I have a SQL function which returns a varchar(max). This gets truncated when the length is greater than 8000. Could you let me know how do I get the return value in a function without it being truncated.

upon running executing this function with valid values i am not getting any results.
anything is wrong?
thank you,
Hi guys,
I have to work with some configuration data that is stored in rows as a comma separated values. Something like this:
Key1
A,1,Z,0;B,2,Y,9;C,,8,X;
Key2
Alpha,101;Beta,102;
Each group of data is separated by a semicolon and each value by a comma. The quantity of values may vary from one key to the other. Over this values sometimes I need to run some selects, so I went with the idea to get it as a table using CLR.
There I find the first problem: I didn't find a way to return a "variable" column with a CLR function, I had to create a SP. Ok, now I execute spGetConfigurationAsTable 'Key1' and I can obtain something like this:
A
1
Z
0
B
2
Y
9
C
3
X
8
But I'm faced with a second problem: How can I run a query over this? I didn't find a way to run a query over an output of a SP. And I can't INSERT the result into a temporary table because I cannot CREATE the table static (remember the columns may differ from one configuration to the other).
So, it seemed a pretty simple task and a neat solution, but I'm kinda stuck. Is there a way to run a query over the SP output? Or is there a way to have a variable table output from a CLR UDF?
Here is the code of the CLR SP I use to obtain the data, and also the (non-working) CLR user defined function.
THANKS!

I have this assignment where i have a table full of two digit exam scores and I have to write a function that eliminate x number of top values and x number of bottom values and return all the middle values. When the function is called, obviously a number is entered such as 3 and the top 3 and bottom 3 scores are not returned.
i.e. SELECT * FROM GetMiddleValues (3);
If anyone has any ideas on how to accomplish this, that would be great.

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?

Hi,
I am trying to return [string/SqlString] from a CLR function, but it was truncated at 8000 characters.
How can I solve this problem and return varchar(MAX)?
Thanks
I have this code:
Declare @sql as varchar(4000)
declare @tbl as varchar(100)
declare @exists as bit
select @tbl = 'ACA_RSF'
select @sql = 'select count(*) from [member_score] where source_tbl = ''' + @tbl + ''''
print @sql
exec (@sql)
and it returns 18 million for a record count.I have this scalar returning function, which models the above, and it returns zero:
select dbo.fnGet_Rec_Count('ACA_RSF') as cnt
here is the code:
alter FUNCTION spGet_Rec_Count
(
@source_tbl varchar(100)
)
RETURNS bigint
AS
BEGIN
-- Declare the return variable here
DECLARE @count bigint
-- Add the T-SQL statements to compute the return value here
select @count = (select count(*) from [member_score] where source_tbl = ''' + @tbl + ''')
-- Return the result of the function
RETURN @count
END
GO
I get zero regardless of where @count is declared as in or bigint.

I'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.
Where did i do wrong in conversion
original query
dateadd(hour, datediff(hour,CONVERT(VARCHAR(19),B.CreateDate,111 ),B.CreateDate)
I tried to use convert(varchar(50),Datediff,21)
Below is the exact code..
convert(varchar(50),dateadd(hour, datediff(hour,CONVERT(VARCHAR(19),B.CreateDate,111 ),B.CreateDate),21)
I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why SSIS will not convert varchar data. instead of using the table to table method, I wrote a SQL query so that I could transform the datatype ntext to varchar 512 understanding that natively MS is going towards all Unicode applications.
The source fields from Access are int, int, int and varchar(512). The same is true of the destination within SQL Server 2005. the field 'Answer' is the varchar field in question....
I get the following error

DTS used to be a very strong tool but a simple import such as this is causing me extreme grief and wondering of SQL2005 is ready for primetime. FYI SP1 is installed. I am running this from a workstation and not on the server if that makes a difference...
Any help would be appreciated.
I am opening a simple command against a view which joins 2 tables, so that I can return a column which is defined as a tinyint in one of the tables. The SELECT looks like this:
SELECT TreatmentStatus FROM vwReferralWithAdmissionDischarge WHERE ClientNumber = 138238 AND CaseNumber = 1 AND ProviderNumber = 89
The TreatmentStatus column is a tinyint. When I execute that above SQL SELECT statement in SQL Server Management Studio (I am using SQL Server 2005) I get a value of 2. But when I execute the same SQL SELECT statement as a part of a SqlDataReader and SqlCommand, I get a return data type of integer and a value of 1.
Why?
I have a table that contains a lot of demographic information. The data is usually small (<20 chars) but ocassionally needs to handle large values (250 chars). Right now its set up for varchar(max) and I don't think I want to do this.
How does varchar(max) store info differently from varchar(250)? Either way doesn't it have to hold the container information? So the word "Crackers" have 8 characters to it and information sayings its 8 characters long in both cases. This meaning its taking up same amount of space?
Also my concern will be running queries off of it, does a varchar(max) choke up queries because the fields cannot be properly analyzed? Is varchar(250) any better?
Should I just go with char(250) and watch my db size explode?
Usually the data that is 250 characters contain a lot of blank space that is removed using a SPROC so its not usually 250 characters for long.
Any insight to this would be appreciated.
I hvae a stored procedure that has this at the end of it:
BEGIN
EXEC @ActionID = ActionInsert '', @PackageID, @AnotherID, 0, ''
END
SET NOCOUNT OFF
SELECT Something
FROM Something
Joins…..
Where Something = Something
now, ActionInsert returns a Value, and has a SELECT @ActionID at the end of the stored procedure.
What's happening, if that 2nd line that I pasted gets called, 2 result sets are being returned. How can I modify this SToredProcedure to stop returning the result set from ActionINsert?
Hey,
I was doing some research on how SQL stores data on disk.
MSDN states that when storring a varchar, only the length of the data itself is used plus two bytes.
So, if you store "car" in a VarChar(50) it will take 5 bytes.
But when you store "car" in a VarChar(500) it will also take 5 bytes.
What is the reason users should define the parameter lenght?
Can you use VarChar(8000) whole the time, without any drawback?
Thanks
select convert(varchar(16), getdate(), 101)+LEFT(REPLACE(convert(varchar, getdate(), 108), ':', ''),4)

04/12/200702:05
How can I separated the year and hour ?
Thanks

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
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I executed the following sql script successfuuly:
shcInLineTableFN.sql:
USE pubs
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.AuthorsForState(@cState char(2))
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN (SELECT * FROM Authors WHERE state = @cState)
GO
And the "dbo.AuthorsForState" is in the Table-valued Functions, Programmabilty, pubs Database.
I tried to get the result out of the "dbo.AuthorsForState" by executing the following sql script:
shcInlineTableFNresult.sql:
USE pubs
GO
SELECT * FROM shcInLineTableFN
GO
I got the following error message:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'shcInLineTableFN'.
Please help and advise me how to fix the syntax
"SELECT * FROM shcInLineTableFN"
and get the right table shown in the output.
Thanks in advance,
