Can we create a view after a script from a variable? - sql

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...

Alternative to While Loop In SQL Server stored procedure

I have a stored procedure where a populate a base table with key fields and then loop through that table to get those key fields to requery a source data table to get detailed counts. The issue I am having is that when there are a lot of rows in the base table, the SP takes a long time to run. I've loaded the source data into temp tables and created index's and made the base table a temp table with an index as well.
CREATE TABLE #SupplementalData1
(
ROWID int IDENTITY(1, 1),
LOB varchar(100),
Program varchar(100),
Project varchar(100),
Container varchar(255),
RPTNG_Week date,
Scheduled_Open int,
Still_Open int,
Scheduled_Closed int,
Actual_Closed int
);
CREATE INDEX t1
ON #SupplementalData1 (LOB, Program, Project, Container, RPTNG_Week);
INSERT INTO #SupplementalData1 (LOB, Program, Project, Container, RPTNG_Week)
SELECT DISTINCT
a.LOB_CODE,
a.PRGRM_NAME,
a.PRJCT_NAME,
a.CNTNR_NAME,
b.Monday
FROM
#data a,
Schedule_Date_Lookup b
WHERE
b.Monday >= #MinMonday
AND b.Monday <= #MaxMonday
ORDER BY
a.LOB_CODE,
a.PRGRM_NAME,
a.PRJCT_NAME,
b.Monday;
DELETE FROM #SupplementalData1
WHERE RPTNG_Week > #EndDate;
-- Get the number of rows in the looping table
DECLARE #RowCount int;
SET #RowCount = (SELECT COUNT(ROWID)FROM #SupplementalData1);
-- Declare an iterator
DECLARE #I int;
-- Initialize the iterator
SET #I = 1;
--Declare Common Variables
DECLARE #iLOB varchar(MAX),
#iProgram varchar(MAX),
#iProject varchar(MAX),
#iContainer varchar(MAX),
#iRPTNG_Week date,
#Value int;
-- Loop through the rows of a table #myTable
WHILE (#I <= #RowCount)
BEGIN
-- Declare variables to hold the data which we get after looping each record
-- Get the data from table and set to variables
SELECT #iLOB = LOB,
#iProgram = Program,
#iProject = Project,
#iContainer = Container,
#iRPTNG_Week = RPTNG_Week
FROM #SupplementalData1
WHERE ROWID = #I;
SET #Value = (SELECT COUNT(CNTNR_NAME) AS Scheduled_Open_Sum
FROM #data c
WHERE (c.NEED_DATE >= #iRPTNG_Week)
AND c.LOB_CODE = #iLOB
AND c.PRGRM_NAME = #iProgram
AND c.PRJCT_NAME = #iProject
AND c.CNTNR_NAME = #iContainer);
UPDATE #SupplementalData1
SET Scheduled_Open = #Value
WHERE LOB = #iLOB
AND Program = #iProgram
AND Project = #iProject
AND Container = #iContainer
AND RPTNG_Week = #iRPTNG_Week;
-- -- Increment the iterator
SET #I = #I + 1;
END;
Is there an alternative way that would improve speed?
Without sample data, desired output and your logic the following wasn't tested, but should get you moving in the right direction.
Do away with the entire while statement and go with a set based approach.
Here is the while loop rewritten as a SELECT. I will usually do that first to double check and validate data.
SELECT *
FROM [#SupplementalData1] [supdata]
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT COUNT([CNTNR_NAME]) AS [Scheduled_Open_Sum]
FROM [#data] [c]
WHERE [c].[NEED_DATE] >= [supdata].[RPTNG_Week]
AND [c].[LOB_CODE] = [supdata].[LOB]
AND [c].[PRGRM_NAME] = [supdata].[Program]
AND [c].[PRJCT_NAME] = [supdata].[Project]
AND [c].[CNTNR_NAME] = [supdata].[Container]
) AS [cd];
Then once you have validated that is correct you can easily rewrite that has an update. Which would be what replaces your while loop.
UPDATE [supdata]
SET [Scheduled_Open] = [cd].[Scheduled_Open_Sum]
FROM [#SupplementalData1] [supdata]
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT COUNT([CNTNR_NAME]) AS [Scheduled_Open_Sum]
FROM [#data] [c]
WHERE [c].[NEED_DATE] >= [supdata].[RPTNG_Week]
AND [c].[LOB_CODE] = [supdata].[LOB]
AND [c].[PRGRM_NAME] = [supdata].[Program]
AND [c].[PRJCT_NAME] = [supdata].[Project]
AND [c].[CNTNR_NAME] = [supdata].[Container]
) AS [cd];

SQL - slow While 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
);

How to add an update statement value to a variable?

