Can I call a Stored Procedure in a function?
I created a SP:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.test_sp AS
BEGIN
select * from STOCK
END
GO
and I tried to create a function like that:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.test_fn ()
RETURNS int AS
BEGIN
declare @a int
select @a = sto_id from dbo.test_sp
return @a
END
as seen the function uses the test_sp.but that gives syntax error. How can I do this?
thanks.
Hello,
I am trying to call a SQL Function in C#, as I want to get the value binded back to the column in a datagrid.
Any answers will be appreciated ...............Urgent.
:)
I'm calling a function with its full qualifiers.
That means servername.dbname.schemaname.functionname
I'm getting an error like this
Invalid column name 'servername'.
Is it possible to call a function name with its server name?
Thanks

I need to know if there's any way to call a VB function from within an SQl statement. We have text in Rich Text format in a database and need it converted to regular text before we are able to perform searches on the data. Maybe I can use a stored procedure to accomplish this conversion or to call a function that would do this? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
I have created a user function
the only way i can use this function is by specifying dbo. as prefix of the function
example
SELECT column1, dbo.MyFunc(column2)
FROM mytable
what i want is something like this
SELECT column1, MyFunc(column2)
FROM mytable
is this possible?
I have the next Function:
CREATE FUNCTION F_StoreName

@strSQLString nvarchar(500),
@strParmDefinition nvarchar(500)
--set @strTienda='003'
SET @strSQLString = N'select @StoreName = max(nombre) ' +

When I call this function:
select dbo.F_StoreName('002') as x
It sent me next error:
Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.
I'm faced with a situation where I will need to calculate a column fora resultset by calling a component written as a VB6 DLL, passingparameters from the resultset to the component and setting (orupdating) a column with the result. I thought that perhaps the bestway out would be to create a UDF that passes the parameters to the VBcomponent using the sp_oa* OLE stored procs.For a test, I created an ActiveX DLL in VB6 (TestDLL) with someproperties and methods. I then created a function that creates theobject, sets the required properties and returns a result. I usesp_oaDestroy at the end of the function to remove the objectreference. The function seems to work surprisingly well except for asmall problem; when I use the function to calculate a column for aresultset with more that one row, the DLL appears to stay locked up("the file is being used by another person or program"). This leavesme with the impression that the object reference is not beingdestroyed. I have to stop/restart the SQL Server in order to free theDLL.Question:Is the UDF approach the best way? I don't like the idea of creatingand destroying the object at every pass which is what the UDF does.As an alternative, I suppose that I could have a single SP where Icreate the OLE object once, loop through the result set with a cursorand do my processing/updating, then close the OLE object. I must saythat I'm not too fond of that approach either.Thanks for your help,Bill E.Hollywood, FL(code is below)___________________________--Test the functionCreate Table #TestTable(Field1 int)INSERT INTO #TestTable VALUES (1)INSERT INTO #TestTable VALUES (2)SELECT Field1, dbo.fnTest(Field1,4) AS CalcColFROM #TestTableDrop Table #TestTable___________________________CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnTest/*This function calls a VB DLL*/(--input variables@intValue1 smallint,@intValue2 smallint)RETURNS integerASBEGIN--Define the return variable and the counterDeclare @intReturnValue smallintSet @intReturnValue=0--Define other variablesDeclare @intObject intDeclare @intResult intDeclare @intError intSet @intError=0If @intError = 0exec @intError=sp_oaCreate 'TestDLL.Convert', @intObject OUTPUTIf @intError = 0exec @intError = sp_OASetProperty @intObject,'Input1', @intValue1If @intError = 0exec @intError = sp_OASetProperty @intObject,'Input2', @intValue2If @intError = 0exec @intError = sp_oamethod @intObject, 'Multiply'If @intError = 0exec @intError = sp_oagetproperty @intObject,'Output',@intReturnValue OutputIf @intError = 0exec @intError = sp_oadestroy @intObjectRETURN @intReturnValueEND

