Using Variables To Create Views
May 8, 2007I am stuck on creating views using the variables. I keep on getting the 'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch error. I understand that views need to be the first statement, but I have a lot of views that need to reference specific variables - is there any way to do this?
The code I am using is as follows:
DECLARE @view varchar(MAX)
DECLARE @database varchar(30)
SET @database = 'KateTEST3'
--Insert views
SET @view = 'USE ['+@database+']
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON;
CREATE view [dbo].[userssupplier]
as
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Users
WHERE (User_Type = 4.0) OR
(User_Type = 5.2)'
EXEC(@view)

View 1 Replies View RelatedShould I Create Indexes On Views Or Tables
May 22, 2007I have a pretty large database that has tables that will contain millions of rows of records. I will predominantly be using Views just to select the data. (I will not be performing any updates or inserts). I propose creating indexes on the views. My question is - if I create indexes on my views, do I have to create them on the tables as well? Is it good practice to create indexes on tables by default even if I am not going to be performing select statements directly on my tables but via my indexed views? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Unable To Create/edit Views, Tables.. From VS .NET
Mar 21, 2005Hi,
I'm working with few examples from a 70-315 exam prep book.
I'm trying to view the Table design... edit/ create views from VS. NET environment.
But when i right click on the View node under Data Connection tree i get only "Refresh" & "Properties". According to this book.. i should be able to create new views from here.
I'm working with a SQL Server 2000 local installation. VS .NET is connected to the DB, as i tried other examples and i'm able to read from the DB.
My SQL server installation is a 120 days eval installation... has this got anything to do with the behavior ??
I also reied to establish a connection with SQL server 'sa' login... i could connect, but again i wasnt able to create 'views' access tables design.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
SQL 2012 :: Should Use Views Or Create A Data Mart
Oct 9, 2015our group is debating whether we should use views or data marts. WE have some huge queries that can have many joins up to 20 in some cases. One part of our group wants to use views to pull this data and another thinks we should create a data mart off an SSIS package and run it early every morning and then have the users access the data directly from there.
I am not really sure how a view would speed things up. If I have 20 users and they all call a view the view is created 20 times is that not correct? Since a view is basically just a stored sql statement (not a stored proc) I am not seeing how this is any more efficient.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCreate Item Availability Views - Date Calculations
Mar 18, 2008
I am having a hard time creating a view with some complex math to chow availability for rental items.
My tables are as follows:
OrderHeader
OrderID int,
Site int,
StartDate datetime,
EndDate datetime
OrderDetail
OrderDetailID int,
Site int,
OrderID int,
ItemName varchar(30),
Qty int
ShipHeader
ShippingID int,
Type int,
ActionDate datetime
ShipDetail
ShipDetailID int ,
ShippingID int,
OrderDetailID int,
Qty int
Transaction
TransactionID int,
Type int
PurchaseHeader
PurchaseHeaderID int,
Site int
PickupDate datetime,
ReturnDate datetime,
PurchaseDetails
PurchaseDetailsID int,
PurchaseHeaderID int,
ItemName varchar(30),
Qty int
I need a view that shows how many items will be available on a particular day for a specified item, date range and a specified €œSite€? (Office location. For example, NY, LA, CA, etc.)
The quantity actually owned is calculated from the Transaction table. Type, Qty are the columns. (type 1 is a purchase or addition and type 2 is a sale or subtraction. The quantity owned is the sum of all type 1s minus the sum of all type 2s.
The ShipHeader table also shows types. Type 1 is ship, Type 2 is return and Type 3 is lost.
Initially, all availability is calculated based on the FromDate and ToDate of our order headers. However, once the order has shipped, the availability should change to our ship and return dates in our ShipDetails table. Additionally, there is a PurchaseDetails table that shows items to be €œSub-Rented€? for a time frame. The PurchaseHeader table contains the FromDate and ToDate for these sub-rented items to be added to availability. If an item is kept beyond the due date set in the OrderHeader, then the item should show as unavailable from the FromDate through all future dates (as there is no way of telling when a late item will be returning. Once, the item is either returned or marked as lost, it should become available again as of that date.
The view should list dates in each row with the number of units available on that date.
Also, a second view needs to be created that shows the details for the dates listed in the first view. this is essentially a list of the orders or puchase orders that were used to calculate the number available.
I think this covers it.
As I said, this is a bit complicated. i understand what needs to be done but need assistance assembling the code to make it happen.

