How to determine, inside a function, if a linked-server-query returned results

Hi, have configured an ODBC linked server for an Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA6.0) database.
I have to write a function (not a procedure) that receives a number (@.Code) and returns 1 if it was found on a table in the linked server, or 0 if not. Looks very simple...
One problem, is that the queries on a linked-server must be made through the OPENQUERY statement, which doesen't support dynamic parameters. I've solved this making the whole query a string, and executing it, something like this:

SET @.SQL='SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CAT_ASA, ''SELECT code FROM countries WHERE code=' + @.Code + ''')'
EXEC sp_executesql @.SQL

(CAT_ASA is the linked-server's name)

Then, i would use @.@.ROWCOUNT to determine if the code exists or not. But before this, a problem appears: sp_executesql is not allowed within a function (only extended procedures are allowed).
Does somebody know how to make what i want?? I prefer to avoid using temporary tables.
Thanks!I never worked with an ASA6 db but how about using four-part naming instead of OpenQuery? In a normal query, you can use variables in your where clauses. So, if the column type of CODE is not something out of the ordinary and recognized by SQL Server, everything should run fine. There could be interface problems but usually with a query as simple as yours, it should work.

This is a simple solution that doesn't really answer your question. Consider it as a possible workaround.

Good luck,

Skip.|||Thanks for your answer, Skip. I also tried using a four part name, but SQL server gave me a message saying that the ODBC Interface doesnt support four-part names. I tried with a 3 part name (linkedservername.database.table), but it still doesnt works. The error was diferent (so, I supose that the names with this ODBC interface must have three parts). I read in another thread that the only way to make a query to a linked server was using OPENQUERY or OPENROWSET. Im not really sure about that, but i tried many ways using 3 or 4 part names and it never worked.|||In addition i tried something like this:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CAT_ASA,'SELECT code FROM COUNTRIES') WHERE code=@.Code

Here i dont have to use an EXEC, so it works in a function, and i can filter the results with a condition. The problem is (sorry for not saying it before) that i wrote a very simple example, but the real query has 4 nested joins, and (because of performance) i should make it in only 1 query.
Thats why I cannot make something like this:

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CAT_ASA,'SELECT * FROM Table1')
INNER JOIN (OPENQUERY(CAT_ASA,'SELECT * FROM Table2') ON ... )

Because i would make 4 OPENQUERY, which results in a very poor performance (10/14 secs per query!!!).

Another solution would be making the join inside the OPENQUERY, and filtering the results in SQL Server, like this:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(CAT_ASA,'SELECT * FROM Table1 inner join (Table2 inner join (Table3 inner join Table 4 on...) on...)....
WHERE ...

Obviously this is worse than using 4 openquerys, because four joins without conditions (except on PKs) would return a very big quantity of records (in the order of 6.000.000.000!!!!!) and, after the conditions, that number would be reduced to 0 or 1 record (remember, i must check only the EXISTENCE of a record). That would be very inefficient.

So, I think in two ways for solving this:
1) Using the right part names (3 or 4), and making a normal query.
2) Find another method to execute a string query (or, more precisely, to determine if a string query has results), that can be used inside a function.
Thanks

How to determine the domain for sp_grantlogin?

I want to EXEC sp_grantlogin from within a stored procedure. I'm passed a
username, but also need the domain - as per the BOL
=====================
Syntax
sp_grantlogin [@.loginame =] 'login'
Arguments
[@.loginame =] 'login'
Is the name of the Windows NT user or group to be added. The Windows NT user
or group must be qualified with a Windows NT domain name in the form
Domain\User, for example London\Joeb. login is sysname, with no default.
=====================
I've been using xp_loginconfig 'default domain', but need an alternative
because I no longer have EXEC permission to xp_loginconfig.
Will SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') give me the domain? If not, what will?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Possibly depending on if you have been granted a direct login
select loginame from sysprocesses
where spid = @.@.SPID
or parse the output of:
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'SET USERDOMAIN'

agent were setup to run under an account on the default domain name you're
after... but that is also an extended stored procedure so your permissions
won't allow for that either.
Assuming you already have accounts added to your SQL server on this default
domain name you're after - you could poll the master..syslogins table for th
e
first / top example with a loginname column value like '%\%' and then use
substring to derive it. (yes, it's a hack).
I take it you are using this as a generic procedure to run on multiple
disparate SQL servers residing in more than one domain? If not, I question
why you'd even need to derive the name since it's typically going to be a
fixed value that you could hard-code (unless your box keeps getting shuffled
from domain to domain during those pesky corporate IT consolidation efforts)

