I'm trying to create a query in which I cycle through all the databases in a server, run a stored procedure on it, and save it to a results table.
This is what I have thus far:
CREATE table results (Severity INT, PurchaseOrderNumber INT,
PurchaseOrderLineNumber SMALLINT, ShipmentNumber SMALLINT,
ErrorCode int, ErrorText VARCHAR(256), DateCreated datetime)
EXECUTE sp_msForEachDB '
IF "?" LIKE "VIS%"
BEGIN
USE "?"
INSERT INTO results EXECUTE IC_PURCHASEORDER
END
'
SELECT * FROM results
DROP TABLE results
What I'm hoping to accomplish from this code is to run the IC_PURCHASEORDER stored procedure over all of the databases in the server, and record the result of that into the created results table. After that, I would be able to e-mail those results off to a supervisor, and then drop the table, but that's a job for another day. I know there exists a syntax error in the IF statement, that results in the following error
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near '{insert database name here}'.
Would it be possible to get some insight to what I'm trying to accomplish? Thanks!
Update your code as follows, should do the trick:
CREATE table results (Severity INT, PurchaseOrderNumber INT,
PurchaseOrderLineNumber SMALLINT, ShipmentNumber SMALLINT,
ErrorCode int, ErrorText VARCHAR(256), DateCreated datetime)
exec sp_msForEachDB 'use [?];
if ''?'' like ''vis%''
begin
if object_id(''IC_PURCHASEORDER'') is not null
begin
INSERT INTO results EXECUTE IC_PURCHASEORDER
end
else
begin
print ''missing proc in ?''
end
end'
SELECT * FROM results
DROP TABLE results
Simple test... run this, it will tell you all db's like '%a%':
exec sp_msForEachDB 'use [?];
if ''?'' like ''%a%''
begin
select ''? is like a''
end
else
begin
select ''? is not like a''
end'
