Thread: Restricting a VIEW.
Hello all,
I have a doubt. In the next example, I have a table with two columns:
- DATE
- MONEY
And a VIEW which SUM's the money GROUPing by 'month/year' (I cut off the day)...
Ok.. I would like to be able to SELECT * FROM VIEW.. but restricting by complete dates (dd/mm/yyyy)... (Last select in
theexample)
I think it isn't possible, but I would like to know your opinion... Or if there is any workaround...
Best regards..
--==============================
DROP TABLE ty_test;
CREATE TABLE ty_test (datein date NOT NULL, money numeric(6,2) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (datein)
) WITHOUT OIDS;
INSERT INTO ty_test VALUES ('2002/10/01',10);
INSERT INTO ty_test VALUES ('2002/10/15',20);
INSERT INTO ty_test VALUES ('2002/11/15',30);
DROP VIEW vw_ty_test;
CREATE VIEW vw_ty_test AS SELECT TO_CHAR(datein,'MM/YYYY') AS datein2, SUM(money) FROM ty_test
GROUP BY datein2;
SELECT * FROM ty_test; -- All rows from table.
SELECT * FROM vw_ty_test; -- All rows from view.
SELECT * FROM vw_ty_test WHERE datein BETWEEN '2002/10/01' AND '2002/10/9';

it without using a view: SELECT to_number(to_char(datein,'mm'),'99') as month,
to_number(to_char(datein,'yyyy'),'9999')as year, SUM(money) FROM ty_test WHERE datein BETWEEN
to_date('01/10/2002','mm/dd/yyyy')AND to_date('09/10/2002','mm/ddy/yyyy') ORDER BY
to_number(to_char(datein,'mm'),'99') to_number(to_char(datein,'yyyy'),'9999');

Hi Ludwig,
I need that like a VIEW because if I convert that view to a select, I
must to do that SELECT in a lot of client programs.
I would to know if I can to do any kind of VIEW with parameters...
Rewriting the view in the example:
DROP VIEW vw_ty_test;
CREATE VIEW vw_ty_test AS SELECT TO_CHAR(datein,'MM/YYYY') AS datein2, SUM(money) FROM ty_test
WHERE datein BETWEEN $Parameter1 AND $Parameter2 GROUP BY datein2;
is it possible ?? How ?
Thanks a lot...
