Upon executing this, I get this error:
Must declare the scalar variable "#FirstSundayOfMonth"
As you can see in the code, I have declared and initialized the value of #FirstSundayOfMonth in the stored procedure.
I'm not sure on what I might be missing here - I tried copying the query part to a separate window and executing it after assigning the values to the declared variables and it executes and generates the result that I expect.
I'm guessing I'm missing something minor but I'm unable to figure out what it is.
Any leads on this would be great!
The variable declared in the outer scope is not visible to the dynamic SQL statement. Pass #FirstSundayOfMonth as another parameter to sp_executesql.
I've made a stored procedure and got the error message below, dont know why. I've been looking around for some answers and with some other guys here at the office but they're all unsure of the problem. Hoping someone here has had the same problem and knows the solution to this.
Msg 116, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Name_Stored_Procedure,
Line 113 Only one expression can be specified in the select list
when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS.
Here is my Code
Set #SQLstring =
'Update #TempTable set Col1' + case when len(Convert(Varchar, (4+#counter)))=1
then '0' else '' end
+ Convert(Varchar,(4+#counter)) + '=''' +
(select #Year, #Month,
Convert(Varchar,count(distinct Table.Column1))
from Databse.Table
where DATEPART(yy,Time) = #Year
and DATEPART(mm,Time) = #Month
and Table.Column2 = #Column2 and Column3 in ('X','Z','Y - A'))
+''' where row = ' + CONVERT(varchar,10+#somevariable * 12)
exec('' + #SQLstring +'')
If you're going to build a string of SQL and execute it with dynamic SQL, then you need to treat it as a string
Set #SQLstring =
'Update #TempTable set Col'
+ case when len(Convert(Varchar, (4+#counter)))=1 then '0' else '' end
...
In your inner select, remove the #year, #month from the results
+ ( select Convert(Varchar,count(distinct Table.Column1)) from databse.Table....
Take the year , month , count in the below part in separate select queries.
(select #Year, #Month,
Convert(Varchar,count(distinct Table.Column1))
from Databse.Table
where DATEPART(yy,Time) = #Year
and DATEPART(mm,Time) = #Month
and Table.Column2 = #Column2 and Column3 in ('X','Z','Y - A'))
select CONCAT(#year, #month, convert....)
I believe there are many StackOverflow posts related to this error, but none seems to have a straightforward solution which I am looking for. I'll be thankful if anyone of you can look into this.
The issue: I am using a dynamic sql stored procedure which uses FundTransfer Database tables in cte expression and then joins with WebbnkDb database.
But, I run into the exception mentioned in the title above. Everything works fine if I remove WITH EXECUTE AS SELF command but unfortunately I can't get rid of it as it is used for some security reasons. Please suggest me solution in easy words.

So when you add EXECUTE AS SELF to a procedure, it's the same as saying "Execute this procedure as though the person who created it is running it". So whoever deploys the procedure (under whatever principal account) is the one that will be the basis for what the procedure uses.
I'm presuming that your deployment strategy is to have an administrator run the CREATE/ALTER steps using the sa account. Your DBAs are probably following best practice and not having the sa account own the databases on the server (and possibly not have read access at all), so you get the security error.
Given all that, in your current situation, you're probably not going to use EXECUTE AS SELF, or at least I suspect so. In terms of when you would want to use it in a more general sense, it's hard to give a blanket answer. Short version is if you have a situation where you ("you" being a principal you can log in as) need to run an object at your level of permissions rather than whatever permissions the caller has.
