Passing null to Optional SQL ServerStored Procedure parameters for Query

Has anyone been able to pass null to a SQL Server Stored Procedure in a query for Interactive Reporting. I have a procedure that modifies the sql statement if the user passes additional filter data and I want to pass null to it. It works great if I use in reporting services, but I am being forced to us IR. Any help would be appreciated.
And just a point of issue...why do I have to use an ODBC driver to see or use my stored procedure!! Sorry couldn't resist!

Why dynamic sql ? It can be static, you are just passing the filter value

How to create an External Content Type with SQL Stored Procedures Parameters and query it in a SharePoint App

Hi,
I'm new to SharePoint 2013 I want to be able to query a MSSQL database from a SharePoint App I have tried to create an External Content Type (ECT) which is produced from a MSSQL stored Procedure, this procedure has several parameters which are needed to
filter the data correctly. From here I want to produce an external list which I can then query from a c# SharePoint app. If I leave the filters in the ECT null then the list is of course empty or if enter a default values the results are limited
for the app to query so are no good.
I want to dynamically pass values to the ECT when querying from the app, is this not possible. Should I just be returning everything in an external list and then letting the query in the app filter the data, this seems inefficient?
Is this the best way to do this or should I be doing this differently?
Please can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hi Pandra801,
When you create a the external content type, please try to add a filter based on your select statement.

Or, try to create a stored procedure based on your select statement, then create ECT using the SQL stored procedure.

Running a SQL Stored Procedure from Power Query with Dynamic Parameters

Hi,
I want to execute a stored procedure from Power Query with dynamic parameters.
In normal process, query will look like below in Power Query. Here the value 'Dileep' is passed as a parameter value to SP.
    Source = Sql.Database("ABC-PC", "SAMPLEDB", [Query="EXEC DBO.spGetData 'Dileep'"]
Now I want to pass the value dynamically taking from excel sheet. I can get the required excel cell value in a variable but unable to pass it to query.
    Name_Parameter = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table3"]}[Content],
    Name_Value = Name_Parameter{0}[Value],
I have tried like below but it is not working.
Source = Sql.Database("ABC-PC", "SAMPLEDB", [Query="EXEC DBO.spGetData Name_Value"]
Can anyone please help me with this issue.
Thanks
Dileep

Hi,
I got it. Below is the correct syntax.
Source = Sql.Database("ABC-PC", "SAMPLEDB", [Query="EXEC DBO.spGetData '" & Name_Value & "'"]

PL/SQL - Using procedure parameters inside cursor definition.

Hello all,
I'm currently working on a procedure that has a cursor in it. The only parameter passed in when calling it is a table name (TABLE_NAME parameter) which I want to use as a string in a LIKE comparison inside the defined cursor.
Here is the code:
PROCEDURE PURGE (TABLE_NAME IN VARCHAR)
    IS
        CURSOR TABLES_CUR
        IS
            SELECT
                OBJECT_NAME
            FROM
                SYS.DBA_OBJECTS
            WHERE
                OWNER = 'MYSCHEMA'
                AND OBJECT_TYPE = 'TABLE'
                AND OBJECT_NAME like 'TABLE_NAME_%'
                AND CREATED = sysdate-3;
        TABLE_DEL TABLES_CUR%rowtype;
    BEGIN
        OPEN TABLES_CUR;
        LOOP
            FETCH TABLES_CUR INTO TABLE_DEL;
            EXIT WHEN TABLES_CUR%NOTFOUND;
            DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('TABLE_DEL');
        END LOOP;
        CLOSE TABLES_CUR;
    END PURGE;However TABLE_NAME parameter value is not being interpolated, so cursor ends up returning nothing.
What must I do to get it interpolated and not interpreted as a literal string?
Thanks in advance.
Frank.

Passing Null value to MS SQL Server from Oracle BPEL

Hi,
We are using the DB adapter to invoke a procedure on MS SQL Server database. We need to pass null parameter to one of the parameters.
When we pass 'null', we are getting a conversion error.
Please provide your inputs.
Regards.
John

The datatype is int.
When we pass "null" we are getting the following error.
Error while converting to a Java object. Unable to convert the XSD element ss_status_id whose SQL type is INT and JDBC type is INTEGER. Cause: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "null" ; nested exception is: ORABPEL-11803 Error while converting to a Java object. Unable to convert the XSD element ss_status_id whose SQL type is INT and JDBC type is INTEGER. Cause: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "null" Check to ensure that the XML data describing the object matches the definition of the element in the XSD. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
After using xsi:nil="true", we are not getting any error as such. But the procedure is not giving expected data.

Do I run a shell script (bsh) via PL/SQL stored procedure?

