I'm trying to get all the conversation handlers to get closed, before killing the service broker.
I see that in the code above I cannot quite get the guid for conversation_handler (If I debug I see it has an empty value shown as {...}).
Furthermore, sometimes the ##ROWCOUNT returns 1 (even when the queried queue table is empty).
Am I missing something about how to retrieve output parameters using sp_executesql ?
set rowcount 1
--ITERATORS
declare #ServiceName varchar(100)
select #ServiceName = ServiceName from #services_and_queues
declare #QueueName varchar(100)
select #QueueName = QueueName from #services_and_queues
declare #IsMsShipped bit
select #IsMsShipped = IsMsShipped from #services_and_queues
while ##rowcount <> 0
begin
set rowcount 0
--SYSTEM QUEUES CANNOT BE CHANGED, NOR THE SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM
if( #IsMsShipped = 0)
BEGIN
--END ALL THE CONVERSATIONS FOR THE CURRENT QUEUE
declare #conversation_handler uniqueidentifier
while(1=1)
begin
DECLARE #SQL nvarchar(max) = N'select top 1 #conversation_handler = conversation_handle from ' + #QueueName
exec sp_executesql #SQL, N'#conversation_handler uniqueidentifier out', #conversation_handler out
if (##ROWCOUNT = 0 or #conversation_handler = null or trim(CAST(#conversation_handler AS char(36))) = '')
break
end conversation #conversation_handler with cleanup
end
END
delete #services_and_queues where ServiceName = #ServiceName
set rowcount 1
select #ServiceName = ServiceName from #services_and_queues
select #QueueName = QueueName from #services_and_queues
select #IsMsShipped = IsMsShipped from #services_and_queues
end
set rowcount 0
DROP TABLE #services_and_queues

I have read that others have had problems with this type of truncation and I have tried multiple suggestions but in the end the I am getting capped at 68274 in this code with nvarchar(max). For troubleshooting, I am saving the results of the variables and the len of these variables to a table to eliminate the SSMS cap on the display of strings.
I have tried cast(#varible as nvarchar(max)) on the right side of the = sign. I have changed the data type lengths (as the select that is being built is not that large, it is just large after it has been union for each unique customer)
I am open to any suggestions as I have tried many variations of datatype declarations for these variables.
Our application does not delete data as we retain it for a period of time, instead we have a column "deleted" (bit) in most tables of the database that store data which we mark 1 when deleted, otherwise the default is 0.
I'd like to create a stored procedure that iterates all tables in the database, checks for the existence of a column named "deleted" and if it exists, I run a check against the LastUpdatedUtc column (datetime2) and if the date is over 6 months old and deleted = 1 then we delete the row.
This application is under continuous development so tables could be added which is why I want to create a script that iterates tables instead of having to add a line for each table and remember to add them as new tables are added.
Any help in a SQL Server 2008 R2 stored procedure to this would be a great help.
Thank you.
EDIT (thank you Omaer) here is what I've come up with so far. Anyone that knows a better way let me know.

This is my first attempt, not tested it so there might be some typos/syntax errors but this should get you started:
declare #date6MonthsBack varchar(50)
select #date6MonthsBack = dateadd(month, -6, getdate());
declare c cursor for

and object_id in (select object_id from sys.columns where name = 'LastUpdatedUtc')
declare #sql varchar(max)
open c; fetch next from c into #sql
while (##fetch_status = 0) begin
print(#sql)
--exec(#sql) --uncomment this line to do the actual deleting once you have verified the commands.
fetch next from c into #sql; end
close c; deallocate c
You could use undocummented sp_MSforeactable procedure instead of loop or cursor. Something like code below. I created procedure that runs your code and is executed with sp_MSforeachtable. The disadvantage is - the procedure is undocumented and may not be supported in next SQL Server releases
IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.usp_cleanup') IS NULL

This creates no syntax errors when compiling the dynamic code, however when calling this procedure: Msg 1087, Level 15, State 2, Line 27
Must declare the table variable "#ServerAndDB_for_pfcAppended".
When I use this type of structure passing the location variable in as a global variable from outside the procedure it accepts it correctly, however as a local variable it seems to default to presuming I intend it to be a table variable.
I do NOT want to create a table variable. Is this an impossible structure?
The error is caused by the fact that you are attempting to have a parametrised table name. This is not possible, and whenever a table name should be a parameter, a dynamic query is used, basically like this:
SET #sql = 'SELECT … FROM ' + #tablename + ' WHERE …'
I think, in your situation the cursor should be taken out of the dynamic query, except for the part that uses the parametrised table name. Something like this should probably do:

