How can we alter view within a stored procedure ?
create procedure createviewupdatepenaltypointsconsecutive
as
begin
alter VIEW consecutive
as
WITH cte as (
SELECT *,
LAG([pointsRewarded], 1) OVER (PARTITION BY [EmployeeID] ORDER BY [WeekNumber]) as prev1_points,
LAG([pointsRewarded], 2) OVER (PARTITION BY [EmployeeID] ORDER BY [WeekNumber]) as prev2_points,
LAG([pointsRewarded], 3) OVER (PARTITION BY [EmployeeID] ORDER BY [WeekNumber]) as prev3_points
FROM week1
)
SELECT *,
CASE WHEN [pointsRewarded] = -10 AND prev1_points = -10 AND prev2_points = -10 AND prev3_points = -10
THEN -200
WHEN [pointsRewarded] = -10 AND prev1_points = -10 AND prev2_points = -10
THEN -100
WHEN [pointsRewarded] = -10 AND prev1_points = -10
THEN -50
ELSE 0
END penalty
FROM cte
end
M getting this error :
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure createviewupdatepenaltypointsconsecutive, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'VIEW'.
Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Procedure createviewupdatepenaltypointsconsecutive, Line 8
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression, an xmlnamespaces clause or a change tracking context clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.
You will not be able to run the ALTER VIEW
statement like that in your stored procedure. So to solve your problem you must take 2 actions:
1) To correct the error that currently appears you have to begin the CTE with a semicolon like that:
WITH cte as (
SELECT *,
LAG([pointsRewarded], 1) OVER (PARTITION BY [EmployeeID] ORDER BY [WeekNumber]) as prev1_points,
LAG([pointsRewarded], 2) OVER (PARTITION BY [EmployeeID] ORDER BY [WeekNumber]) as prev2_points,
LAG([pointsRewarded], 3) OVER (PARTITION BY [EmployeeID] ORDER BY [WeekNumber]) as prev3_points
FROM week1)
SELECT *,
CASE WHEN [pointsRewarded] = -10 AND prev1_points = -10 AND prev2_points = -10 AND prev3_points = -10
THEN -200
WHEN [pointsRewarded] = -10 AND prev1_points = -10 AND prev2_points = -10
THEN -100
WHEN [pointsRewarded] = -10 AND prev1_points = -10
THEN -50
ELSE 0
END penalty
FROM cte
(Or even better begin terminating all your SQL Statements with semicolon as the alternative is deprecated).
2) Convert your alter view statement in a dynamic SQL string and execute it using sp_executesql
as the ALTER VIEW
statement must be the first one in the batch:
CREATE PROCEDURE createviewupdatepenaltypointsconsecutive
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @STMT AS NVARCHAR(MAX) =
'
ALTER VIEW consecutive
AS
WITH cte as (
SELECT *,
LAG([pointsRewarded], 1) OVER (PARTITION BY [EmployeeID] ORDER BY [WeekNumber]) as prev1_points,
LAG([pointsRewarded], 2) OVER (PARTITION BY [EmployeeID] ORDER BY [WeekNumber]) as prev2_points,
LAG([pointsRewarded], 3) OVER (PARTITION BY [EmployeeID] ORDER BY [WeekNumber]) as prev3_points
FROM week1
)
SELECT *,
CASE WHEN [pointsRewarded] = -10 AND prev1_points = -10 AND prev2_points = -10 AND prev3_points = -10
THEN -200
WHEN [pointsRewarded] = -10 AND prev1_points = -10 AND prev2_points = -10
THEN -100
WHEN [pointsRewarded] = -10 AND prev1_points = -10
THEN -50
ELSE 0
END penalty
FROM cte
'
EXEC sp_executesql @STMT;
END
