How To Pass A Table Name As A Parmater In SQL Task
Dec 22, 2006
I am trying to execute an SQL task in a ForEach container that is the table name for a select statment I want to execute (table name is passed from a rowset created before the ForEach container).
ForEach Container is looping correctly (I've used a watch to make sure each of the table names in the previous rowset are being passed correctly). I want to use the table name to execute the following query:
Select count(*) as TableRowCount from MyLinkedServer...?
(with ? as the table name)
Problem I am having is that the SQL Task Editor keeps placing a space between the last period and the parameter and then telling me it cannot parse the SQL.
I tried:
Declare @SQL varchar(255)
Set @SQL = 'Select count(*) as TableRowCount from MyLinkedServer...' + ?
Exec(@SQL)
Same error as above. My parameter is varTableName
If I used the Declare and hardcode the table name (i.e. MyLinkedServer...MyTable), and it works fine. Just doesn't seem to want to allow the table name as a parameter...
Thoughts, ideas??? Am very new to SQL 2005 but did the above with DTS... Thank you for any assistance...
In the XML Task if you set the OperationType to XSLT, how do you pass arguments to the Transform like you would in .Net by using the XsltArgumentList class? Thanks.
How do I pass the results of a sql 'FOR XML' query to an XML Task? I tried using a user variable of type string. In my Exec SQL Task on the General tab I set the ResultType to XML. Then on the Result Set tab I map it (Result 0) to my user variable (string). Then in the XML Task I use that variable as the Source. However, it fails in the Exec Sql Task with error "End tag 'CustomJob秱孒秱怈пField' does not match the start tag 'CustomJobField'
It looks like some extraneous chars are getting inserted into my tags? I also tried setting the ResultType to SingleRow but that failed with error:
"The type of the value being assigned to variable "User::ForXmlResult" differs from the current variable type. Variables may not change type during execution. Variable types are strict, except for variables of type Object. ".
I am new to SSIS so I'm sure this is easy to do but I can't seem to figure it out. I created a SQL task that creates a result set. I would like to loop through each result of the result set and insert it into another table.
I'm not sure how to map the result set as input to the second SQL task that will do the insert. I can put the variable in the parameter mapping but I don't know what the SQL should look like to insert this into my table. Each row of the result set has five columns. Normally I have something that looks like INSERT...Values(?,?,?,?,?) but because my input parameter is just one result set object this doesn't work.
How can I pass a variable to a DataReader in a DataFlow task?
My SqlCommand for the DataReader is: SELECT CustName, CustCode FROM Customers WHERE CustCode = '?'
The DataFlow task is nested in a ForEach loop. I confirmed that the variable is changing with each loop by using a ScriptTaks and a message box. However, the DataReader SqlCommand does not seem to be updating.
I want to pass a dataset to my .net script task as an object. I know how to declare an Obect variable and map the result set of my Execute SQL task to the Object variable lets say tbl1. Then on the Advanced Menu of .Net Script task I input tbl1 as my ReadOnlyVariable. But once in the design view of the .Net Script I am unable to get and work with every row of the my tbl1 variable.
I have a DTS package of SQL server 2000 which has two "Execute SQL Task", which gets maximum ID (call it maxID1) from table1 in mysql and maximum ID (call it maxID2) from table 2 in sql server. Those 2 as global variables passes into a data flow which grabs all data from mysql's table1 with its ID > maxID2 and ID <= maxID1 and insert into SQL server table3. This package is working so far.
My question is how to achieve the same thing in SSIS? I created two "Execute SQL Task", which will get maxID1 and maxID2, and one "Data Flow Task". But how to pass those 2 parameters into that "Data Flow Task" without using "Script Task"?
Hi all--I am writing a DTS package looking to back up all databases in sequence from a specific instance of SQL Server. I am calling CDOSYS in a stored procedure from support.microsoft.com to send email upon failure. I have two types of SQL tasks I am writing into the DTS package:
1. backup database <database> to disk = '<drive>:<path>.bak' with init
2. Upon failure of a particular database to back up to file, execute the following SQL task:
SELECT @srvname = @@servername select @db_name = db_name() set @msg = 'Hi--check your database backups. The ' + @db_name + ' database backup on ' + @srvname + ' has failed. Thanks--SQL Server';
SELECT @srvname, @db_name, @msg
(Many thanks to Whitney Weaver and SQL_Menace for help with sections of this code)
Upon success of #1 and/or #2, go on to the next database, repeating cycle of the SQL tasks above for the next database in the task. For example, this logic goes like:
1. Back up master database; if fails, send email in SQL task; if either task is successful, goto database #2;
2. Back up model database; ...<etc>.
My problem is the current database set in @db_name. I apparently need to reset this variable for each database that gets backed up, and I can't seem to get these set as values to be passed from SQL Task #1 to SQL Task #2. Any suggestions on how I might achieve this?
