Updating a column of a snowflake table using stored procedure - stored-procedures

I am creating a stored procedure in snowflake. I want to update ORG_ID column OF EMPLOYEE table with value 'ZZ'. Here is my code, not sre where am I going wrong.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE NEW(VAL VARCHAR)
RETURNS string
LANGUAGE JAVASCRIPT
AS
$$
let sql_command = `update EMPLOYEE set ORG_ID = ${VAL}`;
snowflake.execute({sqlText: sql_command});
return 'success';
$$;
call NEW('ZZ');

Variables should be bound:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE NEW(VAL VARCHAR)
RETURNS string
LANGUAGE JAVASCRIPT
AS
$$
let sql_command = `update EMPLOYEE set ORG_ID = :1`;
snowflake.execute({sqlText: sql_command, binds: [VAL]});
return 'success';
$$;

String interpolation could also be used but it is prone to SQL Injection :
let sql_command = `update EMPLOYEE set ORG_ID = '${VAL}'`;

Is if...exists supported in Snowflake stored procedures?

I have written a stored procedure which will be called from python. The stored procedure needs to insert the variant data into my table if the id doesn't exist or update the existing variant data where there is a match for the id. The id will be passed the way the variant data is, but for now I am just trying to get it working with a hardcoded id. The stored procedure gets called successfully from python, but then nothing gets inserted or updated in the stored procedure and the stored procedure doesn't give me an error. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or the...
if exists (select * from my_database_table where my_variant_data:id::varchar = '123456')
... part is being ignored because it isn't supported. I haven't been able to find anything in the documentation to prove or disprove this. Does anyone know?
create or replace procedure my_stored_procedure("variant_data" variant)
returns string
language javascript
strict
execute as owner
as
$$
var insert_update_query = `
if exists (select * from my_database_table where my_variant_data:id::varchar = '123456')
begin
update my_database_table SET my_variant_data = parse_json(:1)) WHERE my_variant_data:id::varchar = '123456'
end
else
begin
insert into my_database_table(my_variant_data) select (parse_json(:1));
end
`
var result = "";
try {
var sql_insert_update_query = snowflake.createStatement({
sqlText: insert_update_query
});
var insert_update_query_result = sql_insert_update_query.execute();
result += "\n Query succeeded";
} catch (err) {
result += "\n Query failed failed: " + err.code + "\n State: " + err.state;
result += "\n Message: " + err.message;
result += "\n Stack Trace:\n" + err.stackTraceTxt;
}
return result;
$$
;
I have tested the insert and update parts of the query in the stored procedure individually and they work fine.
Insert - works as expected.
create or replace procedure my_stored_procedure("variant_data" variant)
returns string
language javascript
strict
execute as owner
as
$$
var sql_command = "insert into my_database_table(my_variant_data) select (parse_json(:1));";
var sql = snowflake.createStatement( {sqlText: sql_command, binds:[JSON.stringify(variant_data)]});
var resultSet = sql.execute();
return sql_command;
$$
;
Update - works as expected.
create or replace procedure my_stored_procedure("variant_data" variant)
returns string
language javascript
strict
execute as owner
as
$$
var sql_command = "UPDATE my_database_table SET my_variant_data = parse_json(:1)) WHERE my_variant_data:id::varchar = '123456'";
var sql = snowflake.createStatement( {sqlText: sql_command, binds:[JSON.stringify(variant_data)]});
var resultSet = sql.execute();
$$
;
Given the CODE executed needs to be valid runs on the console SQL, which this if is not, and it is fundamentally a MERGE command I would suggest flipping the code into a MERGE:
MERGE INTO my_database_table USING my_database_table
ON my_variant_data:id::varchar = '123456'
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET my_variant_data = parse_json(:1))
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (my_variant_data) VALUES (parse_json(:1));
otherwise if you are want it in SP space, then I would be inclinded to break the code into a SELECT x INTO varaible FROM blar pattern and then have the IF be in SP and pick between the two blocks of SQL to run. But given it's just a merge, I would again still, do a merge.

