I have a SP that is supposed to compare 2 temp tables generated from a function to another table. My issue is that instead of stepping through each temp table it goes through both at the same time. I am not sure how to write the code to step through each table one at a time to get the desired results.
DROP PROCEDURE uspJudgments;
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE uspJudgments

DECLARE #Iter int

DECLARE #MaxRownum1 int
SET #MaxRownum1 = (SELECT MAX(ItemNumber) FROM #tmpFullname1)
DECLARE #Iter1 int
SET #Iter1 = (SELECT MIN(ItemNumber) FROM #tmpFullname1)
DECLARE #Name varchar(25)
DECLARE #Name1 varchar(25)
WHILE #Iter <= #MaxRownum AND #iter1 <= #Maxrownum1

SET #Name = (SELECT Item FROM #tmpFullname WHERE ItemNumber = #Iter)
SET #Name1 = (SELECT Item FROM #tmpFullname1 WHERE ItemNumber = #Iter1)
SELECT *
--INTO #tmpDefSelect
FROM defendants_ALL
WHERE combined_name LIKE '%' + #Name + '%' AND combined_name LIKE '%' + #Name1 + '%';
SET #Iter = #Iter + 1
SET #Iter1 = #Iter1 + 1
END
END
DROP TABLE #tmpFullname
DROP TABLE #tmpFullname1
EXEC uspJudgments #fullName = 'grein,smit', #fullName1 = 'joh,jon,j.'
I need to get ALL results for grein -- joh, jon, j. AND smit, joh, jon, j.
Currently the above code only returns grein joh AND smit, jon.. In our database that returns no results for the first combination and 38 results for jonathon smith and jon smith. How do I properly step through each temp table to get the desired results?
You only get the two combinations grein joh and smith jon because of the way you are iterating through #Iter and #iter1. You increment both of them at the same time. You need a nested loop like this:
declare #start_val integer = #iter1
while #Iter <= MaxRownum
begin
set #iter1 = #start_val
while #iter1 <= #Maxrownum1
begin
set #Name = ...
set #Name1 = ...
...
set #iter1 = #iter1 + 1
end
set #Iter = #Iter + 1
end
But I don't think you even need the WHILE loops:
select d.*
from defendants_ALL, #tmpFullname t1, #tmpFullname1 t2
where d.combined_name = t1.Item + ' ' + t2.Item
Or (if you need to still use LIKE):
select d.*
from defendants_ALL, #tmpFullname t1, #tmpFullname1 t2
where d.combined_name like '%' + t1.Item + '%'
and d.combined_name like '%' + t2.Item + '%'
(All SQL is untested...)

I have been using a standard block of TSQL for auditing of various tables for some time now. However I now have a problem when running the trigger on a new table: "Error converting data type varchar to numeric". This occurs when running the EXEC (#sql) line. I've determined that the code for #sql is:
insert Audit_AppointmentsWS
(Type,
TableName,
PK,
FieldName,
OldValue,
NewValue,
UpdateDate,
UserName)
SELECT 'U',
'AppointmentsWorkshop',
+convert(varchar(100), coalesce(i.UniqueID,d.UniqueID)),
'[JobHours]',
convert(varchar(1000),d.[JobHours]),
convert(varchar(1000),i.[JobHours]),
'20220816 12:32:43:410',
'DELLXPS\ian'
from #ins i full outer join #del d on i.UniqueID = d.UniqueID where ISNULL(i.JobHours],'') <> ISNULL(d.[JobHours],'')
I've tried deleting the trigger & the audit table and then recreating them but no joy. I've also tried copying an existing trigger and just changing the table details but I still get the same error. I'm completely stumped on this and would appreciate some feedback. Many thanks in advance!
Here is the trigger:

