I wanted to create a view using my SQL statement but found out you can't use declare in a view. So I was trying to create a function so my view could just call it
This is the SQL statement
--Declare necessary variables
DECLARE #SQLQuery AS NVARCHAR(255)
DECLARE #Pivot AS NVARCHAR(255)
--Get unique values of pivot column
SELECT #Pivot = COALESCE(#Pivot + ',','') + QUOTENAME(Stage)
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT Stage
FROM [dbo].[F_Work_Order_Summary]) AS Pivot
--Create the dynamic query with all the values for
--pivot column at runtime
SET #SQLQuery = N'SELECT *
FROM [dbo].[F_Work_Order_Summary]
PIVOT(SUM(Time_In_Stage)
FOR Stage IN (' + #Pivot + ')) AS P'
--Execute dynamic query
EXEC sp_executesql #SQLQuery
Was wonder if anyone could help or knows a better way to use this statement with a view.
Thanks

I have a products table and i need to concat my string and my sql statements. Is there any way?
My purpose is that i want to define column names just one time in a string variable and i will use it alot of times. Otherwise my sql statements has alot of column name and it complex my code.
For example, i use this
DECLARE #MyStr NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'ProdId,ProdName'
SELECT TOP 10 #MyStr FROM Products
Result is here
But i need the result as this.
You'll need to use dynamic SQL here. I also suggest you fix your design and don't store delimited data, and ideally use a table type parameter. This would look like the following:
DECLARE #Columns table (ColumnName sysname);
INSERT INTO #Columns (ColumnName)
VALUES(N'Column1'),(N'Column2');
DECLARE #SQL nvarchar(MAX),
#CRLF nchar(2) = NCHAR(13) + NCHAR(10);
SELECT #SQL = N'SELECT ' + STRING_AGG(QUOTENAME(ColumnName),N',') + #CRLF +
N'FROM dbo.Products;'
FROM #Columns;
PRINT #SQL; --Your best friend
EXEC sys.sp_executesql #SQL;
If you don't want to use a table type, you can use STRING_SPLIT:
SELECT #SQL = N'SELECT ' + STRING_AGG(QUOTENAME([Value]),N',') + #CRLF +
N'FROM dbo.Products;'
FROM STRING_SPLIT(#Columns,',');
i want have the layout of pivot table with on top period YYYYMM in dynamic table.
show sum of consumption per month show 1 year.
but when i tried put the data (period (201801,201802...)) don't work with PERIOD table on dynamic ?!!
i don't know if im doing something wrong on the report ...can anyone help withit ?
The query without be in dynamic and work but when I tried to change to dynamic I can't make it work.
DECLARE #ColumnNames NVARCHAR(MAX) = ' '
DECLARE #SQL NVARCHAR (MAX) = ' '
SELECT #ColumnNames += QUOTENAME(Period) + ','
FROM [STOKVIS LIVE].[dbo].[SR_CONS_Consumption1year]
SET #ColumnNames = LEFT (#ColumnNames,LEN(#ColumnNames)-1)
SET #SQL =
SELECT [No_] ,[Group],[Lakeview],[Name],[class.],[Stock], [Period]
FROM [STOKVIS LIVE].[dbo].[SR_CONS_Consumption1year]
PIVOT (
SUM ([Qty])
FOR [Period]
IN( ' + #ColumnNames + ')
)
as pivortable
You are executing 2 queries that require dynamic syntax - I've not tested but I think you could try something like this:
--Declare Variables
DECLARE #ColumnNames NVARCHAR(MAX) = NULL
DECLARE #SQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
-- First dynamic query
SET #SQL = N'
SELECT #ColumnNames += QUOTENAME(Period) + '',''
FROM [STOKVIS LIVE].[dbo].[SR_CONS_Consumption1year] ;';
--Execute dynamic query
EXEC sp_executesql #sql, N'#ColumnNames NVARCHAR(MAX)', #ColumnNames;
SET #ColumnNames = LEFT (#ColumnNames,LEN(#ColumnNames)-1)
--second dynamic query
SET #SQL = N'
SELECT [No_] ,[Group],[Lakeview],[Name],[class.],[Stock], [Period]
FROM [STOKVIS LIVE].[dbo].[SR_CONS_Consumption1year]
PIVOT (
SUM ([Qty])
FOR [Period]
IN( ' + #ColumnNames + ')
)
AS PivotTable ;';
EXEC sp_executesql #sql, N'#ColumnNames NVARCHAR(MAX) OUT', #ColumnNames OUT;
SELECT #TransType
EDIT
Added OUT in the past EXEC to identify they are output variables so you can use SELECT #TransType to get the result
I am getting temp table with dynamically generated columns let say it is columns A,B,C,D etc from other source.
