There are around 60,000 records to be fetched. It throws an exception when I select this option. I think the application times out due to the large number of records. Could some tell me how to limit the number of rows to be returned to avoid this problem. Thanks. Query SELECT @SQLTier1Select = 'SELECT * FROM dbo.UDV_Tier1Accounts WHERE CUSTOMER IN (SELECT CUSTOMERNUMBER FROM dbo.UDF_GetUsersCustomers(' + CAST(@UserID AS VARCHAR(4)) + '))' + @Criteria + ' AND (number IN (SELECT DISTINCT ph1.number FROM Collect2000.dbo.payhistory ph1 LEFT JOIN Collect2000.dbo.payhistory ph2 ON ph1.UID = ph2.ReverseOfUID WHERE (((ph1.batchtype = ''PU'') OR (ph1.batchtype = ''PC'')) AND ph2.ReverseOfUID IS NULL)) OR code IN (SELECT DISTINCT StatusID FROM tbl_APR_Statuses WHERE SearchCategoryPaidPaymentsT1 = 1))'
I need some help working with CLR UDTs. I have created two UDTs called trajectory and point. Each trajectory consists of a list of points. Each point consists of three members : lon( type double), lat( type double) and datetime.
I have written my own IBinarySerialize.Write method for the trajectory type which is the following:
Dim maxSize As Integer = 4000 Dim value As String = "" Dim paddedvalue As String
Dim i As Integer Dim pt As Point
For i = 0 To point_list.Count - 1
pt = point_list.Item(i)
If i = 0 Then value = value & pt.X & "|" & pt.Y & "|" & pt.D
Else
value = value & ">" & pt.X & "|" & pt.Y & "|" & pt.D End If
I am not sure about the architecture of the Issue Tracker and hence not sure if it applies here. But I will post in any case and wait for users on this forums comments as well.
===========Earlier post================== This question is regarding the architecture of TimeEntry. In some programs it builds an arrayList for Master-detail type of relationship and when user is ready to save it by clicking 'submit' it build a variable with pipe delimited fields. This is then passed to a sql query.
This to me does not seem to be an efficient manner. Because the max character is 1500 chars as parameter to SQL query.
I was wondering if instead I could store it as an XML and then use the XML to import in to SQL.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated, I am running in to problems where my variable construct does increase to more than 1500 chars. Any thoughts are much appreciated in this regards.
I want to create a stored procedure with SQL Server 6.5 that CAN take 3 parameters, all of which are optional. The declaration for the stored procedure is : CREATE PROCEDURE BackOrdersII @CustCode varchar(10), @FromDate datetime, @ToDate datetime AS SELECT * FROM ISO_Details WHERE DATEDIFF(dd, fldEst_Del_Date, getdate()) > 0 AND CONVERT(char(12),fldActual_Del_Date,3)=`01/01/00` AND CONVERT(char(12),fldEst_Del_Date,3)<>`01/01/00` AND fldDeleted<>1 ORDER BY DATEDIFF(dd, fldEst_Del_Date, getdate()) DESC
How do I formulate the procedure to allow me to select from the table, keeping the current WHERE clause but adding extra items to allow the results to be further filtered depending upon which of the parameters are given to the procedure. Any one, two, or all three parameters could be given.
Sorry if this seems like a simple question but I am only just getting into using stored procedures.
Have looked everywhere and cannot find the answer! So perhaps someone here can answer.
I have an Access 2000 front-end to a SQL Server 2000 database.
I know how to create Stored Procedures that receive parameters; and also how to open a Stored Procedure in the query results window using the DoCmd object. For example,
I use a stored procedure that is calling several other stored procedurewhich update or append values in several tables. All of them are storedprocedures with input parameters by which they filter rows to be updated orinserted into other tables.Filtration is based on certain actual values on forms (form with severalsubforms).My question is following: How to pass parameters to those stored proceduresthat are triggered by a button?Those stored procedures are not recordset of forms, so I can't pass it usingInput Parameters property of forms (or I can?).Thanks.Zlatko
My colleague and I (both are newbie’s to .NET) are divided on whether to use stored procedures or parameters.
His viewpoint is, using stored procedures you are spreading the load i.e. SQL server and web server etc. This is not a good solution because it is not a portable when it has to be relocated.
Is he right?
I thought to avoid SQL injection it is best to use stored procedures but I do see his reasoning as well.
