Then you might want to write examples in a pseudo-syntax that
/looks/ like SQL. I know this is a matter of taste, but your
examples look ugly to me. Consider:
-- Your example of a stored procedure that returns a result set, the
-- format of which can only be deduced by reading through the code.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GroupByShipCountry
@Employee Integer
AS
SELECT ShipCountry,Count(*) Cnt,Min(Freight) MinFrt,Max(Freight) MaxFrt
FROM Orders
WHERE EmployeeID=@Employee
GROUP BY ShipCountry
-- Your example of the same stored procedure rewritten in D4.
create operator GroupByShipCountry (Employee:Integer):
table{ShipCountry:String,Cnt:Integer,MinFrt:Money,MaxFrt:Money}
begin
result:=
Orders
where EmployeeID=Employee
group by {ShipCountry}
add{Count() Cnt,Min(Freight) MinFrt,Max(Freight) MaxFrt} ;
end;
-- My example of the same stored procedure rewritten in a
-- pseudo-extension of T-SQL.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GroupByShipCountry
@Employee Integer,
@ResultSet Table (
ShipCountry varchar(15),
Cnt int,
MinFrt money,
MaxFrt money
) output
AS
SELECT ShipCountry,
Count(*) Cnt,
Min(Freight) MinFrt,
Max(Freight) MaxFrt
INTO @ResultSet
FROM Orders
WHERE EmployeeID=@Employee
GROUP BY ShipCountry
