IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [Header$] WHERE [Project#] IS NOT NULL) > 0

THEN

RAISERROR(.......)

i need to know what is the syntax for RAISE ERROR

David McFarland SSChampion Points: 11815 More actions · Answer 3

The syntax is in BOL under the keyword RAISERROR. Note that it's one word, and that it's technically missing an "e", but that's where it's located.

Show us the code you have so far, and we can figure out what's wrong with it.

IF

(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [Header$] WHERE [Project#] IS NOT NULL) > 0

THEN

RAISERROR

('Hi there, I ' ' an error',1,1)

end

SQL Server doesn't use IF/THEN syntax, it's just an IF (using begin/end for blocks of statements). Your "end" needs a matching "begin" as well. What is the space surrounded by single quotes in the middle of your error string supposed to do? It just breaks up the string into two pieces, thus causing a syntax error.

SELECT

*

FROM

[Header$]

WHERE

[Project #] IS NOT NULL

IF

@@ERROR = 0

RAISERROR

('Please enter.',1,1)

IS THAT FINE YOU THINK OR IT STILL HAS PROBLEM

David McFarland SSChampion Points: 11815 More actions · Answer 9

Now I'm totally lost. Why did you add the @@ERROR, and why does your message now say "Please enter", and why do I feel like this is homework?

Based on my reading of your original question, using your code prior to this latest post and fixing the issues I noted, will do what you want. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish with this latest bit of code.

LET ME TELL YOU THE EXACT SITUATION

iam using SSIS.I have created a package which gets data from excel and import into sql server database.

now what is happening is i use the following sql command to get the data at the source level from excel

select *

from [Header$]

now iam trying to USE RAISERROR in case the column [Project #] is not null in the sql command.The column [Project #] is one of the column in my excel sheet [Table-Header$]

Why do you want to raise an error if there is a value in the column? If you don't want that value, just don't bring it across. What are the exact conditions that would need to be met for your transfer to be considered successful?
