Hello,

I have an SQL query that is working - see below.

I would like to have this query cloned below itself using probably a UNION ALL.

so if I assume that the query is QueryA and I would like to clone it as QueryB, I would like to do sometihng like :

Select * from QueryA

Union all

Select * from QueryB

Here is the normal query.

WITH hierar
     (
          chid,
          chname,
          generation,
          parentid
     )
     AS
     (
            SELECT chid,
                   dtpID,
                   0,
                   parentid
            FROM   dbo.rl AS firtgeneration
            WHERE  firtgeneration.parentid = 25165887
            AND    firtgeneration.dimid = 24
            AND    firtgeneration.dtpID = 0
            UNION ALL
            SELECT     nextgeneration.chid,
                       nextgeneration.dtpID,
                       parent.generation + 1,
                       parent.chid
            FROM       dbo.rl AS nextgeneration
            INNER JOIN hierar        AS parent
            ON         nextgeneration.parentid = parent.chid
     )


      SELECT Cast('DQUOTE'+Member4Parent.NAME+'DQUOTE' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS Field1 ,
           Cast('DQUOTE'+Member4Child.NAME+'DQUOTE' AS  VARCHAR(20)) AS Field2 ,
           Cast('' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS Field3


FROM       hierar
INNER JOIN dbo.member Member4Parent
ON         hierar.parentid = Member4Parent.mbid
INNER JOIN dbo.member Member4Child
ON         hierar.chid = Member4Child.mbid
WHERE      Member4Parent.dtpID = 0
AND        Member4Child.dtpID = 0
AND        Member4Parent.dimid = 24
AND        Member4Child.dimid = 24

My SQL skills are not advanced enough to do that to provide such an advance syntax. I know that for some of you it might be simple. Please could you provide me the ending result.

Thanks for your help

You would have to modify the bottom part of the query...

SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM
(SELECT Cast('DQUOTE'+Member4Parent.NAME+'DQUOTE' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS Field1 ,
           Cast('DQUOTE'+Member4Child.NAME+'DQUOTE' AS  VARCHAR(20)) AS Field2 ,
           Cast('' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS Field3
           1 AS sortOrder
FROM       hierar
INNER JOIN dbo.member Member4Parent
ON         hierar.parentid = Member4Parent.mbid
INNER JOIN dbo.member Member4Child
ON         hierar.chid = Member4Child.mbid
WHERE      Member4Parent.dtpID = 0
AND        Member4Child.dtpID = 0
AND        Member4Parent.dimid = 24
AND        Member4Child.dimid = 24
UNION ALL
SELECT Cast('DQUOTE'+Member4Parent.NAME+'DQUOTE' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS Field1 ,
           Cast('DQUOTE'+Member4Child.NAME+'DQUOTE' AS  VARCHAR(20)) AS Field2 ,
           Cast('' AS VARCHAR(20)) AS Field3
           2 AS sortOrder
FROM       hierar
INNER JOIN dbo.member Member4Parent
ON         hierar.parentid = Member4Parent.mbid
INNER JOIN dbo.member Member4Child
ON         hierar.chid = Member4Child.mbid
WHERE      Member4Parent.dtpID = 0
AND        Member4Child.dtpID = 0
AND        Member4Parent.dimid = 24
AND        Member4Child.dimid = 24) un
ORDER BY un.Field1, un.Field2, un.Field3, un.SortOrder

Thanks for your reply!

I do not really understand your result as it seems totally different, with new fields and all. I know how to do a normal basic UNION but the problem with my query was the WITH statement at the begining... it confuses me.

Could you please start with my query, as at least i could directly kind of reuse it.

Thanks again!

Or do I misunderstand... when you mean the bottom part of the query?
