Hello all,

I have a tough question that I hope can be fully explained and easily understood through text with little/no visual help.

Problem:
I have 5 queries that I run in a sequential order to get 5 different answers.

Query #1 uses a 'Identifying Code' to pull an 'Operating Number' and 'Phone Number'

Query #2 uses the 'Operating Number' from #1 to find an 'Operating Name'

Query #3 uses 'Identifying Code' to pull 'Server_Name'

Etc Etc....


But my problem (and reason I dont use 'Inner Join/Where' is that Query 2-5 use a single result from Query 1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I understand im being very vague with this question. Here is a post of my multi-stepped query:

--1.)
select
from dbo.DATA (nolock)
where place like ('Texas') and BLOCK_ID='A'
order by place

--2.)
select *
from dbo.DATA_NAME
where call_number in ('1234')

--3.)
--a.
select *
from dbo.DATA_CallNAme
where place in ('Texas')

--b.
select *
from city
where city = 'Dallas'
and Status = 'Active'


--4.)
select*
from phone_list
where phone_first='906' and phone_last='676'

It is important to note that phone_first, phone_last, city, and call_number are generated by #1.

Is it possible to have the remaining queries auto-populate with these answers??

Using #1, put them all into variables and then use those variables for your further queries.

something like:

IF #1 returns ONLY one result

declare all variables...

select @phone_first = phone_first, @phone_last = phone_last, @place = place, @call_number = call_number
from dbo.DATA (nolock)
where place like ('Texas') and BLOCK_ID='A'
order by place

IF #2 could possible return more than one result

INSERT all results from #1 into a temp table

following.. in #2 - #5.. WHERE xxxx IN () etc.. should work
