Kenneth Fisher

My name is Kenneth Fisher and I am Senior DBA for a large (multi-national) insurance company. I have been working with databases for over 20 years starting with Clarion and Foxpro. I’ve been working with SQL Server for 12 years but have only really started “studying” the subject for the last 3. I don’t have any real "specialities" but I enjoy trouble shooting and teaching. Thus far I’ve earned by MCITP Database Administrator 2008, MCTS Database Administrator 2005, and MCTS Database Developer 2008. I’m currently studying for my MCITP Database Developer 2008 and should start in on the 2012 exams next year. My blog is at https://sqlstudies.com/.

Question of the Day

Function Defaults

I have created this function in SQL Server 2022: 

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.AddInt (@one INT, @two INT = 1) RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
    RETURN @one + @two
END
How can I call this and invoke the default value for @two?
