I have a SQL function that is used to return a single value in another view, this function takes well over 30 seconds sometimes on larger databases, I think it might be running over and over?
Honestly I'm just losing my mind at this point and need the help. Does anyone know the best way to optimize this?
The T-SQL function looks like this:
IF OBJECT_ID('Base.fn_AssetPriority') IS NOT NULL
DROP FUNCTION Base.fn_AssetPriority
GO
CREATE FUNCTION Base.fn_AssetPriority
(#LID BIGINT)
RETURNS NVARCHAR(20)
WITH EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #Priority NVARCHAR(20)
DECLARE #RGID BIGINT
DECLARE #CP TABLE
(
ConsequenceAssessmentID BIGINT,
[Sign] VARCHAR(2),
Score DECIMAL(18,2),
AssetPriority CHAR(1),
ConsNo INT
)
SET #Priority = 'Not Allocated'
INSERT INTO #CP
SELECT
ConsequenceAssessmentID, [Sign], Score, AssetPriority, ConsNo
FROM
Base.ConsequencePriority
ORDER BY
ConsNo DESC
SELECT #RGID = MAX(ID)
FROM ACA.ReviewGroup
WHILE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #CP)
BEGIN
DECLARE #CAID BIGINT
DECLARE #ConsNo INT
DECLARE #Sign VARCHAR(2)
DECLARE #Score DECIMAL(18,2)
DECLARE #AP CHAR(1)
SELECT TOP 1
#CAID = ConsequenceAssessmentID,
#ConsNo = ConsNo,
#Sign = [Sign],
#Score = Score,
#AP = AssetPriority
FROM
#CP
ORDER BY
ConsNo DESC
IF #Sign = '='
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM ACA.ConsequenceAssessment
WHERE LID = #LID AND RGID = #RGID
AND BaseCAID = #CAID AND Score = #Score)
BEGIN
SET #Priority = #AP
BREAK
END
END
ELSE BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM ACA.ConsequenceAssessment
WHERE LID = #LID AND RGID = #RGID
AND BaseCAID = #CAID AND Score >= #Score)
BEGIN
SET #Priority = #AP
BREAK
END
END
DELETE FROM #CP
WHERE ConsequenceAssessmentID = #CAID
AND ConsNo = #ConsNo
END
RETURN #Priority
END
There is another view that calls this as a field:
Base.fn_AssetPriority(BaseAS.ID) AS AssetPriority,
How on Earth do I optimize this? or get it to run a bit quicker?
It's possible the execution plan for your stored function is stale.
Try doing this and rerunning it.
EXEC sp_recompile N'Base.fn_AssetPriority';
If it gets faster you may want to run that recompile every so often. Maybe use a job to recompile it every day.
You probably don't want to put WITH RECOMPILE in the function's definition, because you use it a lot and the reason for recompilation is changing statistics in the tables it queries.
I have the below pseudo code written that I want to implement in T-SQL. I need this code included in an existing stored procedure, I was trying to achieve the below with function call passing in a temp table as a parameter, is it possible to pass a temp table as a function parameter. Please let me know if there is a better approach to this.
Table: #Temp_Table has a column RefId which refers to #TempReadUpdateValue.Id. There are rules to identify if the #TempReadUpdateValue.Id can be applied to #Temp_Table.RefId.
Rule 1: the data qualifies in the DateRange
Rule 2: the #TempReadUpdateValue.Id is available if (Allowed - Used) > 0.
Allowed is fixed value and used will increment as its assigned.
I want to achieve the above with an UPDATE statement on Temp_Table, the challenge that I face is #Temp_Table.RefId = #TempReadUpdateValue.Id, need to increment
#TempReadUpdateValue.Used = #TempReadUpdateValue.Used + #Temp_Table.Units
every next row in #Temp_Table need to re-evaluate rules #1 and #2 for RefId assignment.
Update statement:
DECLARE #OLD INT = 0; -- THIS CAN ALSO BE SET TO 1, basically passed in as param to the stored procedure.
