Microsoft SQL Server OPENQUERY Query - ServiceNow Example

Following examples shows how to Get a list of incidents in Microsoft SQL Server using OPENQUERY Query. This command facilitates the execution of pass-through queries on remote servers. Below example is demonstrating the usage of OPENQUERY.

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([MY_LINKED_SERVER_NAME], 
'SELECT * FROM incident 

--Using Primary Key				
--SELECT * FROM any_table_here WHERE sys_id=''109562a3c611227500a7b7ff98cc0dc7'' --Primary Key in WHERE clause

--Using Filter Expression
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''number=INC0000001'') --Equal condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''number!=INC0000001'') --Not equal condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''numberININC0000001,INC0000002,INC0000003'') --IN condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''number=INC0000001^state=7'') --AND condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''number=INC0000001^ORnumber=INC0000002'') --OR condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''numberLIKE0001'') --LIKE condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''numberSTARTSWITHINC00'') --StartWith condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''numberENDSWITH0001'') --StartWith condition

Microsoft SQL Server EXEC Query - ServiceNow Example (Handling larger SQL text)

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

Fortunately, there is a solution. Starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT your_linked_server syntax. Following examples shows how to Get a list of incidents in Microsoft SQL Server using EXEC Query.

DECLARE @MyQyery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT * FROM incident 

--Using Primary Key				
--SELECT * FROM any_table_here WHERE sys_id=''109562a3c611227500a7b7ff98cc0dc7'' --Primary Key in WHERE clause

--Using Filter Expression
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''number=INC0000001'') --Equal condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''number!=INC0000001'') --Not equal condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''numberININC0000001,INC0000002,INC0000003'') --IN condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''number=INC0000001^state=7'') --AND condition
--SELECT * FROM incident WITH(Query=''number=INC0000001^ORnumber=INC0000002'') --OR condition
