How to run an insert without returning anything

I need to run a select statement in a sproc and at the end insert into a
history table without having the insert return anything to the sproc is is
embedded in. How do I do this? Thank you.If that is all the proc does, you can say:
INSERT INTO HistoryTable EXEC myProcedure;

I don't know what all of this means. Could you provide some real code, a
simple repro, and explain in detail what you want to really happen? All
these word problems are not very easy to follow.|||JT wrote:

CREATE PROC usp_insert

INSERT INTO tbl (col1, col2, ...)

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.

If this is a quiz, my guess is that your table has a trigger with a
SELECT statement in it.
If it not a quiz, please be more detailed...

How To Round With Negative Numbers?

I am using a select statement to obtain a result set back with aggregated
data. The problem is that I am seeing column data with 11 to 13 digits
after the decimal point. I tried using the STR function, but then the Order
By clause does not sort properly because there are negative numbers in the
aggregated data... I tried using Round, but that does no good either - it
still ends up displaying too many digits after the decimal point. Right now
I'm just using Query Analyzer to display the data, so I can live with it for
now. But, in the future, my app will be getting a result set back and I
would prefer not to have to go through each row and do a round on it from
the program. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks for any help,

BobBob, what is the actual problem? What does how the numbers display
have to do with the sort order? Do you want the negatvie numbers and
the positive values to sort alike? ABS function? Round in select list
but not in the order by?

Perhaps a sample SQL and output would help someone provide the right
solution.

If I could understand the problem, maybe I could solve it. :-)

It sounds as if you are working with floats, which are approxamite
numbers. You can round a value, but you may still see many decimals,
because there may be no exact represenation of the number. You could
convert to decimal, which is a precise type. You could also consider
handling the formatting of the data in the client.

But without knowledge about your data and their data types it's difficult
to say anything more intelligent.

Ok, here is my query:

select [TS Bars Back] as BB, [TS Bars Within] as BW,
str([TS Move %], 6, 4) as "Move %", str([TS Entry %], 6, 4) as "Entry T",
str([TS ATR Profit], 7, 2) as "P Goal", sum([P/L Comm]) as "P/L $",
str(sum(Risk), 7, 2) as "Risk",
str(avg([P/L Avg %]), 7, 2) as "P/L %",
str(sum([P/L %]), 10, 2) as "P/L % Sum",
str(avg([P/L Long]), 7, 4) as "Long $", str(avg([P/L Short]), 7, 4) as
"Short $",
Count([# of trades]) as "# Runs", Sum([# of trades]) as "# Trades",
str(sum([Max Drawdown]), 10, 2) as "Max $ DD"
from [Table1].dbo.SumResults
where Symbol = 'GE_1/1m' and [SE Time] = 3600 and [TS Entry %] = .005 and
[TS ATR Stop] = 0
group by [TS Move %], [TS Entry %], [TS Bars Within], [TS Bars Back], [TS
ATR Profit]
order by [P/L $] desc

The output looks like this:

BB BW Move % Entry T P Goal P/L $ Risk
P/L % P/L % Sum Long $ Short $ # Runs # Trades Max $ DD
30 8 0.0075 0.0050 1.20 1452.6800537109375 0.30
1.82 7.26 1191.44 261.240 1 4
429.07
30 8 0.0075 0.0050 1.30 1452.6800537109375 0.30
1.82 7.26 1191.44 261.240 1 4
429.07

So, you can see that the str function works well to limit the # of decimal
points displayed for the other fields.
However, if I use it for the "P/L $" field, then the sort does not come out
right because the order by sorts based
upon the resulting character string and not the number in the field. I need
to limit the number of digits displayed in
the P/L $ field without affecting the sort order. Anybody know how to do
that?

Bob|||Thank you for the idea of using a decimal field instead of a float. Most of
my columns are floats (or reals). So, I tried doing a cast of the real
column to a decimal and it worked like a charm.

For those interested in the syntax, this is what worked:

sum(cast ([P/L Comm] as decimal(10,3))) as "P/L $",

Thanks again,

Bob

How to Rollback Committed Update Transaction

Is there any way to Rollback Committed Update statement in SQL Server

You could get one of the third party transaction log tools, such as Lumnigent's Log Explorer, and undo the transaction.

SQL Server itself does not have that capability. Once committed, done.

How to return the result (XML) with FOR XML EXPLICIT

Dear SQLXML specialists and other animals,
I got the following SP, that runs a SQL statement with FOR XML
EXPLICIT:
**** SQL STATEMENT *****

Therefore, what I want is to assign this XML to a variable. To do
that, I tried the following (but failed):
Exec @.RC=SP_F06_GetActions
@.MSISDN,
@.SessionId
So, my QUESTION is HOW CAN I RETRIEVE THIS XML INTO A VARIABLE?
Thanks in advance for your help and interest.

