Data Extractor

  • Hi Chaps,

    I need to pull data from a complex DB, and consolidate it into:

    MONTH, LOCATION, Metric1, Metric2, Metric3.

    The month and location part are keys and would always be there, but I need to write different SQL to generate those metrics. It's all quite complex, or at least for me. And it seems too much to do inside 1 select statement.

    I wonder if I should do it in parts, dump in into a temporary tables then join and select from that. Ideally though, I just wanted 1 piece of code to do this, maybe an SP.

    Would anyone have any advice ? I guess it's more of a development/code structure question really.

    Regards, Greg
