Sep 5, 2006Hello,
Is there any way to write a function where I can write some code and at the end of the code return a entire table as parameter??

Transact SQL :: Table Valued Function Returns Nothing When Single Column Selected
Apr 21, 2015We run std 2008 r2. I haven't looked at my friend's function closely yet bur he showed me that when he selects from the function with one column and the same where clause he uses on same func with select *, he gets no data under the column he requested.Â
But when he selects * he gets a single row.
I took a peek and see a bunch of left joins followed by a bunch of outer applies in his func. I suppose (thinking out load) if anything random like the order of rows returned or sql decisions on how query runs can affect his function, that might explain it. Â

Feb 4, 2014I have following select-statement:

My Problem is that the first 2 rows in column [ma] are not correct. They Show a value since it is not a 3 days average. In the first row in column [ma]is the same value as in [Close]. In the second row in column [ma] is the average value of the first and second value of column [Close].

Augent Pls Help::::Is_Member() Function Returns 0 Instead Of 1 In Sql2005
Aug 10, 2007Hello All,
I have a situation where after creating roles and addding users to the roles then when i call Is_Member('MyRole') on my development box it tells me the user is a member of the Role,
But when i detach the database and deploy on a production server and call Is_Member('MyRole') it tells me that the user is not a member of the Role....

So am pretty confused when i call Is_Member('MyRole') and it gives me 0 meaning the user is not in the role....

Find A Function That Returns The Column Width
Mar 3, 2008
Dear all hi,
I would like to create a function that will return to me the width of the column of the table without giving as a parameter the table name. I need it, as I want to exceed my data in this column to the column length. I want to fill the column data with trailing blanks until I reach the column width. The function len returns the length of the data in the column.
I know that If I have the table name I can find the column width through the system tables. I don€™t want this.
Sincerely,

Any Function That Returns The Position Of A String In A Column?

SQL 2012 :: CheckSum Agg Function Returns 0 For Even Number Of Repeated Values?
Aug 14, 2014From what I've seen, the CheckSum_Agg function appears to returns 0 for even number of repeated values. If so, then what is the practical use of this function for implementing an aggregate checksum across a set of values?
For example, the following work as expected; it returns a non-zero checksum across (1) value or across (2) unequal values.
declare @t table ( ID int );
insert into @t ( ID ) values (-7077);
select checksum_agg( ID ) from @t;
-----------
-7077
declare @t table ( ID int );
insert into @t ( ID ) values (-7077), (-8112);
select checksum_agg( ID ) from @t;
-----------
1035
However, the function appears to returns 0 for an even number of repeated values.
declare @t table ( ID int );
insert into @t ( ID ) values (-7077), (-7077);
select checksum_agg( ID ) from @t;
-----------
0
It's not specific to -7077, for example:
declare @t table ( ID int );
insert into @t ( ID ) values (-997777), (-997777);
select checksum_agg( ID ) from @t;
-----------
0
What's curious is that (3) repeated equal values will return a checksum > 0.
declare @t table ( ID int );
insert into @t ( ID ) values (-997777), (-997777), (-997777);
select checksum_agg( ID ) from @t;
-----------
-997777
But a set of (4) repeated equal values will return 0 again.
declare @t table ( ID int );
insert into @t ( ID ) values (-997777), (-997777), (-997777), (-997777);
select checksum_agg( ID ) from @t;
-----------
0
Finally, a set of (2) uneuqal values repeated twice will return 0 again.
declare @t table ( ID int );
insert into @t ( ID ) values (-997777), (8112), (-997777), (8112);
select checksum_agg( ID ) from @t;
-----------
0

