T-SQL with關鍵字的實例應用
Select字句在邏輯上是SQL語句最后進行處理的最后一步，所以，以下查詢會發生錯誤：
- SELECT
- YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear,
- COUNT(DISTINCT CustomerID) AS NumCusts
- FROM dbo.Orders
- GROUP BY OrderYear;
因為group by是在Select之前進行的，那個時候orderYear這個列并沒有形成。
如果要查詢成功，可以像下面進行修改：
- SELECT OrderYear, COUNT(DISTINCT CustomerID) AS NumCusts
- FROM (SELECT YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear, CustomerID
- FROM dbo.Orders) AS D
- GROUP BY OrderYear;
還有一種很特殊的寫法：
- SELECT OrderYear, COUNT(DISTINCT CustomerID) AS NumCusts
- FROM (SELECT YEAR(OrderDate), CustomerID
- FROM dbo.Orders) AS D(OrderYear, CustomerID)
- GROUP BY OrderYear;
在作者眼里，他是非常喜歡這種寫法的，因為更清晰，更明確，更便于維護。
在查詢中使用參數定向產生一批結果，這個技巧沒有什么好說的。
嵌套查詢，在處理邏輯上是從里向外進行執行的。
多重引用，有可能你的SQL語句包含了多次從一個表進行查詢后進行連接組合。比如你要比較每年的顧客數同先前年的顧客數的變化，所以你的查詢就必須JOIN了2個相同的表的實例，這也是不可避免的。
Common Table Expressions (CTE)
CTE是在SQL2005新加入的一種表的表示類型。
它的定義如下：
- WITH cte_name
- AS
- (
- cte_query
- )
- outer_query_refferring to_cte_name;
注意：因為在標準的T-SQL語言中已經包含了WITH關鍵字，所以為了區分，CTE在語句的結尾加上了“;”作為停止符。
CTE實例一(結果集別名)
- WITH C AS
- (
- SELECT YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear, CustomerID
- FROM dbo.Orders
- )
- SELECT OrderYear, COUNT(DISTINCT CustomerID) AS NumCusts
- FROM C
- GROUP BY OrderYear;
當然，作者本人有更推薦的寫法：
- WITH C(OrderYear, CustomerID) AS
- (
- SELECT YEAR(OrderDate), CustomerID
- FROM dbo.Orders
- )
- SELECT OrderYear, COUNT(DISTINCT CustomerID) AS NumCusts
- FROM C
- GROUP BY OrderYear;
CTE實例二(多重CTEs)
- WITH C1 AS
- (
- SELECT YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear, CustomerID
- FROM dbo.Orders
- ),
- C2 AS
- (
- SELECT OrderYear, COUNT(DISTINCT CustomerID) AS NumCusts
- FROM C1
- GROUP BY OrderYear
- )
- SELECT OrderYear, NumCusts
- FROM C2
- WHERE NumCusts > 70;
CTE實例叁(多重引用)
- WITH YearlyCount AS
- (
- SELECT YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear,
- COUNT(DISTINCT CustomerID) AS NumCusts
- FROM dbo.Orders
- GROUP BY YEAR(OrderDate)
- )
- SELECT Cur.OrderYear,
- Cur.NumCusts AS CurNumCusts, Prv.NumCusts AS PrvNumCusts,
- Cur.NumCusts - Prv.NumCusts AS Growth
- FROM YearlyCount AS Cur
- LEFT OUTER JOIN YearlyCount AS Prv
- ON Cur.OrderYear = Prv.OrderYear + 1;
CTE實例四(修改數據)
1.把從customer表查詢出來的結果，動態的組裝進新表CustomersDups里：
- IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.CustomersDups') IS NOT NULL
- DROP TABLE dbo.CustomersDups;
- GO
- WITH CrossCustomers AS
- (
- SELECT 1 AS c, C1.*
- FROM dbo.Customers AS C1, dbo.Customers AS C2
- )
- SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY c) AS KeyCol,
- CustomerID, CompanyName, ContactName, ContactTitle, Address,
- City, Region, PostalCode, Country, Phone, Fax
- INTO dbo.CustomersDups
- FROM CrossCustomers;
2.使用CTE移除數據，只保留CustomerDups表里同一CustomerID里KeyCol為最大的記錄。
- WITH JustDups AS
- (
- SELECT * FROM dbo.CustomersDups AS C1
- WHERE KeyCol <
- (SELECT MAX(KeyCol) FROM dbo.CustomersDups AS C2
- WHERE C2.CustomerID = C1.CustomerID)
- )
- DELETE FROM JustDups;
CTE實例五(對象容器)
即提供了封裝的能力，有利于組件化的編程。作者額外的提醒，CTE無法直接內嵌，但是可以通過把CTE封裝進一個對象容器里并從一個外部的CTE里對這容器的數據進行查詢而實現內嵌。
作者也說明了，使用CTEs在VIEW和UDFs里是沒有什么價值的。
有個例子，如下:
- CREATE VIEW dbo.VYearCnt
- AS
- WITH YearCnt AS
- (
- SELECT YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear,
- COUNT(DISTINCT CustomerID) AS NumCusts
- FROM dbo.Orders
- GROUP BY YEAR(OrderDate)
- )
- SELECT * FROM YearCnt;
CTE實例六(CTEs的遞歸)
作者給了一個例子，來講述這個在SQL2005的新內容，CTEs的遞歸。
根據employeeId，返回此員工的信息，并包含所有下級員工的信息。(等級關系基于empolyeeId和reportsTo的屬性)所返回的結果包含下列字段，employeeId,reportsTo,FirstName,LastName。
作者在這里，給予了一個最佳的索引方式：
- CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_mgr_emp_ifname_ilname
- ON dbo.Employees(ReportsTo, EmployeeID)
- INCLUDE(FirstName, LastName);
作者的解釋： 這個索引將通過一個單獨的查詢(局部掃描)來取得每個經理的直接下級。Include(FristName,LastName)加在這里，即是覆蓋列。
小知識：什么Include索引?
Include索引是SQL2005的新功能。Include索引的列并不影響索引行的物理存儲順序，他們作為一個掛件‘掛在'索引行上。掛這些‘掛件'的目的在于，只需要掃描一把索引就獲得了這些附加數據。
回到作者的例子上，下面是遞歸的代碼：
- WITH EmpsCTE AS
- (
- SELECT EmployeeID, ReportsTo, FirstName, LastName
- FROM dbo.Employees
- WHERE EmployeeID = 5
- UNION ALL
- SELECT EMP.EmployeeID, EMP.ReportsTo, EMP.FirstName, EMP.LastName
- FROM EmpsCTE AS MGR
- JOIN dbo.Employees AS EMP
- ON EMP.ReportsTo = MGR.EmployeeID
- )
- SELECT * FROM EmpsCTE;
理解：一個遞歸的CTE包含了至少2個查詢，第一個查詢在CTE的身體里類似于一格錨點。這個錨點僅僅返回一個有效的表，并作為遞歸的一個錨。從上的例子看出來，錨點僅僅返回了一個employeeID = 5 的一行。然后的第2個查詢是作為遞歸成員。當查詢到下屬成員的結果為空時，此遞歸結束。
如果你擔心遞歸會造成永久循環，你可以使用下面的表達：
- WITH cte_name AS (cte_body) outer_query OPTION (MAXRECURSION n);
默認的n為100，當n=0時，無限制。
