I would like to create a function which runs a specific query that will extract any DimPatientID that is listed within the DimTestPatient table. Currently, I use the WHERE clause to exclude the test IDs from my query. I would like a function because I will use the WHERE clause on almost any query that I will run in the future.
SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM
dbo.DimPatient dp
LEFT JOIN
dbo.FactTreatmentHistory th ON dp.DimPatientID = th.DimPatientID
WHERE
dp.DimPatientID NOT IN (SELECT DimPatientID
FROM dbo.DimTestPatient)
try using STORED PROCEDURE , it also supports parameters which are handy when you want to return a result set in the form of table.
it can utilise whole query , including WHERE clause as well.

I am creating a web app using SQL Server on a private framework. This web app has an orderLines table that should only show the ordersLines of the specific order that is currently opened.
My framework allows to pass views as data objects to tables. So basically I can pass a orderlines view to my table and it shows all the orderlines that are in the db, but the problem is I need only the orderlines of my specific order. I have created a stored procedure that receives orderID as a parameter, but I don't know how to use it instead of a view.
The stored procedure code is below and the view is pretty much the same just without the checking of orderID.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[astp_Sales_OrdersLinesProductsByID]
(#OrderId INT)
AS
SELECT
ol.OrderID, ol.Created, ol.CreatedBy, ol.Updated, ol.UpdatedBy,
ol.CUT, ol.CDL, ol.Domain, ol.ProductID, ol.Amount,
p.ProductName, p.Supplier, p.Quantity AS TotalQuantity, p.Price,
ol.PrimKey
FROM
dbo.atbl_Sales_OrdersLines AS ol
INNER JOIN
dbo.atbl_Sales_Products AS p ON ol.ProductID = p.ProductID
WHERE
ol.OrderID = #OrderId
I was thinking that maybe there is a way to add the stored procedure to my view? Because from what I see it's not possible to pass parameters to a view.
Could anyone help me with this?
Thank you
A stored procedure can be called by using EXEC:
EXEC <sp_NameHere> #Parameter = <ParameterValueHere>
In your case:
EXEC [dbo].[astp_Sales_OrdersLinesProductsByID] #OrderId = 1
You cannot SELECT from a stored procedure like you would SELECT from a view or table.
However, I completely agree with SMor (as in: the term "View" means something completely different in SQL). You should reconsider your solution as I assume that the framework you are using will provide a method for building the query and/or filtering the results in a more efficient way.
I have a situation which prevent me of updating rows in a table in MSSQL getting the data from ORACLE. I can INSERT fine from ORACLE to MS SQL using a SELECT statement like:
SELECT XRECORDACTIVATIONDATE, XRECORDCUTOFFDATE, XRECORDREVIEWDATE,
XRECORDFILINGDATE, XNOLATESTREVISIONDATE, XNEWREVISIONDATE, XDATERECEIVEDDOC,
XINACTIVEDATE, DCREATEDATE, DINDATE, DRELEASEDATE, DLASTMODIFIEDDATE
FROM STELLENT.V_EXPORT_TO_MSSQL V
But when I try to update the rows based on an unique ID using:
UPDATE D
SET D.XRECORDACTIVATIONDATE = V.XRECORDACTIVATIONDATE
FROM DBO.DOCUMENT D
INNER JOIN STELLENT."V_EXPORT_TO_MSSQL" V ON D.DID = V.DID
I get the following error:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
(System.Data.OracleClient)
DBO.DOCUMENT is a MSSQL table.
STELLENT.V_EXPORT_TO_MSSQL is a View in ORACLE
I might be writing wrong the query I will appreciate some help. thank you.
Lukasz is correct - a select statement is a lot different from an insert statement.
The ORA-00933 error means your query is not formed properly. This is because in Oracle, the database expects queries to follow a certain format/standard. Typically, queries within Oracle will have a form of SELECT [columns] FROM [tables] WHERE [conditions]. This can vary - for example if you wanted to select all data from a table, that query might look like "SELECT * FROM [table];" and the WHERE clause can be omitted because you do not need to define a condition for the database to return all rows. While queries can vary in form, in general, they will follow some type of format.
You are receiving this error because your query does not conform to the expected form, and it is because you have an INNER JOIN that directly follows your FROM clause. To fix this, I would recommend creating a query that you use to select the records you want to update, and then using that select statement to form your update statement by replacing the "SELECT" with "UPDATE".
