[...] SSMS Query Command(s) completed successfully without ANY Results Has it ever happened to you when you attempt to run a query and the query runs successfully but displays no result. Well, it happened to my friend that every single time when he ran query – he was getting answers that the command completed successfully but he did not get any results. When he attempted to do this from another machine, it worked all fine. After a few diagnosis we found the reason for the problem. I suggest you read the blog post for the interesting story! [...]

I got this Query Command(s) completed successfully without any result in Store Proc. Tried to use SET PARSEONLY OFF in SP but got the error:

Cannot set or reset the ‘parseonly’ option within a procedure or function.

Is there anyway to fix that? Thank you.

how to see every employee with his manager

I do fear this is not working for me. I have done what you said about unchecking the set parseonly option, but alas, it was unchecked from the beginning. In my case I want to see the results of several select statements like that

select @id_ass,@id_compte,@compte,’TEXT’,ROUND(@haver,2)-ROUND(@debe,2),0

which are inside a FETCH NEXT FROM CURSOR loop. First time I run the query it worked just fine, but subsequents executions (in the same window or in others) only show the command(s) executed succesfully message that we all already know.

Any suggestion of what am I missing? Thank you in advance, and also thank you for the help you provide for all of us, newbie programmers.

In SQL 2008 SSMS query window I save my results to file. In SQL 2000 QA I would get the message: The following file has been saved successfully:

But, I dont get that message in SQL 08 even though the file did successfully save? Does anyone know why? thanks

ramkoti,

It doesn’t matter the ordinal position of the column.You can use it in the preferred position in SELECT statement

Giammarco Schisani,

It can be used if you just want to make sure that the query is correct without actually executing it

By: Marko Parkkola

Marko Parkkola — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:12:51 +0000

Well, yes and no.

You can’t directly add column between two columns. You can alter table and create a new column but it goes last to the columns list. You could now go and mess up with the system tables to set your column order but it is not a good idea.

Other way, which SSMS uses I think, is to create a new table (with some temporary name) with all the columns in the old table plus the new column in the correct place. Then insert all the rows in the old table into the new table, drop the old table and rename the new table.

Never heard of this option. Not sure how you figured out that “PARSE ONLY” was the problem!

As suggested by Ramdas, I really wonder when this option would be useful.

By: Ramdas

Ramdas — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:01:16 +0000

Hi Pinal,
Thank you for bringing out the option PARSE ONLY, I can see how it can be frustrating to the developer if he was not aware of this option.
I would like to ask one question though: When would be a situation where one would actually need this option to be turned on in the settings…

You are the best.
I mean this is just a simple thing and nobody in SQL Community have courage to take it to front and post because they thought it is a very small thing, but nobody thinks about the freshers like us who really want to learn through scratch.
Many thanks to you for what ever you doing to Indian SQl Community.
Thanks

Hi Marko,

This are very helpful shortcuts.

Yeah the story was funny but I was glad after the problem was solved (which took less than 2 mins at whole) we talked for half an hour! As I said, he just wanted to find excuse to call me 3 AM midnight India time.

Thank you again!

Kind Regards,
Pinal

That sure was funny :)

Here’s couple of shortcuts if someone doesn’t know this already.

F5 = run query
CTRL+F5 = parse only
CTRL+L = execution plan

In case your CTRL button isn’t functioning properly I suggest you use mouse when using parse only. I had to learn this the hard way ;)
