SQL SERVER | Table-Valued Parameters – an easy way to marshal multiple rows of data from a client application to SQL

In this post we shall understand the best use of Table-Valued Parameters and how we can use them to marshal multiple rows to the database(SQL SERVER) from UI. In this post e shall understand the limitations of Table-Valued Parameters.

Table-valued parameters provide an easy way to marshal multiple rows of data from a client application to SQL Server without requiring multiple round trips or special server-side logic for processing the data. You can use table-valued parameters to encapsulate rows of data in a client application and send the data to the server in a single parameterized command. The incoming data rows are stored in a table variable that can then be operated on by using Transact-SQL.

Column values in table-valued parameters can be accessed using standard Transact-SQL SELECT statements. Table-valued parameters are strongly typed and their structure is automatically validated. The size of table-valued parameters is limited only by server memory.

Sample Example – How we can use the Table Variable as INPUT parameters

In this example we create a MyTable Table and pass the table variable to insert data using stored procedure.

CREATE MyTable

--

CREATE TABLE Mytable
( 
	 Id INT
	,Vals Varchar(10) 
)
GO

--

CREATE type as Table

--

CREATE TYPE dbo.MyData AS TABLE  
( 
	 Id INT
	,Vals Varchar(10) 
)
GO

--

CREATE stored procedure with table variable as input parameter

--

CREATE PROC InsertDATA
(
	@tvp MyData READONLY 
)
AS
BEGIN
	INSERT INTO Mytable  
	SELECT Id,Vals FROM @tvp
END


--

Call stored procedure passing table valued parameter as input parameter

--

DECLARE @tv AS MyData
INSERT INTO @tv VALUES (1,'Pawan')
EXEC InsertDATA @tv
GO

--

Verify Data

--

SELECT * FROM Mytable
GO

OUTPUT

Id          Vals
----------- ----------
1           Pawan

(1 row affected)


--

Notes/Limitations

1. You cannot return data in a table-valued parameter. Table-valued parameters are input-only; the OUTPUT keyword is not supported.

2. You cannot pass table-valued parameters to CLR user-defined functions.

3. Table-valued parameters can only be indexed to support UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraints.

4. SQL Server does not maintain statistics on table-valued parameters.

5. Table-valued parameters are read-only in Transact-SQL code. You cannot update the column values in the rows of a table-valued parameter and you cannot insert or delete rows.

6. If you still want to modify the data that is passed to a stored procedure or parameterized statement in table-valued parameter, you must insert the data into a temporary table or into a table variable.

7. You cannot use ALTER TABLE statements to modify the design of table-valued parameters.

SQL PUZZLE | How to FIX ” Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 13 Invalid column name ‘Id1’. ” Puzzle | SQL INTERVIEW QUESTION

In this puzzle you have to modify the query to handle the invalid column name. If we provide the proper column data then the query should return the proper data. If we provide the incorrect column name then the query should not fail.

Sample Data with QUERY

--

CREATE TABLE Ex
(
	Id INT 
)
GO

INSERT INTO EX VALUES ( 1 ) , ( 2 )
GO

--Query 1
SELECT Id FROM Ex

--Query 2
SELECT Id1 FROM Ex

--

Solutions 🙂

SOLUTION 1 – CASE WHEN Column Name is INCORRECT

--

SELECT p.Id1 Id 
FROM (SELECT NULL as Id1) x CROSS APPLY (SELECT Id1 FROM Ex) p
WHERE p.Id1 IS NOT NULL

--

OUTPUT 1

--

Id
-----------

(0 rows affected)

--

SOLUTION 1 – CASE WHEN Column Name is CORRECT

--

SELECT p.* 
FROM (SELECT NULL as Id) x CROSS APPLY (SELECT Id FROM Ex) p
WHERE p.Id IS NOT NULL


--

OUTPUT 2

--

Id
-----------
1
2

(2 rows affected)

--

Notes – I am not very sure where we need to use this. But if required we can use this simple trick.