update a column inside a stored procedure

I have two snowflake tables as below
TEST1
create OR REPLACE table TEST1 (
id varchar(100),
name varchar(100),
org VARCHAR(64)
);
INSERT INTO TEST1 values (100, 'ABC', null);
INSERT INTO TEST1 values (200, 'XYZ', null);
INSERT INTO TEST1 values (300, 'VBN', null);
CONTROL
create OR REPLACE table CONTROL (
KEY_COLUMNS VARCHAR,
TABLE_NAME VARCHAR,
org VARCHAR
);
INSERT INTO CONTROL values ('id,name, address','TEST1','Z');
INSERT INTO CONTROL values ('id,name, address','TEST2','T');
I have created a stored procedure which updates column 'org' in TEST1 table with the values from CONTROL table (column org) where table name is TEST1.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST(source_tbl VARCHAR)
RETURNS string
LANGUAGE SQL
AS
$$
DECLARE
query1 STRING;
BEGIN
QUERY1 := 'update TEST1 set ORG = (select org from CONTROL WHERE TABLE_NAME = ''source_tbl'');';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :QUERY1;
RETURN :QUERY1;
END;
$$;
call TEST((select TABLE_NAME from CONTROL WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'TEST1'));
expected output
My output
The parameter should be bound variable instead of passing as the string constant ''source_tbl'':
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST(source_tbl VARCHAR)
RETURNS string
LANGUAGE SQL
AS
$$
DECLARE
query1 STRING;
BEGIN
QUERY1 := 'update TEST1 set ORG = (select org from CONTROL WHERE TABLE_NAME = ?);';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE :QUERY1 USING (SOURCE_TBL);
RETURN :QUERY1;
END;
$$

Executing sql from a javascipt UDF

I have a snowflake table being used to store records of sql being executed by a stored procedure and any error messages. The records in this table are being saved as a string with special chars escaped with javascripts escape('log') function. I then want to create a view to this log table that will return the records in an easily readable format.
My first attempt at this was to create an additional stored procedure to query the log table, pass the record to the unescape() function, then return it. Calling this procedure works as intended but we can't then create a view of this data say with something like
create view log_view as
select (call UNESCAPE_PROC());
The other idea was to use a UDF rather than a stored procedure. However this also fails as we can't execute sql code with a javascript UDF. This post touches on this idea.
My question is how can I record these executed statements in a table in such a way as they can be later viewed in a plain text readable format. I've outlined my attempts below but perhaps my approach is flawed, open to any suggestions.
Minimal working example below
Sample log table and procedure to write a statement to said table
create or replace table event_table(
event varchar,
event_stamp timestamp
);
create or replace procedure insert_to_event(stamp string)
RETURNS VARCHAR
LANGUAGE JAVASCRIPT
COMMENT = 'SP to log an event message with timestamp to event_table'
EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
$$
// some variables to log in our event table
var str_stamp = (new Date()).toISOString();
to_log = `insert into dummy_table values(2, 'Bill', `+STAMP+`);`;
sql =
`INSERT INTO event_table (
event,
event_stamp
)
VALUES
('`+escape(to_log)+`', to_timestamp('`+str_stamp+`'));`;
var stmnt = snowflake.createStatement({ sqlText: sql });
stmnt.execute();
return "logged: "+ escape(to_log)
$$;
call insert_to_event(current_timestamp());
select * from event_table;
Stored procedure to return readable log records
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE UNESCAPE_PROC()
RETURNS VARCHAR
LANGUAGE JAVASCRIPT
COMMENT = 'SP will select a chosen column from event_table table, pass it to javascripts unescape() fn and return it'
EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
$$
unescape_sql =
`select event from event_table`
var errs_res = [];
try {
all_logs = snowflake.execute(
{ sqlText: unescape_sql }
);
// iterate over all columns
while (all_logs.next()) {
errs_res.push(all_logs.getColumnValue(1));
}
return unescape(errs_res)
}
catch(err){
return "something went wrong: " + err
}
$$;
call UNESCAPE_PROC();
Which returns the records in a readable form as expected
However this of course wont work as part of a view eg.
-- define a view calling this procedure??
create view log_view as
select (call UNESCAPE_PROC());
Javascript user defined function can be used in a view like this, however it cannot be used to execute sql as in the stored procedures
-- use a UDF instead
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION UNESCAPE_UDF()
RETURNS string
LANGUAGE JAVASCRIPT
AS
$$
unescape_sql =
`select event from event_table`
var errs_res = [];
try {
all_logs = snowflake.execute(
{ sqlText: unescape_sql }
);
// iterate over all columns
while (all_logs.next()) {
errs_res.push(all_logs.getColumnValue(1));
}
return unescape(errs_res)
}
catch(err){
return "something went wrong: " + err
}
$$
;
select UNESCAPE_UDF();
Stored procedures will solve one half of my problem for me, whilst UDF's will solve the other half. How can I combine the functionality of these two methods to solve this issue?
A much cleaner approach using parameters binding:
create or replace procedure insert_to_event(stamp string)
RETURNS VARCHAR
LANGUAGE JAVASCRIPT
COMMENT = 'SP to log an event message with timestamp to event_table'
EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
$$
// some variables to log in our event table
var str_stamp = (new Date()).toISOString();
to_log = `insert into dummy_table values(2, 'Bill', '${str_stamp}');`;
sql = `INSERT INTO event_table (event,event_stamp)
VALUES(?, try_to_timestamp(?));`;
var stmnt = snowflake.createStatement({sqlText: sql, binds:[to_log, str_stamp]});
stmnt.execute();
return "logged: "+ to_log
$$;
Call:
call insert_to_event(current_timestamp());
-- logged: insert into dummy_table values(2, 'Bill', '2022-02-03T17:45:44.140Z');
select * from event_table;
Found a solution/workaround.
Rather than using javascripts escape/unescape functions to remove special chars from the logs, we use a regex replace eg.
create or replace procedure insert_to_event(stamp string)
RETURNS VARCHAR
LANGUAGE JAVASCRIPT
COMMENT = 'SP to log an event message with timestamp to event_table'
EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
$$
// some variables to log in our event table
var str_stamp = (new Date()).toISOString();
to_log = `insert into dummy_table values(2, 'Bill', `+STAMP+`);`;
to_log = to_log.replace(/[`~!##$%^&*|+=?'"<>\{\}\[\]\\\/]/gi, '');
sql =
`INSERT INTO event_table (
event,
event_stamp
)
VALUES
('`+to_log+`', to_timestamp('`+str_stamp+`'));`;
var stmnt = snowflake.createStatement({ sqlText: sql });
stmnt.execute();
return "logged: "+ to_log
$$;
call insert_to_event(current_timestamp());
select * from event_table;
Which writes to the log table in an easily readable format with no need for additional stored procedures/UDF's.

