pass results table from a function as argument to another

  • hi!

    is it possible?

    I made a function that return ids in rows like:

    -----

    14

    0

    -1

    -2

    then. I want to make another function that grab this result table and join with another table to bring me the id's descriptions like:

    ------------------

    14 | Administrator

    0 | Host

    -1 | Users

    -2 | All Users

    so. is there any way for I do this:

    @result = split()

    getnames( @result )

    []s

  • Please post additional Table definition information and the logic for your function.

    I am guessing here, but if your function is a table valued function.

    Example

    CREATE FUNCTION myfunction    ( @Myvar int)

    RETURNS TABLE

    ....

    Then you can just join the results as if it were a table/derivedtable/or view.

    Select description

    From MydescriptionTable a

    Join dbo.myfunction b on a.ID = b.id

     

  • split function that generate the first table result:

    create FUNCTION Split( @input VARCHAR(1000), @delimiter CHAR(1) = '|' )

    RETURNS @output TABLE( valor VARCHAR(1000) )

    AS

    BEGIN

    DECLARE @join VARCHAR(1000)

    DECLARE @result VARCHAR(1000)

    DECLARE @valor VARCHAR(1000)

    WHILE( 1 = 1 )

    BEGIN

    --ver se o delimitador existe na string

    IF charindex( @delimiter, @input ) = 0

    BEGIN

    --se não existir o delimitador, insere somente a string na tabela de saída

    IF( @input '' )

    BEGIN

    INSERT INTO @output ( valor ) VALUES ( @input )

    END

    BREAK

    END

    ELSE

    BEGIN

    SET @valor = substring( @input, 1, charindex( @delimiter, @input ) -1 )

    IF( @valor '' )

    BEGIN

    INSERT INTO @output ( valor ) VALUES( @valor )

    SET @input = SUBSTRING( @input, CHARINDEX( @delimiter, @input )+ 1, LEN( @input ) )

    END

    END

    END

    RETURN

    END

    -- SELECT TOP 10 valor FROM Split( '14;0;-1;-2;', ';' )

    function that I want to change. it expects 1 single id to return it description. Now I want to make a similar function that receives a table of ids, and returns a table of results

    ALTER FUNCTION Roleid2Rolename( @id VARCHAR(1000) )

    RETURNS @output TABLE( description VARCHAR(1000) )

    AS

    BEGIN

    DECLARE @result VARCHAR(1000)

    SELECT @result =

    ( SELECT DISTINCT( r.rolename ) FROM userroles ur, roles r

    WHERE r.roleid = ur.roleid

    AND ur.roleid = CAST( @id AS VARCHAR ) )

    IF( @id = '0' )

    SET @result = 'Administrators'

    IF( @id = '-1' )

    SET @result = 'All Users'

    IF( @id = '-2' )

    SET @result = 'Host'

    INSERT INTO @output ( description ) VALUES ( @result )

    RETURN

    END

    /*

    select description from Roleid2Rolename( '0' ) UNION

    select description from Roleid2Rolename( '12' ) UNION

    select description from Roleid2Rolename( '-2' ) UNION

    select description from Roleid2Rolename( '-1' )

    */

    description

    All Users

    Split2Table used to do both, split values, and do the select joins and return the descriptions as above:

    ALTER FUNCTION Split2Table( @input VARCHAR(1000), @delimiter CHAR(1) = '|' )

    RETURNS @output TABLE( id VARCHAR(1000), description VARCHAR(1000) )

    AS

    BEGIN

    DECLARE @description VARCHAR(1000)

    DECLARE @join VARCHAR(1000)

    DECLARE @result VARCHAR(1000)

    DECLARE @valor VARCHAR(1000)

    WHILE( 1 = 1 )

    BEGIN

    --ver se o delimitador existe na string

    IF charindex( @delimiter, @input ) = 0

    BEGIN

    --se não existir o delimitador, insere somente a string na tabela de saída

    IF( @input '' )

    BEGIN

    SELECT @description = ( SELECT description FROM Roleid2Rolename( @input ) )

    INSERT INTO @output ( id ) VALUES ( @result )

    END

    BREAK

    END

    ELSE

    BEGIN

    DECLARE @id VARCHAR(1000)

    SET @id = substring( @input, 1, charindex( @delimiter, @input ) -1 )

    IF( @id '' )

    BEGIN

    SELECT @description = ( SELECT description FROM Roleid2Rolename( @id ) )

    INSERT INTO @output ( id, description ) VALUES( @id, @description )

    SET @input = SUBSTRING( @input, CHARINDEX( @delimiter, @input )+ 1, LEN( @input ) )

    END

    END

    END

    RETURN

    END

    -- SELECT top 10 id, description FROM Split2Table( '14;0;-1;-2;', ';' )

    id description

    Now I made Split() to just split the values, and I need to make a function to receive the @results table from Split() and then, do the select joins. And the result of It,I pass to the function above:

    ALTER FUNCTION IDList2DescList( @IDList VARCHAR(1000), @Delimiter CHAR(1) )

    RETURNS VARCHAR(1000)

    AS BEGIN

    DECLARE @result VARCHAR(1000)

    SELECT @result = ISNULL( @result + ' - ', '' ) + description FROM Split2Table(@IDList, @Delimiter )

    RETURN @result

    END

    --SELECT dbo.IDList2DescList( '14;0;-1;-2;', ';' )
