I tried this to insert data into table in SAP BODS, but it seems like it won't work :
BEGIN
sql('TEST_DB', 'INSERT INTO TEST_CODE VALUES ({$ID_NUMBER}, {$DATE}, {$NAME}))
END
Is there any missing syntax? I already search for the sql statement and followed them, but still can't work. Appreciate any help. Thanks.
SQL function needs two parameters .
1st is the DataStore Name and second being the query. I can't find any flaw in your sql function.May be values are not according to the datatypes of the columns.
Try using SQL transform instead of SQL function
,with SQL transform you can verify the syntax too.
Try the following syntax:
BEGIN
sql('TEST_DB', 'INSERT INTO TEST_CODE VALUES ( ([$ID_NUMBER]), ([$DATE]), ([$NAME]) ))
END
The correct syntax is:
BEGIN
sql('TEST_DB', 'INSERT INTO TEST_CODE VALUES ('|| $ID_NUMBER ||' , '||$DATE|| ' , '||$NAME||')');
END

I need to insert data into a sql table using a csv file with apostrophe(') and ('') in few rows.
I was able to handle it using the below method.
Get open_quote and close_quote and put the username and email_id between these two variable.
SELECT CHR(113)||CHR(39)||CHR(91) INTO OPEN_QUOTE FROM dual;
SELECT CHR(93)||CHR(39) INTO CLOSE_QUOTE FROM dual;
enter image description here
It looks ugly.I could have used replace but i opted for this method.
Could you please let me know of any other method so that my code looks good?
Attached is the screenshot of the dynamic sql.
You can have a single quote in a string by doubling it. For instance:
select 'It''s Bob''s book'
from dual;
As of Oracle 10g in PL/SQL you can have:
V_SQL_STATEMENT := q'[It's Bob's book]';
See Oracle SQL Reference for details on text literals.
Use the alternative-quoting mechanism and several REPLACEs instead of concatenation. It's a little extra work but it makes it clearer what the final SQL statement will look like.
v_sql_statement := replace(replace(replace(replace(
q'[
insert into login
(USER_ID,CLIENT_ID,EMAIL,PSWD_HASH,NETWORK_ID,FAILED_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS,NAME)
VALUES
(
LOGIN_SEQ.nextval,
#P_CLIENT_ID#,
'#PARSE_EMAIL#',
#V_PSWD_HASH#,
NULL,
0,
'#USER_NAME#'
)
]'
, '#P_CLIENT_ID#', p_client_id)
, '#PARSE_EMAIL#', parse_email(lower(c1.email)))
, '#V_PSWD_HASH#', v_pswd_hash)
, '#USER_NAME#', nvl(c1.name, generate_user_name(parse_email(c1.email))))
;
Excuse my attempt at this, very rusty with SQL.
When I run the following code:
"IF NOT ISNULL Then INSERT INTO [XX].[dbo].[XXX] end if(
I get the following error message "AN EXPRESSION OF NON-BOOLEAN TYPE SPECIFIED"
I have tried to find out how to solve this error with no luck.
Basically I want to insert into [xx] if the cell is 'NOT NULL'.
you're missing the cell value to compare:
try this:
IF NOT ISNULL <cellValue> Then INSERT INTO [XX].[dbo].[XXX] end if ...
Since you refer to "dbo" I guess you're working with Sybase or SQL Server. It looks like you want to insert a single row of values based on a variable at hand. The accepted answer may work in your specific case but I think the more generic solution is below:
insert into <table> (<column list>)
select <values to insert>
where <#variable or column_value> is not null
The accepted answer has syntax that is not valid for Sybase/SQL Server. If you prefer that approach it should look something like the below:
if <cellvalue> is not null begin insert into <table> (...) values (...) end
I want to aggregate some rows using a SQL UDF. I want to first select the rows ordered by their id & then concatenate them in a comma separated column. I am having error on the order by clause in my function as it is inside a for loop. Is there any way to run this without removing the order by clause? My database is DB2
CREATE FUNCTION mySchema.getDates(recId INTEGER)
RETURNS VARCHAR(1024)
LANGUAGE SQL
BEGIN ATOMIC
DECLARE STR VARCHAR(1024);
SET STR = '' ;
LOOP1 : FOR ROW AS (select replace(char(myDate,EUR),'.','/') as myDate from myTable.BookingDates where recId=recId order by rec_crt-id)
DO
IF ROW.myDate IS NOT NULL THEN
SET STR = STR || CAST ( ROW.myDate AS VARCHAR ( 20 ) ) || ', ' ;
END IF ;
END FOR;
RETURN STR ;
END
SQL State: 42601
Vendor Code: -199
Message: [SQL0199] Keyword ORDER not expected. Valid tokens: ) UNION EXCEPT. Cause . . . . . : The keyword ORDER was not expected here.
