Greetings,
Is there anything new on returning max of two values in SQL 05? There seems to be nothing I have searched everywhere. Only option might be to create my own UDF or do a CASE statement, but I could not believe my eyes there is no such thing?
Thanks
I am using a table to store different size numbers for example:
Look at the picture below:
But I want this type of output look at the picture below:
How to sort the query to return greater than zero values to sort up and zeros go down.
I am using sql server 2008.
I'm using sys.dm_fts_parser dynamic management function to tokenize a string of characters >4000. The function doesn't accept a query_string parameter >4000 characters. Is there a way around this? I've tried to execute the SELECT defined in the function but that doesn't work.

I have a table Called Elasticity. Including some other fields it has a field called ElastVal of decimal type (2 places). The records for just this field are like this (example);
ElastVal
-450.88
-32.99
1.22
56.77
0.99
In my select I want to return all the fields from the Elasticity table including Elasticity in a way that even the negative numbers will be reterive as positive.
So in the above example the output should be;
ElastVal
450.88
32.99
1.22
56.77
0.99
How Can I do this in my select?
Please help.

I'm a Reporting Services New-Be.
I'm trying to create a report that's based on a SQL-2005 Stored Procedure.
I added the Report Designer, a Report dataset ( based on a shared datasource).
When I try to build the project in BIDS, I get an error. The error occurs three times, once for each parameter on the stored procedure.
I'll only reproduce one instance of the error for the sake of brevity.
[rsCompilerErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the query parameter 'UserID' contains an error : [BC30654] 'Return' statement in a Function, Get, or Operator must return a value.
I've searched on this error and it looks like it's a Visual Basic error :
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8x403818(VS.80).aspx
My guess is that BIDS is creating some VB code behind the scenes for the report.
I can't find any other information that seems to fit this error.
The other reports in the BIDS project built successfully before I added this report, so it must be something specific to the report.
BTW, the Stored Procedure this report is based on a global temp table. The other reports do not use temp tables.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks,
I have data in a table Item_TB that I need to extract in a way that pulls out the distinct pax name and all the ticket numbers associated with the passenger per booking reference.
The data is:
Branch Folder ID Pax TktNo BookingRef
HQ 123 1 Jim 4444 ABCDE
HQ 123 2 Bob 5555 ABCDE
HQ 123 3 Jim 6666 ABCDE
HQ 123 4 Bob 7777 ABCDE
HQ 124 1 Jenny 8888 FGHIJ
HQ 124 2 Jenny 9999 FGHIJ
HQ 124 3 Jenny 3333 FGHIJ
I somehow need to get a function to pull the data out for each booking ref like so
--BookingRef ABCDE
Jim 4444/
6666
Bob 5555
7777
--BookingRef FGHIJ
Jenny 8888/
9999/
3333
I know I can get a simple function to return the all data, but I do not know how to only include the pax name once.
I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

I want to write a function that returns the physical filepath of the master database for its MDF and LDF files respectively. This information will then be used to create a new database in the same location as the master database for those servers that do not have the MDF and LDF files in the default locations.
Below I have the T-SQL for the function created and a test query I am using to test the results. If I print out the value of @MDF_FILE_PATH within the funtion, I get the result needed. When making a call to the function and printing out the variable, all I get is the first letter of the drive and nothing else.
You may notice that in the function how CHARINDEX is being used. I am not sure why, but if I put a backslash "" as expression1 within the SELECT statement, I do not get the value of the drive. In other words I get "MSSQLData" instead of "D:MSSQLData" I then supply the backslash in the SET statement. I assume that this has something to do with my question.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
HERE IS T-SQL FOR THE FUNCTION
IF OBJECT_ID('fn_sqlmgr_get_mdf_filepath') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
DROP FUNCTION fn_sqlmgr_get_mdf_filepath
END

What I'm trying to do is provide a solution where users can upload an image and a description, to a database, so I'm trying to insert the title and description then return the @@identity for the image upload function which will name the image like this

