Howdy all,I'm trying to create a sproc that has the column name and search text as input parameters with dynamic SQL... what I have is:-- Create a variable @SQLStatementDECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(255)SELECT @SQLStatement = 'SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE (''' + @ColumnName + ''' = ''' + @SearchText + ''')'-- Execute the SQL statementEXEC(@SQLStatement)The procedure works (at least in Query Analyzer, once I declare/set @columnname and @searchtext) in that I don't get any errors. But it returns a blank table with "0 rows affected". However, if I hardcode the variables, it returns the proper data. What's wrong with my select statement?? Thanks!!JP
Hi, What is the difference between <Tablename> . . <ColumnName> and <Tablename> . <ColumnName> this syntax we are using in Storedprocedures. In SQL 2000, <Tablename> . . <ColumnName> is not working
Eg: Tablename =a Column Name = b Difference between a..b and a.b

I want to dynamically determine which column I select data from. The table I want to select from looks like this:tblSexualitySexualityID int PKEN nvarchar(20)NL nvarchar(20)DE nvarchar(20)Based on the value of variable @LanguageColumnName I want to select the value from either column "EN", "NL" or "DE"In the sample below the value of @LanguageColumnName is "NL".Unfortunately the value of sexualityname is ALWAYS: "tblSexuality.NL" and not the value from that specific column...how can I alter my procedure so that it does the select the value from that column?ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[spFindUsers]@LanguageColumnName nvarchar(3),@startRowIndex int,@maximumRows intASBEGINSET NOCOUNT ON; declare @tblSexualityName nvarchar(40)set @tblSexualityName='tblSexuality.' + @LanguageColumnName SELECT UserName,UserCode,ThumbNailPicture,BirthDate,ShowAgeOnly,IsMale,NearestBigCity,DistanceToNearestBigCity,Description,IsDonator,IsVIP,SexualityName FROM(SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY UserCode) as RowNum,tblUserData.UserName,UserCode,IsDonator,IsVIP,Description,BirthDate,IsMale,ShowAgeOnly,tblCountries.CountryPicture,@tblSexualityName as sexualityname,tblCountries.CountryName,ThumbNailPicture,LastActivityDate,UserRanking,NearestBigCity,DistanceToNearestBigCity FROM aspnet_Users INNER JOIN tblUserData ON aspnet_Users.UserId = tblUserData.UserID INNER JOIN tblCountries ON tblUserData.Country=tblCountries.CountryID INNER JOIN tblSexuality ON tblUserData.Sexuality=tblSexuality.SexualityID) as MemberInfoWHERE RowNum > @startRowIndex AND RowNum <= (@startRowIndex + @maximumRows)END
Hi folks, I have a little challenge for you, I hope :)
The short story is as follows: I have multiple rather well normalized tables, and a view which connect them all togheter. In one of the tables I have an xml column, which I in the view to varchar(4000), since SSIS doesn't like xml all that much. To make the view updateable I have an instead of trigger placed on it, which works quite perfectly from T-SQL. SSIS however, claims that I cannot insert to a read-only column. Does anyone have the slightest idea how I can get around this?
The only solution I can think of is having two columns for the XML data, one as varchar and the other as varchar, then having a trigger updating the xml column when the varchar is updated, but that would require recursive triggers, which I am not too happy with.
I got your email address from your web cast. I really enjoyed the web cast and found it to be very informative.
Our company is planning to use SSIS (VS 2005 / SQL Server 2005). I have a quick question regarding the product. I have looked for the information on the web, but was not able to find relevant information.
We are getting Source data from two of our client in the form of Excel Sheet. These Excel sheets Are generated using reporting services. On examining the excel sheet, I found out that the name Of the columns contain data itself, so the names are not static such as Jan 2007 Sales, Feb 2007 Sales etc etc. And even the number of columns are not static. It depends upon the range of date selected by the user.
I wanted to know, if there is a way to import Excel sheet using Integration Services by defining the position Of column, instead of column name and I am not sure if there is a way for me to import excel with dynamic Number of columns.
