Abstract

There are two types of functions available in SQL Server 2000: built-in and user-defined. Built-in functions are a part of T-SQL, and they are similar in nature to functions you have used in other programming languages. For example, Visual Basic uses the NOW function to return the current system time while T-SQL uses the GETDATE() function to return the same information. User-defined functions,which are new to SQL 2000, are functions you create using the CREATE FUNCTION statement. User-defined functions are covered in detail in Chapter 7.KeywordsCharacter StringQuery AnalyzerString FunctionDistinct ArgumentSelect CountThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
