The following are the output lines from my code which is constructing some T-SQL queries on the fly. The query highlighted in yellow is the problem query. The code upto the problem query is working correctly and I am able to see the output tables in the Query Analyzer
STEP 1 : Create 3 Tables In Dynamic T-SQL : Showing 3 Strings from Exec statement
Create Table ##Test_word28July2007185548990201 ( t float, e float, s float, word varchar(80) )
Create Table ##OUT_Test_word28July2007185548990201 ( t float, e float, s float, word varchar(80), KeywordID int, rank float )

Problem Definition
Part 1
The update query is trying to retrieve a value in a dynamically constructed table. ##STVR_FLOAT_Test_word28July2007185548990201 (1 column var_val , 1 row)
Update <Table_Name> set t = @var_val where t > @var_val
The update query is simple, except I need to "SELECT" @var_val from the dynamic table
The @var_val is a float value.
I have outputted the contents of the table that is holding the @temp_val variable
It has the correct value and the table has only 1 row and 1 column.
WHAT IS THE SYNTAX OF A QUERY TO SELECT A SINGLE VALUE FROM A TEMP TABLE WITH ONLY 1 ROW OR COLUMN AND USE THE SELECTED VALUE AS A VARIABLE IN AN UPDATE STATEMENT
I'm very new to SQL Server. Please help. I need to create a FUNCTION that creates a view. Then call this function in a SQL which is passed as a parameter to BCP. In Oracle, it would be something like:
create function CREATEVIEW
return number as
begin
create view SampleView as SELECT a,b,c from Mytable;
return 1;
when others then return 0; -- for exception handling
end:
create function DROPVIEW
return number as
begin
Drop view SampleView;
return 1;
when others then return 0; -- for exception handling
end:
Then my BCP will have something like:
BCP "select CREATEVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..
then
BCP "select * from SampleView"... QUERYOUT ..
then drop the view again:
BCP "select DROPVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..
I know there is no DUAL table in SQL SERVER. I just want to know how to code this in SQL Server.
The origin of my problem is that my SQL statement is too long to fit as BCP parameter, hence, am creating a view and reading there and dropping it again. If you can provide me with a better workaround, that would be great. Thanks in advance.
From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database, i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database, it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still the problem persist.
Is it possible to pass 5 variables to a proc and have IT do the thinking and query structuring? An example of what I'm try to do is have one proc for getting vehicles by make, model, and years example of what I'd like to accomplish:veh_list_vehicleInfo_byDetails @TypeID int, @MakeID int, @ModelID int, @begYear int, @endYear int AS BEGIN
declare @SQL as nvarchar(500) set @SQL = 'SELECT a.ID, b.Model, c.Make, d.Name, a.Year, a.Mileage, a.Price, a.Sale, a.Certified_Pre_Owned FROM veh_vehicles a INNER JOIN veh_model b ON a.ModelID = b.ID INNER JOIN veh_make c ON a.MakeID = c.ID INNER JOIN veh_location d ON a.LocationID = d.ID'
decalre @ATTRIBUTES as nvarchar(500) if @TypeID is not null AND @TypeID > 0 begin set @ATTRIBUTES = @ATTRIBUTES + ' a.TypeID = ' + @TypeID end if @MakeID is not null AND @MakeID > 0 begin set @ATTRIBUTES = @ATTRIBUTES + ' a.MakeID = ' + @MakeID end
....etc etc.......
if Len(@ATTRIBUTES) > 0 begin EXEC(@SQL + ' WHERE ' + @ATTRIBUTES) End Else BEGIN EXEC(@SQL) END
END But I keep getting some errors regarding converting 'a.TypeID = ' to int ????? Please help!! I figured this would be easier than writing stored procs for EACH situation
i am using SQL server for turkish language and i have a problem with turkish character "i". Whenever "i" comes in any word of query it gives wrong result. It also not able to recognize the small and capital "i" of turkish.
DDL and then write data using INSERT INTO ... DDL.
There are three strange things that i've encountered and will be glad to get help from anyone:
If I use as a table name expression with spaces, the name is changed to expression with underscore '_' symbol instead of spaces. I can not set trailing '$' when creating a table, but when inserting data I have to use the name with traling '$' otherwise the exception is thrown. Moreover, if i get the scheme of the Excel file later I am getting TWO tables instead of one: a first with the name without '$' and another the same with trailing '$'. Nedless to say that visually Excel shows only a name without '$' If I am trying to do same operations using OLEDB 12.0 (Office2007) I get invalid file. If anyone knows how I can overcome above issues, please write me a code. I am coding in C# but VB examples are as good as any other.
I am profiling a web application that is using the Microsoft JDBC driver, version 1.1 to connect to a sql server 2005 database. Each java.sql.Statement that is created, within the application, gets a query timeout value set on it ( statement.setQueryTimeout(...) ).
I have discovered that the JDBC driver creates a new thread to monitor each Statement and the query timeout value. When the application is under load these threads are getting created faster then they are being destroyed and I am concerned that this will cause a performance problem in production.
One option I have is to remove the query timeout value and the monitor threads will not be created, another is to change JDBC drivers.
