No - you can limit/fix the size of database files (see ALTER DATABASE), but

How to assign values to variables in a procedure in with select s

Hi,
I have code like this
:
CREATE PROCEDURE GET_OFFENDER_DATA @.value1 VARCHAR(8),@.name VARCHAR(30)
OUTPUT,@.sex VARCHAR(1) OUTPUT
AS
SELECT NAME,SEX from table1 where .....
Now I want to assign the value of Name and sex from the select statement to
variables @.name and @.sex.
How do I do that. I just do not want to execute the select statement twice
as the selection criteria is big.
Thanks,
JSSELECT @.name = name, @.sex = sex
FROM table1
WHERE (something that guarantees exactly one row)

How to assign values to variables in a procedure in with sele

I tried that but get an error for syntax check
Error141 - A select statement that assigns a value to a variable must not be
combined with data retrieval operation.
I am using SQL Server 7 .
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Then you didn't run exactly what I posted. Could you show exactly what you
tried to run?
You can't SELECT and assign in the same statement. So, if you are sure that
the WHERE clause will always limit to one row, *and* for some reason you
need to SELECT the data *and* return it in output parameters (why would you
need to do both?), you can do this:
-- assign variable values from table
SELECT @.name = name, @.sex = sex FROM table WHERE ...
-- return *variables* to client
SELECT name = @.name, sex = @.sex|||JS wrote:
> I tried that
I doubt that you tried exactly what he said. It would help if you showed us
the revised code, but I suspect your statement now looks like:
SELECT NAME,SEX,@.name = name, @.sex = sex
from table1 where .....
Right?

That's a pretty self-explanatory error message: in a single sql statement
you can either return data to the client or assign values to variables. You
cannot do both in a single statement.
I suspect what you are trying to to do is:
SELECT name = name, @.sex = sex
from table1 where .....
SELECT @.name, @.sex

(a) do you not have a primary key on SSN? If so, there is no need to set
rowcount 1, since there will only ever be a maximum of one match. If there
is no primary key, why not?
(b) sorry, but there is no way that the procedure above yields the error you
mentioned earlier. Either you transcribed it wrong or you are looking at
the wrong code.|||Also,
(a) can you come up with a more useless and generic name for your procedure
than GET_DATA? At least you use the dbo prefix...
(b) I recommend better formatting so your procedure is readable.
(c) I strongly recommend against these implicit, non-ANSI join syntaxes.
How about:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetNameSexData
@.ssn VARCHAR(9),
@.name VARCHAR(30) OUTPUT,
@.sex VARCHAR(1) OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
SET ROWCOUNT 1
SELECT
@.name = nt.Name,
@.sex = ot.Sex
FROM
Name_Table nt
INNER JOIN Other_Table ot
ON nt.ssn = ot.ssn
WHERE nt.ssn = @.ssn
END
GO
Now, if that produces an error when you *call* it, show the method you used
to *call* it.|||Got it I was declaring the variables but assigining all the values in the
select statement for the output type. Thanks very much for all the help

Yes, technically, but you'd still have to work with that recordset in the control flow, as the variable type would be Object. So you'd have to "shred" the recordset to get the real value.

How to assign user variable value to the Derived Column, in Data Flow Task

Hi:

In the derived column transformation editor, I have a Derived column name called FileGroupID. I would like to pass in a value for this column from a variable that I have set earlier in the scope. Can someone let me know, how to write the expression that does that and where do I specifiy that expression. I am thinking its the expression field in the derived column transformation editor. My main question is how to actually write the expression, what is the syntax to pull the variable value? Thanks.

MA2005

@.[User::YourVariableName]

Actually from the top left side you can expand the variables folder and drag-and-dorp it on the expression field; so you avoid the typing.

How to assign the result of READTEXT to a variable?

Hi, is there a way to store the result of READTEXT function to a variable?

I encounter a field with image datatype. A series of HEX data are saved in
this field. Every four bytes represent a single number. (Single is a data
type in VB). I want to handle every four bytes one by one.
Although I can't define a local variable using TEXT or NTEXT, I could define
a variable using VARBINARY(4). But there is no way to store the result of
READTEXT into a variable of VARBINARY(4).

How to assign the @@IDENTITY to a variable

Hi,

HOW can I assign the value of @.@.IDENTITY to the any variable in SQL SERVER .

Thanks,

DECLARE @.var int
INSERT INTO <table> VALUES <...> SELECT @.var= @.@.IDENTITY

On another note, I'd recommend using SCOPE_IDENTITY() instead of @.@.IDENTITY. check out books online for some info. ScopeIdentity is more accurate in returning the autonumber id.

How to assign string value to TEXT output parameter of a stored procedure?

Hello,

I am currently trying to assign some string to a TEXT output parameter
of a stored procedure.

The basic structure of the stored procedure looks like this:

-- 8< --
CREATE PROCEDURE owner.StoredProc
(
@.blob_data image,
@.clob_data text OUTPUT
)
AS
INSERT INTO Table (blob_data, clob_data) VALUES \
(@.blob_data, @.clob_data);
GO
-- 8< --

My previous attempts include using the convert function to convert a
string into a TEXT data type:
SET @.clob_data = CONVERT(text, 'This is a test');

Unfortunately, this leads to the following error: "Error 409: The
assignment operator operation cannot take a text data type as an argument."

