Why Does A Function Call Require Two Part Naming?

Apr 3, 2008

Hi,
I just found out that when I create a user defined scalar function, I must call it using dbo.[myFunctionName]. Why won't it work w/out dbo? Why are stored procedures able to use omit dbo?

Also, what is dbo specifying? I'm very unfamiliar with sql server security. Is this the user, schema, role? What's a schema? lol. Thanks.

Schema Compare Errors Using Three Part Naming

Jul 28, 2015

I am importing an existing database into a Visual Studio SQL Server Database project using Schema Compare.  The Schema Compare works fine and I updated my project successfully.  However, the project won't build because of the existence of 3-part names in some objects:

E.g. I import the database MyDB into a new project MyDB using Schema Compare.  The database contains views with queries like this:

SELECT col1, col2. col3
FROM MyDB.dbo.MyTable

When trying to build this project I get errors like:

Error 39
SQL71561: View: [dbo].[vw_MyView] has an unresolved reference to object [MyDB].[dbo].[MyTable].
C:UsersRedirectionrittg2DocumentsVisual Studio 2012ProjectsMySolutionMyDBdboViewsvw_MyView_1.sql

but of course this is a bogus message since the view can clearly read from an object in the same database whether using 2-, 3-part naming (or 4-part naming for that matter).

How can I resolve these errors without editing the objects before running Schema Compare? (there are hundreds of them).

Linked Servers, Catalog Property And Four Part Naming?

Apr 13, 2007

I've finaly gotten a Linke Server up and running and been playing around with the settings, and one question keeps bugging me.



What is the point of the Catalog property value when you always have to put that database in the four part naming anyways?



Thanks.

SQL 2007 Query Designer Using 4 Part Naming Linked Server - Bug ????

Jul 6, 2007

I have a linked server in SQL 2007 form SQL to DB2.(IBM)

If I write a distributed query from SQL to DB2 I get mt data returned.
ie:
select *
from openquery(Movex_Extranet,'Select * From mvxadta.ooline')

If I write a Query from SQL to DB2 using the 4-part naming convention linkserver.catalog.schema.object
then I also get my data returned.


ie:
select *
from MOVEX_EXTRANET.RCHASE5C.MVXADTA.OOLINE

My problem is with the Query Designer in SQL2007.

When I right click the first lot of code and select "Design query in editor"
The Designer GUI opens up and displays my table in graphical form with all columns selected - Great.



But When I repeat this for the code that uses the 4 part naming
The Designer opens up and displays the table but with no columns viewable or available for me to select ??

Anyone know what might be causing this to happen.
Is it a bug in SQL 2007 ??

I have tried linking the server using 2 types of providers ( One from Microsoft & one from IBM) but each time I still cannot see or choose columns in the designer using the 4part naming convention.


The 2 providers I tried where.
Microsoft OLE DB for ODBC Drivers.
IBM DB2 UDB for Iseries IBMDA400 OLE DB Provider



Any help greatly appretiated as I would really love to use the designer using 4part naming convention.

Apparently if you read this the it should work ?

SQL 2012 :: Function With 2nd Part Working On Results 1st Part

Jan 28, 2015

I have made the following Scalar-valued function:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[TimeCalc]
(
@OriginalTime AS INTEGER
, @TenthsOrHundredths AS INTEGER -- code 2: 1/10, code 4: 1/100
)
RETURNS NVARCHAR(8)

[Code] ....

What it does is convert numbers to times

E.g.: 81230 gets divided by 10 (times in seconds: 8123). This 1 1 full minute, and the remainder = 2123 making it 1.21.23 mins)

So far so good (function works perfectly)

My question: sometimes times are in 1/100 (like above sample), sometimes in 1/10.

This means that, e.g. with a time like 3.23.40 the last zero must be deleted.

