# ExecuteSectionN

In some cases, you must create multiple `[Execute]` sections to execute several SQL statements. If this is set, it executes the `SQLStatement` in each of the sections for each row returned by the current query.

NOTE: This parameter is not normally required. You can usually create a view that contains all the required data and which requires only a single statement that is configured in the `[ODBC]` section.

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | Database Repository or Execute
Example: |
    [ODBC]
    GroupServerLibrary=ogs_odbc.dll
    ConnectionString=DSN=Groups
    ExecuteSection0=ODBC_GetUsers

    [ODBC_GetUsers]
    SQLStatement=SELECT DISTINCT Username FROM Groups
    AddType=USER
    UserColumn=Username
    ExecuteSection0=ODBC_GetGroups

    [ODBC_GetGroups]
    SQLStatement=SELECT Groupname FROM Groups WHERE Username='@(Username)'
    AddType=USERGROUP
    UserColumn=@(Username)
    GroupColumn=Groupname
In this example, no SQL statement is found in the `[ODBC]` section. The SQL statement in the `[ODBC_GetUsers]` section is executed and usernames are retrieved. For each username returned by the `[ODBC_GetUsers]` query, the SQL statement in the `[ODBC_GetGroups]` section is executed with the appropriate value of @(Username) and the group names are extracted. In this case, multiple execute sections are not necessary and the configuration can be simplified:
    [ODBC]
    GroupServerLibrary=ogs_odbc.dll
    ConnectionString=DSN=Groups
    SQLStatement=SELECT Username, Groupname FROM Groups
    AddType=USERGROUP
    UserColumn=Username
    GroupColumn=Groupname
NOTE: `AddType=USER` is not required, because it is implied by the `AddType=USERGROUP`.
