Is there anyway to use a variable to define a column in a select statement. I can put the variable in but I'm sure it will be read as a literal instead of the column.
Hi,I'm trying to dynamically assign the table name for a SELECT statement but can't get it to work. Given below is my code: SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO
CREATE PROCEDURE GetLastProjectNumber (@DeptCode varchar(20)) AS BEGIN TRANSACTION SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @ProjectNumber int SET @ProjectNumber = 'ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.','') SELECT MAX(@ProjectNumber) FROM 'tbl_ProjectNumber' + REPLACE(CONVERT(char,@DeptCode),'.',''); END TRANSACTION Basically, I have a bunch of tables which were created dynamically using the code from this post and now I need to access the last row in a table that matches the supplied DeptCode. This is the error I get:Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure GetLastProjectNumber, Line 29Incorrect syntax near 'tbl_ProjectNumber'. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.
I have a stored procedure that accepts the table name as a parameter. Is there anyway I can use this variable in my select statement after the 'from' clause. ie "select count(*) from @Table_Name"? When I try that is says "Must declare the table variable @Table_Name". Thanks!
I'm trying to add a 'change password' control to my site and seem to be having some issues. I have code that works if I statically define what user is displayed on the form, but I cant get it to detect the 'authenticated' user and show them the reset for for that ID.If I take the "+ myid" out of the select statement and just define the username statically the form works properly. Error:System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The column prefix 'System.Security.Principal' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query. Here's a piece of the code that is supposed to detect the current logged in user. However, it gives the error. (some of the code may be redundant but its not causing issues that I can tell) public void InitPage() { IPrincipal p = HttpContext.Current.User; String myid = HttpContext.Current.User.ToString(); SqlServer sqlServer = new SqlServer(Util.SqlConnectionString()); DataTable dt; SqlConnection cnn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myconnection"].ConnectionString); SqlDataAdapter cmd1 = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from USER WHERE USER_NAME = "+ myid, cnn); DataTable UIDtable = new DataTable(); cmd1.Fill(UIDtable); User_Id.Value = UIDtable.Rows[0]["ID"].ToString(); dt = sqlServer.USER_SELECT(Util.SiteURL(Request.QueryString["Pg"].ToString()), User_Id.Value);
I have a table 'table_list' which contains two columns, table_name and a record_count. This table stores a list of tables and their corresponding record counts.
What I am trying to do is, to be able to write a select statement, that can read each table name in the 'table_name' column, execute a select count(*) for the same, and update its record_count with the result of select count(*).
This is the code in my procedure..
DECLARE @tab_list CURSOR set @tab_list = CURSOR FOR select * from table_list OPEN @tab_list
DECLARE @tab_name varchar(256) DECLARE @rec_cnt int FETCH NEXT FROM @tab_list INTO @tab_name, @rec_cnt
select count(*) from @tab_name
This select is looping around along with FETCH till all the table names are exhausted and their counts are updated from the cursor back into the table.
Problem is that, I am not able to use select count(*) from @tab_name, and its not accepting a variable there.
Please help me to construct the select statement that is similiar to
x=<table name> select * from x where x is a variable and the table name gets substituted.
name of variable: myVar Scope: Data Flow Task Data Type: String Value:SELECT hello FROM blah WHERE (azerty = @[User::pda]) AND (qwerty = @[User::phone])
@[User::pda] and @[User::phone] are also variables in SSIS just like the myVar I made
I know I'm doing something wrong with the data type because it's stores the whole select statement as a string
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_SelectMostRecentArticle]
AS BEGIN
DECLARE @article_id INT SELECT @article_id = ( SELECT TOP 1 article_id FROM article ORDER BY article_id DESC )
DECLARE @comment_count INT SELECT @comment_count = ( SELECT COUNT(comment_id) FROM comment JOIN article ON article_id = comment_article_id GROUP BY article_id HAVING article_id = @article_id )
SELECT TOP 1 article_id, article_author_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date, article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_id article_author_ip, author_display_name, category_id, category_name--, comment_count AS @comment_count
FROM article
JOIN author ON author_id = article_author_id JOIN category ON category_id = article_category_id
GROUP BY article_id, article_title, article_body, article_post_date, article_edit_date, article_status, article_author_ip,article_author_id, author_display_name, category_id, category_name
HAVING article_id = @article_id
END GO
as you can see, im trying to return a comment_count value, but the only way I can do this is by defining the variable.