I'm curious is there any way to control this behavior so that these threads are not created or are managed more efficiently. Is there a workaround that anyone is aware of? Is this considered a bug?
I have found a similar bug here for the 2000 driver: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/894552
I'm not at all comfortable with SSIS so please forgive me if I overload you all with information here:
I need to create a data table using SSIS which does not delete the previous days data. So far all the data tables we use to write reports in Visual Studio are constructed in SSIS as follows.
1 - Excecute SQL Task - DELETE FROM STOCK 2 - Data Flow Task 3 - Data Reader Source - SELECT * FROM ODBCDATASOURCE 4 - OLE DB Destination (Creates table STOCK)
The data tables which are created this way are stored in a data warehouse and scheduled to refresh once a day, which means that any data from yesterday is lost when the updates run. So, I tried to create a table which never has its previous days' data deleted by using just the last three steps above - and it worked great in Visual Studio, no problem at all. However, when I added this SSIS Package to the Update Job in SQL Server Management Studio, the job totally rejected the packed with the message: "The command line parameters are invalid. The step failed".
I thought I could work around this problem by asking the job step to excecute a simple SQL query to insert the data from table1 into table2 (and would thus negate the need for a SSIS Packege at all), but it threw me a curve ball with some message about not being able to use proxy accounts to run T-SQL Scripts.
If anyone knows how to create a SSIS package in which the data never expires please could you impart some wisdom my way. I only need to do this once for a specific report.
Please, when answering, bear in mind that I'm a simple fellow with little understanding of the inner workings of SQL Server and its various components, so please use short sentences and simple words.
Hi. I am using DBF files as sources for some tables in SQL Server. The problem is that the table names in the DBF files are not all the same (e.g. frame061, frame949). I want to know the names of the tables inside the DBF files. Is there a way to query the table names, something like "select table_name from information_schema.tables" in SQL Server? By the way, those DBF files came from FoxPro. Thanks!
joy mundy alluded in her webcast that it is possible to dynamically specify a table name in a parameterized ole db source query. is this true? if so, how can it be done?
I have 2 tables (table1KKK, table2KKK), and want to run the same query on them by using parameter with the value "1" or "2". Is it possible to use that parameter as a part of the queried table name? Something like (only for demonstration €“ doesn€™t work): Select * From table +myParameter + kkk Thanks in advance!
I have query which is used to dynamically insert value but not working. We are trying to get all table names and insert dynamically to all tables by looping through table names.
declare @a varchar(max),@i int; declare @table table(rno int, name varchar(max)) declare @b varchar(max) insert into @table select row_number() over( order by table_name) rno, table_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.tables declare @tblname varchar(max)
I don't know why this is so difficult. What I want to do is take a table name as a parameter to build a query and get an integer value from the result of the query. But from all of the research I have been doing, Dynamic SQL is bad in SQL server because of SQL Injections. But my users are not going to be supplying the table names.
Things I have learned:
 - SQL Functions cannot use Exec to execute query strings.  - SQL Functions can return a concatenated string that could be used by a stored procedure to Exec the query string.
So how can I write a stored procedure that will  1. take a parameter 2. Pass the parameter to a function that will return a string 3. Execute that string as SQL 4. Get a return value from that SQL statement 5. Then finally, from a View, how can I pass a parameter to the stored procedure and get the returned value from the stored procedure to be used as a field in the View?
Numbers 3, 4, and 5 are where I am really stuck. I guess I don't know the proper syntax and limitations of SQL Server.
I have a pivot table query I am running and wanted to find out if there was a way to pull in the dates like getdate() - 12 months, getdate() - 11 months, etc. instead of hard coding the dates.
Here is my query

I have a dynamic sql which uses Pivot and returns "technically" variable no. of columns.
Is there a way to store the dynamic sql's output in to a temp table? I don't want to create a temp table with the structure of the output and limit no. of columns hence changing the SP every time I get new Pivot column!!
I want to create index for hash table (#TEMPJOIN2) to reduce the update query run time. But I am getting "Warning!
The maximum key length is 900 bytes. The index 'R5IDX_TMP' has maximum length of 1013 bytes. For some combination of large values, the insert/update operation will fail". What is the right way to create index on temporary table.
Update query is running(without index) for 6 hours 30 minutes. My aim to reduce the run time by creating index.Â
And also I am not sure, whether creating index in more columns will create issue or not.
Attached the update query and index query.

