Call SQL Query from another SQL Server Query (Management Studio)

Question

I know this is redundant, but I'd like to Call Query from another Query. I know I can just add it to first one, but the scripts are getting long and at times I don't want to run all of the queries.

I've been looking and my best guess is maybe just using command shell. I was just wondering if there was another way.

Declare @CommandDos VarChar(150) = 'sqlcmd -E -S Server-i h:\SQL\SomeThing.sql'
EXEC master..xp_cmdshell @CommandDos

Answer 1

Code re-use. Perhaps use functions, ie put the query you want called into a function.

Functions can be Scalar, Table-valued, Deterministic, or Nondeterministic.

Answer 2

Maybe you can create stored procedures with the queries, then call them inside another one if needed.

What do you think about it?
