incorrect syntax near begin expecting EXTERNAL - sql-server

I create a store procedure . In which first i check a table if the table is in my DB then i drop it and create new table, Second i create a store procedure there within the SP where i am inserting value in the table . My problem is that when i add store procedure part in the store procedure i am getting error incorrect syntax near begin expecting EXTERNAL . Below is my store procedure can you please help me where i am doing wrong .
ALTER PROCEDURE myProcedure
AS
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[ATSROUTES]') AND type in (N'U'))
DROP TABLE [dbo].[ATSROUTES]

Thanks .

The keyword 'AS' is present two times before the end of the batch marked by 'GO' or ';'.
Encapsulate the creation of the SP in a string (dynamic SQL), then call the execution of that string with EXEC(#SQL) if you want to create an SP withing another SP.

Executing TSQL batch multiple times through dynamic sql

I'm using SQL SERVER 2017 (Developper Edition 64 Bit) on a Windows 10 Machine. I'm trying to execute in a dynamic sql a batch multiples times through GO and it won't work.
But the sql Statement will work if it is not execute dynamically. The goal is to do it dynamically and I still don't figure out what I am doing wrong.
Here is how the definition tables look like:
ParentTable
(
Id uniqueidentifier DEFAULT (newsequentialid()) not null,
Created datetime not null,
Creator uniqueidentifier not null,
Modifier uniqueidentifier null,
Modified datetime null
)
ChildTable
(
Id uniqueidentifier DEFAULT (newsequentialid()) not null,
ParentTable_Id not null,
Created datetime not null,
Creator uniqueidentifier not null,
Modifier uniqueidentifier null,
Modified datetime null
)
This is what I've tried so far:
create Procedure InsertIntoChildTable
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #countDset int
DECLARE #todaysdate datetime
DECLARE #UserName uniqueidentifier
DECLARE #ParentTable_Id uniqueidentifier
DECLARE #insertIntoChildTable nvarchar(max)
DECLARE #ChildTableName nvarchar(35)
SET #ChildTableName = ChildTable
SET #countDset = 6
SET #todaysdate = GETDATE()
SET #UserName = 'e86aacf4-9887-e911-9724-4439c492b2a7'
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SET #insertIntoChildTable = 'INSERT INTO ' + #ChildTableName + '
(ParentTable_Id, Created, Creator, Modified, Modifier)
VALUES ( (select max(Id) from ParentTable) , #todaysdate, #UserName ,
NULL, NULL) ' + ' GO ' + #countDset
EXECUTE sp_executesql #insertIntoChildTable,N'#ChildTableName
nvarchar(35), #todaysdate datetime, #UserName uniqueidentifier,
#countDset int', #ChildTableName = #ChildTableName, #todaysdate =
#todaysdate, #UserName = #UserName, #countDset = #countDset
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
PRINT 'Could not insert in the Child table'
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
RETURN
END CATCH
END
After the Line with 'Go ' + #countDset it will automatically go into the Catch block and return.
Thank you
INSERT INTO ChildTable ( ParentTable_Id, Created, Creator, Modified, Modifier )
SELECT (select max(Id) from ParentTable) as ParentId , #todaysdate, #UserName ,
NULL, NULL
FROM
(
SELECT TOP #countDset '' As Dummy
FROM sys.Objects As A
CROSS JOIN sys.Objects As B
) As Multiplier
Guided through the example Zohar posted I could insert new Rows in the ChildTable using CROSS JOIN

BULK Insert Fails with different files sizes

I have this problem where bulk insert fails with different files sizes, specifically, the first file would contain 433 rows while the second file has 2 rows only. But when I insert the 2 rowed file by itself, there's no error.
I have this as my bulk insert statement
set #sql = 'BULK INSERT #temptable
FROM '''+#location+'''
WITH
(
FIELDTERMINATOR = '','',
ROWTERMINATOR = ''\n'',
MAXERRORS = 100,
TABLOCK,
FIRSTROW = 2
)'
The above statement is contained in a stored procedure.
For more information, I will put my stored procedure here.