CREATE TABLE #TempReadUpdateValue
(
Id INT,
From_Date DateTime,
Thru_Date DateTime,
Allowed int,
Used int
)
CREATE TABLE #Temp_Table
(
Pk_ID INT,
DOS DateTime,
Units Int,
Ref_Id int
)
UPDATE #Temp_Table
SET Ref_Id = CASE
WHEN #OLD = 0 THEN 121
ELSE NewImplementation(DOS, Units, #TempReadUpdateValue)
END
CREATE OR ALTER FUNCTION NewImplementation
(#DOS DATETIME, #Units INT, #TempReadUpdateValue)
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #Id INT
DECLARE #Allowed INT
DECLARE #Used INT
SELECT
#Id = Id,
#Allowed = Allowed,
#Used = Used
FROM
#TempReadUpdateValue
DECLARE #ReturnValue INT = 0
IF (#Id > 0) AND (#Allowed - #Used ) > 0
BEGIN
#ReturnValue = #Id;
UPDATE #TempReadUpdateValue
SET Used = (Used + #Units);
END
RETURN #ReturnValue
END
How can one call a stored procedure for each row in a table, where the columns of a row are input parameters to the sp without using a Cursor?
Generally speaking I always look for a set based approach (sometimes at the expense of changing the schema).
However, this snippet does have its place..
-- Declare & init (2008 syntax)
DECLARE #CustomerID INT = 0
-- Iterate over all customers
WHILE (1 = 1)
BEGIN
-- Get next customerId
SELECT TOP 1 #CustomerID = CustomerID
FROM Sales.Customer
WHERE CustomerID > #CustomerId
ORDER BY CustomerID
-- Exit loop if no more customers
IF ##ROWCOUNT = 0 BREAK;
-- call your sproc
EXEC dbo.YOURSPROC #CustomerId
END
You could do something like this: order your table by e.g. CustomerID (using the AdventureWorks Sales.Customer sample table), and iterate over those customers using a WHILE loop:
-- define the last customer ID handled
DECLARE #LastCustomerID INT
SET #LastCustomerID = 0
-- define the customer ID to be handled now
DECLARE #CustomerIDToHandle INT
-- select the next customer to handle
SELECT TOP 1 #CustomerIDToHandle = CustomerID
FROM Sales.Customer
WHERE CustomerID > #LastCustomerID
ORDER BY CustomerID
-- as long as we have customers......
WHILE #CustomerIDToHandle IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
-- call your sproc
-- set the last customer handled to the one we just handled
SET #LastCustomerID = #CustomerIDToHandle
SET #CustomerIDToHandle = NULL
-- select the next customer to handle
SELECT TOP 1 #CustomerIDToHandle = CustomerID
FROM Sales.Customer
WHERE CustomerID > #LastCustomerID
ORDER BY CustomerID
END
That should work with any table as long as you can define some kind of an ORDER BY on some column.
DECLARE #SQL varchar(max)=''
-- MyTable has fields fld1 & fld2
Select #SQL = #SQL + 'exec myproc ' + convert(varchar(10),fld1) + ','
+ convert(varchar(10),fld2) + ';'
From MyTable
EXEC (#SQL)
Ok, so I would never put such code into production, but it does satisfy your requirements.
I'd use the accepted answer, but another possibility is to use a table variable to hold a numbered set of values (in this case just the ID field of a table) and loop through those by Row Number with a JOIN to the table to retrieve whatever you need for the action within the loop.
DECLARE #RowCnt int; SET #RowCnt = 0 -- Loop Counter
-- Use a table variable to hold numbered rows containg MyTable's ID values
DECLARE #tblLoop TABLE (RowNum int IDENTITY (1, 1) Primary key NOT NULL,
ID INT )
INSERT INTO #tblLoop (ID) SELECT ID FROM MyTable
-- Vars to use within the loop
DECLARE #Code NVarChar(10); DECLARE #Name NVarChar(100);
WHILE #RowCnt < (SELECT COUNT(RowNum) FROM #tblLoop)
BEGIN
SET #RowCnt = #RowCnt + 1
-- Do what you want here with the data stored in tblLoop for the given RowNum
SELECT #Code=Code, #Name=LongName
FROM MyTable INNER JOIN #tblLoop tL on MyTable.ID=tL.ID
WHERE tl.RowNum=#RowCnt
PRINT Convert(NVarChar(10),#RowCnt) +' '+ #Code +' '+ #Name
END
Marc's answer is good (I'd comment on it if I could work out how to!)
Just thought I'd point out that it may be better to change the loop so the SELECT only exists once (in a real case where I needed to do this, the SELECT was quite complex, and writing it twice was a risky maintenance issue).
