I’ve a view created by referring to two synonyms. The current query I’ve to harvest my View Table is as below

SELECT  dbo.synonym1.JobNo
      , dbo.synonym1.Customer
      , dbo.synonym2.PostalService
      , dbo.synonym2.FirstDate
      , dbo.synonym2.SecondDate
FROM dbo.synonym1 
  INNER JOIN dbo.synonym2 ON dbo.synonym1.JobNo = sbo.synonym2.JobNo
WHERE dbo.synonym2.PostalService = 'UPS'

Now I would like to find the difference between dbo.synonym2.FirstDate and dbo.synonym2.SecondDate in each row and INSERT the same row again into the View Table as many times as there is a difference.

For example if the FirstDate is 2012-06-03 00:00:00.000 and SecondDate is 2012-06-05 00:00:00.000 then it should insert the same row twice.

I’m using SQL Server 2008 R2 and I’m a newbie to SQL. Please help me out

Sample data that gets populated currently with the above query in the view is as below,

JobNo  Customer PostalService FirstDate                 SecondDate  
1      ABC      UPS           2012-06-03 00:00:00.000   2012-06-03 00:00:00.000
2      DEF      UPS           2012-06-03 00:00:00.000   2012-06-06 00:00:00.000
3      XYZ      UPS           2012-06-03 00:00:00.000   2012-06-05 00:00:00.000

I would need a result as below

JobNo  Customer PostalService FirstDate                 SecondDate  
1      ABC      UPS           2012-06-03 00:00:00.000   2012-06-03 00:00:00.000
2      DEF      UPS           2012-06-03 00:00:00.000   2012-06-05 00:00:00.000
2      DEF      UPS           2012-06-03 00:00:00.000   2012-06-05 00:00:00.000
2      XYZ      UPS           2012-06-03 00:00:00.000   2012-06-05 00:00:00.000
3      XYZ      UPS           2012-06-03 00:00:00.000   2012-06-06 00:00:00.000
3      XYZ      UPS           2012-06-03 00:00:00.000   2012-06-06 00:00:00.000

If you see the difference between the dates for JobNo 2 is 3 so data is repeated three times. and for the JobNo 3 is 2 so data is repeated twice.

    Your request is a little confusing, because one doesn’t generally insert into views.

    However, the following will insert rows into a table

    insert into ViewTable(JobNo, Customer, PostalService, FirstDate, SecondDate)
    SELECT dbo.synonym1.JobNo, dbo.synonym1.Customer, dbo.synonym2.PostalService,
           dbo.synonym2.FirstDate, dbo.synonym2.SecondDate
     FROM dbo.synonym1 INNER JOIN
          dbo.synonym2
          ON dbo.synonym1.JobNo = sbo.synonym2.JobNo
     WHERE dbo.synonym2.PostalService = 'UPS' and
           datediff(d, FirstDate, SecondDate) <> 0

    You need to define ViewTable as an actual table though.
