and v3.f_id = 22483
and (value = N'sasdfa'))
order by
l.id desc
and exists part will add dynamically.

If you are wanting a variable to be part of the text such as:
'select 1 from values v#pk+1 where v1.e_id = #pk+1.e_id'
Then you need to escape the string and add the variable -- but beware this is prone to SQL Injection attacks if you don't strictly control the source of the variable data!
Example:
'select 1 from values v'+convert(varchar(15),#pk+1)+' where v1.e_id = '+convert(varchar(15),#pk+1)+'.e_id'
If you simply want to pass the variable into the string such as:
'and v5.f_id=#fid and(value=#val))'
Then you leave those variables unescaped, and pass them into sp_executesql
Example:
exec sp_executesql #SQL, N'#fid int, #val varchar(max)', #fid=#fid, #val=#val

Split string values separated by a semicolon using sProc in MySQL 8

I need split this string using stored Procedure in MySQL 8 version
"John;Elizabeth;Mark;Zagor;Annie;Lucy;Peter;Robin;Wilson;Tom;Bettie;Myriam;Frankie;Nick;Marilyn"
The string values are separated by a semicolon.
My sProc below.
The problem it's in output.
The first name splitted on this string it's Elizabeth and not John.
Where is it John?
All other names are present in output of sProc, only John is missing...
What am I doing wrong?
BEGIN
DECLARE tNameSeries LONGTEXT;
DECLARE t_tNameSeries LONGTEXT;
SET tNameSeries = "John;Elizabeth;Mark;Zagor;Annie;Lucy;Peter;Robin;Wilson;Tom;Bettie;Myriam;Frankie;Nick;Marilyn";
WHILE LOCATE(";",tNameSeries) > 0 DO
SET tNameSeries = REPLACE (tNameSeries, (SELECT LEFT(tNameSeries,LOCATE(";",tNameSeries))),'');
SET t_tNameSeries = SUBSTRING_INDEX(tNameSeries,";",1);
SELECT t_tNameSeries;
END WHILE;
END
update
Using ths edit sProc the output is only John
BEGIN
DECLARE tNameSeries LONGTEXT;
DECLARE t_tNameSeries LONGTEXT;
SET tNameSeries = "John;Elizabeth;Mark;Zagor;Annie;Lucy;Peter;Robin;Wilson;Tom;Bettie;Myriam;Frankie;Nick;Marilyn";
WHILE LOCATE(";",tNameSeries) > 0 DO
SET t_tNameSeries = SUBSTRING_INDEX(tNameSeries,";",1);
SET tNameSeries = REPLACE (t_tNameSeries, (SELECT LEFT(t_tNameSeries,LOCATE(";",t_tNameSeries))),'');
SELECT tNameSeries;
END WHILE;
END
SELECT *

Insert it into the SP if needed.
This works too:
set #names = 'John;Elizabeth;Mark;Zagor;Annie;Lucy;Peter;Robin;Wilson;Tom;Bettie;Myriam;Frankie;Nick;Marilyn';
select
substring_index(substring_index(#names,';',R),';',-1) W
from (select row_number() over () as R
from information_schema.tables) x
where x.R<=1+length(#names)-length(replace(#names,';',''));

