Can you select another query in a query? http://www.peoplesoftwiki.com/forum/t-201897/can-you-select-another-query-in-a-query Posts in the discussion thread "Can you select another query in a query?" - i.e. SELECT A.FIELD1, <PSQUERYNAME>, A.FIELD2 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:13:37 +0000 http://www.peoplesoftwiki.com/forum/t-201897#post-648572 Re: Can you select another query in a query? http://www.peoplesoftwiki.com/forum/t-201897/can-you-select-another-query-in-a-query#post-648572 Sat, 05 Dec 2009 00:05:32 +0000 Praj 52320 Hi, unfortunately I don't think this is possible in PeopleSoft Query. There's no way to reference a query in a select statement (you can of course use sub-queries in your criteria), and you can't have an expression with a FROM clause in it as it gives you an error (139,106). So that means you can't write (SELECT B.FIELDB FROM TABLE2 B) as an expression and use it as a field.

I think this is a pretty serious limitation. One way around this is to create a view that performs this sub-select and then to use that view in your query.

SELECT A.FIELD1, (SELECT B.FIELDB FROM TABLE2 B) FROM TABLE1 A
and it was suggested that I might be able to do this by making the embedded SELECT a separate query and then referencing it. Is this possible? If not, is there another way to do this?
