Dear all,
can i write a table return function like this?
create function my_function(
returns @MYTABLE table(NAME VARCHAR(20),SES VARCHAR(20),CNT DECIMAL(10),MYDATE DATATIME)
insert into @mytable
select col1,col2,col3,col4 from tab1
go
select col1,col2,col3,col4 from tab2
go
select col1,col2,col3,col4 from tab3
go
select col1,col2,col3,col4 from tab4
go
return
end
am i doing correct?
what i'm expecting from this function is, i need all the data from select statements should be inserted into one table.
please guide me in this regard
Vinod
Even you learn 1%, Learn it with 100% confidence.
Here is the scenario, I have 2 stored procedures, SP1 and SP2
SP1 has the following code:
declare @tmp as varchar(300) set @tmp = 'SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET ( ''SQLOLEDB'', ''SERVER=.;Trusted_Connection=yes'', ''SET FMTONLY OFF EXEC ' + db_name() + '..StoredProcedure'' )'
EXEC (@tmp)
SP2 has the following code:
SELECT * FROM SP1 (which won't work because SP1 is a stored procedure. A view, a table valued function, or a temporary table must be used for this)
Views - can't use a view because they don't allow dynamic sql and the db_name() in the OPENROWSET function must be used. Temp Tables - can't use these because it would cause a large hit on system performance due to the frequency SP2 and others like it will be used. Functions - My last resort is to use a table valued function as shown:
FUNCTION MyFunction ( ) RETURNS @retTable ( @Field1 int, @Field2 varchar(50) ) AS BEGIN -- the problem here is that I need to call SP1 and assign it's resulting data into the -- @retTable variable
-- this statement is incorrect, but it's meaning is my goal INSERT @retTableSELECT *FROM SP1
Hi, We Have Been Trying To Convert Some Pf The Procs Into Functions Of Late,but There Is A Problem :-we Have Been Unable To Return More Than 1 Table Value From A Function.
Create Function F_clusters() Returns @ki Table(names Nvarchar(200),total Int), As Begin Insert @ki Select Names,count(distinct Chremail) As From Customer Where Chremail Is Not Null Return End
This Works Fine :- And Gives The Reqd. Results.
But,
If I Am Using The Same Function To Return Two Tables Then It Doesn't Work,could You Pls Chk.
Create Function F_clusters() Returns @ki Table(names Nvarchar(200),total Int),@k2 Table(names Nvarchar(200),total Int) As Begin Declare @cnt Int Set @cnt = 1 While @cnt <= 2 If @cnt =1 Begin Insert @ki Select Names,count(distinct Chremail) As From Customer Where Chremail Is Not Null Set @cnt = @cnt + 1 End If @cnt =2 Begin Insert @k2 Select @naamre,count(distinct(a.intcustomerid)) As Pura_ginti From Trcustomerpreference03july A Inner Join Cleancustomer B On A.intcustomerid = B.intcustomerid Where Chremail <> ' ' And Chremail Is Not Null And Intpreferenceid In (6,7,2,3,12,10) Set @cnt2 = @cnt2 + 1 End End Return End
Can We Return Two Tables Or Is It Not Possible ? Pls Chk Into This And Tell Me.
I want to write a function, which accept 3 parameters, 1 TableName 2 ColumnName 3 DateValue, and returns number of records in that table for that particular date(in parameter date), I have written below function but it is not returning the desired result.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.[f_Rec_cnt] (@InTableName NVARCHAR(100), @InDtColName NVARCHAR(50), @InDate NVARCHAR(50) ) RETURNS INT
