Question

Must declare the table variable

Asked by: B_Dorsey

I have another question open with suggestions to get variables into the stored procedure I provided, and while waiting I found something called dynamic sql and tried it, but I keep getting the error 'Msg 1087, Level 15, State 2, Line 2
Must declare the table variable "@TempItems"'

Can anyone point out the obvious or am I doing this incorrectly... it lets me create the stored procedure , but I cannot run it.

set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

    the problem is that the temp table is not known inside the dynamic sql (different scope).

    so, unless you find a method to get rid of the dynamic sql, you have to put all that part into the dynamic sql:

    set ANSI_NULLS ON
    set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
    go
     
    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[JobSearch]
    (
          @startRowIndex int,
          @maximumRows int,
          @firstString varchar(50)='',
          @secondString varchar(50)='',
          @thirdString varchar(50)='',
          @CountryRequest int = 0
    )
    AS
     
     
    DECLARE @SearchTerms nvarchar(500);
    IF NOT @firstString = ''
     BEGIN
     SET @SearchTerms = '(' + @firstString + ')'
    END
    IF NOT @secondString = '' AND NOT @SearchTerms = ''
     BEGIN
     SET @SearchTerms = @SearchTerms + ' OR (' + @secondString + ')'
    END
    IF NOT @thirdString = '' AND NOT @SearchTerms = ''
     BEGIN
     SET @SearchTerms = @SearchTerms + ' OR (' + @thirdString + ')'
    END
    IF NOT @SearchTerms = ''
     BEGIN
     SET @SearchTerms =  ' AND (CONTAINS (job.jobs_title,' + @SearchTerms + ') OR CONTAINS (job.jobs_description,' + @SearchTerms + ') OR CONTAINS (job.jobs_keywords,' + @SearchTerms + '))'
    END
     
    DECLARE @CountryString varchar(20);
    IF NOT @CountryRequest = 0
     BEGIN
     SET @CountryString = ' AND jobs_citys_id = ' + @CountryRequest
    END
     
    DECLARE @maxRow int
     
    SET @maxRow = (@startRowIndex + @maximumRows) - 1 
    SET ROWCOUNT @maxRow
     
    SET ROWCOUNT @maximumRows

    THe problem is here....since your table variable is local only to your current scope, you can't use dynamic sql to access it.

    EXEC('SELECT job.jobs_id,job.jobs_title,job.jobs_refid,job.jobs_date,job.jobs_preview,company.companys_name,company.companys_id,city.citys_text,country.countrys_short
    FROM @TempItems tmp
          LEFT JOIN jobs job ON job.jobs_id = tmp.jobs_id
          LEFT JOIN companys company ON company.companys_id = tmp.companys_id
          LEFT JOIN citys city ON city.citys_id = tmp.citys_id
          LEFT JOIN countrys country ON country.countrys_id = tmp.countrys_id
    WHERE ID >= @startRowIndex'+ @SearchTerms + @CountryString)

     

    by: chapmandewPosted on 2009-05-04 at 11:37:52ID: 24297846

    you can change your table variable to be a global temp table ##tempItems, and it will fix your problem.

     

    by: chapmandewPosted on 2009-05-04 at 11:39:15ID: 24297858

    why are you using the table variable at all?  it looks like you're  just returning data, so its really not necessary.

     

    by: B_DorseyPosted on 2009-05-04 at 11:52:42ID: 24297973

    sorry guys Im completly lost...

    Are their any pages that can help me... Im just trying to page some results based on some keywords and options... it works fine if I hardcode everything in...(without the exec)

     

    by: angelIIIPosted on 2009-05-04 at 12:02:04ID: 24298075

    please try to use my code as I posted it...

    apart from that, reread my explanation:

    the problem is that the temp table (variable) is not known inside the dynamic sql (as that has a different scope, so the @table variable declared outside of exec() is not visible inside of exec() ).

     

    by: Sharath_123Posted on 2009-05-04 at 12:06:56ID: 24298122

    @angel... well it made by that error except I got a new one (same kinda thing)

    Must declare the scalar variable "@startRowIndex".

    @chapmandew & @Sharath_123
    How would this scenario run under pressure? Is it good for high traffic?

    Thanks Guys

    As your conditions in the WHERE clause vary with the variables (@SearchTerms , @CountryString ), you need to build to the dynamic sql.


    At first shot, i always avoid using dynamic sql until it is necessary. If used, then use temp tables instead of table variables to avoid error like this.


    In the attached script of my last post, i haven't updated the table variable to temp table in all places. check that and modify accordingly.

    I tried the attached code, works fine unless I put a search term in... as soon as I do that I get

    Run this and check the dynamic sql executed for any syntax errors. I am not sure what are you doing in these parameters @startRowIndex ,@SearchTerms and @CountryString.
    So better try to print your dynamic sql and debug the error. you can post the dynamic sql here for any assistance.

    set ANSI_NULLS ON
