| I am far from a DBA or SQL developer but I have a requirement that I need to complete. In my database, I have a field that stores field names from another table in a pipe delimited varchar."field1|field2|field3|field4"and a value required for each field"Value1|Value2|Value3|Value4"I need to read those values in break them apart and build a query to another table to get the requested result."SELECT NOTE From TABLENAME WHERE FIELD1 = VALUE1 and FIELD2 = VALUE2 AND FIELD3 = VALUE3"Can this be done through a Stored Procedure or any other method, if so can someone point me in the right direction?Thanks in advance. |

I think this an idea of the devil  But if you really want do to some stuff like that you have to go with dynamic sql.See here:http://www.sommarskog.se/dynamic_sql.html
No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |

| I am not sure I have much choice based on the requirement from the client.The user has to be able to add fields (of their choice) and values ( of thier choice to return a note based on those fields and values in another table. IE.. They specify a temp of 80 degrees, a wind_direction SE and a speed 20. I run a query (view) that returns a set of data then based on what the user specified and what is returned from the view, I find the note stored in a seperate table (Join the note with the data based on the fields and values). Sigh, this is going to give me more gray hair. |
