Using update in a firebird stored procedure but data not changing - stored-procedures

I have the following stored procedure. I found a bug in my code that had resulted in bad data. I wrote this procedure to fix the data.
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE RESET_DISABLED_COUNT
returns (
person integer,
game integer,
disabled integer,
cnt integer)
as
begin
for select gr.person_id, gr.game_id, gr.disableds
from game_roster gr
into :person, :game, :disabled
do begin
select count(gr.id)
from game_roster gr
where gr.disabled_by_id = :person and gr.game_id = :game
into cnt;
if (cnt <> disabled) then begin
update game_roster gr set gr.disableds = :cnt where (gr.person_id = :person) and (gr.game_id = :game);
end
end
end
I then run the procedure from IBExpert and commit. However, when I run a query on the table, it shows that the old data is still there. What am I missing?

1) Can Cnt and Disabled variables contain NULLs? If so, change condition for
if (:cnt IS DISTINCT FROM :disabled) then ...
2) Make sure that you commit transaction after SP run.
3) Make sure that transaction you select data on is not SNAPSHOT transaction. If so, commit and reopen it before running SELECT query.
4) Recheck logic of your procedure.
5) Do you run your procedure inside IBExpert's debugger?

If you are using C# and ado, this snippet will be handy. Works file on Firebird 1.5 the usp UPDATE_stuff was a typical update or insert type of proc you take for granted with MSSQL. This will allow you to use a stored procedure and actually save the data and save weeks of wasted time.
Config.DB4FB.Open is just a nested class that opens a new FbConnection witt a optional connection string, cos if you are using firebird you need all the grief abstracted away:)
FbTransaction FTransaction=null;
using (FbConnection conn = Config.DB4FB.Open(ConnectionString))
{
FbTransactionOptions options = new FbTransactionOptions();
options.TransactionBehavior = FbTransactionBehavior.NoWait;
FTransaction = conn.BeginTransaction(options);
FbCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE_stuff";
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("KEY", key);
cmd.Transaction = FTransaction;
FbDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
while (reader.Read()){}
FTransaction.Commit();
}

Do you need to return the 4 output variables you set?
If you DONT need the return values, this is the same thing and "should" work
CREATE PROCEDURE RESET_DISABLED_COUNT
AS
declare person integer;
declare game integer;
declare disabled integer;
declare cnt integer;
begin
for select gr.person_id, gr.game_id, gr.disableds
from game_roster gr
into :person, :game, :disabled
do begin
select count(gr.id)
from game_roster gr
where gr.disabled_by_id = :person and gr.game_id = :game
into cnt;
if (cnt <> disabled) then begin
update game_roster gr set gr.disableds = :cnt where (gr.person_id = :person) and (gr.game_id = :game);
end
end
end

