Error: Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The SUBSTRING Function.

Sep 28, 2007

Hi,

I am using a simple procedure to pivot results (found in another forum and adapted it). It is done on SQL Server 2005 server with all service packs. Procedure:
**************
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[EthnicityPivot] @StDate as Datetime, @EndDate as Datetime
as
begin
DECLARE @Teams varchar(2000)

truncate table ForEthnicPivot

INSERT INTO ForEthnicPivot
SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(ID), Team, Ethnicity
FROM dbo._EthnicityByTeamEpisode
where Startdate between @StDate and @EndDate
GROUP BY Ethnicity, Team

SET @Teams = ''
--// Get a list of the pivot columns that are important to you.

SELECT @Teams = @Teams + '[' + Team + '],'
FROM (SELECT Distinct Team FROM ForEthnicPivot) Team
--// Remove the trailing comma

SET @Teams = LEFT(@Teams, LEN(@Teams)-1)
--// Now execute the Select with the PIVOT and dynamically add the list
--// of dates for the columns
EXEC( 'SELECT * FROM ForEthnicPivot PIVOT (SUM(countID) FOR Team IN (' + @Teams + ')) AS X' )
end
************

I can call the function:
exec EthnicityPivot '01/01/2007','09/09/2007'

and it works fine in SQL analyzer, but when I want to use it in Visual Studio in a new report I am getting this error
message:

There is an error in the query. Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Incorrect syntax near ')'.

Anyone had similar error and sorted it?

Cheers

Odd Error Upon SqlDataReader.Read() Invalid Length Parameter Passed To The Substring Function.

Nov 12, 2003

An application I developed normally works great, but it seems that when processing a certian record (and none of the others so far), SQL Server throws this error:
"Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function."

Here's the code in question:

orderConnection.Open()
orderReader = orderCommand.ExecuteReader()
setControls(orderReader)

...

Private Sub setControls(ByVal dr As SqlDataReader)
If (dr.Read()) Then '<--*******problem line*******

The SqlDataReader (orderReader) doesn't blow up or anything until I call .Read() (and, as mentioned, this problem only occurs for one order). What could be happening here?

The package runs without error when I execute the package itself.

SQL XML :: Scalar Valued Function Slow Querying XML Passed As Parameter

May 28, 2015

I have a procedure that calls a SVF to convert an xmldocument. The ultimate purpose is to update the xml in a column in a multi-million row table. The xml is stored as varchar(MAX), it was supposed to carry any type of text, initially at least.

My question is: why is the xml-parsing performed inside the function much slower when i pass the xmldocument as type xml than when it is passed as varchar(MAX) and the CAST to xml is within the function? Does processing the xml input parameter in SlowFunction involve expensive crossing of some context border?

The two versions of the SVF (they return the rowcount in this simplified example):

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[FastFunction]
(
@inDetaljerText varchar(MAX)
)
RETURNS int

[Code] ....

The two versions of the SP

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[FastProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
select
dbo.FastFunction(al.Detaljer)

SQL2K/Log Reader Fails With Error 9003 The LSN Passed To Log Scan Is Invalid

Aug 8, 2007

Hi All,
We have transactional replication between two SQL Server 2000, SP4 and database is in simple recovery.
Occassionally Logreader agent fails with error 9003 (The LSN (164051:119090:22) passed to log scan in database 'ReportDB' is
invalid).
But in April 2007 this error has occurred multiple times. We have opened the case with PSS in April 2007 but till now there
is no concrete solution.

Error details in ErrorLog:
2007-04-24 16:49:09.79 spid59 Error: 9003, Severity: 20, State: 1
2007-04-24 16:49:09.79 spid59 The LSN (164051:119090:22) passed to log scan in database 'ReportDB' is invalid..
Error details in Log reader agent:
Repl Agent Status: 3
Publisher: {call sp_repldone ( 0x000280d30001d1320016, 0x000280d30001d1320016, 0, 0)}
Publisher: {call sp_replcmds (100, 0)}
Status: 0, code: 0, text: 'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'BR14D135R17'.'.
The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'BR14D135R17'.
Repl Agent Status: 6
Status: 0, code: 9003, text: 'The LSN (164051:119090:22) passed to log scan in database 'ReportDB' is invalid.'.

