Is there a way to further restrict the lookup performed by a database lookup

  • 0

Is there a way to further restrict the lookup performed by a database lookup functoid to include another column?

I have a table containing four columns.

Id (identity not important for this)
MapId int
Ident1 varchar
Ident2 varchar

I’m trying to get Ident2 for a match on Ident1 but wish it to only lookup where MapId = 1.

The functoid only allows the four inputs any ideas?

UPDATE

It appears there is a technique if you are interested in searching across columns that are string data types. For those interested I found this out here…

Google Books: BizTalk 2006 Recipes

Seeing as I wish to restrict on a numberic column this doesn’t work for me. If anyone has any ideas I’d appreciate it. Otherwwise I may need to think about my MapId column becoming a string.

    I changed the MapId to MapCode of type char(3) and used the technique described in the book I linked to in the update to the original question.

    The only issue I faced was that my column collations where not in line so I was getting an error from the SQL when they where concatenated in the statement generated by the map.

    exec sp_executesql N'SELECT * FROM IdentMap WHERE MapCode+Ident1= @P1',N'@P1 nvarchar(17)',N'<MapCode><Ident2>'

    Sniffed this using the SQL Profiler
