Type Property (UserDefinedFunction)

SQL Server 2005

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The Type property returns the user-defined function type.

Syntax


object
.Type

Parts

object: An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

Data Type

Long

Modifiable

Read-only

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetType(SQLDMO_UDF_TYPE *pRetVal);

Returns

A SQLDMO_UDF_TYPE constant that contains one of these values.

Constant	Value	Description
SQLDMOUDF_Inline	3	Inline function
SQLDMOUDF_Scalar	1	Scalar function
SQLDMOUDF_Table	2	Table function
SQLDMOUDF_Unknown	0	Unknown function type

Remarks

A scalar function is applied to all the rows in a table, thereby producing a single value (for example, an aggregate function). An inline function performs a single SELECT statement. A table function performs a series of Transact-SQL statements and returns the results as a table.

Note:
If an application calls Type on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later" are returned.

Applies To:

UserDefinedFunction Object
