Thread: SQL equivalent to nested loop

SQL equivalent to nested loop

From

Hi,

I basically need the SQL equivalent of the following pseudo code:

BEGIN
FOR v IN SELECT * FROM f(4, 'foo') LOOP   FOR w IN SELECT * FROM f(v.id, 'bar') LOOP       RETURN NEXT W   END LOOP;
END LOOP;
RETURN;

Is that possible in SQL?

This is basicly a Join, a cross table

i.e.

select b.w from  table a, table b where ...

You'd hope that. The problem is that you don't have the tables and
afterwards specify the join condition, but in specifying the tables
(=calling the function) you have the join condition already. I can't
figure out the right syntax. What are you proposing?

SELECT * from f(4, 'foo') as b, f(b.int, 'bar')?

oocms=# select * from object_get_list_of_reference_property(311,
'Themen') as b, object_get_list_of_reference_property(b.object_id,
'Objekte');
ERROR:  ?????????????? ????????? ??
FROM ?? ????? ????????? ?? ?????? ????????? ?? ??? ?? ?????? ???????

I can't get an english error message atm :/, but that doesn't work.

Instead of tablenames just use functions (tablefunctions)

like my example
select a."Id", a."Code" from "GetLanguages"() a,  "GetLanguages"() b
"2","en"
"2","en"
"1","de"
"1","de"
