Execute MSSQL Stored Procedure with Parameters

[kevinr432]

II wanted to call an MSSQL stored procedure from sqlpage. To test, I created a very simple stored procedure with one input parameter and a simple out. It works when called from SQL Enterprise manager. But I cannot figure out how to call it from sql page. Does anyone have any ideas?

Here is how I call it from SQL Enterprise Manager
execute SampleStoredProcedure 'This is a test!'

Here is how I tried to call it from sql page:
Execute SampleStoredProcedure $InputMessage;

See attachment.

Thank you,

Hello, and thank you for reporting this !

The SQL parser inside SQLPage currently does not support stored procedure calls with parameters in sql server. I will report this upstream and we will try to have this implemented.

In the mean time, calling stored procedures without parameters, and user-defined functions works, across all supported databases.

In your example case, you can create a user-defined function:

-- Create the function
CREATE FUNCTION SampleUserDefinedFunction
(
    @input VARCHAR(100)
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(200)
AS
BEGIN
    RETURN 'Your input was: ' + @input
END;

try online

and then use it in a select statement

select dbo.SampleUserDefinedFunction($InputMessage);

try online

I proposed a fix to the our sql parser; now waiting to get it approved: apache/datafusion-sqlparser-rs#1490

The function works perfectly. I don't know why I didn't think to try that. Thank you so much!

Ultimately, I wanted to update tables in the stored procedure. It seems that functions cannot update tables, so I think I will have to wait until the ability to call stored procedures with parameters is available.

[lovasoa]

What you can do already is use a table to pass parameters to your function. This can also serve as an event log.

insert into events values ('param 1', 'param2');
execute process_events;

[kevinr432]

That is a very good idea. I think I can work with that until the execute storedprocedure with parameters becomes available. Ultimately I want the put all of my complex editing and validation logic in the stored procedure and return “Success” or “Failed for XXXX reasons”

My contribution was accepted in the sql parser. Support for EXECUTE with parameters in SQL server will be in the next version of SQLPage !
