SQL Query to get the values of an option set of Dynamic CRM


SQL Query to get Option set value of Dynamic CRM

Description:

In this example we explain that how to get Option set values from SQL Server in an application outside dynamic CRM. Or how to fetch the text value of the option set (Dropdown list) in Dynamic CRM.

There are many question raised when we are new in Dynamic CRM like

Where does Microsoft Dynamic CRM stores Option Set values in SQL Server?
How to retrieve the values of an option set of dynamic CRM?
Microsoft Dynamic CRM store Option Set values in the StringMapBase table. You will query via object code, Attribute Name, Option Set Value, Language Id and then it will returns the attribute value.

You can also create a one function in SQL Server that will returns the attribute value so you can easily use it multiple time like the below example

Function:
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_new_GetStringMapValue]
(
 @EntityName nvarchar(100),
    @AttributeName nvarchar(100),
    @AttributeValue int
)
RETURNS nvarchar(4000)
AS
BEGIN
    DECLARE @Result nvarchar(4000)
    SELECT @Result = Value
   
from StringMapBase t1
inner join MetadataSchema.Entity t2 on t1.ObjectTypeCode = t2.ObjectTypeCode
where t2.Name =@EntityName and t1.AttributeName = @AttributeName AND AttributeValue = @AttributeValue and t2.OverwriteTime = '1900-01-01'

    RETURN @Result
END

Here in the above function EntityNmae is the name of the CRM entity like Lead,Opportunity etc..and AttributeName define the coloumn name of the entity for which you want to get the Attribute value and finally attribute value define the value of the attribute name.

How to call this function to get the option set value.

For example suppose you wants to get the LeadSource Option set value of the Lead then you will easily perform the following query.

Select LeadSourceCode,dbo.fn_new_GetStringMapValue('Lead','LeadSourceCode',LeadSourceCode) as 'Lead Source' from Lead

In above query ‘Lead’ is the EntityName ‘LeadSourceCode’ is the AttributeName and LeadSource means its value like 1,2,3 etc.. Defines the attribute value

Finally output of the above query like

    )
    OR
    (

    r.IsOdd = 0
    AND r.RecordNumber IN (MedianPoint, MedianPoint + 1)
    )
    GROUP BY
    r.Name
    ;

  2. SELECT CONVERT(FLOAT,
    (
    (SELECT MAX(Score) FROM
    (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Demo ORDER BY Score ASC) AS BottomHalf))
    + CONVERT(FLOAT,
    (SELECT MIN(Score) FROM
    (SELECT TOP 50 PERCENT Score FROM Demo ORDER BY Score DESC) AS TopHalf)
    ) / 2) AS Median

  3. SQL 'LIKE' query using '%' where the search criteria contains '%'

    select new_probability,* from OpportunityBase where new_Probability is not null and new_probability LIKE '%\%\%' escape '\'
