T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Finding Stored Procedure Defaults For Parameters

Jun 2, 2014

I have various ways of getting the parameters of a stored procedure:

I have a procedure that has all defaults 4 are null and 2 are 0.

The following shows most of what I need but no defaults

SELECT PARAMETER_NAME ,
ORDINAL_POSITION ,
DATA_TYPE ,
CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH ,
CHARACTER_OCTET_LENGTH ,
NUMERIC_PRECISION ,

[Code] ...

This one has two values:

PARAMETER_HASDEFAULT (always 0) and PARAMETER_DEFAULT (always 0)
sp_procedure_params_rowset proc procedure

Is there something else that would tell me if there is a default on a parameter and what the default is if there is one.

Data Import Excel XML Defaults Which File Governs Excel Defaults?

Jul 21, 2015

I'm importing a multi tab spreadsheet using Import wizard, which I understand to use the same internals as SSIS. The total number of columns in the spread sheet will be over 500. The import wizard defaults everything to varchar 255. I understand there is an XML file I can manipulate to change this and they are located

C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server100DTSMappingFiles

Assuming one of these will control Excel defaults, which one is it? None of the names lend themselves to the Excel as a source. SqlClientToMSSql10?

SQL Paramters

Nov 4, 2007

I am in a SQL Class and I am starting to learn about SQL Parameters in conjunction with using them from a C# program. I have a couple of questions.

1. When I include an Output parameter in the list or paramters that I send, SQL always is returning a message indicating that the parameter was missing, when I know in fact that I am passing the paramter (@RtnMsg)

2. When I remove any reference to "@RtnMsg", which it can not find, and execute the stored procedure it always returns a -1 and never inserts the record.

Here is my code for the stored procedure....


ALTER procedure [dbo].[Insert_Biblio]

@ISBN as char(11),

@CALL_NO as char(20),

@DEWEY_NO as char(20),

@AUTHOR as char(5),

@TITLE as char(100),

@AUTHOR_BORN as int,

@AUTHOR_DIED as int,

@PUBLISHER as char(30),

@YEAR_PUBLISHED as int,

@BOOK_INFO as char(49),

@BOOK_HEIGHT as int,

@BIBLIO_INFO as char(100),

@COST as money,

@TOPIC_1 as char(30),

@TOPIC_2 as char(30),

@RtnMsg as varchar(50) output

as

declare @Book_ID as char(5);

begin

Set @RtnMsg = 'Insert Successful'

return 0

select @Book_ID = max(book_ID) + 1

from collection

insert into biblio

(BOOK_ID,ISBN, CALL_NO, DEWEY_NO, AUTHOR, TITLE,

AUTHOR_BORN, AUTHOR_DIED, PUBLISHER, YEAR_PUBLISHED,

BOOK_INFO, BOOK_HEIGHT, BIBLIO_INFO, COST,

TOPIC_1, TOPIC_2)

values (@BOOK_ID,@ISBN, @CALL_NO, @DEWEY_NO,

@AUTHOR, @TITLE, @AUTHOR_BORN,

@AUTHOR_DIED, @PUBLISHER, @YEAR_PUBLISHED,

@BOOK_INFO, @BOOK_HEIGHT, @BIBLIO_INFO,

@COST, @TOPIC_1, @TOPIC_2)

return 0

end



Here is the C# program code (this version is the one where SQL tells me @RtnMsg is missint.

Really Easy One... How Do I Set Multi-value Paramters?

Nov 15, 2007

What is the proper syntax for the SET transact-sql for mult-value parameters? Is this even possible?





Code Block

declare @Name char(55);

set @Name = 'name1';


select *

from table1

where name in (@Name)

How do I write the SET line so that it will behave like this:

where name in ('name1','name2','name3')

I'm sure this is an easy one, I'm currently looking it up, but thought someone might be able to answer this for me quick.

Changes In Paramters In RS2005 Compare To RS2000

Nov 27, 2007

Hi there,

I've got a RS2000 report from Analysis services 2000. This report is working fine but after the upgrade to SQL2K5, i'm having issues with changes to parameters.

Basically i'm passing DateQuarter, CustomersLevel as parameters to the following mdx script. I've tried to change mdx script in RS2005 but no luck yet. I don't much about the parameter level changes in sql2k5. So can anyone suggest what is wrong in the script.