-- define the last customer ID handled
DECLARE #LastCustomerID INT
SET #LastCustomerID = 0
-- define the customer ID to be handled now
DECLARE #CustomerIDToHandle INT
SET #CustomerIDToHandle = 1
-- as long as we have customers......
WHILE #LastCustomerID <> #CustomerIDToHandle
BEGIN
SET #LastCustomerId = #CustomerIDToHandle
-- select the next customer to handle
SELECT TOP 1 #CustomerIDToHandle = CustomerID
FROM Sales.Customer
WHERE CustomerID > #LastCustomerId
ORDER BY CustomerID
IF #CustomerIDToHandle <> #LastCustomerID
BEGIN
-- call your sproc
END
END
If you can turn the stored procedure into a function that returns a table, then you can use cross-apply.
For example, say you have a table of customers, and you want to compute the sum of their orders, you would create a function that took a CustomerID and returned the sum.
And you could do this:
SELECT CustomerID, CustomerSum.Total
FROM Customers
CROSS APPLY ufn_ComputeCustomerTotal(Customers.CustomerID) AS CustomerSum
Where the function would look like:
CREATE FUNCTION ComputeCustomerTotal
(
#CustomerID INT
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
SELECT SUM(CustomerOrder.Amount) AS Total FROM CustomerOrder WHERE CustomerID = #CustomerID
)
Obviously, the example above could be done without a user defined function in a single query.
The drawback is that functions are very limited - many of the features of a stored procedure are not available in a user-defined function, and converting a stored procedure to a function does not always work.
For SQL Server 2005 onwards, you can do this with CROSS APPLY and a table-valued function.
Using CROSS APPLY in SQL Server 2005
Just for clarity, I'm referring to those cases where the stored procedure can be converted into a table valued function.
This is a variation on the answers already provided, but should be better performing because it doesn't require ORDER BY, COUNT or MIN/MAX. The only disadvantage with this approach is that you have to create a temp table to hold all the Ids (the assumption is that you have gaps in your list of CustomerIDs).
That said, I agree with #Mark Powell though that, generally speaking, a set based approach should still be better.
DECLARE #tmp table (Id INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, CustomerID INT NOT NULL)
DECLARE #CustomerId INT
DECLARE #Id INT = 0
INSERT INTO #tmp SELECT CustomerId FROM Sales.Customer
WHILE (1=1)
BEGIN
SELECT #CustomerId = CustomerId, #Id = Id
FROM #tmp
WHERE Id = #Id + 1
IF ##rowcount = 0 BREAK;
-- call your sproc
EXEC dbo.YOURSPROC #CustomerId;
END
This is a variation of n3rds solution above. No sorting by using ORDER BY is needed, as MIN() is used.
Remember that CustomerID (or whatever other numerical column you use for progress) must have a unique constraint. Furthermore, to make it as fast as possible CustomerID must be indexed on.
-- Declare & init
DECLARE #CustomerID INT = (SELECT MIN(CustomerID) FROM Sales.Customer); -- First ID
DECLARE #Data1 VARCHAR(200);
DECLARE #Data2 VARCHAR(200);
-- Iterate over all customers
WHILE #CustomerID IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
-- Get data based on ID
SELECT #Data1 = Data1, #Data2 = Data2
FROM Sales.Customer
WHERE [ID] = #CustomerID ;
-- call your sproc
EXEC dbo.YOURSPROC #Data1, #Data2
-- Get next customerId
SELECT #CustomerID = MIN(CustomerID)
FROM Sales.Customer
WHERE CustomerID > #CustomerId
END
I use this approach on some varchars I need to look over, by putting them in a temporary table first, to give them an ID.
If you don't what to use a cursor I think you'll have to do it externally (get the table, and then run for each statement and each time call the sp)
it Is the same as using a cursor, but only outside SQL.
Why won't you use a cursor ?
I usually do it this way when it's a quite a few rows:
Select all sproc parameters in a dataset with SQL Management Studio
Right-click -> Copy
Paste in to excel
Create single-row sql statements with a formula like '="EXEC schema.mysproc #param=" & A2' in a new excel column. (Where A2 is your excel column containing the parameter)
Copy the list of excel statements into a new query in SQL Management Studio and execute.
Done.
(On larger datasets i'd use one of the solutions mentioned above though).
