the multi-part identifier "#tmpFullname.Item" could not be bound." - tsql

Question

The following code is supposed to take a string that may or may not be comma delimited and put it into a table (#tmpFullanme) that part works flawlessly. The second part is supposed return all the values that are LIKE / NOT LIKE with or without % symbols based on what is input. The error that I am getting is "the multi-part identifier "#tmpFullname.Item" could not be bound." The best guess I have is that it may be out of scope?
DROP PROCEDURE uspJudgments;
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE uspJudgments
#fullName varchar(100), #SrchCriteria1 varchar(15), #SrchCriteria2 varchar(15), #qualifier varchar(10)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT *
INTO #tmpFullname
FROM dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(#fullName, ',')
DECLARE #Query NVarChar(1024)
SET #Query = 'SELECT d.*' + ' FROM defendants_ALL d, #tmpFullname' +
' WHERE d.combined_name' + ' ' + #qualifier + ' ' + '''' + #SrchCriteria1 + '''' + ' + ' + '''' + #tmpFullname.Item + '''' + ' + ' + '''' + #SrchCriteria2 + ''''
END
EXEC sp_executesql #Query
PRINT(#Query)
IF OBJECT_ID('#tmpFullname', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #tmpFullname
EXEC uspJudgments #qualifier = 'LIKE', #fullName = 'johnson', #SrchCriteria1 = '%', #SrchCriteria2 = '%'
Cannot get to the PRINT output as "the multi-part identifier "#tmpFullname.Item" could not be bound." If I change #tmpFullname.Item to '#tmpFullname.Item it goes through and returns nothing but it shows that the query is correct minus the issue with that table.
SELECT d.* FROM defendants_ALL d, #tmpFullname WHERE d.combined_name LIKE '%' + '#tmpFullname.Item' + '%'
Please note that until I made this into a dynamic query so I can change the statement from LIKE to IN etc it worked very well.

I set up a full test to get the proper script to get you your desired results. I also have a SQL Fiddle showing how this works. Note You will want to run EXECUTE sp_executesql #Query inside the stored procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE uspJudgments #fullName varchar(100)
, #SrchCriteria1 varchar(15)
, #SrchCriteria2 varchar(15)
, #qualifier varchar(10)
AS
BEGIN
--Simulates your split function
SELECT *
INTO #tmpFullName
FROM
(
SELECT 'firstTest' AS Item
UNION ALL SELECT 'secondTest'
UNION ALL SELECT 'NotThere'
) AS t;
DECLARE #Query NVARCHAR(1024);
SELECT #Query = 'SELECT d.* '
+ ' FROM defendants_ALL d '
+ ' CROSS JOIN #tmpFullName AS t '
+ ' WHERE d.combined_name' + ' ' + #qualifier + ' '
+ '''' + #SrchCriteria1 + ''''
+ ' + ' + 't.Item' + ' + ' + '''' + #SrchCriteria2 + '''';
EXECUTE sp_executesql #Query;
END
EXECUTE uspJudgments
#fullName = 'does not matter'
, #SrchCriteria1 = '%'
, #SrchCriteria2 = '%'
, #qualifier = 'LIKE';

You have to use the tempdb prefix in this case
insert into tempdb..#TABLENAME
and
set #query = 'select * from tempdb..#TABLENAME'

Well, After my last answer i have found several things..
When i look into your procedure you start with the "BEGIN", next you do a insert into the "#tmpFullName" table, your declare the "#Query" variable and create a select statement.
After that you do and "END" with logic after it. You do the "sp_executesql" after that you drop the temptable and you do and EXEC of the current procedure..
The Structure isn't all that readable, sorry to tell you. So maybe you go there first.
Beside a strange structure you are using the "#tmpFullName.Item" in some dynamic SQL as a parameter, while it is declared inside the SQL query it self. So you have to do something like this :
SET #Query = 'SELECT d.*' + ' FROM defendants_ALL d, #tmpFullname' +
' WHERE d.combined_name' + ' ' + #qualifier + ' ' + '''' + #SrchCriteria1 + '''' + ' + ' + ' #tmpFullname.Item ' + ' + ' + '''' + #SrchCriteria2 + ''''
Where the "#tmpFullName.Item" resides insde the code, not as a parameter. But then again, what are you trying to achieve here? To answer this completly we have to know what the other variables are. Your structure isn't telling me what are trying to achieve..
I really can't make any more out of it...