I want to use time series algorithm to mine data from my case table and nested table. Case table is Date table, while nested table is the fact table. E.g, I want to predict the monthly sales amount for different region (I have region table related to the fact table), how can I achieve this?
Thanks a lot and I hope it is clear for your help and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
I am confused on key column of case table and key time column of nested table by using Time Series algorithm.
In my case, the case table structure is as below:
Territory key text (the ID is actually dimrisk_key, in this case, I use the name column binding to combine the Territory column of case table Dimrisks),
While the nested table structure is as below:
Cal_month key time (in this case, actually the ID is dimdate_key, again, I used name column bining property to bind the Cal_month to the ID)
So my question is, as the key column of case table has been set to be Territory, as a result, does the model training still cover all the cases (rows) based on the ID of the table?
Also, in the nested table, as the key time column has been set to Cal_month rather than Dimdate_key of the nested table, as a result, would the single series based on the cal_month?
Hope it is clear for your advices and help.
And I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
If I have some mdx I'm using in reporting services like this:
select { [TimeByMinute].[All TimeByMinute].[2005].[May].[1] : [TimeByMinute].[All TimeByMinute].[2005].[May].[6] } on columns, {A_list_of_measures } on rows from ACD_Calls
The column names are unique to the day of month- which means when I use a table to display this in reporting services, the field names change dynamically when the date parameters change which means the table stops working.
I'll post this in reporting services too but I thought maybe I could alias the column names in mdx shielding the reporting services table from changes in dates.
What do you think? Would a matrix be more flexible in this case?
I need to pass the out put from a stored procedure as an input parameter to another stored procedure. I created a data set for each stored procedure. Fron the second data set parameter tab, I added a parameter to refer to the field from the first data set.
I get the error Fiels can not be used in query parameter expressions.
I tried two simple queries instead of stored procedures with first query feeding the second query. I get the same error. Is there any other other way to accomplish this?
I have a table which has a few fields, one being "datetime_traded". I need to write a query which returns the row which has the closest time (down to second) given a date/time. I'm using MS SQL.
Here's what I have so far:
Code:
select * from TICK_D where datetime_traded = (select min( abs(datediff(second,datetime_traded , Convert(datetime,'2005-05-30:09:31:09')) ) ) from TICK_D)
But I get an error - "The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.".
Does anyone know how i could do this? Thanks a lot for any help!
I'm having problems successfully executing bcp_init through a function pointer retrieved at run time from sqlncli.dll.
The call works when the library is statically linked.
Can someone please point out the problem? The commented out code in green executes successfully when the library is statically linked. Code marked in red fails.

I need to take a temporary table that has various times stored in a text field (4:30 pm, 11:00 am, 5:30 pm, etc.), convert it to miltary time then cast it as an integer with an update statement kind of like:
Update myTable set MovieTime = REPLACE(CONVERT(CHAR(5),GETDATE(),108), ':', '')
how this can be done while my temp table is in session?
I am struggling figuring out the token from a CMDEXEC job (as opposed to TSQL Job). It is not an option to execute the command by enabling the executing CMDs via TSQL, which is why I am using the agent. I have seen the Microsoft Site on tokens but all examples seem to be oriented to TSQL Job Type.
I am trying to delete a particular trace file and at same time keeping the SQL Directory dynamic.Taking it a step further is adding in "deleting if file exist".
I am in between of creating a dynamic SSSIS package which will run for multiple zones having different source connection.My source is in Oracle.I am having 3 DFT with the 3 different source tables.I want to create a package with above DFT dynamically so that my single package can run for the entire zone with dynamically source connection change.I have created a Master table which stores the zone source connection string and zone name. I have 2 different connection.so if in future any new zones come so only newly zone details need to be add in master table without opening the package.

Does anyone know if it is possible (and if yes, how) to create a trigger that creates a folder for every inserted record? In a specific root folder, I want a subfolder for every record in the table. How does the trigger have to look like to make the folder automatically with every insert of a new record???