I have VS 2003 & SQL Server 2005.I have created VB.NET console application which calls various function. Based on data insertion/ updatation in SQL 2005 I need to call function from my VB.NET application.

hai,
the problem is - I have created a userdefined function using SQL 2000
create function getfulldate (@date varchar(10))returns datetimeasbegindeclare @getfulldate datetime set @getfulldate = dateadd (mi,55,@date)
return @getfulldateend
and normally we call this in the SQL statements as
select *, dbo.getfulldate('2006-05-03') from emp
This works fine and what I need was, I need to invoke the user-defined function like
select *, getfulldate('2006-05-03') from emp that is, without using "dbo".
If I call in that manner, it gives error as - 'getfulldate' is not a recognized function name.
So, here what is the purpose of dbo and can I call in my desired manner as mentioned above.
anyone guide me, thanks!
Hello all,
I'm trying to construct a select statement in a stored procedure that filters based on the returned values of a number of functions. My function works fine, but when I try to call the function from the stored procedure I get an error.
I'm going to try explain the thought process behind what I'm doing. Hope I make enough sense.The purpose of the stored procedure is to perform a wildcard search on a tool. The tool contains a number of FK that link to different tables (e.g., manufacturer, vendor). So I'm creating functions that also search the manufacturer and vendor and return the matching IDs.
Example of tool SELECT statement:SELECT tool_number, tool_description
FROM tool
WHERE tool_manufacturer IN (UDFmanufacturer_SearchName(@search_string)
This gives me an error:'UDFmanufacturer_SearchName' is not a recognized built-in function name.
Function code (removed some wrapping code for simplicity):SELECT manufacturer_id
FROM manufacturer
WHERE manufacturer_name LIKE '%' + @search_string + '%'These statements both work if I run a independent query: SELECT *
FROM UDFmanufacturer_SearchName('mol') SELECT *
FROM tool
WHERE tool_manufacturer IN (SELECT *FROM UDFmanufacturer_SearchName('mol')) This code fails:SELECT *
FROM ato_tool
WHERE ato_tool_manufacturer IN (UDFmanufacturer_SearchName('mol'))
I'm stuck. I haven't been able to find anything that shows me where I'm going wrong. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks,Jay

Hi 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!
I have the following procedure, that calls a Padding function to pad characters to a field.
Here is what the procedure looks like
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Pad_Left]
@Table VARCHAR(255),
@Column VARCHAR(255),
@PadChar CHAR(1),
@PadToLen INT
AS
DECLARE @Query Varchar(5000)
SET @Query = 'UPDATE ' + @Table + '
SET ' + @Column + ' = dbo.Function_PadLeft(' + @Column + ', ''' + @PadChar + ''', ' + @PadToLen + ')'
EXECUTE(@Query)
GO
When I run this I get the error
Server: Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Pad_Left, Line 13
Syntax error converting the varchar value 'UPDATE Lincoln
SET baths = dbo.Function_PadLeft(baths, '0', ' to a column of data type int.
But when I just run this query, it works
Code:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Pad_Left]
@Table VARCHAR(255),
@Column VARCHAR(255),
@PadChar CHAR(1),
@PadToLen INT
AS
UPDATE Lincoln
SET Baths = dbo.Function_PadLeft(Baths, '0', 4)
GO
Why would one work but not the other? I don't understand, as they are the same thing, just one calls the function dynamically?
I must be missing something very obvious
Thanks for any help!