Error -206 creating Interbase stored procedure

I am attempting to create a stored procedure using an IBConsole interactive SQL window. The intent of the procedure is to gather data from two tables, do some processing on that data, insert rows containing that data into a working table, then return the rows from the working table as the stored procedure result. The stored procedure:
SET TERM ^;
CREATE PROCEDURE BIBLIO_SUBJECT
RETURNS (ID INTEGER, SUBJECT VARCHAR(200))
AS
DECLARE VARIABLE CUR_SUBJECT VARCHAR(200);
DECLARE VARIABLE SUBJECT_LIST VARCHAR(500);
DECLARE VARIABLE BIBLIOID INTEGER;
DECLARE VARIABLE NEXTPOS INTEGER;
BEGIN
DELETE FROM TSUBJECTS;
FOR SELECT BIBLIO.ID, BIBLIO.SUBJECTS
FROM BIBLIO
WHERE BIBLIO.PUBLISH = TRUE
INTO :BIBLIOID, :SUBJECT_LIST
DO
BEGIN
SUBJECT_LIST = BIBLIO.SUBJECTS + ';';
NEXTPOS = LOCATE(";", SUBJECT_LIST);
WHILE (:NEXTPOS > 1) DO
BEGIN
CUR_SUBJECT = SUBSTR(:SUBJECT_LIST, 1, NEXTPOS - 1);
SUBJECT_LIST = SUBSTR(:SUBJECT_LIST, NEXTPOS + 1, STRLEN(SUBJECT_LIST));
INSERT INTO TSUBJECTS (SUBJECT, ID) VALUES(:CUR_SUBJECT, :BIBLIOID);
NEXTPOS = LOCATE(";", SUBJECT_LIST);
END
END
FOR SELECT BIBLIO_BEAST.BIBLIO_ID, BEAST.BEAST_NAME
FROM BIBLIO_BEAST
INNER JOIN BEAST ON (BEAST.ID = BIBLIO_BEAST.BEAST_ID)
INNER JOIN BIBLIO ON (BIBLIO.ID = BIBLIO_BEAST.BIBLIO_ID)
WHERE BIBLIO.PUBLISH = TRUE
INTO :BIBLIOID, :CUR_SUBJECT
DO
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TSUBJECTS (SUBJECT, ID) VALUES(:CUR_SUBJECT, :BIBLIOID);
END
FOR SELECT ID, SUBJECT
FROM TSUBJECTS
INTO :ID, :SUBJECT
DO
SUSPEND;
END^
SET TERM ;^
When I execute the above code in IBConsole I get the error:
Error at line 2

END
FOR SELECT ID, SUBJECT

SUSPEND;

It doesn't say which column is "unknown", and line 2 is (apparently) the RETURNS clause of the CREATE PROCEDURE. Not at all helpful.
Each of the SQL statements in the stored procedure (3 SELECTs, a DELETE, 2 INSERTs) work without error if executed separately in an Interactive SQL window, so all of their columns are "known". BIBLIO_SUBJECT is not the name of an existing stored procedure, nor is it the name of an existing table, or anything else in the database.
This has me baffled. Online searches provide no answer. So I am hoping the clever Stack Overflow people can help me get this working.

Well, I figured it out. It was the statement:
SUBJECT_LIST = BIBLIO.SUBJECTS + ';';
The SUBJECT_LIST variable is already used in the preceding select. A silly mistake, but I am old.
Not that it matters since the Interbase UDF functions Locate() and Substr() can only handle 80 character strings, which makes them really useless to me... and probably useless to most.

why does Stored procedure not return the 'Out' parameter in bigquery?

I am writing below Stored Procedure in BigQuery but not sure where did I do wrong.
The 'Out' Parameter does not return anything.
Stored Procedure:
create procedure if not exists test.GetNumTherapistSessions(
in LastNamee string,
out NumSessione int64
)
begin
select count(s.SessionNum) as NumSession from test.Session s
inner join test.Therapist t on s.TherapistID=t.TherapistID
where t.LastName=LastNamee;
end
and Here is how I declare the output parameter and how to call it:
declare NumSession int64;
call test.GetNumTherapistSessions("Risk",NumSession);
Here is the output:
So far everything seems right, but when I select the NumSession, it returns Null:
select NumSession;
Output:
Try SET NumSessione = (select count...);
create procedure if not exists test.GetNumTherapistSessions(
in LastNamee string,
out NumSessione int64
)
begin
SET NumSessione = (
select count(s.SessionNum) as NumSession from test.Session s
inner join test.Therapist t on s.TherapistID=t.TherapistID
where t.LastName=LastNamee
);
end
As shown in this docs of bigquery Link you can use SET to assign any values you need to a specific Variables.
Note that bigquery don't have SELECT INTO statement inside procedure.
Examples:
SET (value1, value2, value3) = (SELECT AS STRUCT c1, c2, c3 FROM table_name WHERE condition)
From this answer:select-into-with-bigquery
Another Example:
UPDATE dataset.Inventory
SET quantity = quantity +
(SELECT quantity FROM dataset.NewArrivals
WHERE Inventory.product = NewArrivals.product),
supply_constrained = false
WHERE product IN (SELECT product FROM dataset.NewArrivals)

Can you access the return of a stored proc using cfstoredproc, even if return is not defined as an out parameter?

