Difference Between SP's And Functions
Dec 9, 2005Hello
Can anyone explain to me (in not too technical terms) what is the difference between a stored procedure and a function and when I would use one or the other.
Thanks

View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing Scalar Functions In Views
Sep 19, 2007I have a view that contains a complex query. A few of the columnscall a function that returns a specific output. I also use a functionto do a join as well.For example:SELECT l.ID, dbo.getStatus(l.ID) AS statusIDFROM tableName ALEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.Status_LKP s ON dbo.getStatus(l.Leg_ID) =s.statusIDFor 800 records, this query takes about 9 seconds. I realize that foreach record, the function is executed on a per row basis, so I amlooking for alternatives.Does anyone know of other ways to accomplish something of the same?Basically I would like to include UDFs in a query and use those UDFsin the where and join clauses.Thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedViews Or Table Valued Functions?
Aug 11, 2004Hi I am writting Stored Procedures that have to be built on the base of other tables specially created for this purpose, is it better to create these intermediate tables as views or as functions returning tables? I guess views would be lighter on performance as they would not be created on the fly?

Views / Stored Procedures / Functions
Dec 1, 2005Hi All,
Novice question. Would someone explain tell me what a view is used for? Also I am confused about the difference between a function and a stored procedure. They both seem like functions to me.
Enabling Views, Functions Toggle
Oct 23, 2007Hello:
Is it possible to standardize sql views or functions to filter data for the user, before they view the report? For example if I have a SQL view that filters for "green, cotton-made socks", can this somehow be an option among others before a user presses "view report?"
A response is greatly appreciated. If this is possible, how ?
Many thanks.
Design Question: Nested Views And Functions?
Jul 23, 2005I am working in a project where the business model is complex enoughthat many common retrieval functions become difficult to develop andmaintain in single query statements or functions.I have found the logic is easier to implement (and later modify whenthe code is no longer freshly remembered), by implementing theprocessing layers in nested views, and functions that callsub-functions (UDFs), not too unlike object based programming ornon-DBMS procedural languages. In some cases, the views and functionsare nested three deep.So far, from a design standpoint, this practice is working very well.Code that would be a recusive mess is reduced to two or three simplercode blocks. With the proper indexing and query structure, performanceseems to be satisfactory (time will tell).In MS SQL Server, is there anything which makes this practice unsound?Examples:CREATE VIEW vw2 AS SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE ...CREATE VIEW vw3 AS SELECT * FROM vw2 WHERE ...Application uses: SELECT * FROM vw3-or-CREATE FUNCTION udf2 AS SELECT * FROM tbl1 WHERE ...CREATE FUNCTION udf3 AS SELECT * FROM udf2 WHERE ...Application uses: SELECT udf3(param) AS value

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe Query And The Views Or Functions In It Exceed The Limit Of 256 Tables.
Feb 22, 2007Yes, I do know what this means and why the error is thrown but this is not my question.
I have two servers that are both running Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 200 SP3. Below are the results from both servers using @@version
Sever 1 (BB)

Developer Edition on Windows NT 5.2 (Build 3790: Service Pack 1)
These servers are identical or so it seems. I've got a real ugly query that uses views and a derived table to get results. The problem is the 256 limit message only comes up on one server and on the other (Genesis) the query runs fine. I get the error though it reads a 260 limit on a box with SP4 applied. I've also run the query on a box that is Windows 2003, sql2k and sp4 and the query runs but not on a similar server here. This is all very odd. Please note that the database structure, views, etc are all exactly the same as far as I know.
Any suggestions? There seems to be no pattern between versions of Windows and/or SP levels.
Do You Replicate Views, Stored Procedures, And User Functions?
Jul 22, 2007Greetings,
We have recently begun using transactional replication to keep the data in our SQL Servers synchronized in a geographically dispersed environment. We replicate our tables but we have never replicated views, stored procedures, or user functions in our production systems. We are thinking of doing so but wonder if the overhead of running the replication agents doesn't outweigh the benefits of having replication assist with the occassional change to these design elements.
Is anyone on this forum replicating views, sprocs, and user functions? What has your experience been?
Thanks for any ideas that you share.

View 1 Replies View RelatedProgrammatically Extract Stored Procedures, Views, Tables, And Functions
May 21, 2008
Hi Folks,
I am writing a program that transforms a generic MS SQL database to make it compatible with our application. In order to make the transformation, I have to access all the elements of the generic database programmatically.
I know that the Master database contains all this information. Is there a query that allows me to access the "non-system" tables, sps, views, and functions?
For Tables, I need to know the Name(s) of the tables, the column names, the column type, ALLOW Nulls, Primary Key, Identity Seed settings, and Triggers.
For SPs, I need to know the Name(s) and access the SP source code (assuming it's unencrypted).
For Views, I need to know the Name(s) and access the Views Source
For functions, I need to know the Name(s) and access the function source.
I can see various tables in the Master database from management studio, like sys.objects, sys.tables - which look like they have the info I need. However, when I run a query against master like:
select * from sys.objects .. I get an error:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.
Thank you in advance.

Problem With Stored Procedure And Table-valued Functions
Apr 1, 2008Hello Gurus,
I have a stored procedure that gathers data from three tables and joins them, two of the tables need to have different rowcounts set, ie. pull only a certain number of rows from one table and only a certain number of rows from another table... The number of rows it should pull are stored within a table for each. Let me explain.... these tables hold Exchange storage group and mailstore data for a number of servers. Each server has a table entry with the number of child storage groups and each storage group has a table entry with the number of child mailstores. The tables get updated every two minutes via a program. I need to be able to get the most Data with the correct child counts for each server and storage group.
I believe that i've found a way to do this with a stored procedure that calls a table-valued function. The table-valued function simply filters down the storage group table to it's number of storage groups, ordered by timestamp. I may be way off here, but i can't tell because both the stored procedure and function check out fine but when i execute the stored procedure it gives me the following error:
Cannot find either column "dbo" or the user-defined function or aggregate "dbo.GetExchSGInfo", or the name is ambiguous.
My code is below:
Stored Procedure:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetExchangeData2]
@top INT,
@SID INT,
@SGCount INT,
@ServerName VARCHAR(50)
AS
Set @SID = (SELECT ServerID FROM dbo.Servers WHERE ServerName = @ServerName)
Set @top = (SELECT sum(Children) FROM dbo.ExchangeSG WHERE ServerID = @SID)
Set @SGCount = (SELECT SGCount FROM dbo.Servers WHERE ServerID = @SID)
SET ROWCOUNT @top
SELECT dbo.ExchangeMSData.*, dboExchangeMailStore.*, dbo.GetExchSGInfo(@SID,@SGCount) As ExchangeSG, dbo.Servers.*
FROM dbo.Servers INNER JOIN
ExchangeSG ON dbo.Servers.ServerID = ExchangeSG.ServerID INNER JOIN
dbo.ExchangeMailStore ON ExchangeSG.StorageGroupID = dbo.ExchangeMailStore.StorageGroupID INNER JOIN
dbo.ExchangeMSData ON dbo.ExchangeMailStore.MailstoreID = dbo.ExchangeMSData.MailstoreID
WHERE (dbo.Servers.ServerName = @ServerName)
ORDER BY dbo.ExchangeMSData.[TimeStamp] DESC, dbo.ExchangeSG.[TimeStamp] DESC
SET ROWCOUNT 0
And the Function:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GetExchSGInfo]
(
@SID INT,
@SGCount INT
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
SELECT TOP (@SGCount) *
FROM dbo.ExchangeSG
WHERE ServerID = @SID
ORDER BY [TimeStamp]
)