I have had to do it this way, because I cannot say COUNT(comment.comment_id) AS comment_count or it returns an error that it cant reference the comment.comment_id.
But when change it to FROM article, comment; I get errors about the article_author_id and article_comment_id.
And i cant add a join, because it would return the amount of rows of the comment...
unless someone could help with what i Just decribed (as i would prefer to do it this way), how would i return the variable value as part of the select statement?
I am trying to figure out a way to retrieve a field value and assign it to a local variable with out destroying the whole structure of my T-SQL statement.
Here is the code:
DECLARE @AVERAGE_WHOLESALE_PRICE VARCHAR(20) DECLARE @ORDERBY VARCHAR(20) SELECT TOP 1 @AVERAGE_WHOLESALE_PRICE = P.NPT_PRICEX, CASE NPT_TYPE WHEN '07' THEN 1 WHEN '09' THEN 2
[Code] ....
The error message is Msg 141, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 A SELECT statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be combined with data-retrieval operations.
Everything about this query works except I'm trying to capture the @companyid (which is a variable) into a column in my table via my select statement.
My error is Invalid column name 'A113', etc. However it is the A113 I'm trying to insert into the first column of the table SAP_GLsummary
-- retrieves a list of gl balances from all companies truncate table sap_glsummary declare @companyID char(6) declare c_company cursor for select INTERID from dbo.GP_Interid open c_company fetch next from c_company into @companyID
In my program i have function that will get one value from Database. Here i want to assign the output of the sql query to a local variable. Its like select emp_id into Num from emp where emp_roll=222; here NUM is local variable which was declared in my program. Is it correct.? can anyone please guide me..?
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 have a table with Year , Account and Amount as fields. I want to
SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amt
FROM GLTable
WHERE Year <= varYear
varYear being a variable which is each year from a query
SELECT Distinct Year FROM GLTable
My thought was that I would need to pass a variable into a select statement which then would be used as the source in my Data Flow Task.
What I have done is to defined two variables as follows
Name: varYear (this will hold the year)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Name:vSQL (This will hold a SQL statement using the varYear)
Scope: Package
Data type: String
Value: "SELECT Year, Account, sum(Amount) AS Amount FROM GLTable WHERE Year <=" + @[User::varYear]
I've created a SQL Task as follows
Result set: Full Result Set
Connection Type: OLE DB
SQL Statement: SELECT DISTINCT Year FROM GLTable
Result Name: 0
Variable Name: User::varYear
Next I created a For Each Loop container with the following parameters
Enumerator: Foreach ADO Enumerator
ADO Object source Variable: User::varYear
Enumeration Mode: Rows in First Table
I then created a Data Flow Task in the Foreach Loop Container and as the source used OLE DB Source as follows
Data Access Mode: SQL Command from Variable
Variable Name: User::varYear
However this returns a couple of errors "Statement(s) could not be prepared."
and "Incorrect syntax near '='.".
I'm not sure what is wrong or if this is the right way to accomplish what I am trying to do. I got this from another thread "Passing Variables" started 15 Nov 2005.
SELECT TOP 1 @From = CONVERT(char,CreateDate,101) FROM CustomerInfo WHERE TicketNum = (SELECT TOP 1 TicketNum FROM CustomerInfo WHERE CreateDate <= DATEADD(mm, -30, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) ORDER BY CreateDate DESC) SELECT @To = CONVERT(char,GETDATE(),101)
SET @DBName = 'Archive_SafeHelp' CREATE DATABASE @DBName + ' ' + @From + ' ' + @To END
I am trying to create a database based on the name contained in the variables. I get the error 'Incorrect syntax near '@DBName'. How do i accomplish this?
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?
I tend to learn from example and am used to powershell. If for instance in powershell I wanted to get-something and store it in a variable I could, then use it again in the same code. In this example of a table order items where there are order_num, quantity and item_prices how could I declare ordertotal as a variable then instead of repeating it again at "having sum", instead use the variable in its place?