Yazzy is Very confused!! Thanks in advance for any of your thoughts
How can I pass a name of a table to a stored procedure. I want to pass the name as a parameter. The table already exists in the db. After that, I will do "SELECT ..... FROM @tableparameter" What is the right way to do that?
I seached around for an answer to this question but didn't have much luck. Hopefully someone can help.
I am passing two parameters from a web page to a stored procedure. The first paramater @Field is the name of the field in the database I want to search, the second @Value is the value to seach for. The @Value works fine but the SP does not seem to recongnize the field parameter. I'm not sure if what I am attemping is not supported or wheather I just need to format the @Field in a different manner. The code and stored procedure is below.
Thanks for your help, Gary
Here is the web code:
Dim conMSS As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("dsnMSS")) Dim cmdItems As New SqlCommand("DS-SPRS.dbo.s_ItemLookUp", conMSS)
I am creating a stored Procedure and I am getting an error which relates to DATENAME. SELECT COUNT(*) AS calls, DATENAME(@varDate, CALLSTARTTIME) AS 'Total Calls' FROM CALL_LOG_MASTER WHERE (COMMERCIALS='1') AND (CALLSTARTTIME >= @StartDate) AND (CALLENDTIME <=@EndDatesql doesn't like: DATENAME( @varDate, CallStartTime)sql works fine if I change @varDate into 'yy', 'mm', 'dd', or 'wk'Since I do not want to make 5 unique Stored Proc just because of @varDate.....Is there any way to work around this problem?
I need to create a SP that will accept a varying number of input parameters. A form that the user completes has a several controls that serve to narrow the number of records returned. The more parameters given, the fewer rows returned. In the past I have accomplished this by dynamically building an SQL statement. I dosen't appear possible to pass an SQL statement in a variable to a SP. Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
I need to set date parameters within Stored Procedures using a sql 2008 R2, with an access 2007 front end. The procedure needs to allow me to set parameters for a start date and an end date.
I am using SQL Server 2000. I have a table with, say, 20 columns. Ihave one procedure which updates all 20 columns at once, accepting aparameter for each column. However, I want to be able to pass anycombination of parameters and only update those columns if passed. SoI created the sp as something likecreate update_t1(@col1 int = null,@col2 int = null,@col3 int = null,....@col20 int = null)asupdate t1set col1 = @col1,col2 = @col2,col3 = @col3,.....col20 = @col20This way I can explicitly specify columns or not as I choose. Forexample I could call "exec update_t1 @col1 = 23, @col4 = 49" to updateonly the first and fourth column. Of course this will obviouslyupdate the remaining columns to null. Is there any way to identifywithin the procedure which parameters were actually specified? Ican't simply do a null check because the user could be updating thevalue to be null. Is there any way for the procedure to know theexact command that invoked it?For example, if I called "exec update_t1 @col1 = 23, @col4 = 49" Iwould want to know only col1 and col4 were specified. If I called"exec update_t1 @col1 = 23, @col4 = 49, @col17 = null" I would want toknow that col1, col4 and col17 were specified, even though col17 wasset to the default of null.
Now what i have to do is i need to make sure that ID,Name,City,County,Phone is there in flat file. if it is not there then i have to send mail to client saying that file is not valid.
Let me know how i will do it.I need to also calculate the size of flat file.
Hello, Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of being able to send an unlimited amount of parameters to a stored proc and having the stored proc detect how many parameters were sent?
Example: 1) calling the stored proc with 2 strings: exec sp_myproc "a","b"
2) calling the stored proc with 7 strings: exec sp_myproc "a","b","c","d","e","f","g"
The following sp_myproc would need to be able to support an unlimited amount of parameters as well as detect how many were sent...
Thanks in advance for any help and/or code samples given!

I've a SqlDataSource control that has stored procedures specified for each of its commands: SelectCommand, InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, DeleteCommand . And for Insert, Update and Delete, I've specified asp:parameters for each stored procedure's parameters. Now, my stored procedures all have return values, and I've successfully accessed the return values for Insert and Update, but for some reason, I'm getting very wrong results for Delete. <DeleteParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="result" Type="Int32" Direction="ReturnValue" /> <asp:Parameter Name="myID" Type="Int32" /></DeleteParameters>The moment I add my "result" with the direction ReturnValue, I instantly get a "Procedure or function <storedprocedurename> has too many arguments specified." error. I checked my SQL Profiler, and it seems that the page is passing result as an Input parameter, instead of keeping it as a ReturnValue! e.g. exec spName @myID=1, @result=NULLwhen it should be exec spName @myID=1I get the correct behavior with Update and Insert, so I'm wondering whether if this is a bug or by-design behavior or something very screwy with my computer?Help? Thoughts?
