I am translating some of my Access queries to SQL views. In one of those, I had a very convenient function called "IIF" (e.g. IIf(IsNull([Remark]),"NULL","NOT NULL").
How is this function called in the MS SQL Server 2000? Apparently I cannot use either "IIF" nor "CASE" in the query/view.....
I have a function that accespts a string and a delimeter returns the results in a temp table. I am using the funtion for one of the columns in my view that needs be to split and display the column into different columns. The view takes for ever to run and finally it doesn't split and doesn't display in the column.
Function:
-----------------------------------
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[func_Split]
(
@DelimitedString varchar(8000),
[Code].....
Not sure what I am missing in the above view why it doesn't split the string.

This is my problem: I do not know how to get the servername from a C# user defined function . Is this possible?
I am writing a User Defined Function (UDF). Inside of this user defined function I need the name of the databaseserver that it is running on. Does anyone have an idea how I might do this? Is there an enviromental variable that I could access within the C# code I use to write the UDF?
I could always use a parameter to pass in the name of the server, but I would like to have as few parameters as possible.
Thanks in advance,

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

Hiya folks,
Having a problem with a view.
I'm using the syntax
Right('000' & Myfield,3) to 'pad' out the results.
ie if MyField contained 45 the answer should be : 045
but i'm getting the results of : 0
Stuck!! Any offers kind people??
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Objects
WHERE (UserRights & dbo.GetUserRights()) > 0)
The purpose of this view is to implement row level security. The Field, UserRights is a BigInt and holds up to 64 bits corresponding to the user or group that has a right to view this record.
The Function GetUserRights() is a function which returns an Int corresponding to the user rights of the person who is currently logged in. In a bitwise fashion, it then "ands" them together to see if the value is greater than 0. If so, the user has rights to the record.
If I hardcode a value to replace the function, the Select statement is very fast. However, if I use the function it is extremely slow. I believe this is due to the function getting run once for each row of the table, instead of just once.
Is there a way to rewrite this so that it only runs once? I could do this in a stored procedure, but I need it in a view so that I can use replace "Objects" (the table) with "vwObjects" the view.
Thanks,
Greg
Hi, Is there anyway to create a view within a Function? The code is as below. I execute the code between "BEGIN" and "END". SQL Analyzer report error that said

I understand now I can create a view of the function Simply by using the function name in my FROM statement. However I get an error that arguments provided do not match parameters required. However, I'm not getting the prompt to enter my criterion. Is my error in my function statement? I can't save the view. I also understand I could use a pass-through query. Is there some sort of guidance or tutorial on that to which you could point me?
Thanks for your time.
I was thinking about Luis' post about a similar question here. After thinking about this, I was left with this particular question:
What is the difference between an inline TVF that takes no arguments and a view? Do / should these optimize the same?
I'm very new to SQL Server. Please help. I need to create a FUNCTION that creates a view. Then call this function in a SQL which is passed as a parameter to BCP. In Oracle, it would be something like:
create function CREATEVIEW
return number as
begin
create view SampleView as SELECT a,b,c from Mytable;
return 1;
when others then return 0; -- for exception handling
end:
create function DROPVIEW
return number as
begin
Drop view SampleView;
return 1;
when others then return 0; -- for exception handling
end:
Then my BCP will have something like:
BCP "select CREATEVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..
then
BCP "select * from SampleView"... QUERYOUT ..
then drop the view again:
BCP "select DROPVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..
I know there is no DUAL table in SQL SERVER. I just want to know how to code this in SQL Server.
The origin of my problem is that my SQL statement is too long to fit as BCP parameter, hence, am creating a view and reading there and dropping it again. If you can provide me with a better workaround, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
I have created the following view:
Create view vwOrderItemTotal2
AS
SELECT ItemName, fkMenuItemID, Sum(Quantity) as [SumOfMenuITems] FROM OrderItems GROUP BY fkMenuItemId, ItemName
When I present my data in a GridView, it works fine. For example, several orders for milk are returned as a summary quantity of 26 gallons in a single row of the GridView like this:
26 Milk
Now I need to filter my data by OrderDate and Zipcode. I created this new view:
Create view vwOrderItemTotal5
AS
SELECT Orders.Zipcode, Orders.OrderDate, OrderItems.ItemName, OrderItems.fkMenuItemID, Sum(Quantity) as [SumOfMenuITems]
FROM Orders INNER JOIN OrderItems
ON Orders.OrderID = OrderItems.fkOrderID
GROUP BY fkMenuItemId, ItemName, Zipcode, OrderDate
When I present my data in a Gridview using the new view I get a GridView with multiple rows for milk where each order has its own row like this:
1 Milk
5 Milk
6 Milk
6 Milk
3 Milk
1 Milk
4 Milk
But I want the data presentation in one row for each ItemName (e.g. Milk) as with my first view. Can I adjust my new view to achieve this, or should I stick with my first view (vwOrderItemTotal2) and adjust the Select Command in my SqlDataSource (hasn’t worked yet).
I think that what I want is for the returned data to be grouped by fkMenuItemId only, but the sql server admin won’t let me create a view without including the other fields in the Group By clause. Thanks for any help provided in solving this.
I'm a developer, not a DB admin. I'm writing a .NET app that usescrystal reports.The table I need to output is built inside a stored procedure. Nochoice, it makes use of some temporary tables. (Believe me I've triedto get around that.)Crystal reports seems to only know about tables and views. It lookslike a view cannot call procedures. It can call functions, but in turnthey also can't call procedures. I am hosed, what now?Performance is not a factor here, small data sets, I just gotta get thething working.

If so, you might wanttotry the following alternative (using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as example;replaceit with your date column / parameter):SELECT CAST(CONVERT(varchar, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 112) AS int)You could put this in the UDF (probably at least as fast as yourcurrentCalenmdar-table based function), or use it inline as a replacement tothefunction call (probably even faster).It should work for all dates from Jan 1st 1753 through Dec 31st 9999.Best, Hugo--(Remove _NO_ and _SPAM_ to get my e-mail address)
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow 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:
How to integrate the Function call:
JOIN (Select DISTINCT qcParent_ID, dbo.openItemsIntoList(' / AND ',qcParent_ID) as openItemListToFix FROM dbo.a3_qcItems2Fix) i
on a.qcParent_ID = i.qcParent_ID
into the multi-table Select relationships (while maintaining Where & Order By):
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')
I have a view created in Database1 accessing information in Database2. Do users need access to Database2 in order to select from the view?
