Question

Following SQL get what I need:

 SELECT TOP (50) [nodeId] 
 FROM [dbo].[cmsContentXml] 
 WHERE [xml] like '%creatorID="29"%'    
   AND [xml] like '%nodeType="1086"%' 
 ORDER BY [nodeId] DESC

I need to pass in the numbers as parameters, so I have follows:

exec sp_executesql N'SELECT TOP (@max) [nodeId] FROM [dbo].[cmsContentXml] WHERE [xml] like ''%creatorID="@creatorID"%''    AND [xml] like ''%nodeType="@nodeType"%'' ORDER BY [nodeId] DESC',N'@max int,@creatorID int,@nodeType int',@max=50,@creatorID=29,@nodeType=1086

which however, returns no record, any idea?

Answer 1

Try amending your SQL statement so that you are building the statement by adding the parameters as you are sending them as part of the statement e.g.

'SELECT TOP ' + @max + ' [nodeId] '.....