Your help in this respect is highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hi Anthony, I am glad the Web cast was helpful.
Kamal and I have both moved on to other teams in MSFT and I am a little rusty in that area, though in general dynamic numbers of columns in any format is always tricky. I am just assuming its not feasible for you to try and get the source for SSIS a little closer to home, e.g. rather than using Excel output from Reporting Services, use the same/some form of the query/data source that RS is using.
I suggest you post a question on the SSIS forum on MSDN and you should get some good answers. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showforum.aspx?forumid=80&siteid=1
Hi, I have a need to display on screen AND email a pdf report to email addresses specified at run time, executing the report with a parameter specified by the user. I have looked into data driven subscriptions, but it seems this is based on scheduling. Unfortunately for the majority of the project I will only have access to SQL 2005 Standard Edition (Production system is Enterprise), so I cannot investigate thoroughly.
So, is this possible using data driven subscriptions? Scenario is:
1. User enters parameter used for query, as well as email addresses. 2. Report is generated and displayed on screen. 3. Report is emailed to addresses specified by user.
SQL Server 2000 SP4 to multiple SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition on PDAs. My DB on SQL2k is published with a single dynamic row filter using host_name() on my 'parent' table and also join filters from parent to child tables. The row filter uses joins to other tables elsewhere that are not published to evaluate what data is allowed through the filter.
E.g. Published parent table that contains suppliers names, etc. while child table is suppliers' products. The filter queries host_name(s) linked to suppliers in unpublished table elsewhere.
First initial sync with snapshot is correct and as I expected - PDA receives only the data from parent (and thus child tables) that matches the row filter for the host_name provided.
However - in my scenario host_name <--> suppliers may later be updated E.g. more suppliers assigned to a PDA for use or vice versa. But when I merge the mobile DB, the new data is not downloaded? Tried re-running snapshot, etc., no change.
Question: I thought the filters would remain dynamic and be applied on each sync?
I run a 'harmless' update on parent table using TSQL e.g. "update table set 'X' = 'X'" and re-sync. Now the new parent records are downloaded - but the child records are not!
Question: I wonder why if parent records are supplied, why not child records?
If I delete existing DB and sync new, I get the updated snapshot and all is well - until more data added back at server...
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible (or not) to have dynamic filters run during second or subsequent merge?
I have tried building an Inline TVF, as I assume this is how it would be used on the DB; however, I am receiving the following error on my code, I must be missing a step somewhere, as I've never done this before. I'm lost on how to implement this clr function on my db?
Error: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure clrDynamicPivot, Line 18 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'external'. CREATE FUNCTION clrDynamicPivot ( -- Add the parameters for the function here @query nvarchar(4000), @pivotColumn nvarchar(4000),
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spinb_CheckYN @FnNameYN varchar(50), @InvLineID int, @FnBit bit output AS
declare @SQL varchar(8000)
set @SQL = ' if dbo.' + @FnNameYN + ' (' + convert(varchar(31),@InvLineID) + ')) = 1 set @FnBit = 1 else set @FnBit = 0'
exec (@SQL) GO
Obviously; @FnBit is not defined in @SQL so that execution will not work. Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 4 Must declare the variable '@FnBit'. Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 5 Must declare the variable '@FnBit'.
So; is there a way to get a value out of a Dynamic SQL piece of code and get that value INTO my OUTPUT variable?
My many thanks to anyone who can solve this riddle for me. Thank You!
Sigh: For now, it looks like I'll have a huge string of "IF" statements for each business rule function, as follows: Hopefully a better solution comes to light.
------ Vertical Build1 - Std Vanes ----------- if @FnNameYN = 'fnb_YN_B1_14' BEGIN if dbo.fnb_YN_B1_14 (convert(varchar(31),@InvLineID) ) = 1 set @FnBit = 1 else set @FnBit = 0 END

I've looked up Books Online on Dynamic Cursor/ Dynamic SQL Statement.
