SQL Server 2012 :: Table Returning Function With Input Table Name As Parameter
Nov 19, 2014
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.

i want to make a function that take a table as input parameter which is the output of a stored procedure (Record set)...
first i found that to make w table be as input parameter you must create type of that table first but i found that sql server 2005 doesn't have the 'table' as a type...
please any help will be appreciated

i want to make a function that will take a table as input parameter. this table will be the output of a stored procedure. while i were writing the function i have an error and when i read about it i found that i can not send a table as input parameter to a function till i create a new TYPE of this table with its columns and data types as UDT but i found that sql server 2005 does not support the type 'table'...
my question now is it possible technically to make this function? is it possible to write something like that :
SELECT dbo.MyFunction(exec dbo.MystoredProc)
and in my function i am using CLR-Integration as this :
create function MyFunction
(
@TempTable table
(
ContractID int,
ContractNumber nvarchar(20),
Name_En nvarchar(80),
Name_Ar nvarchar(80),
ContractAmount money,
CurrencyID nchar(3),
DateStart smalldatetime,
DateEnd smalldatetime,
Currency_En nvarchar(30),
Currency_Ar nvarchar(30)
)
)
returns table( ContractNumber nvarchar(20),
Name_En nvarchar(80),
Name_Ar nvarchar(80),
ContractAmount decimal,
Currency_En nvarchar(30),
Currency_Ar nvarchar(30),
[Year] int,
[Month] int,
DomesticAmount decimal
)
as external name [AssemblyName].[PathOfTheFunctionInTheAssembly].[FunctionNameInAssembly]
please help me in this code as i need it urgently...
thanks in advance,

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 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 have a requirement regarding a color combination data. I have a lookup table that holds a colorid, p1, p2, p3, p4 to p8 which will be having colors Red, Green and Amber. P1 to P8 columns holds these three colors based on their combinations.
I have attached the look up table data for reference.I need to pass the color values to p1 to p8 and need to retrieve the color id based on the passed color. If we pass values for all p1 to p8 then it is easy to get the color code, however it will not happen. The passed values may be dynamic. ie we will not have all 8 values all the times. sometimes we will have 2 colors passed, sometimes 5 colors will be passed.
If i pass only two colors say red and red, i need the color id of only the row that has red and red for p1 and p2 alone. i dont want want all the colorid's that has red and red in p1 and p2 and some other colors in p3 to p4.
The exact colorid of the combination must be returned on passing the values to p1 and p2.I am passing Red and Red as values to P1 and P2. In the look up table we can have 10 rows that has red and red i p1 and p2 like
colorid p1p2p3p4p5p6p7p8
1 redred
10 redredred
20 redredred
30 redredredred
40 redredredredred
50 redredredredredred
60 redredredredredredred
70 redredredredredredredred
So the result must have only the colorid 1 and not all the colorid's listed above. when I pass 3 red as values for p1, p2, p3 then the result must be 10. Colorid 1, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 must not come in the result.I need a function or procedure that will accept the arguments and provide me the result based on the values.

My overarching goal is to generate sets of random Symptom records for each Enrollee in a drug study, so that for each cycle (period of time), the code will insert a random number of random records for each enrollee.
I'm trying to return a number of random records from a table, but inside a table-valued function... (which could be my problem).
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ufn_GetTopSymptoms (
@enrollID INT
, @CTCVersion VARCHAR(20)
, @NumRecords INT
)
RETURNS TABLE
[Code] ....
But that ORDER BY NEWID() clause is illegal apparently, because here's the error it throws:
Msg 443, Level 16, State 1, Procedure ufn_GetTopSymptoms, Line 13
Invalid use of a side-effecting operator 'newid' within a function.
I was hoping I could return a set of enrollmentIDs and then use CROSS APPLY to generate a random set of records for each enrollmentID... is this not possible with APPLY? I was trying to avoid using a cursor...
The idea is basically to create all the Symptom records for all the patients in treatment cycle at once by using Enrollee OUTER APPLY dbo.ufn_GetTopSymtoms(dbo.Enrollment.EnrolleeID)
but that's clearly not working. Is there a way to do this without resorting to a cursor?

I am trying to run queries on a table (table has zero rows). Inspite of giving 0 rows returned the query keeps on running and I have to cancel it. I tried inserting a dummy row into the table but even the insert operation is taking too long.Every query which I hit on the table just keeps on running without giving any result.
But this is not the case with other tables in the database.They are all running fine giving proper results. But this one table is behaving funny.

I am loading files with same format from two different locations in to one database. First, my SSIS connects to location 1.
Lets Say
Location1 : C:LoadFilesImport
Location2 : D:LoadFilesImport
Location one has three different set files starting with
First Set: AP_1, AP_2,AP_3,
Second Set: VD_1, VD_2, VD_3,
Third Set: BK_1,BK_2,BK_3,
This SSIS set to run every 3 hours, if it finds files of any set load them. While loading it has to insert into a derivedcolumn called CustID. If the file name Starts with AP_ , custiD values should be as 101
AP_1 goes to Table1
AP_2 goes to Table2
AP_3 goes to Table3
If the file name Starts with VD_ , custiD values should be as 201
If the file name Starts with BK_ , custiD values should be as 301
after processing all these files in first location, the SSIS looks for files in second location and does the same?
--How to achieve CustID depending upon file name ?