Code Block
RS2000

="with " &
"member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)' " &
"set [Rolling Quarters] as '" + Parameters!DateQuarter.value +".lag(4):" + Parameters!DateQuarter.value + "'" &
"SELECT " &
"{[Measures].[Ex Price]} ON COLUMNS , " &
"filter({CrossJoin([Items by Class].[Item Class Description].members, [Rolling Quarters])}, [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on Rows " &
"FROM Sales " &
"WHERE (" & Parameters!CustomersLevel.Value & ")"

RS2005

with
member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)'
set [Rolling Quarters] as '@DateQuarter' +'.lag(4):' + '@DateQuarter'
SELECT
{[Measures].[Ex Price]} ON COLUMNS ,
filter({CrossJoin([Items by Class].[Item Class Description].members, [Rolling Quarters])}, [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on Rows
FROM Sales
WHERE STRTOSET(@CustomersLevel)


Thanks in advance,

Problem With Non Multi-value Paramters After Installing SP2 CTP

Nov 14, 2006

Hello,

I just installed the new SQL 2005 sp2 CTP on my stand alone report server. Now whenever a parmeter is not multi-value I get


One or more data sources is missing credentials


when clicking off the parameter. If I set the parameter to multi-value it works fine but confuses the users.




Does anyone know how to debug this or if a fix is available ? Yes it was working before I installed the service pack.

How Does MS ReportingServices Derive Oracle Paramters

Apr 28, 2008

We are using MS Reporting Services to generate Xmls for corporate billing statements. Our DBAs found that MS ReportingServices are querying Oracle Catalogue before executing stored procedures in RDLs to get Oracle parameter information. Is there a way to eliminate the trip to database before executing the stored procedures?

ADO Connection.Open Hangs If Paramters Are Wrong

Nov 5, 2007

Hi
Im writing a program that stores data to SQL server 2005.
Program writen on VC++ 2003.
Code is very simple and it works ok if server runs and parameters are ok.


try

HRESULT hr = m_Connection.CreateInstance(__uuidof(ADODB::Connection));

String ConnectionStr;

ConnectionStr.Format(_T("Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=%s;Initial Catalog=MyDB;User Id=%s;Password=%s;"),m_Server.c_str(),m_Username.c_str(),m_Password.c_str());

_bstr_t bstrConnection(ConnectionStr.c_str());

hr = m_Connection->Open(bstrConnection, L"", L"", ADODB::adConnectUnspecified);
}
catch(_com_error &e)

{

_bstr_t Description = e.Description();
}

But!
if i give wrong paramterer for Data Source , it may happen if user configures it and misprints it, or if server goes offline for some reason, program just hangs on m_Connection->Open and never gives exception as it should.
Any ideas what wrong?
Thanks.

Custom Parameter For Select Paramters - How To Use The Value Of Another Field As The Paramter Default.

Mar 5, 2008

SELECT     ArticleID, ArticleTitle, ArticleDate, Published, PublishDate, PublishEndDateFROM         UserArticlesWHERE     (ArticleDate >= PublishDate) AND (ArticleDate <= PublishEndDate)
When I use the above on a GridView I get nothing.  Using SQL manager it works great.
I don't know how to pass the value of the ArticleDate field as a default parameter or I think that's what I don't know how to do.
I am trying to create a app that I can set the dates an article will appear on a page and then go away depending on the date.
 Thanks for any help!

BCP Defaults To 8.0 Instead Of 9.0

Sep 13, 2007

I have a 64-bit box with SQL 2000 and 2005 installed on it. At the command prompt, typing BCP -v gives me the 8.0 version, not 9.0. I really want the 9.0 version as the default. Obviously typing
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90 oolsinncp" gives me the 9.0 version.

My PATH variable looks like this:
Path=C:WINDOWSsystem32;C:WINDOWS;C:WINDOWSSystem32Wbem;C:Program FilesAT

Do I dare change the order so it looks in the 9.0 directories first? Or is this by design?

WeekDay Defaults...

Feb 27, 2001

Hi!
I´m experiencing problems with datepart(weekday,...) function. In particular with week 54 of 2000... (by the way, don´t make a bet about that, because Jan 1st. was saturday (last day of week) and year 2000 was a leap year!!!, so Dec 31 became the one and only case of 54 weeks... in our calendar).
Is there a way I can fix sunday as first day of week, instead using SET DATEFIRST in every procedure? (because "somebody" puts MONDAY as a default in spanish)
Thanx in advance,
César.