Using the examples given in Books Online returns compilation errors. See below.
Does anyone know how to use Dynamic Cursor/ Dynamic SQL Statement?

I have a requirment which i have partly accomplished , but could not get through completely
i have a file which comes in a standard format ending with date and seq number ,
suppose , the file name is abc_yyyymmdd_01 , for first copy , if it is copied more then once the sequence number changes to 02 and 03 and keep going on .
then i need to transform those in to new file comma delimited destination file with a name abc_yyyymmdd,txt and others counting file counting record abc_count_yyyymmdd.txt. and move it to a designated folder. and the source file is then moved to archived folder
what i have taken apprach is
script task select source file --------------------> data flow task------------------------------------------> script task to destination file
dataflow task -------------------------> does count and copy in delimited format
what is happening here is i can accomlish a regular source file convert it to delimited destination file --------> and move it to destination folder with script task .
but cannot work the dynamic pick of a source file.
please advise with your comments or solution you have
I am trying to create an ssis package with dynamic csv file as output. and out format contains query output.
sample file name:
Unique identifier + query output + systemdate();
The expression is looking like this.
@[User::FilePath] + @[User::FileName] + ".CSV"
-- user filepath is a variable from ssis package. File name is the output from SQL query. using script task i have assigned the values to @[User::FileName] .
When I debugged the script task the value getting properly but same variable am using for Flafile destination. but its not working.
I have created a dynamic SQL program that returns a range of columns (1 -12) based on the date range the user may select. Each dynamic column is month based, however, the date range may overlap from one year to another. Thus, the beginning month for one selection may be October 2005, while another may have the beginning month of January 2007.
Basically, the dynamic SQL is a derived Pivot table. The problem that I need to resolve is how do I now use this dynamic result set in a Report. Please keep in mind that the name of the columns change based on the date range select.
I have come to understand that a dynamic anything is a moving target!
I need to pass all values of field of a table into a parameter. My table contains a field called typeID, there are 15 typeID in the table. Currently when a user choses a single type they see a report for that type. I want to give them the ability to run a report on all types. My thinking is that I should just be able to pass all typeID values into a string and pass it to the stored Proc... but being new at sql and this truley being the first thing I have ever done in it... I am missing the mark. Param is @TypeID Here is the sql to exec the stored proc:USE [db] GODECLARE @return_value int EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[OL] @TypeID = 2,SELECT 'Return Value' = @return_value GO
I know this is not the actual SP, I am just trying to get it to work, then I will be able to write the proc. It should be something like @Option = 1 AND 2 or 1 & 2 or something to that nature?
Hi there,I am trying to create a dynamic sql statement as follows:ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GET_FIS_LONGTITLE] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @TABLENAME VARCHAR(25), @COLUMNNAME VARCHAR(25), @COLUMNVALUE VARCHAR(25), @RETURNVALUE VARCHAR(60) OUTASBEGIN DECLARE @SQL AS VARCHAR(4000) SET @SQL = 'SELECT LONGTITLE FROM ' + CAST(@TABLENAME AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' WHERE ' + CAST(@COLUMNNAME AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' = ''' + CAST(@COLUMNVALUE AS VARCHAR(25)) + '''' execute (@SQL) --''' + CAST(@RETURNVALUE AS VARCHAR(60)) + ''' = END here I am trying to get the long title of an item based on the tablename, columnname, the column value. So the select returns the long title from the table as required. But I want to assign that value to the @RETURNVALUE So I tried:SET @SQL = 'SELECT ''' + CAST(@RETURNVALUE AS VARCHAR(60)) + ''' = LONGTITLE FROM ' + CAST(@TABLENAME AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' WHERE ' + CAST(@COLUMNNAME AS VARCHAR(25)) + ' = ''' + CAST(@COLUMNVALUE AS VARCHAR(25)) + '''' It does not work. I do not know what is missing here.Any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks,Murthy here
Hello All, I'm trying to build a SQL statement dynamically based on what was selected. I'm not sure how set strSQL equal to all the items checked in a checklist. Also, I don't know how to add the item to strSQL once it's determined that it has been checked.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim strSQL As String = 'dynamic SQL statement Dim li As ListItem For Each li In cklCheckList.Items If li.Selected = True Then 'add item to strSQL End If Next End Sub
Hello Pros Is it possible to author a stored procedure with dynamic sql inside, I need the SP for search purposes, take that i have a number of search criterions represented by a number of text boxes in the front-end web app, so if the users fills up the text box i will include it in the search condition ....