I was just wondering if something could be explained to me.
I have the following:
1. A table which has fields with data types and lengths / sizes 2. A stored procedure for said table which also declares variables with datatype and lengths/ sizes 3. A function in written in VB .net that uses said stored procudure. The code used to add the parameters to the sql command also requires that i give a data type and size.
How come i need to specify data type and length in three different places? Am i doin it wrong?
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Im using SQL Server 2000 with Visual Studio .Net using Visual Basic..
I have written a simple C# console application that create my own Stored Procedures the code is here ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
static void Main(string[] args) { SqlConnection cn; string strSql; string strConnection; SqlCommand cmd; strConnection="server=(local);database=Northwind;integrated security=true;"; strSql="CREATE PROCEDURE spmahdi @CustomerID nchar(5) @counter int OUTPUT AS SELECT OrderID, OrderDate,RequiredDate,ShippedDate FROM Orders WHERE CustomerID = @CustomerID ORDER BY OrderID SET @counter=@@rowcount"; cn=new SqlConnection(strConnection); cn.Open(); cmd=new SqlCommand(strSql,cn); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cn.Close(); Console.WriteLine("Procedure Created!"); }
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ but it has some errors becuase of my strSql strSql="CREATE PROCEDURE spmahdi @CustomerID nchar(5) @counter int OUTPUT AS SELECT OrderID, OrderDate,RequiredDate,ShippedDate FROM Orders WHERE CustomerID = @CustomerID ORDER BY OrderID SET @counter=@@rowcount"; I mean in creating the stored procedure if i delete the Output parameter from my stored procedure and my strSql would be somethimg like this strSql="CREATE PROCEDURE spmahdi @CustomerID nchar(5) AS SELECT OrderID, OrderDate,RequiredDate,ShippedDate FROM Orders WHERE CustomerID = @CustomerID ORDER BY OrderID "; There will be no errors I use Visual Studio.NET 2003(full versoin)and MSDE(not Sql Server) Could someone help me solve this problem? Thanks and Regards.
I have a stored procedure some thing like this.. When I pass empty strings to both the parameters ..it is returning all the rows from the table.
IF I pass both empty strings to @LLASTNAME_I Char(21), @DEPARTMENTCODE_I char(7),it should not select any rows from the table.. can any one suggest me as to how to accomplish this..
CREATE procedure Ceb_Phone_Book @LLASTNAME_I Char(21), @DEPARTMENTCODE_I char(7) AS Select EM010132.DEPARTMENTCODE_I, DEPARTMENTNAME_I, LLASTNAME_I, FFIRSTNAME_I, EM010132.WORKPHONE_I, EM010132.MSTRING_I_5 FROM EM010132 INNER JOIN HR2DEP01 ON HR2DEP01.DEPARTMENTCODE_I = EM010132.DEPARTMENTCODE_I WHERE INACTIVE = 0 AND LLASTNAME_I LIKE LTRIM(RTRIM(@LLASTNAME_I)) + '%' AND EM010132.DEPARTMENTCODE_I LIKE LTRIM(RTRIM(@DEPARTMENTCODE_I)) + '%' ORDER BY LLASTNAME_I,FFIRSTNAME_I
I guess I'm the only one with this problem -- couldn't find anything on it in the back questions. Maybe it's a weird problem. :)
Anyway, although I'm not new to SQL, I am a bit new to stored procedures, and MS SQL Server 7. (I've been using mySQL, decent, but doesn't have many features ... )
I used some ASP and stored procedure code from 4guysfromrolla.com for session tracking through SQL Server.
I've modified most of the stored procedures so that they actually work. :)
To answer some questions before they're asked: It's a resume database, and does need to be able to store 8000 characters at a shot. (I'm hoping 8000 is as large as it gets for this particular field.)
There's only one problem now: One of the stored procedures enters information into the sessionvalue field of the table. However, much of our data contains apostrophes ('), and we need to be able to store them. I thought that modifying the execute statement would do it, something like:
I use EXEC statement to execute query in NVARCHAR format. Query is constructed using WHILE loop. Lenght of parameter @query in limited on 4000 ch. But my parameter is longer. Data types ntext and text can't be used for parameters. Any idea?
