SQL Server 2012 :: Conditional Logic Function To Return VARCHAR Value With Gender
May 4, 2015I'm trying to convert the query immediately below into a function with the conditional logic to return a VARCHAR value with the gender: male, female or unknown.
SELECT empid, firstname, lastname, titleofcourtesy,
CASE
WHEN titleofcourtesy IN('Ms.', 'Mrs.') THEN 'Female'
WHEN titleofcourtesy = 'Mr.' THEN 'Male'
ELSE 'Unknown'
END AS gender
FROM HR.Employees;

@male AS VARCHAR(10),
@female AS VARCHAR(10),
@unknown AS VARCHAR(10)
)

'Return' Statement In A Function,Get,or Operator Must Return A Value....Question
Aug 28, 2007
I'm a Reporting Services New-Be.
I'm trying to create a report that's based on a SQL-2005 Stored Procedure.
I added the Report Designer, a Report dataset ( based on a shared datasource).
When I try to build the project in BIDS, I get an error. The error occurs three times, once for each parameter on the stored procedure.
I'll only reproduce one instance of the error for the sake of brevity.
[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter 'UserID' contains an error : [BC30654] 'Return' statement in a Function, Get, or Operator must return a value.
I've searched on this error and it looks like it's a Visual Basic error :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8x403818(VS.80).aspx
My guess is that BIDS is creating some VB code behind the scenes for the report.
I can't find any other information that seems to fit this error.
The other reports in the BIDS project built successfully before I added this report, so it must be something specific to the report.
BTW, the Stored Procedure this report is based on a global temp table. The other reports do not use temp tables.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks,

CLR Method Doesn't Return Varchar
Apr 24, 2008I have a written a dll in 2.0 that calls a webservice.
This webservice is used to authenticate users in Active Directory. I created a assembly to that calls this dll because of the diverse languages versions that will use it (from asp,vb6 on up) and all can get values from a stored procedure that calls that assembly. I works great. Until now, I have to add another function to my dll that calls the webservice and returns the Users Full name from Active directory for electronic signitures. Okay I added to the dll then tried to reconstruct my Assembly and stored procedures and recieved the following error. "CREATE PROCEDURE failed because a CLR Procedure may only be defined on CLR methods that return either SqlInt32, System.Int32, void"
I want to keep all these Active directory call all in one place so I can be consistant in all the different applications. I was reading about UDF but that could get messy as I have a config file for the dll that allows the user to dynamically change the url for the webservice. Any suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated

Aug 15, 2007I am unable to get FTS working where the column to be searched is type varchar(MAX) or Text. I can get this to work if my column to be indexed is some statically assigned array size such as varchar(1000).
For instance this works, and will return all applicable results.

And this does not. It returns zero results what so ever.

SQL Function Returning Varchar(max)

Mar 14, 2006I am using SQL Express
I have a very simple function to retreive the maximum value (MemberID) from a member table. The memberID column is in "nvarchar(8)" type.
The following shows the function:
ALTER FUNCTION dbo.GetLastMemberID()
RETURNS nvarchar(8)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN (SELECT ISNULL(MAX(MemberID),'IM000000') FROM MemberInfo)
END
When i run the function, only the first 4 character (say 'IM00') is returned.
If I change the "RETURNS nvarchar(8)" to either "RETURNS nvarchar(16)" or "RETURNS varchar(8)", whole column (8 characters) is returned.
My question: should I use nvarchar(16) or varchar(8) in the function in this case?
Thanks

Function Return Value
Jun 13, 2004I want to write a function that returns the physical filepath of the master database for its MDF and LDF files respectively. This information will then be used to create a new database in the same location as the master database for those servers that do not have the MDF and LDF files in the default locations.
Below I have the T-SQL for the function created and a test query I am using to test the results. If I print out the value of @MDF_FILE_PATH within the funtion, I get the result needed. When making a call to the function and printing out the variable, all I get is the first letter of the drive and nothing else.
You may notice that in the function how CHARINDEX is being used. I am not sure why, but if I put a backslash "" as expression1 within the SELECT statement, I do not get the value of the drive. In other words I get "MSSQLData" instead of "D:MSSQLData" I then supply the backslash in the SET statement. I assume that this has something to do with my question.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

HAVING (dbo.Assets.deal_id = @deal_id) )
I need to do calculations on market value based on the default date.
If default date isn't specified then it should be 100% of par amount.
If default date is less than one year ago - 65% of the par_amount.
If default date is one or more years ago - 0.
I have no idea about how to do this and everything I try wont work.

User Function Return Value Being Rounded
Jan 3, 2008
I have created the following user function :-
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER function [dbo].[GetBillPrice](@BillLineID int)
returns float
as
begin
DECLARE @BillPrice float
SET @BillPrice = (
SELECT ((CAST(T_BillValueAndTax.BillValueAndTaxBillValue as float))+(CAST(T_BillTax.BillTaxTax1Value as float)) +(CAST(T_BillTax.BillTaxTax2Value as float)))
FROM T_BillLine
INNER JOIN T_BillValueAndTax on T_BillValueAndTax.BillValueAndTaxID = T_BillLine.BillValueAndTaxID_Price
INNER JOIN T_BillTax on T_BillTax.BillTaxID = T_BillValueAndTax.BillTaxID_Bill
WHERE T_BillLine.BillLineID = @BillLineID)
return ABS(@BillPrice)
end
No matter how I try to return the @BillPrice value, the value is rounded to the nearest whole number. For instance if the value is calculated as 198.75 the value returned is 199.0
When I execute the function in Query Anlayser the correct value of 198.75 is returned.
Any help in solving this would be greatly appreciated.
How To Bind Return Value From Function Call
Dec 21, 2007I have a function that I need to call from an execute sql task. I want to bind the return value from the function to an ssis variable.
Can someone please show me an example of what the function syntax needs to look like in order for this to work? I know that with sp's, you need to explicitly state the column names.
I have tried many things without success.
Thanks
