Creating Functions in SQL server

HI
i creating functions for specific purpose in the test database...
is it against SAP Support policy?
suggest me...

if you are just going to start entries then you can .
But i have posted then Use replace function in SQL
SQL Syntax:
REPLACE( string1, string2, string3 )
Parameters:
string1
Any character string or binary expression that can contain the string from string2.
string2
Any character string or binary expression. This string is searching in string1.
string3
Any character string or binary expression. This string replace all occurrence of string2.
May it will work
Thanks

How to create a dynamic multi-line function in SQL Server

I am attempting to create a Multi-Line Function in SQL Server that accepts a dynamic WHERE clause as a parameter. I need this so that the function can be as versatile as possible for the filter that needs to be applied. I am unfortunately getting an error
upon creation of the function. I don't know how to solve the problem. Can someone advise me?

>> Unfortunately I really need to form a dynamic query in a table valued function on the SQL SERVER. I have another tabled valued function that needs something returned as a table in order to further join the data. I am not allowed to use Stored
Procedures in that function. <<
You do know that real SQL programmers hate the proprietary nightmare of tabled valued functions? This is how you procedural programmers avoid learning set-oriented declarative and functional programming.
Your mindset wants to write to a scratch tape or disk file (aka “tabled valued function result table”) just like you did BASIC, FORTRAN or COBOL. QL programmers do not have to materialize their data. We can use VIEW or a drive table as well as a base table.
>> Plus, there are occasions where I don't want to pass in a field [sic: columns are not fields] parameter or need to change a parameter list such that I don't wish the table function to filter by a particular field [sic] or other setting. <<
What you want is a magical “Automobiles, Squids and Lady Gaga” function. An SQL programmer might write a complex VIEW then do simpler SELECTs off it.
>> My application pushes the WHERE clause from EXCEL to SQL to do the hard work as EXCEL is not the application in which I want to process the SQL statement and pass it via ODBC. I cannot run macros in Excel on the web.<<
This is a crazy language system. Usually we fetch data in SQL and then pass it to a math package, report writer, etc. We never keep logic (aka WHERE clauses) outside the database.
>> I am bummed about the fact that this feature doesn't work. It will up my server management costs to maintain unique tabular based functions based on WHERE clause query <<
So stop writing those “tabular based functions”, change your mindset and start learning SQL and do it right.

Want to convert function in SQL Server 2000

Hi ,
i am writing this function in oracle.Could you please convert this function in SQL Server 2000 because i am new in this and dont know how to use decode function in sql.
Please following is the code for oracle.

return VARCHAR2
is
e_badZip EXCEPTION; u279E8

Calling Function in SQL Server through DBLINK

Hello
I need to call a function that exists in other database (*SQL Server*) through DBLINK
Is It possible? If yes, please give me the syntax
Thanks

Hi,
You can call remote functions on SQL*Server if you create the database link using the Database Gateway for SQL*Server (DG4MSQL).
You need to install and configure DG4MSQL then you can call remote functions as follows -
SELECT function1@Remote_DB(7782) FROM dual;
You need to set the parameter -
HS_CALL_NAME
in the DG4MSQL init<sid>.ora file with the owner and name of the function, for example -
HS_CALL_NAME = "owner1.function1, owner2.function2 "
and if you want to return values using the function you need to set the parameter in the gateway init file -
HS_FDS_PROC_IS_FUNC=TRUE
For full details you need to refer to the documentation -
Oracle® Database Gateway for SQL Server User’s Guide, 11g Release 2 (11.2)
Oracle® Database Heterogeneous Connectivity User’s Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2)
which is available from -
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
and click on the 'Integration Information' option on the left.
The documentation has further details on how to call and use remote functions.
For information about installing and configuring the gateway and links to further information have a look at the following note -
Note.1083703.1 Master Note for Oracle Gateway Products
available in My Oracle Support
You cannot use the Database Gateway for ODBC (DG4ODBC) to create the database link as it does not supported stored procedures or remote functions.

CONVERT function in SQL Server to oracle

All,
How to convert CONVERT function in SQL Server to oracle, below mentioned format is in SQL Server:
variable1 = convert(numeric(20), SUBSTRING( parameter1,parameter2,parameter3)
parameter1 datatype nvarchar2(100)
parameter2 datatype bigint
parameter3 datatype bigint
I did bit R&D, but was not successful..but still getting on..
If any help that would be great...
Regards,
~ORA

