Hello,
how I can use a function of my own within a select statement. I tried
create function funny() returns int
as begin
return( 2 )
end go
and then "select funny()" but 'funny' is not a recognized function name.
How can I solve this?
thanks and regards
Mark
I was playing around with the new SQL 2005 CLR functionality andremembered this discussion that I had with Erland Sommarskog concerningperformance of scalar UDFs some time ago (See "Calling sp_oa* infunction" in this newsgroup). In that discussion, Erland made thefollowing comment about UDFs in SQL 2005:[color=blue][color=green]>>The good news is that in SQL 2005, Microsoft has addressed several of[/color][/color]these issues, and the cost of a UDF is not as severe there. In fact fora complex expression, a UDF in written a CLR language may be fasterthanthe corresponding expression using built-in T-SQL functions.<<I thought the I would put this to the test using some of the same SQLas before, but adding a simple scalar CLR UDF into the mix. The testinvolved querying a simple table with about 300,000 rows. Thescenarios are as follows:(A) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column(B) Use a simple CASE function to calculate a column and as a criterionin the WHERE clause(C) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column(D) Use a scalar UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion in theWHERE clause(E) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column(F) Use a scalar CLR UDF to calculate a column and as a criterion inthe WHERE clauseA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(295310 row(s) affected)A: 1563(150003 row(s) affected)B: 906(295310 row(s) affected)C: 2703(150003 row(s) affected)D: 2533(295310 row(s) affected)E: 2060(150003 row(s) affected)F: 2190The scalar CLR UDF function was significantly faster than the classicscalar UDF, even for this very simple function. Perhaps a more complexfunction would have shown even a greater difference. Based on this, Imust conclude that Erland was right. Of course, it's still faster tostick with basic built-in functions like CASE.In another test, I decided to run some queries to compare built-inaggregates vs. a couple of simple CLR aggregates as follows:(G) Calculate averages by group using the built-in AVG aggregate(H) Calculate averages by group using a CLR aggregate that similatesthe built-in AVG aggregate(I) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group (average excluding highestand lowest values) using built-in aggregates(J) Calculate a "trimmed" average by group using a CLR aggregatespecially designed for this purposeA sample of the results is as follows (time in milliseconds):(59 row(s) affected)G: 313(59 row(s) affected)H: 890(59 row(s) affected)I: 216(59 row(s) affected)J: 846It seems that the CLR aggregates came with a significant performancepenalty over the built-in aggregates. Perhaps they would pay off if Iwere attempting a very complex type of aggregation. However, at thispoint I'm going to shy away from using these unless I can't find a wayto do the calculation with standard SQL.In a way, I'm happy that basic SQL still seems to be the fastest way toget things done. With the addition of the new CLR functionality, Isuspect that MS may be giving us developers enough rope to comfortablyhang ourselves if we're not careful.Bill E.Hollywood, FL------------------------------------------------------------------------- table TestAssignment, about 300,000 rowsCREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestAssignment]([TestAssignmentID] [int] NOT NULL,[ProductID] [int] NULL,[PercentPassed] [int] NULL,CONSTRAINT [PK_TestAssignment] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED([TestAssignmentID] ASC)--Scalar UDF in SQLCREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fnIsEven](@intValue int)RETURNS bitASBEGINDeclare @bitReturnValue bitIf @intValue % 2 = 0Set @bitReturnValue=1ElseSet @bitReturnValue=0RETURN @bitReturnValueEND--Scalar CLR UDF/*using System;using System.Data;using System.Data.SqlClient;using System.Data.SqlTypes;using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;public partial class UserDefinedFunctions{[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction(IsDetermini stic=true,IsPrecise=true)]public static SqlBoolean IsEven(SqlInt32 value){if(value % 2 == 0){return true;}else{return false;}}};*/--Test #1--Scenario A - Query with calculated column--SELECT TestAssignmentID,CASE WHEN TestAssignmentID % 2=0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ASCalcColumnFROM TestAssignment--Scenario B - Query with calculated column as criterion--SELECT TestAssignmentID,CASE WHEN TestAssignmentID % 2=0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END ASCalcColumnFROM TestAssignmentWHERE CASE WHEN TestAssignmentID % 2=0 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END=1--Scenario C - Query using scalar UDF--SELECT TestAssignmentID,dbo.fnIsEven(TestAssignmentID) AS CalcColumnFROM TestAssignment--Scenario D - Query using scalar UDF as crierion--SELECT TestAssignmentID,dbo.fnIsEven(TestAssignmentID) AS CalcColumnFROM TestAssignmentWHERE dbo.fnIsEven(TestAssignmentID)=1--Scenario E - Query using CLR scalar UDF--SELECT TestAssignmentID,dbo.fnIsEven_CLR(TestAssignmentID) AS CalcColumnFROM TestAssignment--Scenario F - Query using CLR scalar UDF as crierion--SELECT TestAssignmentID,dbo.fnIsEven_CLR(TestAssignmentID) AS CalcColumnFROM TestAssignmentWHERE dbo.fnIsEven(TestAssignmentID)=1--CLR Aggregate functions/*using System;using System.Data;using System.Data.SqlClient;using System.Data.SqlTypes;using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;[Serializable][Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlUserDefinedAggregate (Format.Native)]public struct Avg{public void Init(){this.numValues = 0;this.totalValue = 0;}public void Accumulate(SqlDouble Value){if (!Value.IsNull){this.numValues++;this.totalValue += Value;}}public void Merge(Avg Group){if (Group.numValues > 0){this.numValues += Group.numValues;this.totalValue += Group.totalValue;}}public SqlDouble Terminate(){if (numValues == 0){return SqlDouble.Null;}else{return (this.totalValue / this.numValues);}}// private accumulatorsprivate int numValues;private SqlDouble totalValue;}[Serializable][Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlUserDefinedAggregate (Format.Native)]public struct TrimmedAvg{public void Init(){this.numValues = 0;this.totalValue = 0;this.minValue = SqlDouble.MaxValue;this.maxValue = SqlDouble.MinValue;}public void Accumulate(SqlDouble Value){if (!Value.IsNull){this.numValues++;this.totalValue += Value;if (Value < this.minValue)this.minValue = Value;if (Value > this.maxValue)this.maxValue = Value;}}public void Merge(TrimmedAvg Group){if (Group.numValues > 0){this.numValues += Group.numValues;this.totalValue += Group.totalValue;if (Group.minValue < this.minValue)this.minValue = Group.minValue;if (Group.maxValue > this.maxValue)this.maxValue = Group.maxValue;}}public SqlDouble Terminate(){if (this.numValues < 3)return SqlDouble.Null;else{this.numValues -= 2;this.totalValue -= this.minValue;this.totalValue -= this.maxValue;return (this.totalValue / this.numValues);}}// private accumulatorsprivate int numValues;private SqlDouble totalValue;private SqlDouble minValue;private SqlDouble maxValue;}*/--Test #2--Scenario G - Average Query using built-in aggregate--SELECT ProductID, Avg(Cast(PercentPassed AS float))FROM TestAssignmentGROUP BY ProductIDORDER BY ProductID--Scenario H - Average Query using CLR aggregate--SELECT ProductID, dbo.Avg_CLR(Cast(PercentPassed AS float)) AS AverageFROM TestAssignmentGROUP BY ProductIDORDER BY ProductID--Scenario I - Trimmed Average Query using built in aggregates/setoperations--SELECT A.ProductID,CaseWhen B.CountValues<3 Then NullElse Cast(A.Total-B.MaxValue-B.MinValue ASfloat)/Cast(B.CountValues-2 As float)End AS AverageFROM(SELECT ProductID, Sum(PercentPassed) AS TotalFROM TestAssignmentGROUP BY ProductID) ALEFT JOIN(SELECT ProductID,Max(PercentPassed) AS MaxValue,Min(PercentPassed) AS MinValue,Count(*) AS CountValuesFROM TestAssignmentWHERE PercentPassed Is Not NullGROUP BY ProductID) BON A.ProductID=B.ProductIDORDER BY A.ProductID--Scenario J - Trimmed Average Query using CLR aggregate--SELECT ProductID, dbo.TrimmedAvg_CLR(Cast(PercentPassed AS real)) ASAverageFROM TestAssignmentGROUP BY ProductIDORDER BY ProductID

