Doing what Andy did, I first got:

Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Ambiguous column name 'Val'.

Server: Msg 209, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Ambiguous column name 'Val'.

Then changed this:

SELECT...

Try this:

drop procedure dbo.ClntExport

go

create procedure dbo.ClntExport (@par1 varchar(50)) as

   --do some stuff

   select 'The parameter is: ' as MyDesc,@par1 as MyPar union

   select 'Dummy record is : ','Dummy'

go

drop procedure dbo.ClntImport

go

create...

You would have to Cut-n-paste a lot, but maybe this helps:

create table #t1 (pk_id int,col1 varchar(5), col2 varchar(5), col3 varchar(5))

create table #t2 (pk_id int,col1 int, col2 int, col3 int)

insert #t1...

declare @v1 int

set @v1 = 105000

update a

set @v1 = @v1+1,

    a.attribute_id = @v1

from YourTable a

where isnull(a.attribute_id,0) = 0

Sorry !!

where isnull(a.attribute_id,0) = 0

What about:

declare @v1 int

set @v1 = 105002

update a

set a.attribute_id = @v1 = @v1+1

from YourTable a

where isnull(a.Prop_ID,0) = 0

Try using charindex() eg:

declare @v1 varchar(100)

set @v1 = '1,2,3,4,5' --your incoming list

set @v1 = ','+@v1+','

select * from YourTable where charindex(','+YourField+',',@v1) > 0

Hi,

Veteran might have overlooked something. Try:

SELECT A.Dept_ID, 

 A.Dept_Name,

 A.Date_Stamp

FROM Departments A

WHERE A.Date_Stamp = (SELECT MAX(Date_Stamp)

   FROM Departments B

   WHERE A.Dept_ID = B.Dept_ID)

 AND

 A.Time_Stamp = (SELECT MAX(Time_Stamp)

   FROM Departments C

   WHERE A.Dept_ID = C.Dept_ID AND

    A.Date_Stamp = C.Date_Stamp)

Use a SP with "output" ?

drop table ##employee

go

select 'AA' as code,123 as employee_id into ##employee

go

drop procedure p1

go

create procedure p1 @Code varchar(10),@@employee_id int output as

 SELECT @@employee_id = employee_id

 FROM ##employee

 WHERE code =...
