Building Query based on Column name provided in another table

I want to build a dynamic query based on structure provided in another table.



Here is an example how I want to build query based on above table-



select tbl1.col1,tbl1.col2,
tbl2.t2col1,tbl2.t2col2,tbl2.t2col3,tbl2.t2col3,
tbl3.t3col1,tbl3.t3col2,tbl3.t3col3,tbl3.t3col4
from tbl1
inner join tbl2 on tbl1.col1=tbl2.t2col1 and tbl1.col2=tbl2.t2col2
inner join tbl3 on tbl1.col1=tbl3.t3col1 and tbl1.col2 = tbl3.t2col2

    Code inside a table always seems like a good idea early in your database development career. Then you realise it isn't

  • You're probably going to need to use dynamic SQL to achieve this. By the way, you could probably improve the structure of your table.

  • @Sagar: It looks like you are trying to build a Table -> SQL Query compiler, effectively. I think this is a bad approach. Much simpler and much more flexible is to just store the query text in a table. Please avoid creating a compiler, as it is likely to not be as expressive or as readable as a pure SQL statement.
