Result of dynamic query in variable

  • How can i get the result of any dynamic Query created in the varibale

    Example:

    Declare @Temp int

    Set @Temp=Exec('Select 1')

  • use sp_executesql with an output parameter, like this:

    declare @SQL nvarchar(4000)

    declare @params nvarchar(4000)

    declare @name varchar(255)

    select @SQL = 'Select @name = name from sysobjects where id = 1'

    select @params = '@name varchar(255) output'

    EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL, @params, @name output

    select @name

    Thanks jxflagg this sorted out my problem

  • But Somehow i am again where i was before

    when i create the function using same statements

    Example:

    Create Function fnTest123()

    Returns varchar(255)

    As

    Begin

    declare @SQL nvarchar(4000)

    declare @params nvarchar(4000)

    declare @name varchar(255)

    select @SQL = 'Select @nm = name from sysobjects where id = 1'

    select @params = '@nm varchar(255) output'

    EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL, @params, @name output

    return @name

    End

    When i Execute the function as

    Select dbo.fnTest123() then this error messages comes

    Server: Msg 557, Level 16, State 2, Procedure fnTest123, Line 10

    Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.

    what should be the resolution ????

  • That's correct, you can't use sp_executesql inside a UDF. Why do you need a function? You could wrape this code inside a stored procedure.

    I need the function cause in need the results to be intergrated in the query itself

    like

    Select *,fnTest123(SomeParameter) Result From SomeTable


    Rohit

  • It seems like you could accomplish that without a function simply by using two queries. First execute your dynamic query, then execute your second query, using the local variable.

  • Let me correct myself

    i need the result like this

     
    
    Select *,fnTest123(SomeTable.SomeField) Result From SomeTable


    Rohit

  • anayone can help me to get that its urget


    Rohit

  • would something like this help?...

     
    
    select * from OpenRowset('SQLOLEDB',
    'Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=yes',
    'Exec Master.dbo.sp_who')

    You can do this within a UDF.

    Two Problems:

    1. Not the fastest thing, so do not do it in a loop. You can JOIN however.

    2. Parameters of OPENROWSET must be constants.

    Also make sure you use the database name in qualifing the objects.

    You can also use this as a workaraound for getting the current time within a UDF.

     
    
    select * from OpenRowset('SQLOLEDB',
    'Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=yes',
    'Select GetDate() as Now')



    Once you understand the BITs, all the pieces come together

  • Hello Thomas,

    Thanks for your valued comments.

    this solves my problem to some extent

    agin i am not able to fix the problem completly because when i create function like i have given in the below code i get error

    Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure Test123, Line 11

    Line 11: Incorrect syntax near '@SQL'.

    by this i come to know this thing that "openrowset" doest not accept the parameters through varibales i dont know i am right or wrong but am not able to fix the problem again!

    Example:

    Create Function Test123()

    Returns varchar(255)

    As

    Begin

    declare @SQL nvarchar(4000)

    declare @params nvarchar(4000)

    declare @name varchar(255)

    select @SQL = 'Select name from sysobjects where id = 1'

    Set @name=(select * from

    OpenRowset('SQLOLEDB','Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=yes',

    @SQL))

    return @name

    End
