Hi All,
My question is :
Why we are using udf inside stored procedures ?
Will it make any performance faster for the stored procedure to execute ?
awaiting your reply.
Thanks

Hello all:
Running into a brain problem here. I remeber reading an article a while back (2002?) on either Visual Studio Magazine or MSDN Magazine where there was a way to generate Stored Procedures from User Defined Functions. I need this information in order to do my job as it is also a way to cut down on time for this project I am trying to finish. Does anyone have the code or remeber what I am talking about. I just finished Kathleen Dollards article again on using XSLT to generate code but would really like to use the User Defined Functions.
I searched for the article on line but came up dry. Searched through all my magazines but could not find the article. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bit of topic I guess but still relevant to the board.
Thanks
What are the pros and cons of each?
One advantage that I can see withh UDFs is that they are a bit a Views with parameters. You can perform joins on UDF columns (which you cannot do with a Stored Proc). You can do the same with Views but UDFs have the advantage that you restrict the number of rows with a parameterised WHERE (or HAVING) clause.
Hi to all, Can any body tell me what is the difference between Stored procedures and User Defined Functions ? In my assumption Function return a value or table, but SP doesn't return value instead of that SP use select statement or assign value to output statement. This is right?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,I'm tring to call a stored procedure i'v made from a DNN module, via .net control.When I try to execute this sql statement: EXEC my_proc_name 'prm_1', 'prm_2', ... the system displays this error: Could not find stored procedure ''. (including the trailings [".] chars :)I've tried to run the EXEC statement from SqlServerManagement Studio, and seems to works fine, but sometimes it displays the same error. So i've added the dbname and dbowner as prefix to my procedure name in the exec statement and then in SqlSrv ManStudio ALWAYS works, but in dnn it NEVER worked... Why? I think it could be a db permission problem but i'm not able to fix this trouble, since i'm not a db specialist and i don't know which contraint could give this problem. Also i've set to the ASPNET user the execute permissions for my procedure... nothing changes :( Shoud someone could help me?

I seem to be getting tasks that I am not familiar with these days. I am a
guy that has coded it all in the asp page or in the code behind in .NET.
This problem is outlined below and I need a help / advice on doing this. I
had the flow of the 3 parts to it expanded below. A call is made to a Stored
Procedure, The SP then calls a user defined function that runs SQL, this
returns a 1 or 0 to the SP which then returns the value back to the call on
the asp page. This is a lot I know but it is the way the lead guy wants it
done. Any help so I can keep most of the hair I have left is appreciated :-)
Short list of process flow:
1. Form.asp calls to rx_sp_HasAccessToClient in SQL SERVER
2. rx_sp_HasAccessToClient then calls ab_HasAccessToClient
3. ab_HasAccessToClient runs SQL command on db and sends return bit back to
rx_sp_HasAccessToClient
4. rx_sp_HasAccessToClient then sends this back to the call in the Form.asp
page
5. Form.asp then checks the Boolean and if 1 then show or if 0 then deny.

When i call user defined function from stored procedure, i am getting an error.

Hello,
Can we call stored procedure from user defined function and vice-versa??
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have a search returning many 'car' records (regno, mileage, color, etc)
In a seperate table I have two columns: accessory and regno. This can have many rows for each regnumber.
Within the storedprocedure that returns the 'car' records I need to also return the relevant accessories for that car as one column.
I have written a function as such (with some help!):
ALTER Function getAccs(@regNo varChar(20))
RETURNS varChar
AS
BEGIN
Declare @List varchar(1000)
SELECT @List = COALESCE(@List + ', ', '') + accessory
FROM frxrep2.dbo.usedaccessories WHERE regnumber = @regno
return @List
END
I was hoping that I could simply use this in the 'car' SELECT statement.
ie:
SELECT regNo, color, mileage, dob.getAccs(regno) as AccessoryList
FROM tableBla etc
I'm not even sure if the function works - How can I test in SQL analyzer?
any help much appreciated,
Pete
Hi,
I know that we cannot have User Defined Functions in SQL 7.0, but is there a work around. I am trying to standardize the date according to the time zone using a function and use it as part of a select statement.
I cannot believe that is not possible in SQL 7.0, can somebody tell me what is the work around, I am running against time. I really appreciate any help on this one.