Hi,
I basically do not want to return a null value as a result of using a sum function (using sum against 0 rows).
Is there a common way to avoid this?
Thanx

Hi,
I am trying to return [string/SqlString] from a CLR function, but it was truncated at 8000 characters.
How can I solve this problem and return varchar(MAX)?
Thanks
Hi guys!
the problem is this:
I have a procedure that execute a function and i want to catch the return function value but i'm getting a null value.
I'm using:
exec @a = <function>
but the @a variable is allways null...
If i exec the function directly, i get the correct value.
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
I have a function that is using a select case decision structure to arrive at a return value:
[dbo].[fn_Window]

@End AS INT) RETURNS VARCHAR(5)

BEGIN
SELECT
CASE
/*** Pick up the extended periods here ***/
WHEN @Start = 1 AND @End = 1 THEN 'TRUE'
ELSE 'FALSE'
END
END
**** from here how do I get the function to return true or false? ****
Can I assign the select case result to a variable? If so how?
Hi,I have a sql 2005 function who return a distance from 2 zipcodes. This function is called from a Stored procedure like this :SELECT *, dbo.fn_GetDistance (...)

View 3 Replies View RelatedCannot see where I am going wrong. I always get a value of 0. I know my function works correctly, so it must be the VB.

hi can anyone please help me
i have a stored procedure ,can i put the value of this into a variable......????
I have one more query ---how can i pass the multiple values returned by this stored procedure into a single variable ...
example if my stored procedure is
[dbo].[GetPortfolioName](@NT_Account varchar(100) )
and ans of this are
NL
UK
IN
GN
JK
then how can i put this into a variable like
Declare @PortfolioName as varchar(250)
set @PortfolioName =(exec ].[GetPortfolioName](@NT_Account) )
.......
and my ans is
@PortfolioName = 'NL','UK','IN','GN','JK'
now can i make a function which returns 'NL','UK','IN','GN','JK'
I have created the following user function :-
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER function [dbo].[GetBillPrice](@BillLineID int)
returns float
as
begin
DECLARE @BillPrice float
SET @BillPrice = (
SELECT ((CAST(T_BillValueAndTax.BillValueAndTaxBillValue as float))+(CAST(T_BillTax.BillTaxTax1Value as float)) +(CAST(T_BillTax.BillTaxTax2Value as float)))
FROM T_BillLine
INNER JOIN T_BillValueAndTax on T_BillValueAndTax.BillValueAndTaxID = T_BillLine.BillValueAndTaxID_Price
INNER JOIN T_BillTax on T_BillTax.BillTaxID = T_BillValueAndTax.BillTaxID_Bill
WHERE T_BillLine.BillLineID = @BillLineID)
return ABS(@BillPrice)
end
No matter how I try to return the @BillPrice value, the value is rounded to the nearest whole number. For instance if the value is calculated as 198.75 the value returned is 199.0
When I execute the function in Query Anlayser the correct value of 198.75 is returned.
Any help in solving this would be greatly appreciated.
I have a function that I need to call from an execute sql task. I want to bind the return value from the function to an ssis variable.

I have tried many things without success.

INNER JOIN TBL_Pick P ON P.PickItemID = I.PickItemID
WHERE L.PickTypeID = ' + CAST(@TypeID as varchar) + '
AND CaseID = ' + CAST(@CaseID as varchar)
END
RETURN @RTN
END
Each time I try " RETURN EXEC(@RTN) " or something similar I get an error.
I have tried executing the tsql and assigning the result to a varchar and returning that varchar but i get an error.
Anyone with any ideas?

Can anyone please advise on how to return back a null value. Currently, my only other option is to return nothing (actually returns 0) and then wrap this up to convert the value to null - not ideal.
Thanks,

WHERE (APPLI_SUPPLIER_SKILL.N_SKILL_ID IN (2, 3, 4, 5, 6))
This is the error :
Server: Msg 557, Level 16, State 2, Procedure APPLI_RETURN_LIST_ITEM, Line 24
Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.
When I do an exec of the function I have this problem :
