SQL Function In Select

Oct 24, 2006

Hi,
What I want to do is include a function in my select:

select myFunc(aTable.aFieldValue), aTable.aFieldValue from aTable

but where myFunc actually returns a Table instead of a scalar. How can I do this please?

for example, I know:

select * from myFunc(123) from aTable

will work fine.

and

select myScalarFunc(aTable.aFieldValue) from aTable

will also work.

But how can i get the 123 value from a table?

Multi Select Parameter From Function - Select All?

Sep 6, 2007



I am using RS 2000. I have a multi select parameter where I can select multiple states by separating with a comma. I am trying to figure out how to incorporate an "All" parameter.

Query:

Select [name], city, state, zipcode
From Golf inner join charlist_to_table(@State,Default)f on State = f.str

Function:

CREATE FUNCTION charlist_to_table
(@list ntext,
@delimiter nchar(1) = N',')
RETURNS @tbl Table (listpos int IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
str varchar(4000),
nstr nvarchar(2000)) AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @pos int,
@textpos int,
@chunklen smallint,
@tmpstr nvarchar(4000),
@leftover nvarchar(4000),
@tmpval nvarchar(4000)
SET @textpos = 1
SET @leftover = ''
WHILE @textpos <= datalength(@list) / 2
BEGIN
SET @chunklen = 4000 - datalength(@leftover) / 2
SET @tmpstr = @leftover + substring(@list, @textpos, @chunklen)
SET @textpos = @textpos + @chunklen
SET @pos = charindex(@delimiter, @tmpstr)
WHILE @pos > 0
BEGIN
SET @tmpval = ltrim(rtrim(left(@tmpstr, @pos - 1)))
INSERT @tbl (str, nstr) VALUES(@tmpval, @tmpval)
SET @tmpstr = substring(@tmpstr, @pos + 1, len(@tmpstr))
SET @pos = charindex(@delimiter, @tmpstr)
END
SET @leftover = @tmpstr
END
INSERT @tbl(str, nstr) VALUES (ltrim(rtrim(@leftover)),
ltrim(rtrim(@leftover)))
RETURN
END
GO


Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Can i do the same thing with a table function (e.g "select * from server_name.db_name.owner.MyFun_name()")?
Is there a way to do it?

I m having problem with the "Select" function
the error I m getting is
Select statements included within a function cannot return data to a client (error 444)


Cann I use "select" statement in the function? If not what is the alternative?


I reduced the size of the sproc because it is a big one, I donn have any proble with syntax.

Function Used Twice In Select Statement

May 22, 2008

Hi,

I've got a complex UDF I need to call twice in a select statement, as shown below:

SELECT

dbo.myFunction(colName),
dbo.myFunction(colName) * 2
FROM

tableName

The problem is, the result of "dbo.myFunction(colName)" is not being cached, so the function is executed again for "dbo.myFunction(colName) * 2". This is having a significant impact on performance (doubling the amount of time it takes for the query to execute).

Is there any way I can write the query so that dbo.myFunction is only executed once?

Thanks for your help,

Andrew

Use DateDiff Function Within Select Statement

Feb 3, 2015

I'm trying to use the DateDiff function within my select statement, but I'd like to add the parameter of greater than 30 days. This will have the query only return records where my bill stop date is greater than 30 days from the completion date. I currently have the datediff function within my select statement as

DATEDIFF (d,A.StopBillDate, a.CompletionDate) as [DIFFERENCE]

I would prefer to keep the datediff function within the select statement so as to have difference in days appear as a column within my output.I have been unable to add the parameter of > 30 days to the query without getting an error.

SQL Select To Avoid Use Of Aggregate Function MAX

Apr 16, 2008

Can you provide me a way to avoid using the aggregate function Max in the following select statement?


