Unknown Ammount Of Parameters, Parameterized Statement/split Strings In Transact Sql
Oct 26, 2007
Hello,
Is there any way to run a parameterized statement against SQL when you have an unknown ammount of inputs.
Instead of doing the following:
FOR i as integer = 0 to topValue
strWhere &= " OR myColName='"& myArr(i) &"'"
NEXT
wash up the string and submit this to SQL, I want to do it with parameters. I'm calling a sproc in SQL and I would prefer just to send in a string like "1,4,42',45" in a parameter split that in SQL and run my query.The query would be something like "...WHERE myColname=1 OR myColname=2 OR myColName=3" I only want to declare one parameter and not use string concatenation as described above.It doesn't matter if there's a split function in SQL or not, as long as it solves my problem in an efficient manner. Cheers!/Eskil
I'm using sql 2008 and triying to build a dynamic sql script to split the records 50/50.I know using newid() with order by clause selects randomly but how should I build the select statement to split the data 50/50 so i don't need to run the script manually everytime ?
If a procedure is known but all parameters are not known, can I handle this using CommandBehavior.RetrieveParameters. If yes, do I need to incur an extra round trip to server.
I'm trying to use a parameterized SELECT statement, but I must not have it right - the code below gives this compile error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Must declare the scalar variable "@UserID". string strUserID = (string)Session["UserID"]; string strSelectRatings = "SELECT [CommentID], [GameID], [UserID], [Rating], LEFT(Comment,40) as Comment FROM [Comments] WHERE [UserID] = @UserID"; SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("..."); SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(strSelectRatings, myConnection); myCommand.Parameters.Add("@UserID", strUserID); MySqlDataSource.SelectCommand = strSelectRatings; GridView1.DataBind();