You cannot specify the precision/scale or length of input paramters to a stored procedure in Oracle, or at least the pl/sql engine does not respect the sizing. Assuming that you want to do something with variable1 in the procedure, and not just return it, the Oracle equivalent would be something along the lines of:
SQL> CREATE FUNCTION f (p_param1 IN VARCHAR2,
2                     p_param2 IN NUMBER,
3                     p_param3 IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
4     l_var1 NUMBER(20) := SUBSTR(p_param1, p_param2, p_param3);
5 BEGIN
6     RETURN l_var1 * 10;
7 END;
8 /
Function created.
SQL> SELECT f('ABC10DEF', 4, 2) FROM dual;
F('ABC10DEF',4,2)
              100You may need to adjust the return type to match what you are actually returning.
You can also use this iin a direct assignment in pl/sql without doig a select, something like:
SQL> DECLARE
2     l_num NUMBER(20);
3 BEGIN
4     l_num := f('ABC10DEF', 4, 2);
5     DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line('The number is: '||l_num);
6 END;
7 /
The number is: 100John

Using LV 8.6 to access database created in MS SQL Server Management Studio

I am using Labview 8.6 to access a database created in MS SQL Server Mgmt Studio, using LabSQL ADO utilities. I don't have LV's add-on DB connectivity toolkit, but just the ADO utilities. Can i do it? If yes, how? I have no experience whatsoever in connecting and accessing data from a DB. An example would help.
Thanks,

Szi wrote:
As for my opinion you cant access without DB connectivity toolkit.
Nonsense.
With LabSQL, you should first find an on-line SQL tutorial and refer to the Microsoft help files. I would recomend creating a UDL file. This is the connection string you use for the ADO Connection Open function. You might want to to get a little help from the db administrator. You'll certainly need help in getting a login and password.
There are examples that come with LabSQL

How to create a .mdf SQL Server database from a Data-Tier Application file that has data?

This is a noob question, though I do use SQL Server databases all the time with Entity Framework when I code in C# using Visual Studio 2013. The development environment is found below at [A]. I am trying to make a clone of a SQL Server 2008 R2
database (.mdf) that exists online. I can read, connect and work with this database in Visual Studio 2013, but I wish to make a local copy of the database, as an .MDF file. Somewhere in my notes I have a way of creating a local copy from
an online database when using Visual Studio but I forgot how (it seems, reviewing my notes, that it deals with ADO.NET which is deprecated in Visual Studio 2013 these days, or so it seems). So I'm looking for another way. What I did was create
(or export) a "Data-Tier Application File" from the online SQL Server database, with data, and it seems to have worked in that this Data-Tier Application file exists on my hard drive and seems to have data in it ("SQL Server Replication Snapshot"
is the format it seems). It contains skeleton code to create a database, but when I tried to execute it with SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, I got a bunch of errors.
So my question is:
1) Can I somehow create a .MDF SQL Server Database from an Data-Tier Application file that has data? What tool do I use? I saw this link, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2639.how-to-use-data-tier-application-import-and-export-with-a-windows-azure-sql-database.aspx
and it relates to Azure, but is there a tool for C#Visual Studio 2013, standalone?
2) If there's an easy way to create a .mdf SQL Server Database file from an online file, within SQL Server Management Studio? I don't think so, since it would require Administrator permissions on the online server, which I don't have. I have permission
to read, update, delete the online database file, but strangely not to download it (the service I use has a tool for backup, but not for download).
3) same question as 2), but for Visual Studio 2013? I don't think so, since I notice none of the templates even mentions ADO.NET anymore, but instead they go with Entity Framework. Using EF I can of course do anything I want with the online database
(CRUD), but it remains online. Maybe there's a switch to make a local copy? I guess I could write a short program to suck all the data out of the online database and put it into a new, duplicate database having the same tables, that I create on
my localhost, but my question here is if there's an easier way than this, maybe a tool or command I can run from inside Visual Studio?
Any advice on any of the above questions is appreciated.
Thank you,

Thanks but these links are too general to help.
"2. what do you mean by online file?" - I mean the SQL Server database file is on a remote web server that I rent from, but I am not the administrator of. I can access my database using SQL Server Authentication, but nothing more.

What do you mean by too general? It explains on how you can use data tier application to create and deploy databases

How to get a list of values used in the WHERE filter of stored procedures and functions in SQL Server

How can I get a list of values (one or more) used in the WHERE filter of stored procedures and functions in SQL Server?
How can get a list of values as shown (highlighted) in the sample stored procedure below?

Lenfinkel

Hi LenFinkel,
May I know what is purpose of this requirement, as olaf said,you may parse the T-SQL code (or the execution plan), which is not that easy.
I have noticed that the condition values in your Stored Procedure(SP) are hard coded and among them there is a date values, I believe some day you may have to alter the SP when the date expires. So why not declare 3 parameters of the SP instead hard coding?
For multiple values paramter you can use a
table-valued parameter. Then there's no problem getting the values.
If you could elaborate your purpose, we may help to find better workaround.

How to Use Sequence Object Inside User-defined Function In SQL Server

I'm trying to call sequence object inside SQL Server user-defined function. I used
Next Value for dbo.mySequence to call the next value for my sequence created. But I'm getting an error like below.
"NEXT VALUE FOR function is not allowed in check constraints, default objects, computed columns, views, user-defined functions, user-defined aggregates, user-defined table types, sub-queries, common table expressions, or derived tables."
Is there any standard way to call sequence inside a function?
I would really appreciate your response.
Thanks!