Some automated tools use sp_columns to find out the columns for a table, view or UDF that returns table.
In SQL Server 2000 it gives columns back but in SQL Server 2005 it does not, compat level set at 80 and 90.
Does anyone have an idea what id going on here?
Repro script below. I expect the script to return information about the two columns in the table defined in fnTestColumnsFromFunctions().
if exists (select 1 from sysobjects where id = object_id('dbo.fnTestColumnsFromFunctions') and type in ('IF', 'FN', 'TF')) drop function dbo.fnTestColumnsFromFunctions; go
create function dbo.fnTestColumnsFromFunctions() returns @TestTable table ( ttID int, ttName varchar(50) ) as begin return; end go
if exists (select 1 from sysobjects where id = object_id('dbo.fnTestColumnsFromFunctions') and type in ('IF', 'FN', 'TF')) drop function dbo.fnTestColumnsFromFunctions; go
My overarching goal is to generate sets of random Symptom records for each Enrollee in a drug study, so that for each cycle (period of time), the code will insert a random number of random records for each enrollee.
I'm trying to return a number of random records from a table, but inside a table-valued function... (which could be my problem).
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ufn_GetTopSymptoms ( @enrollID INT , @CTCVersion VARCHAR(20) , @NumRecords INT ) RETURNS TABLE
[Code] ....
But that ORDER BY NEWID() clause is illegal apparently, because here's the error it throws:
Msg 443, Level 16, State 1, Procedure ufn_GetTopSymptoms, Line 13 Invalid use of a side-effecting operator 'newid' within a function.
I was hoping I could return a set of enrollmentIDs and then use CROSS APPLY to generate a random set of records for each enrollmentID... is this not possible with APPLY? I was trying to avoid using a cursor...
The idea is basically to create all the Symptom records for all the patients in treatment cycle at once by using Enrollee OUTER APPLY dbo.ufn_GetTopSymtoms(dbo.Enrollment.EnrolleeID)
but that's clearly not working. Is there a way to do this without resorting to a cursor?
I've to write a function to return a comma delimited values from a table columns
If a table has Tab1 ( Col1,Col2,Col3).
E.g. as below ( the columnName content I want to use as columns for my pivot table
CREATE FUNCTION [RPT].[GetListOfCol] ( @vCat NVARCHAR(4000) ) RETURNS @PList AS BEGIN SELECT @PList += N', [' + [ColumnName] +']' FROM [ETL].[TableDef] WHERE [IsActive] = 1 AND [Category] = @vCat RETURN; END;
I want out put to be as below, I am getting this output from the select query independently by declaring @Plist variable and passing @vcat value, now I want it to be returned from a function when called from a select query output ,Colum1,column2,....
I have tables and a function as representated by the code below. The names for objects here are just for representation and not the actual names of objects. Table RDTEST may have one or multiple values for RD for each PID. So the function GIVERD will return one or multiple values of RD for each value of PID passed to it.
When I run the following query, I get the required result except the rows for CID 500 for which PID is NULL in table T1. I want the rows for CID 500 as well with PID values as NULL.
SELECT A.CID, A.ANI, A.PID, B.RD FROM T1 AS A CROSS APPLY GIVERD(A.PID) B
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 :

