Not able to get INSERT of SP to work - sql

Question

I am not able to get the INSERT portion of the below procedure to work. Any help would be appreciated....
#currTable varchar(100),
#ID int,
#short_Text varchar(250),
#brief_Descrip varchar(250) = Null,
#needsTranslation varchar(10) = Null,
#prev_LangString varchar(250) = Null,
#lang_String varchar(250) = Null,
#original_lang_String varchar(250) = Null,
#StringID_from_Master int,
#GUID varchar(250) = Null
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE #submitDate1 DATETIME;
SET #submitDate1 = GETDATE()
SET #prev_LangString = #original_lang_String
DECLARE #sql NVARCHAR(MAX);
SELECT #sql = N' UPDATE ' + QUOTENAME(#currTable) + ' SET [lang_String] = ''' + REPLACE(#lang_String,'''','''''') + ''', [date_Changed] = ''' + convert(varchar(20), #submitDate1) + ''', [prev_LangString] = ''' + #prev_LangString + ''', [needsTranslation] = ''' + #needsTranslation + ''' WHERE ID = ' + RTRIM(#ID) + '; ';
EXEC sp_executesql #sql;
INSERT tblPendingDBUpdates
( stringMasterID,
databaseName,
databaseStringID,
englishText,
foreignLangText,
submitDate,
GUID
)
SELECT #StringID_from_Master,
Database_Name,
dbKeyID_ofStringName,
#short_Text,
#lang_String,
#submitDate1,
#GUID
FROM tblDBUsage
WHERE tblUniquetblStringsMaster_ID = #StringID_from_Master;
END
I tried this code block only and no luck it did not INSERT to tblPendingDBUpdates.... Noticed something weird about GUID as field name so changed it in table also...
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE #submitDate1 DATETIME;
SET #submitDate1 = GETDATE()
-- SET #prev_LangString = #original_lang_String
DECLARE #sql NVARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE #currTable varchar(100);
SET #currTable = 'tblLangenUS'
DECLARE #ID INT;
SET #ID = 2
DECLARE #short_Text varchar(250);
SET #short_Text = 'testing99'
DECLARE #StringID_from_Master INT;
SET #StringID_from_Master = 2
DECLARE #lang_String varchar(250);
SET #lang_String = 'testing9999'
DECLARE #GUID1 varchar(250);
SET #GUID1 = 'Null'
INSERT tblPendingDBUpdates
( stringMasterID,
databaseName,
databaseStringID,
englishText,
foreignLangText,
submitDate,
GUID1
)
SELECT #StringID_from_Master,
Database_Name,
dbKeyID_ofStringName,
#short_Text,
#lang_String,
#submitDate1,
#GUID1
FROM tblDBUsage
WHERE tblUniquetblStringsMaster_ID = #StringID_from_Master;
END

I don't really know what you need but here is a stored proc with your declarations
CREATE PROCEDURE TestProc
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE #submitDate1 DATETIME
SET #submitDate1 = GETDATE()
DECLARE #sql NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #StringID_from_Master INT
SET #StringID_from_Master = 2
DECLARE #short_Text varchar(250)
SET #short_Text = 'testing99'
DECLARE #lang_String varchar(250)
SET #lang_String = 'testing9999'
DECLARE #GUID1 varchar(250)
SET #GUID1 = 'Null'
BEGIN
EXEC sp_executesql #sql
END
BEGIN
INSERT INTO tblPendingDBUpdates
(
stringMasterID,
databaseName,
databaseStringID,
englishText,
foreignLangText,
submitDate,
GUID1
)
SELECT
#StringID_from_Master,
Database_Name,
dbKeyID_ofStringName,
#short_Text,
#lang_String,
#submitDate1,
#GUID1
FROM tblDBUsage
WHERE tblUniquetblStringsMaster_ID = #StringID_from_Master
END
END
GO

Answer 2

Well as far I understand it ... change the SP code to below and try again ... most probably will work fine
CREATE PROCEDURE <SOME NAME>
AS
BEGIN
<ALL YOUR DECLARATION HERE>
BEGIN
EXEC sp_executesql #sql;
END
GO
BEGIN
INSERT INTO tblPendingDBUpdates
(stringMasterID,
databaseName,
databaseStringID,
englishText,
foreignLangText,
submitDate,
GUID1)
SELECT #StringID_from_Master,
Database_Name,
dbKeyID_ofStringName,
#short_Text,
#lang_String,
#submitDate1,
#GUID1
FROM tblDBUsage
WHERE tblUniquetblStringsMaster_ID = #StringID_from_Master;
END
END
GO

If your not getting an error message and inserting zero rows, than you select statement must not be returning anything.
what does this return?
select *
FROM tblDBUsage
WHERE tblUniquetblStringsMaster_ID = #StringID_from_Master
If you're first stored proc it didn't look like #StringID_from_Master ever got set. That could be your problem.