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE setFakeUsers (OUT output VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
-- define the last customer ID handled
DECLARE LastGameID INT;
DECLARE CurrentGameID INT;
DECLARE userID INT;
SET #LastGameID = 0;
-- define the customer ID to be handled now
SET #userID = 0;
-- select the next game to handle
SELECT #CurrentGameID = id
FROM online_games
WHERE id > LastGameID
ORDER BY id LIMIT 0,1;
-- as long as we have customers......
WHILE (#CurrentGameID IS NOT NULL)
DO
-- call your sproc
-- set the last customer handled to the one we just handled
SET #LastGameID = #CurrentGameID;
SET #CurrentGameID = NULL;
-- select the random bot
SELECT #userID = userID
FROM users
WHERE FIND_IN_SET('bot',baseInfo)
ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0,1;
-- update the game
UPDATE online_games SET userID = #userID WHERE id = #CurrentGameID;
-- select the next game to handle
SELECT #CurrentGameID = id
FROM online_games
WHERE id > LastGameID
ORDER BY id LIMIT 0,1;
END WHILE;
SET output = "done";
END;//
CALL setFakeUsers(#status);
SELECT #status;
A better solution for this is to
Copy/past code of Stored Procedure
Join that code with the table for which you want to run it again (for each row)
This was you get a clean table-formatted output. While if you run SP for every row, you get a separate query result for each iteration which is ugly.
In case the order is important
--declare counter
DECLARE #CurrentRowNum BIGINT = 0;
--Iterate over all rows in [DataTable]
WHILE (1 = 1)
BEGIN
--Get next row by number of row
SELECT TOP 1 #CurrentRowNum = extendedData.RowNum
--here also you can store another values
--for following usage
--#MyVariable = extendedData.Value
FROM (
SELECT
data.*
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) RowNum
FROM [DataTable] data
) extendedData
WHERE extendedData.RowNum > #CurrentRowNum
ORDER BY extendedData.RowNum
--Exit loop if no more rows
IF ##ROWCOUNT = 0 BREAK;
--call your sproc
--EXEC dbo.YOURSPROC #MyVariable
END
I had some production code that could only handle 20 employees at a time, below is the framework for the code. I just copied the production code and removed stuff below.
ALTER procedure GetEmployees
#ClientId varchar(50)
as
begin
declare #EEList table (employeeId varchar(50));
declare #EE20 table (employeeId varchar(50));
insert into #EEList select employeeId from Employee where (ClientId = #ClientId);
-- Do 20 at a time
while (select count(*) from #EEList) > 0
BEGIN
insert into #EE20 select top 20 employeeId from #EEList;
-- Call sp here
delete #EEList where employeeId in (select employeeId from #EE20)
delete #EE20;
END;
RETURN
end
I had a situation where I needed to perform a series of operations on a result set (table). The operations are all set operations, so its not an issue, but...
I needed to do this in multiple places. So putting the relevant pieces in a table type, then populating a table variable w/ each result set allows me to call the sp and repeat the operations each time i need to .
While this does not address the exact question he asks, it does address how to perform an operation on all rows of a table without using a cursor.
#Johannes offers no insight into his motivation , so this may or may not help him.
my research led me to this well written article which served as a basis for my solution
https://codingsight.com/passing-data-table-as-parameter-to-stored-procedures/
Here is the setup
drop type if exists cpRootMapType
go
create type cpRootMapType as Table(
RootId1 int
, RootId2 int
)
go
drop procedure if exists spMapRoot2toRoot1
go
create procedure spMapRoot2toRoot1
(
#map cpRootMapType Readonly
)
as
update linkTable set root = root1
from linktable lt
join #map m on lt.root = root2
update comments set root = root1
from comments c
join #map m on c.root = root2
-- ever growing list of places this map would need to be applied....
