User Defined Function In Computed Column
Apr 25, 2007
I am trying to key a Personnel Table on a person's initials. Obviously there may be more than one person with the same initials so I am trying to use a User Defined Function to see how many of a certain set of initials are already there, and add 1 and add the number to the Key to make it unique - DW1, DW2, DW3 etc.
But I cannot get the Computed Column Specification to accept a user Defined Function.
any thoughts?
help will be appreciated

I have a user defined function (UDF) that takes 2 parameters. These parameters will be mapped from OLE DB source column values. I want the function result to be a new column that will be mapped to an OLE DB destination. Should this be done using a lookup task, OLE DB command task, or...? If this is possible I would appreciate a very specific example of how it's done.
BTW I tried using a lookup task with a SQL command before the UDF idea occurred to me and ran into problems using parameters in the SQL query:
Parameter Information cannot be derived from SQL statments. Set parameter information before preparing command.
I've seen the posts about going to the advanced tab and messing with the parameters there but I was hoping using a UDF would be easier, if it can be done.
Thanks.

Hi, I have a stored procedure that calls a scalar function. It works fine on my development database, but on my production database, I get this error when trying to execute the procedure: Cannot find either column "dbo" or the user-defined function or aggregate "dbo.MyFunction", or the name is ambiguous. However, I am able to execute the function outside of the procedure like this: select dbo.MyFunction(0, 0) Anyone have idea? I can't figure it out.

I'm trying to create a function that splits up a column by spaces, andI thought creating a function that finds the spaces with CHARINDEX andthen SUBSTRING on those values would an approach. I get an errorsaying that the I have an Invalid column 'Course_Number'. Not surewhy but I am very new to User Defined Functions. Here is what I haveso far:CREATE FUNCTION CourseEvalBreakdown(@fskey int)RETURNS @CourseTable TABLE(Col CHAR(2),Area CHAR(4),Number CHAR(4),Section CHAR(4),Term CHAR(3))ASBEGINDECLARE@Ind1 tinyint,@Ind2 tinyint,@Rows intDECLARE @crstbl TABLE (FStaffKey int,Course_Number char(20),Term char(3),Col char(2),Area char(4),Number char(4),Section char(3))INSERT INTO @crstbl (FStaffKey, Course_Number, Term)SELECT FStaffKey, Course_Number, TermFROM EvalWHERE FStaffKey = @fskeySET @Rows = @@rowcountWHILE @Rows 0BEGINSET @Ind1 = CHARINDEX(' ', Course_Number, 4)SET @Ind2 = CHARINDEX(' ',Course_Number, (CHARINDEX(' ',Course_Number, 4)+1))UPDATE @crstblSET Col = SUBSTRING(Course_Number, 1, 2)WHERE FStaffKey = @fskeyUPDATE @crstblSET Area = UPPER(SUBSTRING(Course_Number, 4, @Ind1-4))WHERE FStaffKey = @fskeyUPDATE @crstblSET Number = UPPER(SUBSTRING(Course_Number, @Ind1+1, (@Ind2-@Ind1)-1))WHERE FStaffKey = @fskeyUPDATE @crstblSET Section = SUBSTRING(Course_Number, @Ind2+1, 3)WHERE FStaffKey = @fskeyENDINSERT @CourseTableSELECT Col, Area, Number, Section, Term FROM @crstblRETURNENDGO

Hi everyone,
I would like to get some clarification about what these two concepts are.
This is what I think:
lets say that you want the user to choose two columns to add together and then that produces a calculated result. This would go in a computed field???
And user-defined functions are functions whereby users have for example to which which two columns they were going to allow to be processed for the calculation.
Is this correct???

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

I have a UDF that takes my input and returns the next valid business day date. My valid date excludes weekends and holidays.
It works perfect except for one issue. It doesn't check to see if today's date is a holiday.
I pass a query to sql server like so " select dbo.getstartdate('01/ 10/2007',2)"
It then moves ahead two business days and returns that date.
Here is the current code. Hopefully someone can tell me how to do the holiday check on the current date.
I really don't want to rewrite the whole script .
Code---------------------------------------------------------
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF GOSET ANSI_NULLS OFF GO

--declare function receiving two parameters ---the date we start counting and the number of business days
CREATE FUNCTION GetStartDate (@startdate datetime, @days int) RETURNS datetimeASBEGIN
--declare a counter to keep track of how many days are passingdeclare @counter int
/*Check your business rules. If 4 business days means you count starting tomorrow, set counter to 0. If you start counting today, set counter to 1*/set @counter = 1
--declare a variable to hold the ending datedeclare @enddate datetime
--set the end date to the start date. we'll be -- incrementing it for each passing business dayset @enddate = @startdate
/*Start your loop.While your counter (which was set to 1), is less than or equal to the number of business days increment your end date*/WHILE @counter <= @days
BEGIN
--for each day, we'll add one to the end dateset @enddate = DATEADD(dd, 1, @enddate)
--If the day is between 2 and 6 (meaning it's a week --day and the day is not in the holiday table, we'll --increment the counter IF (DATEPART(dw, @enddate) between 2 and 6) AND (@enddate not in ( select HolidayDate from tFederalHoliday where [HolidayYear] = datepart(yyyy,@enddate) ) ) BEGIN set @counter = @counter + 1 END