how to determine the best timeout value

Hi,
I am trying to insert 75000+ records into a table via a stored procedure
(the table is empty) - the information for all those records is contained in
an xml document that is passed to the stored procedure in a string. I am
using openxml to read the xml data and to insert the records into the table:
The statement is really simple and along the lines of the example below
INSERT INTO TableA
{
SELECT CustomerId,
CustomerName
FROM
OPENXML (@.XMLDataDocHandle,'Customers/Customer',2)
WITH
(
CustomerId int 'CustomerId',
CustomerName varchar(100) 'CustomerName'
)
}
The stored procedure is executed by an application using ADO.
Sometimes the execution of this stored procedure exceeds the connection time
out (30s) and a Timeout expired exception is thrown. This happens
intermittently - so I cannot re-produce this problem at will.
It would probably best to insert the records in batches but this cannot be
done for various reasons. The only other option that I can see is to increas
e
the timeout value - however how do I determine the best value for the
timeout?
If I run the code that executes the stored procedure it executes fine within
the given timeout period (and then sometimes it doesn't and I cannot find th
e
determinant that would cause it to happen! .v.) ...also I cannot execute
the stored procedure from query analyser etc. as the xml document string is
too long to be supplied as a parameter there - and using a small document
does not cause the problem...
BTW - Has anyone an idea what could be causing the time out in the first
place?
This is driving me insane - Please help anyone?!Are you sure you are not being blocked when you timeout? Use sp_who2
periodically as the insert is happening to ensure you are not being blocked.
But you should really look at using BULK INSERT instead. This would require
you to convert the format of the file from XML to some type of delimited
file but should yield dramatically faster results.

How to determine sp caller current database?

When executing a stored procedure that is defined in another database, as:

USE db1;

EXEC db2.dbo.sproc;

Is there a way in the stored procedure "sproc" to determine that the caller made the call from db1?

If nothing else, you can use CONTEXT_INFO to retain that information.

To call the stored procedure you can do something like:

Code Snippet

USE db1;

declare @.binVar varbinary(128)
set @.binVar = convert(varbinary(128), 'db1')
set context_info @.binVar

EXEC db2.dbo.sproc;

and to fetch the information from within the stored procedure you can use something like:

Code Snippet

convert(varchar(128), context_info())

( This is assuming that db_name() is not working for you. )

how to determine if a stored proc is running

I need to determine whether a stored procedure is executiing and perform
various steps dependent on the state of the procedure in question (i.e.,
determined from sysprocesses.status). I know I can get the listing of
active commands sysprocesses.cmd (from the master table, sysprocesses),
but this doesn't give me the _stored procedure_ name, as it appears in
Enterprise Manager when you click on the ProcessID and it gives the
"Last TSQL Batch..." Where exactly is this information is this stored?
Somewhere, I assume, in MDDB?
TIA!

How to determine if a SP is running?

I need to to modify a stored procedure so that it can
determine if it is already running. I could create a
table to add/opdate a status record, but I would prefer
to read a system table looking for the proc running on
a connection if possible.
If anyone has done something like this, I would really
like to hear about it.
tia,
BillYou can't do that directly, but you can use an application lock inside your
stored procedure. See sp_getapplock in Books Online for the details.

How to determine EXEC permission to an extended stored procedure?

The following proc indicates whether you have EXEC permission to a proc -
however it fails for extended procs. I'd be grateful for a fix!
A good test is @.SPNM = 'xp_sprintf'. Note that the proc is getting a valid
object id for the extended procs.
PROCEDURE procHasExecutePermission
( @.SPNM sysname,
@.HAS bit OUTPUT
) AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @.OID int
SET @.OID = OBJECT_ID(@.SPNM)
IF @.OID IS NULL
IF SUBSTRING(@.SPNM, 1, 3) = 'sp_' OR SUBSTRING(@.SPNM, 1, 3) = 'xp_'
SET @.OID = OBJECT_ID('master..' + @.SPNM)
IF @.OID IS NULL
SET @.HAS = 0
ELSE
IF PERMISSIONS(@.OID) & 0x20 = 0x20
SET @.HAS = 1
ELSE
SET @.HAS = 0
END
Thanks in advance for your help,
Hal Heinrich
VP Technology
Aralan Solutions Inc.It doesn't fail (only) for extended procs, it fails for the objects
that begin with 'sp_' or 'xp_', because you are getting the OBJECT_ID
for the object from the master database, but the PERMISSIONS function
accepts only object id-s for objects from the current database. In some
cases, it may look like it's working for some objects from master, but
that's only because the same object id is allocated in the current
database for another object.
If you need to check for objects that may be in master, I would use
another procedure like this:
USE master
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE procHasExecutePermission1
(@.SPNM sysname, @.HAS int OUTPUT) AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @.OID int
SELECT @.OID = id FROM sysobjects
WHERE name=@.SPNM AND xtype IN ('P','X','FN')
IF @.OID IS NULL
SET @.HAS = NULL
ELSE
IF PERMISSIONS(@.OID) & 0x20 = 0x20
SET @.HAS = 1
ELSE
SET @.HAS = 0
GO
USE YourDatabase
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE procHasExecutePermission2
(@.SPNM sysname, @.HAS int OUTPUT) AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @.OID int
SELECT @.OID = id FROM sysobjects
WHERE name=@.SPNM AND xtype IN ('P','X','FN')
IF @.OID IS NULL
SET @.HAS = NULL
ELSE
IF PERMISSIONS(@.OID) & 0x20 = 0x20
SET @.HAS = 1
ELSE
SET @.HAS = 0
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE procHasExecutePermission3
(@.SPNM sysname, @.HAS int OUTPUT) AS
IF LEFT(@.SPNM,3)='sp_'
EXEC master..procHasExecutePermission1 @.SPNM, @.HAS OUTPUT
IF @.HAS IS NOT NULL RETURN
EXEC procHasExecutePermission2 @.SPNM, @.HAS OUTPUT
I have used sysobjects to check the object type, so if you pass a table
name it will return NULL instead of 0.
You may want to improve these procedures using PARSENAME if you need to
allow procedure names prefixed with the database name. If the database
name may also be other than the current database or the master
database, then it gets complicated... there may be a solution by
calling the PERMISSIONS function from Dynamic SQL.

How to determine date/time message was placed onto Queue?

I need to determine the actual date/time that a message was placed on the queue. In my "activated" procedure I want to log this information and pass it along to further processing routines. From what I can tell, the Queue table itself does not have this information captured.

Which time are you after. The time it was put on the initiator queue or the target queue?

You can add the time to the message when you send it.

|||

Ideally, both.

I was looking for something out-of-the-box... not something where I craft my own message. The messages I will be receiving are based on a pre-defined schema and I did not want to go back to the design table with adding new elements. You would think that the "queue" table would have an additional column for "created date/time" basically.

If anything else, I think that should be a consideration for a future enhancement in the next version of Broker.

|||

Please add a suggestion on connect.microsoft.com/sqlserver/feedback.

Make usre you say exactly which date you are after.

|||There would be a performance penalty for storing SENT and ENQUEUED times into the target queue for each message even if the user was not really interested in those statistics. Our current model is that any user-specific data (sent-timestamp, order-number, request-id, message-id, sender-user-name, etc) would be encapsulated into the message_body itself.

How to detect if a cursor has not been de-allocated or is still open?

Hi,

I am using try/catch block for my stored procedure (SQL Server 2005), when a cursor is used, how do I detect if the cursor has not been de-allocated or is still open?

Right now, I am using something such as

Begin Try

Begin Transaction

..................

-- mycursor will be declared and used here

....................

Commit Transaction

End Try

Begin Catch

Begin Try

Close mycursor

Deallocate mycursor

End Try

Begin Catch

--if mycursor was already closed/de-allocated,

End Catch

End Catch

I have a feeling that there must be a better way to do it.

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Cathie

Actually this is not a bad way to go if you have to use global cursors (or really cursors at all, though that is another topic). If you aren't using global cursors (DECLARE CURSOR <name> LOCAL , or use a Variable SET @.cursor = CURSOR , or even set the database option:

ALTER DATABASE <databaseName>
SET CURSOR_DEFAULT GLOBAL

And your cursors will deallocate automatically when they lose scope.

|||

Hello,

Just query the results of the new dmf:

select * from sys.dm_exec_cursors(0) -- 0 being all sessions, otherwise pass in @.@.spid

Cheers,

Rob

The following script might help you...

Read more on BOL about sp_cursor_list

Code Snippet

DECLARE My_Cursor CURSOR

FOR SELECT * FROM Sys.Objects

OPEN My_Cursor

FETCH NEXT FROM My_Cursor

DECLARE @.CursorName AS VARCHAR(100)

DECLARE @.Report CURSOR

EXEC master.dbo.sp_cursor_list @.cursor_return = @.Report OUTPUT,

@.cursor_scope = 3;

FETCH NEXT INTO @.CursorName from @.Report

WHILE (@.@.FETCH_STATUS <> -1)

BEGIN

IF @.CursorName = 'My_Cursor'

BEGIN

CLOSE My_Cursor

DEALLOCATE My_Cursor

END

FETCH NEXT INTO @.CursorName from @.Report

END

CLOSE @.Report

DEALLOCATE @.Report

How to delete a sqlserver system stored procedure in master?

Which bug, can you document that for us? Providing you are a sysadmin you
should be able to use ALTER PROC to modify a system stored procedure. As I'm
sure you're aware, making revisions like this place you in unsupported
territory,

The Enterprise Manager has an extra layer of security that does not allow

Both sp_depends and sp_depends2 rely on the sysdepends table, which is for
all practical purposes not dependable (particularly for stored procedures).
Thee is no supported utility to verify whether sysdepends table is good and
there is no supported utility to correct whatever inconsistencies or add
missing information.
