I have a question about user define function in sql. How can I use Exec in UDF? What I mean is that I made a string in a UDF, And I need to execute the string in function. but I think it's illegal. so tell me how can I use it?
P.S : forget about useing stored procedure instead of function.
I get the word TempleMode marked in Yellow. it's to clear all recoreds from my Pivot tables linked to SQL Database.
Sub ClearAllSheets() On Error Resume Next 'Dim pt As PivotTable Dim Sh As Worksheet Dim refresh As Boolean Dim tempMode As Boolean Dim startTime As Date
Is 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)"
This is driving me crazy! The SQL Statement refenced is shown at the end of this email.
When I try and run the statement, an error is raised saying that Undrawn_GT5MIL_LE365Days is invalid (likewise for Undrawn_LE5MIL_LE365Days). From what I can gather, it is saying that I cannot include a User Defined variable in another argument. This is unlike Access. Any suggestions?
SQL View.......

How to define a Input variable in a Execute Sql Task?? I've defined a User::Inicio variable which contains 4 as value.
In Parameter Mappins it has been defined. Then, I've gone to General->Sql Statement and allocated the following SQL Statement: UPDATE CARGAPROCESOS SET FECHAULTIMACARGA = [Inicio] or UPDATE CARGAPROCESOS SET FECHAULTIMACARGA = [User::Inicio]
Anyway, I'm stuck, both did not work Thanks in advance for your comments
I have this function in access I need to be able to use in ms sql. Having problems trying to get it to work. The function gets rid of the leading zeros if the field being past dosn't have any non number characters.For example:TrimZero("000000001023") > "1023"TrimZero("E1025") > "E1025"TrimZero("000000021021") > "21021"TrimZero("R5545") > "R5545"Here is the function that works in access:Public Function TrimZero(strField As Variant) As String Dim strReturn As String If IsNull(strField) = True Then strReturn = "" Else strReturn = strField Do While Left(strReturn, 1) = "0" strReturn = Mid(strReturn, 2) Loop End If TrimZero = strReturnEnd Function
I have a question on using this function to limit the information to an individual. I've used this before on a report so that when an individual logs in he sees only his information. Now for this report I want a supervisor to only see his subordinates. Am I right in my train of thought here? I should be able to establish a relationship between the supervisor_id and the employee to limit the report to only his group?
thanks in advance -- if someone has done something similar to this and can share some specifics that would be great
I have a UDF that takes my input and returns the next valid business day date. My valid date excludes weekends and holidays. It works perfect except for one issue. It doesn't check to see if today's date is a holiday. I pass a query to sql server like so " select dbo.getstartdate('01/ 10/2007',2)" It then moves ahead two business days and returns that date. Here is the current code. Hopefully someone can tell me how to do the holiday check on the current date. I really don't want to rewrite the whole script .

Hi everyone, I am tring to pass acomma delimited string to a function and this function is parsing the string so that I can see individual values so for example I am passing 1,2,3,4,5 as a parameter to my function and I am parsing this string so that I can write something like this Select * from tableA where userID in(1,2,3,4) It is working fine. Only problem is if the user passes word 'all' instead of 1,2,3,4 then I have to doSelect * from tableA My function looks like this. How can I modify this function if I pass 'all' as a paramater. Any help will be appreciated.CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ParseText2File] (@p_text varchar(4000), @p_Delimeter char(1)) RETURNS @results TABLE (id varchar(100)) AS BEGIN declare @i1 varchar(200) declare @i2 varchar(200) declare @tempResults Table (id varchar(100)) while len(@p_text) > 0 and charindex (@p_Delimeter, @p_text) <> 0 begin select @i1 = left(@p_text, charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) - 1) insert @tempResults select @i1 select @p_text = right(@p_text, len(@p_text) - charindex(@p_Delimeter,@p_text)) end insert @tempResults select @p_text insert @results select * from @tempResults return END Thanks
I am a new user for SQL server. Coming from an oracle background, I find it very difficult to live without user defined functions. At the moment, I urgently need to have a function returning an custom-made ID string, so that it can be used in one of my stored procedures. I have heard the rumours that SQL server 7 does NOT support user defined functions, (which SQL 6.5 does). I would be really grateful if anyone can clarify this for me, and if possible, suggest a get-around approach.
I am trying to compare the data from one table (shipments) with the data from a view. The point of the function is to match the correct territory with the account depending on the data. Basically, I this deals with accounts that are transfering from one territory to another. The transfers take effect on the first day of the month, retroactive, therefore we need to allocate the sales data to the correct territory in the shipments table. Here is my function. Can someone tell me how I can get this to work and insert a territory ID for the account that has transfered into the shipments table?
CREATE FUNCTION fnShipments () RETURNS @Shipments TABLE (AccountID CHAR(10), DateInvoice DateTime, DollarShipments Money, TerritoryID CHAR(10)) AS BEGIN INSERT @Shipments (AccountID, DateInvoice, DollarShipments, TerritoryID) SELECT Shipments.AccountID, Shipments.DateInvoice, DollarShipments, ISNULL((SELECT TerritoryID FROM vwAccountTransfers
WHERE Shipments.AccountID = vwAccountTransfers.AccountID
AND vwAccountTransfers.EffectiveMonth =
(SELECT MIN(EffectiveMonth) FROM vwAccountTransfers
WHERE Shipments.AccountID = vwAccountTransfers.AccountID AND DatePart(m,Shipments.DateInvoice) < vwAccountTransfers.EffectiveMonth)), (SELECT TerritoryID FROM vwAccountTransfers WHERE Shipments.AccountID = vwAccountTransfers.AccountID AND vwAccountTransfers.EffectiveMonth Is Null ) ) AS Territory FROM Shipments
ORDER BY Shipments.AccountID, Shipments.DateInvoice; RETURN END
User: Will be sending me a datetime e.g '9 Nov 2004 15:00:00' I want the UDF to do the following for me Return in hours the difference between what the user has send and now (lets say now = '10 Nov 2004 11:00:00') So the UDF will return to me 20. But I dont want 20, I want the UDF to avoid any all hours which are not work related (any time after 16h00 until 8h00 in the morning), so I want this UDF to return 4. That means from '9 Nov 2004 15:00:00' I have calculated 1hr until 16h00 and 3hrs from 8 until 11h00 on '10 Nov 2004 11:00:00'
AGAIN IT MUST NOT CALCULATE WEEKENDS. Lets say '12 Nov 2004 15:00:00' was Friday and now = '15 Nov 2004 11:00:00', I must still get 4 as a return from UDF
I would also like now to be my getdate(), but it seems like you can't use it in UDF
If I log in to Query Analyzer using Windows Auth and run "PRINT USER", it returns "dbo". Is there any way to have the USER function actually return <Domain><login> for myself?
Hi, Iam working on one user defined function which will take week & year as argument and returns sunday date of that particular week in that year. for example if i give (15,2007) as argument it shud give 2007-04-08 as result. Plz anybody help this on this issue.

