I have a stored procedure that runs as a step in a scheduled job. For
some reason the job does not seem to finish when ran from the job but
does fine when run from a window in SQL Query.
I know the job is not working because the number of rows that are
inserted into the table (see code) is considerably less than the manual
runnning of it.
I have included the code for the stored procedure, the output from the
job, and the output from the manual run.
I know somebody will probably ask WHY I am using a cursor. We have no
control over the possibility of having a PK conflict since the data
comes from outside sources. If I do it as just a INSERT INTO..SELECT
than nothing goes in when I have a violation. As a business rule we
would rather have MOST of the data inserted into the historical tables
with a log of the ones that did not make it. We can then go back and
deal with the ones that did not go in.
Of course, if there is a better way I would love to hear it...

So write it as:
INSERT tbl (keycol, ...)
SELECT keycol, ...
FROM src
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE tbl.keycol = src.keycol)
A SELECT ... WHERE EXISTS before that can be good to list the duplicates
if you like.

I thought about that but I have several problems with it.
1) First and foremost is that I need to log any row that does not get
inserted into historical table. That way I can go and manually deal
with those rows (find out what the conflict was, fix it, and then
insert them).
I guess I could do a COUNT(*) with a HAVING > 1 statement but that
would catch any conflicts from the current normalized view. I would
have do it twice - once to compare the view to the historical table
and once to compare it to itself. Then log any results I get.
2) That would only deal with FK violations but it not with any other
issues. As an example would be a column in the normalized view that is
null but should not be. I do my best to clean up the data in the
normalized view but I cannot control the data that is given to me. For
the historical table I did identify and mark those columns that cannot
have nulls.
3) This solution does not really deal with my underlying problem. Is
it a common (or maybe uncommon but something I need to watch out for)
issue that a particular stored procedure could not work (or at least
different results) in a scheduled job (SQLs scheduler) compare to
within a SQL Query window?
