Good morning,
I just received a new assignment and I am struggling with finding an appropriate solution. I have searched through the SO Forums, and through Google, but have not found a workable solution. Below is my scenario:
We are working out of Microsoft Access to connect to an SQL Server Database via an ODBC Connection.
I wasgiven an incredibly large pass-through SQL query, larger than is able to be processed in MS Access. In this pass-through query, there is a subquery in a WITH...AS method.
I am hoping to be able to split this one, singularly large, SQL pass through query into two: Query One (the subquery), and Query Two (which references the results of the subquery)
I know that by using general Access queries, I can write a Macro like follows...
Sub myQuery()
' Edited from http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php?1667831-Run-multiple-queries-in-sequence-on-click
' On Error GoTo ErrHandler
' Run the first query
MsgBox "Starting first query"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "first_Query"
DoEvents
' Run the second query
MsgBox "Done. Now starting second query"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "second_Query"
DoEvents
MsgBox "Done!"
End Sub
However, these need to be pass-through queries. I believe that the enormously large SQL String is created via a number of user inputs. Regardless, I don't have the ability to change the pass-through SQL that I was given.
Is there anyway I can write a macro that calls the first pass-through query, and then calls the second pass-through query that REFERENCES the result of the first?
Here is an example with what I am working with...
WITH queryOne AS
(
SELECT fooID
FROM tblFoo
WHERE foodate > ...
)
SELECT foo, fooone, footwo, foothree
FROM tblOtherFoo
WHERE fooID = OtherFooID
However, the query is 50000+ characters, exceeding that ~37k limit.
Please feel free to ask any questions. I am stumped by this and would appreciate any feedback or alternative resources.
Thank you!
