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.