For more on SQL Standards and how to format your queries, I would recommend taking a look at Oracle documentation. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_1001.htm#SQLRF52344
I need to create a "ghost" table in SQL Server, which doesn't actually exist but is a result set of a SQL Query. Pseudo code is below:
SELECT genTbl_col1, genTblcol2
FROM genTbl;
However, "genTbl" is actually:
SELECT table1.col AS genTbl_col1,
table2.col AS genTbl_col2
FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON (...)
In other words, I need that every time a query is run on the server trying to select from "genTbl", it simply creates a result set from the query and treats it like a real table.
The situation is that I have a software that runs queries on a database. I need to modify it, but I cannot change the software itself, so I need to trick it into thinking it can actually query "genTbl", when it actually doesn't exist but is simply a query of other tables.
To clarify, the query would have to be a sort of procedure, available by default in the database (i.e. every time there is a query for "genTbl").
Use #TMP
SELECT genTbl_col1, genTblcol2
INTO #TMP FROM genTbl;
It exists only in current session. You can also use ##TMP for all sessions.
I am going round in circles with a bit of SQL and would appreciate some help.
I've looked up creating temp tables, nested Select statements (where advice seems to be to avoid these like the plague) and various uses of Case statements but I can't seem to find a solution that works. I'd say I'm beginner level for SQL.
I have a table with 10 relevant records. The query that works to return all the relevant entries in the table is:
SELECT
TblServAct.ServActId
,TblServAct.ServActName
FROM TblServAct
WHERE TblServAct.ServActExclude IS NULL
ORDER BY TblServAct.ServActName
Here is where I run into problems:
When the parameter (#YESNOActivity) = Yes, I want all the rows in the table to be returned. I have managed to do this with a CASE statement
...however when the parameter (#YESNOActivity) = No, I want ONLY ONE row to be returned which doesn't actually exist in the table (and should not be inserted into the actual table). The values that I need to insert are: ServActId = 101 and ServActName = 'Select YES in Parameter2 to filter by Service Activity'
For background, the reason I am doing this is because I have found SSRS report parameters to be especially difficult to conditionally format. I want to use the dataset above to return a message in a parameter (lets call it parameter2) that the user needs to select yes in (#YESNOActivity) in order to see the full selection list in parameter2.
If I can get this to work I can see lots of potential for re-use so all advice appreciated
Thanks

I believe this should do the job, just include your parameter in the WHERE clause and UNION it with your own row of data.
SELECT
TblServAct.ServActId
,TblServAct.ServActName
FROM TblServAct
WHERE TblServAct.ServActExclude IS NULL
AND #YESNOActivity = 'Yes'
UNION ALL
SELECT
ServActId = 101
,ServActName = 'Select YES in Parameter2 to filter by Service Activity'
WHERE #YESNOActivity = 'No'
ORDER BY TblServAct.ServActName
One way is to use this query:
SELECT
TblServAct.ServActId
,TblServAct.ServActName
FROM TblServAct
WHERE TblServAct.ServActExclude IS NULL
AND 'Yes' = #YESNOActivity
UNION ALL
SELECT
101 AS ServActId
,'Select YES in Parameter2 to filter by Service Activity' AS ServActName
WHERE 'No' = #YESNOActivity
ORDER BY TblServAct.ServActName
Another way would be to create two data flows and use your variable in a constraint to send the processing to one or the other.
A third way would be to put an expression on the SQL command and use your variable to switch between two SQL statements.
I have a requirement to update a column with multiple values. The query looks like below.
Update table1 set column1 = (
select value from table2 where table1.column0 = table2.coulmn
)
Is there any generalised stored procedure for a requirement like the above?
short of creating a statement as a string and using the "execute" statement, I don't know of one. Generally "execute" is frowned on as it's a potential injection attack point.
Why would you want to update one table with information that is easily available in another? Seems like you are just guaranteeing that you are going to have to run this query every single time you perform an update, insert or delete against the camsnav table. Otherwise how are you going to keep them in sync?
Also, if you cannot guarantee that the sub-query will return exactly one row, it is probably safer to use the SQL Server-specific and proprietary update format:
UPDATE f SET nav = n.nav
FROM camsfolio AS f
INNER JOIN camsnav AS n
ON f.schcode = n.schcode;
SQL Server doesn't use "generalised stored procedures" for this kind of thing. It's up to you to build your own SP, composed using an appropriate parameterized UPDATE statement.
