stored proc - executing a query with NOT IN where clause

Question

i have a stored procedure

Create PROCEDURE abc      
  @sRemovePreviouslySelectedWhereClause nvarchar(max)
AS
BEGIN

SELECT * 
      FROM table 
     WHERE nId          


        

Answer 1

You have to split the @sRemovePreviouslySelectedWhereClause parameter by ',' and place the resulting values in a temp table. Then your select would look like

select * from table where nId not in (select nId from #tempIds)

Answer 2

This approach you're trying doesn't work. But if you're on SQL Server 2008, you could make use of the new features called Table Valued Parameters.

Basically, you create a user-defined table type

CREATE TYPE dbo.nIdTable AS TABLE(nID INT)

and you can then pass in multiple values in that TVP from the outside (e.g. from ADO.NET or such):

CREATE PROCEDURE abc(@idValues dbo.nIdTable READONLY)

and use that table variable inside your stored proc:

SELECT * 
FROM table 
WHERE nId NOT IN (SELECT nID FROM @idValues)

Answer 3

First, create a split function which splits your delimited string into a table:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Split]
(   
 @String varchar(max)
,@Delimiter char
)
RETURNS @Results table
(
 Ordinal int
,StringValue varchar(max)
)
as
begin

    set @String = isnull(@String,'')
    set @Delimiter = isnull(@Delimiter,'')

    declare
     @TempString varchar(max) = @String
    ,@Ordinal int = 0
    ,@CharIndex int = 0

    set @CharIndex = charindex(@Delimiter, @TempString)
    while @CharIndex != 0 begin     
        set @Ordinal += 1       
        insert @Results values
        (
         @Ordinal
        ,substring(@TempString, 0, @CharIndex)
        )       
        set @TempString = substring(@TempString, @CharIndex + 1, len(@TempString) - @CharIndex)     
        set @CharIndex = charindex(@Delimiter, @TempString)
    end

    if @TempString != '' begin
        set @Ordinal += 1 
        insert @Results values
        (
         @Ordinal
        ,@TempString
        )
    end

    return
end

Then change your where clause as follows:

select
 t.*
from [yourTable] t
where t.[ID] not in (select cast([StringValue] as int) from dbo.Split(@sRemovePreviouslySelectedWhereClause,','))

Answer 4

You will need to use Dynamic sql for such kind of queries.

first construct the query and

SET @sql = 'select * from table 
where nId not in (' + @sRemovePreviouslySelectedWhereClause+ ')'

then use EXEC(@sql) to run the query.

Answer 5

Create FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_Split] (  
@List nvarchar(2000),   @SplitOn nvarchar(5)
 )   
RETURNS @RtnValue table  ( 
    Value nvarchar(100) ) 
 AS   
BEGIN 
While (Charindex(@SplitOn,@List)>0) 
Begin  
Insert Into @RtnValue (value)
 Select    Value = ltrim(rtrim(Substring(@List,1,Charindex(@SplitOn,@List)-1))) 
Set @List = Substring(@List,Charindex(@SplitOn,@List)+len(@SplitOn),len(@List)) 
End  
Insert Into @RtnValue (Value)
    Select Value = ltrim(rtrim(@List))

    Return 
END