Well I finally figured it out. The error is being generated with columns of data type 'decimal' and it is down to the ISNULL section of the last SELECT. I've fixed it by checking for the decimal type and then using the following code (which included a zero rather than an empty sting):
+ ' where ISNULL(i.[' + #fieldname + '],''0'') <> ISNULL(d.[' + #fieldname + '],''0'')' --Skip identical values and excludes NULLS vs empty strings
I am using SQL Server 2016 and getting lost in the weeds using NESTED WHILE LOOPS.
In the INNER WHILE LOOP I'm populating a TEMP table (#tempClaimRecordsForInsert) that holds a PolicyNo and ClaimNo. There are 773 records. The TEMP table gets populated correctly without issue.
The problem is in the OUTER WHILE LOOP where I'm trying to populate another TEMP table where I'm trying to add 773 claims to each UserSysID from the temp table (there are 16 UserSysID records) created in the inner loop. I am NOT getting any records in the TEMP table (#tempRecordsForInsert) with all records.
Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here is my SQL code:
DECLARE #counterUserID int = 1;
DECLARE #counterClaims int = 1;
CREATE TABLE #tempClaimRecordsForInsert (
PolicyNo varchar(10)
, ClaimNo varchar(6)
);
CREATE TABLE #tempRecordsForInsert (
ReinsuranceAuditSysID int
, PolicyNo varchar(10)
, ClaimNo varchar(6)
)
WHILE #counterUserID <= (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #tempAuditorUserIdList)
BEGIN
DECLARE #UserSysID int = (SELECT l.UserSysID FROM #tempAuditorUserIdList l WHERE l.RN = #counterUserID);
WHILE #counterClaims <= (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #ClaimNo)
BEGIN
DECLARE #RN1 int = (SELECT c.RN FROM #ClaimNo c WHERE c.RN = #counterClaims);
INSERT INTO #tempClaimRecordsForInsert
SELECT c.PolicyNo, c.ClaimNo --, x.RN
FROM dbo.CMS_Claims c
INNER JOIN #ClaimNo x
ON c.ClaimNo = x.ClaimNo
WHERE x.RN = #RN1;
SET #counterClaims = (#counterClaims + 1)
END
INSERT INTO #tempRecordsForInsert
SELECT #UserSysID as ReinsuranceAuditSysID, i.ClaimNo, i.PolicyNo
FROM #tempClaimRecordsForInsert i
WHERE #UserSysID = #counterUserID
SET #counterUserID = (#counterUserID + 1)
END
SELECT * FROM #tempClaimRecordsForInsert;
DROP TABLE #tempClaimRecordsForInsert;
SELECT * FROM #tempRecordsForInsert;
DROP TABLE #tempRecordsForInsert;
Without seeing the table data is difficult to know but if you had UserSysId in the #tempClaimRecordsForInsert, then the where clause of the outer insert should be:
UserSysID = (SELECT l.UserSysID FROM #tempAuditorUserIdList l WHERE l.RN = #counterUserID)
#Jayvee, I was finally able to resolve my problem but again thank you for taking time to look at my question. Below is the code that fixed the issue. I didn't have to put in #UserSysID into the #tempClaimRecordsForInsert which I was grateful for. I found the answer stepping through my code using the SSMS Debugger in SQL Server 2016. Here is the code in the event that someone else has the same issue:
CREATE TABLE #tempClaimRecordsForInsert (
PolicyNo varchar(10)
, ClaimNo varchar(6)
);
CREATE TABLE #tempRecordsForInsert (
ReinsuranceAuditSysID int
, PolicyNo varchar(10)
, ClaimNo varchar(6)
);
DECLARE #counterUserID int = 1;
DECLARE #counterClaims int = 1;
WHILE #counterUserID <= (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #tempAuditorUserIdList)
BEGIN
DECLARE #UserSysID int = (SELECT l.UserSysID FROM #tempAuditorUserIdList l WHERE l.RN = #counterUserID);
WHILE #counterClaims <= (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #ClaimNo)
BEGIN
DECLARE #RN1 int = (SELECT c.RN FROM #ClaimNo c WHERE c.RN = #counterClaims);
INSERT INTO #tempClaimRecordsForInsert
SELECT c.PolicyNo, c.ClaimNo
FROM dbo.CMS_Claims c
INNER JOIN #ClaimNo x
ON c.ClaimNo = x.ClaimNo
WHERE x.RN = #RN1;
SET #counterClaims = (#counterClaims + 1)
END
INSERT INTO #tempRecordsForInsert
SELECT #UserSysID as ReinsuranceAuditSysID, i.PolicyNo, i.ClaimNo
FROM #tempClaimRecordsForInsert i
WHERE #UserSysID = (SELECT l.UserSysID FROM #tempAuditorUserIdList l WHERE l.RN = #counterUserID)
SET #counterUserID = (#counterUserID + 1);
END
SELECT * FROM #tempClaimRecordsForInsert ORDER BY ClaimNo asc;
SELECT * FROM #tempRecordsForInsert ORDER BY ReinsuranceAuditSysID asc, ClaimNo asc;
DROP TABLE #tempClaimRecordsForInsert;
DROP TABLE #tempRecordsForInsert;
I am leeching off this post: Query to list number of records in each table in a database
With this procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE ListTableRowCounts
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
CREATE TABLE #TableCounts
(
TableName VARCHAR(500),
CountOf INT
)
INSERT #TableCounts
EXEC sp_msForEachTable
'SELECT PARSENAME(''?'', 1),
COUNT(*) FROM ? WITH (NOLOCK)'
SELECT TableName , CountOf
FROM #TableCounts
ORDER BY TableName
DROP TABLE #TableCounts
END
GO
The procedure works well enough but I need it to output the name as Schema.Name and sort by that.
Is that possible? I'm not sure how to change this but you can see what it is doing below:
I have several instances were the table names are the same from different schemas.
CREATE PROCEDURE ListTableRowCounts
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
CREATE TABLE #TableCounts
( SchemaName VARCHAR(500),
TableName VARCHAR(500),
CountOf INT
)
INSERT #TableCounts
EXEC sp_msForEachTable
'SELECT PARSENAME(''?'', 2), PARSENAME(''?'', 1),
COUNT(*) FROM ? WITH (NOLOCK)'
SELECT SchemaName, TableName , CountOf
FROM #TableCounts
ORDER BY TableName, SchemaName
DROP TABLE #TableCounts
END
GO
Taking some code from: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1443723/4584335

