A generic way of exporting, deleting and loading data, for database development work. It uses Flyway Teams, a PowerShell framework, JSON files for storage and a table manifest to define the correct order of dependency for each task. It should help a team maintain datasets between database versions, as well as to switch between the datasets required to support different types of testing.

Question of the Day

The Tightly Linked View

I try to run this code on SQL Server 2022. All the objects exist in the database.

CREATE OR ALTER VIEW OrderShipping
AS
SELECT cl.CityNameID,
       cl.CityName,
       o.OrderID,
       o.Customer,
       o.OrderDate,
       o.CustomerID,
       o.cityId
 FROM dbo.CityList AS cl
 INNER JOIN dbo.[Order] AS o ON o.cityId = cl.CityNameID
GO
CREATE OR ALTER FUNCTION GetShipCityForOrder
(
    @OrderID INT
)
RETURNS VARCHAR(50)
WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @city VARCHAR(50);
    SELECT @city = os.CityName
    FROM dbo.OrderShipping AS os
    WHERE os.OrderID = @OrderID;
    RETURN @city;
END;
go
What is the result?