and If it mayhelp, the system I created is a background worker, since I have to run the code always.
I reckon the cause is that you're asking BULK INSERT to load 14 columns of data, but you're importing into #TempTable which doesn't have enough fields in it.
Your code creates a #tempTable table, and you use a CURSOR to add extra fields to it... but I reckon the end result isn't a table with 14 fields in it.
Before your BULK INSERT #temptable command gets run, how many fields are in the #temptable table ?
For example, if you just had one field in this table, when you ran the bulk-insert it would insist on trying to import the entire row into that one field, complete with all the commas, but, of course, it doesn't fit in a 20-character string.
CREATE TABLE #temptable
(
[Number] VARCHAR(20)
)
The solution... simply change your temporary table to have the correct number of columns, and the BULK INSERT will work fine:
CREATE TABLE #temptable
(
[Number] NVARCHAR(200),
[Datey] datetime,
[ms] NVARCHAR(200),
[CH34] NVARCHAR(200),
[CH35] NVARCHAR(200),
[CH36] NVARCHAR(200),
[CH37] NVARCHAR(200),
[CH38] NVARCHAR(200),
[CH39] NVARCHAR(200),
[Alarm110] NVARCHAR(200),
[Alarm1120] NVARCHAR(200),
[Alarm2130] NVARCHAR(200),
[Alarm3140] NVARCHAR(200),
[AlarmOut] NVARCHAR(200)
)
Good luck !
P.S. One piece of the puzzle which is missing.... What data do you have in your dbo.sorting table ? This will dictate which fields end up in your temporary table, but you don't explain how this table is populated, or what data it contains.
The attributes
[BatchID] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[CH31] [nvarchar](20) NULL,
[CH32] [nvarchar](20) NULL,
[CH33] [nvarchar](20) NULL
are missing from your file. With BULK_INSERT the columns have to match perfectly. Fix the number of columns, and it should fix the error.

SQL Server stored procedure parameters-DIFFERENT types

By developing app. I need a dynamic stored procedure, where I am calling a table name (#pxxx), and I also ned pass same parameters - here I have 2 (datum, por).
It is working well, passing tablename as #pxxx - o.k. Also when parameters datum,por are type -int or varchar, or char or combination of it. Int I change to varchar by CONVERT - procedure go well. Well ig going calling from C#.
Problem is when I change parameter -datum to datetime. It is not working. Changing date by "convert" to varchar not helped. It is not functional in sql management studio. I need to solve a problem, because I need in table datum [datetime],
I can't change table definition, datetime is needed.
I looked for almost every questions about passing parameters and dynamic sql stored procedures, but I not find solution.
Table definition in MS SQL 2005:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[p001](
[id] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[datum] [datetime] NULL,
[por] [int] NULL,
[cas] [nchar](5) NULL,
[max] [int] NULL,
[obsad] [int] NULL,
[blok] [bit] NULL
one of it ) ON [PRIMARY]
My stored procedure - not working
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SPinsertpxx2] (#pxxx nchar(4),#date datetime, #por int)
AS
DECLARE #sqlCommand varchar(500)
SET #sqlCommand = 'INSERT INTO '+ #pxxx +' ([datum],[por]) VALUES('
+CONVERT(VARCHAR,#date,112)+','+CONVERT(VARCHAR,#por,5)+')'
BEGIN
EXEC (#sqlCommand)
END
This stored procedure - working well but only withous datetime parameter.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SPinsertpxxx] (#pxxx nchar(4),#cas nvarchar(10), #por int)
AS
DECLARE #sqlCommand varchar(500)
SET #sqlCommand = 'INSERT INTO '+ #pxxx +' ([cas],[por]) VALUES('
+CONVERT(VARCHAR,#cas)+','+CONVERT(VARCHAR,#por)+')'
BEGIN
EXEC (#sqlCommand)
END
Here is a working example of doing this using parameterzied dynamic sql. This helps prevent sql injection and allows you to use properly typed parameters.
create PROCEDURE [dbo].[SPinsertpxx2]
(
#pxxx nchar(4)
, #datum datetime
, #por int
) AS
DECLARE #sqlCommand nvarchar(max)
SET #sqlCommand = 'INSERT INTO '+ #pxxx +' ([datum],[por]) VALUES(#datum, #por)'
exec sp_executesql #sqlCommand, N'#datum datetime, #por int', #datum = #datum, #por = #por
Now to test this and see if it works.
exec SPinsertpxx2 'p001', '2016-01-01', 42
Does the table contain the correct values?
select * from p001