Now in my hand I have temp table with column generated. I had to write stored procedure with the use of temp table.
So my stored procedure is like
create proc someproc()
as
begin
Insert into #searchtable
select isnull(#temp.*,0.00)
End
Now #searchresult is table created by me to store temp table columns. The problem arises when I want to check isnull for #tempdb columns. Because from source it comes it may be 3 columns, again next time it may be 4 columns. It changes.
Since it is dynamically generated I cannot use each column name and use like below:
isnull(column1,0.00)
isnull(column2,0.00)
I had to use all column generated and check if value is empty use 0.00
I tried this below but not working:
isnull(##temp.*,0.00),
Try with Dynamic code by fetching the column name for your dynamic table from [database].NFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
--Get the Column Names for the your dynamic table and add the ISNULL Check:
DECLARE #COLS VARCHAR(MAX) = ''
SELECT #COLS = #COLS + ', ISNULL(' + COLUMN_NAME + ', 0.00) AS ' + COLUMN_NAME
FROM tempdb.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE '#temp[_]%' -- Dynamic Table (here, Temporary table)
DECLARE #COLNAMES VARCHAR(MAX) = STUFF(#COLS, 1, 1, '')
--Build your Insert Command:
DECLARE #cmd VARCHAR(MAX) = '
INSERT INTO #temp1
SELECT ' + #COLNAMES + ' FROM #temp'
--Execute:
EXEC (#cmd)
Hope, I understood your comment right:
CREATE PROCEDURE someproc
AS
IF OBJECT_ID(N'#searchtable') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #searchtable
IF OBJECT_ID(N'#temp') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DECLARE #sql nvarchar(max),
#cols nvarchar(max)
SELECT #cols = (
SELECT ',COALESCE('+QUOTENAME([name])+',0.00) as '+QUOTENAME([name])
FROM sys.columns
WHERE [object_id] = OBJECT_ID(N'#temp')
FOR XML PATH('')
)
SELECT #sql = N'SELECT '+STUFF(#cols,1,1,'')+' INTO #searchtable FROM #temp'
EXEC sp_executesql #sql
END
This SP checks if #temp table exists. If exists then it takes all column names from sys.columns table and we make a string like ,COALESCE([Column1],0.00) as [Column1], etc. Then we make a dynamic SQL query like:
SELECT COALESCE([Column1],0.00) as [Column1] INTO #searchtable FROM #temp
And execute it. This query result will be stored in #searchtable.
Notes: Use COALESCE instead of ISNULL, and sp_executesql instead of direct exec. It is a good practice.
I have one stored procedure. The parameter in the stored procedure is dynamic.
I don't know to declare and use the parameter in code behind(VB.net) of my page.
This is the stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Gdata2]
--#employeeID varchar(10),
--#employeeCostCenterCode varchar(20)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #DynamicPivotQuery AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE #ColumnName AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
--Get distinct values of the PIVOT Column
SELECT #ColumnName= ISNULL(#ColumnName + ',','') + QUOTENAME(Product)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Product FROM V_SBR_Product) AS Products
--Prepare the PIVOT query using the dynamic
SET #DynamicPivotQuery = N'SELECT Quarter, ' + #ColumnName +
'FROM V_SBR_Product ' +
'PIVOT(COUNT(Total) FOR Product IN (' + #ColumnName +
')) AS PVTTable'
--Execute the Dynamic Pivot Query
EXEC sp_executesql #DynamicPivotQuery
END
I have a table which stores a SQL predefined function, like CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), '2012-08-21 00:16:41.993', 101) in a row/column. While retrieving the result from table, it should run the function and give the final outcome as "2012-08-21", instead right now it returns the same function statement. I am running select (select RunDate from RunDate) and using SQL server database.
Kindly help!!
You need to use dynamic SQL for this. You can't just nest expressions and have SQL evaluate the output...
DECLARE #x TABLE(sql NVARCHAR(255));
INSERT #x(sql) SELECT N'CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), ''2012-08-21 00:16:41.993'', 101)';
DECLARE #sql NVARCHAR(MAX);
SELECT #sql = N'SELECT ' + sql FROM #x;
EXEC sp_executesql #sql;
It would look like this (adjust accordingly):
DECLARE #predef VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE #sqlquery VARCHAR(1000);
SELECT #predef = (SELECT top 1 Value FROM Parameters Where Name = 'MYFUNC');
SET #sqlquery = 'select ' + #predef + ' from SomeTable';
EXECUTE ( #sqlquery );
One tip: here be dragons. Beware of SQL Injection.