INNER JOIN Between A CLR-TVF And A Table Returns No Rows
Feb 24, 2007I have the following query:
select sq.*, p.numero, p.nombre
from paf p right outer join dbo.GetListOfSquaresForShippingLot(@lot) sq on sq.number = p.numero and sq.version = p.numero
The @lot parameter is declared at the top ( declare @lot int; set @lot = 1; ). GetListOfSquaresForShippingLot is a CLR TVF coded in C#. The TVF queries a XML field in the database and returns nodes as rows, and this is completed with information from a table.
If I run a query with the TVF only, it returns data; but if I try to join the TVF with a table, it returns empty, even when I'm expecting matches. I thought the problem was the data from the TVF was been streamed and that's why it could not be joined with the data from the table.
I tried to solve that problem by creating a T-SQL multiline TVF that is supposed to generate a temporary table. This didn't fix the problem.
What can I do? Does anybody know if I can force the TVF to render its data somewhere so the JOIN works? I was thinking a rowset function could help, but I just can't figure out how.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
Let me know if you want the code for the CLR TVF. This is the code for the T-SQL TVF:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[GetTabListOfSquaresForShippingLot]
(
@ShippingLot int
)
RETURNS
@result TABLE
(
Number int, Version int, Position smallint,
SubModel smallint, Quantity smallint,
SquareId nvarchar(5),
ParentSquareId nvarchar(5),
IsSash smallint,
IsGlazingBead smallint,
Width float,
Height float,
GlassNumber smallint,
GlassWidth float,
GlassHeight float
)

Column Name Not Recognised Even Though The Procedure Returns A Table With That Name??

However, the reference to the column name is not recognised with the following error being returned.
Column with name "CalcVal" was not found.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Column with name "CalcVal" was not found.Source Error:

Line 153: Chart1.DataSource = chartDs;
Line 154: Chart1.DataBind();
Line 155:

This worked before deployment and the other controls which are bound to data using stored procedures seem to work. However, these other data sources are all sqlDatasoure controls.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
I have found issues relating the to user ID and password which seems to depend on whether the web server and data server are the same machine or whether they are remote from each other.

Query That Returns Record That Arn't Duplicated In Another Table
Jul 20, 2005Hi.I have a table (websitehits) which holds statistics about websites.This table has a date field (datecounted). What I need is to create aquery which returns a list of dates between two date ranges (say ayear ago from today and a year from now) which only shows dates thathaven't been used in the websitehits table for a given website.For example if my table contains something like:Website Datecounted HitsSite101/01/046000Site101/02/046500Site101/03/046250Site201/03/041000Site201/04/041200Site201/05/041500So if query for ‘site1' then I'd get a list of all dates between30/11/03 to 30/11/05 with the exception of the dates 01/01/04,01/02/04 and 01/03/04.So far I've tried to do this using another table named calendar whichcontains a very long list of dates and to use this to produce the list– but I'm not getting very far.By the way I'm using sql server, an I need this query to generate alist for an asp page - so I need to pass the website name as aparameter so I guess I need to make this query as a stored procedure.Does anyone know how this can be done?

Table Join Statement Returns Repeat Rows
Jul 22, 2007Hello All.
I am struggling with the below join block in my stored procedure.
I can't seem to get the duplicate row problem to go away. It seems that SQL is treating each new instance of an email address as reason to create a new row despite the UNIONs.
I understand that if I am using UNION, using DISTINCT is redundant and will not solve the duplicate row problem.
Primary Keys: none of the email address columns are primary keys. Each table has an incrementing ID column that serves
as the primary key.
I am guessing I am encountering this problem because of how
I have structured my Join statements? Is it possible to offer advice without a deeper understanding of my data model or
do you need more information?
Thanks for any tips.
Code:
select emailAddress from Users union
select user_name from PersonalPhotos union
select email_address from EditProfile union
select email_address from SavedSearches union
select distinct email_address from UserPrecedence union
select email_address from LastLogin) drv
Left Join Users tab1 on (drv.emailAddress = tab1.emailAddress)
Inner Join UserPrecedence tab5 on tab5.UserID=tab1.UserID
Left Join PersonalPhotos tab2 on (drv.emailAddress = tab2.user_name)
Left Join LastLogin tab4 on (drv.emailAddress = tab4.email_address)
Left Join EditProfile tab3 on (drv.emailAddress = tab3.email_address)
Left Join SavedSearches tab6 on (drv.emailAddress = tab6.email_address
Can You Call A Stored Proc That Returns A Table Variable Using ADO?

Is There A Command That Returns Every Constraint Related To A Colonne/table
May 14, 2008Hi,
Not too long ago I was looking to change a primary key in a table from one column to another, the standard accepted procedure to so procedure to do so (I was told) was:
1) drop primary key constraint from old_key_column
2)add primary key constraint to new_key_column
3) drop old_key_column (optional).
In order to carry out the first step, I needed the name of the primary key constraint, at which point I asked around for a command that would return that name (and would quite probably take as a parameter the name of the column that key is related to). The answer was :
Try this:
select name 'constraintName' from sys.indexes where object_id=object_id('<tableName>') and is_primary_key=1
Unfortunately this command never worked for me. Probably because I don't have a table sys.indexes in my DB, but I can see a table sysindexes in the system tables folder, then again that table doesn't have an object_id column, but it has an id column, finally this column only contain obscur numbers.
So I am asking you all (again) for help, do you know about a command that returns every single constraint related to a column (or a table, or both).
One more thing, I am running SQL SERVER 2000, I do know that there are graphic ways to do those very operations (in the enterprise manager or the query analyzer) and I do know those ways (that's how i got past the problem mentioned earlier), I just think that knowing how to do it programmatically would be a plus.
PS: I am a total newbie to T-SQL (and a still a beginner in SQL, so please take it easy with me )

Nested SELECT Query That Also Returns COUNT From Related Table
Mar 4, 2005OK heres the situation, I have a Categories table and a Products table, each Category can have one or many Products, but a product can only belong to one Category hence one-to-many relationship.
Now I want to do a SELECT query that outputs all of the Categories onto an ASP page, but also displays how many Products are in each category eg.
CatID | Name | Description | No. Products
0001 | Cars | Blah blah blah | 5
etc etc
At the moment I'm doing nesting in my application logic so that for each category that is displayed, another query is run that returns the number of products for that particular category. It works ok!
However, is there a way to write a SQL Statement that returns all the Categories AND number products from just the one SELECT statement, rather than with the method I'm using outlined above? The reason I'm asking is that I want to be able to order by the number of products for each category and my method doesn't allow me to do this.
Many thanks!
Joining Large Fact Table To A View That Returns 120 Rows
Jan 19, 2015I have a simple query that joins a largeish fact table (3 million rows) to a view that returns 120 rows. The SKEY in the view is returned via a scalar function. The view returns instantly if queried on it's own however when joined to the fact table in the simple query below results in a query execution plan that runs forever. Interestingly if I change the INNER JOIN to a LEFT OUTER JOIN the query returns the matched results almost instantly.
Select
Dimension.Age_Band.[10_Year_Age_Band],
Count(*)
From
Fact.APC_Episodes
Inner Join Dimension.Age_Band ON
Fact.APC_Episodes.AGE_BAND_SKEY = Age_Band.AGE_BAND_SKEY
Group By
Dimension.Age_Band.[10_Year_Age_Band]
I know joining to a view using a column generated by a scalar function is not a good recipe for performance. I also know that I could fix this by populating a physical table with the view first as I have already tested this though I hoping not to have to go down that route.
Why a LEFT OUTER JOIN works and not an INNER JOIN or anyway I can get the query optimizer to generate an execution plan that works?

SQL Server 2012 :: Table Returning Function With Input Table Name As Parameter
Nov 19, 2014I'm using SS 2012.
I started with an inline table returning function with a hard coded input table name. This works fine, but my boss wants me to generalize the function, to give it in input table parameter. That's where I'm running into problems.
In one forum, someone suggested that an input parameter for a table is possible in 2012, and the example I saw used "sysname" as the parameter type. It didn't like that. I tried "table" for the parameter type. It didn't like that.
The other suggestion was to use dynamic sql, which I assume means I can no longer use an inline function.
This means switching to the multi-line function, which I will if I have to, but those are more tedious.
Any syntax for using the inline function to accomplish this, or am I stuck with multi-line?
A simple example of what I'm trying to do is below:
Create FUNCTION [CSH388102].[fnTest]
(
-- Add the parameters for the function here
@Source_Tbl sysname
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
select @Source_Tbl.yr from @Source_Tbl
)
Error I get is:
Msg 1087, Level 16, State 1, Procedure fnTest, Line 12
Must declare the table variable "@Source_Tbl".
If I use "table" as the parameter type, it gives me:
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Procedure fnTest, Line 4
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'table'.
Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Procedure fnTest, Line 12
Must declare the scalar variable "@Source_Tbl".
The input table can have several thousand rows.