SQL Server - Unable to run cursor FETCH statement dynamically stored in variable

I've a cursor which fetch dynamic number of columns because the "SELECT STATEMENT" which I use to declare this cursor is dynamic.
Since I do not know at any point of time, how many columns this cursor will have, I cannot declare fixed number of variables into fetch.
So I have built FETCH statement as dynamic and stored in one #variable... but when i run fetch statement using EXEC sp_executesql
its failing with error ..Must declare the scalar variable "#objcursor".
I know that #objcursor variable is not accessible becasue while sp_executesql run which run on isolate THREAD
is there any way someone can advise, how to handle this code to run without an error?
Here is my T-SQL code:
/* ==== Variable Declaration ==== */
declare #AllValues nvarchar(max)
declare #objcursor as cursor
declare #MonthCount integer
declare
#vsql as nvarchar(max)
,#vquery as nvarchar(max)
,#id as int
,#value as varchar(50)
BEGIN
SELECT #AllValues = CASE
WHEN t.column_id=1 THEN
(COALESCE(#AllValues +'"', '')+ t.name)+'"'
WHEN t.column_id > 1 THEN
(COALESCE(#AllValues + ',"', '') + t.name)+'"'
END
FROM
(
SELECT sc.name, sc.column_id FROM sys.objects o
INNER JOIN sys.columns sc ON o.object_id = sc.object_id
WHERE o.name = 'temp_daywise' AND o.type = 'U' AND (sc.name like '%Curr Yr%' or column_id=1)
) AS t
ORDER BY t.column_id
SET #AllValues='SELECT "'+#AllValues+' FROM dbo.temp_daywise'
set #vquery = #AllValues
set #vsql = 'set #cursor = cursor forward_only static for ' + #vquery + ' open #cursor;'
exec sys.sp_executesql
#vsql
,N'#cursor cursor output'
,#objcursor output
---Handling Dynamic number of columns in a cursor, get the column count first and build FETCH statement dynamically
Select #CurCount=COUNT(*) from sys.columns where object_id in(
SELECT object_id from sys.objects where name = 'dbo.temp_daywise' and type = 'U' )
and (name like '%Curr Yr%');
SET #LoopCount = 1
--here building my fetch statement
SET #fetchsql ='fetch next from #objcursor into #AgreementID'
WHILE #LoopCount <= #CurCount
BEGIN
SET #fetchsql = #fetchsql+','+'#CY_Day'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),#LoopCount)
SET #LoopCount = #LoopCount + 1
END
--EXEC #fetchsql
EXEC sp_executesql #fetchsql
while (##fetch_status = 0)
begin
BEGIN
'update ...here something'
END
EXEC #fetchsql
end
close #objcursor
deallocate #objcursor
END
Here is my data and expected resullts:
1) My dynamic cusror will read column name from sys.columns because coulmns are not static that's based on columns count I'm building FETCH statement. following code build cusrsor SELECT statement
SELECT #AllValues = CASE
WHEN t.column_id=1 THEN
(COALESCE(#AllValues +'"', '')+ t.name)+'"'
WHEN t.column_id > 1 THEN
(COALESCE(#AllValues + ',"', '') + t.name)+'"'
END
FROM
(
SELECT sc.name, sc.column_id FROM sys.objects o
INNER JOIN sys.columns sc ON o.object_id = sc.object_id
WHERE o.name = 'temp_daywise' AND o.type = 'U' AND (sc.name like '%Curr Yr%' or column_id=1)
) AS t
ORDER BY t.column_id
SET #AllValues='SELECT "'+#AllValues+' FROM dbo.temp_daywise'
set #vquery = #AllValues
set #vsql = 'set #cursor = cursor forward_only static for ' + #vquery + ' open #cursor;'
exec sys.sp_executesql
#vsql
,N'#cursor cursor output'
,#objcursor output
2) I want to update fetch data into following table for columns Day1...Day31. if cusrsor found 20 columns data will update until CY_Day20.
3) In short, i do not know the cusror retrieving columns at design time so i can't produce fetching variable. Since columns are known at run tiume, i have to build fetch & update statment in while loop as like below:
Note: ignore DECLARE which is on start of the code... but i placed here to get an idea.
DECLARE
#CY_Day1 Numeric(18,2), #CY_Day2 Numeric(18,2), #CY_Day3 Numeric(18,2), #CY_Day4 Numeric(18,2), #CY_Day5 Numeric(18,2),
, #CY_Day7 Numeric(18,2), #CY_Day8 Numeric(18,2), #CY_Day9 Numeric(18,2), #CY_Day10 Numeric(18,2), #PY_Day10 Numeric(18,2), #CY_Day11 Numeric(18,2), #CY_Day12 Numeric(18,2),........ #CY_Day31 Numeric(18,2)
Select #CurCount=COUNT(*) from sys.columns where object_id in(
SELECT object_id from sys.objects where name = 'dbo.temp_daywise' and type = 'U' )
and (name like '%Curr Yr%');
SET #LoopCount = 1
SET #fetchsql ='fetch next from #objcursor into #AgreementID'
SET #updatesql ='UPDATE dbo.TPDD_Report_Monthly_Details SET '
WHILE #LoopCount <= 2
BEGIN
SET #fetchsql = #fetchsql+','+'#CY_Day'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),#LoopCount)
SET #updatesql= #updatesql +'CY_Day'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),#LoopCount)+' = #CY_Day'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),#LoopCount)+',CY_TPDD_Day'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),#LoopCount)+' = (#CY_Day'+CONVERT(VARCHAR(2),#LoopCount)+'/1/1),'
SET #LoopCount = #LoopCount + 1
END
SET #updatesql =#updatesql + ' dss_update_time = #v_dss_update_time WHERE AgreementId = #AgreementID and TpddYear=CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),#Current_year)+CONVERT(VARCHAR(4),#Previous_year) and Running_Month = #MonthNo'
--EXEC #fetchsql
PRINT #fetchsql
PRINT #updatesql
---executing FETCH statement
EXEC sp_executesql #fetchsql
while (##fetch_status = 0)
begin
BEGIN
---updating table columns
EXEC sp_executesql #updatesql
END
EXEC #fetchsql
end
close #objcursor
deallocate #objcursor
Finally my cusrsor fetch & udpate statement will looks like below:
fetch next from #objcursor into #AgreementID,#CY_Day1,#CY_Day2,#CY_Day3,#CY_Day4,#CY_Day5,#CY_Day6,#CY_Day7,#CY_Day8,#CY_Day9,#CY_Day10
UPDATE dbo.TPDD_Report_Monthly_Details SET
CY_Day1 = #CY_Day1, CY_TPDD_Day1 = (#CY_Day1/1/1),
CY_Day2 = #CY_Day2, CY_TPDD_Day2 = (#CY_Day2/1/1),
CY_Day3 = #CY_Day3, CY_TPDD_Day3 = (#CY_Day3/1/1),
CY_Day4 = #CY_Day4, CY_TPDD_Day4 = (#CY_Day4/1/1),
CY_Day5 = #CY_Day5, CY_TPDD_Day5 = (#CY_Day5/1/1),
CY_Day6 = #CY_Day6, CY_TPDD_Day6 = (#CY_Day6/1/1),
CY_Day7 = #CY_Day7, CY_TPDD_Day7 = (#CY_Day7/1/1),
CY_Day8 = #CY_Day8, CY_TPDD_Day8 = (#CY_Day8/1/1),
CY_Day9 = #CY_Day9, CY_TPDD_Day9 = (#CY_Day9/1/1),
CY_Day10 = #CY_Day10, CY_TPDD_Day10 = (#CY_Day10/1/1),
dss_update_time = #v_dss_update_time
WHERE AgreementId = #AgreementID
Hope I;m able to present my problem correctly.

how to resolve the error: Maximum stored procedure, function, trigger, or view nesting level exceeded(limit 32)

I am creating a view using another view inner join(ed) with a table valued function ,
this table valued function calls a Scalar valued function to populate one of its column, when I execute the same,
i get error stating : Maximum stored procedure, function, trigger, or view nesting level exceeded(limit 32)
can anyone help .....plz
*Below is the table valued function
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[sstfnAllSubjectWithAASDID]
(
)
RETURNS
#tt TABLE
(
AASDID numeric(18,0),
SubjectString nvarchar(MAX),
SubjectCount int
)
AS
BEGIN
declare #pID numeric(18,0)
declare #pStr nvarchar(MAx)
declare #pCount int
Declare LAASDID Cursor Read_Only Fast_Forward for (SELECT AASDid from vwAcdAdmissionSessionDetailWithAcdAdmissionSessionSubjectDetail)
open LAASDID
FETCH next from LAASDID into #pID
while(##FETCH_STATUS =0)
BEGIN
set #pCount = (SELECT COUNT( MasterSubject.SubjectName ) as cnt
FROM AcdAdmissionSessionSubjectDetail INNER JOIN
MasterSubject ON AcdAdmissionSessionSubjectDetail.SubjectId = MasterSubject.SubjectId where
AcdAdmissionSessionSubjectDetail.AASDID = #pID
)
set #pStr = (SELECT [dbo].[ssspfnGetSubjectname] (#pID))
Insert Into #tt (AASDID,SubjectString,SubjectCount) values (#pID,#pStr,#pCount)
FETCH next from LAASDID into #pID
END
RETURN
END
And this is the scalar valued function which it calls
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[ssspfnGetSubjectname]
(
#pAASDID numeric(18,0)
)
RETURNS nvarchar(max)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #Cols1 as nvarchar(max)
set #Cols1 = STUFF( (SELECT DISTINCT SubjectName + ','
FROM ( SELECT AcdAdmissionSessionSubjectDetail.AASDID, MasterSubject.SubjectName as SubjectName

Both OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE should be used only for accessing external data for, let's say, quick and dirty solutions, or when it is not possible to configure a permanent linked server. These functions do not provide all of the functionality available from a linked server.
The arguments of OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE do not support variables. They have to be specified as string-literal. If variables need to be passed in as arguments to these functions, a query string containing these variables can be constructed dynamically and executed using the EXEC statement.
Similar to (not syntax checked)

Handling larger strings in Sql Server 2008

We have an stored procedure that we created so that user can write comma separated search tags in their software product's admin. So he can add comma-separated tags and in case if he wants to edit them, we read from the table all the tags, recreate them as comma-separated values (CSV) in stored procedure and returns that to the calling code. What happened recently, the user complained that he could not see the new CSVs he wrote. I looked into it and found out that the stored procedure is truncating the string when it reads values from database and creates CSV string. The string is of type nvarchar, and because its exceeding the max characters of 4000 limit, the values gets truncated. Any ideas on how to work out that problem.
Find my code underneath.

How are your declaring the string parameter?