Are Embedded Views (Views Within Views...) Evil And If So Why?
Apr 3, 2006Fellow database developers,I would like to draw on your experience with views. I have a databasethat includes many views. Sometimes, views contains other views, andthose views in turn may contain views. In fact, I have some views inmy database that are a product of nested views of up to 6 levels deep!The reason we did this was.1. Object-oriented in nature. Makes it easy to work with them.2. Changing an underlying view (adding new fields, removing etc),automatically the higher up views inherit this new information. Thismake maintenance very easy.3. These nested views are only ever used for the reporting side of ourapplication, not for the day-to-day database use by the application.We use Crystal Reports and Crystal is smart enough (can't believe Ijust said that about Crystal) to only pull back the fields that arebeing accessed by the report. In other words, Crystal will issue aSelect field1, field2, field3 from ReportingView Where .... eventhough "ReportingView" contains a long list of fields.Problems I can see.1. Parent views generally use "Select * From childview". This meansthat we have to execute a "sp_refreshview" command against all viewswhenever child views are altered.2. Parent views return a lot of information that isn't necessarilyused.3. Makes it harder to track down exactly where the information iscoming from. You have to drill right through to the child view to seethe raw table joins etc.Does anyone have any comments on this database design? I would love tohear your opinions and tales from the trenches.Best regards,Rod.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecompiling Views That Reference Other Views
Jun 28, 2007Hello.
Newbie here. I've only been using SQL for about a year now and have some minor questions about sql objects that reference other objects.
We have some views which reference other views in the joins. I will call one the primary view and the one being referenced in the joins as the secondary view.
Recently we made changes to the secondary view.
After which the primary views which referenced it would not work because of this change and had to be 'refreshed' by using drop/create scripts which essentially just dropped it and recreated the exact same view. I do not recall the exact error message that was returned other than it seemed to suggest that it could no longer see the secondary view since it had been changed. Nothing in the primary view was changed in any way, just the secondary.
Some here where I work have suggested off hand that this was a recompile of the primary view because the contents of the secondary changed.
My questions are:
1. Exactly why did this happen and is there a proper name for it when it does?
2. The same problem does not seem to occur when we have stored procedures referencing views in the joins which had just been changed. Why is that?
Thanks for any help on the matter. I greatly appreciate it.

Views Dependent On Other Views
Mar 14, 2006Hello There,I'm trying to create a view that has calculations dependent oncalculations, where the problem resides is that each time I make acalculation I must create an intermediate view so I can reference aprevious calculation.for example lets say I have my_table that has columns a & b. now I wanta view that has a & b, c = a + b, and d = c + 1.this is grossly simplified, the calculations I actually use are fairlycomplex and copying / pasting them is out of the question.so what I have is my_view_a which makes column c, and my my_view_finalwhich makes column d (however, in my real application I have 5 of theseviews, a/b/c/d/e/)is there anyway I can consolidate all these views into one? I wasthinking of using a stored procedure with temp tables or somethingalong those lines.I just which I can use the aliases that I create for c in d in onestep.any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Create Variable To Store Fetched Name To Use Within BEGIN / END Statements To Create A Login
Mar 3, 2014I created a cursor that moves through a table to retrieve a user's name.When I open this cursor, I create a variable to store the fetched name to use within the BEGIN/END statements to create a login, user, and role.
I'm getting an 'incorrect syntax' error at the variable. For example ..
CREATE LOGIN @NAME WITH PASSWORD 'password'
I've done a bit of research online and found that you cannot use variables to create logins and the like. One person suggested a stored procedure or dynamic SQL, whereas another pointed out that you shouldn't use a stored procedure and dynamic SQL is best.

Grant CREATE VIEW, CREATE PROCEDURE ...
Apr 12, 2006Hi,
I have currently a problem with setting up the permissions for some developers. My configuration looks like this.
DB A is the productive database.
DB B is a kind of "development" database.
Now we have a couple of users call them BOB, DAVID, ...
who are members of the db role db_reader and db_writer for the productive db a but they should be allowed to do nearly everything on db b.
Therefor I added them to the db role db_owner for db b.
For testing purposes I tried to "CREATE" a view TEST as BOB in database B but I received the error message
'Msg 262, Level 14, State 1, Procedure Test, Line 3
CREATE VIEW permission denied in database 'b'.'
I cross checked the permissions on db level and I even granted all available permissions on db level but nevertheless I receive this error message.
What's my mistake?
Of course it worked fine when I give them sysadmin rights but then they have far too much permissions.
Regards,
Stefan
