I would like to get the out put of a stored proc call and create a permanent table with out specifying columns. Because the stored proc return lots of columns...
So.. how can I do this??
SELECT * INTO MYTABLE FROM MYSTOREDPROC #PARAM1 = 1, #PARAM2 = 'HELLO'
is it possible??
Example would help me alot
you can't generate the table from calling stored procedure. However, edit the called stored procedure and alter the select that generates the result set to have an INTO YourNewTable clause:
SELECT
columns....
INTO YourNewTable
from ...
where
order by...
Run the procedure 1 time, to generate the table. remove the changes (INTO YourNewTable clause) and then call the procedure as:
INSERT INTO YourNewTable
EXEC YourProcedure params...

I have created a procedure to generate temp table using colpivot https://github.com/hnsl/colpivot
and saving the result into a physical table as below in PGSQL
create or replace procedure create_report_table()
language plpgsql
as $$
begin
drop table if exists reports;
select colpivot('_report',
'select
u.username,
c.shortname as course_short_name,
to_timestamp(cp.timecompleted)::date as completed
FROM mdl_course_completions AS cp
JOIN mdl_course AS c ON cp.course = c.id
JOIN mdl_user AS u ON cp.userid = u.id
WHERE c.enablecompletion = 1
ORDER BY u.username' ,array['username'], array['course_short_name'], '#.completed', null);
create table reports as (SELECT * FROM _report);
commit;
end; $$
colpivot function , drop table , delete table works really fine in isolation. but when I create the procedure as above, and call the procedure to execute, this throws an error Query has no result in destination data
Is there any way I can use colpivot in collaboration with several queries as I am currently trying ?
Use PERFORM instead of SELECT. That will execute the statement, without the need to keep the result somewhere. This is what the manual says:
Sometimes it is useful to evaluate an expression or SELECT query but discard the result, for example when calling a function that has
side-effects but no useful result value. To do this in PL/pgSQL, use
the PERFORM statement
I'm new with SAS and I try to copy my Code from Access vba into SAS.
In Access I use often the SELECT INTO funtion, but it seems to me this function is not in SAS.
I have two tables and I get each day new data and I want to update my table with the new lines. Now I Need to check if some new lines appear -> if yes insert this lines into the old table.
I tried some Code from stackoverflow and other stuff from Google, but I didn't find something which works.
INSERT INTO OLD_TABLE T
VALUES (GRVID = VTGONR)
FROM NEW_TABLE V
WHERE not exists (SELECT V.VTGONR FROM NEW_TABLE V WHERE T.GRVID = V.VTGONR);
Not sure what the purpose of using the VALUES keyword is in your example. PROC SQL uses VALUES() to list static values. Like:
VALUES (100)
SAS just uses normal SQL syntax instead. See for example: https://www.techonthenet.com/sql/insert.php
To specify the observations to insert just use SELECT. You can add a WHERE clause as part of the select to limit the rows that you select to insert. To tell INSERT which columns to insert into list them inside () after the table name. Otherwise it will expect the order that the columns are listed in the select statement to match the order of the columns in the target table.
insert into old_table(GRVID)
select VTGONR from new_table
where VTGONR not in (select GRVID from old_table)
;
An xml file gets parsed and populates 7 tables within a stored procedure in an SSIS package.
When I pass an empty xml file one of the tables (Eg Table7) was still getting populated.
As a workaround to prevent it, I added an IF statement. When I run my procedure in SSMS I get the desired results as the #RecCt =0. All inserts are bypassed.
But when I execute the SSIS package, only ‘Table7’ gets populated (This table has summary values).
Create procedure SP_test
As
Begin
Declare #RecCt int
select #RecCt=(select count(*) from dbo.Order)
If #RecCt >0
Begin
Insert into Table1 …
Insert into Table2 …
Insert into Table3 …
Insert into Table4 …
Insert into Table5 …
Insert into Table6 …
Insert into Table7 …
End
Else
Begin
Select ‘Empty File’
End
End
Why is this happening in spite of being evaluated as false? Thank you much. SD
I'm using Firebird as DB and I need to do this:
INSERT INTO TG (ID, UID, GID)
SELECT (INSERT INTO TBO VALUES (GEN_ID('o',1)) RETURNING ID), UID, 10
FROM TBL l
WHERE l.is=1
the part with select is OK when I use:
SELECT (GEN_ID('o',1)), UID, 10
FROM TBL l
WHERE l.is=1
but I need the ID in other table for dependency first.
I know about something called procedures but I have no idea how to use them. Is there an option to do this using SQL?
Take a look at EXECUTE BLOCK statement. It allow you to execute multiple statements in one "batch" or write complex logic if you cannot embed it in one SQL query.
Inside EXECUTE BLOCK you can write mutiple commands using PSQL.
EB allow input params, output params (yes you can use it as a table), local variables, if statement, while, for select etc... very powerfull tool.
Just prepare your block and execute it like simple SQL query.
A simpler aproach would be to use triggers.
In this example it would be a before insert trigger.
Something like this:
CREATE TRIGGER TG_BI0 FOR TABLE TG ACTIVE BEFORE INSERT 0
AS
BEGIN
/* Before insert create a new record in TBO */
INSERT INTO TBO (ID) VALUES (NEW.ID);
END
After having this trigger you shloud only insert records in TG.
INSERT INTO TG (ID, UID, GID)
VALUES (GEN_ID('o',1), 'SOME_UUID', 10)
Due to a legacy report generation system, I need to use a cursor to traverse the result set from a stored procedure. The system generates report output by PRINTing data from each row in the result set. Refactoring the report system is way beyond scope for this problem.
As far as I can tell, the DECLARE CURSOR syntax requires that its source be a SELECT clause. However, the query I need to use lives in a 1000+ line stored procedure that generates and executes dynamic sql.
Does anyone know of a way to get the result set from a stored procedure into a cursor?
I tried the obvious:
Declare Cursor c_Data For my_stored_proc #p1='foo', #p2='bar'
As a last resort, I can modify the stored procedure to return the dynamic sql it generates instead of executing it and I can then embed this returned sql into another string and, finally, execute that. Something like:
Exec my_stored_proc #p1='foo', #p2='bar', #query='' OUTPUT
Set #sql = '
Declare Cursor c_Data For ' + #query + '
Open c_Data
-- etc. - cursor processing loop etc. goes here '
Exec #sql
Any thoughts? Does anyone know of any other way to traverse the result set from a stored proc via a cursor?
Thanks.
You could drop the results from the stored proc into a temp table and select from that for your cursor.
CREATE TABLE #myResults
(
Col1 INT,
Col2 INT
)
INSERT INTO #myResults(Col1,Col2)
EXEC my_Sp
DECLARE sample_cursor CURSOR
FOR
SELECT
Col1,
Col2
FROM
#myResults
Another option may be to convert your stored procedure into a table valued function.
DECLARE sample_cursor CURSOR
FOR
SELECT
Col1,
Col2
FROM
dbo.NewFunction('foo', 'bar')
You use INSERT ... EXEC to push the result of the procedure into a table (can be a temp #table or a #table variable), the you open the cursor over this table. The article in the link discusses the problems that may occur with this technique: it cannot be nested and it forces a transaction around the procedure.
You could execute your SP into a temporary table and then iterate over the temporary table with the cursor
create table #temp (columns)
insert into #temp exec my_stored_proc ....
perform cursor work
drop table #temp