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.

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 image_23.jpg (23 being the @@identity) resize it and save it to specified directory
I cant seem to get the identity to return to my script. This is my SP
AS Insert Into Tbl_ad (ad_title, ad_description,ad_area,ad_ui_id,ad_active,ad_date,ad_ct_id,ad_sc_id,ad_location) VALUES (@adtitle,@addescription,@areaid, @uid, 0,convert(varchar, GETUTCDATE(), 101), @catid, @subcatid, 1)
select @@identity return GO
I tested in query analyser, and it works fine, so It must be my code. this is my function
Sub Insert_pic(sender as object, e as eventargs)

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

case 1:
system ( "cls" ); gpa_sem_1 = sem_1( );
break; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // why doesn't the error promp when the user enters an invalid entry? in the codes below.
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 (...) AS DistanceIn this function, i have a Latitude and i want this Latitude to be also returned.It is possible or a function can return only one variable?If it is possible, what's the syntax of it?Thanks in advance
Cannot 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.

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?
Hi I need a function which gets 3 parameters and input and returns 4 integers as output. I don't know how to return 4 integers as output any idea is appreciated.
Is it possible to write dynamic sql on scalar function and assign the value to return value? I like some thing like below but it is not working... Thanks ______________________________________________________________________ set @sql = 'select @CallLegKey= min(calllegkey) as CallLegKey from rt_'+@platform+'_CallLegs where datediff(day,convert(datetime, CallEndTime) ,'''+cast(@today as varchar(20))+''') = '+cast(@cutoff as varchar(5)) exec @sql
I have created a function to return values, which works fine, but I can't do calculations in it.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[tf_Asset_Portfolio](@deal_id int, @as_of_date datetime) RETURNS TABLE AS RETURN ( SELECT DISTINCT dbo.Assets.issue_id, SUM(DISTINCT dbo.Assets.par_amount) AS par_amount, SUM(DISTINCT dbo.Assets.par_amount) AS market_value FROM dbo.Issue INNER JOIN dbo.Assets ON dbo.Issue.issue_id = dbo.Assets.issue_id INNER JOIN dbo.Issuer_Rating_History ON dbo.Issue.issuer_id = dbo.Issuer_Rating_History.issuer_id WHERE (dbo.Issuer_Rating_History.as_of_date <= @as_of_date) GROUP BY ALL dbo.Assets.issue_id, dbo.Assets.deal_id, dbo.Issue.default_date HAVING (dbo.Assets.deal_id = @deal_id) )
I need to do calculations on market value based on the default date. If default date isn't specified then it should be 100% of par amount. If default date is less than one year ago - 65% of the par_amount. If default date is one or more years ago - 0. I have no idea about how to do this and everything I try wont work. I created another function to do the calculations and this seems to work, but it only does one record instead of all of them.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.tf_Asset_Portfolio2 (@deal_id int, @as_of_date datetime) RETURNS @Market TABLE (issue_id int, par_amount money, market_value money) AS BEGIN DECLARE @ReturnDate datetime DECLARE @DD datetime DECLARE @PA money DECLARE @MV money DECLARE @ID int DECLARE @DateD int
SELECT TOP 1 @ReturnDate = LAST_BATCH FROM master..sysprocesses WHERE SPId = @@SPID
SELECT @ID = issue_id FROM Assets WHERE Assets.deal_id = @deal_id SELECT @PA = SUM(DISTINCT par_amount) FROM Assets WHERE Assets.issue_id = @ID AND Assets.deal_id = @deal_id SELECT @DD = default_date FROM Issue WHERE Issue.issue_id = @ID
SET @DateD = DateDiff("yyyy", @DD, @ReturnDate)
If @DD = Null BEGIN SET @MV = @PA END Else If @DD > @ReturnDate BEGIN SET @MV = @PA END Else If @DateD < 1 BEGIN SET @MV = @PA * .65 END Else If @DateD >= 1 BEGIN SET @MV = 0 END
insert into @Market (issue_id, par_amount, market_value) values (@ID,@PA,@MV)
RETURN END
I need to combine the functionality of being able to return mutliple records that isn't in the 2nd function and being able to calculate the market value which isn't in the first one. Please help. Thank you in advance.
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'
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.
Can someone please show me an example of what the function syntax needs to look like in order for this to work? I know that with sp's, you need to explicitly state the column names.
I am trying to find a way to return the result of an EXEC(*sqlstring*) from a function. I can return the tsql but not the result of an execute.
This is my function:
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[ReturnPickItemValue] ( -- Add the parameters for the function here @TypeID int, @CaseID int ) RETURNS varchar(max) AS BEGIN -- Declare the return variable here DECLARE @RTN varchar(max)
IF(SELECT IncludeDates FROM TBL_LU_PICK WHERE PickTypeID = @TypeID) = 1 BEGIN SET @RTN = 'SELECT PickItem I + CASE D.IsStartDateEstimated WHEN 0 THEN CAST(StartDate as varchar) ELSE CAST(dbo.ReturnEstimatedDate(D.IsStartDateEstimated, 0) as varchar) END + CASE D.IsEndDateEstimated WHEN 0 THEN CAST(EndDate as varchar) ELSE CAST(dbo.ReturnEstimatedDate(D.IsEndDateEstimated, 1) as varchar) END
FROM TBL_LU_PICK L INNER JOIN TBL_Pick_Items I ON I.PickTypeID = L.PickTypeID INNER JOIN TBL_PICK P ON P.PickItemID = I.PickItemID LEFT JOIN TBL_PickDates D ON D.PickID = P.PickID WHERE L.PickTypeID = ' + CAST(@TypeID as varchar) + ' AND P.CaseID = ' + CAST(@CaseID as varchar) END ELSE BEGIN SET @RTN= 'SELECT I.PickItem FROM TBL_LU_PICK L INNER JOIN TBL_Pick_Items I ON I.PickTypeID = L.PickTypeID 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.

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.