-- now consolidated into one place
here is the implementation
... populate #matches
declare #map cpRootMapType
insert #map select rootid1, rootid2 from #matches
exec spMapRoot2toRoot1 #map
I like to do something similar to this (though it is still very similar to using a cursor)
[code]
-- Table variable to hold list of things that need looping
DECLARE #holdStuff TABLE (
id INT IDENTITY(1,1) ,
isIterated BIT DEFAULT 0 ,
someInt INT ,
someBool BIT ,
otherStuff VARCHAR(200)
)
-- Populate your #holdStuff with... stuff
INSERT INTO #holdStuff (
someInt ,
someBool ,
otherStuff
)
SELECT
1 , -- someInt - int
1 , -- someBool - bit
'I like turtles' -- otherStuff - varchar(200)
UNION ALL
SELECT
42 , -- someInt - int
0 , -- someBool - bit
'something profound' -- otherStuff - varchar(200)
-- Loop tracking variables
DECLARE #tableCount INT
SET #tableCount = (SELECT COUNT(1) FROM [#holdStuff])
DECLARE #loopCount INT
SET #loopCount = 1
-- While loop variables
DECLARE #id INT
DECLARE #someInt INT
DECLARE #someBool BIT
DECLARE #otherStuff VARCHAR(200)
-- Loop through item in #holdStuff
WHILE (#loopCount <= #tableCount)
BEGIN
-- Increment the loopCount variable
SET #loopCount = #loopCount + 1
-- Grab the top unprocessed record
SELECT TOP 1
#id = id ,
#someInt = someInt ,
#someBool = someBool ,
#otherStuff = otherStuff
FROM #holdStuff
WHERE isIterated = 0
-- Update the grabbed record to be iterated
UPDATE #holdAccounts
SET isIterated = 1
WHERE id = #id
-- Execute your stored procedure
EXEC someRandomSp #someInt, #someBool, #otherStuff
END
[/code]
Note that you don't need the identity or the isIterated column on your temp/variable table, i just prefer to do it this way so i don't have to delete the top record from the collection as i iterate through the loop.
I have the following T-SQL code that is either adding or updating 1 record at a time to a temp table. Does anyone have any suggestions to speed this process up?
DECLARE #Total AS INT
SELECT #Total = count(AgentsID) from #TempAgentsConcat
DECLARE #counter AS INT
SET #counter = 1
DECLARE #CurrentVal AS NVARCHAR(1024)
DECLARE #RowCount AS INT
DECLARE #OBJ_ID AS INT
while (#counter <= #Total)
begin
SELECT #OBJ_ID = Id FROM #TempAgentsConcat WHERE AgentsId = #counter
SELECT #CurrentVal = SVRMachine FROM #TempAgentsConcat WHERE ID = #OBJ_ID
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM #TempEndpoints WHERE ID = #OBJ_ID)
BEGIN
UPDATE #TempEndpoints SET SVRMachine = #CurrentVal WHERE ID = #OBJ_ID
END
ELSE
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #TempEndpoints (SVRMachine, IPPort, ID)
VALUES (#CurrentVal, NULL, #OBJ_ID)
END
--END
SET #counter = #counter + 1
end
It looks like, you are trying to merge one table into other. First lets talk of couple of issues in your query-
1. Avoid using loops unless it's extremely necessary.
2. You are assigning two different variables by reading same row in 2 queries.
You can do this in single query like
SELECT #OBJ_ID = Id,#CurrentVal = SVRMachine FROM #TempAgentsConcat WHERE AgentsId = #counter
instead of 2 queries
SELECT #OBJ_ID = Id FROM #TempAgentsConcat WHERE AgentsId = #counter
SELECT #CurrentVal = SVRMachine FROM #TempAgentsConcat WHERE ID = #OBJ_ID
Let's rewrite the query without using loops. The answer by #Cetin is one of the solutions. Your requirement looks classic example of merging tables, so you may use SQL MERGE (SQL server 2008 and above). You can read more about MERGE, here, checkout the example 'C'.
Using MERGE, your query will look like below.
MERGE INTO #TempEndpoints AS Target
USING (SELECT SVRMachine , Id from #TempAgentsConcat)
AS Source (SVRMachine, ID)
ON Target.ID = Source.ID
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET SVRMachine = Source.SVRMachine
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN
INSERT (ID, IPPort, SVRMachine) VALUES (Id, NULL,SVRMachine)
Why would you use a lot of variables and loop. SQL server (any SQL series database as well) works best with sets, rather than loops:
UPDATE #TempEndpoints
SET SVRMachine = ac.SVRMachine
FROM #TempAgentsConcat ac
WHERE #TempEndpoints.Id = ac.ID;
INSERT INTO #TempEndpoints
(
SVRMachine,
ID
)
SELECT SVRMachine,
ID
FROM #TempAgentsConcat ac
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT * FROM #TempEndpoints ep WHERE ep.ID = ac.ID
);
I would like to create a view at the end of the following request.
I know that 'create view' must be the first statement in a query batch. My problem is that for this query i must use a variable (#listOfIDRUB).
This variable is only fill correctly at the end of my little script.
I also have tried to create the view before my first declaration but it created a problem with "DECLARE".