Dear All! I use a "Execute SQL Task" to call a Stored Procedure. My Stored Procedure have an input parameter with type: ntext. And in "Execute SQL Task", I set variable in Parameter Mapping as following:
Variable Name: User::xmlDocument (this variable is a String to store xml data) Direction: Input DataType: NVARCHAR ParameterName: 0
When length of "User::xmlDocument" is too large then error is happen but on the contrary, "Execute SQL Task" run successfully. So, Can you show me how to pass large data into stored procedure using "Execute SQL Task"? I am looking forward to hearing from you Thanks
I have One package that it contains one Execute SQL task in that i have placed a Stored procedure . Now i want to pass values to Stored procedure parameters from a databse table by dynamically .For this i am trying to use " Script task " How can i pass that table column values to that stores procedure thru using Script Task?
I have a ForEachLoop parent pkg that reads thru the file system of dtsx to be executed.
I would like to pass CLI parms to the command itself (dtexec). I'm not looking at passing values to the child pkgs but rather additional command line values such as:
/CONFIGFILE "C:myconfig.dtsConfig.
In my expression builder for the PackageName I added the additional string but during the execution, the reference to my dtsconfig is ignored without any errors and the child pkg runs using the default values provided at design time.
How do i use the foreach loop container and pass each file found according to a specified pattern to a Flat File Source in a Data Flow Task Object so i can operate on each file found in the foreach loop object instead of having to specify a static file name
I am calling one SSIS package from another using the Execute Package Task. I also need to pass a parameter to the called SSIS package. Can I do this? If yes, how? If no, then what will be the work-around for this?
Can a table be passed as parameter to a T-SQL procedure or function?One can define a temporary table within a procedure, and the system then manages its lifetime, keeps it separate from other instances executing the same procedure, etc: - CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.name (@Parameter1, @Parameter2) AS BEGIN DECLARE @name TABLE (column list) etcPerfect: but I need to be able to have another [recursive] procedure process this table. How do I make it available to the second procedure? If I write EXEC procedure @Namean error message "Must declare the variable '@Name'" is produced. Within the 2nd procedure, an attempt to name a table within the parameter list results in another error message, "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'TABLE'". If I can't pass it as argument/parameter, then how do you process a temporary table in another procedure? Do I pass a cursor to it? Or is it quite impossible?Regards, Robert Barnes.
Hi Friends, Is it possible to pass the name of table to the User Defined Function in SQL and use it inside the function. Any help would be appreciated. Fazal.
I am writing a (very simple) stored procedure that counts records on a table. The stored proc is as follows: ------------------------------------------ CREATE PROCEDURE GetRecordCount @TableName varchar(30), @NumRecs int OUTPUT AS
DECLARE @sqlcmd varchar(250) SET @sqlcmd = 'SELECT @NumRecs = COUNT(email) FROM ' + @TableName + 'WHERE Include = "Y"' EXEC (@sqlcmd) ------------------------------------------ The intention is to return variable @NumRecs. I am calling the routine from Query Analyzer as follows:
When I execute the above line, I get an error message: Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 0 Must declare the variable '@NumRecs'.
If I replace the "SET @sqlcmd = .." AND "EXEC(.." with: SELECT SELECT @NumRecs = COUNT(email) FROM MyTable etc. i.e. without passing the table name, the process works fine. How can I construct an sql command using a parameter?
I have several tables which are all identical in columns and datatypes. I want to create a function which does some calculations on this tables.
Since I just want to create one function I Need to specify the table on which the function should work on. That means i want to pass the table Name as a Parameter to the function.