I am trying to use a Execute SQL task in which I call a query and get back a scalar value. I THINK I have it set up correctly, yet I am getting a very unhelpful error message of:
Error: 0xC002F210 at Determine Previous Trade Date, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "SELECT[Supporting].[dbo].[fGetOffsetTradeDate](?, -1) AS [PreviousTradeDate]" failed with the following error: "Syntax error, permission violation, or other nonspecific error". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The Parameter Mapping has a single INPUT entry of data type DATE mapped to parameter 0.
The Result Set property (in General) is set to Single Row and there is a single entry in the Result Set config which maps [PreviousTradeDate] to a variable.
Odd thing is, if I replace the ? in the query with a date (say '03/24/2006') everything works fine. This would indicate that my query syntax is fine.

In Oracle when i create any procedure i define parameter datatype linked to under lying table.
For ex
create procedure testprocedure
(param1 customer.name%type,
param2 customer.salary%type )
Here i have defined param1 and param2 with datatype of name and salary of customer table respectively.
This way i do not need to worry about modifying param1 and param2 datatypes when datatypes of name & salary of customer table changes in future.
How can i accomplish this in SQL server.

Hi all.
I'm writing reports in Rep. Services that reads data from Dynamics NAV (Navision). In NAV data are stored by company and this is implemented by using the company name as prefix to the table name. This means that in a NAV database with three companies (lets call these companies A, B and C) we will have three tables with customers. The table names will be A$Customer, B$Customer and C$Customer.
Now to my problem:
I wan't to write one report where I can choose company. I do not want to use a stored procedure. I want to use a function so I can use the function in select statements and join several functions to build up a report that needs data from several tables.
Is there some way to pass the table name or a part of the table name to a function that returns the content of the actual table? I know I can pass parameters that I can use in the where clause, but is it possible to do it with the table name. Or is there any other way to solve this.
All ideas are welcome. Thanks.

In t-sql 2012, the followinng sql works fine when I declare @reportID.
IF @reportID <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT 'Students report 1' AS selectRptName, 1 AS rptNumValue
UNION
SELECT 'Students report 2', 2
UNION
[code]...
However when I use the sql above in an ssrs 2012 report, the query does not work since the @reportID parameter can have 0, 1, or up to 200 values.Thus I am thinking of calling the following following function to split out the parameter values:
FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_splitString]
(
@listString VARCHAR(MAX)
)
RETURNS TABLE WITH SCHEMABINDING
AS
RETURN
(
SELECT SUBSTRING(l.listString, sn.Num + 1, CHARINDEX(',', l.listString, sn.Num + 1) - sn.Num - 1) _id
FROM (SELECT ',' + LTRIM(RTRIM(@listString)) + ',' AS listString) l
CROSS JOIN dbo.sequenceNumbers sn
WHERE sn.Num < LEN(l.listString)
AND SUBSTRING(l.listString, sn.Num, 1) = ','
)
GO
how to remove the @reportID <> 0 t-sql above and replace by calling the fn_splitString function?

I need to create a function which takes a multi-value parameter. When I select more than one item, I get the error that I have too many arguments. Does anybody have a solution?
Or can I create a view and then do a "SELECT * FROM viewName WHERE columnName IN (@param)"?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I have a table-valued function in mssql 2005 as below:
ALTER FUNCTION fn_test{ @test nvarchar(1000)}RETURNS@TEMP TABLE{ test nvarchar(1000)}ASBEGIN INSERT INTO @TEMP SELECT @test
RETURNEND
Everytime, I passed in chinese character (@test), such as 測驗, the function will return ????. What should I do for the table-valued function, so that the chinese character can be passed in? Please help.
Note: I can search and get the chinese characters if I use stored procedures; and the columns in the tables can store chinese chararcters as well. Only table-valued function is not working with the chinese characters. Is it a bug from MSSQL 2005?

I would like to create a table valued function that fetch through the table below using a cursor and return the records that are unique

I have an SSRS report with several variables, some of which are multi-valued. The main query that feeds the report uses some table value functions. For example, the query looks something like this:
select tv1.a, tv1.b, tv2.x, tv2.y, tbl.m, tbl.n
from tableValueFunction1(@MultiValueParam) as tv1
inner join tableValueFunction2(@MultiValueParam) as tv2 on tv1.xxx = tv2.xxx
inner join regularTable as tbl on tv1.xxx = tbl.xxx
where tbl.abc in (@MultiValueParam).When I try to run this, I get an error saying that I'm feeding the wrong number of parameters into the table value functions. I've fed multi-valued parameters to stored procedures before and used a splitter function to split out the comma separated values, so I was planning to do the same thing in this scenario. However, this is different. When I look at the query in SQL Profiler, it shows discrete values for the multi value parameter. For example, the same query above looks like this when viewed through the profiler (using 1,2,3 as my multi-value selection):
select tv1.a, tv1.b, tv2.x, tv3.y, tbl.m, tbl.n
from tableValueFunction1(1,2,3) as tv1
inner join tableValueFunction2(1,2,3) as tv2 on tv1.xxx = tv2.xxx
inner join regularTable as tbl on tv1.xxx = tbl.xxx
where tbl.abc in (1,2,3)
In other words, SSRS isn't converting the multi-value parameter to a comma separated string, like it normally does.

In a table-valued UDF, does the UDF use a table variable or a temp table to form the resultset returned?

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)