I have a stored procedure whose return I want to access, using the Coldfusion cfstoredproc tag. However, the return variable is not listed as an out param, along with the 6 "in" params. See procedure's code below:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Hire_AddEVerifyEmpCloseCase]
(
#e_verify_id bigint
,#ClientSftwrVer varchar(30)=null
,#CaseNbr char(15)
,#CloseStatus varchar(50)
,#CurrentlyEmployed varchar(1)
,#submit_user_id int
//THIS LINE IS MISSING: #EmpCloseCase_Id int OUTPUT
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #EmpCloseCase_id int
SET #EmpCloseCase_id=0
SELECT #EmpCloseCase_id = EmpCloseCase_id FROM Appl_Hired_EVerify_EmpCloseCase WITH(NOLOCK) WHERE e_verify_id = #e_verify_id
BEGIN TRANSACTION EmpCloseCase
BEGIN TRY
IF(#EmpCloseCase_id = 0) BEGIN
INSERT INTO Appl_Hired_EVerify_EmpCloseCase(e_verify_id,ClientSftwrVer,CaseNbr,CloseStatus,CurrentlyEmployed, systemdate,submit_user_id)
VALUES (#e_verify_id,#ClientSftwrVer,#CaseNbr,#CloseStatus,#CurrentlyEmployed,GETDATE(),#submit_user_id)
SET #EmpCloseCase_id=ISNULL(SCOPE_IDENTITY(),0)
END ELSE BEGIN
UPDATE Appl_Hired_EVerify_EmpCloseCase
SET ClientSftwrVer = #ClientSftwrVer,
CaseNbr = #CaseNbr,
CloseStatus = #CloseStatus,
CurrentlyEmployed = #CurrentlyEmployed,
systemdate = GETDATE(),
submit_user_id = #submit_user_id
WHERE EmpCloseCase_id = #EmpCloseCase_id
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION EmpCloseCase
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SET #EmpCloseCase_id=0
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION EmpCloseCase
END CATCH
RETURN #EmpCloseCase_id
END
Because that "OUTPUT" line is missing, it throws an error if I try to include <cfprocparam type="out" variable="empCloseCaseId"> in my cfstoredproc. Is there any way to access/store the value of this return variable #EmpCloseCase_id, using cfstoredproc, without having to add in that missing "OUTPUT" line or otherwise change the proc's code?
Change
RETURN #EmpCloseCase_id
to
SELECT #EmpCloseCase_id as emp_close_case_id
and in your cfstoredproc call, add
<cfprocresult name="foo">
This defines the variable foo as a query with a single row and a column emp_close_case_id.
<cfoutput>
#foo.emp_close_case_id#
</cfoutput>
EDIT: No way to access that data without properly declaring the output variable or returning a data set with a select statement. SQL Server docs: Return Data from a Stored Procedure

How can I create a stored procedure to only allow inserts in a particular month?

