Select Statement As Input Variable In Stored Procedure?
May 6, 2015
Is it possible to have an entire sql select statement as the input variable to a stored procedure? I want the stored procedure to execute the select statement.
ie.
exec sp_SomeFunc 'select * from table1 where id=1'
It may sound weird, but I have my reason for wanting to do it this way. Is this possible? if so, how do I implement this inside the stored procedure?
I am trying to Execute a Stored Procedure using Call OSQL from a .bat file, and passing a DOS variable to the Stored Procedure.
The DOS variable is established in the DOS command...
set SERVERJOB=JOBNAME
I have tried...
EXEC sp_procedure %SERVERJOB%
With this, I get an error...
sg 170, Level 15, State 1, Server ABCDEFGH, Line 20 Line 20: Incorrect syntax near '%'.
If I put the variable name in quotes on the EXEC statement above, the value used is the variable name, %SERVERJOB% itself rather than the value the variable was set to, which would be JOBNAME in the above example.
I'm seeing where previous developers have used a single stored procedure for multiple reports, where each report required different columns to be returned. They are structured like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetSomeData (@rptType INT, @customerID INT) AS BEGIN IF @rptType = 1 BEGIN SELECT LastName, FirstName, MiddleInitial
[Code] ....
As you can see, the output depends on the given report type. I've personally never done this, but that's more because it's the way I learned as opposed to any hard facts to support it.
Hi I am ramesh here from go-events.com I am using sql mail to send out emails to my mailing list
I have difficulty combining a select statement with a where clause stored in a variable inside a cursor
The users select the mail content and frequency of delivery and i deliver the mail
I use lots of queries and a stored procedure to retrieve thier preferences. In the end i use a cursor to send out mails to each of them.
Because my query is dynamic, the where clause of my select statement is stored in a variable. I have the following code that does not work
For example
DECLARE overdue3 CURSOR LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY FOR SELECT DISTINCT Events.E_Name, Events.E_SDate, Events.E_City, Events.E_ID FROM Events, IndustryEvents + @sqlquery2 OPEN overdue3
I get an error message at the '+' sign which says, cannot use empty object or column names, use a single space if necessary
How do I combine the select statement with the where clause?
Hello again folks, I've come crying for some more help :(
I have an sql query that runs fairly well and I'd like to make it a stored procedure.
The only hickup here is that I need to be able to send a field name in the select statement as a variable.
SQL Server does not allow this and I'm at a loss for the best way to handle it.
Thx for any help :)

I have a table that has a number of columns and rows and I need to run a stored procedure to extract data based on the column name and row name. Can anyone help me?
I have written a stored procedure which has in it a select statement. This returns a single record (I used the "top 1" line to ensure I only get a single record). I want to use a value returned by this statement (not the primary key) further on in the stored procedure - so assigning it to a variable would be handy.
Hi there, I am trying to return data from a select statement that is running a stored procedure.
I am running on SQL 2000 SP4. I have created a 'loopback' linked server as described in a technet article. (It's pointing at itself) I can then use the following select statement to get data back in the select statement from a stored procedure.
select * from openquery(loopback,'exec DWStaging.dbo.PokerStaging')
I am trying to get data back from my own Stored Procedure, but continue to get the following error:
Server: Msg 7357, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Could not process object 'exec DWStaging.dbo.PokerStaging'. The OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' indicates that the object has no columns. OLE DB error trace [Non-interface error: OLE DB provider unable to process the object:ProviderName='SQLOLEDB', Query=exec DWStaging.dbo.PokerStaging'].
If I try the same syntax with the sp_who stored procedure, it works and I get data back fine. But, If I try it with the sp_who2 stored procedure I get the same error as above.
select * from openquery(loopback,'exec sp_who') --> Works fine select * from openquery(loopback,'exec sp_who2') --> Doesn't work
Does anyone know what the difference is between the Stored Procedures that work with this syntax and those that don't? Is there a way I can change my stored procedure such that it would cause it to work?
PS: The following code was used to create the linked server, and then a security pass though as a certain account was addedDECLARE @provstr varchar (2000) SET @provstr = 'PROVIDER=SQLOLEDB;SERVER=' + @@SERVERNAME EXEC sp_addlinkedserver 'loopback', @srvproduct = 'MSSQL', @provider = 'SQLOLEDB', @provstr = @provstr
Hello,I have written a stored procedure where I prompt the user for the Year and the Month (see below)How do I take the variable @TheMonth and find out how many days is in the month and then loop to display a total for every day in the selected month.Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Is there a way to call a stored procedure within a SELECT statement?Example;-----------SELECT FirstName, LastName, (EXEC UniqueID_KEYGEN @keyval output) AS UniqueIDINTO #tNewEmployeeFROM EmployeeTable-----------SELECT *FROM #tNewEmployeeThe return from the temp table would have a unique ID ready to insert into another table. Our DBA has this stored procedure to create unique ID's and is to be used on all INSERTS. I was used to having a Identity field do this for me, I don't know why we have to do it his way. Except for the reason of sequence and easily get the next record. But we don't use URL variables, only FORM or SESSION.Thanks for your help in advance.
I have a stored procedure in an Informix-database that returns a string. Its used in a SELECT statement like this. SELECT t1.id, t2.id, sp_name(t1.id, t2.id) FROM table1 t1, table2 t2
I want to write it in SQLserver. I have tried this syntax but get error. Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 't'.
Can a stored procedure be executed from within a select statement?