Which version of SQL Server? In 2000 you can't do what you want, in 2005 you
need to use the TYPE directive.

|||When I use TYPE, it gave me the following error *damn*
Msg 1086, Level 15, State 1, Line 72
The FOR XML clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived
tables, and subqueries when they contain a set operator. To work
around, wrap the SELECT containing a set operator using derived table
syntax and apply FOR XML on top of it.

How to return sets by filtering those tuples with null values in a MDX statement?

Hi, dear friends,

How can we return the result by filtering tuples with null values? (e.g. I want to return the result for tuples specified by dimention DimA, measures B,C. therefore I want to filter the result with nulls values of B,C for DimA).

Hope it is clear for your help.

And I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly for your help.

Thanks a lot.

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

It depends what you mean by "filter" - do you want the null values included or excluded?

And what does B,C mean? Do you mean if either is null or both?

The following is one solution if you want to return members from DimA where both measures are empty (null).

Filter(DimA.members, IsEmtpy(Measures.B) AND IsEmpty(Measures.C)

but I would expect somthing like this could be faster as it could use block computation instead of cell-by-cell evaluation.

INTERSECT(NonEmpty(DimA.Members, Measures.B),NonEmpty(DimA.members, Measures.C))

How to return current hour of week?

One week have 168 hours.
How do you create SQl statement that return hour value for specific timestamp??
eg.
If week starts on system from Monday.
Monday 01:00 is hour 1
Tuesday 01:00 is hour 25
Sunday 23:00 is hour 167
etc.
Ideas??This should be a good start:

DECLARE @.startDate SMALLDATETIME
DECLARE @.endDate SMALLDATETIME

--Set Test value for Thursday Feb 22nd
SET @.endDate = ('02/22/2004 15:21:20')
--Set the start date to first day of the week
SET @.startDate = DATEADD(Day, -(DATEPART(WeekDay, @.endDate) - 1), @.endDate)
--Remove the time component of the start date
SET @.startDate = CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), @.startDate, 101)
--Count the number of hours from start of week (Mon) to @.endDate
SELECT DATEDIFF(Hour, @.startDate, @.endDate)

This could be converted to run as part of a select where @.endDate is provided by a column with Date data. If you use this verbatim you will want to test boundary conditions to assure they meet your requirements and I'm sure it could be optimized.

The key is in the setting of @.startDate [DATEADD(Day, -(DATEPART(WeekDay, @.endDate) - 1), @.endDate)].
Evaluation:
DATEPART(WeekDay, @.EndDate) = Day Code for Thursday (4)
(4) - 1 = 3*
-(3) = -3
DATEADD(Day, (-3), @.endDate) = Sets Date To Monday (*determined by the 1 subtracted from the original day code)|||One more try...

(24 * DatePart("dw",'2004-03-8 1:00:00')-1) + {fn Hour('2004-03-8 1:00:00')}

Is it correct?|||You need another set of parenthesis for proper order of operations:

declare @.TimeStamp datetime
set @.TimeStamp = getdate()
select (24 * (DatePart(dw,@.TimeStamp)-1)) + {fn Hour(@.TimeStamp)}|||set datefirst 1
declare @.timestamp datetime
set @.timestamp = getdate()
select (datepart(dd,@.timestamp)-1)*24+datepart(hh,@.timestamp)|||Just an observation that may not affect you, but there aren't always 168 hours in the week. If you observe Daylight Savings Time (http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/) then one week has 167 and one has 169 each year. If you need to keep Sidereal (http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/sidereal.html) time, then a different week each year can have a smidgeon more or less than 168.

These don't affect everyone, but they are the basis behind my always using date functions instead of "roll your own" functions like these. I'm not exactly sure how I'd handle this case, but I just wanted to raise the issue before folks go merrily trooping off with a solution that might not always work for them.

-PatP|||declare @.dt datetime
set @.dt = '20040309 1:00'
select DATEDIFF(hh,DATEADD(d,-(DATEPART(w,@.dt)+@.@.DATEFIRST-2)%7,LEFT(@.dt,13)),@.dt)

How to return a value if recordcount = 0

How would I return a select statement if the records returned is 0
i.e
Select * from orders where employeeID = 0
if @.RowCount = 0
--Return Shipname as 'None'
Select 'None' = shipname ect,
Thanks
Stephen K. Miyasato
MDsyncHi Stephen,
I would do something like...
SELECT * FROM Orders where EmployeeID = 0
IF @.@.ROWCOUNT = 0
SELECT 'None' As ShipName
or
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Orders Where EmployeeID = 0)
SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE EmployeeID = 0
ELSE
SELECT 'None' As ShipName
Both examples would return a single row with a single column called
[ShipName] with the value 'None' in the event that no rows exist with an
employeeID of 0.