Hello guys,
Do I run a shell script (bsh) via PL/SQL stored procedure?

I've to installed Oracle 9.0.1 on Suse Linux.
Please, any ideas or hints ...
Thx and regards.

You might be able to us the HOST command, I think you'd have to run it via dbms_sql, check this page for more details, not sure if it'll be of help but its worth a try..

Passing array to pl/sql procedure - pls-00306 wrong number/types of args

its oracle 10.2 database;
I have a procedure with array parameters based on simple sql types.
eg
create or replace type vt_attrname is table of varchar2(50);
Now my call to the procedure works when the array is empty;
as soon as I bulk collect into my local array, I get a compilation error.
eg
declare
my_array vt_attrname;
begin
select label
bulk collect
into my_array
from table_name
where 1=1;
my_proc(p_array=>my_array); -- syntax error
end;if I pass null the call works but obviously array is empty.
I have read something about varray's being incompatible between sqltypes and pl/sql.
How do I get around this problem?
The bulk collect is working okay.
A small example would be appreciated.

Yep, I spotted the syntax error earlier.
However even though that seems to compile ok, I still get the problem with my package call.
heres the actual call from the code
vt_attrname and vt_attrvalues are types declared on another schema.
I have redeclared them on the current schema now.
create or replace type vt_attrname is table of varchar2(50);
create or replace type vt_attrvalue is table of varchar2(500);
create procedure <name>
as
v_cardapplattrtag   vt_attrname;
v_cardapplattrvalue vt_attrvalue;
for cardappl_cur in
    (select cardappl_id
       from ci_cardappl
      where custcard_id = cur.document_logical_number)
    loop
    select label
      bulk collect
      into v_cardapplattrtag
      from ci_applver_attribute
      where applver_id = v_applver_id;
      v_array_size := v_cardapplattrtag.count;

Passing null value to stored procedure

I am calling a stored procedure from ssis package. In my stored procedure I have parameters which is set to default value of null i.e if nothing is passed I need to assume the value of parameter to be null.
In ssis package I created a variable its a datetime variable but when I dont pass anything or blank
it automatically gets some date but instead I want it to pass NUll.
Thank You for the help

Hi Rama,
SSIS evaluates null value in a date type variable as “12/30/1899 12:00:00 AM” by default. As long as the date type of the variable is date, it always gives “12/30/1899 12:00:00 AM” instead of null. This behavior still exists in SSIS 2012. So, I am afraid
that you have to modify your stored procedure to yield to this by design behavior of SSIS.

Pass values to stored procedure parameters

I have a stored procedure in MS SQL 2005 that has a datetime parameter. I want to be able to use the stored procedure but I only want to pass a date value and assume all times for this date.
When i add the stored procedure to the report it automatically creates the parameters and I don't know how to bypass them.
Is it possible to create a date type parameter and then pass it to the stored procedure parameter?

Hi Johua,
Yes, you can create a date type parameter and pass it to a stored proc that accepts a datetime parameter.
This will, however, need a container type of a report.
1) Create a new report and also create a date parameter in this report
2) Insert the original report as a subreport in, perhaps, the report header/footer section
3) Create a formula with this piece of code:
datetime({?Date},time(0,0,0));
4) Link this formula with the subreport's stored proc parameter

Pass date range parameter to SQL stored procedure.

Hi,
I'd like to pass a date range parameter from Crystal Reports to a sql stored procedure. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I've had no problem passing standard datetime (single value) paramaters to and from but am struggling with getting a range value parameter to work.
Environment: Crystal Reports 10/XI and SQL 2000 MSDE version or SQL 2005 Express Edition.
Any help would be appreciated.

C5112736 wrote:>
> And then these 2 formulas 'Formula # 1' and 'Formula # 2' can be used to pass on to the stored procedure.
Can someone please demonstrate exactly how to use formula results as date parameters to a SQL stored procedure? Keep in mind, there are two parameters to the stored procedure.
I have gleaned this much: Use Add Command and insert the procedure with
EXEC ServerName.dbo.usp_sprocName;1 '{?StringParameter}'
but if I try to do
{CALL ServerName.dbo.usp_SprocName({@Formula1},{@Formula2})}
then it gives the error "No value given for one or more required parameters".
Both of the parameters are VARCHAR(50).
I have finally found this link: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms710248(VS.85).aspx]
This Microsoft site defines the format of the ODBC escape sequences, but I still do not know how to convince Crystal to insert it's parameter results or formula results.