How do I pass back only one value, such as TotalJobPrice from the tblJobRecords when I know which JobID to Select. All I want is the TotalJobPrice returned from the UDF, not a record from the table. I can write a UDF that will return a table, but I don't know how to get the one field of data from that table of one row that can be returned from a UDF that returns a table. I want to be able to write something like this: @TotalJobPrice = fnTotalJobPrice(@JobID) Hope that is clear. Thanks in advance,
Hi Friends,Is it possible to pass a table as a parameter to a funtion.whos function declaration would look some thing like this....ALTER FUNCTION TempFunction (@TempTable TABLE, @nPId INT)my problem is: i have to access a temporary table created in an SP ina functionALTER PROCEDURE MySPBEGIN....DECLARE @TmpTable TABLE(...)....TempFunction(@TmpTable)....ENDThanksArunDhaJ

please anyone give the sample control flow and how to pass the parameter?
Hi all,Seems like a fundamental question to me but I dont have a definiteanswer for it, Gurus please enlighten me.I have a table 'Table1' whose structure changes dynamically based onsome configuration values from another table. This table is being usedby a program, It was initially used by this program which ran as asingle task (executing at only a specific interval) but now the programhas to be run mutiple times some coinciding with each othe - whichmeant that table structure will change as 2 programs are runningsimultaneously... and therefore I have decided to use seperate tablenames that each has a structure of its now.I use this table name 'Table1' in about 10-15 stored procedures andUDF'sto make the long story short: Since I will not know which table I willbe using in the program I want to pass the table name as an argument tothe SP and UDF's and then access this param in the'select's/updates/inserts' - but this doesn't work unless I use DynamicSQL.Is there any other way of passing table names as parameters and thenusing then in the procs?any ideas will be really helpful.adi
I am using SQL2005 and would like to know if it is possible to pass a table name as an input parameter in a stored procedure?? I am struggling to get it to work.
For example:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.StartBlock
@TableName varchar(30),
@minX float OUTPUT,
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SET @minX = (SELECT min(X) as mX
FROM @TableName);
END
GO
The above does not work and give the following error
Hey folks, the question is fairly simple, unfortunately the answer has proven rather elusive.
Is it possible to declare a variable which would then be used to identify either a column or table in an SQL statement?
Here's a basic idea of what I'd like to do:
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT * FROM @myVar
or
DECLARE @myVar AS NVARCHAR(50)
SELECT @myVar FROM MyTable
I'm probably looking for some sort of built in function that will accept an argument here... like COLUMN(@myVar) or something of the like. I just don't know where to look...
Dear Techies,I making one stored procedure, which does some operation based on aninterface hash (#) table ---- name #mydata.This stored has two section of code (seperated by parameter value 0and 1)But hash table #mydata (same name) number/name of columns changes asper call 0 or 1.e.g.when call for 0, ----> Pass 2 columns as company_cd and section_cd ininterface hash (#) table ---- name #mydata.when call for 1, ----> Pass 3 columns as Section_cd, line_cd andsubline_cd in interface hash (#) table ---- name #mydata.As a result, none of the case (0 or 1) is running properly, It givesproblem.When I execute procedure for 0 by passing #mydata with two columns---> it gives problem in 1 section codeAnd When I execute procedure for 1 by passing #mydata with threecolumns ---> it gives problem in 0 section codePlease suggest !!! If anybody have faced the same problem or have anyidea about this case.(I think passing hash table with 3 column as col1,col2,col3 can servethe purpose, but this may cause rework in my case, so looking foralternate solution)Thanks in Advance,T.S.Negi
I need to create a Stored Procedure in SQL server which passes 6 input parameters Eg:
ALTER procedure [dbo].[sp_extract_Missing_Price] @DisplayStart datetime, @yearStart datetime, @quarterStart datetime, @monthStart datetime, @index int as
Once I declare the attributes I need to create a Temp table and update the data in it. Creating temp table
Once I have created the Temp table following query I need to run
SELECT date FROM #tempTable WHERE #temp.date NOT IN (SELECT date FROM mytable WHERE mytable.date IN (list-of-input-attributes) and index = @index)
The above query might return null result or a date .
In case null return output as "DataNotMissing" In case not null return date and string as "Datamissing"
I have a temporary table with multiple records and a Stored Procedure requiring a value. In a Stored Procedure, I want to loop through records in the table and use the value from each record read as input to another Stored Procedure. How do I do this?