Deleting Tree-Nodes in a SQL table without a cursor

I have a tree of strings stored in a sql table, this is the definition for the table.
CREATE TABLE [FileTree] (
[ID] INT NOT NULL,
[Name] VARCHAR (MAX) NOT NULL,
[ParentID] INT NULL,
[UserID] VARCHAR (MAX) NOT NULL
);
And I have a recursive delete procedure for deleting a node and it's children, it uses a cursor and it works perfectly well after a user on SO in my previous question regarding this matter pointed out the problems with the syntax. (Deleting Tree-Nodes in a SQL table)
CREATE PROCEDURE DeleteFile
#FileID INTEGER,
#UserID VARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
DELETE FROM [FileTree] WHERE [ID] = #FileID AND [UserID]=#UserID;
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM [FileTree] WHERE [ParentID] = #FileID AND [UserID]=#UserID)
BEGIN
DECLARE FileCursor CURSOR LOCAL FOR
SELECT [ID],[UserID] FROM [FileTree] WHERE [ParentID] = #FileID AND [UserID]=#UserID;
OPEN FileCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM FileCursor INTO #FileID , #UserID
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS =0
BEGIN
EXEC DeleteFile #FileID,#UserID;
FETCH NEXT FROM FileCursor INTO #FileID , #UserID ;
END
END
END
However , another reply to the question suggested using a Common Table Expression, I googled and I don't think I really understand how can a CTE replace the cursor in this procedure. Any suggestions ?
You can use a recursive CTE to get all children of the ID that should be deleted and then use that in a DELETE statement:
with all_ids as (
select id, ParentID
from FileTree
where id = 4 -- this is the root ID that should be deleted
union all
select c.id, c.ParentID
from FileTree c
join all_ids p on p.id = c.ParentID
)
delete from file_tree
where id in (select id from all_ids);

How to execute SP in for each and union all results?

I have a table with certain records, let's call this the Priority table. For each record in this table I need to execute a stored procedure called GetProductsBasedOnPriorityRecord which returns records from a Product table.
All these results need to be returned as one UNION without duplicates.
I'm able to write the following C# pseodo code, but I have no idea on how to do this in SQL:
//DECLARE resultVariable
var products = new List<Product>();
//SELECT * FROM Priority and FOREACH over this
foreach(var prio in Priority) {
//EXEC GetProductsBasedOnPriorityRecord and UNION this on the resultVariable
products.Union(GetProductsBasedOnPriorityRecord(prio));
}
//RETURN resultVariable
return products;
You should not be writing SQL code in loops if you need it to perform even relatively well. But this is what I would do in this case.
-- build some variables
declare #prio table (prio varchar(100) not null)
declare #singlePrio varchar(50)
declare #sqlcmd varchar(50)
-- assuming that the output of the stored procedure is just a table of INTs
declare #output table (outputID int not null)
-- build the list to loop over
insert into #prio (prio)
select * from [Priority]
while exists (select 1 from #prio)
begin
select #singlePrio = (select top 1 prio from #prio)
--
insert into #output exec GetProductsBasedOnPriorityRecord #singlePrio
--
delete from #prio where prio = #singlePrio
end
-- using distinct because you want a 'union' but didnt say 'union all'
select distinct outputID from #output
Well you should be able to do it with a cursor. It's not always the best way. I assume that you are forced to use the existing stored procedure.
Example tables
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Products](
[ProductID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ProductName] [nchar](10) NULL,
[PriorityID] [int] NULL)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Priority](
[PriorityID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[PriorityCode] [nchar](10) NULL)
(with PKs etc).
Sample stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetProductsBasedOnPriorityRecord]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
#PriorityID int = 0
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
SELECT * FROM Products WHERE PriorityID = #PriorityID
END
Then something like this:
DECLARE #PriorityID INT
DECLARE #table TABLE (ProductID INT, ProductName NCHAR(10), PriorityID INT)
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR SELECT PriorityID FROM Priority
OPEN cur
FETCH NEXT FROM cur INTO #PriorityID
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #table EXEC GetProductsBasedOnPriorityRecord #PriorityID
FETCH NEXT FROM cur INTO #PriorityID
END
CLOSE cur
DEALLOCATE cur
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM #table
Of course this makes some assumptions about your tables. Also (of course) a synthetic example like this is actually showing a long-winded way of doing something very simple.
Try this one -
DECLARE #SQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
IF OBJECT_ID (N'tempdb.dbo.#temp') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #temp
CREATE TABLE #temp (outputID INT NOT NULL)
SELECT #SQL = (
SELECT CHAR(13) + '
INSERT INTO #temp(outputID)
EXEC dbo.GetProductsBasedOnPriorityRecord '''
+ prio + ''''
FROM dbo.[Priority]
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
PRINT #SQL
EXEC sys.sp_executesql #SQL
SELECT DISTINCT outputID
FROM #temp
