In sqlserver 2000 I have a UDF which works fine but I want to make a
change to it. When I do an ALTER FUNCTION ... I get an error saying
that I can't alter the function because it is referenced by an object.
Is there any way around this? I reference the UDF in over 100 tables,
do I have to go to each table, remove the all references alter the
function then edit each 100 tables again? How clumsy can it be?

Hi,
I have a big table which is partitioned , I need to change the portioning function (including the column used by partition key). I don€™t want to change the table or use a temp table as there are a lot of dependent objects to this table
I wrote:
DECLARE @partition_count INT,@cmd VARCHAR(8000)
SELECT @partition_count=MAX(p.partition_Number) FROM sys.allocation_units A,sys.partitions P ,sys.data_spaces D
WHERE P.OBJECT_ID=OBJECT_ID('TABLEA')
AND A.container_id=P.Partition_id
AND A.data_space_id=D.data_space_id
SELECT @partition_count
WHILE (@partition_count>1)
BEGIN
SELECT @cmd='ALTER PARTITION FUNCTION MainPartitionFunction() MERGE range ('+CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),@partition_count-1)+')'
exec (@cmd)
SELECT @partition_count=@partition_count-1
End
Which will merge all the existing partitions to one. But I don€™t seem to be able to find a way change the existing funtion. ( in need to change the partition key all together)
Is there a way to disable or drop parition of the table all together (convert the table to a non-partitioned table) and then I can re define the parition function again.
Any ideas?

I'm currently stuck with a table that has 350 mil records. Querying this table is insanely slow so I had a better look at existing yearly partitioning. I already managed to partition on a month level which increased the performance/querrying a lot. I did this on the staging table where I used an alter statement to split the 2015 partition by 12 months.
However, in our project we used Data Vault. This means that we have 4 tables (hub, sathub, link, satlink), all carrying 350 mil records. The problem is that altering the partition function does not work. The server cannot handle this action. What the best way is to do this, without having to drop/reload all tables.

Is Rand function cannot be used in the User Defined function?
Thanks.
I need to be able to pass the output of a function to another function as input, where all functions involved are user-defined in-line table-valued functions. I already posted this on Stack Exchange, so here is a link to the relevant code: [URL] ...
I am fairly certain OUTER APPLY is the core answer here; there's *clearly* some way in which does *not* do what I need, or I would not get the null output you see in the link, but it seems clear that there should be a way to fool it into working.
Hi,
I wonder if there a function that i can use in the expression builder that return a value (e.g o) if the input value is null ( Like ifnull(colum1,0) )
i hope to have the answer because i need it so much.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I tried to do this myself, but couldn't figure it out since I am very unfamiliar with sql. I have a script that exports data from our store database to a file that is used to update our webstore database. I want to add a chunk to the script that will copy an image file from one directory to another as it loops through the database. I want to copy a picture from directory1 to directory2 that has a name SKU.jpg.
I was told in this forum by Ray Miao that the format of the statement would be:
xp_cmdshell 'Copy c:directory1SKU.jpg c:directory2SKU.jpg'
My problem is that I don't know how or where in my script to place this statement so that it will work. If this is simplke and someone can tell me the setup that would be great. If not, I would be willing to hire someone to do what needs to be done to this script and send it to me. I can be reached at darren@jbjgifts.com or 217-369-2686.

Hi smart people!
I would like to know how to alter a column to have a default value. For instance I have a column AreaCode Char(3) in a table. I have data in the table and now I want to add a default value of '123' to the AreaCode column.
I tried the following but did not work.
Alter Table Phone
Alter Column AreaCode Char(3) Default '123'
Can we even do it using SQL?
Thanks

Hi,
is it possible to override the system when adjusting
columns. i.e. a system override setting.
For instance if I've got a column that is indexed and I
want to adjust it from varchar(50) to varchar(51) it lets
me. But if I then try and adjust the column to varchar
(49) I get the error below:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
The index 'LastName' is dependent on column 'lastname'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN lastname failed because one or
more objects access this column.
I asked this question on another Forum and was told I had to drop the index first. Just thought I'd ask for a second opinion.
Thanks for the help.
