Re: Can an SQL common table expression be used for many different selects?

@Charles
Yes, I am using offset and fetch first, as you can see in the picture of my
last answer to you.

Are you LIMITing the cursor to 50 rows?

If you're using LIMIT/OFFEST or FETCH FIRST in the cursor, that would

make

sense.

I did it, but it doesn't work.

wTotalRows equals to 50 which is wRowsToRead instead of 994, as it

should

be.

Again, use the GET DIAGNOSTICS after the OPEN, not the FETCH.

The grouping stuff is in 7.2, some of the OLAP functions are, but

there's

been a bunch added.

I've just tried and it returns the number of fetched rows only, not

the

total result set length.

I'll take a look at those new features you suggested, hoping they

exist

at

V7R2 also.

Everything works fine, except the same static SQL statement is

GET DIAGNOSTIC DB2_NUMBER_ROWS is what you want to look at here.

If the previous SQL statement was an OPEN or a FETCH which caused

the

size of the result table to be known, returns the number of rows

in

the

result
table. For SENSITIVE cursors, this value can be thought of as an
approximation since rows inserted and deleted will affect the

next

retrieval of
this value. Otherwise, the value zero is returned.


Run it after you OPEN your cursor, before you FETCH.

Now, on the same data retrieved by this SQL statement, others

select

statements must be run to get some totals according to

different

group

by

clauses in order to present the data set distribution to the

final

user.

Have you looked at the OLAP functions in addition to ROLLUP, CUBE

and

grouping sets?

When I started writing SQL on the AS/400, (sub)totaling required

an

extra

statement.
That is no longer the case.
