Dynamic SQL trouble

Hi all,

I had a stored procedure that i wanted to be able to pass parameters
to so i used dynamic SQL. I am getting very strange errors though when
i try to execute it. My code works just fine, but when i add the
dynamic sql parts in, it gives the strangest errors. Here is the code
that executes it...

Declare @.data_source varchar(50)
Declare @.target_DB varchar(20)
Declare @.trans_start varchar(8)
Declare @.trans_stop varchar(8)

SET @.data_source = 'vwBST_Expense_Transfer_ODCs'
SET @.target_DB = 'DevDB'
SET @.trans_start = '09/26/55'
SET @.trans_stop = '10/23/04'

exec spBST_RSB_Import_Expense_Transfer_ODCs @.target_DB, @.data_source,
@.trans_start, @.trans_stop

And here is the code that is in the sp...

GOHi

Although you say it errors you don't say what they are. If you ran profiler
you could see the statement sent to the server, alternatively you can print
the statement instead of executing it.

So strange that you don't even have to guts to post them?

Sure, you included the code, so I could try it myself. The first errors
were due to wrapped comments, certainly accidents in news transport.

Once those were fixed, I got:

Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 1, Line 443
Must declare the variable '@.sys_doc_ty'.

Since your procedure is over 500 lines long, and this is a truncated
name, it appears obviously clear what happens: the dynamic SQL is
more than 8000 chars long. You could have to use two variables, and
then run it as

EXEC(@.sql1 + @.sql2)

You can also shorten the code, by writing the cursor loop as:

DECLARE mycur CURSOR FOR
SELECT ...

OPEN mycur

WHILE 1 = 1
BEGIN
FETCH mycur INTO @.var1, ...
IF @.@.fetch_status <> 0
BREAK

-- work goes here.
END

DEALLOCATE mycur

With the terrifying number of columns you have this is almost a necessity,
to reduce the risk that the two FETCH statements are different.

You may still have to two SQL variables though.

I also like to point out that with some effort you could probably get
rid of the cursor and run everything as

INSERT tbl
SELECT ...

This can give a huge boost in performance.