return timestamp value in store procedure

i'm trying to get timestamp value as result of stored procedure.
but getting error .
error message:- SQL Error [100132] [P0000]: JavaScript execution error: Incorrect Timestamp returned.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE simple_stored_procedure_example(awesome_argument VARCHAR)
returns TIMESTAMPNTZ
language javascript
as
$$
var cmd = "SELECT EXTRACT_END_TIME FROM EXPLARITY_DB.EXPLARITY_SCHEMA.DEMO_CONTROL_TABLE WHERE PIPELINE_NAME =:1";
var sql = snowflake.createStatement(
{sqlText: cmd,
binds: ['awesome_argument']
}
);
var result1 = sql.execute();
return result1;
$$;
CALL simple_stored_procedure_example('pipeline1');
It can be done like this:
create or replace table tst_tbl(c1 timestamp);
insert into tst_tbl values ('2021-02-02 10:00:00.000');
create or replace procedure my_test(myarg VARCHAR)
returns TIMESTAMP
language javascript
as
$$
var cmd = "SELECT c1 FROM tst_tbl";
var sql = snowflake.createStatement({sqlText: cmd});
var resultSet = sql.execute();
resultSet.next();
my_date = resultSet.getColumnValue(1);
return my_date;
$$;
call my_test('test');
I get 1 row back as expected.

Firebird stored procedure always returning zero

This is my stored procedure:
SET TERM ^ ;
CREATE PROCEDURE INSERT_ETYPE (
E_ID Integer,
E_NAME Varchar(20) CHARACTER SET NONE )
RETURNS (
NEW_ID Integer)
AS
declare variable addr varchar(20);
declare variable type smallint;
declare variable ord smallint;
declare variable cmd varchar(255);
declare variable answr varchar(255);
begin
insert into ETYPE
select * from ETYPE where ID=:e_id;
select max(ID) from ETYPE into :new_id;
update ETYPE set NAME = :e_name where ID = :new_id;
for
select ADDR,REGTYPE,ORD from ETYPEREGS
where ETYPE_ID=:e_id
into :addr,:type,:ord
do
begin
insert into ETYPEREGS
(ETYPE_ID,ADDR,REGTYPE,ORD)
values
(:new_id,:addr,:type,:ord);
end
for
select CMD,ANSWR,ORD,REGTYPE from ETYPESPECIAL
where ETYPE_ID=:e_id
into :cmd,:answr,:ord,:type
do
begin
insert into ETYPESPECIAL
(ETYPE_ID,CMD,ANSWR,ORD,REGTYPE)
values
(:new_id,:cmd,:answr,:ord,:type);
end
end^
SET TERM ; ^
This is my code in C++:
StoredProc_InsertEType->ParamByName("E_ID")->AsInteger = src_id;
StoredProc_InsertEType->ParamByName("E_NAME")->AsString = _name;
try
{
StoredProc_InsertEType->ExecProc();
new_id = StoredProc_InsertEType->ParamByName(L"NEW_ID")->AsInteger;
}
catch(EDBEngineError & e)
{
errors->Add(e.Message);
return false;
}
Variable new_id is always zero regardless of fact that table ETYPE is not empty. When I run command SELECT MAX(ID) FROM ETYPE from administration tool FlameRobin it returns correct number (~180). What should I do to obtain correct value of NEW_ID parameter?
you need to add
suspend;
in your sp
and query with
select * from your_sp