Hi, all
I'm using Sql server 2000
I want to make select statement dynamically and return table using function.
in sp, I've done this but, in function I don't know how to do so.
(I have to create as function since our existing API..)
Following is my tials...
1.
alter Function fnTest
( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime)
RETURNS Table
AS
RETURN Exec spTest @from, @to
GO
Yes, it give syntax error..
2. So, I found the following
From Sql Server Books Online, Remark section of CREATE FUNCTION page of Transact-SQL Reference , it says following..
"The following statements are allowed in the body of a multi-statement function. Statements not in this list are not allowed in the body of a function: "
.....
* EXECUTE statements calling an extended stored procedures.
So, I tried.
alter Function fnTest
( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime)
RETURNS Table
AS
RETURN Exec master..xp_msver
GO
It doesn't work... syntax err...
Here I have quick question.. How to execute statements calling an extended stored procedures. any examples?
Now, I'm stuck.. how can I create dynamic select statement using function?
I want to know if it's possible or not..
I have several UDFs created. Inside one of the UDFs I need to execute a dynamic SQL statement and then take that result and do something else with it, before returning the final value.
I know you can not execute a stored proce from inside a function. I also know you can not use the EXEC statement.
I did read that you could use an external stored procedure and/or managed CLR procedures inside a function.
I have created a managed procedure CLR (C#) that simply executes a passed statemetn and returns the value to the calling routine. I have this all coded and is working fine.
However, I am struggling with knowing how to call this CLR procedure from inside my function, seeing how I can not use EXEC statement.
Any advice on how to do this?
Thanks,
Bruce
How Do I fix View(below) or Multi-Table select(below) to use this Function to return distinct rows via qcParent_ID?
Following Function populates a field (with concat list of related titles) with other required fields:
Create Function [dbo].openItemsIntoList(@Delimeter varchar(15),@qcparent_ID varchar(1000))
Returns Varchar(8000) as
Begin
Declare @Lists as varchar(8000);
Select @Lists = '';
Select @Lists = @Lists + itemTitle + @Delimeter From z_QClocate_openAll_Qualifier
Where @qcParent_ID = qcParent_ID;
Return Substring(@Lists,1,len(@Lists)-len(@Delimeter));
End
works perfect against single table select (returning 54 distinct rows by qcParent_ID):
Select a.qcParent_ID, a.Facility, a.Modality, openItemListToFix
From dbo.a2_qcEntryForm a
JOIN (Select DISTINCT qcParent_ID, dbo.openItemsIntoList(' / AND ',qcParent_ID) as openItemListToFix FROM dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix) i
on a.qcParent_ID = i.qcParent_ID
But data is needed from 3 tables...
- Created a VIEW that returns all (82) rows (negating distinct of the function on qcParent_ID)
- Failed Miserably Integrating Function call into a multi-table select (inexperienced with complex joins)
This VIEW returns ALL (82) rows in table:
CREATE VIEW z_QClocate_openAll AS
SELECT dbo.a1_qcParent.qcStatus, dbo.a1_qcParent.qcAlert, dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix.qcParent_ID, dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix.qcEntryForm_ID,
dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix.itemComplete, dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix.itemTitle, dbo.a2_qcEntryForm.Facility, dbo.a2_qcEntryForm.Modality
FROM dbo.a1_qcParent INNER JOIN
dbo.a2_qcEntryForm ON dbo.a1_qcParent.qcParent_ID = dbo.a2_qcEntryForm.qcParent_ID INNER JOIN
dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix ON dbo.a2_qcEntryForm.qcEntryForm_ID = dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix.qcEntryForm_ID AND
dbo.a1_qcParent.qcParent_ID = dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix.qcParent_ID
WHERE (dbo.a1_qcParent.qcStatus = 'Awaiting Attn') AND (dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix.itemComplete = 0) OR
(dbo.a1_qcParent.qcStatus = 'In Process') OR
(dbo.a1_qcParent.qcStatus = 'Re-Opened')
Calling like this returns ALL 82 rows (negating the functions distinct):
Select a.qcParent_ID, a.qcStatus, a.qcAlert, a.itemComplete, a.Facility, a.Modality, openItemListToFix
From z_QClocate_openAll a
JOIN (Select DISTINCT qcParent_ID, dbo.openItemsIntoList(' / AND ',qcParent_ID) as openItemListToFix FROM dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix) i
on a.qcParent_ID = i.qcParent_ID
AND THEN THERES...
Failing miserably on Integrating the Function call into This SELECT ON MULTI-TABLES:

We are trying to create a TVF that executes a CLR Stored Procedure we wrote to use the results from the SP and transform them for the purposes of returning to the user as a table.
Code Snippet
[SqlFunction ( FillRowMethodName = "FillRow",
TableDefinition = "CustomerID nvarchar(MAX)",
SystemDataAccess = SystemDataAccessKind.Read,
DataAccess = DataAccessKind.Read,
IsDeterministic=false)]
public static IEnumerable GetWishlist () {
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection ( "Context Connection=true" )) {
List<string> myList = new List<string> ();
conn.Open ();
SqlCommand command = conn.CreateCommand ();
command.CommandText = "GetObject";
command.Parameters.AddWithValue ( "@map", "Item" );
command.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;
using ( SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader ( System.Data.CommandBehavior.SingleRow )) {
if (reader.Read ()) {
myList.Add ( reader[0] as string );
}
}
return (IEnumerable)myList;
}
}
When command.ExecuteReader is called, I am getting an "Object not defined" error. However, the stored procedure can be used in SQL Management Studio just fine.

Is there some sorf of trick I am missing?
Thank you!
Hi There,
I need to call a function to calculate a value. This function accepts a varchar parameter and returns a boolean value. I need to call this function for each row in the dataflow task. I thought I would use an oledb command transformation and for some reason if I say..
'select functioname(?)' as the sqlcommand, it gives me an error message at the design time. In the input/output properties, I have mapped Param_0(external column) to an input column.
I get this erro.."syntax error, ermission violation or other non specific error". Can somebiody please suggest me what's wrong with this and how should I deal this.
Thanks a lot!!
I created a CLR function based on following VB code:
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Server
Public Partial Class SqlClrVB
<Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction()> _
Public Shared Function GetTotalPhysicalMemory() As Integer
GetTotalPhysicalMemory = My.Computer.Info.TotalPhysicalMemory
End Function
End Class
The VB code was complied into a DLL called totalmem.dll and call following TSQL to map it into a SQL function:
create assembly totalmem from '!WORKINGDIR! otalmem.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET=UNSAFE
go
create function fnGetTotalMem()
returns int
as external name totalmem.SqlClrVB.GetTotalPhysicalMemory
go
When I call this function, it returned following error:
select dbo.fnGetTotalMem()
Msg 6522, Level 16, State 2, Line 0
A .NET Framework error occurred during execution of user defined routine or aggregate 'fnGetTotalMem':
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
System.IO.FileNotFoundException:
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.MyServices.Internal.ContextValue`1.get_Value()
at My.MyProject.ThreadSafeObjectProvider`1.get_GetInstance()
at SqlClrVB.GetTotalPhysicalMemory()
.
Anyone knows why I'm hitting this error? I didn't reference any System.Web interface why it needs to load System.Web assembly? The same code runs OK if I compile it as a separate VB application out side of SQL Server 2005.
Thanks much,
Zhiqiang
Hello people,
When I am trying to call a function I made from a stored procedure of my creation as well I am getting:
Running [dbo].[DeleteSetByTime].
Cannot find either column "dbo" or the user-defined function or aggregate "dbo.TTLValue", or the name is ambiguous.
No rows affected.
(0 row(s) returned)
@RETURN_VALUE =
Finished running [dbo].[DeleteSetByTime].
This is my function:
ALTER FUNCTION dbo.TTLValue
(
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN SELECT Settings.TTL FROM Settings WHERE Enabled='true'
This is my stored procedure:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.DeleteSetByTime
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @TTL int
SET @TTL = dbo.TTLValue()
DELETE FROM SetValues WHERE CreatedTime > dateadd(minute, @TTL, CreatedTime)
END
CreatedTime is a datetime column and TTL is an integer column.
I tried calling it by dbo.TTLValue(), dbo.MyDatabase.TTLValue(), [dbo].[MyDatabase].[TTLValue]() and TTLValue(). The last returned an error when saving it "'TTLValue' is not a recognized built-in function name". Can anybody tell me how to call this function from my stored procedure? Also, if anybody knows of a good book or site with tutorials on how to become a pro in T-SQL I will appreciate it.
Your help is much appreciated.
I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function
