Intensively Used Function In View Needs A Minimum And Maximum From A Table

Jul 23, 2005

I have a problem (who not?) with a function which i'm using in a view.This function is a function which calculates a integer value of adate. For example: '12/31/2004 00:00:00" becomes 20041231. This isvery handy in a datawarehouse and performes superfast. But here is myproblem.My calendar table is limited by a couple of years. What happens isthat sometimes a value is loaded which is not in the range of theCalendardate. What we want to do is when a date is loaded is that thisfunction insert a minimum date when date < minimum date and a maximumdate when date > maximum date.Yes i know you're thinking : This is datamanipulation and yes this istrue. But now we loose information in our cubes and reports by innerjoining. So if we can use a minimum and a maximum than a user wouldsay: "This is strange, a lot of values on 1980/1/1!" instead of "Ithink that i have not all the data!"GreetzHennie

Dyamic View/function Based On Table Data (?)

Sep 21, 2006

Hey,First, sorry if this post appear twice, because, I can not find my postrecently send, trying to post it once again.I'm out of ideas, so, I thought, will search help here again :(I'm trying to prepare a view for ext. app. This is in normal cases veryeasy, but what if the view structure should be dynamic?!Here is my point (I will siplify the examples).I have a table:create table t_data (id bigint identity (1,1) not null,valvarchar(10) not null,data varchar(100) not nullconstraint [PK_t_data] primary key clustered(id) with fillfactor = 90 on [PRIMARY] )goinsert into t_data (val, data) values('1111111111','1234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz 1234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz67890abcdefghij klmnoprstuvwxyz')insert into t_data (val, data) values('2222222222','1234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz 1234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz12345abcdefghij klmnoprstuvwxyz')insert into t_data (val, data) values('3333333333','12345abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz12345 67890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz1234567890abcdefghij klmnoprstuvwxyz')insert into t_data (val, data) values('4444444444','67890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz12345 67890abcdefg12345hijklmnoprstuvwxyz67890abcdefghij klmnoprstuvwxyz')insert into t_data (val, data) values('5555555555','1230abcdefghijklmnoprst12345uvwxyz1 234567890abcdefghijklmnoprstuvwxyz67890abcdefghijk lmnoprstuvwxyz')gocreate table t_dataVal (id bigint identity (1,1) not null,valvarchar(10) not null,fill varchar(4) not nullconstraint [PK_t_dataVal] primary key clustered(id) with fillfactor = 90 on [PRIMARY] )goinsert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('1111111111','AAAA')insert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('2222222222','KKKK')insert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('3333333333','DDDD')insert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('4444444444','ZZZZ')insert into t_dataVal (val, fill) values ('5555555555','CCCC')gocreate table t_conf (id bigint identity (1,1) not null,start int not null,length int not null,description varchar(20) not null,constraint [PK_t_conf] primary key clustered(id) with fillfactor = 90 on [PRIMARY] )goinsert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (1,10,'value_1')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (11,3,'value_2')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values(55,15,'value_3')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (33,2,'value_4')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (88,1,'value_5')insert into t_conf (start, length, description) values (56,7,'value_6')goNow here is the issue:table t_conf contain data, which can be modified by user. The user isseting the appropriate values.Now, there should be a view, which returns:- as headers (collumn names) this what is defined in description columnof t_conf (for example: value_1, value_2 ... value_6)- as values, substrings of all data from t_data, cutted with start andlength values for appropriate decription from t_conf.- first two columns of view, should be column val and fill of t_dataValtableSo the effect should be like this:valfillvalue_1value_2value_3value_4value_5value61111111111AAAA1234567890abc....2222222222KKKK1234567890abc....3333333333DDDD12345abcdefgh....4444444444ZZZZ67890abcdefgh....5555555555CCCC1230abcdefghi....of course, for all other value_x should be the appropriate substringsshown.Sounds simple, hm?Well, I'm trying to do this, since yesterday evening, and can not :(In real life, the call of view/function might happend a lot.The table t_data might have around 4000 records, but the data string islonger (around 3000 characters).Application, might acess a udf, which returns table, and I was focusingin that.Was trying, to create local temp table in function, to insert values,using cursor over t_conf.Unfortunately, everything what I get, is just a vertical representationof the data, and I need it horizontal :(The other problem in function is, that I can not use exec() (wll known)so I can not even create a table,dynamicly, using as column names description value from table t_conf,and as size of field length from this table.Sorry, that the description is maybe not exactly for my problem, butthis is because I'm not even sure, which way to use :(any help will be appreciated!Thank You - Matik

Trouble Calling Function In View && 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

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')

RIGHT Function In A View

Jul 21, 2004

Hiya folks,

Having a problem with a view.

