Read account details (selected columns)

Gets only the columns you specify from the current user's account. List the desired columns in the SELECT clause.

Standard SQL query example

This is the base query accepted by the connector. To execute it in SQL Server, you have to pass it to the Data Gateway via a Linked Server. See how to accomplish this using the examples below.

SELECT AccountId, LoginId, AccountName, Email, FirstName, LastName, UserName, AvatarUrl, Role, MemberSince, PricingPlanType, FirstPayment, AccountTimeZone, AccountIndustry, ContactCompany, ContactAddress1, ContactAddress2, ContactCity, ContactState, ContactZip, ContactCountry, ProEnabled, LastLogin, TotalSubscribers 
FROM get_user_details

Using OPENQUERY in SQL Server

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([LS_TO_MAILCHIMP_IN_GATEWAY], 'SELECT AccountId, LoginId, AccountName, Email, FirstName, LastName, UserName, AvatarUrl, Role, MemberSince, PricingPlanType, FirstPayment, AccountTimeZone, AccountIndustry, ContactCompany, ContactAddress1, ContactAddress2, ContactCity, ContactState, ContactZip, ContactCountry, ProEnabled, LastLogin, TotalSubscribers 
FROM get_user_details')

Using EXEC in SQL Server (handling larger SQL text)

The major drawback of OPENQUERY is its inability to incorporate variables within SQL statements. This often leads to the use of cumbersome dynamic SQL (with numerous ticks and escape characters).

Fortunately, starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT [LS_TO_MAILCHIMP_IN_GATEWAY] syntax.

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT AccountId, LoginId, AccountName, Email, FirstName, LastName, UserName, AvatarUrl, Role, MemberSince, PricingPlanType, FirstPayment, AccountTimeZone, AccountIndustry, ContactCompany, ContactAddress1, ContactAddress2, ContactCity, ContactState, ContactZip, ContactCountry, ProEnabled, LastLogin, TotalSubscribers 
FROM get_user_details'
EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_MAILCHIMP_IN_GATEWAY]
