Question

I have a quite complicated query which will by built up dynamically and is saved in a variable.

As second part i have another normal query and i’d like to make an inner join between these both.

To make it a little more easier here is a little example to illustrate my problem.
For this little example i used the AdventureWorks database.

Some query built up dynamically

(Yes, i know there is nothing dynamic here, cause it’s just an example.)

DECLARE @query AS varchar(max) ;

set @query = '
select
    HumanResources.Employee.EmployeeID
    ,HumanResources.Employee.LoginID
    ,HumanResources.Employee.Title
    ,HumanResources.EmployeeAddress.AddressID
from
    HumanResources.Employee
    inner join HumanResources.EmployeeAddress
    on HumanResources.Employee.EmployeeID = HumanResources.EmployeeAddress.EmployeeID
;';

EXEC (@query);

The normal query i have

select
    Person.Address.AddressID
    ,Person.Address.City
from
    Person.Address

Maybe what i’d like to have but doesn’t work

select
    @query.*
    ,Addresses.City
from
    @query as Employees
    inner join
    (
        select
            Person.Address.AddressID
            ,Person.Address.City
        from
            Person.Address
    ) as Addresses
    on Employees.AddressID = Addresses.AddressID

Answer 1

Use temp tables & have the records dumped into it (from the dynamic query) & use the temp table to join with the static query that you have.

set @query = 'CREATE table #myTempTable AS
select
    HumanResources.Employee.EmployeeID
    ,HumanResources.Employee.LoginID
    ,HumanResources.Employee.Title
    ,HumanResources.EmployeeAddress.AddressID
from
    HumanResources.Employee
    inner join HumanResources.EmployeeAddress
    on HumanResources.Employee.EmployeeID = HumanResources.EmployeeAddress.EmployeeID
;';

EXEC (@query);

And then

select
    Employees.*
    ,Addresses.City
from
    #myTempTable as Employees
    inner join
    (
        select
            Person.Address.AddressID
            ,Person.Address.City
        from
            Person.Address
    ) as Addresses
    on Employees.AddressID = Addresses.AddressID
