All the data validation is done in the business layer so the data hitting the database is clean and I write perfect stored procedures so I don't need error trapping in the database.
Once a procedure is coded it generally does not break unless there is a change in structure. The few cases where I can identify this may be prevalent is where I use try/catch structures.
I do have a trigger based logging system but that is not error trapping.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Hello,
I want to pass the sort as an input parameter to the stored proc.
I am constructing a dynamic sql and executing it. The problem is more like a syntax issue, where in I an checking for certain value in sql.
----
Set @sql1 = '
SELECT distinct
sd.storeno storeno,
sd.storename storename
FROM
test_table sd
where sd.status='N'
ORDER by'
set @sql1 = @sql1 + ' ' + @sort
---------
How would I check for additional conditions in this sql? I tried to enclose N in double still did not work.
Many thanks!

you should use '''N'''
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your response.
It should be within two single quotes, like
''N''
|
|
|
|
|
That would be ''''N''''
try:
declare @sql1 varchar(2000)
Set @sql1 = '
SELECT distinct
sd.storeno storeno,
sd.storename storename
FROM
test_table sd
where sd.status=''''N''''
ORDER by'
print @sql1
Output:
SELECT distinct
sd.storeno storeno,
sd.storename storename
FROM
test_table sd
where sd.status=''N''
ORDER by
|

When you wish to embed single quotes within dynamic strings, use two consecutive single quotes, like this:
Set @sql1 = '
SELECT distinct
sd.storeno storeno,
sd.storename storename
FROM
test_table sd
where sd.status=''N''
ORDER by'
set @sql1 = @sql1 + ' ' + @sort
EDIT: Corrected a mistake.

I don't know but just the double single quotes worked for me.
''N''
|
|
|
|
|
Seems to be some confusion in the back and forth in the answers above.
A SQL text literal is expressed like the following example.
'abc'
If you want to embed a single tick in the above literal you MUST escape it. The standard SQL (ANSI) idiom for that is as follows (but some databases offer other ways.)
'a''bc'
So two single ticks become one.
Three ticks is NEVER correct.

Priority ways email finding
I have following tables in project
Customer => Customer details
=> Coloums are Customer Name, Customer Type (Gold, Silver, Platinum)
Contact => Can have multiple contacts to a customer
=> Coloums are Customer Id, Name, email, Designation (D1 to D10).
we need to create an SP (MS SQL 2005 ) which returns priority 1 and priority 2 emails of customer (Customer Id will be passed as input) based on following criteria .
When Customer Type is "Gold" Customer, choose email based on following Designation
1. D1, D3,
2 D4, D6
3, D5, D7, D8
Logic :
a). if D1 exist select D1 and move to set 2,
D1 NOT exist select D3 and Move to set 2
D3 NOT exist move to set 2
b) if D4 exist select D4 and move to set 3,
D4 NOT exist select D6 and Move to set 3
D6 NOT exist move to set 3
Note : if we got an email in first step and this step retun two emails. No need to iterate step 3
c) reapeat above logic with step 3 designations sequentially
Continue searching until we get 2 mails.
For "Silver" Customer choose email based on following designation
1. D1, D2,
2 D6, D7
3, D8, D9, D10
For "Platinum" Customer choose email based on following designation
1. D1, D2,
2 D8, D9
3, D3, D4, D10
I am not sure i explained logic very well. Is there any algorith for this type of logic.

Create a bridge table between CustomerType and EmailDesignation and fill it with data that represents the relationship you specified above. You can then create a query that joins these three tables to get the data that you require.
You also need to create a new table with email designations and their priority.
SELECT TOP 2 C.CustomerName, Co.CustomerType, E.Email, E.Designation
FROM Customer C
INNER JOIN CustomerEmailBridge B ON C.CustomerType = B.CustomerType
INNER JOIN Email E ON B.EmailDesignation = E.EmailDesignation
INNER JOIN EmailPriority P ON E.EmailDesignation = P.EmailDesignation AND B.CustomerType = P.CustomerType
WHERE (C.CustomerID = @CustomerID)
ORDER BY P.Priority

Shameel,
Simple join will not work here. I need the output based on logic mentioned. It a priority based search.
I am looking for best and optimized way to do it.
|
|
|
|
|
Have a look at my updated answer. Sorry, I missed the priority thing.
|
|
|
|
|
Hi shameel,
this will not work . priority for same designation is different for different customer type
|
|
|
|
|
A little change makes it work. Just add a CustomerType column to the Priority table and include the CustomerType in the <code>WHERE clause.

Hello,
I connected two computers in LAN 1st having IP 192.168.1.1 and 2nd having IP 192.168.1.2 and i am having sql server management studio express 2005 installed on 1st computer now when i run exe from 192.168.1.2 it throughs an error like.
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
where as it runs perfetly on 1st computer.
my conection string is
Public DBConn As ADODB.Connection
DBConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=MSDATASHAPE; Data Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=TOSHIBA\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=" & App.Path & "\AVON_AIR_Data.mdf; User ID=sa; Password=; Integrated Security=SSPI; Persist Security Info=False;"
DBConn.Open DBConn.ConnectionString
Please suggest
Thank you.

For remote connections, the Initial Catalog attribute must specify the database name alone, you cannot attach a local database. And the other problem is, you can either specify Integrated Security or User ID/Password, but not both.

Oh this is a fun one; you will need a variable and build the syntax of your query in an expression. Then in the 'data flow', 'source editor' change, 'data access mode' to 'SQL Command from variable. It can be done, just take a little bit of creativity.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

How are you determining what is the "last" record? By Date? ID Number?