This is not going to work:
where recId=recId
DB2 will not realize that you want one of these to be the function parameter and the other the column name. It will use the same one for both, having the effect of returning all rows. You need to name your function parameter something different than the column name.
Other than that, code similar to the above works fine for me.
Are you new to writing functions? One common mistake is having your SQL editor's statement delimiter set to ;. This will make it try to break up the function into statements, rather than sending the whole thing as a single command. It will lead to lots of syntax errors such as above (Sorry if you know that already, but it took me awhile to figure that out!).
I cannot figure out why this is not working. I get the same thing when I try to do an update query as well.
Here is the error " There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 43,Token in error = where ] "
Here is the actual Query INSERT INTO ads (title,price,body,enabled,where,interval,posted) VALUES('test','899','test',True,'Columbus',15,'11/25/2009 10:12:30 AM')
Where would be 'Columbus'
I am using visual studio express 2008 C#
WHERE is a reserved word, try wrapping it in brackets
INSERT INTO ads (title,price,body,enabled,[where],interval,posted)
VALUES('test','899','test',True,'Columbus',15,'11/25/2009 10:12:30 AM')
i think you should provide the value of the primary key in your insert statement,maybe SQL Server Compact databases are not generated automatically or you dont configure that.
I had the same problem this is the INSERT statement which was not working and got the same error:
INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerName,CustomerAddress,CustomerPhone)
VALUES ('Osama','Amman','656565')
this is the INSERT statement which was working fine:
INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerID,CustomerName,CustomerAddress,CustomerPhone)
VALUES ('4564','Osama','Amman','656565')
also if you have in your table columns with names have spaces like (Customer Name)
you must use brackets in your sqlCe statement as:
INSERT INTO Customers([CustomerID],[Customer Name],[Customer Address],[Customer Phone])
VALUES ('4564','Osama','Amman','656565')
also if you use SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() to get last record inserted in INSERT Statement
as:
INSERT INTO Customers(CustomerID,CustomerName,CustomerAddress,CustomerPhone)
VALUES ('4564','Osama','Amman','656565') SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()
don't use it...
I am passing a comma-delimited list of values into a stored procedure. I need to execute a query to see if the ID of an entity is in the comma-delimited list. Unfortunately, I think I do not understand something.
When I execute the following stored procedure:
exec dbo.myStoredProcedure #myFilter=N'1, 2, 3, 4'
I receive the following error:
"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '1, 2, 3, 4' to data type int."
My stored procedure is fairly basic. It looks like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[myStoredProcedure]
#myFilter nvarchar(512) = NULL
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
BEGIN
-- Remove the quote marks so the filter will work with the "IN" statement
SELECT #myFilter = REPLACE(#myFilter, '''', '')
-- Execute the query
SELECT
t.ID,
t.Name
FROM
MyTable t
WHERE
t.ID IN (#myFilter)
ORDER BY
t.Name
END
How do I use a parameter in a SQL statement as described above? Thank you!
You could make function that takes your parameter, slipts it and returns table with all the numbers in it.
If your are working with lists or arrays in SQL Server, I recommend that you read Erland Sommarskogs wonderful stuff:
Arrays and Lists in SQL Server 2005
You need to split the string and dump it into a temp table. Then you join against the temp table.
There are many examples of this, here is one at random.
http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/itai/archive/2009/02/01/t-sql-split-function.aspx
Absent a split function, something like this:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[myStoredProcedure]
#myFilter varchar(512) = NULL -- don't use NVARCHAR for a list of INTs
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
BEGIN
SELECT
t.ID,
t.Name
FROM
MyTable t
WHERE
CHARINDEX(','+CONVERT(VARCHAR,t.ID)+',',#myFilter) > 0
ORDER BY
t.Name
END
Performance will be poor. A table scan every time. Better to use a split function. See: http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql.html
I would create a function that takes your comma delimited string and splits it and returns a single column table variable with each value in its own row. Select that column from the returned table in your IN statement.
I found a cute way of doing this - but it smells a bit.
declare #delimitedlist varchar(8000)
set #delimitedlist = '|1|2|33|11|3134|'
select * from mytable where #delimitedlist like '%|' + cast(id as varchar) + '|%'
So... this will return all records with an id equal to 1, 2, 33, 11, or 3134.
EDIT:
I would also add that this is not vulnerable to SQL injection (whereas dynamic SQL relies on your whitelisting/blacklisting techniques to ensure it isn't vulnerable). It might have a performance hit on large sets of data, but it works and it's secure.
I have a couple of blog posts on this as well, with a lot of interesting followup comments and dialog:
