I get the error (in red) below when I run this stored procedure (I'm not running in my app but in Query Analyzer) -- Please help me fix this
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.sp_Employee_GetEmployeeLNameFNameEmpID
(
@.facilityID nvarchar(2),
@.companyID nvarchar(2),
@.deptID nvarchar(20),
@.Period int
)
AS
SELECT e.LastName + ',' + e.FirstName + ' - ' + e.EmployeeID AS ListBoxText, e.EmployeeID, e.LastName + ',' + e.FirstName AS FullName FROM Employee e
WHERE e.DeptID = @.deptID AND e.FacilityID = @.facilityID AND e.CompanyID = @.companyID AND e.EmployeeID <> (SELECT ev.EmployeeID FROM EmployeeEval ev
WHERE PeriodID= @.Period)
GO
Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_Employee_GetEmployeeLNameFNameEmpID, Line 9
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
WHICH employee do you want from the ev table?
It looks to me like you want a NOT IN instead:
SELECT
e.LastName + ','+ e.FirstName + ' - ' + e.EmployeeID AS ListBoxText,
e.EmployeeID,
e.LastName + ',' + e.FirstName AS FullName
FROM Employee e
WHEREe.DeptID = @.deptID
AND e.FacilityID = @.facilityID
AND e.CompanyID =@.companyID
AND e.EmployeeID NOT IN
(SELECT ev.EmployeeID
FROMEmployeeEval ev
WHERE PeriodID= @.Period)

Sweet worked perfectly -- my book showed the IN part but I didn't know about the NOT IN.
Thanks a million.