DateTime Defaults

I'm having some problems when trying to import an external table into my SQL Server 7.0 DB. When date fields are being created the datatype is being set to smalldatetime which is causing errors because some of the data in the source table is using dates proir to 1900.

Is there a way I can set the datatype to be set as datetime instead of smalldatetime?

Overriding Defaults

Sep 26, 2007

I have a stored procedure that has @BeginDate and @EndDate as parameters. I created a report with a default for both. They run just fine. After I deployed, I created Linked Reports and wanted to override the defaults. In the defaults, I tried to put in GetDate() for @BeginDate and GetDate()+10 for the @EndDate so this can be passed in the where statement of the stored procedure. I get 'Syntax error converting datetime from character string.'

What I assume is that if I override the default, the stored procedure will process what I put in the @BeginDate and @EndDate parameters.

The where statement looks like:

and (m.BeginDate >= @BeginDate) and (m.EndDate <= @EndDate)

I'm using Reporting Services 2005 and SQL Server 2005.

Thanks, Iris

OLE DB Transformations And Column DEFAULTS

Jul 2, 2007

I have a column which uses a DEFAULT as GETDATE in one of my tables. When I execute a DTS package to insert data into it, the column values are all the same, but if I use SSIS, the dates differ slightly (by a few ticks after several rows, but not a consistent amount of rows).

Is there an explanation for this difference, and how can I correct this problem?

Parameters, Defaults, And Datatypes...oh MY!

Nov 28, 2007



Thanks in advance for fielding my question!

I have parameters (type=datetime) on a report whose values are populated from a query. This query just pulls a list of all the dates (all Sunday dates) in a table. I have the parameter set up to have the date as the value and then a string representation of the value as the label (ie 2007-11-25) to make it easier for the user.

I want to set up a default for this parameter that essentially takes today's date and calculates the previous Sunday's date so the parameter drop down defaults to last Sunday's date.

My expression works fine just to display it on the report in a text box. It calculates and displays last Sunday's date perfectly. BUT, it doesn't work when I use it in the expression for the parameter default - Im' assuming because the latter cares about data type?

here's my statement:

=Iif(Now.DayofWeek=1,dateadd("d",-1,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=2,dateadd("d",-2,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=3,dateadd("d",-3,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=4,dateadd("d",-4,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=5,dateadd("d",-5,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=6,dateadd("d",-6,Now),(Iif(Now.DayofWeek=7,Now,0)))))))))))))

In short all those if statements calculate the day of last Sunday's date based on Now()...so if it's Monday, subtract 1, if it's Tuesday, subtract 2...etc.... BUT this returns the time also - argh! Formats!

How can I format this so it will equate to my oracle date populating in my parameter list? Do I need to match the output of the above statement to the LABEL (ie, string) or the actual VALUE (ie, date). I've tried both. I've hacked at this thing for an hour and I'm sure it's so obvious!



Thanks!

SharePoint Set Server Defaults

Feb 22, 2007

Hi guys,

I have a problem when configuring SharePoint and RS on two boxes. (If install everything in one box is fine)

I have SQL SP2 + RS in one server and SharePoint on the other server. I've followed every step in the SQL 2005 Online Book to configure the RS and SharePoint including:

How to: Install the Windows SharePoint Services Object Model on a Report Server Computer. (Done)
How to: Configure Service Accounts (Reporting Services Configuration). (Done)

However, I got an error when click "Set server defaults" in SharePoint Central Admin:
An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode.

In ReadMe of SQL SP2, see below: http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/d/c/fdcb3a53-0cb1-4e67-a1b6-45b89b3c59cf/readme_rsaddin.htm#_rsshare_known_problems_7

---
6.4 Service account requirements for Reporting Services


Restrictions on using built-in accounts apply to some deployment topologies of Reporting Services that include a report server running in SharePoint integrated mode. The following combination of factors will result in service account requirements:

The report server is integrated with a SharePoint farm comprising more than one computer.


The report server and SharePoint Central Administration Web site run on separate computers.