Here is the actual query:
The query as it now is return two sets. The first set has 0 rows, the next
set is the one I need to produce.
if I use Exist(Select ..), I get and error since I have NTEXT values and
order by is not allowed.
Any other suggustions?

How to return a range of rows?

How can a SQL statement be written to return a specified range of
rows? For example:

-- tblContact
-- (
-- SSN char(9),
-- FirstName varchar(50),
-- LastName varchar(50)
-- )
-- This table contains 500 rows.

Select * from tblContact -- Return only rows 5 through 10

Data in tables doesn't have any order, so you have to decide how to say
which are the 'first' 10 rows. Assuming that you want rows 5 to 10 when
ordered by LastName, then this is one possible solution:

select top 5 * from
(
select top 10 *
from tblContact
order by LastName asc) dt
order by LastName desc

Alternatively, you can look at the first example in this KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;186133

If you add "having count(*) between 5 and 10" to the query, you should also
get the results you want.

Simon|||Hi

There is not equivalent of a row number in SQL Server, therefore you need to
be able to order the values, but something like

SELECT TOP 5 SSN. FirstName, LastName FROM
( SELECT TOP 10 SSN. FirstName, LastName FROM tblContact ORDER BY SSN ASC )
A
ORDER BY SSN DESC

Will give you the rows, but not in order!

Also check out the solution in the following thread

How to retrieve Views and Stored Procedure statement text?

Hi,
Is there any way that I can find where the SQL server stored our Create
View or Create Procedure statement (the text), I try to find on all
system tables but can not find it.
Thanks,
RicardCREATE statements for textual objects are stored in syscomments.
Hope this helps.

The stored procedure to see the definition of stored procedures and views is
sp_helptext.
If you want to see how sp_helptext gets the definition, you can look at IT'S
definition. :-)
USE master
GO
EXEC sp_helptext sp_helptext
GO
You will see that after some error checking, sp_helptext basically just does
a SELECT from the syscomments table.

How to retrieve values from one db to another db

Hi
Could someone please give me the correct TSQL statement, for the below
"pseudo".
USE db_a INSERT INTO tbl_1 VALUES(USE db_b SELECT * FROM tbl_2)
given that tbl_1 and tbl_2 is identical.
Any hints appreciated
Regrds.
Mr. SmithAssuming both tables are owned by dbo:
INSERT INTO db_a.dbo.tbl_1
SELECT * FROM db_b.dbo.tbl_2

database2.tableowner.tablename

INSERT INTO tbl('col1','col2')
SELECT a.col1,a.col2

How to retrieve last inserted ID(Auto-Number) then perform another Insert Statement?

Hi All,

I hope you could help me in retrieving the last inserted ID(Auto-Number) then perform another Insert Statement?

I would really much appreciate it. I am coding in VB and am uisng

Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and Microsoft SQL Sever

Management Studio Express.

Thanks alot.

-- Sam

My Codes:

Dim SQLStr5 As String = "INSERT INTO

NotesDetails(Notes_Level,Notes_Subject,Notes_Type,Notes_Year,Notes_Desc)

VALUES ('" & ddl_level.SelectedValue & "','" &

ddl_sub.SelectedValue & "','" & rbl_type.SelectedValue &

"','" & ddl_year.SelectedValue & "','" & tb_desc.Text &

"')"

Dim con5 As New SqlConnection(connstring)

con5.Open()

Dim cmd5 As New SqlCommand(SQLStr5, con5)

cmd5.ExecuteNonQuery()

con5.Close()

'' Need to get last inserted ID to Insert into the next Statement. (Notes_ID)

Dim SQLStr5a As String = "INSERT INTO

NotesComments(Notes_ID,Notes_Comments) VALUES ('" &

ddl_level.SelectedValue & "','" & tb_comments.Text & "')"

Dim con5a As New SqlConnection(connstring)

con5a.Open()

Dim cmd5a As New SqlCommand(SQLStr5a, con5a)

cmd5a.ExecuteNonQuery()

con5a.Close()

The last identity can be fetched using the SCOPE_IDENTITY() function, be aware that you have to do that within the same scope. As an additional new feature of SQL Server 2005 you could use the OUTPUT clause which give you the availbility to return values within the same DML statement. See more informations and samples in the BOL.

HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.
