How to Create Store Procedure

Hi all,
I am not familiar with the Store Procedure, so just want to know how to create the store procedure? For example, i want to write a store procedure for Login validation to check whether the username and password is correct. So what should i do?Okay, first off I am FAMOUS for writing the kludgiest code on the planet. This proc may or may not work for you (it does for me). It may or may not be very fast. It may or may not meet with best practices guidelines (it probably doesn't). But it should give you some things to work with (a stored procedure, parameters, working with results). You need to do a bit of research on your own. Google is your friend.

Supporting Tables

create table Users (Username varchar(255), [Password] varchar(255))

Supporting Data

insert Users (UserName, [Password]) values ('tscott','123')
go
insert Users (UserName, [Password]) values ('ascott','abc')
go
insert Users (UserName, [Password]) values ('bscott','Abc')
go

select * from users2

Stored Procedure

CREATE PROC spValidatePassword ( @.UserName varchar(255),
@.Password varchar(255)
)

/************************************************** *****
* spValidatePassword
* hmscott
*
* Validates a username/password against a table of known username/passwords
* Warning: data is not encrypted; these passwords are not secure. This
* sample is for demonstration only and is not intended for production
* use.
*
* Parameters:
* IN: UserName The usernmae provided by the user
* Password The password provided by the user
*
* Returns:
* Single-row recordset (ReturnCode):
* -1: UserName not found
* 0: Password incorrect for this user
* 1: Password correct for this user
************************************************** ****/

AS

DECLARE @.LocalPassword varchar(255), @.ReturnCode int

SELECT @.LocalPassword = [Password]
FROM dbo.Users2
WHERE UserName = @.UserName

IF @.LocalPassword IS NULL
BEGIN
SELECT @.ReturnCode = -1 -- User not valid
END
ELSE
BEGIN
IF @.LocalPassword = @.Password COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_AS
-- IF @.LocalPassword = @.Password -- Use this line instead of the above line if you want the passwords to be case insensitive
BEGIN
SELECT @.ReturnCode = 1 -- Password matches
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @.ReturnCode = 0 -- Password does not match
END
END

SELECT @.ReturnCode as ReturnCode

spValidatePassword 'nouser', 'Foo'

spValidatePassword 'bscott', 'Abc'

spValidatePassword 'bscott', 'abc'sql

How to create sproc with unlimited number of parameters?

We have this kind of thing in C#, and I know the sp_executesql (or something like that) does it too. How do you create a stored procedure that has certain known parameters, followed by any number of additional parameters?

For example, you may have one that's called in any of these ways:

exec my_sp @.ID, @.text, @.P1, @.P2

exec my_sp @.ID, @.text, @.P1, @.P2, @.P3

exec my_sp @.ID, @.text, @.P4, @.P39087, @.P2

I can't find a syntax in the docs that really accommodates this.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is something like this what you are looking for? This defines a procedure with M required parameters and N optional parameters:

create procedure dbo.xample
( @.pm_required_01 <type#01>,
@.pm_required_02 <type#02>,
...
@.pm_required_M <type#M>,
@.pm_optional_01 <type#01> = <defaultValue#01>,
@.pm_optional_02 <type#02> = <defaultValue#02>,
...
@.pm_optional_N <Type#N> = <defaultValue#N>
)
as

yourCode

|||Does this solution enforce a maximum number of parameters though? If so, that's not quite what I was after.

I guess the other problem too is that there has to be some way to iterate through all of the parameters as well.|||

Jeff:

It sounds to me like you want to use a "list" as an argument to the stored procedure; if that is the case examine this article by Erland Sommarskog and see if this is the correct orientation:

http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql.html

Also, there is a response here from Jens Suessmeyer that has some more about using a "string list":

http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=326300&SiteID=1

TSQL has a hard limit of ~2K Parameters to any module. Thus, there is no way to do what your asking natively in TSQL (i.e, the best you can do is 2K sql_variant parameters with a default defined ).

People have used various techniques to get around this problem, most of which are nicely summarized in the links above.

How to Create Read Only Stored Procedre!

Hi,
does anyone know how to create "READ ONLY" Soted Procedure Like System
Stored Proc.
Thanks
DishanThere is nothing like the syatem stored procedures whch makes them "read only". Can you expand on
what you want to do?
You can create the proc in master and name it sp_... This will mean that you can access it from
every db without qualifying the database name. Is this what you want?

Say if I want to Encrypt Some stored procedure .Then WE Use Encryption

CREATE PROCEDURE mysp
WITH ENCRYPTION

if we want to Create stored procedure READ ONLY. (Read only means when u

"edit" the system stored procedures, but that is only an EM thing so you don't mess up SQL Server.
AFAIK, EM check whether a stored procedure is a system stored procedure. Use the recommendation as
posted in some other post to mark the proc as a system proc if you really want to do this, but that
is not documented - not supported.