Could I suggest this one (just in case "sp_msForEachTable" doesn't exist anymore):

Disclaimer: I'm dealing with a rather old legacy system so any comments telling me about poor design are redundant, although I do genuinely appreciate any such sentiment. There is a new version that solves most legacy problems but we still have to maintain the old system, so basically, we have to manage for now.
I have a table that looks like this (yes, that is a single column, I know):
And I need a view (for reporting purposes) that will dynamically process the data in said table and return this:
The values are \n-delimited (shudder) and you can assume there will always be the same number of values in each cell (9 in the example, although other databases could have 4 or 12 or any number), although I suppose having NULL-insertion in the event of missing values couldn't hurt. They will also always be in a matching order (as in the example, 'AUD', 'Australian Dollar', and '$' are all the first values in their respective cells, and so on).
I've found various approaches to splitting a single cell out into a view, but nothing that covers merging data in such a way as I require. Sitting at home with a cold has not helped my research capabilities. Help me StackOverflow, you're my only hope!
Bonus points for tidy, relatively readable SQL examples, although I'm anticipating messiness as a natural by-product of the hackish nature of my required solution.
Something like this. I didn't take the time to build out the tables, but it should be fairly obvious where you can replace my variables with your rows. You will also want to do a replace char(10) where I have used commas. You could package it up in a table valued function and then call as a view.
declare #xml1 xml
declare #xml2 xml
declare #xml3 xml
declare #c1 nvarchar(250)
declare #c2 nvarchar(250)
declare #c3 nvarchar(250)
set #c1 = N'AUD,CAD,EUR,GBP,JPY,NZD,USD,KES,CHF';
set #c2 = N'Australian Dollar,Canadian Dollar,Euro,Pound Sterling,Yen,New Zealand Dollar,United States Dollar,Kenyan Shilling, Swiss Franc';
set #c3 = N'$,$,C,L,Y,$,$,K,F';
-- you'd use replace(#c1, char(10), '</r><r>') etc etc for /n delimited code
set #xml1 = N'<root><r>' + replace(#c1,',','</r><r>') + '</r></root>';
set #xml2 = N'<root><r>' + replace(#c2,',','</r><r>') + '</r></root>';
set #xml3 = N'<root><r>' + replace(#c3,',','</r><r>') + '</r></root>';
select code.code, name.name, symbol.symbol
from
(select ROW_NUMBER() over (order by ##rowcount) as ck,
c.value('.','varchar(max)') as [code]
from #xml1.nodes('//root/r') as a(c)) as code
inner join
(select ROW_NUMBER() over (order by ##rowcount) as nk,
n.value('.','varchar(max)') as [name]
from #xml2.nodes('//root/r') as a(n)) as name on code.ck = name.nk
inner join
(select ROW_NUMBER() over (order by ##rowcount) as sk,
s.value('.','varchar(max)') as [symbol]
from #xml3.nodes('//root/r') as a(s)) as symbol on symbol.sk = name.nk
You can run this as a single script in SSMS for verification that it works. No schema necessary.