However, I would like it to output;
Name Description Date How complex is the structure? The total value of assets? The volume of transactions undertaken? How was the client introduced? Where does the Customer reside?
[Code] ....
The number of questions are unknown for each RiskReviewID and they can be added to in the future.
Hello, I have been reading about how you shouldn't build dynamic SQL statements (see TextBox1.Text in line 3) and should use parameters instead, but I haven't yet found how to create a SELECT statement with a parameter that fills a dataset. If anyone can show me the correct way of doing this I would appreciate it so I can add it to my code snippets for proper coding practices. Thanks in advance for any assistance. string strConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["sqlConnectionString"].ConnectionString; SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection(strConnectionString); -> string sqlSelect = "select * from customers where city = " + "'" + TextBox1.Text + "'"; SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlSelect, myConnection); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); myConnection.Open(); da.Fill(ds, "myDataset"); myConnection.Close();
We are using a table that may give 1 to and unknown number of data elements (ie. years) .  How can we break this to show only three years in each row.  Since we don't know the number years we really won't know the number of rows needed.  Years are stored in their own table by line.   car make year1 year2 year3 A  volare 1995 1996 1997 a  volare 1997  1998  1999 b toyat  1965   1966  1968
We can pivot out the first X# but we don't know how many lines so we don't know how many rows we will be creating.
I have following requirement. From OLE-DB source I am getting IDS. Then lookup with some master data. Now I have only matching IDs. Now I need find some filed(say Frequency from some table for each above id). I already write stored procedure for same where I am passing ID as parameter.Which is working fine when I run it SQL server management studio.
Query is sort of
Select field1,fiel2... from table 1 where id = @id
@id is each ID from lookup
Now I want to call this stored procedure in Data flow. I tried it using OLE DB command but it did not return output of stored procudre. I am getting output same what ever I am passing input.
Is there way to do this? In short my requirement is execute parametrized select statement using data flow trasformation component.
We got this little issue of passing around (updated and inserting) small dataSets (20-500 or so records) from fat clients to a remote server running .Net / SQL 2005.
Instead of trying to fudge the data and make updates in .Net, we just decided it would be a lot less nonsense if we just wrap up the dataSets in an XML string, have .Net just pass it thru as a parameter in a SP and let SQL parse it out using openXML. The data is small and server is low use, so I'm not worried about overhead, but I would like to know the best methods and DO's & Don'ts to parse the XML and make the updates/inserts....and maybe a few good examples. The few examples I've come across are kind of sketchy. Seems it's not a real popular method of handling updates.
I'm trying to create an interface for filtering profiles from an SQLServer 2005 database using an html form. The form allows filtering based on a minimum level required in between one and four different columns. The first (and only mandatory) column to be filtered on has its name hard-coded into the base query. In trying to get the other three possible criteria to work, I've taken several approaches, all of which failed.The other three potential criteria are selected from a drop down menu on the form and ideally these choices are passed into a query to be used as column names. My first attempt looked like this: query = "SELECT * FROM profiles_tbl WHERE (EngSkill >= @english)" .... if ReqSkill1 <> "" then level1 = Convert.ToInt32(Request.form("minskilllvl1")) query = query & pickclmleft & ReqSkill1 & pickclmright1 cmd.Parameters.Add("@ReqSkill1", SqlDBtype.text) cmd.Parameters("@ReqSkill1").value = ReqSkill1 cmd.Parameters.Add("@level1", SqlDBtype.int) cmd.Parameters("@level1").value = level1 end if above If statement was repeated for 2nd and 3rd optionsSecond approach was to remove all parameters from sections of the query that were appended onto the original statement. This involved lots of strings containing AND clauses with hard-coded column names which were appended on when the corresponding option was selected in the form. Code looked like this: query = "SELECT * FROM profiles_tbl WHERE (EngSkill >= @english)" ASPqry = " AND (ASPlevel >= " try con = new SqlConnection() con.ConnectionString = “**************string was correct****************� cmd = new SqlCommand() cmd.Parameters.Add("@english", SqlDBtype.int) cmd.Parameters("@english").value = english if ReqSkill1 <> "" then if ReqSkill1 = "ASPlevel" then query = query + " AND (ASPlevel >= " level1 = Convert.ToInt32(Request.form("minskilllvl1")) if level1 = 0 then query = query + "0)" end if if level1 = 1 then query = query + "1)" end if if level1 = 2 then query = query + "2)" end if if level1 = 3 then query = query + "3)" end if end if end ifFinally when this too failed, I created four entirely separate queries, detected how many criteria were used, and used the appropriate query, passing necessary skill level in as a parameter. I'll provide code if needed here. Queries were written as strings and then used to set the CommandText property for an SqlCommand variable. I think it's important to note that in all cases the most basic version of the query worked. In the first, if only the first criteria was used the statement executed fine. Same in the second. In the third, whatever query could be assigned first (even though only one could be assigned because of logical structure of if statements) worked and none of the others would. This last case was tested even with completely hard-coded queries that SQL Server 2005 validated as correct and would run. Any help is greatly appreciated. Will post as much code as people want/need, and if I can get any one of these methods working I'll be thrilled. I have no need for all three. A.S. Moser
I want to retrieve data from SQL containing non English character but fail, can anyone shed me some light?
What I use currently:
Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "SELECT ArticleID, " strSQL &= "ISNULL(Body, '') AS Body, " strSQL &= "ISNULL(Subject, '') AS Subject " strSQL &= "FROM Articles " strSQL &= "WHERE (Subject LIKE N'%' + @Keyword + '%' OR [Body] LIKE N'%' + @Keyword + '%') " Dim con As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")) Dim cmd As New SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, con) cmd.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@Keyword", SqlDbType.NVarChar).Value = keyword ...
I'm not so sure where should I place the letter "N", I use :
SELECT ArticleID, ISNULL(Body, '') AS Body, ISNULL(Subject, '') AS Subject, FROM Articles WHERE (Subject LIKE N'%SomeNonEnglishString%' OR [Body] LIKE N'%SomeNonEnglishString%')
in Query Analzyer, it works! But it failed in my program... oh my god...
I'm using MS Report Designer 2005 and have created a report that uses a cube, with a dimension set up to convert null values to unknown (nullProcessing = UnknownMember).
When I create a parameter using the checkbox in the graphical design mode's filter pane, Report Designer automatically sets the constrained flag, eg:
When running the report and selecting the 'Unkown' value from the parameter list, the error 'the restrictions imposed by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOSET function were violated' occurrs.
How can I prevent the constrained flag from being used, or am I doing something wrong with converting null values to 'Unknown'?
I am trying to create a stored procedure that will take a text value passed from an application and update a table using the corresponding integer value using a CASE statement. I get the error: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'SET' when I execute the creation of the SP. What am I missing here? This looks to me like it should work. Here is my code.
CREATE PROCEDURE OfficeMove
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@UserName nvarchar(10),
@NewLocation nchar(5),
@NewCity nvarchar(250)
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from

SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
Execute as user = '***'
DELETE FROM [SQLSZD].[SZDDB].dbo.Employee_Office_Assignments
WHERE User_Name = @UserName
INSERT INTO [SQLSZD].[SZDDB].dbo.Employee_Office_Assignments
This is what I want to do:1. Delete all tables in database with table names that ends with anumber.2. Leave all other tables in tact.3. Table names are unknown.4. Numbers attached to table names are unknown.5. Unknown number of tables in database.For example:(Tables in database)AccountAccount1Account2BinderBinder1Binder2Binder3.......I want to delete all the tables in the database with the exceptionof Account and Binder.I know that there are no wildcards in the "Drop Table tablename"syntax. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to write this sqlstatement?Note: I am executing this statement in MS Access with the"DoCmd.RunSQL sql_statement" command.Thanks for any help!
We have been a Crystal shop for ages; we are currently doing a proof-of-concept for a conversion to MS Reporting Services. As such, we are developing some Analysis Services 2005 cubes to drive some new SSRS reports, which our users will access through Report Manager. Unfortunately, we are all MDX noobs here, so we are making heavy use of the Wizards until we can come up to speed.
The problem we are running into is when we develop a report with Date Parameters. When we deploy this report, the date parameter box is a dropdown box instead of a date picker. I've seen a couple of other posts on this topic, but when I try to apply the fixes mentioned in them, I throw errors.
I have two quick questions:
Why does this happen? Is it a limitation in the MDX language, in SSAS, or SSRS? Are there any planned fixes? Can someone please show me how to fix this on my actual query string for one of our basic reports? I've highlighted the date parameters.
Code Snippet
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Lead] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Store].[Store ID].[Store ID].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LeadSourceTypeLeadSourceType, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@StoreStoreID, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@FromLeadCreationDateCalendarDate, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@ToLeadCreationDateCalendarDate, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Referral Leads]))) WHERE ( IIF( STRTOSET(@LeadSourceTypeLeadSourceType, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1, STRTOSET(@LeadSourceTypeLeadSourceType, CONSTRAINED), [Lead Source Type].[Lead Source Type].currentmember ) ) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
I'm afraid, given my user community, that if I can't get the date picker to work properly, it could be a deal breaker.
SELECT * from tableeMass where Name=N'???' In the above select statement in microsoft SQL server 2005 ,I only want to select all the rows whose name is '???' a Gee'z string(Gee'z is set of Ethiopian characters) it is a unicode string(???=gebru in english,the reason why it is question mark is the characters are gee'z).When we execute the select statement, it brings all the rows instead of the rows whose name is '???'. why? the data type of column Name is nvarchar(50).would you please help me in tackling the problem. please reply me soon,I really need it badly soon for my project of Localized database development. thanks inadvance. gebru

I found string from net how to split column data to row
SELECT A.JbIDFull, A.ProdID, A.OrderQty, A.OtherDetails, A.OrderDate, c.Item FROM (SELECT JbIDFull, DeptID, ProdID, OrderQty, OtherDetails, OrderDate, LamORSteachType, JBID, RMIDs, RMQty FROM tblJobCardforProduction WHERE JBID = '2' AND DeptID = '3') A CROSS APPLY dbo.SplitStringNEW(a.RMIDs,';') b CROSS APPLY dbo.SplitStringNEW(a.RMQty,'/') c
When I apply one cross apply it's working fine but when i apply for one more column is replacing three time one row, this data i want to split RMIDs and RMQty with same JbIDFull

I have an application I write a textbox: 'SQL SQL' MICROSOFT 'SQL SQL'When I click a button, I wanted to receive as stored procedure parameter:@ String = 'SQL SQL "OR MICROSOFT OR MICROSOFT OR' SQL SQL '.
I've a table that has salescode(124!080) and salesamount(125.65!19.25) and I need to split the columns. Salesman(124) has commission(125.65). Here is the DDL:
USE tempdb; GO DECLARE @TEST_DATA TABLE ( DT_ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED , InvNoVARCHAR(10) NOT NULL , SalesCode NCHAR(80) NOT NULL
I have a parameter called Id in my SP which will be of nvarchar data type and i'm going to get the multiple ids at a time seperated by commas in that parameter from the application. Now my requirement is to update a table with these comma seperated ids in seperate rows.
For example, if i have 2 parameters called Id1 and Id2. Id1 will contain only one value and will be of int data type and Id2 will be of nvarchar data type as i can get multiple ids delimited by a comma from the application.
Suppose Id1 = 1 and Id2 = '1,2,3,4'. Then I have to update id2 in the tables seperately like wherever Id1 is '1' i need to update Id2 column for 4 rows with the value 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively in different rows.  how can i do this in T-SQL? How can i split the data of parameter Id2 in 4 different rows?
I have a table that has some comma separated values and then have another table with the lookup values. I"m not sure why it was created this way and have not had to do this. This is a vendor database so I can't go around and changing things.Â
Table AÂ IDStageIDs 188 288,86,87 388,87
Table B (Lookup table) IDName 86test1 87test2 88test3
I have an input parameter of an SP which value will be passed with different combinations with 2 seperators (comma and pipe)
Value to the parameter is like this :Â Â Â Â Â '10|22|microsoft,20|25|sql,30|27|server,40|29|product'
I want output like this
Column1Â Â Â Â Â Â Column2Â Â Â Â Â Column3 10Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 22Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â microsoft 20Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 25Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â sql 30Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 27Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â server 40Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 29Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â product
Pipe separator is for column and comma separator is for row.
I know if its a single separator, it can be done with function but how to do if its 2 separators?

I need to split a field based off it's length. Â Initial thought was to take Left(field, characters), and Right(field, characters), but now I see I am duplicating the data as I am capturing too much of the data in. Â However, what I actually need to achieve is in field1 capture the left 1000 characters, and in field 2 take from character 1001 to the end. Â How can I update my syntax so that field2 will ONLY capture from character 1001 to end?
field1 = COALESCE(CASE WHEN DATALENGTH(exitinterviewnotes) > 998 THEN LEFT(CAST(exitinterviewnotes AS VARCHAR(MAX)), 1000) ELSE exitinterviewnotes END,''), field2 = COALESCE(CASE WHEN DATALENGTH(exitinterviewnotes) > 998 THEN RIGHT(CAST(exitinterviewnotes AS VARCHAR(MAX)), 1000) END,'')
