Newbie Question: Can you have multiple Select Statements in a stored proc that interrelate Hi All.
I have been writing simple single stored procedures for a few years
now, but a client needs some reports (under Crystal) that I seem to
think the only way to get the data (from SQL2000) is to build up a
results set using a stored procedure with multiple select statements,
interrelated.
What I mean is this..
I have a Select statement that gathers information from one table.
Lets say 5 fields.
Then, the next select statement uses those two of those five fields to
get more data (lets say 15 fields), which then I have to join with the
data from the first select statement based on the result.
Then, I have another select statement after that, that uses 2 fields
from the second select statement on the 1st and 2nd statement results.
The last step is to pass this all back to either the Crystal reports
or to a vb.aspx application (which I know how to call the stored
procedure from these two apps).
Now, I know it is a big ask, but is there some website, or good
documentation on how to do this (or similar)? I am trying to do too
much with the stored procedure? If you know how to do this, could you
give an example...
Thanks,
