Is a subselect possible on a stored procedure

kjc

I have a stored procedure what produces N number of rows.
The rows are ordered by a cataegoryType as follows

catA
catB
catC
What is needed to do on the C++ code side is break these out into
their respective categories by iterating through the rows and checking
the category type. Is there a way to let the DB do this via some sort of
subselect on the rows returned via the stored procedure.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand the question. Maybe you could clarify
with an example?

(I do suspect though, that whatever you are trying to do, you should do it
on the the C++ side.)

Thanks for the reply.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the stored procedure returns
what amounts to a heterogeneous collection. If I made three separate
calls to the DB I would not have this problem ie..

call stored_proc_for _typeA
call stored_proc_for _typeB
call stored_proc_for _typeC
But, this is inefficient, so I'm making one call to a stored procedure
to like
call stored_proc_for _AllTypes

But, on the C++ side, these still must be broken out based on the type.

I still don't understand what you are after.

Obviously you stored_for_AllT ypes can say:

SELECT * FROM tbl WHRE type = 'typeA'
SELECT * FROM tbl WHRE type = 'typeB'
SELECT * FROM tbl WHRE type = 'typeC'

But that is not very much more efficient than making three stored procedure
calls.

But I don't see the problem for the C++ code. You get the data into some
data structure, depending on which client library you use. Using an
ORDER BY clause in the SQL makes it a little simpler for the C++ code
to find the boundaries.

(Actually there is a way to produce more than one result set from query,
by using the COMPUTE BY clause. But I would recommend use of this
deprecated feature.)

Hi All, Further to my previous long-winded question about a situation in which we appear to be mysteriously losing data from our mssql2k server.

Under certain conditions, this update is fired against the same record in the same table as the immediately preceding update statement within

Hello, I would like to ask the about the following... PostgreSQL allows tables resulting from subselects to be renamed with an optional AS keyword whereas Oracle 9 will report an error whenever a table is renamed with the AS keyword.

I wonder what standard SQL...
