I need to use the mod function on a numeric field with 2digits decimal.
I was told that SQL server does not support mod on a decimal number.
Is it correct? If yes, is there any way around this?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have successfully created a CLR function (C#) in SQL 2005 and call it from a stored procedure. I need to be able to provide the same functionality for SQL 2000 servers. Is this at all possible? I have read loads of conflicting information on the web about using COM to access the dll €“ can it be done or not? The function accepts serveral input parameters and internally access the data store using a context connection and a datareader.
Thanks.

I need to procedure to retrive all the down Members by giving a member number.
I have created a recresive function to achive this but at one stage it's giving error(above 32 level it's throwing an error). So i want a procedure which populates the temp. table with the required Information.
I have a stored procedure that raises an error just fine, but the problem is when i want to catch that particular error in client code, how do i go able doing so, i want to display a message in a label when that particular error occurs.
right now all i know about the raiserror function is RAISERROR("Message", Severity, Stage) how do i give it number so i can catch it in code?

Hi Group...In one of my tables in a SQL-2000 db, do I have a calculated column callinga user defined function.That's not a problem, but now I need to update another column in the sametable form this udf.It seems not to be possible in SQL-2000, so how is such thing normally done?Do I need to call e stored procedure from within the function, with thenessesary parameters, and then let this stored procedure perform the update,or is it a better idea to change the function used in the computed column toa stored procedure ?If so, how am I programming the call to the procedure?Something similar to the function-call which is done like:CREATE TABLE table1 (column1 int AS dbo.fn_calculate_something (parameter1, parameter2),column2 .....column3.....)Thanks in advance.Steen
View 1 Replies View RelatedA stored procedure in the cache is automatically recompiled when a table it refers to has a table structure change. User defined functions are not. Here's a simplified code sample:
set nocount on
go
create table tmpTest (a int, b int, c int)
insert into tmpTest (a, b, c) values (1, 2, 3)
insert into tmpTest (a, b, c) values (2, 3, 4)
go
if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[fTest]') and xtype in (N'FN', N'IF', N'TF'))
drop function [dbo].[fTest]
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fTest (@a int)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN (SELECT * from tmpTest where a = @a)
GO
select * from fTest(1)
CREATE TABLE dbo.Tmp_tmpTest
(
a int NULL,
b int NULL,
d int NULL,
c int NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM dbo.tmpTest)
EXEC('INSERT INTO dbo.Tmp_tmpTest (a, b, c)
SELECT a, b, c FROM dbo.tmpTest TABLOCKX')
DROP TABLE dbo.tmpTest
EXECUTE sp_rename N'dbo.Tmp_tmpTest', N'tmpTest', 'OBJECT'
select * from fTest(1)
drop table tmpTest
Running it, the output is:
a b c
----------- ----------- -----------
1 2 3
Caution: Changing any part of an object name could break scripts and stored procedures.
The OBJECT was renamed to 'tmpTest'.
a b c
----------- ----------- -----------
1 2 NULL
(I know that "select *" is bad, but it's a lot of legacy code that I'm working with here, and that's how it's written.)
The function doesn't detect that the table has changed in structure, or even that there is no longer a dependency on tmpTest. (Appending a column rather than inserting has the same effect, in that only the first 3 columns are returned.)
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE has no effect, not that I really expected it to, but you never know...
Is there any way, other than dropping and recreating, to force a recompilation of a particular function in memory, or perhaps all functions?
Thanks in anticipation.

My company would like to start keeping track of everytime a table, stored procedure, or function is changed.
What is the best way to do this?
I have a query that uses the PIVOT function and works fine in SQL 2012. I've been asked to move the query to a database that has the compatibility level set to 80(SQL 2000). I receive an "Incorrect syntax near" error when I try to excute the query on the SQL 2000 database. I would like to duplicate the exiting PIVOT functionality in SQL 2000.The existing query retrieves employee names and the order that the employee should be displayed from a table. The names will appear on the report according to the order that is retrieved from the database. Also, the users have requested that only 5 names appear on each row of the report. This is why the PIVOT function was needed. Below is an example of how the existing query works.
Table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[EmpGuest](
 [Guest_ID] [int] NOT NULL,
 [Guest_Name] [varchar](80) NULL,
 [Display_Order] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]

I am facing a problem with Convert function in SQL server 2000 with sp3 installed , Japanese version
In sql server 2000 (sp1 installed) Japanese version, the convert(datetime,,111) gives me date in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:min:sec
But in sql server 2000 (sp3 instaled) Japanese version, the convert(datetime, ,111) gives me date in the format yyyy-mm-dd.
I need the hh:min:sec to do an exact date comparison.
The problem is solved if I use Convert(datetime,,120).
Any pointers on the root cause of why the problem occurs with convert() function once sp3 is installed?
Is it possible to define your own function? If so could you give me an example.
Keep in mind that I said in SQL Server 2000. I want no CLR SQL Server 2005 solutions.

I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.

Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)
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!

Any help greatly appreciated as this is stopping us from making

PS - we can still connect fine using XP or windows 2000 desktops and their
local DSNs.
I am attempting to move some SQL 2000 databases to SQL 2005. My main production database does not seem to want to move. When I use the SQL 2005 GUI the .bak backup file is marked 'Incomplete'. When I attempt to restore the backup file I get a 'RESTORE detected an error on page (0:0) in database' message. I saw a thread in the SQL Express forum suggesting trying to restore from the T-SQL level to get the GUI out of the picture and I get the same 'error on page (0:0)' message. However when I take the same file and use SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager it restores with no problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks
