I need to insert a record using Openquery and return the ID value,createddate as ouput parameter.
for eg. I need to insert using openquery to a remote server the customername and then retun the customer ID value,created date as output parameter.
insert statement
insert OPENQUERY(TestServer, 'select CustomerName from dbo.Customers')
select 'Testing'
How can we achive this through openquery.
Thanks
This is the only way I could get it to work...
Insert Into OpenQuery([Servername],'Select colToPopulate From [Server].[Schema].[Table];')
Select 'ValToAdd'
Select *
From OpenQuery([Servername],'Select Ident_Current(''[Server].[Schema].[Table]'')')
SQL was being a punk when trying to use an OUTPUT clause.

This may be a very basic question, but I have been struggling with this.
I have a SSMS query that I'll be using multiple times for a large set of client Ids. Its quite cumbersome to have to amend the parameters in all the where clauses every time I want to run it.
For simplicity, I want to convert a query like the one below:
SELECT
ID,
Description
From TestDb
Where ID in ('1-234908','1-345678','1-12345')
to a query of the format below so that I only need to change my variable field once and it can be applied across my query:
USE TestDb
DECLARE #ixns NVARCHAR(100)
SET #ixns = '''1-234908'',''1-345678'',''1-12345'''
SELECT
ID,
Description
From TestDb
Where ID IN #ixns
However, the above format doesn't work. Can anyone help me on how I can use a varchar/string variable in my "where" clause for my query so that I can query multiple IDs at the same time and only have to adjust/set my variable once?
Thanks in advance :D
The most appropriate solution would be to use a table variable:
DECLARE #ixns TABLE (id NVARCHAR(100));
INSERT INTO #ixns(id) VALUES
('1-234908'),
('1-345678'),
('1-12345');
SELECT ID, Description
FROM TestDb
WHERE ID IN (SELECT id FROM #ixns);
You can load ids to temp table use that in where condition
USE TestDb
DECLARE #tmpIDs TABLE
(
id VARCHAR(50)
)
insert into #tmpIDs values ('1-234908')
insert into #tmpIDs values ('1-345678')
insert into #tmpIDs values ('1-12345')
SELECT
ID,
Description
From TestDb
Where ID IN (select id from #tmpIDs)
The most appropriate way is to create a table type because it is possible to pass this type as parameters.
1) Creating the table type with the ID column.
create type MyListID as table
(
Id int not null
)
go
2) Creating the procedure that receives this type as a parameter.
create procedure MyProcedure
(
#MyListID as MyListID readonly
)
as
select
column1,
column2
...
from
MyTable
where
Id in (select Id from #MyListID)
3) In this example you can see how to fill this type through your application ..: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25871046/8286724
what i am tryin to do is make a table(#tbl) runtime and insert the data from the select statement from the database,as what i have done so far is
declare #tbl TABLE (
Item int
)
begin
insert into #tbl values select cid from tbl_custumer where cus_ph like '%'+'987'+'%'
select * from #tbl
end
as "select cid" statement returns multiple records
I think you might want the code to look like this:
begin
declare #tbl TABLE (
Item int
);
insert into #tbl(Item)
select cid
from tbl_custumer
where cus_ph like '%'+'987'+'%';
select *
from #tbl;
end;
Notes:
The begin/end block is not really necessary, but I'm guessing you want it for other reasons (a stored procedure, if, or something similar).
The values keyword is not needed when using insert . . . select.
Use semicolons at the end of each SQL statement. Although they are optional, they make the code easier to follow.
The answer escapes me...maybe because it is not possible...
Example that works...
SELECT * FROM TABLEA WHERE FIELD1 IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc')
Example that does not work...
Attempt to leverage variable so that I can define the values once in a string of statements
DECLARE #ListValues VARCHAR(50)
SET #ListValues = '''aaa'',''bbb'',''ccc'''
SELECT * FROM TABLEA WHERE FIELD1 IN (#ListValues)
This is is obviously only a small part of the equation and for other reasons...
I cannot leverage a table for the values and change this to a true sub-query
The closest question I could find was this one... but does not cover my requirements obviously...
Storing single quotes in varchar variable SQL Server 2008
Thanks in advance.
You can do this using dynamic SQL:
DECLARE #ListValues VARCHAR(MAX)
,#SQL VARCHAR(MAX)
SELECT #ListValues = '''aaa'',''bbb'',''ccc'''
,#SQL = 'SELECT * FROM TABLEA WHERE FIELD1 IN ('+#ListValues+')'
EXEC (#SQL)
It doesn't work because the IN operator expects a list of items - here strings.
What you're supplying with your #ListValues variable however is a single string - not a list of strings.
What you could do is use a table variable and store your values in it:
DECLARE #ListOfValues TABLE (ItemName VARCHAR(50))
INSERT INTO #ListOfValues(ItemName)
VALUES('aaa'), ('bbb'), ('ccc')
SELECT *
FROM TABLEA
WHERE FIELD1 IN (SELECT ItemName FROM #ListOfValues)
Build your whole SQL query dynamically (say it's stored in a string variable #sql),
and then execute it with EXEC (#sql). Better yet, use the sp_executesql SP
because this approach is more secure (less prone to SQL injection) than EXEC.
See: sp_executesql
The IN operator in SQLServer expect a list of values, your variable is a single string, the query parsed will be different
SELECT * FROM TABLEA WHERE FIELD1 IN ('aaa','bbb','ccc')
SELECT * FROM TABLEA WHERE FIELD1 IN ("'aaa','bbb','ccc'")
Attention: the double quotes are there only for readability, to get the string with single quote in it.
if you know a programming language the first one is like searching in an array, the second is a string.
To store a list in your variable it need to a table
DECLARE #varTable TABLE (field1 varchar())
So that you can use it in your IN
SELECT * FROM TABLEA WHERE FIELD1 IN (SELECT field1 FROM #varTable)
To add values to the table variable use an INSERT statament like usual for tables.
I am doing the following:
Insert into table1
(Phone#) values #Phone
There is a custom function which will format the phone number. It accepts as input parameter the phone number and returns the formatted version.
I tried the following but not sure it would not work:
Insert into table1
(Phone#) values fn_phone(#Phone)
It says fn_phone is not a recognized built in function name. Am I doing something wrong on how I am calling fn_phone?
Use two-part name when you are calling UDF
Try this:
Insert into table1
(Phone#) select dbo.fn_phone(#Phone)
try:
Insert into table1 (Phone#)
SELECT dbo.fn_phone(#Phone) (or whatever schema your function is in)
Assuming the function is from "dbo" schema :
Insert into table1
(Phone#) values (dbo.fn_phone(#Phone))
I am inserting some raw data into a table in MS SQL 2005 from excel.
Some of these data are not formatted correctly ie the amount colum is formatteT as a number 12345 whereas i need to be like 123.45 so i use this
CAST(TRANSACTION_HISTORY.AMOUNT AS decimal) / 100
to convert it correctly.
However is there a way to use the cast in an insert statement??
thanks
You can use CAST in any kind of statement(Insert, update, delete, select) where you use data.
Insert into table1 values( CAST(col1 as nvarchar(50)) )
I assume you're using a linked server or openquery to get the data from excel. You can cast in the select statement.
So
INSERT INTO YourTable
SELECT Cast(Transaction_History.Amount AS Decimal)/100
FROM EXCELLINK...[$Sheet1]
You could also just update all values in the table after you do the import
UPDATE YourTable
SET YourColumn = YourColumn/100