Pass unicode data in SQL Server 2008 stored procedure parameter

Hi,
I want to pass unicode data in a SQL stored procedure. But I am not sure that how to append N with NVarchar datatype.
For example I Create a table LocalizationTest and wants to insert a few records.
Create table LocalizationTest
Field1 NVarchar(255)
INSERT INTO LocalizationTest
VALUES(N'123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989')
the above given statement works.
To explain it more , script A works but script B does not work.
DECLARE @X NVARCHAR(255)
[A]
SET @X=N '123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989'
INSERT INTO LocalizationTest
VALUES(@X)
[B]
SET @X= '123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989'
INSERT INTO LocalizationTest
VALUES(@X)
What is the correct way to execute script B because @X will be passed in a SQL Stored Procedure?
Thanks
Sharma M.

If you do not pass the value as a Unicode value there is nothing left of the Unicode characters but question marks. Once this has happened, AFAIK there is no way to undo it (other than resetting the value as Unicode characters again).
Affirmative.
Demo - This is what happens if you convert UNICODE (nvarchar) to varchar with implicit conversion (try to force 2 bytes into one byte).
3F hex is '?'.
CREATE TABLE #LocalizationTest (Field1 VARCHAR(255))
INSERT INTO #LocalizationTest
VALUES(N'123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989')
DECLARE @X NVARCHAR(255), @dSQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @X=N'123 Illini Dr, 東皮奧里亞, 8989'
INSERT INTO #LocalizationTest VALUES(CONVERT(NVARCHAR(255),@X))
SET @dSQL = N'INSERT INTO #LocalizationTest VALUES(N'''+@X+''')'
PRINT @dSQL
EXEC sp_ExecuteSQL @dSQL
SELECT *, Field1Bin=convert(binary(30), Field1) FROM #LocalizationTest
DROP TABLE #LocalizationTest
123 Illini Dr, ?????, 8989 0x31323320496C6C696E692044722C203F3F3F3F3F2C203839383900000000

PL/SQL Procedure Parameters PROBLEM

Here's my problem:
When we describe the successfully compiled PL/SQL packaged procedures in SQL*Plus, the parameter order seems reversed. For instance, my PL/SQL source looks like this:
Create Package pkg1...
Procedure func1 (param1 in varchar2,
param2 in number) is
...function body...
end func1;
end pkg1;
After it is successfully compiled in SQL*Plus, when I describe it using the desc command, it shows:
PROCEDURE FUNC1
Argument Name Type ......
PARAM2 VARCHAR2
PARAM1 VARCHAF2
This problem occurs occasionally, if we recompile the source, it goes away. We couldn't quite tell when and how this happens. When the problem occurs, we checked the ALL_SOURCE view and verified that the parameters are in the right order.
We use the Merant Drivers for our client side interfaces and whenever we have this problem on the db server, we get the "wrong number of types or parameters" error.
Any clues, hints, solutions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
On a different note, I couldn't find the appropriate forum to post this PL/SQL specific message, wondering why there isn't a PL/SQL forum.

Hi Yegneshwar
Can U tell me how to invoke the procedure ? If all it can be invoked the post it or mail me and then I might help U out.
Thank U.

Are you hoping to use JDBC or ODBC to pass this array? If JDBC, I'd suggest asking this question on the JDBC forum.

Need to pass the PROFILE options in SQL query

SELECT ffvs.FLEX_VALUE_SET_NAME
, ffvs.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID
, ffv.FLEX_VALUE_ID
, ffv.FLEX_VALUE
FROM fnd_flex_value_sets ffvs
, fnd_flex_values ffv

AND ffvs.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID=ffv.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID
AND ffvs.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID=1012493 -- SCHEME_GL_OPTION
AND ffvs.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID IN (select FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID from FND_FLEX_VALUE_RULE_LINES
where
FLEX_VALUE_RULE_ID
in
(select FLEX_VALUE_RULE_ID from FND_FLEX_VALUE_RULES where FLEX_VALUE_RULE_NAME='MDS ZA Option' ))
I am trying to to run the particular SQL qyery for creating the VIEW.
Concern:- It will pick all the columns of the values associated with all rules and GL account
--> I want to filter out by running the or using the PROFILE option so that it returns for only one RESP_ID.
Is it anyway to use in creating of view in the QUERY to pick the only one RESP_ID.
Hope I made clear my issue.

My questions is to use this FND_PROFILE.VALUE('RESP_ID') or FND_PROFILE.VALUE('ORG_ID')
When ever you will run the above flex values query, it will come for all company or org id.
I want specific for one org for all the flex values when i will run the above query.
I try to initialize the query for the org_id,resp_id. But it returning for all of the org.
I have to filter out the values based on Org.Where as in the above query there is no org_id column for joing so how should i ?
Hope i make my questions right.