I have a piece of dynamic SQL I need to execute, I then need to store the result into a variable.
I know I can use sp_executesql but can't find clear examples around about how to do this.
If you have OUTPUT parameters you can do
DECLARE #retval int
DECLARE #sSQL nvarchar(500);
DECLARE #ParmDefinition nvarchar(500);
DECLARE #tablename nvarchar(50)
SELECT #tablename = N'products'
SELECT #sSQL = N'SELECT #retvalOUT = MAX(ID) FROM ' + #tablename;
SET #ParmDefinition = N'#retvalOUT int OUTPUT';
EXEC sp_executesql #sSQL, #ParmDefinition, #retvalOUT=#retval OUTPUT;
SELECT #retval;
But if you don't, and can not modify the SP:
-- Assuming that your SP return 1 value
create table #temptable (ID int null)
insert into #temptable exec mysp 'Value1', 'Value2'
select * from #temptable
Not pretty, but works.
DECLARE #vi INT
DECLARE #vQuery NVARCHAR(1000)
SET #vQuery = N'SELECT #vi= COUNT(*) FROM <TableName>'
EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL
#Query = #vQuery
, #Params = N'#vi INT OUTPUT'
, #vi = #vi OUTPUT
SELECT #vi
DECLARE #tab AS TABLE (col1 VARCHAR(10), col2 varchar(10))
INSERT into #tab EXECUTE sp_executesql N'
SELECT 1 AS col1, 2 AS col2
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 AS col1, 2 AS col2
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 AS col1, 2 AS col2'
SELECT * FROM #tab
Return values are generally not used to "return" a result but to return success (0) or an error number (1-65K). The above all seem to indicate that sp_executesql does not return a value, which is not correct. sp_executesql will return 0 for success and any other number for failure.
In the below, #i will return 2727
DECLARE #s NVARCHAR(500)
DECLARE #i INT;
SET #s = 'USE [Blah]; UPDATE STATISTICS [dbo].[TableName] [NonExistantStatisticsName];';
EXEC #i = sys.sp_executesql #s
SELECT #i AS 'Blah'
SSMS will show this
Msg 2727, Level 11, State 1, Line 1
Cannot find index 'NonExistantStaticsName'.
If you want to return more than 1 value use this:
DECLARE #sqlstatement2 NVARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE #retText NVARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE #ParmDefinition NVARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE #retIndex INT = 0;
SELECT #sqlstatement = 'SELECT #retIndexOUT=column1 #retTextOUT=column2 FROM XXX WHERE bla bla';
SET #ParmDefinition = N'#retIndexOUT INT OUTPUT, #retTextOUT NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT';
exec sp_executesql #sqlstatement, #ParmDefinition, #retIndexOUT=#retIndex OUTPUT, #retTextOUT=#retText OUTPUT;
returned values are in #retIndex and #retText
Declare #variable int
Exec #variable = proc_name
DECLARE #ValueTable TABLE
(
Value VARCHAR (100)
)
SELECT #sql = N'SELECT SRS_SizeSetDetails.'+#COLUMN_NAME+' FROM SRS_SizeSetDetails WHERE FSizeID = '''+#FSizeID+''' AND SRS_SizeSetID = '''+#SRS_SizeSetID+'''';
INSERT INTO #ValueTable
EXEC sp_executesql #sql;
SET #Value='';
SET #Value = (SELECT TOP 1 Value FROM #ValueTable)
DELETE FROM #ValueTable
This worked for me:
DECLARE #SQL NVARCHAR(4000)
DECLARE #tbl Table (
Id int,
Account varchar(50),
Amount int
)
-- Lots of code to Create my dynamic sql statement
insert into #tbl EXEC sp_executesql #SQL
select * from #tbl
Here's something you can try
DECLARE #SqlStatement NVARCHAR(MAX) = ''
,#result XML
,#DatabaseName VARCHAR(100)
,#SchemaName VARCHAR(10)
,#ObjectName VARCHAR(200);
SELECT #DatabaseName = 'some database'
,#SchemaName = 'some schema'
,#ObjectName = 'some object (Table/View)'
SET #SqlStatement = '
SELECT #result = CONVERT(XML,
STUFF( ( SELECT *
FROM
(
SELECT TOP(100)
*
FROM ' + QUOTENAME(#DatabaseName) +'.'+ QUOTENAME(#SchemaName) +'.' + QUOTENAME(#ObjectName) + '
) AS A1
FOR XML PATH(''row''), ELEMENTS, ROOT(''recordset'')
), 1, 0, '''')
)
';
EXEC sp_executesql #SqlStatement,N'#result XML OUTPUT', #result = #result OUTPUT;
SELECT DISTINCT
QUOTENAME(r.value('fn:local-name(.)', 'VARCHAR(200)')) AS ColumnName
FROM #result.nodes('//recordset/*/*') AS records(r)
ORDER BY ColumnName
This was a long time ago, so not sure if this is still needed, but you could use ##ROWCOUNT variable to see how many rows were affected with the previous sql statement.
This is helpful when for example you construct a dynamic Update statement and run it with exec. ##ROWCOUNT would show how many rows were updated.
Here is the definition