Is there any alternative available to make an assignment to a TEXT
output parameter?

Regards,
ThiloIs there a reason you can't just do a select on it?

How to assign roles to a user on reporting server through Web Service MEthod

I am using the Web service of SSRS to assign the roles for a user that exists on that reporting server machine.

I am using the followng code to do this.

Policy[] p = new Policy[1];
p[0] = new Policy();
Role[] R = new Role[1];
R[0]= new Role();
R[0].Name = "Content Manager";
p[0].GroupUserName = "systemtest\user1";
rs.SetPolicies(@."/",p);

The same I have tried with SetSystemPolicy method also.

Policy[] p = new Policy[1];
p[0] = new Policy();
Role[] R = new Role[1];
R[0]= new Role();
R[0].Name = "Content Manager";
p[0].GroupUserName = "systemtest\user1";
rs.SetSystemPolicies(p);

I have used the above codes in achieving the mapping between the SSRS role and the windows local user. Getting error on this.

Vikas

The code looks good to me. What kind of error did you get? There might be a couple of reasons for failing:

1. you do not have permission to perform this action

2. Role can be managed by user, "Content Manager" is a pre-defined role out of box. But it may have been deleted. You have to make sure the role exists. ListRoles soap APIs can get you the available roles.

3. There is already a policy associated with the same user.

...

There is only one issue i see...

p[0].Roles = R;

Before calling SetPolicies.

How to assign random number to one column for 500 records?

I try to set up a testing sample table which contain one integer project_ID field for table Sample around 500 records, and want the project_ID to be random number within 1 to 99, how to implement script todo it?

thanks!

Here you go !
using System
namespace x {
classe y {
public y () {}
public int getRandomID () {
Random r = new Random()
return r.Next(1,99); // this indicates the start and end limit of the random function
}
}
}

then use the returned value into your SQL query to generate the records... make sure you dont have the project_ID as primary key as this above code does not check for uniqueness of the generated number....

Hi
You can do by searching in sql books online.
Ok......add primary key constraint on one column in one table using alter table add constraint.add refference constraint on one column in other table
example:
[code]

CREATE TABLE doc_exe ( column_a INT CONSTRAINT column_a_un UNIQUE) ;
GO
ALTER TABLE doc_exe ADD

-- Add a PRIMARY KEY identity column.
column_b INT IDENTITY
CONSTRAINT column_b_pk PRIMARY KEY,

-- Add a column that references another column in the same table.
column_c INT NULL
CONSTRAINT column_c_fk
REFERENCES doc_exe(column_a),

-- Add a column with a constraint to enforce that
-- nonnull data is in a valid telephone number format.
column_d VARCHAR(16) NULL
CONSTRAINT column_d_chk
CHECK
(column_d LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' OR
column_d LIKE
'([0-9][0-9][0-9]) [0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'),

-- Add a nonnull column with a default.

How to assign OR get Time value to a colum

How can i store time value in a column. And also i need to compare the values. Another problem is , how can i get the Current time of the server.(something like getdate() ?)

hi,

there's no other function aside form getdate().

if you want it to be stored automatically to a column you have to enforce a "default constraint"

How To Assign OPENQUERY Results from Linked Servers to local variables..

Hi All,

I have a problem about assigning the results of an OPENQUERY. Please check the code below:

DECLARE @.sqlString nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @.sqlString1 nvarchar(4000)
DECLARE @.custName nvarchar(100)

SET @.custID = 2
SET @.sqlString1 = 'SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE CustID = ' + CAST( @.custID as varchar(6))
SELECT @.sqlString = 'SELECT CustName FROM OPENQUERY(DEEPACCESS,''' + @.sqlString1 + ''')'
EXECUTE(@.sqlString)

--
The above code works fine but i need something like
SELECT @.sqlString = 'SELECT @.custname=CustName FROM OPENQUERY(DEEPACCESS,''' + @.sqlString1 + ''')'
EXECUTE(@.sqlString)

By doing this i want to assign the CustName to the local variable @.custName.
I tried to use a temp table but in that case i was not able to specify a where clause in @.sqlString1. (i'd rather use linked_server.databasename.owner.tablename , but i read that this does not provide good performance )

Any suggestions about the problem are welcomed!
Thanks in advance,

Bahtiyar KARANLIKdeclare @.sqlString nvarchar(1000)
SELECT @.sqlString = 'SELECT @.custname=CustName FROM OPENQUERY(DEEPACCESS,''' + @.sqlString1 + ''')'
EXEC sp_executesql @.sqlString, N'@.custname varchar(20) out', @.custname out

or

SELECT @.sqlString = 'SELECT CustName FROM OPENQUERY(DEEPACCESS,''' + @.sqlString1 + ''')'
create table #a (s varchar(20))
insert #a
exec (@.sqlstring)

select @.custname = s from #a
drop table #a

Using the 4 part name in the query should be just s good. If you are joining with strings then make sure the servers are collation compatible so that the filter is performed on the remote server and check the query plan.
This sort of thing can give bad performance if used as a join to a local table but if you are just selecting using constants for a filter it should be OK.
