SQL Server 2012 :: Create A Function That Take A Value And Run Some Logic And Output The Value?
Feb 20, 2015I would like to create a function that take a value and run some logic and output the value
I have a table like this
Table A
value
*
001
004.00
3.0
1.22
Logic I want to run is
The value that you are passing is numeric and numeric with only decimal 0 value, and then convert it to integer otherwise leave as it is
So if I run a query something like this
Select value, fn_convertointerger(value) as converted_value from TableA
I will get
Value converted_value
* *
001 1
004.00 4
3.0 3
1.22 1.22
2.02 2.02
4.000 4

Unable To Create Function
Mar 28, 2002Hi All,
I'm running SQL Server 2002 and trying to create a User Defined Function. However, everytime I try to save the script I get Error 170 Incorrect Syntax near 'FUNCTION'.
This happens if I create the Function from Code or use the Enterprise Manager. I'm logged in with 'sa' privs, so I don't think it's a privilege issue. I'm well confused.

View 1 Replies View RelatedCan't Create Recursive Function
Aug 1, 2007Greetings.
I'm having trouble creating a recursive function in T-SQL (SQL Server 2000).
I've got a table that has an ID column and a ParentID column. Each row can have a value in the ParentID column that references the ID column of another record - I'll call such rows "child records". I'll cal the row referenced by the ParentID the "parent record".
Each child record can itself have another child record.
I need a function that will take an ID column value as a parameter, and walk up the chain of parent records until I get the first record in the series and return that record's ID value. I'll call that record the "UrParent record".
I'm trygin to create a recursive function called ufunc_ST_GetUrParentCertNum. In the function, there is of course a recursive call to itself - GetUrParentCertNum. However, when I try to run the CREATE FUNCTION script, I get the error:
Server: Msg 195, Level 15, State 10, Procedure ufunc_ST_GetUrParentCertNum, Line 26
'ufunc_ST_GetUrParentCertNum' is not a recognized function name.
I tried the same thing with a Stored Procedure, and that worked fine. However, I really want this to work as a function.
Does anyone have advice on how I can achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Create View Of Inline Function

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.
Fail To Create CLR Function In SQL 2005
Apr 22, 2008Can anyone help me to create a URL decode user defined function in SQL Server 2005?
I want to use the method [System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlDecode] in .net framework, and I try to add it as a CLR function to SQL Server but always fail. It depends on [System.Web.dll], and when I try to create assembly [System.Web] using following scripts, it will fail:
CREATE ASSEMBLY [System.Web] FROM 'C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727System.Web.dll'
WITH PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE
Error:
CREATE ASSEMBLY for assembly 'System.Web' failed because assembly 'System.Web' is not authorized for PERMISSION_SET = UNSAFE.
The assembly is authorized when either of the following is true:
the database owner (DBO) has UNSAFE ASSEMBLY permission and the database has the TRUSTWORTHY database property on;
or the assembly is signed with a certificate or an asymmetric key that has a corresponding login with UNSAFE ASSEMBLY permission.
If you have restored or attached this database, make sure the database owner is mapped to the correct login on this server. If not, use sp_changedbowner to fix the problem.
I have searched the MSDN and then add following scripts before mine:
ALTER DATABASE [DatabaseName] SET TRUSTWORTHY ON
CREATE ASYMMETRIC KEY SystemWebKey FROM EXECUTABLE FILE = 'C:WindowsMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727System.Web.dll'
CREATE LOGIN CLRLogin FROM ASYMMETRIC KEY SystemWebKey
GRANT UNSAFE ASSEMBLY TO CLRLogin
But unfortunately it fails again with same error.

Create A TO_DATE Function For Use In SQLServer 2005
Feb 28, 2008Hi ,
I 'm working with visual studio 2005 and I have created an SQLServer Project.
I'm using the CLR functionality which comes with SQLserver 2005. This means that I can write VB.nEt code and use it inside Sqlserver 2005.So far so good.
I am now inside the .NET
I have created a Function(must remind you that I have created an SQLserver Project) which takes two string arguments. The date value in a string format and the string format.
In Our case the function returns a string.It will return a datetime although.
So we have
Dim Datetime_Val As DateTime = Nothing
Dim Date_Val As Date = Nothing
Dim StrTemp As String = ""
Dim StrDateTemp As String = Nothing
Dim StrTimeTemp As String = Nothing
Dim ls_return As String = Nothing
Dim lindexof As Integer
Dim Counter As Integer = 0
lindexof = 0
Select Case StrFormat
Case "DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MIS"
For Counter = 1 To 2
lindexof = StrDate.IndexOf("-", lindexof + 1)
Next
lindexof += 5
StrDateTemp = StrDate.Substring(0, lindexof).Trim
StrTimeTemp = StrDate.Substring(StrDateTemp.Length, StrDate.Length - StrDateTemp.Length).Trim
ls_return = StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp
End Select
The above is a simple code. As you can see I'm trying to convert the TO_DATE function ,which work with ORACLE, to make it work with SQLServer 2005.
I've been trying unsuccessfully to combine the variables StrDateTemp and StrTimeTemp into a datetime value. I used the following code but nothing
Datetime_Val = CDate(StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp)
Didn't work
Datetime_Val = Convert.ToDateTime(StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp)
Didn't work
Datetime_Val = DateTime.Parse(StrDateTemp & " " & StrTimeTemp)
Didn't work
Inside SQlServer I used this SQL statement
Select dbo.TO_DATE('31-12-1990 00:26:46','DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MIS')
But I am receiveing an error. I want to avoid changing all of my applications with a specific format.This sql statement without the dbo prefix I'm using in Oracle. I want to keep the format of the SQL and let VB.NET do the parsing for me. It is easier for me to put in my SQLs the dbo infront rather changing the complete SQL.
I have two questions . How am I going to create a TO_DATE function which Oracle uses and write something similar in SQLserver ?
And If I cannot do that how am I going to get the database 's datetime format and create with VB.NET the Datetime value from the two variables ?
My problem I believe is quite complex. I would be mostly appreciated if you could help me on this.
Thank you

Transact SQL :: Create A Function To Define Query-filter
Jul 6, 2015Is there a way to define a query-filter (Example: WHERE column1 > 5 AND column2 = 'value') in a function?
So I can create a query like this:
SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE MyFunction()
I know it's a bit of a strange question, but I'm writing a dynamic software that will have the ability to run Stored Procedures on any database to create some data-checks. Through parametrisation, a user can define for a specific Stored Procedure that some results are no longer necessary in the result-set.
Example:
ID - Name - State
1 - Jozef De Veuster - Mad
2 - Piet Husentruut - Not Happy
3 - Jeroen Meus - Angry
Is the result of a Stored Procedure "Show_me_unhappy_persons". But we already know that Jozef De Veuster is ALWAYS Mad, so a user can say: Exclude ID = 1, so it won't appear anymore in the result.
I want to handle this by doing:
SELECT *
FROM PeopleStates
WHERE --Some stuff--
AND CheckUserExclusions(SomeID)
And CheckUserExclusions will translate to "NOT (ID = 1)"