Given a store procedure named: sp_proc
I wish to do something like this:
For each row in the table execute sp_proc 'parameter1', parameter2'... end for ...but within a select statement. I know you can do this with stored functions, just not sure what the syntax is for a stored procedure.
Can this be done? I want to call a stored procedure from inside a select statement. Since you can nest select statements, I thought it might be possible but I have no idea how to do it.

I need to run a stored procedure on all the results of a select query.For a simplified example, I'd like to be able to do something likethis:SELECT JobID, QtyToAddFROM JobsWHERE QtyToAdd > 0Then for the results of the above:EXEC sp_stockadd @JobID, @QtyToAddWhere the above line ran for every result from the above select query.Anyone able to shed some light on how to do this?Many thanks,James
Hi all,I have created this simple Stored procedure. But it gives me wrong result when I pass a parameter to it. But if I hard code it, it gives me the right result. The I check if the field value of 'Email' is exactly equal to the parameter '@Email'. The field 'Email' is varchar, and CID is integer. CREATE PROCEDURE EmailExists @Email varcharASSELECT CIDFROM CustomersWHERE Customers.Email = @Emailreturn Instead, if I check the value directly, it gives me correct answer. The the following code works fine when I typethe Email directly in the code. CREATE PROCEDURE EmailExists @Email varcharASSELECT CIDFROM CustomersWHERE Customers.Email = 'tomyseba@yahoo.com' return Can anyone tell me the reason for it. Thanking you in advance
I would like to have a stored procedure executed once a week via a DTS package. The data I would like inserted into Table_2, which is the table where the DTS is being executed on, comes from a weekly dump from Oracle into a Table_1 via another DTS package.
I would like to only import data since the last import so I was thinking of my logic to be like this:
INSERT INTO Table_2 (Field1, Field2, ... , FieldN) VALUES (SELECT Field1, Field2, ... , FieldN FROM Table_1 WHERE ThisDate > MAX(Table_2.ThatDate))
Does this make sense? Or do you all suggest a different mannger of accomplishing this?
Hi, [I'm using VWD Express (ASP.NET 2.0)] Please help me understand why the following code, containing an inline SQL SELECT query (in bold) works, while the one after it (using a Stored Procedure) doesn't:
Select columnname from tablename order by ordercolumn
We will call that "sp_foldersOfFile". It takes 1 parameter, a fileID (int) value.
The result when I execute this from within Management Studio is a single column of 1 to n rows. I want to use these values in another stored procedure like this:
Select @userCount = COUNT(*) from permissions where UserID = @userID and (projectid = @projectID or projectid=0) and clientid = @clientID and folderpermissions in (dbo.sp_FoldersOfFile(@fileID))
The Stored Procedure compiles but it does not query the folderpermissions in the selected values from the sp_FoldersOfFile procedure. I'm sure it is a syntax issue.
I have a stored procedure on a SQL Server 2008 database. The stored procedure is very simple, just a SELECT statement. When I run it, it returns 422 rows. However, when I run the SELECT statement from the stored procedure, it returns 467 rows. I've tried this by running both the stored procedure and the SELECT statement in the same SSMS window at the same time, and the behavior is the same. The stored procedure is:
USE [REMS] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [mobile].[GetAllMobileDeviceUsers] Script Date: 12/04/2014 */ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
[Code] ....
When I do this in the same SSMS window:
exec mobile.GetAllMobileDeviceUsers
SELECT ee.EmployeeID, EmployeeName = LastName + ', ' + FirstName FROM EmployeeInvData ee --UNION
[Code] ....
I get two result sets. The first is 422 rows; the second is 467 rows. Why?
I have a stored procedure that I have written that manipulates date fields in order to produce certain reports. I would like to add a column in the dataset that will be a join from another table (the table name is Periods).
USE [International_Forecast_New] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[GetOpenResult] Script Date: 01/07/2014 11:41:35 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
[Code] ....
What I need is to add the period, quarter and year to the dataset based on the "Store_Open" value.
For example Period 2 looks like this Period Quarter Year Period Start Period End 2 1 20142014-01-27 2014-02-23
So if the store_open value is 02/05/2014, it would populate Period 2, Quarter 1, Year 2014.
I know this is an easy one and I know I've read it somewhere, but I can't seem to write the correct format to run correctly. I am trying to build a SELECT statement base on the selected values of a dropdown list on a webform. The selected values will be part of the Table name.. ("client_info" & location_option.selecteditem.value) Can someone show me the correct syntax for adding a form variable into a SELECT statement? Thanks
I am using the lookup transform with the following settings:
Reference table: Use results of an SQL query. The query retrieves the surrogate key and four business key columns from a dimension table which contains a few thousand rows.
Columns: business keys in the incoming data are mapped to the business keys in the reference table, and the surrogate key is looked up from the reference table.
Advanced: Enable memory restriction is OFF (and the other items on the Advanced tab are greyed out).
I assumed that this means that the lookup transform would cache all of the rows in the SQL query, and then perform the lookups against this cache. This is the behaviour that I saw when I was running the package in my local environment in the BIDS debugger.
However, a colleague was doing some profiling on our production database server, and noticed that the lookup transform is instead issuing a single SQL query for each row of input. Our production ETL server has many GBs of free RAM available (way more than enough to cache the contents of the lookup table in memory), and given that memory restriction is disabled, I don't understand why the lookup transform is behaving in this fashion. Does anyone have an explanation for this? I'm probably misunderstanding a key concept here.