Hi everyone
I am implementing an encrypted data system whereby captured data is encrypted using MS CAPICOM when written to DB and decrypted when displayed. It works well. However, each time you write the data back on update the encryption is different from the previous time.
I have a search screen that allows users to enter text data and submit it looking for matches. Of course, the user is entering unencrypted text and the DB data is encrypted.
This means that you can't encrypt the input data before you try to match because the encryption alogorithm used on the input data will not match that which was used to encrypt the DB data.
Are you with me so far?
So, you have to compare the uncencrypted input data with DECRYPTED DB data - in other words, decrypt the DB data on the fly within the where clause of your query.
I have accomplished this by writing a UDF that instantiates an instance of the CAPICOM encryption module and calling the UDF when applying the query
eg where udf(columnname1) = 'inputtext' or udf(columnname1) = 'inputtext'.
It works, I get the results that I want.
But, alas, the performance has taken a search severe hit.
Has anyone else ventured down this road?
Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks
Ray
hi all,
I made myself a user defined function, it works great, but is there a way to make it available to all databases?
cheers,

When I define a UDF in SQL 2000 I can't execute it without qualifiction. Here's the code:
CREATE FUNCTION GetLastShipDate(@DO_No CHAR(10))
RETURNS CHAR(10)
-- DROP FUNCTION GetLastShipDate
BEGIN
DECLARE @v_last_ship_date CHAR(10)
SELECT @v_last_ship_date = COALESCE(CONVERT(CHAR(10), MAX(Asn.Asn_Ship_DateTime), 110), '')
FROM Asn,Asn_Do
WHERE Asn_Do.Asn_Number=Asn.Asn_Number
AND Asn_Do.DO_Number = @DO_No
AND Asn.ASN_STATUS in ('SENT','RESENT')
RETURN @v_last_ship_date
END
So I have to execute this with:
SELECT dbo.GetLastShipDate('T010215004')
I want to execute it with
SELECT GetLastShipDate('T010215004')
What am I doing wrong?

Dear all,
I was given a project to transfer our database into sql server database.
In our previous database we used the datatype int4 for some columns to create some views and in some queries that we used to build our datawindows. In SQLServer 2000 i created a user defined function named int4. I can execute it with the line select dbo.int4(poso) from employee .
Unfortrunately this way make me to rebuild all my datawindows and replace int4( with dbo.int4( . Is there any way to execute queries using user defined function but omitting the first part name dbo. I mean to manage execute the command select int4(poso) from employee \let int4 be a user definded function.
If i can€™t solve this, i thing it will decided than is impossible to move to sqlserver Database. Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

I'm using MS SQL Server 2005.
I want to simulate a table, using a Multi-statement Table-Value User-Defined Function, but I need the function build the SQL statement from scratch each time so I can dynamically define values like the table it references. The only way I know how to run the query after it has been defined in this manner is to run an EXEC command. However I'm getting an error basically saying that the EXEC command is off limits in a User Defined Function.
The Exsact Error is:
>[Error] Script lines: 1-108 ------------------------
Invalid use of side-effecting or time-dependent operator in 'EXECUTE STRING' within a function.
Is there some way to get around this limitation of User Defined Functions. Or perhaps a way to simulate the functionality of Multi-statement Table-Value User-Defined Functions in a Store Procedure, specifically the ability to run where statements, or transform the data on the fly without re-writing the Stored Procedure every time.
The code I’m trying to run is below.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to offer you the following string functions Transact-SQL
GETWORDCOUNT() Counts the words in a string
GETWORDNUM() Returns a specified word from a string
AT() Returns the beginning numeric position of the first occurrence of a character expression within
another character expression, counting from the leftmost character
RAT() Returns the numeric position of the last (rightmost) occurrence of a character string within
another character string
OCCURS() Returns the number of times a character expression occurs within another character expression
PADL() Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the left side
PADR() Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the right side
PADC() Returns a string from an expression, padded with spaces or characters to a specified length on the both sides
PROPER() Returns from a character expression a string capitalized as appropriate for proper names
RCHARINDEX() Is similar to a built-in function Transact-SQL charindex but the search of which is on the right
ARABTOROMAN() Returns the character Roman number equivalent of a specified numeric expression
ROMANTOARAB() Returns the number equivalent of a specified character Roman number expression ...
More than 2000 people have already downloaded my functions. I hope you will find it useful as well.
