Hi, I have the following problem: I include the same SQL snippet from multiple select statements, some of them for completely unrelated tables. This is done because these tables contain quite a few columns with the same names in both tables.
<sql id="inc"> name, value, foo, bar </sql> <select id="loadA"> select id, <include refid="inc" /> from A </select> <select id="loadB"> select id, <include refid="inc" /> from B </select> When including the list of columns, it would be quite handy to add a parameter to the include, for example to set a table alias in case I have a join between tables: <select id="loadA"> select a.id, b.id, <include refid="inc" /> from A a inner join B b on (b.id = a.id) where b.baz = #baz# </select> In the above query, "name", "value" etc are no longer unique in the query, most of the time you end up with the wrong values. It would be great if I would be able to pass in a parameter to the include, e.g.: <select id="loadA"> select a.id, b.id, <include refid="inc" param="a."/> from A a inner join B b on (b.id = a.id) where b.baz = #baz# </select> so I could have the SQL snippet defined like this: <sql id="inc"> $param$name, $param$value, $param$foo, $param$bar </sql> This way, all of the statements would still work and I could make sure that the correct columns are used in each case. Any ideas or comments? Thanks, Nils -- ================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED]
