Here is a version using a static Date table (I create and populate it with a CTE, but it is static):

create table DateTable (DateVal datetime)

declare @StartDate DateTime,

...

This is your CTE based query:

CREATE TABLE DateRange (Id TINYINT, Start_Range DATETIME, End_Range DATETIME)

INSERT DateRange

VALUES (1, '2011-07-13 12:05:12.123','2011-09-15 11:00:01.234')

,(2,'2011-09-15 11:00:01.234','2013-10-04 02:12:12.345')

,(3,'2013-10-04 02:12:12.345','2013-11-04 02:12:12.345')

;WITH cte2 (ID, Start_Range, End_Range) AS

(SELECT ID, c.Start_Range,...

How about some DDL for the parent table and sample data with the expected outcome? That would help. Do you not know the largest date range possible for the query?...

Why can't you create a permanent date table? That would be better then building one on the fly every time.

Try this:

'"SELECT @colnames =COALESCE(@colnames + '','', '''') + column_name from TestData.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME=''newtable'' and column_name in (' + @importedquery1 + '); select @colnames;" queryout C:\inetpub\wwwroot\cleansed\HeadersOnly.csv -c -T -SD3LICSQL02'

Same issue.

When ever something needs to be enclosed in single quotes make sure you use two when creating the dynamic string i.e.

where TABLE_NAME = 'newTable' and column...<- regular SQL

string =...

Let's use that one going forward.

You have a few options here. The first thing is that a query like this maybe impacted by bad parameter sniffing so test it with and without recompile.

This query will get you a list of job steps that are setup to run against a certain database:use msdb;

Hi All

ok if the variable @importedquery I pass in equals 'softwaremanufacturer,productname,productversion' then that's the only column headings I will want

I think you need this (notice the double single quotes before and after the comma:

It doesn't sound like a SS issue. Sounds like an OS/HW issue. Is this a new file or are you appending/overwriting an existing file?

If you are asking if the engine is working correctly it is. You can have nullable FKs. They do not check to see if there is a null column in...
