Question

Hi I'm trying to create a view (my first actually), but I seem to be hitting a wall. Eventually I want to parameterize the view (or actually the in parameters to the stored proc), but I can't get it created in the first place with hardcoded parameters.

I want to "join" a table "artikel" with a stored procedure (G__S_FuQtyCalcEquiv) that returns a single row result set for each "artikel" row. The query (the part after "AS") itself runs fine when executed in ISQL, but whenever I try to create it as a view I get the following error:

Derived table 'l_fuqty' has no name for column 1

I really haven't got a clue what this refers to (especially as the query itself seems ok), below are some extra errorcodes and the code for constructing the view.

Any help is much appreciated.

SQLCODE: -163 SQLSTATE: 42000 SQL Statement:

ALTER VIEW "dba"."vArtProps"

  SELECT 
  artikel.artsiteid,
  artikel.artnum,
  l_fuqty.npercolli,

What version do you use?

In case it is v12 or below: I guess the error is similar to the one discussed in that other FAQ - please look at Nick's answer particularly.

One simple solution would be to replace LATERAL with the CROSS APPLY operator, such as...

   ...
   FROM artikel CROSS APPLY G_S_FuQtyCalcEquiv(        
        'a',
        ...

Note, you can parametrize views with the help of connection-level variables created via CREATE VARIABE, such as

create view MyView
as
select * from MyTable
where MyCol1 = @MyVar;

-- client 101
create variable int @MyVar = 101;

-- client 102
create variable int @MyVar = 102;

Thanks a million, that saved my day (or maybe a couple more). Indeed this was version 11, but I like the cross apply simplicity too!

Glad to hear that - feel free to accept that answer then (i.e. click on the checkmark...)

never noticed that checkmark before, learned something new again :-)
