I use above code in Qlikview to retrieve the return tables from SQL Server.
However, there are three tables returned from the procedure.
Qlikview shows only one table and its columns.
How to retrieve more than one tables from a procedure?
Thank you very much!
The query results are returned as a multiple result set. The documentation below may help you navigate a multiple result set from Sql server using qlik.

I would like to run a job that automatically snapshots a DB1 (a stored procedure) and merges the result with a table in DB2. Basically I would like to query DB1 from DB2.
What is the best way to do this? They are run on two different SQL Servers in two different resource groups in Azure.
At the moment it won't let me created a linked server - tells me the sp does not exist when I try create it.
You have two databases run on two different SQL Servers in two different resource groups in Azure.
Basically you would like to query DB1 from DB2.
For Azure SQL database, you want to query across different database, you can use Azure SQL Database elastic query.
Summary:
The elastic query feature (in preview) enables you to run a Transact-SQL query that spans multiple databases in Azure SQL Database. It allows you to perform cross-database queries to access remote tables, and to connect Microsoft and third-party tools (Excel, Power BI, Tableau, etc.) to query across data tiers with multiple databases. Using this feature, you can scale out queries to large data tiers in SQL Database and visualize the results in business intelligence (BI) reports.
You can using the bellow code to query from the remote database:
EXEC sp_execute_remote
N'MyExtSrc',
N'select count(w_id) as foo from warehouse'
For more details, please see: Stored procedure for remote T-SQL execution: sp_execute_remote.
You can also reference this blog: Is it Possible to call Functions and Stored Procedures of One database In another database- Azure Sql server.
With elastic query, you can call the stored procedure in DB1, merges the result with a table in DB2
Hope this helps.
I need some help in creating a stored procedure or a dynamic SQL query to query a matrix and have a output in a required format.
Database: SQL Server 2014
States table - screenshot:
Required output
More states will added to the table. So the Script should be able to dynamically get all the rows and columns.
The output is to create a new table.
Thanks in advance.

I have a single SQL query that I need to run against ~25 different databases- each residing on a separate SQL server on the network. The query will run from a single central SQL server management studio, and the 24 other SQL server instances are linked. I have the query I need, and I tested that it works- however the goal is to create a script that queries each of the 25 separate SQL instances.
Instead of writing the query out 25 separate times within the script, I'm wondering if there's a way to utilize the single block of code to query each of the linked instances using an array, variables, DO/WHILE, a function or any other method.
Here's the query:
SET NOCOUNT ON
PRINT 'local server';
SELECT isc.ini_schema_name[Device], count(*) [Count]
FROM pharos.dbo.edi_pharos_stations eps, pharos.dbo.ini_schemas isc
WHERE eps.ini_schema_id = isc.ini_schema_id
GROUP BY isc.ini_schema_id, isc.ini_schema_name
For the purpose of this example, if I were to utilize the less-graceful approach of writing out the block of code 24 more times, this would be the next query in the script (to query SQL server hostnamed pharos90-2008).
PRINT 'Pharos90-2008';
SELECT isc.ini_schema_name[Device], count(*) [Count]
FROM [pharos90-2008].pharos.dbo.edi_pharos_stations eps, [pharos90-2008].pharos.dbo.ini_schemas isc
WHERE eps.ini_schema_id = isc.ini_schema_id
GROUP BY isc.ini_schema_id, isc.ini_schema_name
As you can see, the query / code is exactly the same except for the fact that it is referencing a separate linked SQL Server (query being run from a central SQL Server Management Studio).
The ultimate goal is to output the queried data for each SQL instance to a single .txt file; format being, print the name of each particular SQL server followed by the corresponding queried data.
Any advice as to how one would accomplish such a task?
Thanks in advance.
Well, one way would be to create a cursor to iterate all of your linked servers. (You can find linked servers like this...)
SELECT * FROM sys.servers WHERE is_linked = 1
Then, you could use the undocumented sp_MSForEachDB stored procedure to run a dynamic version of your query (changing the server on each iteration) on each database in the cursor's current server. If you search for sp_MSForEachDB you can find plenty of information. But here's one link to save time.
SO heres what I am trying to do.
I have a table which has 2 columns - QC_Check and Query. For each QC_Check I have a query. There are several records like this.
Is there a way using SQL transformation that, I can fetch the SQL query stored in the Query column to Informatica, run the queries in Teradata and get the results stored somewhere.
Although, I have not tried it myself, this should be possible using SQL transformation in Query mode with Dynamic SQL Queries.
Use the table with Query column as a source. Create a SQL transformation with Query mode. Connect the Query column to the SQL transformation.
Write ~Query_Port~ in the SQL editor in the SQL transformation:
If you want to capture the results from your query, you have to configure output ports for columns you retrieve from the database.
How can I select data in the same query from two different databases that are on two different servers, one DB2 Server and the other a SQL Server?
On your sql server, set up a linked server to the db2 database.
Then write your query on sql server. I suggest that you use openquery for the db2 stuff. If you have to combine the data, populate a sql server temp table with the openquery results and work from there.
The reason I suggest this is performance. I have found that if you use this syntax
select somefields
from server.database.owner.table
where whatever
sql server will bring back the entire table from the linked server and apply the where clause afterwards.
You can set up a linked server http://support.microsoft.com/kb/222937