I'm using the syntax

Right('000' & Myfield,3) to 'pad' out the results.

ie if MyField contained 45 the answer should be : 045

but i'm getting the results of : 0

Stuck!! Any offers kind people??

Function In A View

Sep 18, 2007

SELECT *
FROM dbo.Objects
WHERE (UserRights & dbo.GetUserRights()) > 0)

The purpose of this view is to implement row level security. The Field, UserRights is a BigInt and holds up to 64 bits corresponding to the user or group that has a right to view this record.

The Function GetUserRights() is a function which returns an Int corresponding to the user rights of the person who is currently logged in. In a bitwise fashion, it then "ands" them together to see if the value is greater than 0. If so, the user has rights to the record.

If I hardcode a value to replace the function, the Select statement is very fast. However, if I use the function it is extremely slow. I believe this is due to the function getting run once for each row of the table, instead of just once.

Is there a way to rewrite this so that it only runs once? I could do this in a stored procedure, but I need it in a view so that I can use replace "Objects" (the table) with "vwObjects" the view.

Thanks,

Greg

Is There Anyway To Create A View Within A Function

Dec 5, 2007

Hi, Is there anyway to create a view within a Function? The code is as below. I execute the code between "BEGIN" and "END". SQL Analyzer report error that said

'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch.

I could make the variable constant in SELECT statement, but I'm wondering if there is a way to make CREATE VIEW as part of code piece.

CREATE Function GetCommonFailurs()
AS
BEGIN
IF OBJECT_ID(N'CommonFailures') IS NOT NULL
DROP VIEW CommonFailures
DECLARE @Run1Result as char(4), @Run2Result as char(4);
SET @Run1Result='Fail';
SET @Run2Result='Fail';
CREATE VIEW CommonFailures
AS
SELECT Run1Failures.RunID as Run1ID,
Run2Failures.RunID as Run2ID,
@Run1Result as 'Run1Result',
@Run2Result as 'Run2Result',
Run1Failures.SmartyDOTXMLFilePath as Run1SmartyFilePath,
Run2Failures.SmartyDOTXMLFilePath as Run2SmartyFilePath,
Run1Failures.SDET as SDET,
Run1Failures.CommandLine as CommandLine,
Run1Failures.OutputFilePath as OutputFilePath
FROM Run1Failures
INNER JOIN Run2Failures
ON Run1Failures.TestID = Run2Failures.TestID

Totals (or Sum) In A Function Or View

Jul 20, 2006

I have the following data in a table:

Item Qty

1 1

1 -1

2 3

2 -1

2 -1

Using a function, how can I code it so that I get the following:

Item Qty

1 0

2 1

Also, if a Qty does equal 0 (as in item 1), can I use a >0 in the Criteria field of the resultant expression to remove it from the Function results?

Scripting Out SP/View/function To Something Other Than BINARY

Aug 17, 2007

Is there a way in 2005 to script out, directly, a funciton/SP/View or whatever and not have it binary? I used to be able to script something out in 2000 and it would be text and then I could check it into sourcesafe NP and as you know text is much easier to use the compair feature against than binary. Is there a setting in SQL 2005 to handle this? Is it something in Sourcesafe that I need to set?

Thanks,

Create View Of Inline Function

Sep 12, 2007

Hello. I'm a real newbie - using Access 2003 front end and connecting to SQL Server 2005 ODBC.
I'm having trouble accessing functions through access. I've built the following function:

CREATE FUNCTION fnSTR_LEASESTATUS(@TRS nvarchar(12))

RETURNS TABLE

AS

RETURN

(

SELECT dbo.tblTRACT.STR, dbo.tblTRACT.[TRACT_#], dbo.tblMIN_OWNERS.Min_Owner_Name AS [OWNER OF RECORD], dbo.tblLEASE_TRACTS.LOC_ID, dbo.tblLOCATION.LPR_No, dbo.tblLOCATION.Lease_ID, dbo.tblLEASE_LOG.Date_Mailed, dbo.tblLEASE_LOG.Scan_Lease_Received, dbo.tblLEASE_LOG.Orig_Lease_Recd, dbo.tblLPR_INVOICES.Invoice_No, dbo.tblLPR_PAY.CHECK_DRAFT_No, dbo.tblLESSORS.Name AS [Lease Name]

FROM dbo.tblTRACT LEFT JOIN ((dbo.tblMIN_OWNERS RIGHT JOIN dbo.tblTRACT_OWNER ON dbo.tblMIN_OWNERS.Min_Owner_ID = dbo.tblTRACT_OWNER.Owner_Lease) LEFT JOIN ((((((dbo.tblLPR RIGHT JOIN dbo.tblLOCATION ON dbo.tblLPR.LPR_No = dbo.tblLOCATION.LPR_No) LEFT JOIN dbo.tblLESSORS ON dbo.tblLPR.Lessor_Number = dbo.tblLESSORS.Lessor_Number) RIGHT JOIN dbo.tblLEASE_TRACTS ON dbo.tblLOCATION.LOC_ID = dbo.tblLEASE_TRACTS.LOC_ID) LEFT JOIN dbo.tblLEASE_LOG ON dbo.tblLPR.LPR_No = dbo.tblLEASE_LOG.LPR_No) LEFT JOIN dbo.tblLPR_INVOICES ON dbo.tblLPR.LPR_No = dbo.tblLPR_INVOICES.LPR_No) LEFT JOIN dbo.tblLPR_PAY ON dbo.tblLPR.LPR_No = dbo.tblLPR_PAY.LPR_No) ON dbo.tblTRACT_OWNER.TRACT__Owner_ID = dbo.tblLEASE_TRACTS.Tract_Owner_Id) ON (dbo.tblTRACT.[TRACT_#] = dbo.tblTRACT_OWNER.[TRACT_#]) AND (dbo.tblTRACT.STR = dbo.tblTRACT_OWNER.STR)

WHERE (((dbo.tblTRACT.STR)=@TRS))

)

GO

I understand now I can create a view of the function Simply by using the function name in my FROM statement. However I get an error that arguments provided do not match parameters required. However, I'm not getting the prompt to enter my criterion. Is my error in my function statement? I can't save the view. I also understand I could use a pass-through query. Is there some sort of guidance or tutorial on that to which you could point me?
Thanks for your time.

MS Access' IIF Function In A MS SQL Server View

Oct 16, 2006

I am translating some of my Access queries to SQL views. In one of those, I had a very convenient function called "IIF" (e.g. IIf(IsNull([Remark]),"NULL","NOT NULL").

How is this function called in the MS SQL Server 2000? Apparently I cannot use either "IIF" nor "CASE" in the query/view.....

A Function That Creates A View (dynamic SQL)

Jan 23, 2008

I'm very new to SQL Server. Please help. I need to create a FUNCTION that creates a view. Then call this function in a SQL which is passed as a parameter to BCP. In Oracle, it would be something like:

create function CREATEVIEW

return number as

begin

create view SampleView as SELECT a,b,c from Mytable;

return 1;

when others then return 0; -- for exception handling

end:

create function DROPVIEW

return number as

begin

Drop view SampleView;

return 1;

when others then return 0; -- for exception handling

end:

Then my BCP will have something like:

BCP "select CREATEVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..

then

BCP "select * from SampleView"... QUERYOUT ..

then drop the view again:

BCP "select DROPVIEW from dual"... QUERYOUT ..

I know there is no DUAL table in SQL SERVER. I just want to know how to code this in SQL Server.

The origin of my problem is that my SQL statement is too long to fit as BCP parameter, hence, am creating a view and reading there and dropping it again. If you can provide me with a better workaround, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

View With Aggregate Function And Joined Tables

Mar 2, 2007

I have created the following view:

Create view vwOrderItemTotal2
AS
SELECT ItemName, fkMenuItemID, Sum(Quantity) as [SumOfMenuITems] FROM OrderItems GROUP BY fkMenuItemId, ItemName

When I present my data in a GridView, it works fine. For example, several orders for milk are returned as a summary quantity of 26 gallons in a single row of the GridView like this:

26 Milk

Now I need to filter my data by OrderDate and Zipcode. I created this new view:

Create view vwOrderItemTotal5
AS
SELECT Orders.Zipcode, Orders.OrderDate, OrderItems.ItemName, OrderItems.fkMenuItemID, Sum(Quantity) as [SumOfMenuITems]
FROM Orders INNER JOIN OrderItems
ON Orders.OrderID = OrderItems.fkOrderID
GROUP BY fkMenuItemId, ItemName, Zipcode, OrderDate

When I present my data in a Gridview using the new view I get a GridView with multiple rows for milk where each order has its own row like this:

1 Milk
5 Milk
6 Milk
6 Milk
3 Milk
1 Milk
4 Milk

But I want the data presentation in one row for each ItemName (e.g. Milk) as with my first view. Can I adjust my new view to achieve this, or should I stick with my first view (vwOrderItemTotal2) and adjust the Select Command in my SqlDataSource (hasn’t worked yet).
I think that what I want is for the returned data to be grouped by fkMenuItemId only, but the sql server admin won’t let me create a view without including the other fields in the Group By clause. Thanks for any help provided in solving this.

