Table variable in Dynamic SQL

  • Hi,

    Below query is giving error : "Must declare the scalar variable "@tblRules"."

    please tell me how can i use table variable in the below scenario. i cant use temp table.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    DECLARE

    @ParamDef NVARCHAR(MAX),

    @redirectSQL NVARCHAR(4000),

    @acct_id int

    SET @ParamDef = N'

    @acct_id int,

    idx int,

    thank_you_page_rule_stub uniqueidentifier,

    trigger_value_filter_id smallint,

    trigger_all_true_flag smallint

    ),

    @thank_you_page_stub ut_stub'

    select @redirectSQL = 'select 1 from dbo.vw_cvnt_Contact with (nolock)' +

    ' where acct_id = @acct_id' +

    ' and cont_stub = @cont_stub ' +

    ' and @rpt_field_header_dbcol ' +

    ' IN (Select trigger_choice from @tblRules where thank_you_page_stub =' +

    '@thank_you_page_stub)'

    --Execute the sql and check the count

    exec sp_executesql @redirectSQL, @ParamDef,

    @acct_id = @acct_id,

    @tblRules = @tblRules,

    I've never tried this one, so I'm not sure it's possible, but it could be that @@TableRules_Table in the parameter definition.

  • You are passing a table variable to sp_executeSQL that does not exist at the time of the call. You will need to declare the table variable first:

    DECLARE

    @ParamDef NVARCHAR(MAX),

    @redirectSQL NVARCHAR(4000),

    @acct_id int

    .....

    declare @tblRules table (

    idx int,

    thank_you_page_rule_stub uniqueidentifier,

    trigger_value_filter_id smallint,

    trigger_all_true_flag smallint

    )

    insert into @tblRules (...)

    select ...

    --Execute the sql and check the count

    exec sp_executesql @redirectSQL, @ParamDef,

    @acct_id = @acct_id,

    @tblRules = @tblRules,

    ...

    then populate it somehow, and then pass it as a parameter to sp_executeSQL. The same for other variables you seem to use in @redirectSQL (@cont_stub, @thank_you_page_stub, etc.)

  • no

    if you see my first mail

    it includes ::::::::::

    SET @ParamDef = N'

    @acct_id int,

    @tblRules table (

    idx int,

    thank_you_page_rule_stub uniqueidentifier,

    trigger_value_filter_id smallint,

    trigger_all_true_flag smallint

    ),

    @thank_you_page_stub ut_stub'

    it contains "@tblRules table " declaration .

  • Al-279884 is correct - you've missed the DECLARE statement from within the string ParamDef:

    e.g:

    DECLARE @ParamDef NVARCHAR(MAX)

    SET @ParamDef = N'

    DECLARE @tblRules table (

    tt_IDvarchar

    )

    insert into @tblRules(tt_ID)

    VALUES (''a'')

    select * from @tblRules'

    --Execute the sql and check the count

    exec sp_executesql @ParamDef

    no

    if you see my first mail

    it includes ::::::::::

    SET @ParamDef = N'

    @acct_id int,

    @tblRules table (

    idx int,

    thank_you_page_rule_stub uniqueidentifier,

    trigger_value_filter_id smallint,

    trigger_all_true_flag smallint

    ),

    @thank_you_page_stub ut_stub'

    it contains "@tblRules table " declaration .

    that is the table declaration as a parameter, not as a variable within your current session. The idea is that sp_executesql opens up a new session and runs a script in it. When you run sp_executesql you specify "@tblRules = @tblRules". The first one refers to @tblRules you have specified in @paramDef, which exists only in the new session sp_executesql created. The second one should be a local variable in you current session that you are trying to pass as a parameter. This second table is not defined.

  • Table variables are only visible in the scope that they are created in. They are not visible inside dynamic SQL.

    I don't think you can pass table variables around like that. Table variables don't support assignment operations and SQL 2005 doesn't have table-type parameters.

    I had my doubts whether you can pass table variables as parameters at all, but I was to lazy to try it myself.

    Thanks
