Hi,

In SSIS when you create a variable for a package, I know how to create a SQL statement in the variables expression, but is it possible to assign the result of the SQL statement in the expression to a variable and then used as a parameter in an Execute SQL Task?

I know this can be done using two Execute SQL task where first Execute SQL task runs the SQL query that I am looking to use in an expression, then second Execute SQL task uses value found in first Execute SQL task as a parameter, but I am trying to process both in one Execute SQL task. Can this be done please?

Thanks

What I have tried:

Viewed numerous youTube tutorials, attempted several various methods but Expression built SQL just shows SQL text in variable assigned to it

hello !

you can use 'sub query','nest query' :
it's simple, one query will use another query as 'input parameter' as criteria.


// above two queries in one statement.

select * from 'table' where id IN ( select id from 'another_table' )

I have implemented this using a sub-query within the INSERT INTO in the SSIS SQL task's SQL statement. I first created the required SSIS package variables that will be used as input parameters to the SQL task then the additional value required form SQL is in sub-query within the VALUES portion of the INSERT INTO. I was not previously aware you could use a sub-query within the VALUES portion of INSERT INTO

INSERT INTO myTable1 (ColumnA, ColumnB, ColumnC)
Values (?, ?, (SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM myTable2));