From above error details it can be seen that sp_repldone is already called for LSN 164051:119090:22 (0x000280d30001d1320016)
which means it is distributed.
Since LSN is distributed, transaction log of publisher for that LSN can be truncated by checkpoint process. And afterward if
logreader issues sp_replcmds for that LSN, we will get 9003 error.
So, question is why Logreader is looking for LSN if that is already distributed.
When checked "DBCC Opentran", it also reflect oldest distributed LSN as 164051:119090:22.

We tried changing the recovery model to FULL but that has only delayed the occurrence.
Once we have noticed that LSN mentioned in Error 9003 was already backed up one day before. And we don't think replication latency to be more than 3 hrs
(maximum).

After PSS recommendation, we have applied the hotfix 2187 but error has occurred again after one month.
Other recommendation is to disable read cache of hardware controller to avoid stale read(that we are working on). Current
setting is 100% read and 0% Write.

Other Details:
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition SP4 with Hotfix 2187
Window 2000 Advanced Server.
RAID 5 with array controller as HP Smart Array 641 Controller

Please let me know if you have faced such issue and have any idea on this problem.

Thanks,
Ramesh

How To Get Parameter Passed To SQL Query From Access

Jul 23, 2005

I am new to sql and very familiar with access. I am using a verylarge database(130M records) in ms sql2000 and think I need to frontend it with access for reports and forms, etc..I have some questions:1) Is there a way in SQL to prompt a user for input at the running ofa query like the [what is your name] construct in an access query?2) I can't seem to create calculated fields in a view in sql. Inaccess I put "total:=hours*rate" and a new column would be createdwhich would contain the total.3) I normally would create a form in access from which the accessqueries would pull their variables and then insert those variables inthe queries or reports, etc. How would this be accomplished usingsql.4) Lastly and probably most basic. How does a "real" sql developercreate reports and forms to interact with the enduser? I am usingaccess as a front end, but am open to suggestions.Thanks,Brad

SQL Limit Of Demilted Pipe Characters Passed As Parameter To Sql Query

Nov 16, 2004

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.

Regards,
MillenniumIte.

Substring With Zero Length?

Sep 19, 2007

I'm using a substring expression in a Derived Column transformation to create a new column (string data) out of a segment of another. The length of the new column data is calculated at run time based on the contents of other columns, and under some circumstances may be zero.

Is this kocher, or will it lead to 'unpredictable' results? Coz unexpected results is what I'm getting, not in the row concerned, but in the rows following......

declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);

SET NOCOUNT ON
set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table'
if (@Name <> '')
begin
set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + ''''
end
EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery
end

Inside my business Intelligence Project I created:
-the shared data source with the connection String
- a data set :
CommandType = Stored Procedure
Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest
When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.

Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter...
So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name
allow blank value is checked and is non-queried

the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!

What is wrong? What I forgot??

Thankx for any help!

DTS & SP3: Chronic &#34;Invalid Parameter&#34; Error Remedied

Jan 7, 2001

FYI. Perhaps I missed it on the Fix List, but applying SP3 to my Win2K Professional workstation w/ SQL Server 7 Desktop Edition remedied a chronic error I'd been receiving when trying to open a pre-existing DTS package which resided on other servers. For weeks, no matter what I've tried, I've been getting a message box saying "Invalid Paramter". (I didn't go as far as an uninstall / re-install, but I did about everything short of that.) After applying SP3, the DTS packages open up easily.

SQLDescribeParam With Subselect: Invalid Parameter Number/Invalid Descriptor Index

Apr 21, 2008

Hello,

I've got the following query:

SELECT zA."ID" AS fA_A
, zA."TEXT" AS fA_B
, (
SELECT COUNT(zC."ID")
FROM Test."Booking" AS zC
) AS fA_E
FROM Test."Stack" AS zA
WHERE zA."ID" = ?