It's so easy to do it in the code-behind file by the means of a dynamic string with the search clauses appended to it, but i wanna do it with SPs
HI !! We are creating an Ad Hoc query tool for our Voters Profile system. Voters Profile Table has voting history for person. It has columns like : G04 P04 G03 P03 G02 P02 G01 P01 G00 P00 and History G = general election P = primary election xx = represent year G04 etc columns has value = "Y" if person voted in that year else its null If Person A voted in General Election in year 2004 and Primary Election in 2003 then History Column = G04P03 Now, we need to create a Ad Hoc Query where people ask for: "Give me a list of People who votes in All 4 general election" OR "Give me a list of people who voted 2 times in Primary Election" In order to do such query what we should do? Can some one help?
We are currently using SQL Server 7.0. Following are the Dynamic SQL I try to run
declare @ls_sql nvarchar(500),
set @ls_sql = 'select count(*) from Member where MemberID' execute sp_executesql @ls_sql
and it works fine. Now I need the results (Total Counts) into a varianle. Does any one know the correct syntax? I try following aways, and it is not work
declare @ls_sql nvarchar(500), @ll_count int
set @ls_sql = 'select count(*) from Member where MemberID' execute sp_executesql @ls_sql, @ll_count select @ll_count
I have a where clause which I dynamically build that looks like this.
SET @orderstatus = ' (t.fieldvalue in ( ''PEND'', ''REDR'') or (t.fieldvalue=''NOTA'' and pr.isactive = 0) or ((t.fieldvalue=''RXAP'' and m.formularymed = 0)) or (t.fieldvalue=''NOTA'' and pr.deano = @deano)) '
I then do @tsql = 'select * from table where ' + @orderstatus
The problem is I get the literal value @deano not the number that is stored in @deano
Helping a developer with an sp from a .net program which will feed it several parameters (any of which can be null). In other words the where clause is somewhat dynamic. I am posting the select statement (not the parameters) he used. Currently this sp runs very slow. I was considering building some type of dynamic where clause to check for the parameters to create that, but was afraid that in itself might be just as bad. Any better way to handle it?

I am trying to create a sql job that has multiple steps, emails out the error on a failure, and will continue to the next step. We can not put Outlook on our servers so we can not use SQL Operators.
Basically I would like every step in the job to jump to a failure step that emails out an error message and returns to the step after the step that failed. I could have a failure step for each actual step, but this job has a number of steps and being the anal programmer I am, I don't want to have multiple steps that do the same thing.
I have figured out how to Dynamically update the current sql Job by using sp_update_jobstep and job tokens [STEPID] and [JOBID]. For example the following code will update the job so it will quit job with failure if the step finishes successfully.
declare @tmpJobID as uniqueidentifier declare @tmpStepID as integer
set @tmpJobID = (convert(uniqueidentifier, [JOBID])) set @tmpStepID = [STEPID]
The problem is that the job is not updated until it is completed. So, the changes will not take affect until the next time it is ran. Is there a way to reload the job into memory, or force the job to use the updates?
I have also tried directly updating the sysjobsteps table but that didn't work either.
DECLARE @iCount INT DECLARE @strQry AS VARCHAR(4000) DECLARE @strEmp AS VARCHAR(200)

EXECUTE (@strQry)
PRINT @iCount
This statement does not execute, I tried to declare @iCount as VARCHAR(10), still it does not work. Actually I wanted to get the count in @iCount and manipulate later. Can anyone help?