I want to create a stored procedure that only does inserts in the month of March. The stored procedure should accept values for the table but use the system date to determine if the records should be inserted.
This is what I was trying but procedure created with errors.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_time_1203383 (
p_sales_id IN sales_1203383.SALES_ID%TYPE,
p_product IN sales_1203383.PRODUCT%TYPE,
p_unitcost IN sales_1203383.UNITCOST%TYPE,
p_quantity IN sales_1203383.QUANTITY%TYPE
)
IS
BEGIN
IF( MONTH( GETDATE() ) = 3 )
BEGIN
INSERT INTO sales_1203383 ("SALES_ID", "PRODUCT", "UNITCOST", "QUANTITY")
VALUES (p_sales_id, p_product,p_unitcost, p_quantity);
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT 'Can Only insert during the month of March'
END
COMMIT;
END;
I think Praveen gave you the right advice.
I personally would not use the
SELECT count(1) into v_cnt FROM dual WHERE month(sysdate) = 3;
but you can check in a if ... then ... else ... end; statement with the following code:
if to_char(sysdate,'mm') = '03' then ... end;
There are a few errors in your stored procedure:
You cannot have select with if statement
Use then with IF statement and at end End if
; has to be used with End statement
You cannot return a select set from a procedure/function/block (ref cursor should be used)
If you want raise error in the else part use raise_application_error.
If your select statement is like select 'something' use dummy table dual, select 'something' from dual
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_time_1203383 (
p_sales_id IN sales_1203383.SALES_ID%TYPE,
p_product IN sales_1203383.PRODUCT%TYPE,
p_unitcost IN sales_1203383.UNITCOST%TYPE,
p_quantity IN sales_1203383.QUANTITY%TYPE
)
IS
v_cnt NUMBER;
BEGIN
SELECT count(1) into v_cnt FROM dual WHERE month(sysdate) = 3;
IF v_cnt > 0 THEN
INSERT INTO sales_1203383 ("SALES_ID", "PRODUCT", "UNITCOST", "QUANTITY")
VALUES (p_sales_id, p_product, p_unitcost, p_quantity);
ELSE
raise_application_error(-20101, 'Can Only insert during the month of March');
END IF;
END;

I cannot get the output parameter when use function import by Entity Framework

Here's my SQL Server stored procedure :
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchUser]
(#Text NVARCHAR(100),
#TotalRows INT = 0 OUTPUT)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT #TotalRows=1000
SELECT * from Users
END
And my C# code
using (var context = new TestDBEntities())
{
var outputParameter = new ObjectParameter("TotalRows", typeof(Int32));
context.SearchUser("", outputParameter);
Response.Write(outputParameter.Value);
}
However outputParameter.Value always is null.
Could anybody tell me why?
Output parameters filled by its actual values during the execution of the stored procedure.
But table-valued stored procedure actually get executed only in moment when you're trying to iterate resulting recordset, but not calling a wrapper method.
So, this DOES'T work:
using (var context = new TestDBEntities())
{
var outputParameter = new ObjectParameter("TotalRows", typeof(Int32));
context.SearchUser("", outputParameter);
// Paremeter value is null, because the stored procedure haven't been executed
Response.Write(outputParameter.Value);
}
This DOES:
using (var context = new TestDBEntities())
{
var outputParameter = new ObjectParameter("TotalRows", typeof(Int32));
// Procedure does not executes here, we just receive a reference to the output parameter
var results = context.SearchUser("", outputParameter);
// Forcing procedure execution
results.ToList();
// Parameter has it's actual value
Response.Write(outputParameter.Value);
}
When you're working with stored procedures what don't return any recordset, they execute immediately after a method call, so you have actual value in output parameter.
We had a simular issue due to defered excecution our unit tests failed. In short if you have a stored proc that does NOT return anything you need to be sure to set the response type as 'None' when set as 'None' it will be excecuted when called and not defered.
In case you return anything (E.g. Scalar type of String results) it will excecute it when you use the result even if that .Count() or .ToList() is outside of the method that contains the function call.
So try not to force excecution if not need, when needed it should excecute but be sure to declare it correctly or it might not work.
I have same problem before. The main reason I think that the entities framework has the bug in case the user stored procedure has output parameter and return a result set. For example:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchTest]
(
#RowTotal INT = 0 OUTPUT,
#RowCount INT = 0 OUTPUT
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT * FROM SomeThing
SELECT #RowTotal = 1233, #RowCount = 5343
END
However if you change the user stored procedure as following, you can get the output params
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchTest]
(
#RowTotal INT = 0 OUTPUT,
#RowCount INT = 0 OUTPUT
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT #RowTotal = 1233, #RowCount = 5343
END
You can workaround as following:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchTest]
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #RowTotal INT, #RowCount INT
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT #RowTotal = 1233, #RowCount = 5343
SELECT #RowTotal AS RowTotal, #RowCount AS RowCount, s.*
FROM SomeThing s
END
If anybody has better solution, please tell me