Hi everyone,
I am tring to pass acomma delimited string to a function and this function is parsing the string so that I can see individual values so for example I am passing 1,2,3,4,5 as a parameter to my function and I am parsing this string so that I can write something like this
Select * from tableA where userID in(1,2,3,4)
It is working fine. Only problem is if the user passes word 'all' instead of 1,2,3,4 then I have to doSelect * from tableA
My function looks like this. How can I modify this function if I pass 'all' as a paramater. Any help will be appreciated.CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ParseText2File] (@p_text varchar(4000), @p_Delimeter char(1))
RETURNS @results TABLE (id varchar(100))
AS
BEGIN
declare @i1 varchar(200)
declare @i2 varchar(200)
declare @tempResults Table (id varchar(100))
while len(@p_text) > 0 and charindex
(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) <> 0
begin
select @i1 = left(@p_text, charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) - 1)
insert @tempResults select @i1
select @p_text = right(@p_text, len(@p_text) - charindex(@p_Delimeter,@p_text))
end
insert @tempResults select @p_text
insert @results
select *
from @tempResults
return
END

How can I create a user defined function in SQL and call it inline from a SQL statement? I need the ability to execute a statement such as:
select myFunc(x,y) from table
I need myFunc(x,y) to return a value, not a recordset and use that value in the select statement. Any and all ideas would be appreciated.

Dear friends,
I am a new user for SQL server. Coming from an oracle background, I find it very difficult to live without user defined functions. At the moment, I urgently need to have a function returning an custom-made ID string, so that it can be used in one of my stored procedures. I have heard the rumours that SQL server 7 does NOT support user defined functions, (which SQL 6.5 does). I would be really grateful if anyone can clarify this for me, and if possible, suggest a get-around approach.
Thanks in advance!

I am trying to compare the data from one table (shipments) with the data from a view. The point of the function is to match the correct territory with the account depending on the data. Basically, I this deals with accounts that are transfering from one territory to another. The transfers take effect on the first day of the month, retroactive, therefore we need to allocate the sales data to the correct territory in the shipments table. Here is my function. Can someone tell me how I can get this to work and insert a territory ID for the account that has transfered into the shipments table?
CREATE FUNCTION fnShipments ()
RETURNS @Shipments TABLE (AccountID CHAR(10), DateInvoice DateTime, DollarShipments Money, TerritoryID CHAR(10))
AS
BEGIN
INSERT @Shipments (AccountID, DateInvoice, DollarShipments, TerritoryID)
SELECT Shipments.AccountID, Shipments.DateInvoice, DollarShipments, ISNULL((SELECT TerritoryID FROM vwAccountTransfers
WHERE Shipments.AccountID = vwAccountTransfers.AccountID
AND vwAccountTransfers.EffectiveMonth =
(SELECT MIN(EffectiveMonth)
FROM vwAccountTransfers
WHERE Shipments.AccountID = vwAccountTransfers.AccountID
AND DatePart(m,Shipments.DateInvoice) < vwAccountTransfers.EffectiveMonth)),
(SELECT TerritoryID FROM vwAccountTransfers
WHERE Shipments.AccountID = vwAccountTransfers.AccountID
AND vwAccountTransfers.EffectiveMonth Is Null )
) AS Territory
FROM Shipments
ORDER BY Shipments.AccountID, Shipments.DateInvoice;

I need a UDF that will do the following:
User: Will be sending me a datetime e.g '9 Nov 2004 15:00:00'
I want the UDF to do the following for me
Return in hours the difference between what the user has send and now (lets say now = '10 Nov 2004 11:00:00')
So the UDF will return to me 20.
But I dont want 20, I want the UDF to avoid any all hours which are not work related (any time after 16h00
until 8h00 in the morning), so I want this UDF to return 4. That means from '9 Nov 2004 15:00:00' I have calculated
1hr until 16h00 and 3hrs from 8 until 11h00 on '10 Nov 2004 11:00:00'
AGAIN IT MUST NOT CALCULATE WEEKENDS. Lets say '12 Nov 2004 15:00:00' was Friday and now = '15 Nov 2004 11:00:00', I must still
get 4 as a return from UDF
I would also like now to be my getdate(), but it seems like you can't use it in UDF

I create the following UDF just for learning purposes and I cannot seem to get it to return a value.
Stored Procedure
REATE PROCEDURE usp_GetXSection
@fWidth float,
@fHeight float,
@fResult float OUTPUT
AS
BEGIN
set @fResult = [dbo].[XSECTION](@fWidth, @fHeight)

GO
Ane the following UDF
CREATE FUNCTION XSECTION

RETURN (@Width * @Height)

I call it using ADO in a c++ application, but all returns empty
Any ideas? C++ code to follow.