My goal is up update a table called UserStats.
I have numerous functions in SQL that return Scalars (one for each statistics I want to use)
How do I then use a stored proceedure to return a table of the values for use on my site?
WIthin SQL Server 2005, there are functions. This feature is new to me and I haven't found anyone that has written their own fucntions? I'm wondering if functions are written the same as stored procedures, and can a function be called from a stored procedure or even from within a query.
hello Im having a difficult time translating this query from Access to SQL because it uses the First/Last functions.
I have a 'Projects' Table and a 'Project_Comments' table, each has a 'Project_ID' field which links the 2 together. What I need to do is retrieve a Project List from the Projects Table and also the first Comment of each project based on the Commend_date field in the Project_Comments table. This is the MS ACCESS query:
SELECT Projects.Project_Number, Projects.Project_Name, First(Project Comments.Comment_Date), First(Project_Comments.Notes)
FROM Projects Left Join Projec_Comments ON
Projects.Project_Number = Project_Comments.Project_Number
GROUP BY Projects.Project_Number, Projects.Project_Name
Now I can use Min() for the Date instead of First, however I dont know what to do with the Notes field. Any help on how to get this over to sql would be greatly appreciated!
Hi,
I have created a function that returns a comma seperated list of product id's from a table. I need to call this function from a stored procedure to help filter my product results, something like the following:
SET @SQL = 'SELECT dbo.Products.ProductID FROM dbo.Products WHERE dbo.Products.ProductID IN (' + dbo.GetModels('dbo.Products.ProductID', '') + '))'
The problem I am having when executing the above is:
"Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'dbo.Products.ProductID' to data type int."
Can anyone shed some light on how I can call the function, feeding through the product ID from the row of the select statement I am trying to execute (if this makes sense).
Any help would be great.

