Oracle NVL Function
Jan 9, 2002Hi,
I want to know if there is a function in SQL Server that do the same thing than the Oracle function NVL()
In Oracle we can do the following thing :
select nvl(last_name,first_name)
from table_test;
This have the effect that if the last_name field is NULL, it will display the first_name
Is there a function like this in SQL 7
Thank

How To Translate Oracle Decode
Aug 2, 2006Hi,
How to translate oracle Decode without changed code I mean:
I have one application and instead to change all decode to case when I would like just replace decode for dbo.decode, so I
Wrote this function
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
first parameter always int, and the others parameters could be char, int or float.
I would like to test first value and return second or third value
-> sql_variant for all parameters, ok
but I can use + or -
I can't do this
select dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 ) + dbo.fnDecode( 1 , 2 , 3 )
If I put cast ok, but I is there another way, overload this call?
With clr doesn't work, because Sql Server doesn't accept function overload calls from C#
Any ideia????????????????????
cheers,

eg : select translate('entertain', 'et', 'ab') from dual.
I tried the SQL Server Replace function , but it replaces only one character or a sequence of character and not each occurrence of each of the specified characters given in the second argument i.e 'et'.
Please let me know if there is some other equivalent function in SQL Server

The error message is :provider can not derive parameter information and setparameterinfo has not been called.
Who have any idea about how to make it work?

Timeout Error While Executing Oracle Function
Jan 11, 2007Hi,
I have developed reports for Oracle database. I wanted to avoid use of OUT REF cursor hence am using function & calling it from reports.
The logic in SP/function is so complex that it takes 5 mins to execute n get the result. I see the results on the report server, But when I call that report from web application, I get System.Net.WebException - Time out error.
My questions:
1. What setting I make on report server to avoid timeout?
--Are these settings applied on report server restart?
2. Is there any setting needed for Datasource also?
TIA

Help Convert MS Access Function To MS SQL User Defined Function

Pass Output Of A Function To Another Function As Input

Using A Scalar Valued Function As A Parameter Of A Table Valued Function?
Feb 1, 2006Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)
Calling A Function From A Function?
Apr 11, 2008Hi All
Yesterday Peso was gracious enough to help me with creating function/views/sp's
I took those examples and extended what had from excel into function in SQL
however I see myself repeating certain parts of the query and i'm wondering if there is a way to call a function (in part or in whole) from another function?
Here are excerpts two functions I have:
We'll call this function UserUsage()
------------------------------------
RETURN(
SELECT ut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(Sum(hu.session_time)/ 60000) AS [Time Spent(MIN)],
Max(hu.time_stamp) AS [Last Log Date],
pct.Title, cat.topic_name
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable ut,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.history_usage hu,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.pc_CourseTitles pct,
ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.cam_topics cat
WHERE ut.student_id = hu.student_id
AND hu.course_id = pct.CourseID
AND hu.topic_id = cat.topic_id
AND ((ut.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (pct.ClientID=@ClientID)
AND (ut.GroupID=3400)
AND (hu.time_stamp>= @StartDate
And hu.time_stamp< @EndDate)
AND (hu.session_time<21600000))
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName, pct.Title, cat.topic_name
)
and will call this function UserSummary():
-----------------------------------------
RETURN (
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
FROM ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.UserTable AS ut
INNER JOIN ZSRIVENDEL.dbo.History_Usage AS hu
ON hu.Student_ID = ut.Student_ID
WHERE ut.ClientID = @ClientID
AND ut.GroupID = 3400
AND hu.Time_Stamp >= @StartDate
AND hu.Time_Stamp < @EndDate
AND hu.Session_Time < 21600000
GROUP BY ut.LastName, ut.FirstName
)
As you can see the first part of the both query are simlar. In particular the:
SELECTut.LastName, ut.FirstName,
CEILING(SUM(hu.Session_Time) / 60000.0) AS [Time Spent(MIN)]
and also the variables @StartDate and @EndDate.
In C# it would create a method and just call that method as well as the variables. However i'm not sure how to do that with sql functions. Could someone shed some light please?
Thank you!

VBA Function In SQL ??
Jun 9, 2004Hi,
I am upgrading an AccessXP database to SQL 2000 and have an issue with week numbers.
There is currently a piece of VBA that calculates the week number for time recording purposes using the DatePart function as
DefaultVal_WeekNo = DatePart("ww", TaxDate, vbMonday, vbFirstFourDays)
I have tried to get this replicated in SQL by using
declare @TaxDate as datetime
declare @TheWeek float
set @TaxDate = @TheDate -90 -7
set @TheWeek = cast(datepart("ww",@TheDate) as numeric (30))
-
cast(datediff("wk", @TaxDate, @TheDate) as numeric (30))
but this is not reurning the correct values, i belive this is because the VB function has the vbMonday argument.
Can anyone tell me how i can get wround this please?

I am having some difficulty with the Max function. I would expect it to return one row when you use it in a select statement (as long as there is truly one unique row)
Executing the query below give me the following result
select * from lead_with

id firm covacc avgFinal

80430 223 NULL 8.500000
80430 625 NULL 8.000000
Executing the next query give me the following results
select MAX(avgFinal), IBFirm

Not only does it return more than one row, it actually misses a row from

80430 122 18815 9.000000
I guess I am missing something. What I am trying to do is get the row with