View Vs. Function Vs. Procedure - Really Basic Question

Jul 24, 2005

I'm a developer, not a DB admin. I'm writing a .NET app that usescrystal reports.The table I need to output is built inside a stored procedure. Nochoice, it makes use of some temporary tables. (Believe me I've triedto get around that.)Crystal reports seems to only know about tables and views. It lookslike a view cannot call procedures. It can call functions, but in turnthey also can't call procedures. I am hosed, what now?Performance is not a factor here, small data sets, I just gotta get thething working.

Problem With HOST_NAME Function With Linked View

Oct 30, 2005

I have an Access 2000 MDB file with a SQL 7 back end. I have a main tablewith 50,000 records; and I have a selections table with 50,000 records foreach machine that uses the database (about 25-50). This allows each user tohave their own set of selections.The selections table has three fields: ID (int), Sel (bit), MachName(varchar). ID and MachName comprise the primary key.I have a view that combines the main table and the entries for theselections table for the current machine (SQL below). The view works finewhen opened in EM and QA. And if I create a pass-through query from myAccess MDB file, the results are displayed fine.However, if I link the view to the Access MDB file, I get "#Deleted" inevery field of every record (which seems to indicate that the records werethere and then they were gone). However, if I hard-code the machine nameinto the same view instead of using HOST_NAME and then relink the view tothe MDB file, the linked view opens fine. Only when I use HOST_NAME as aparameter in the view is there a problem with it.Anyone have any idea what's going on here, or have heard of any issues withHOST_NAME and ODBC linked objects? SQL for the view is below.Thanks!NeilSELECT INVTRY.*, InvtrySelections.Sel, InvtrySelections.MachNameFROM dbo.INVTRY INNER JOINdbo.InvtrySelections ONdbo.INVTRY.ID = dbo.InvtrySelections.IDWHERE (dbo.InvtrySelections.MachName = HOST_NAME())

Replication :: Unable To Replicate A View Or Function

Nov 13, 2015

I have some issue when replicating a view (transactional replication).I have following objects on publisher:

Table: [Metadataschema].[Entity]
View: [dbo].[EntityLogicalView]
the view definition is:

create view [dbo].[EntityLogicalView] as (SELECT * FROM [Entity] WHERE OverwriteTime = 0)

this is what I get when I run "Script View as Create". The same query is used by the replication.Unfortunately this query fails on the subscriber "Unable to replicate a view or function because the referenced objects or columns are not present on the Subscriber". I cannot even runt his query manually on the subscriber, it only works when I change it like this:create view [dbo].[EntityLogicalView] as (SELECT * FROM [Metadataschema].[Entity] WHERE OverwriteTime = 0) Is there any way to get this working? Can I change the creation scripts used by the replication or force publisher to include schema names in all objects?

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

From the code in VWD2008 I only get the error when i include this info here: When i press update and these below are included in the update statement then i get the error.

View Or Function 'MutualFund' Is Not Updatable Because The Modification Affects Multiple Base Tables.

Mar 4, 2008

View or function 'MutualFund' is not updatable because the modification affects multiple base tables.

I get the above error when i try to delete rows from a view.
i tried the following code with a table. it works perfectly. i want the same behaviour for a view.
can anyone help.

Delete MutualFund
from MutualFund inner join MutualFund_history
on MutualFund.SecurityID= MutualFund_history.SecurityIDwhere MutualFund.MorningstarCategoryID=MutualFund_history.MorningstarCategoryID and
MutualFund.MorningstarAssetClassID= MutualFund_history.MorningstarAssetClassID and
MutualFund_history.insertdt =(Select MAX(DsegLastUpdated) from Timestamp_History(nolock))

"MutualFund" is a view.
if it were a table, the above works well. but how can i simulate the same effect for a view.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

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.

User Defined Function: Convert String Value Of Table To Table Object

Jul 20, 2005

Does anyone know where to find or how to write a quick user defined fucntionthat will return a table object when passed the string name of the tableobject. The reason why I want dynamicallly set the table name in a storedprocudue WITHOUT using concatination and exec a SQL String.HenceIf @small_int_parameter_previous = 1 then@vchar_tablename = "sales_previous"else@vchar_tablename = "sales"Endselect * from udf_TableLookup(@vchar_tablename )So if I pass 1, that means I want all records from "sales_previous"otherwise give me all records from "sales" (Sales_Previous would last yearssales data for example).udf_TableLookup would I guess lookup in sysobjects for the table name andreturn the table object? I don't know how to do this.I want to do this to avoid having 2 stored procedures..one for current andone for previous year.Please respond to group so others may benfiit from you knowledge.ThanksErik