How to create an object without being the owner of the schema

Hi

I have a schema called Accounts owned by fred

User bob has create procedure permission as follows:

grant create procedure to bob

bob would like to create a procedure in schema Accounts.

When he issues create proc Accounts.sp_proc.... it fails with:

Msg 2760, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_proc, Line 3
The specified schema name "Accounts" either does not exist or you do not have permission to use it.

What permission do I need to grant bob in order to allow this?

Thanks

The answer is in Books Online; look for the Permissions section in the CREATE PROCEDURE article:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187926(SQL.90).aspx

Thanks
Laurentiu

Thanks Laurentiu, I couldn't see the wood for the trees.

In case anyone else is interested I needed to run:

How to create a table (structure) based on a result of a stored procedure

Dear all,
There is a stored procedure that returns a result set consisting of some 30
columns of different types.
How can I automatically (i.e. not by means of CREATE TABLE statement) create
a table with a structure that correspons to the returned result set?
I mean something like:
SELECT * INTO #xxx FROM (EXECUTE sp_storedprocedure)
(The above unfortunately doesn't work).
To be specific: the stored procedure in question is:
sp_MSenum_replication_agents @.type = 4, @.exclude_anonymous = 1
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
AndrewAndrew
> SELECT * INTO #xxx FROM (EXECUTE sp_storedprocedure)

No , you have to know how many "columns" stored procedures will be returned

Thank you for the hint. If I understand you correctly, you suggest that I
should CREATE TABLE dynamically (EXEC ('CREATE TABLE...')).
That's OK, but how can I get (programmatically) the list of "columns" that
are returned by the stored procedure?
My basic question is
>> How can I automatically (i.e. not by means of CREATE TABLE statement)
>> create
>> a table with a structure that correspons to the returned result set?
So, the situation is as follows: I have got a stored procedure and want to
put its result set into a new table.
Something like SELECT * INTO MyNewTable FROM ExistingTableOrView,
but instead of ExistingTableOrView there is a stored procedure.
Best regards,

How to create a table (structure) based on a result of a stored procedure

following statement will not work ..SELECT * INTO #xxx FROM (EXECUTE
sp_storedprocedure)
instead of select you can use INSERT INTO will work
eg:
create table #t(i int)
insert into #t exec myproc
create proc myproc
as
select 1

How to create a table (structure) based on a result of a stored procedure

Dear all,
There is a stored procedure that returns a result set consisting of some 30
columns of different types.
How can I automatically (i.e. not by means of CREATE TABLE statement) create
a table with a structure that correspons to the returned result set?
I mean something like:
SELECT * INTO #xxx FROM (EXECUTE sp_storedprocedure)
(The above unfortunately doesn't work).
To be specific: the stored procedure in question is:
sp_MSenum_replication_agents @.type = 4, @.exclude_anonymous = 1
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
AndrewAndrew

> SELECT * INTO #xxx FROM (EXECUTE sp_storedprocedure)

No , you have to know how many "columns" stored procedures will be returned
insert into tablename exec sp

are returned by the stored procedure?
My basic question is
So, the situation is as follows: I have got a stored procedure and want to
put its result set into a new table.
Something like SELECT * INTO MyNewTable FROM ExistingTableOrView,
but instead of ExistingTableOrView there is a stored procedure.
Best regards,

How to create a storeprocedure

Hi,
I'm very very new in SQLServer.
I need to create a store procedure that execute a sql file located in a PATH
for example:
C:\Inetpub\Reserved\update.sql
HOw can I made this?
Thanks a lot!Hi
what version of sql server you using.
if you have sql server installed on your computer, then you can open .sql
file in query analyser or management studio to execute it
i still don't understand why you a need a SP to execute update.sql file

How to create a stored procedure to query the data mining model?

How to create a stored procedure to query the data mining model?

Where can I find some sample code?

Thanks.

Joe.

Details on how to create a stored procedure can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsql90/html/SQLDMPrgrm.asp whitetaper

In the "Extending the Functionality of SQL Server Data Mining" section there are multiple examples of stored procedures. One of them, ExecuteContentQuery, shows exactly how to execute a (content) query over a mining model. The content query can be replaced with any other DMX query returning flattened results

Hope this helps

How to create a stored procedure of this code (inline sql in aspx) ?