My thoughts are to use the results from the Return Case part, and as the code = 4: leave it as it is,

is the code 2 the use LEFT(... result Return Case ..., Len(..result Return Case.. - 1))

There are 5 codes: 0 1 2 3 and 4

Function Naming And Execution

Oct 17, 2006

Hi,

I am converting a database from Oracle to SQL-Server 2005 and in that context I needed to implement a function in the database. My database default uses the dbo schema and the function is there too. I define a function called "Translate" and wanted to use it like this :

SELECT translate(Phonenumber, '0123456789 ()+-', '0123456789') as PhonenumberFROM Customer

but what pussled my was that in order to make this work I had to prefix the translate method with "dbo." like this :

SELECT
dbo.translate(Phonenumber, '0123456789 ()+-', '0123456789') as Phonenumber
FROM
Customer

as all "objects" I'm using resides in the dbo schema - why must I prefiks only the function and not the table????

Final Part - Min() Function

May 23, 2006

I have the final part of my report to complete. Yesterday I posted the most confusing set of threads ever on a public forum. So to cut the confusion, I am starting this thread again as now I know exactly what I need.

I have two tables each of which have a function that gathers data from them based around a set of parameters. This is then manipulated by a third function and the results of which are passed into a Stored Procedure. Here is the T-SQL syntax used for the SP;

SELECT fnWTRalldataReport.Areacode, fnWTRalldataReport.siteref, fnWTRalldataReport.estatename, fnWTRalldataReport.Securitised,

fnWTRalldataReport.unitref, fnWTRalldataReport.unittype, fnWTRalldataReport.unittype_count, fnWTRalldataReport.tenantname,

fnWTRalldataReport.tenantstatus, fnWTRalldataReport.tenantstatus_count, fnWTRalldataReport.unitstatus, fnWTRalldataReport.unitstatus_count,

fnWTRalldataReport.floortotal, fnWTRalldataReport.floortotocc, fnWTRalldataReport.floorspaceperc, fnWTRalldataReport.initialvacarea,

fnWTRalldataReport.initialvacnet, fnWTRalldataReport.TotalRent, fnWTRalldataReport.NetRent, fnWTRalldataReport.FinalRtLsincSC,

fnWTRalldataReport.rentrolldiscperc, fnWTRalldataReport.netrentpersqft, fnWTRalldataReport.ErvTot, fnWTRalldataReport.tenancyterm,

fnWTRalldataReport.landact, fnWTRalldataReport.datadate, fnWTRalldataReport.div_mgr, fnWTRalldataReport.portfolio_mgr,

fnWTRalldataReport.propcat, fnWTRalldataReport.budgeted_net_rent, fnWTRalldataReport.budgeted_occupancy,

fnWTRbudgetdata_1.budgeted_net_rent AS budget_rent, fnWTRbudgetdata_1.budgeted_occupancy AS budget_occ

FROM dbo.fnWTRalldataReport(@dt_src_date, @chr_div, @vch_portfolio_no, @vch_prop_cat) AS fnWTRalldataReport LEFT OUTER JOIN

dbo.fnWTRbudgetdata(@dt_src_date) AS fnWTRbudgetdata_1 ON fnWTRalldataReport.siteref = fnWTRbudgetdata_1.site_ref

The result of this SQL places a value for budget_rent and budget_occ against every row that the 1st function's result set. What I want to achieve is that where the site_ref is equal in both functions results, I want it to place the budget_rent & budget_occ value against the first row only of each site_ref only.

To explain briefly the structure. Table one has various fields including site_ref and unit_ref. There are many unit_ref's per site_ref in this table. Table 2 has only site_ref and budget info. Someone yesterday suggested that I could achieve this my using something along the lines of the Min() function e.g. Min(unit_ref).

Could someone please elaborate on this for me. I have gone through my SQL book and read about min() and also BOL, but I can't quite work the syntax out to put the budget info against only one line per site based around the lowest unit_ref per site_ref.

This might seem confusing, but it is easier to read than the other thread I assure you.

Regards

Need Help Understanding A Call To A Sql Function

Feb 25, 2008

Can someone help me to understand a stored procedure I am learning about? At line 12 below, the code is calling a function named"ttg_sfGroupsByPartyId" I ran the function manually and it returns several rows/records from the query. So I am wondering? does a call to the function return a temporary table? And if so, is the temporary table named PartyId? If so, the logic seems strange to me because earlier they are using the name PartyId as a variable name that is passed in.
 