Hi,,I'm having a problem with calling a function from an activex scriptwithin a data transformation. the function takes 6 inputs and returnsa single output. My problem is that after trying all of the stuff onBOL I still can't get it to work. It's on the same database and I'mrunning sql 2000.when I try to call it I get an error message saying "object requiredfunctionname" If I put dbo in front of it I get "object required dbo".Can anyone shed any light on how i call this function and assign theoutput value returned to a variable name.thanks.
View 7 Replies View RelatedHello,
I've created a function that performs modulo. I understand that SQL server 2000 / 2005 uses % for modulo, but we have an application that was written for Oracle. Oracle has a mod(dividend, divisor) function.
As to not rewite the queries, I would like to implement the function below:
the function executes properly but I must prefix it with the dbo schema.
Net: I can execute --- select dbo.mod(9,2) and it returns a 1 just like it should.
but I can not execute --- select mod(9,2) I receive the error "'mod' is not a recognized function name." on SQL 2000 and 2005.
If I can execute select mod(9,2) then I won't need to re-write any queries.
Also, on SQL 2005, I have tried to adjust the default shema, and the execute as clause, but neither helped my cause.
I'm going to try building the function in the CLR, but I think I will be faced with the same problem.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Tom
create function mod
(
@dividend int,
@divisor int
)
RETURNS int
as
begin
declare @mod int
select @mod = @dividend % @divisor
return @mod
end
Hi,
I have to calculate data in function with "EXEC". During runtime I get the Error:
"Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function."
I would use a Stored Procedure, but the function is to be called from a view. I don't understand, why that should not be possible. Is there any way to shut that message down or to work around?
btw: Storing all the data in a table, would mean a lot of work, I rather not like to do. ;-)
Thx for any help

I just installed SSRS 2005 and I have experience with SQL.
How come this function does not work?
SELECT SUBSTRING(YEAR_MONTH, 1, 2) AS Expr1
FROM table1
I get a message which states that this command is not supported by the provider?
It works fine with other SQL tools like winsql?