I have some SQL code as inline SQL (bad habit, I know). Now I want to convert this to an sproc, but I'm pretty much out of ideas here. The code looks like this:

string

SQL ="SELECT * FROM MyDBTable WHERE 1=1";if (txtMyField1.Text !="")

{

SQL = SQL +

" AND MyField1 = @.MyField";

}

if (txtMyField2.Text !="")

{

SQL = SQL +

" AND MyField2 LIKE '%'+ @.MyField2 + '%'";

}

if (txtMyField3.Text !="")

{

SQL = SQL +

" AND MyField3 LIKE '%' + @.MyField3 + '%'";

}

I have an search page built on ASP.NET 2.0. Based on what the user has entered to the form fields, the SQL in constructed on the fly. Since this is now inside codebehind file (aspx.cs), I want to get rid of it and move it to an sproc. But the question is how ? Some simple SQL clauses are easy to convert to an sproc but this is causing me lots of issues.

You may try this see if it is working or not:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_Test (
@.MyField varchar(5) = null,
@.MyField2 varchar(5)= null,
@.MyField3 varchar(5)= null
)
AS

Begin
declare @.Syntax varchar(500)

SELECT @.Syntax = 'SELECT * FROM MyDBTable' +
'WHERE 1=1' +
CASE
WHEN @.MyField IS NOT NULL and @.MyField <> ''
THEN ' AND MyField1 = ''' + @.MyField + ''''
ELSE ''
END +
CASE
WHEN @.MyField2 IS NOT NULL and @.MyField2 <> ''
THEN ' AND MyField2 LIKE ''%'+ @.MyField2 + '%'''
ELSE ''
END +
CASE
WHEN @.MyField3 IS NOT NULL and @.MyField3 <> ''
THEN ' AND MyField3 LIKE ''%'+ @.MyField3 + '%'''
ELSE ''
END

EXECUTE(@.syntax)
End

You need adjust the size of the variables as request.

How to create a second independent transaction inside a CLR stored procedure?

I use the context connection for the "normal" work in the CLR procedure.
But I need to commit some data in every case. So I need to create a second transaction which is independent from the calling transaction.

What is the best way to do this inside a CLR procedure?

Thanx a lot

Hi!

Create another connection to the server and create a transaction on this second connection. Please note that since your main connection is inproc (“context connection=true” in the connection string), the second connection should be non-inproc (network. Of cause, you can connect to the same server.).

|||Thank you,

I tried this already. But I got an error when I call BeginTransaction on the second connection. When I remember correctly it as "Transcation already in use by another session". I call the procedure from t-sql inside a begin tran block

Any idea about that?

I will try to build a small example an post it here.|||

Hello,
I made a small example to reproduce the error.

CLR procedure
<Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure()> _

Public Shared Sub Test(ByVal sConnectString As String)

Dim t As SqlClient.SqlTransaction = Nothing

Dim c As SqlClient.SqlConnection = Nothing

c = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(sConnectString)

c.Open()

t = c.BeginTransaction()

t.Commit()

c.Close()

End Sub

T-SQL caller:
begin tran
execute Test 'Server=(local);database=cpwerx;user Id=sa;password=xyz'
commit tran

Hi!

Modify your connection string so that it has "Enlist=false" in it. Otherwise the connection inherits current transaction.

More on "Enlist" option is in doc on SqlConnection.ConnectionString property

How To Create a PDF from a stored procedure

I am trying to write a stored procedure that generates a PDF file for example my PDF file will look something like this (there should be spaces between the columns):

First Name Last Name Address
Mike Mik Jr 141552 South
Charlie D 1422141

Lets say my table name whichthat has all these data is called dbo.TestTable
I spent so much time in google and I have not found one simple good example. Can you help me please

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

You can refer this link: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/mivica/creatingapdffromastoredprocedure.asp

I guess it solves your problem.

Thanks & Regards,

Kiran.Y

Thank you for your replay. I' ve seen this article before but it did not really help. Exmple1 and 2 in the article are straight forward but you can’t see how to output the PDF file. Also it does not show you how to loop through the pdf table. I did run the stored procedure under The link SQL2PDF.TXT but it did not generate the PDF File.

Thank you

There's no way a stored procedure can directly output its results to a PDF file that I know of. I suggest that you make a .NET component that creates a database connection, executes your stored procedure retrieving a dataset, creates a PDF file and writes the output to it. You can leverage a free iTextSharp library http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/ for making PDF files. It provides for basic formatting and may be just what you need. Then, you have a few options of setting up your component to run either as a SQL job or Windows service or even invoke it from inside the stored procedure itself (requires CLR integration). Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more details.|||

You can create a Windows service that establishes a connection to the database, polls the database table(s), creates a new PDF file with the data retrieved and sends an email to the manager with this attachment. In the service, you embed a timer component for scheduling tasks. The actual scheduling info can be placed in .config file for starters.
