Hi everyone,

I'm new to SQL, and need help with the following problem:

'Create a stored procedure, name employee salary, that will receive two parameters, the employee's id (eid) and the salary increase (incSal). The procedure will then increment the salary by the amount of incSal. The procedure will then print the employee id, name, address and the new salary.'

I don't ask for answers to homework, but today, I'm desparate. I would have asked for help earlier but for my final exam and project for this class. This homework is due later on in the evening.
PLEASE HELP

any attempt from your side

CREATE PROC INCSAL
STORED PROCEDURE
@EMPLOYEE ID nvarchar(20),
@INCREASE SALARY int
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO SALARY (EMP_ ID, INC_SAL)
VALUES (@EMPLOYEE ID,@INCREASE SALARY)
PRINT "EMP_ ID", ;
PRINT "EMP_ NAME" ;
PRINT "ADDRESS";
PRINT "NEW SALARY"



END
STORED PROCEDURE AS

see if this works
---------------------
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE name_employee_salary (
p_Eid IN NUMBER,
p_IncSal IN NUMBER ) AS

v_Eid employee.employee_id%TYPE;
v_Ename employee.employee_name%TYPE;
v_Eaddress employee.employee_address%TYPE;
v_Esalary employee.employee_salary%TYPE;

BEGIN

UPDATE employee
SET salary=salary + p_IncSal
WHERE employee_id = p_Eid
COMMIT;


SELECT employee_id, employee_name, employee_address, employee_salary
INTO v_Eid, v_Ename, v_Eaddress, v_Esalary
FROM employee
WHERE employee_id=p_Eid;

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('employee Id : ' || TO_CHAR(v_Eid) );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('employee Name : ' || v_Ename );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('employee Address : ' || v_Eaddress );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('employee New Salary: ' || TO_CHAR(v_Esalary) );

END;

This is far better than what I had. I'm tweaking it in SQL now. Thanks a bunch.

My professor didn't show us this:

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('employee Id : ' || TO_CHAR(v_Eid) );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('employee Name : ' || v_Ename );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('employee Address : ' || v_Eaddress );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('employee New Salary: ' || TO_CHAR

Rather, he wants us to use the PRINT function:

I think this is how it must look:

PRINT ("Employee Name", Name)
PRINT ("Employee Salary", Salary)
PRINT ("Employee ID", EID)

I don't even know if I have the code right, but thanks again.

what sql you are using, i gave you pl/sql verison.

PRINT looks ok to me.
if doesn't works then try
PRINT "Employee ID" + EID

good luck

I'm using Microsoft SQL Server 2000, but the cd also includes IBM DB2, and MySQL

i am not familiar with sql server but can take a look at errors you getting

This is the code I have so far:

CREATE PROCEDURE name_employee_salary (
@p_Eid ncvarchar(20),
@p_IncSal
AS
BEGIN

UPDATE employee
SET salary=salary + p_IncSal
WHERE employee_id = p_Eid
COMMIT;


SELECT employee_id, employee_name, employee_salary
FROM employee
WHERE employee_id=p_Eid;

PRINT Employee_name
PRINT Employee_salary
PRINT EID

END

Here's the error message.

Error 156: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'BEGIN'.
The name 'Employee_name' is not permitted in this context. Only constants, expressions, or variables allowed here. Columns names are not permitted.

The error said the same thing about Employee_salary, and EID
(I won't waste your time writing out the whole thing.)

1) it might not require BEGIN and/or END which aer reserve word used in pl/sql.

2) replace employee_id, employee_name, employee_salary by
actual field of your employee table.

post your question to SQL/SEVER forum
which is http://www.dbforums.com/f7/

good luck

Don't you need to close the parentesis after @p_IncSal?:

CREATE PROCEDURE name_employee_salary (
@p_Eid ncvarchar(20),
@p_IncSal )
....


PS: I neither have any clue about MS SQL...
Good luck.

Thanks a lot for your help. I got the work finished on time.
