SQL Stored Procedure into QlikView

[#1]

Hi,

i'm currently trying to get data with stored procedures into Qlikview.
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

Hi Elzo,

It is possible:

LOAD xx, yy;

SQL EXEC sp_xxyy;

But sometimes it is a better idea to go back a step and load the source data from the SP into QV and manipulate it there - you might get more and better results that way.

Hi,

Yes, SQL Server
By using the EXECUTE command in an SQL statement it's possible to execute stored procedures, if the user is granted access to do so on the server. Here are two examples:

Executing sp with input / output parameters

SQL
declare @var3 int
execute sp_myProcedure 5,3, @var3 output
Select @var3 as result;


Executing sp returning a result set

SQL Execute CustOrderHist 'CustomerNo';

ORACLE:

In Oracle, you can call a stored function with a syntax like:

var result number
exec :result := pkg_ims_status.ext_checkdbstatus()

The function will return a value to be stored in the variable result.

You can call the same function in QlikView using an ordinary SQL SELECT-statement like:

SQL SELECT
pkg_ims_status.ext_checkdbstatus() as status;


Running a stored procedure without returning any recordset:

Use the function CALL to specify the name of the stored procedure.

Example (Launches XYZ with the two parameters 2 & 5):

sql call XYZ ( 2 , 5 );

This works for both ODBC and OLE DB. However, when opening the connection using OLE DB, make sure to add (mode is write) before the finishing semi colon in the connection string.

Note1:
You need to make sure that you activated "Open Databases in Read and Write mode" in QlikView. This is done in the script editor on the tab "Settings".

Note2:
If using OLEDB as a provider, you will also need to add the parameter "mode is write" in the OLEDB-connection:
CONNECT TO [Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security Info=True;Initial Catalog=Northwind;Data Source=mySQL;](mode is write);

hi Canolmez,
try this code snippet for any sp which takes two "dates" as input parameter and 1 outparameter. or u can create a new sample sp too if you are comfortable in writing stored procedures.
hopes this works for you

Input:

load

Input ('Enter an from date value', 'Input box') as value1_date,

Input('Enter an end date value', 'Input box') as value2_date

autogenerate 1;

Let FromDate = peek('value1_date',0,'Input');

Let DateTo = peek('value2_date',0,'Input');

sql

DECLARE @date1 datetime,

@date2 datetime,

@vol int

EXEC [dbo].[test_proc] '$(FromDate)', '$(DateTo)', @vol OUTPUT

SELECT @vol as vol