Any example of such a use of a variable that still lets me select the order_num, ordertotal and group them etc? I hope to simply replace in the "having section" the agg function with "ordertotal" which bombs out.
select order_num, sum(quantity*item_price) as ordertotal from orderitems group by order_num having sum(quantity*item_price) >=50 order by ordertotal;
Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000
Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)
Set @Counter = 0
while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount begin Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter) set @Counter = @Counter + 1 end
Insert into @Type(Name) Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL Select 'Type: GMC'
Insert into @Source(Name) Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL Select 'Source: USA'
Insert into @Users(Name) Select 'keith' UNION ALL Select 'kevin' UNION ALL Select 'chris' UNION ALL Select 'chad' UNION ALL Select 'brian'
select 1 ProviderId, -- static value '' Identifier, '' ClassificationCode, (select TOP 1 Name from @Source order by newid()) Source, (select TOP 1 Name from @Type order by newid()) Type
Hi - Is there a resource I can go to that lists people who I pay to talk me through stuff like getting SQL Server Express installed, get some sample data input and then get that data into Excel? I just cannot seem to get any help that works for me to learn SQL Server; the books are obtuse, the online help too indirect. Once I get something working I hope to enhance it on my own, but I have been stuck at the start for a very long time. There is stuff for me to do that is not getting done.
I am currently having this problem with gridview and detailview. When I drag either onto the page and set my select statement to pick from one table and then update that data through the gridview (lets say), the update works perfectly. My problem is that the table I am pulling data from is mainly foreign keys. So in order to hide the number values of the foreign keys, I select the string value columns from the tables that contain the primary keys. I then use INNER JOIN in my SELECT so that I only get the data that pertains to the user I am looking to list and edit. I run the "test query" and everything I need shows up as I want it. I then go back to the gridview and change the fields which are foreign keys to templates. When I edit the templates I bind the field that contains the string value of the given foreign key to the template. This works great, because now the user will see string representation instead of the ID numbers that coinside with the string value. So I run my webpage and everything show up as I want it to, all the data is correct and I get no errors. I then click edit (as I have checked the "enable editing" box) and the gridview changes to edit mode. I make my changes and then select "update." When the page refreshes, and the gridview returns, the data is not updated and the original data is shown. I am sorry for so much typing, but I want to be as clear as possible with what I am doing. The only thing I can see being the issue is that when I setup my SELECT and FROM to contain fields from multiple tables, the UPDATE then does not work. When I remove all of my JOIN's and go back to foreign keys and one table the update works again. Below is what I have for my SQL statements:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SELECT:SELECT People.FirstName, People.LastName, People.FullName, People.PropertyID, People.InviteTypeID, People.RSVP, People.Wheelchair, Property.[House/Day Hab], InviteType.InviteTypeName FROM (InviteType INNER JOIN (Property INNER JOIN People ON Property.PropertyID = People.PropertyID) ON InviteType.InviteTypeID = People.InviteTypeID) WHERE (People.PersonID = ?)UPDATE:UPDATE [People] SET [FirstName] = ?, [LastName] = ?, [FullName] = ?, [PropertyID] = ?, [InviteTypeID] = ?, [RSVP] = ?, [Wheelchair] = ? WHERE [PersonID] = ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The only fields I want to update are in [People]. My WHERE is based on a control that I use to select a person from a drop down list. If I run the test query for the update while setting up my data source the query will update the record in the database. It is when I try to make the update from the gridview that the data is not changed. If anything is not clear please let me know and I will clarify as much as I can. This is my first project using ASP and working with databases so I am completely learning as I go. I took some database courses in college but I have never interacted with them with a web based front end. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for any time, help, and/or advice you can give.Brian
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

Is there any good suggestion? Thanks in advance for any help, Aldo.
I already posted this question in the Wrong Forum.
However I was wondering if it is possible to create a variable that holds the filename as an expression. I am using a For each loop to pick up files and i want to insert the 'Filename' as a colum so that i can differentiate among the rows in my destination Table.
Using the 'Derived Colum' in DTS I can link the colum to the variable. However i do not know how to create the variable which will store the filename for each file....
Any Clues... Would really appreciate the help.....
I have about 160 packages in my system, all using about 20 shared datasources. When changing one of the datasource's connection (changing the server name), I need to open every one of my packages and press OK to allow the remapping to the new server. (this is something I don't understand: wasn't this the meaning of using a share datasource in the first place? what's the advantages in that case?)
So, I have heard about Package configuration, and how it supposed to support all of this, But I don't understand something: The configuration is set to a certain package. If I have 2 packages, using the same two (of four) Datasources. Using the configuration wizard from one of the packages, I mark the connection string from the datasource. I need to do the same in the other package? will the configuration table hold only one value for that connection? If I change the value of the connection string will it affect all the packages using that datasource or only the ones using configuration?
