Replace function requires 3 arguments - sql

I am trying to fetch data from SQL to excel and it is giving me the below error
My Query in SQL Server
DECLARE #Delimiter Char(1)
SET #Delimiter = CHAR(9)
EXEC MSDB.dbo.sp_Send_DBMail
#profile_name = 'K2MailSetup',
#Recipients='abs#test.com',
#Subject='Extraction Report',
#Body='Hi,
Please find attached extraction report as required. ',
#Query='set nocount on;Select Coalesce(replace(replace(A.[type], char(10), ''), char(13), ''),'') as Type FROM [EU_OTH_REG].[dbo].[TBL_EU_OTH_TXN_REG_RSDS] A',
#Attach_Query_Result_As_File = 1,
#Query_Result_Header = 1,
#Query_Attachment_Filename = 'Report.csv',
#Query_Result_Separator = #Delimiter,
#query_result_width =32767,
#query_result_no_padding=1
========================================================================
It is giving me below error
Msg 22050, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Error formatting query, probably invalid parameters

Incorrect syntax near ') as Type
FROM [EU_OTH_REG].[dbo].[TBL_EU_OTH_TXN_REG_RSDS] A
========================================================================
The strange thing is that when I just run the query it provides me result but when I try to create report out of it by using the above excel steps and parameters it gives me error.

You need to check the quote in the #Query variable.
I replaced it in the following;
#Query='set nocount on;Select Coalesce(replace(replace(A.[type], char(10), ''''), char(13), ''''),'''') as Type FROM [EU_OTH_REG].[dbo].[TBL_EU_OTH_TXN_REG_RSDS] A'

From the docs: SQL Server Replace
The syntax for REPLACE() goes as follows:
REPLACE ( string_expression , string_pattern , string_replacement )
As you can see, all parameters should be in string format. Make sure all parameters are encased in '' for your script to work.

How to solve incorrect syntax near 'xml'?

I'm working on an administration program, and when writing one of it's features I encountered this error.
Here's the code.
CODE:
create procedure wIaTertiDemo
#sesiune varchar(50),
parXML xml
as
begin try
declare #utilizator varchar(500)
exec wIaUtilizator #sesiune #utilizator output
select codfiscal, denumire as #dentert, adresa
from tertiDemo
for xml raw
--create table tertiDemo(codfiscal varchar(50), denumire varchar(500), adresa varchar(500)
end try
BEGIN CATCH
DECLARE #mesajEroare varchar(1000)
SET #mesajEroare = ERROR_MESSAGE()+ '(' +OBJECT_NAME(##PROCID) + ')'
RAISERROR (#mesajEroare, 16,1)
END CATCH
Errors:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure wIaTertiDemo, Line 1 [Batch Start Line 0]
Incorrect syntax near 'xml'
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure wIaTertiDemo, Line 6 [Batch Start Line 0]
Incorrect syntax near '#utilizator'

Should be:
#parXML xml
And

should be:
exec wIaUtilizator #sesiune, #utilizator output
And
denumire as #dentert
should be:
denumire as dentert

Passing Cursor Result to send_dbmail as a Parameter

I've never worked with cursors before, and upon reading, this may not be the best approach, so by all means, makes suggestions.
I am attempting to pass the result set of a cursor to a query. Here's what I have so far:
DECLARE #PM varchar(50),
#c1 as CURSOR
SET #c1 = CURSOR FOR
SELECT PM
FROM PMtable
OPEN #c1;
FETCH NEXT FROM #c1 INTO #PM;
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DECLARE #emailBody nvarchar(max)
SET #emailBody = 'SELECT * FROM othertable WHERE PM = ' + #PM + ' ORDER BY PM';
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
#recipients = 'me#me.com',
#subject = 'test',
#query = #emailBody;
FETCH NEXT FROM #c1 INTO #PM;
END
CLOSE #c1;
DEALLOCATE #c1;
The idea is to send the #emailBody query result set as an email for every result in the cursor. For example, say the cursor returns three results: Bob, Jim, and Joe. I want to loop run the #emailBody query for each result from the cursor and send an email for each result.
When I run the query as is, I receive an error saying:
Msg 22050, Level 16, State 1, Line 0 Error formatting query, probably
invalid parameters
Msg 14661, Level 16, State 1, Procedure
sp_send_dbmail, Line 504 [Batch Start Line 0]
Query execution failed:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Server SERVER, Line 9 Invalid column name
'Bob'.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Server SERVER, Line 1 Invalid
column name 'Bob'.
I have no clue what's going on. Any ideas?
You need to add '':
SET #emailBody='SELECT * FROM othertable WHERE PM = ''' + #PM + ''' ORDER BY PM';
Be aware of possible SQL Injection.
How it works:
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Server SERVER, Line 9 Invalid column name 'Bob'.
SELECT * FROM othertable WHERE PM = Bob ORDER BY PM
vs.
SELECT * FROM othertable WHERE PM = 'Bob' ORDER BY PM
Please keep in mind that ORDER BY PM for one value does not change anything.

