Remarks
The SqlExpression element contains the core query for generating notifications, which selects subscription and input fields and adds them to the notification table.
The query must select subscription and input fields from a view that joins subscription and input data. Subscription fields in the view have names in the form [Subscription.SubscriptionFieldName]. Input (event) fields have names in the form [Input.EventFieldName].
Subscribers create the equivalent of the WHERE clause for the query in their subscriptions through a subscription management interface. Notification Services evaluates the condition actions for all relevant subscriptions and then generates notifications.
For more information about condition actions, and a template for the Transact-SQL expression, see Defining Condition Actions.
Example
The following example shows how to define a condition action. The query in the Transact-SQL expression selects data from the MyAppSchema.WeatherEventRule view, which contains data from the subscription class and from the MyAppSchema.WeatherEvents event view.
<ConditionAction>
<SqlLogin>[MyLowPrivLogin]</SqlLogin>
<SqlUser>[MyLowPrivUser]</SqlUser>
<InputName>WeatherEvents</InputName>
<InputSchema>MyAppSchema</InputSchema>
<SqlExpression>
INSERT INTO MyAppSchema.WeatherNotifications(SubscriberId,
DeviceName, SubscriberLocale, City, Forecast)
SELECT [Subscription.SubscriberId], [Subscription.DeviceName],
[Subscription.SubscriberLocale], [Input.City],
[Input.Forecast])
FROM MyAppSchema.WeatherEventRule;
</SqlExpression>
</ConditionAction>