SELECT a.clmssn,

a.cossn,

Max(b.clm_seq_num) as clm_seq_num,

Max(c.chrs_seq_num) as chrs_seq_num,

Max(b.clm_dcn_dt) as clm_dcn_dt

FROM Claim a

LEFT OUTER JOIN clmdcn b

ON a.clmssn = b.clmssn

AND a.cossn = b.cossn

AND a.clm_seq_num = b.clm_seq_num

INNER JOIN clmchrs c

ON a.clmssn = c.clmssn

AND a.cossn = c.cossn

AND a.clm_seq_num = c.clm_seq_num

Group By a.clmssn, a.cossn

Order By a.clmssn, a.cossn


I want to join another table, Juris, to get the Crnt_Office column but the aggregate function Max forces me to include Crnt_Office it in the group by clause. This results in returning all rows containing unique office codes. I only want the office code from the row with the highest Clm_Seq_Num and Juris_Seq_Num.


Juris

Clmssn = key

Cossn = key

Clm_seq_num = key

Juris_seq_num = key

Crnt_Office


The following returns incorrect results:


SELECT a.clmssn,

a.cossn,

Max(a.clm_seq_num) as clm_seq_num,

Max(c.chrs_seq_num) as chrs_seq_num,

Max(d.juris_seq_num) as juris_seq_num,

Max(b.clm_dcn_dt) as clm_dcn_dt,

d.crnt_office

FROM mt16ic_Claim a

LEFT OUTER JOIN mt16ic_clmdcn b

ON a.clmssn = b.clmssn

AND a.cossn = b.cossn

AND a.clm_seq_num = b.clm_seq_num

LEFT OUTER JOIN mt16ic_juris d

ON a.clmssn = d.clmssn

AND a.cossn = d.cossn

AND a.clm_seq_num = d.clm_seq_num

INNER JOIN mt16ic_clmchrs c

ON a.clmssn = c.clmssn

AND a.cossn = c.cossn

AND a.clm_seq_num = c.clm_seq_num

Group By a.clmssn, a.cossn, d.crnt_office

Order By a.clmssn, a.cossn


If more information is needed, I have data examples but could not include them due to character size limit. Thank you for your help.

Aggregate Function For Select Statement Result?

Oct 19, 2004

Ok, for a bunch of cleanup that i am doing with one of my Portal Modules, i need to do some pretty wikid conversions from multi-view/stored procedure calls and put them in less spid calls.

currently, we have a web graph that is hitting the sql server some 60+ times with data queries, and lets just say, thats not good. so far i have every bit of data that i need in a pretty complex sql call, now there is only one thing left to do.

Problem:
i need to call an aggregate count on the results of another aggregate function (sum) with a group by.

*ex: select count(select sum(Sales) from ActSales Group by SalesDate) from ActSales


This is seriously hurting me, because from everything i have tried, i keep getting an error at the second select in that statement. is there anotherway without using views or stored procedures to do this? i want to imbed this into my mega sql statement so i am only hitting the server up with one spid.

thanks,

Column 'STATI.Z4400' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.


I know it has something todo with the select on the table SRTAS, but what's the best way to solve this problem without the chance of getting a wrong result.

The SELECT on SRTAS is to get the "description" of STATI.Z4414 who's stored in the table SRTAS.
I only want to group on the fields that will be inserted in WERKS.Z8602, WERKS.Z8603, WERKS.Z8604, WERKS.Z8605, WERKS.Z8606. So adding STATI.Z4400 to the GROUP BY would give me wrong results?

This query is dynamicly generated from within my program from what the user selected.

Also, if there are better ways to write the query, I would be happy to get some hints and tips, but if possible without stored procedures.

Thanks in advance!

Has SELECT INTO With IDENTITY() Function Changed The Way #'s Are Assigned?

Oct 10, 2007

We have SELECT INTO queries that use the IDENTITY function to assign a sequential row number to a result set based upon a sort order. This has been helpful in SQL Server 2000 for median determination. It appears, however, that in SQL Server 2005, the row numbers are not assigned sequentially, or maybe they are assigned before the sort order is applied.

Can anyone verify whether the IDENTITY function has changed behavior between 2000 and 2005? We would prefer not to have to make changes to existing queries. Thank you.


