I am using an historian to search for certain values of a specific tag. The historian has certain rules, such as, I cannot create or drop tables, queries need tagnames etc.
I want to search a TagName 'Tank1' for example and return its DateTime and Value results, then search further Tags using these results to match those tags that have the same Values at that DateTime.
I search 'Tank1' between a given date and time and receive 4 results as below
2021-11-02 08:00:54.9870000 | 1 |
2021-11-02 10:22:27.9850000 | 1 |
2021-11-02 11:47:31.3360000 | 2 |
2021-11-02 23:11:57.8120000 | 2 |
So, I need to search four other Tags and return results that match the dateTime and value.
The below code is what I have produced (I should now tell you that I am a virtual novice)
DECLARE @AT1Value INT,
@AT1DateTime DateTime
SELECT @AT1Value = Value, --GETS THE VALUES OF AT1 STERILISER
@AT1DateTime = DateTime --GETS THE DATETIME OF AT1 STERILISER VALUES
From Runtime.dbo.v_History
Where
Runtime.dbo.v_History.Tagname = 'AT1_Select_ster'
AND Runtime.dbo.v_History.DateTime >= '2021-11-02 08:00'
AND Runtime.dbo.v_History.DateTime <= '2021-11-03 08:01'
AND Runtime.dbo.v_History.Value > 0
Select a.DateTime,
a.TagName,
a.Value
From Runtime.dbo.v_History AS a --GETS THE VALUES OF THE FM TAGS AT THE DATETIME OF AT1 STERILISER VALUES
Where
((a.TagName = 'FM_S1_Batch' AND a.Value = @AT1Value AND a.DateTime = @AT1DateTime)
OR (a.Tagname = 'FM_S2_batch' AND a.Value = @AT1Value AND a.DateTime = @AT1DateTime)
OR (a.Tagname = 'FM_S3_batch' AND a.Value = @AT1Value AND a.DateTime = @AT1DateTime)
OR (a.Tagname = 'FM_S4_batch' AND a.Value = @AT1Value AND a.DateTime = @AT1DateTime))
AND a.Value > 0
This works fine, albeit it only produces the last dateTime and Value result below,
2021-11-02 23:11:57.8120000 | FM_S2_batch 2 |
Am I right in assuming this is because the Variable is being overwritten each time and only holding the last values?
The results that should be returned should look something like the results below
2021-11-02 08:00:54.9870000 | FM_S1_batch 1 |
2021-11-02 10:22:27.9850000 | FM_S1_batch 1 |
2021-11-02 11:47:31.3360000 | FM_S2_batch 2 |
2021-11-02 23:11:57.8120000 | FM_S2_batch 2 |
Is there anyway I can do several scans and save each result until I have all the results needed? or is there an easier more suitable method (which I am guessing there is).
TIA
Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply to my problem. I finally got it working using a cursor thanks to @EdmCoff for suggesting trying a for-loop or a cursor.
The for-loop returned the last value 4 times so I tried the cursor and it worked for me.
I have posted the code that works for me below
DECLARE @AT1Value INT,
@AT1DateTime DateTime
DECLARE cursor_result CURSOR
FOR SELECT Runtime.dbo.v_History.Value,
Runtime.dbo.v_History.DateTime
From Runtime.dbo.v_History
Where
Runtime.dbo.v_History.Tagname = 'AT1_Select_ster'
AND Runtime.dbo.v_History.DateTime >= '2021-11-02 08:00'
AND Runtime.dbo.v_History.DateTime <= '2021-11-04 08:01'
AND Runtime.dbo.v_History.Value > 0
OPEN cursor_result
FETCH NEXT FROM cursor_result INTO
@AT1Value,
@AT1DateTime
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
Select a.DateTime,
a.TagName,
a.Value
From Runtime.dbo.v_History AS a
Where
((a.TagName = 'FM_S1_Batch' AND a.Value = @AT1Value AND a.DateTime = @AT1DateTime)
OR (a.Tagname = 'FM_S2_batch' AND a.Value = @AT1Value AND a.DateTime = @AT1DateTime)
OR (a.Tagname = 'FM_S3_batch' AND a.Value = @AT1Value AND a.DateTime = @AT1DateTime)
OR (a.Tagname = 'FM_S4_batch' AND a.Value = @AT1Value AND a.DateTime = @AT1DateTime))
AND a.Value > 0
FETCH NEXT FROM cursor_result INTO
@AT1Value,
@AT1DateTime
END
CLOSE cursor_result
DEALLOCATE cursor_result
