Hi, all
I want to make select statement dynamically and return table using function.
in sp, I've done this but, in function I don't know how to do so.
(I have to create as function since our existing API..)

Following is my tials...
1.
alter Function fnTest
( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime)
RETURNS Table
AS

RETURN Exec spTest @from, @to
GO

Yes, it give syntax error..

2. So, I found the following


From Sql Server Books Online, Remark section of CREATE FUNCTION page of Transact-SQL Reference , it says following..

"The following statements are allowed in the body of a multi-statement function. Statements not in this list are not allowed in the body of a function: "
.....
* EXECUTE statements calling an extended stored procedures.

So, I tried.

alter Function fnTest
( @fromTime datetime, @toTime datetime)
RETURNS Table
AS

RETURN Exec master..xp_msver
GO

It doesn't work... syntax err...

Here I have quick question.. How to execute statements calling an extended stored procedures. any examples?


Now, I'm stuck.. how can I create dynamic select statement using function?

I want to know if it's possible or not..
thank you...
