问题
I have a table to which I would like to add a calculated column. The query I want to set it to is more complex than a standard arithmetic operation and I am unsure how to set up the calculated column using the query. I attempted to use an ALTER TABLE statement:
ALTER TABLE shareholder.Amount
ADD CalculatedAmount As
(SELECT sum(Amount) FROM shareholder.TransactionInput T
WHERE T.ShareClassLabel = Amount.ShareClassLabel
AND T.ValuationDate < Amount.NAVDate
GROUP BY T.ShareClassLabel)
But this results in an error: 'Subqueries are not allowed in this context. Only scalar expressions are allowed'. I know the sub-query itself works correctly having tested it on its own so it's just a matter of working out how to set the calculated column to be the result of it.
Thanks! (I am using SQL Server 2014 Management Studio)
回答1:
It is not possible to have a Computed Column with a Sub Query,
A computed column is computed from an expression that can use other columns in the same table.
So it is not possible to have A Query but you can use Expressions Like
ColumnA-ColumnB+ColumnC
Instead, you can convert it as a View and Compute The Column values there
Like this
CREATE VIEW MyComputedvIEW
AS
SELECT
*,
CalculatedAmount = (SELECT sum(Amount) FROM shareholder.TransactionInput T
WHERE T.ShareClassLabel = Amount.ShareClassLabel
AND T.ValuationDate < Amount.NAVDate
GROUP BY T.ShareClassLabel)
FROM YourTable