So is it possible to create a view easily from the result of my script or i have to do something else ?
DECLARE #CounterResId int;
DECLARE #lePath varchar(255);
DECLARE #listOfIDRUB TABLE (EXTERNALREFERENCE uniqueidentifier, ID varchar(255), DOCID varchar(255) );
DECLARE #Max int;
SET #lePath = '';
SET #CounterResId = 1;
SET #Max = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SYNTHETIC..EXTRANET_PURGE WHERE TYPE_SUPPR = 'ResId')
WHILE (#CounterResId <= #Max )
BEGIN;
set #lePath =
(select tmp.lePath from
(
select row_number() over(order by path)as NumLigne, CONCAT(path, '%' ) as lePath from RUBRIQUE
WHERE MODELE = 'CAEEE64D-2B00-44EF-AA11-6B72ABD9FE38'
and CODE in (SELECT ID FROM SYNTHETIC..EXTRANET_PURGE where TYPE_SUPPR='ResId')
) tmp
WHERE tmp.NumLigne = #CounterResId)
INSERT INTO #listOfIDRUB(EXTERNALREFERENCE, ID, DOCID)
SELECT SEC.EXTERNALREFERENCE , SEC.ID, SEC.DOCUMENTID
FROM WEBACCESS_FRONT..SECTIONS sec
inner join rubrique rub ON rub.ID_RUBRIQUE = sec.EXTERNALREFERENCE
inner join template_tree_item tti ON tti.id_template_tree_item = rub.modele
inner join template t ON t.id_template = tti.template
WHERE t.CODE IN (SELECT TEMPLATE_CODE from SYNTHETIC..EasyFlowEngineListTemplateCode)
and rub.path like #lePath
print #CounterResId;
print #lePath;
set #CounterResId = #CounterResId + 1;
END;
select * from #listOfIDRUB;
Instead of select * from #listOfIDRUB
i wanted create view test as select * from listOfIDRUB
I have also tried create view test as (all my request)
Whenever you ask something about SQL please state your RDBMS (product and version). The answers are highly depending on this...
From your code I assume this is SQL Server.
So to your question: No, a VIEW must be "inlineable" (single-statement or "ad-hoc") statement.
You might think about a multi-statement UDF, but this is in almost all cases a bad thing (bad performance). Only go this way, if your result table will consist of rather few rows!
Without knowing your tables this is rather blind walking, but you might try this (add parameters, if you can transfer external operations (e.g. filtering) into the function):
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.MyFunction()
RETURNS #listOfIDRUB TABLE (EXTERNALREFERENCE uniqueidentifier, ID varchar(255), DOCID varchar(255) )
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #CounterResId int;
DECLARE #lePath varchar(255);
DECLARE #Max int;
SET #lePath = '';
SET #CounterResId = 1;
SET #Max = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM SYNTHETIC..EXTRANET_PURGE WHERE TYPE_SUPPR = 'ResId')
WHILE (#CounterResId <= #Max )
BEGIN;
set #lePath =
(select tmp.lePath from
(
select row_number() over(order by path)as NumLigne, CONCAT(path, '%' ) as lePath from RUBRIQUE
WHERE MODELE = 'CAEEE64D-2B00-44EF-AA11-6B72ABD9FE38'
and CODE in (SELECT ID FROM SYNTHETIC..EXTRANET_PURGE where TYPE_SUPPR='ResId')
) tmp
WHERE tmp.NumLigne = #CounterResId)
INSERT INTO #listOfIDRUB(EXTERNALREFERENCE, ID, DOCID)
SELECT SEC.EXTERNALREFERENCE , SEC.ID, SEC.DOCUMENTID
FROM WEBACCESS_FRONT..SECTIONS sec
inner join rubrique rub ON rub.ID_RUBRIQUE = sec.EXTERNALREFERENCE
inner join template_tree_item tti ON tti.id_template_tree_item = rub.modele
inner join template t ON t.id_template = tti.template
WHERE t.CODE IN (SELECT TEMPLATE_CODE from SYNTHETIC..EasyFlowEngineListTemplateCode)
and rub.path like #lePath
--print #CounterResId;
--print #lePath;
set #CounterResId = #CounterResId + 1;
END;
RETURN;
END
You can call it like this (very similar to a VIEW)
SELECT * FROM dbo.MyFunction();
And you might even use it in joins...
And last but not least I'm quite sure, that one could solve this without declares and a loop too...