I want to save data in a variable and use it later in a procedure.
UPDATE acc_Account
SET acc_Account.CompanyID = ( SELECT TOP 1
utl_Company.CompanyID
FROM utl_Company
ORDER BY CompanyID DESC
)
WHERE acc_Account.AccountNumber = #AccountNumber
how can I save the CompanyID in a variable to use it in an insert statement later on?
Have this in the beginning of your code:
declare #var varchar(20) -- change the data type according to your needs
set #var = (SELECT TOP 1 utl_Company.CompanyID FROM utl_Company ORDER BY CompanyID DESC)
Create a select local variable before the update statement, then set it, then use it.
DECLARE #companyID INT;
SELECT #companyID = "YOUR QUERY";
I think the efficient way would be using OUTPUT clause
DECLARE #TAB TABLE (CompanyID BIGINT )
UPDATE acc_Account
SET acc_Account.CompanyID = (
SELECT max(CompanyID) FROM utl_Company
)
output inserted.CompanyID into #TAB
WHERE acc_Account.AccountNumber = #AccountNumber
SELECT * FROM #TAB

optimizing the code

I have written this code for small database but know the database size has increased,it is showing timeout error.plz help in optimizing it
Below is the code:-
IF OBJECT_ID('Temp_expo') is not null
begin
drop table Temp_expo
end
set #query3 = 'SELECT SPCT_ID_REL_LOW,SPCT_ID_REL_HIGH,ROW_NUMBER() over (order by PDBC_PFX) as TempId
INTO Temp_expo
FROM ['+ #FCTServer +'].['+#FCTDBName+'].dbo.CMC_SPCT_SUPP_CONV
where SPCT_ID_REL_LOW <> '''' and SPCT_ID_REL_HIGH <> '''''
exec (#query3)
Select #minCount= min(TempId) from Temp_expo
Select #maxCount= max(TempId) from Temp_expo
create table #ICD9SPCT
(
ICD9Code varchar(200)
}
while #minCount<=#maxCount
begin
select #low=SPCT_ID_REL_LOW,#high=SPCT_ID_REL_HIGH
from Temp_expo
where TempId=#minCount
group by SPCT_ID_REL_LOW,SPCT_ID_REL_HIGH
set #loworder = (select ISNULL(OrderId,0) from FCT_ICD9_Diag_ORDER where ICD9=#low)
set #highorder = (select ISNULL(OrderId,0) from FCT_ICD9_Diag_ORDER where ICD9=#high)
insert into #ICD9SPCT
select ICD9 from FCT_ICD9_Diag_ORDER ordert
left join #ICD9SPCT icdorder on ordert.ICD9 = icdorder.ICD9Code
where OrderId between #loworder and #highorder and icdorder.ICD9Code is null
set #minCount = #minCount+1;
end
If this is for SQL SERVER, there are some basic tips you can try:
USE: WITH (NOLOCK) after every select you use.
i.e.
select ICD9 from FCT_ICD9_Diag_ORDER ordert WITH (NOLOCK)
left join #ICD9SPCT icdorder on ordert.ICD9 = icdorder.ICD9Code
where OrderId between #loworder and #highorder and icdorder.ICD9Code is null
You can also try to change your temp tables to variable tables, by just changing the # for an # like :
create table #ICD9SPCT
(
ICD9Code varchar(200)
}
Still, the WHILE loop you are using may be the primary cause of your problem.

Quicker way to update all rows in a SQL Server table

Is there a more efficient way to write this code? Or with less code?
SELECT *
INTO #Temp
FROM testtemplate
Declare #id INT
Declare #name VARCHAR(127)
WHILE (SELECT Count(*) FROM #Temp) > 0
BEGIN
SELECT TOP 1 #id = testtemplateid FROM #Temp
SELECT TOP 1 #name = name FROM #Temp
UPDATE testtemplate
SET testtemplate.vendortestcode = (SELECT test_code FROM test_code_lookup WHERE test_name = #name)
WHERE testtemplateid = #id
--finish processing
DELETE #Temp Where testtemplateid = #id
END
DROP TABLE #Temp
You can do this in a single UPDATE with no need to loop.
UPDATE tt
SET vendortestcode = tcl.test_code
FROM testtemplate tt
INNER JOIN test_code_lookup tcl
ON tt.name = tcl.test_name
You could try a single update like this:
UPDATE A
SET A.vendortestcode = B.test_code
FROM testtemplate A
INNER JOIN test_code_lookup B
ON A.name = B.test_name
Also, the way you are doing it now is wrong, since you are taking a TOP 1 Id and a TOP 1 name in two separate querys, without an ORDER BY, so its not sure that you are taking the right name for your ID.
You could write a function to update vendortestcode. Then your code reduces to one SQL statement:
update testtemplate set vendortestcode = dbo.get_test_code_from_name(name)