Thanks to RThomas for the function.
I have this statement in T-SQL.
SELECT Bay From TABLE where uid in (
select B_Numbers from Info_Step WHERE uid = 'number'
)
I am selecting "multiple" BAYs from TABLE where their uid is equal to a string of numbers like this:
B_Numbers = 1:45:34:98
Therefore, I should be selecting 4 different BAYs from TABLE. I basically need to split the string 1:45:34:98 up into 4 different numbers.
I'm thinking that Split() would work, but it doesn't and I get a syntax error.
Any thoughts from the T-SQL gods would be awesome!
Here is an implementation of a split function that returns the list of numbers as a table:
http://rbgupta.blogspot.com/2007/03/split-function-tsql.html
Looks like this would set you on your way...
Here is a method that uses an auxiliary numbers table to parse the input string. The logic can easily be added to a function that returns a table. That table can then be joined to lookup the correct rows.
Step 1: Create the Numbers table
SET NOCOUNT ON
GO
IF EXISTS
(
SELECT 1
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Numbers'
AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo'
AND TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
)

DROP TABLE dbo.Numbers
END
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.Numbers
(
Number smallint IDENTITY(1, 1) PRIMARY KEY
)
GO
WHILE 1 = 1
BEGIN
INSERT INTO dbo.Numbers DEFAULT VALUES
IF SCOPE_IDENTITY() = 32767
BEGIN
BREAK
END
END
GO
Step 2: Parse the Input String
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ParseString(#input_string varchar(8000), #delim varchar(8000) = " ")
RETURNS TABLE
AS RETURN
(
SELECT Number
FROM dbo.Numbers
WHERE CHARINDEX

**EXAMPLE**
SELECT * FROM dbo.ParseString('1:45:34:98',':')
Step 3: Use the results however you want/need
Number
------
1
34
45
98
End-To-End Example
Create function that returns the appropriate BNumber (of course change it to use the commented out SQL)
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetBNumber (#uid int)
RETURNS VARCHAR(8000)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN '1:45:34:98'
--select B_Numbers from Info_Step WHERE uid = #uid
END
GO
Use the use functions to return the desired results
-- Using Test Data
SELECT N.Number FROM Numbers N
JOIN dbo.ParseString(dbo.GetBNumber(12345),':') Q ON Q.Number = N.Number
-- Using Your Data (Untested but should work.)
SELECT N.Bay
FROM TABLE N
JOIN dbo.ParseString(dbo.GetBNumber(ENTER YOU NUMBER HERE),':') Q ON Q.Number = N.uid
Results
Number
------
1
34
45
98
You should keep your arrays as rows but if I understand your question I think this will work.
SELECT
Bay
From
TABLE
join Info_Step
on B_Numbers like '%'+ uid +'%'
where
Info_Step.uid = 'number'
This query will do a full table scan because of the like operator.
What you can do is loop through the B_Numbers entries and do your own split on : Insert those entries into a temp table and then perform your query.
DECLARE #i int
DECLARE #start int
DECLARE #B_Numbers nvarchar(20)
DECLARE #temp table (
number nvarchar(10)
)
-- SELECT B_Numbers FROM Info_Step WHERE uid = 'number'
SELECT #B_Numbers = '1:45:34:98'
SET #i = 0
SET #start = 0
-- Parse out characters delimited by ":";
-- Would make a nice user defined function.
WHILE #i < len(#B_Numbers)
BEGIN
IF substring(#B_Numbers, #i, 1) = ':'
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #temp
VALUES (substring(#B_Numbers, #start, #i - #start))
SET #start = #i + 1
END
SET #i = #i + 1
END
-- Insert last item
INSERT INTO #temp
VALUES (substring(#B_Numbers, #start, #i - #start + 1))
-- Do query with parsed values
SELECT Bay FROM TABLE WHERE uid in (SELECT * FROM #temp)
You can even try this
declare #str varchar(50)
set #str = '1:45:34:98'
;with numcte as(
select 1 as rn union all select rn+1 from numcte where rn<LEN(#str)),
getchars as(select
ROW_NUMBER() over(order by rn) slno,
rn,chars from numcte
cross apply(select SUBSTRING(#str,rn,1) chars)X where chars = ':')
select top 1
Bay1 = SUBSTRING(#str,0,(select rn from getchars where slno = 1))
,Bay2 = SUBSTRING(#str,
(select rn from getchars where slno = 1) + 1,
(((select rn from getchars where slno = 2)-
(select rn from getchars where slno = 1)
)-1))
,Bay3 = SUBSTRING(#str,
(select rn from getchars where slno = 2) + 1,
(((select rn from getchars where slno = 3)-
(select rn from getchars where slno = 2)
)-1))
,Bay4 = SUBSTRING(#str,
(select rn from getchars where slno = 3)+1,
LEN(#str))
from getchars
Output:
Bay1 Bay2 Bay3 Bay4
1 45 34 98