cast text to xml error illegal qualified name character

how to fix error illegal qualified name character in this sample :
Declare #Str As nvarchar(256)
Set #Str = N'<Log "ReceiptStockHNo="2" ReceiptStockHDate="Feb 4 2" Comment="" />'
Select Cast(#Str As xml)
Error :
Msg 9455, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
XML parsing: line 1, character 6, illegal qualified name character
What is this extra " ? .
Remove the " and it will work.
Additional information :
To prevent future errors for needed encoded characters like & , < , use the appropriate replacement :
Declare #Str As nvarchar(256)
Set #Str = '<tag>&</tag>'
Select Cast(#Str As xml)
Will yield :
Msg 9421, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 XML parsing: line 1, character 7
illegal name character
While changing < to < :
Declare #Str As nvarchar(256)
Set #Str = '<tag><</tag>'
Select Cast(#Str As xml)
Will be Ok.

Msg 8115, Level 16, State 6, Line 4 Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric

This is the query I have written.
DECLARE #SQL_BULK VARCHAR(MAX)
declare #cp decimal(14,2)=1000
declare #tb varchar(20)='tbl_LT'
set #SQL_BULK='insert into '+#tb+'(ClosePrice) values('''+#cp+''');'
EXEC (#SQL_BULK)
When I execute the query I am getting Msg 8115, Level 16, State 6, Line 4
Arithmetic overflow error converting varchar to data type numeric. as error.
I have tried cast, conversion methods.
The + operator is overloaded in SQL Server. If any argument is numeric, then it is a string.
Often, I do what you want to do using replace() to prevent this problem:
set #SQL_BULK = 'insert into #tb(ClosePrice) values(#cp)';
set #SQL_BULK = replace(#SQL_BULK, '#tb', #tb);
set #SQL_BULK = replace(#SQL_BULK, '#cp', #cb);
EXEC (#SQL_BULK)
As a note: you should probably use `sp_executesql and pass in the second value as a parameter:
set #SQL_BULK = 'insert into #tb(ClosePrice) values(''#cp'')';
set #SQL_BULK = replace(#SQL_BULK, '#tb', #tb);
exec sp_executesql #SQL_BULK, N'#cb decimal(14, 2)', #cp = #cp;
Whenever you add Numerics to a string, the default behavior is to convert the string to Number.
In this case
set #SQL_BULK='insert into '+#tb+'(ClosePrice) values('''+#cp+''');'
you are adding #cp to a string which is causing the problem.
You have to re-write this as
set #SQL_BULK='insert into '+#tb+'(ClosePrice) values('''+CAST(#cp AS VARCHAR)+''');'

Sending File through database Mail

I am trying to sending a file through Database mail , when i execute the query below without #query option mail is triggered but when i include the #query option i get the error mentioned.
if ##rowcount >0
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail #profile_name = ' Errormail',#recipients='arunkumarb#mobiusservices.in;',
#subject = 'A new Record created in the SSORunError Log Table' ,
#body = 'A new Record created in the SSORunError Log Table' ,
#query = 'select * from ip',
#attach_query_result_as_file = 1,
#query_result_width = 4000,
#query_attachment_filename = 'Details.txt'
Error Message :
Msg 22050, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
Error formatting query, probably invalid parameters
Msg 14661, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_send_dbmail, Line 504
Query execution failed: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Server , Line 1
Invalid object name 'ip'.
Thanks in advance
Try using fully qualified name for the table:
SELECT * FROM yourDatabase.yourSchemaName.ip
You can also set #execute_query_database parameter of your call to sp_send_dbmail to contain the name of your database (although I think that using fully qualified name should be enough).