The NEXT
VALUE FOR function cannot be used for User Defined function. It's one of the limitation.

Convert substring function from SQL Server to Oracle

I am converting a large application written for SQL Server to Oracle and have encountered a difference in how the substring function is called between the two database systems.
In SQL Server:
select substring('xyz'1,2)
In Oracle:
select substr('xyz',1,2)
Is there a way to establish a user-defined operator to map the substring call to a substr call so I don't have to change the application code?
Is the user-defined function a way to do this?
Which is better?

If you want to be able to use the code that has substring in it, without modifying it, and have it do the same thing as substr, then try running the script below. It will create a user-defined function named substring that will cause substring to act like substr.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION substring
(p_string IN VARCHAR2,
p_start IN VARCHAR2,
p_end IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
v_string VARCHAR2 (100);
BEGIN
IF p_end IS NULL
THEN
SELECT SUBSTR (p_string, p_start)
INTO v_string
FROM DUAL;
ELSE
SELECT SUBSTR (p_string, p_start, p_end)
INTO v_string
FROM DUAL;
END IF;
RETURN v_string;
END substring;

Thanks - SelvaKumarSubramaniam.Please MARK AS ANSWER, if my answer is useful to U.

see
http://www.sqlteam.com/article/custom-auto-generated-sequences-with-sql-server
You can make it computed column based on UDF
make UDF as below
CREATE FUNCTION GenerateStudID
@StdStudy varchar(15)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @StudID int
SELECT @StudID = @StdStudy * 10000 + COALESCE((SELECT MAX(StudentID) FROM StudentDetails WHERE StandardStudy =@StdStudy),0) + 1
RETURN (@StudID)
END
then create column as
ALTER TABLE StudentDetails ADD StudentID AS dbo.GenerateStudID(StandardStudy)

Folders are creating automatically in Sql Server Report Manger

Dear All,
I am using Sql Server Reporting Services. And i have created Diffrent Folders in Report Manager,
And deployed various reports. Now the problem is one folder created automatically in Report Manager as 'User Folders'
and in that folder, sub folders are created automatically whenenver users are extracting the reports.
Iam getting the below error whenever iam going to delete that folders,
The permissions granted to user 'sbkhetan' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Pl help me on this issue. How can i delete that folders,
Thanks

That folder is part of the My Reports functionality. As long as you've got that activated you cannot delete the folder...
"While the feature is activated, Users Folders and its subfolders cannot be deleted. Furthermore, the name "My Reports" becomes
a reserved name for folders created under the root node (Home)."

Permission denied when creating database in Sql Server 2008 for SQLExpress

I'm getting an permission error while restoring the database. I'm using SQL Server 2008 SQLEXPRESS
I'm able to create the user using this script " CREATE LOGIN [darth\vader] FROM WINDOWS;
GO;"
But when I try to give role to the user it's still give me permission error.. SP_ADDSRVROLEMEMBER ‘darth\vader’, ‘sysadmin’
Can someone guide me how to resolve this issue?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186858.aspx
Permissions
If the database being restored does not exist, the user must have CREATE DATABASE permissions to be able to execute RESTORE. If the database exists, RESTORE permissions default to members of the sysadmin and dbcreator fixed
server roles and the owner (dbo) of the database (for the FROM DATABASE_SNAPSHOT option, the database always exists).
RESTORE permissions are given to roles in which membership information is always readily available to the server. Because fixed database role membership can be checked only when the database is accessible and undamaged, which is not always the case when RESTORE
is executed, members of the db_ownerfixed database role do not have RESTORE permissions.

How to use evaluate function for sql server function

Hi Team,
We have imported a column(date dtat type) from SQL server cube . By default it imported as varchar,. We have three option in physical layer for this column(Varchar,Intiger,unknown)
So we want to convert this column into date.can we use evaluate or there is any option to do that.?

Hi,
I am not sure your requirement. But how pass evaluate function obiee?
syntax:- EVAULATE('your db function(%1,%2)', parameter list)
here %1 and %2 are the no.of parameters (columns or may constant values) to be passed for the db-function
if you have 3 parameters then you need to use %3 also.. means the columns to be passed.
following exapmples are for ORACLE db,
ex1: EVALUATE('upper(%1)', 'satya ranki reddy') gives the result as -> SATYA RANKI REDDY
ex2: EVALUATE('upper(%1)', 'Markets.Region') here Markets.Region is column.
you also can call the user-defined functions through evaulate
EVALUATE('functioname(%1,%2), column1, column2)
the above function has 2 parameters to be inputted
Hope this help's
Thanks

How to avoid this error?

Hi,
CategoryID have problem. Check data in source system and check data type for CategoryID in BW sys.
It could be care as CategoryID having some alphabets and while creating info objects in sys you make data type as Number.