I am accustomed to doing most of my function work in Access, but the boss would really like it if I could shedule some cubes to do the stuff that takes forever when you run it live.
To that end, I have an Access function that I call to get a field value for a query. I would like to be able to create an User Defined Function on the SQL server and call that function as a field value in a view. I have searched the forums and have not really found anything that wants to make sense to me as to how to do this.
The access function is as follows:
Public Function BuyerDeltas(IFSDate As Date, PODate As Date) As Long
If IFSDate < (Date + 14) Then
BuyerDeltas = IFSDate - 3 - PODate
ElseIf IFSDate < (Date + 29) Then
BuyerDeltas = IFSDate - 7 - PODate
ElseIf IFSDate > (Date + 28) Then
BuyerDeltas = IFSDate - 10 - PODate
Else
MsgBox "This should not be possible!", vbOKOnly, "Fix It!!!!!!!"
End If
End Function
The view that this is called from contains the IFSDate and PODate fields and I am able to call the function from the access query, but this is completely different than what I have seen in the help files on SQL.
I would love to be able to keep plugging away at doing this myself, but the boss also is pushing me to get it done and he doesn't want me taking forever to do it.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

hai,
the problem is - I have created a userdefined function using SQL 2000
create function getfulldate (@date varchar(10))returns datetimeasbegindeclare @getfulldate datetime set @getfulldate = dateadd (mi,55,@date)
return @getfulldateend
and normally we call this in the SQL statements as
select *, dbo.getfulldate('2006-05-03') from emp
This works fine and what I need was, I need to invoke the user-defined function like
select *, getfulldate('2006-05-03') from emp that is, without using "dbo".
If I call in that manner, it gives error as - 'getfulldate' is not a recognized function name.
So, here what is the purpose of dbo and can I call in my desired manner as mentioned above.
anyone guide me, thanks!

It is possible to use getdate() in userdefined function. If so, how to do the same ?
The following code throws error :

Hi,
I posted a question sometime back about any one has written a function which converts a given date to a a new timezone.
As it turns out I have actually written the function and it is functionally sound.
the issue I am not facing is the performace.
The Algorithm is pretty simple.
step 1
I have create a table called TZ1 which has the TImezoneCODE (PST,EST..), daylightsavingsstart (DATETIME on which the daylight savings start), daylightsavingsend ( end of DLS) and offset (EG -8 for PST, -5 for EST etc)
step 2
I check the timezone and pick out corresponding start and enddate for daylight savings.
Step 3
Depending on where the date lies I create a new date by adding offset to the original datetime (+1) for the new date and then return this new datetime.
As simple as this looks the response time is 16 times than that of a select statement without the function.
Do you see something that I can tune to get a better response time.
Heres my code

The values returned from the query would be somethig likethis -John 23456 Engineer Junior 23456Frank 33333 Engineer Senior 33333Tom 80331 Engineer Junior 80331I have thought about having two seperate udf's likeget_random_number() and use_last_random_number(), but I'm not sure howto store the value of the get_random_number() to be used byuse_last_random_number(). These udfs are used in bulk load requests,so performance is a big issue. Any suggestions would be greatlyappreciated. I know the example is kind of silly, but I think itillustrates the problem.

Hi,
How can I do dynamical exec to query in user-defined function? At the end I need to return the result.
Thank's

Hi,
I'm trying to write an aggregat in c#.It's no problem for sum or multiplication aggregates.
But when I try to use an array to stor the values in it, to compare them with each other,
I get the Message:
Fehler 1 Type "AggregatClr.AggregatClr" is marked for native serialization, but field "Werte" of type "AggregatClr.AggregatClr" is of type "mscorlib.System.Array" which is a non-value type. Native serialization types can only have fields of blittable types. If you wish to have a field of any other type, consider using different kind of serialization format, such as User Defined Serialization. AggregatClr
And when I try it with User Defined instead of Native:
Fehler 1 Type "AggregatClr.AggregatClr" is marked for user-defined serialization, but does not implement the "System.Data.Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.IBinarySerialize" interface. AggregatClr
What does that means? How can I do that??
Is it possible to use an Array in a User Defined Aggregat??
Thanks
Pam

I am trying to modify the C# example given in the "Invoking CLR User-Defined Aggregate Functions" in SQL Server 2005 Books Online. I want to add a parameter that is used as the list delimeter, instead of the hard coded comma that is used. I am not a C# programmer and don't know where to begin. Please help!

using System.Data;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;

]
public class Concatenate : IBinarySerialize

{
string output = string.Empty;
//delete the trailing comma, if any
if (this.intermediateResult != null

Hi all, I've tried all types of formats use this function and coming up with errors
the function works fine in SQL so not sure of the proper format to call a function with variaibles
have tried
EXEC EquivalentCase = dbo.udfEquivalentCase(@ConversionValue1= ?,@ConversionValue2 = ?, @CasesSold = ?, @CasesSold=?, @OwnershipCode = ?, @BusSegCode = ? )
and
dbo.udfEquivalentCase(?,?,?,?,?)
and
select
dbo.udfEquivalentCase(?,?,?,?,?)
is there somewhere that provides proper syntax for executing a user defined function from a OLE DB command?
Thanks