(BTW, the workaround we found so far is to put the initial SELECT...ORDER BY in a subquery, but then we had to include a phrase like TOP 10000000 to pass syntax check. Is there a better way?)

SQL 2012 :: Using Count Function And Case In One Select Statement

Jul 9, 2014

I am selecting the count of the students in a class by suing select COUNT(studentid) as StCount FROM dbo.student But I need to use a case statement on this like if count is less than 10 I need to return 'Small class' if the count is between 10 to 50 then I need to return 'Medium class' and if the count is more than 50 then 'Big class'.

Right now I am achieving this by the following case statement

SELECT 'ClassSize' = CASE WHEN Stcount<10 THEN 'Small Class'
WHEN Stcount>=10 and StCount<=50THEN 'Medium Class'
WHEN Stcount>50 THEN 'Big Class'
END
FROM(
select COUNT(studentid) as Stcount FROM dbo.student) Stdtbl

But can I do this with just one select statement?

Trouble Calling Function In View &&amp; Multi-Table Select...

Aug 13, 2007

How 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

Transact SQL :: Select Statement Not Working In User Defined Function

Nov 3, 2015

The select statement:

SELECT DATEDIFF(n , LAG(CAST(Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(Time AS DATETIME), 1) OVER ( ORDER BY Date, Time ),
       CAST(Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(Time AS DATETIME))
   FROM [DataGapTest]

Gives the right output:

NULL
1
1
3548
0

However, when I put the statement in a function, I get only zeros as the output. It's as if the lag and current value are always the same (but they are not of course).

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetTimeInterval(@DATE date, @TIME time)
RETURNS INT
AS
  BEGIN
 DECLARE @timeInterval INT
   SELECT @timeInterval = DATEDIFF(n , LAG(CAST(@Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(@Time AS DATETIME), 1) OVER ( ORDER BY Date, Time ),
       CAST(@Date AS DATETIME) + CAST(@Time AS DATETIME))
   FROM dbo.[DataGapTest]

In this example of a table order items where there are order_num, quantity and item_prices how could I declare ordertotal as a variable then instead of repeating it again at "having sum", instead use the variable in its place?

Any example of such a use of a variable that still lets me select the order_num, ordertotal and group them etc? I hope to simply replace in the "having section" the agg function with "ordertotal" which bombs out.

select order_num, sum(quantity*item_price) as ordertotal
from orderitems
group by order_num
having sum(quantity*item_price) >=50
order by ordertotal;

SQL Server 2012 :: Column X Is Invalid In Select List Because It Is Not Contained In Aggregate Function

Apr 3, 2015

I have a specific variation on the standard 'Column Invalid' question: I have this query that works fine:

SELECT vd.Question ,
csq.Q# ,
csq.Q_Sort ,
csq.Q_SubSort ,
AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC ,
vd.RType

[Code] ....

When I add this second average column like this:

SELECT vd.Question ,
csq.Q# ,
csq.Q_Sort ,
csq.Q_SubSort ,
AVG(CAST(vd.Response AS FLOAT)) AS AvgC ,

[Code] ....

I get the error: Column 'dbo.vwData.Response' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.

Clearly things are in the right place before the change, so I can only assume that the OVER clause is my problem. Is this just not possible?

Transact SQL :: Declaring Cursor Causing Select Statements Included Within A Function Cannot Return Data To Client?

Sep 29, 2015

I cannot find the problem with this function.

ALTER function [Event].[DetermineTrackTime](@TrialID varchar(max)) returns int as
begin
Declare @ret int;
Declare @EnterVolumeTime int;
Declare @ExitVolumeTime int;
Declare @StartTrackTime int;

[code]....

I am getting the following error on line 75:

Select statements included within a function cannot return data to a client.

This is happening when declaring TrackUpdateCursor

The compiler has no problem with the VolumeTimesCursor. What is causing this and what can I do about it?

In-Line Table-Valued Function: How To Get The Result Out From The Function?

Dec 9, 2007

Hi 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,
Scott Chang
