Hello
Is there a way that I can create a user defined variable in my database? I have a fairly large chunk of xml that I would like to store in the database that can be updated by clients ( in rare cases ). I could use other mechinisms to allow access to it, but all other application related information is stored nicely in this one place, I hate to vary for this single piece.
Thank you for your time and thoughts.

This is part of the codes of a stored procedure:
-- Create tables variables
DECLARE @_tab_PRNumList TABLE(
PRNum udt_PRNum
)
However, it cannot be compiled coz of this error:
Error 2715: Column or parameter #1: Cannot find data type udt_PRNum.
This user-defined data type is created in a user database only.
I tried to created the user-defined type into BOTH tempdb and master but same error.
How can i resolove it?
Or it is impossible to use user-defined datatype for table variable?
In the past,
i use this method:
CREATE TABLE #PRNumList (
PRNum udt_PRNum
)
and cerate udt_PRNum in tempdb only could solve it.
But now i want to use table variable.
It seems NOT work for my situation.
Any idea?
I'm trying to create a simple function that will do a count on a table. I want to pass the table name in form of a parameter to the variable and this function will return the count as an int. See my function below...
CREATE FUNCTION count_rows (@tablename varchar(100)
RETURNS int AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @emp_count AS int
declare @declaration varchar(100)
[Code] ....
The errors I am getting are as follows:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure count_rows, Line 3
Incorrect syntax near 'RETURNS'.
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure count_rows, Line 10
Incorrect syntax near '@declaration'.
Msg 178, Level 15, State 1, Procedure count_rows, Line 14
A RETURN statement with a return value cannot be used in this context.
Hello,
Please can anyone tell me if or how I have to cross reference to a user defined variable from a script task in the SQL of a Data Reader Source?
The script task creates a variable for the last Sales Ledger Session. The SQL in the data reader source that updates the DW sales invoice lines file based upon those invoice lines where the session number is greater than the value from the script task.
The SQL command in the custom properties doesn't cross reference back to the variable.
If anyone can help or needs further detail to help please post a resonse.
Thanks,

hai,
how can i identify the function is user defined or the system defined function....................
Our server has integrated security setup, upon startup of the server,
we have a continuous flow of error msg:
Login Failed: Reason: User '_' not defined as a valid user of trusted
connection.
The timing of these messages only around 30 seconds apart
The only incident from Technet I can find is Q186314, but we don't have replication setup, anyone knows where I can look into ?
I recycle the server but didn't help.
I appreciate any help I can get ..
Thanks.
Hi,
i'm a newbie in SQL. I can't connect to SQL 6.5 server using ASP ADO. Below is the program code
<%
set conn=server.createobject("adodb.connection")
conn.open "dsn=Central;uid=sa;pwd="
%>
An error message appears
Login failed- User: Reason: Not defined as a valid user of a trusted SQL Server connection.
I've already created a ODBC System DSN named Central
parameter Server Local and used Trusted connection checked.
Then under sql Manager there is a sa with a blank password.
Please help.
if a dataset doesnt use a stored proc to define a table variable, what is the scope of that table variable? Does the name need to be unique from such variables defined by other datasets?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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've a view in which one of the fields were DATEDIFF(day,contract date,received) AS AgeOfAccount. I changed it to DATEDIFF(day, m.received, CASE WHEN m.clidlp > m.clidlc THEN m.clidlp ELSE m.clidlc END) * - 1 AS AgeOfAccount. When I execute the view I'm getting an error. But the results are getting displayed properly. That's what's puzzling me. Could someone tell me what the error is.

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 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

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.
Satish.
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;
RETURN

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
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

I am running a procedure that declares a table with a user defined variable called ZipCodes8000. This datatype is on the systypes table as a valid datatype that we created. Here is the code and the error that is returned. Can anyone help me understand why I receive the error that I do.
Code:
DECLARE @SortPlanBinZipCodeRanges TABLE
(
SortPlanBinZipCodeRangeIDINT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
SortPlanBinID INT NULL,
SortPlanID INT NULL,
BinTypeID TINYINT NULL,
BinFlagTypeID TINYINT NULL,
BinNumber INT NULL,
ZipCodeRanges ZipCodes8000 NULL
)
error:

Column or parameter #7: Cannot find data type ZipCodes8000.
Thank you in advance.

I've been doing some reading on UDT's and have a question...
It was suggested in one of the pieces I read that you could create a UDT for, in their example, cities. And every table that had a reference to city could share this datatype. Now, my initial thought was "wow, what a great idea! I wouldn't have to remember the exact datatype for my primary keys (was it a char(5) or char(6)?) and have a "central depository" for my key datatypes.
So the first question is; what are the disadvantages of such a design?
And the second is; How do you update a UDT? If business requirements change and udt_city needs to be changed from varchar(30) to varchar(60), for example, what would be the way of echoing the change thoughout your database?
My gut reaction for the answers are
1) performance will decrease as effectively the dbms has to "parse" every insert/update to a UDT field in a different method.
2) create a new udt and alter any tables referencing the old one before dropping it.
What do we think?
hi all,
I made myself a user defined function, it works great, but is there a way to make it available to all databases?

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?

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!