I am accustomed to doing most of my function work in Access, but the boss would really like it if I could shedule some cubes to do the stuff that takes forever when you run it live.
To that end, I have an Access function that I call to get a field value for a query. I would like to be able to create an User Defined Function on the SQL server and call that function as a field value in a view. I have searched the forums and have not really found anything that wants to make sense to me as to how to do this.
The access function is as follows:
Public Function BuyerDeltas(IFSDate As Date, PODate As Date) As Long
If IFSDate < (Date + 14) Then BuyerDeltas = IFSDate - 3 - PODate ElseIf IFSDate < (Date + 29) Then BuyerDeltas = IFSDate - 7 - PODate ElseIf IFSDate > (Date + 28) Then BuyerDeltas = IFSDate - 10 - PODate Else MsgBox "This should not be possible!", vbOKOnly, "Fix It!!!!!!!" End If
End Function
The view that this is called from contains the IFSDate and PODate fields and I am able to call the function from the access query, but this is completely different than what I have seen in the help files on SQL.
I would love to be able to keep plugging away at doing this myself, but the boss also is pushing me to get it done and he doesn't want me taking forever to do it.
hai, the problem is - I have created a userdefined function using SQL 2000 create function getfulldate (@date varchar(10))returns datetimeasbegindeclare @getfulldate datetime set @getfulldate = dateadd (mi,55,@date) return @getfulldateend and normally we call this in the SQL statements as select *, dbo.getfulldate('2006-05-03') from emp This works fine and what I need was, I need to invoke the user-defined function like select *, getfulldate('2006-05-03') from emp that is, without using "dbo". If I call in that manner, it gives error as - 'getfulldate' is not a recognized function name. So, here what is the purpose of dbo and can I call in my desired manner as mentioned above. anyone guide me, thanks!
Hi,How to exec a SQL user defined function in query analyzer when it accepts parameters.. I know for a stored procedure we can write EXEC nameofstored procedure abc (@abc is the parameter passed).. But How to run a SQL function ?Thanks
I have a sproc that passes an ID to a user defined function. I just realized that the udf can only return scalar type value. I need it to return a varchar(10). How can i do this with similiar functionality. Any ideas?
I have a requirement where i need to get the current time/date within a Function. As getDate function is a non deterministic function it can not be used with in a function. Your guidence in this regard is greately appreciated.
It is possible to use getdate() in userdefined function. If so, how to do the same ?
The following code throws error :
create function function1 return varchar DECLARE @currYYMM VARCHAR(20) SET @currYYMM = convert(char(4),getdate(),12) // Here it says the error 'getdate' can't be used inside functions ............... .....................
Hi, While i execute the followgin code. it gives error. Please resolve it as while calling the function i want to use getdate() or any other dynamic variable or any select such as

It gives error.

Hi, I posted a question sometime back about any one has written a function which converts a given date to a a new timezone.
As it turns out I have actually written the function and it is functionally sound.
the issue I am not facing is the performace.
The Algorithm is pretty simple. step 1 I have create a table called TZ1 which has the TImezoneCODE (PST,EST..), daylightsavingsstart (DATETIME on which the daylight savings start), daylightsavingsend ( end of DLS) and offset (EG -8 for PST, -5 for EST etc)
step 2 I check the timezone and pick out corresponding start and enddate for daylight savings.
Step 3 Depending on where the date lies I create a new date by adding offset to the original datetime (+1) for the new date and then return this new datetime.
As simple as this looks the response time is 16 times than that of a select statement without the function.
Do you see something that I can tune to get a better response time.

Is it possible to call a user-defined function without prefixing itwith 'dbo.' within a SELECT clause somehow? Just curious; it's not abig issue but just a stylistic one for me.Thanks!Joel Thornton ~ <groups@joelpt.eml.cc>
