Hi,
I have a job with multiple sql tasks (15), now all these tasks needs a temporary table with some value and a match needs to be made against it.

My question is, is it possible to use result set of one task and use it in another sql task?

I hope there is an easier way then to create the same temp table in all 15 task.

Hi Karthik,

Are you a customer today? I need to place you in your company portal to keep things organized if you are (or what is your company email? we prefer users using company emails rather than yahoo/gmail)

As for your question, first, what version are you using?

It is possible, but it's tedious. It really depends on how you want the result set to be used. For example, if you have a query that returns a value that you want to use in a subsequent query, you could pass it into the subsequent query something like this:


select *
from table_a
where criteria_1 = '{TASK(Query1TaskID|StdOut)}'


But that method would only work if the first query returns only a single value. If your first query returns multiple fields,


select *
from table_a
where criteria_1 = '{STRING(GetColumn|1|1|,|{TASK(Query1TaskID|StdOut)})}'
and criteria_2 = '{STRING(GetColumn|1|2|,|{TASK(Query1TaskID|StdOut)})}'


If your first query returns 1 field but multiple records, you could have your first query set up to return something in CSV format, something like this:


select '"' || field_1 || '","
from table_a


That would return results something like this:


"result 1",
"result 2",
"result 3"


And then you could set up your subsequent query like this:


select *
from table_a
where criteria_1 in ({TASK(Query1TaskID|StdOut)})
