It's not often that such a great example of when not to use cursors comes up. This appears to be a very straightforward query:

DECLARE @start DATETIME

SELECT @start = MAX(SessionEndDate) FROM...

Edit: completely misunderstood the question. Where's the coffee?

Can't you ask your boss?

The reason I'm asking is because - if (s)he isn't aware that your script can't be shaped into a view, (s)he probably isn't aware that...

My boss wants this script as a view, and I told him you cant put this in a view, just wanted to make sure im right.

Thanks for your help...

Another way:

,row_number() over (

partition by AD.UnitNumber,AD.AccountNumber order by AD.VisitID) as [Index]

,COUNT(*) over (partition by AD.UnitNumber,AD.AccountNumber) as [MaxIndex]

filter on [Index] = 1 OR [Index] = [MaxIndex]

What's going to consume the result set from the view? How will it handle an unknown number of columns with some unknown names? Can't you concatenate the variable address elements...

Nice work, Helmi. The best possible outcome here is when the OP - that's you - figures out the problem themselves given a few pointers.

The BETWEEN range ends at 'V'. If you have a vendor with exactly this value then it will be included. Vendors called 'V' + anything else will be excluded because...

Eliminating rows with a null value could play havoc with your [Status] values. Try this to see what I mean:

selectdistinct

ph.ProdHeaderOrdNr,

ph.PartCode,

ph.[Description],

ph.Qty,

[Status] = (

select max(psl.ProdStatusCode)

from ProdStatusLog psl

where psl.ProdHeaderDossierCode = ph.ProdHeaderDossierCode),

[Uitgifte] =...

Here's your query rewritten to replace old-style joins and with table aliases to reduce noise:

selectdistinct

ph.ProdHeaderOrdNr,

ph.PartCode,

ph.[Description],

ph.Qty,

[Status] = (

select max(psl.ProdStatusCode)

from ProdStatusLog psl

where psl.ProdHeaderDossierCode = ph.ProdHeaderDossierCode),

[Uitgifte] = (

select max(psl.LastUpdatedOn)

from ProdStatusLog psl

where psl.ProdHeaderDossierCode...

What datatype is the input column? Remove the CAST, it's unnecessary overhead.

Here's a pure TSQL method to compare with Lowell's string-concatenation method.
