Building WHERE clause in Stored Procedure

I have 3 parameters for a stored procedure.
Desc1      Year      Desc2
08-100      2008      PERM-1
09-110      2009      PERM-2
10-289      2010      PERM-3

I want to construct a WHERE clause like below
(Desc1 = ’08-100’ AND Year=’2008’ AND ‘Desc2’ = ‘PERM-1’) AND
(Desc1 = ’09-110’ AND Year=’2009’ AND ‘Desc2’ = ‘PERM-2’) AND
(Desc1 = ’10-289’ AND Year=’2010’ AND ‘Desc2’ = ‘PERM-3’)

Would someone please help me on this

I am not sure what you are looking for.
This is the way to create a stored procedure using those three parameters
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_YourStoredProcedure
(
    @Desc1 VARCHAR(50),
    @Year   INT,
    @Desc2 VARCHAR(50)
)
AS
BEGIN
    SELECT * FROM YourTable WHERE Desc1 = @Desc1 AND Year =  @Year AND Desc2 = @Desc2
END
GO

The three parameters for the SP that have values as below
Desc1 --> '08-100,09-110,10-289'
Year    --> '2008','2009','2010'
Desc2 --> 'PERM-1,PERM-2,PERM-3'

I have the stored procedure as below

CREATE PROCEDURE usp_XXXXX(Desc1 varchar(2000),Year varchar(2000),Desc2 varchar(2000)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT col1,col2...
FROM table1 A
               outer join table2 B ON A.Id = B.Id
               outer join table3 C ON A.Id = C.Id
WHERE
             (Desc1 = ’08-100’ AND Year=’2008’ AND ‘Desc2’ = ‘PERM-1’) AND
             (Desc1 = ’09-110’ AND Year=’2009’ AND ‘Desc2’ = ‘PERM-2’) AND
             (Desc1 = ’10-289’ AND Year=’2010’ AND ‘Desc2’ = ‘PERM-3’)                                            
END

As you see in the above procedure, i want to construct a WHERE clause.

Let me know if i am not clear. Thanks
I understood. Good Question!

You need to use split function or use that code in your stored procedure.
I will try to help. Or by that time some other experts may post before me

Raj
Would the count of values alway three (as in your example) or it could vary ?
eg:-  '08-100,09-110,10-289' - have three data

Raj
There is no specific count. It could vary from 1 to any number (may be in hundreds).
I have used Split and tried to customize but i am getting a syntax error at SET @where statement. Would you pls help me out.
SP.txt
So you are trying to create a dynamic query

The error is that - in your query acts as substract operator - which is not valid for varchar

Raj
This is the WHERE part you are trying to create dynamically, right ?
I.Desc1 = @sliceDesc1
 AND I.Year = @sliceYear 
AND I.Desc2 = @sliceDesc2

Open in new window

Check it with your current WHERE part, it have some issues
It should be simply
SET @where = 'I.Desc1 = ' + @sliceDesc1 + ' AND I.Year = ' + @sliceYear + ' AND I.Desc2 = ' + @sliceDesc2

I am correcting the WHERE clause. But the Where clause is fecthing the first row three times. I will look into this and post back.
I will replace AND with OR
Thanks for your time Raj.
Glad I could assist you.

I am posting another solution that I have. I am not sure this will more better than your current solution.
Anyway posting

1. Create this function
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO


create FUNCTION ConvertCSDataToTable
(
	@Desc1 VARCHAR(8000),
    @Year  VARCHAR(8000),
    @Desc2 VARCHAR(8000)

)
RETURNS @Items table 
(
	Desc1 VARCHAR(8000),
    Year  VARCHAR(8000),
    Desc2 VARCHAR(8000))
AS
BEGIN

DECLARE @Desc1Temp As varchar(8000), @YearTemp AS VARCHAR(8000), @Desc2Temp AS VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @Pos1 As int, @Pos2 As int, @Pos3 As int

WHILE DATALENGTH(@Desc1)>0
BEGIN
	SET @Pos1=CHARINDEX(',',@Desc1)
	IF @Pos1=0 SET @Pos1=DATALENGTH(@Desc1)+1
	SET @Desc1Temp =  LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(@Desc1,@Pos1-1)))
	SET @Desc1=SUBSTRING(@Desc1,@Pos1+DATALENGTH(','),8000)

	SET @Pos2=CHARINDEX(',',@Desc2)
	IF @Pos2=0 SET @Pos2=DATALENGTH(@Desc2)+1
	SET @Desc2Temp =  LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(@Desc2,@Pos2-1)))
	SET @Desc2=SUBSTRING(@Desc2,@Pos2+DATALENGTH(','),8000)

	SET @Pos3=CHARINDEX(',',@Year)
	IF @Pos3=0 SET @Pos3=DATALENGTH(@Year)+1
	SET @YearTemp =  LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(@Year,@Pos3-1)))
	SET @Year=SUBSTRING(@Year,@Pos3+DATALENGTH(','),8000)

	INSERT INTO @Items VALUES (@Desc1Temp, @YearTemp,  @Desc2Temp)
END
RETURN
END

Open in new window


2. Then use this query inside your stored procedure - Uncomment Collate if any collate error
Instead of '08-100,09-110,10-289' use the parameter  - @Desc1 etc
SELECT a.*
 FROM #table A,
 abaxuser.ConvertCSDataToTable( '08-100,09-110,10-289',  '2008,2009,2010', 'PERM-1,PERM-2,PERM-3') B
WHERE a.Desc1 = b.Desc1 -- COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
AND a.Year = b.Year  -- COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS
AND a.Desc2 = b.Desc2 -- COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS

Open in new window

Instead of 'abaxuser', use 'dbo'
