How do you parameterize Limit and Offset in a Snowflake Procedure? - snowflake-cloud-data-platform

Question

How do you parameterize Limit and Offset in a Snowflake Procedure? When calling this procedure like so: CALL GETJOBS ('test1', 3, 3);
The response is: "Failed: SQL compilation error:\nInvalid row count ':2' in limit clause"
It doesnt appear to be accepting limit and offset parameters.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "GETJOBS"("CODES" VARCHAR(16777216), "LIMIT" FLOAT, "OFFSET" FLOAT)
RETURNS VARIANT
LANGUAGE JAVASCRIPT
EXECUTE AS OWNER
AS '
var sql = snowflake.createStatement({
sqlText: `select jobnbr
from jobs
where islocked = 1
order by jobnbr
limit :2 offset :3;`,
binds: [CODES, LIMIT, OFFSET].map(function(x){return x === undefined ? null : x})
});
try {
var results = sql.execute();
var columns = sql.getColumnCount();
var array = [];
while (results.next()) {
let object = new Object;
var current = 1;
while (current <= columns) {
object[results.getColumnName(current).toString()] = results.getColumnValue(current);
current++;
}
array.push(object);
}
return array;
}
catch (err) {
return "Failed: " + err;
}
return null;
';

Answer 1

Your solution can be to change the following:
var sql = snowflake.createStatement({
sqlText: `select jobnbr
from jobs
where islocked = 1
order by jobnbr
limit :2 offset :3;`,
binds: [CODES, LIMIT, OFFSET].map(function(x){return x === undefined ? null : x})
});
to something like:
var sql_cmd = "select jobnbr from jobs where islocked = 1 order by jobnbr limit " + LIMIT + " offset " + OFFSET;
var sql = snowflake.createStatement({
sqlText: sql_cmd,
binds: [CODES].map(function(x){return x === undefined ? null : x})
});
but this would not use bindings for LIMIT and OFFSET. It would still work when calling stored proc like:
CALL GETJOBS ('test1', 3, 3);

Alternative approach using QUALIFY and ROW_NUMBER:
var sql = snowflake.createStatement({
sqlText: `select jobnbr
from jobs
where islocked = :1
qualify row_number() over(order by jobnbr) between :2 and :3
order by jobnbr`,
binds: [CODES, OFFSET + 1, LIMIT + OFFSET + 1].map(function(x){return x === undefined ? null : x})
});