1  ALTER              PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetPortalSettings]2  (3     @PartyId    uniqueidentifier,45  AS6  SET NOCOUNT ON7  CREATE TABLE #Groups8  (PartyId uniqueidentifier)910 /* Cache list of groups user belongs in */11 INSERT INTO #Groups (PartyId)12 SELECT PartyId FROM ttg_sfGroupsByPartyId(@PartyId)

Call Custom SQL Function In ASP.NET

May 9, 2006

I made an SQL function in MSSQL2000. This is a function that get's a calculated heat emission. When I run the Query in MSSQL2000 the function works. It calculates every emission for every row. When I call this SQL function in VS2005, it says it does not recognize the function. Does anyone know what this may cause? thank you. For the people who are bored, I added the SQL statement. The error is at the function

SELECT TOP 15 tbProducts.prod_code, tbProductProperties.prop_height, tbProductProperties.prop_length, tbProductProperties.prop_type, tbProductProperties.prop_default_emission, tbProductProperties.prop_weight, tbProductProperties.prop_water_volume, tbProductProperties.prop_n_value, GetHeatEmission(50,70,20,[prop_default_emission],[prop_n_value]) AS customEmission FROM tbProductClassification INNER JOIN tbProducts ON tbProductClassification.clprod_fk_prod_id = tbProducts.prod_id INNER JOIN tbProductProperties ON tbProducts.prod_id = tbProductProperties.prop_fk_prod_id WHERE (tbProductClassification.clprod_fk_class_id = 3327) AND (prop_height >= '030') AND (prop_height = '060') AND (prop_length

Call Function From Stored Procedure

Jan 19, 2007

Hi All,
I'll admit that I'm not the greatest at stored procedure/functions but I want to learn as much as possible.  So I have two questions:
1) I had VS2005 autogenerate a sqldatasource that created Select/Insert/Update stored procedures.  When Updating a record and calling the stored procedure, I want to query another table (we'll call it tblBatchNo) that has only one record, Batchno.  I want to put that current batchno into the Update statement and update the record with the current batchno.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  Remember that I'm still a beginner on this subject.
2) Can someone provide any links to online tutorials on t-sql?
Thanks in advance.

Function Call In Dataset Query

Jul 19, 2007

Hello Guys,



I have a question that seems easy but I can not figure out...



Premise:

Have Custom code that fixes Divide by Zero Errors in SSRS. I have added the code to the Custom Code area in Report Properties correctly.



I have a Dataset that has a calculation for a column within a select statement



Query Pseudocode:



select ...[FRC%]=convert(decimal(13,2),sum(cost))/convert(decimal(13,2),sum(income))...
,year
from

(subquery"blah" )

Union

(Subquery"blah")



Custom Code:



Public Function SafeDiv(ByVal numerator as Double, ByVal denominator as Double) as Double
if denominator = 0 then
return 0
else
return numerator/denominator
end if
End Function



How To use:



If you have a field that does division and you need to eliminate the divide by zero error that occurs with SSRS then type =code.SafeDiv(first,second) in the field.



Problem:

How do I add this code reference in the following dataset select statement



select ...[FRC%]=convert(decimal(13,2),sum(cost))/convert(decimal(13,2),sum(income))...
,year
from

(subquery"blah" )

Union

(Subquery"blah") table1











I tried to do this:

from this:

[FRC%]=convert(decimal(13,2),sum(cost))/convert(decimal(13,2),sum(income)) ...

to this

[FRC%]=code.Safediv(convert(decimal(13,2),sum(cost)),convert(decimal(13,2),sum(income))) ...









But it did not work...gave me this error:



TITLE: Microsoft Report Designer
------------------------------

An error occurred while executing the query.
Cannot find either column "code" or the user-defined function or aggregate "code.safediv", or the name is ambiguous.
