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 ')'.
Hi, I am new at sql 2000 and 2005, I have created a package in 2005 which I am trying to execute on a daily bases by creating a job. At first because of security issues the job would not execute. Hence, I had to create a credential and a proxy to run the job with sa account. Now it is giving me this error, €œSQLServer Error: 536, Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. €œ Through research I have no clue as what I need to do, or where to look. The package runs without error when I execute the package itself. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lori
Hi i got errro mess "Invalid length parameter passed to the substring function" from this below. Anyone how can give me a hint what cause this, and how i can solve it? if i remove whats whitin thoose [] it works, i dont use [] in the code :) colums: VLF_InfectionDestination is nvarchar 254

I'm trying to replace a view with stored procedure for faster performance. the View is called by end user using a query as below, I need to pass the date as parameter for sp to execute with quotes for it to execute with correct results. Â I tried to pass the date as parameter but could not execute stored procedure with correct results. Is there any way to put quotes around returned date from sub query :Â
Execute statement is like Exec dbo.storedProc1Â select max(date) from table
I need to pass the above as :
Exec dbo.storedProc '2015-03-24'Â .
Somehow passing the date as parameter is giving me empty result set.
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......
and this give's us the string part AFTER the , so that part is correct!
but I can't find out how to do the same thing but then for using everything BEFORE the ,
...
anyone got an idea? just changing Right with Left give's us (for example): http://thisisa instead of http://thisisatest.com (he's counting the number of characters from the right to the , and then displays the characters starting from the left but only the number of characters he counted previously) ...

Having a whale of a time, having tried almost every approach, except obviously the right one.
I have employee_no which is character size 10. It is right-justified for some reason. I'm using SUBSTRING to peel off the last five digits (it's going to a flat file where only 5 chars are allowed).
Now I just need to Left Justify the return string. What should I add to this statement
substring(employees.employee_no,6,8)
My return is this:

Many thanks in advance, you guys are amazing. lisa
is there any way or a tool to identify if in procedure the Parameter length was declarated less than table Column length ..
I have a table
CREATE TABLE TEST001 (KeyName Varchar(100) ) a procedure CREATE PROCEDURE SpFindNames ( @KeyName VARCHAR(40) ) AS BEGIN SELECT KeyName FROM TEST001 WHERE KeyName = @KeyName END KeyName = @KeyName
Here table Column with 100 char length "KeyName" was compared with SP parameter "@KeyName" with length 40 char ..
IS there any way to find out all such usage on the ALL Procedures in the Database ?
I've tried the following query in SQL SERVER 2005, SQL Express and MACCESS.
select * from Table1 where drid in (SELECT DrID FROM Table2 WHERE (substring(PostalCode,1,3) IN ('B0E','B1P','B2H','B2Y','B3A','B3M','B4A','B4H','E1A','E1C','E1N','G0A', …)) and (substring(Telephone,1,3) IN ('204','250','306','403','416','418','450','506','514','519','604','613','705','780','807','819','902','905')))
The query is using two table. The first one Table1 is a table with user info. The second table Table2 has the info concerning a survey.
The Table1 containt approx. 6000 row and Table2 containt only 210 rows
The table structure from the different environment(MACCESS, SQL SERVER 2005, Sql Server Express 2005) are the same. The Table1 containt the field "PostalCode" and "Telephone".
When I execute this query on MACCESS and in SQL Server 2005 the result are approximately the same(Less than half second). But there a performance issue in Sql Express 2005. The query take an execution time between 7 and 9 secondes.
When I add a condition using a field from tblResponsePQ2Part1 ex: QA=1 like in the following query : select * from Table1 where drid in (SELECT DrID FROM Table2 WHERE (QA = 1 substring(PostalCode,1,3) IN ('B0E','B1P','B2H','B2Y','B3A','B3M','B4A','B4H','E1A','E1C','E1N','G0A', …)) and (substring(Telephone,1,3) IN ('204','250','306','403','416','418','450','506','514','519','604','613','705','780','807','819','902','905'))) the query take an execution time of ~15 secondes!!!!
This issue only happen in Sql Server Express, on the others cases(mean MSAccess, Sql Server) the execution time is less than half second.
It’s weird because, Sql Express 2005 is supposed to be more performant than MACCESS, and have the same performance than Sql Server Professional Edition. Please Help Me!!!!
I have an application providing me with multiple headers which I havemergerd into one big header (below), this header my not always be thesame but I need to be able to extract a periodstart and periodend fromit. The periodstart will always be the third substring from the end(or 3rd from right) and the periodend will always be the firstsubstring from the end (or 1st from the right).How can I extract the periodstart and periodend?E.g:- Header'Jensen Alpha TR UKN GBP BM: Caut Mgd BM (50% FTAllSh 50% ML £ BroadMkt) RF DEF:RFI 3Y 31/08/2004 To 31/08/2007'I currently have the sql: convert(Datetime,(dbo.FDHGetWord(@FullHeader, 20)) ,103) but this only works in thisinstance, I need to use someting like the RIGHT function or REVERSEfunction but I can't get the sql right.Can someone please help!????
Hello, since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest] @Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS BEGIN
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!!
I need to left pad the column with 0 if it is less than 4 characters long and extract the first 2 characters on the left into a new column COUNTY_CODE.
How can I do that in transact SQL?
I tried: Â Â Â Â SELECT Â RIGHT(RTRIM('0000'+ISNULL([Code],'')),4) Â Â Â Â Â FROM [Place] Â Â WHERE [Place Code]='B' and [Code]='627'
And I got 0627. And how do I extract the first 2 characters?
I have a field that contains data such as 'ACB00/02'. How would I write into a function that gathers a load of data together for me a peice of code that will grab only the first 2 chars of the afore mentioned value, So the result would be in the new created colum in a temp table 'AC'.
This is to occur over 7,000 records but they are not all AC, I just want the first two from every line.
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.
I'm trying to create a function that splits up a column by spaces, andI thought creating a function that finds the spaces with CHARINDEX andthen SUBSTRING on those values would an approach. I get an errorsaying that the I have an Invalid column 'Course_Number'. Not surewhy but I am very new to User Defined Functions.

I am quite new to SSRS and am having some difficulties in trying to develop a new report via Business Intelligence Studio based on a stored procedure which requires the input of 1 parameter, and also has an optional parameter which I default to NULL in the sproc.
When I create my dataset I select the given sproc I want and when I attempt to execute it, I am prompted for the parameters the sproc expects.
However, when I enter a value in the dialog for the required Parameter I get a SQL error indicating that the parameter the sproc expects was not supplied. I have profiled the call and see the attempt to execute the sproc, but no parameter value.
Can some one tell me why the value I enter is not being passed to the sproc in my database ? Is there some special syntax that I need to use ?
I have scanned a number of sites & through the books I have and can't find anything on this. From what I have read, when I exec my sproc the parameters get recongnized & I can just enter my values. This doesn't seem to be the case.
Any help and/or suggestions are appreciated !!! Thanks.
I have a requirement where, I need to get the value of parameter from a query string of url and use it in my report. Ex:- http://www.mysite.com?name=bobby
From the above url, I have to take the value of name and be able to use it in my report query or assign to a parameter.
I have a boolean parameter on my report that the user will enter. Currently, it shows as an option button with True/False beside each option as the words used. Is it possible to have a check box instead of an option button for the user instead? Thanks in advance!
when i tried to run a DTS which transfer bulk data between 2 SQL servers, i got following error message: ================================================== ============ Error: -2147467259 (80004005); Provider Error: 4815 (12CF) Error string: Received invalid column length from bcp client.

if anybody has encounter the same problem before? after testing, i think it's must related with network traffic problem. but i can not figure out how to solve it.