In this scenario, if either the Report Server Web service or Windows service runs under a built-in account such as NetworkService, the Grant database access option in SharePoint Central Administration will not work correctly. Consequently, accessing any Reporting Services feature through a SharePoint site will result in the following error:

"An unexpected error occurred while connecting to the report server. Verify that the report server is available and configured for SharePoint integrated mode. --> Server was unable to process request. --> Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text.xml'."

To avoid this error, choose one of the following approaches:

On the computer that hosts the report server, continue to run the Report Server Web service as NetworkService and add the built-in account, such as NT_AUTHORITYNetworkService to the WSS_WPG Windows group.


Configure the service accounts to run under a domain user account as follows:



Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server.


Click Windows Service Identity, click Windows Account, type a domain user account, and click Apply.


Click Web Service Identity, for Report Server, click New, type an application pool name, click Windows Account, type a domain user account, and click Apply.


Reset IIS.


Restart the Windows service.

---

I did try it out but still get the error when clicking "Set server defaults" link in SharePoint Central Admin.

Is there something wrong with the two boxes installation???

Hope the MS guys can help.

SqlParameter Defaults To Nvarchar For Strings

Aug 2, 2006

We've got an app that is in final testing so we can't go around forcing SqlDbType.VarChar.  Is there any way to make SqlParameter default to varchar if you don't explicitly set a type for a string value?  It's bad for our db index usage because they're all varchar and nvarchar forces a convert_implicit messing up performance.

Use DEFAULT CONSTRAINTs Or BOUND DEFAULTs?

Oct 30, 2005

I am doing a little research on Google about this topic and I ran intothis thread:http://groups.google.com/group/micr...dc13d4ee6758966I read SQL Server MVP Louis Davidson's post saying:"Actually they are more likely to drop the concept of bound defaults.Constraints are the standard way to do this, and really should be the wayyou create defaults anyhow."Even I read in the Microsoft SQL Server Introduction (SQL 7 bookpage 244, however we're using SQL Server 2000):"Constraints define rules regarding the values allowed in columns and arethe standard mechanism for enforcing integrity, preferred over triggers,rules, and defaults. They are also used by the query optimizer to improveperformance in selectivity estimation, cost calculations, and queryrewriting."Why constraint defaults are better? The second sentence about constraintshaving better optimization, I am guessing they don't mean this aboutDefault Constraints, rather the other type of constraints?Because I don't see how a Default Constraint have anything to do withperformance? Isn't default only to do with new records being created?At work we are setting all tables' columns to have constraint defaultsof 0 or ' ' (space character) in order not to have any column with theNULL value. Therefore we have dozens of files containing statements like:alter table TABLE1 add constraint TABLE1_ID_DFDEFAULT(' ') FOR IDgoalter table TABLE1 add constraint TABLE1_QUANTITY_DFDEFAULT(0) FOR QUANTITYgoFirst I was thinking to create 3 SQL Defaults called:DefaultZeroDefaultSpaceDefaultDateand then bind these defaults to all the columns of all tables excludingprimary keys. After creating the tables I would enumerate throughall the columns and bind one of these three Defaults based on theirdatatype:number = DefaultZerotext type = DefaultSpacedate type = DefaultDateAnd then unbind the ones that we specifically need to specify otherdefault values.So my question is should I do this by using sp_binddefault or stickwith using Default Constraints inside a table/columns loop code?Thank you

Changing SSIS Property Defaults

Sep 5, 2006

To make certain SSIS features work there are many properties that need to be set over and over for most containers in the package. For example with CheckpointRestart, you need to set (in most cases) all of the tasks' FailPackageOnFailure to True. If you miss one, the package may not restart properly and you might never know. There are other situations where as a development team we want certain properties to be usually set the same but differently from the SSIS default.

Is there a way to control the defaults that the SSIS IDE uses?

I remember back in classic VB that if you wanted to change the defaults of a bare form you could create a template form adjusted the way you like and put it in a templates folder. Then new forms added to a project would be based on the template form.

Merge Replication: Does It Support UDTs && Defaults

Feb 27, 2003

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help me with this little problem that im stuck with.
As part of the initial snapshot using merge replication, i am creating the initial schema on the subscriber database however it seems as though it does not like UDDTs or defaults and hence does not create them on the subscribers.

Its looking likely that I may have to create a script which executes on the subscriber which creates the initial schema then use merge replication to transfer data.

Does Merge Replication support UDTs/Defaults? If so how does it work?

Ive search many places though have come up with nothing.

Please help. = (