I have a table that is used for employee evaluations. There are six questions that are scored either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. I want to tally the responses on a page, but I wonder if I can do it without 35 separate calls to the database (I also want to get the average response for each question). I know I can do "SELECT COUNT(intWorkQuality) AS Qual1 FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req WHERE intWorkQuality = '1' " and then "SELECT COUNT(intWorkQuality) AS Qual2 FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req WHERE intWorkQuality = '2' " and so on. But can I somehow do the aggregating at the page level, and just refer back to a datasource that uses a generic statement like "SELECT intWorkQuality, intDepend, intAnalyze, intWrite, intOral, intCompatibility FROM dbo.Summer_Project_Req"? If I can, I am not sure what type of control would be best to use or what syntax to use to write the code-behind. I would like the results to be displayed in a grid format. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm trying to use the date() function in an openquery statement in query analyzer and I keep getting an illegal symbol ")" error. The statement is :
select *
from openquery([Big Blue], 'select cde_date, cde_item from acch1 where cde_date < date()')
The objective is to find records where cde_date is prior to today. The syntax works fine if I execute it on the mainframe in QMF and the ODBC connection works fine if I hard code the value. What I need is the ability to use the function so I can run the query on subsequent days without having to edit it.

Hello all,
Recently I changed over a ASP script from our old Access 97 database to our new SQL database. When I changed it over, some of my SQL pulls on my Active Server Page started to give me erros. One of them is the function
date(). When I used it pulling from Access like this :
strSQLQ = "SELECT * FROM cocoitem WHERE CustNum = '" & strcustnum & "' AND stat = 'C' AND [due-date] > DateAdd('yyyy', -1, Date()) Order By [cust-po], [due-date] ASC ;"
Then it worked fine. When I redirected the ASP to the new SQL server I recieved an error like this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14'
'Date' is not a recognized function name.
/scripts/order/shippingstatsclose.asp, line 45
So my question is, what is the SQL server equivalent of the function Date()?
I have a challenge and am not very versed with coding this situation. The situation is breaking up an address into separate portions: number, number suffix, direction, street name, thoroughfare, street suffix, etc. I am having troubles getting started, could anyone point me somewhere in the right direction with a little guidance or has anyone done this and have the code stored? This is not my strong point and have been trying to improve, sorry. D--

How can I pick out a "top child" in SQL Server 2000?
Example:
---------------------------------
| Employee || code || action date |
---------------------------------
| 00000001 || AAA || 01/02/2005 |
| 00000001 || DDD || 01/02/2001 |
| 00000001 || CCC || 01/06/2000 |
| 00000002 || AAA || 01/02/2006 |
| 00000002 || CCC || 01/10/2004 |
| 00000003 || DDD || 05/12/2001 |
| 00000004 || AAA || 09/09/2006 |
| 00000004 || SSS || 09/06/2000 |
---------------------------------
I want to pick out the record with the latest date for every employee so I end up with something like this:
---------------------------------
| Employee || code || action date |
---------------------------------
| 00000001 || AAA || 01/02/2005 |
| 00000002 || AAA || 01/02/2006 |
| 00000003 || DDD || 05/12/2001 |
| 00000004 || AAA || 09/09/2006 |
---------------------------------
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

I have a main table that stores the names of all the tables in that database & the next pkey that the record in the respective table should have when a new record is inserted in it(This is the requirement). I am writing a function which returns the primary key of the tablename entered.
The function that i have written is as follows:
CREATE Function next_pkey(@in_tablename varchar(250),@in_increment int)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @nextid int
DECLARE @out_nextid int
SET @out_nextid = -1
UPDATE main_ids SET nextid = nextid + @in_increment WHERE tablename = @in_tablename
IF (@@ROWCOUNT = 0)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO main_ids (tablename, nextid) VALUES (@in_tablename, 1 + @in_increment)
SET @nextid = 1
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @nextid = nextid - @in_increment FROM main_ids WHERE tablename = @in_tablename
END
IF (@@ERROR = 0)
SET @out_nextid = @nextid
Return @out_nextid
END
GO
This function gives 2 erros as mentioned below:
Invalid use of 'UPDATE' within a function.
Invalid use of 'INSERT' within a function.
I have the following query:
Is an update statement allowed in a function?
Can you tell me what should i do so that this function executes properly???
Plz Help?????
Thanks.
