Can we pass parameters to a view in SQL?

Question

Can we pass a parameter to a view in Microsoft SQL Server?

I tried to create view in the following way, but it doesn\'t work:

create o         


        

Answer 1

we can write a stored procedure with input parameters and then use that stored procedure to get a result set from the view. see example below.

the stored procedure is

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Report_LoginSuccess] -- [sp_Report_LoginSuccess] '01/01/2010','01/30/2010'
@fromDate datetime,
@toDate datetime,
@RoleName varchar(50),
@Success int
as
If @RoleName != 'All'
Begin
   If @Success!=2
   Begin
   --fetch based on true or false
  Select * from vw_Report_LoginSuccess
  where logindatetime between  dbo.DateFloor(@fromDate) and dbo.DateSieling(@toDate)
  And RTrim(Upper(RoleName)) = RTrim(Upper(@RoleName)) and Success=@Success
   End
   Else
   Begin
    -- fetch all
  Select * from vw_Report_LoginSuccess
  where logindatetime between  dbo.DateFloor(@fromDate) and dbo.DateSieling(@toDate)
  And RTrim(Upper(RoleName)) = RTrim(Upper(@RoleName))
   End

End
Else
Begin
   If @Success!=2
   Begin
  Select * from vw_Report_LoginSuccess
  where logindatetime between  dbo.DateFloor(@fromDate) and dbo.DateSieling(@toDate)
  and Success=@Success
 End
 Else
 Begin
  Select * from vw_Report_LoginSuccess
  where logindatetime between  dbo.DateFloor(@fromDate) and dbo.DateSieling(@toDate)
 End

End

and the view from which we can get the result set is

CREATE VIEW [dbo].[vw_Report_LoginSuccess]
AS
SELECT     '3' AS UserDetailID, dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.Success, CONVERT(varchar, dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.LoginDateTime, 101) AS LoginDateTime,
                      CONVERT(varchar, dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.LogoutDateTime, 101) AS LogoutDateTime, dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.TokenID,
                      dbo.tblUserDetail.SubscriberID, dbo.aspnet_Roles.RoleId, dbo.aspnet_Roles.RoleName
FROM         dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail INNER JOIN
                      dbo.tblUserDetail ON dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.UserDetailID = dbo.tblUserDetail.UserDetailID INNER JOIN
                      dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles ON dbo.tblUserDetail.UserID = dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles.UserId INNER JOIN
                      dbo.aspnet_Roles ON dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles.RoleId = dbo.aspnet_Roles.RoleId
WHERE     (dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.Success = 0)
UNION all
SELECT     dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.UserDetailID, dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.Success, CONVERT(varchar, dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.LoginDateTime, 101)
                      AS LoginDateTime, CONVERT(varchar, dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.LogoutDateTime, 101) AS LogoutDateTime, dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.TokenID,
                      dbo.tblUserDetail.SubscriberID, dbo.aspnet_Roles.RoleId, dbo.aspnet_Roles.RoleName
FROM         dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail INNER JOIN
                      dbo.tblUserDetail ON dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.UserDetailID = dbo.tblUserDetail.UserDetailID INNER JOIN
                      dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles ON dbo.tblUserDetail.UserID = dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles.UserId INNER JOIN
                      dbo.aspnet_Roles ON dbo.aspnet_UsersInRoles.RoleId = dbo.aspnet_Roles.RoleId
WHERE     (dbo.tblLoginStatusDetail.Success = 1) AND (dbo.tblUserDetail.SubscriberID LIKE N'P%')