With this query I call:
- SQLPrepare -> SQL_SUCCESS=0
- SQLNumParams -> SQL_SUCCESS=0, pcpar = 1
- SQLDescribeParam( 1 ) -> SQL_ERROR=-1, [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid parameter number", "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Invalid Descriptor Index"

Is there a problem with this calling sequence or this query? Or is this a problem of SQL Server?

Regards
Markus

Pre-requisiste Install Error 87 Invalid Parameter From SQL 2005 Dev Ed On Server 2008 RC0

Oct 2, 2007

The subject pretty much sums the problem up. I am trying to get a database installed on Server 2008 RC0. The public information says SQL 2005 SP2 should work, but I cannot get the base SQL 2005 installed in order to apply the service pack. When I run the installation, I immediately get an error when trying to install the pre-requisites. Specifically, the .NET 2.0 Framework errors with code 87, "invalid parameter".

I have found a couple references to this error code, but nothing to do with Server 2008 and RC0. I have tried using a directory with no spaces, and tried the EXE vs ISO installation, but they everything fails. I don't know if there is a way to bypass the .NET 2.0 Framework install - since it's already on the machine anyway.

Thanks in advance for any help!

May 8, 2008



Hi all, mister
I want create a function but I get this error: Error Invalid use of side-effecting or time-dependent operator in 'EXECUTE STRING' within a function

I think in a function, cannot use temp tables, or calling exec or store procedures.

Which is the best solution for my issue ? develop store procedure ??

thanks.

CREATE FUNCTION fnObtenerTablaMaestra ()

RETURNS @T Table ( Descripcion VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, CIF VARCHAR(8) NULL )

AS

BEGIN

DECLARE @cmd nvarchar(max)

DECLARE @sql nvarchar(max)

DECLARE @nexoUNION NVARCHAR(max)

DECLARE @params nvarchar(max)

DECLARE @NombreTabla VARCHAR(MAX)

DECLARE @Descripcion VARCHAR(MAX)

DECLARE @CIF VARCHAR(MAX)

-- Cannot access temporary tables from within a function.

-- IF EXISTS (SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM tempdb.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE '#tmpTable%')

-- DROP TABLE #tmpTable

-- CREATE TABLE #tmpTable ( Descripcion VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, CIF VARCHAR(8) NULL )



SET @nexoUNION = NULL



DECLARE c1 CURSOR for

SELECT [CD_NOMBRE_TABLA], [DS_CAMPO_DESCRIPCION], [DS_CAMPO_CIF] FROM [TABLA_MAESTRA]



OPEN c1

FETCH c1 INTO @NombreTabla, @Descripcion, @CIF

--FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @NombreTabla, @Descripcion, @CIF

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS >= 0

--WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0

BEGIN

SELECT @sql =

'INSERT INTO #tmpTable

N'''+ @NombreTabla + '''

N'''+ @Descripcion + '''

N'''+ @CIF + ''''



SELECT @sql =

'SELECT ' + @Descripcion + ', '+ @CIF + ' FROM ' + @NombreTabla

IF @nexoUNION IS NULL

BEGIN

SET @nexoUNION = 'UNION'

END

ELSE

SET @sql = @nexoUNION + ' ' + @sql



-- EXECUTE (@sql)

--Exec(@sql)

FETCH c1 INTO @NombreTabla, @Descripcion, @CIF

--FETCH NEXT FROM c1 INTO @NombreTabla, @Descripcion, @CIF



END

CLOSE c1

DEALLOCATE c1

--SET @sql = 'SELECT Descripcion, CIF FROM #tmpTable'

-- Error Invalid use of side-effecting or time-dependent operator in 'EXECUTE STRING' within a function

EXECUTE(@sql)

RETURN

END

GO
