Thanks for the feedback.Fri, 23 Nov 2007 16:19:48 GMTJeff Modenhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic425121-149-1.aspxHi JeffThanks for you reply.There is no other workaround for fullfill my function requirment. As my requirement is that table return sql statement base on some criteria and then bt executing sql statement will return some Ids. I can't use Store procedure for fullfill above requirement as i want use this function for Replication(for filter row)Thu, 22 Nov 2007 22:50:07 GMTpatel mayur mhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic425121-149-1.aspxsp_ExecuteSQL is not an "extended stored procedure" or it would begin with "xp_". Neither is any form of dynamic SQL. I'm afraid that you're out of luck.In fact, if you check out Books Online, which says the following about UDF's, you'll see that you've violated several rules for UDF's ;)[quote]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: Assignment statements.Control-of-Flow statements.DECLARE statements defining data variables and cursors that are local to the function.SELECT statements containing select lists with expressions that assign values to variables that are local to the function.Cursor operations referencing local cursors that are declared, opened, closed, and deallocated in the function. Only FETCH statements that assign values to local variables using the INTO clause are allowed; FETCH statements that return data to the client are not allowed.INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements modifying table variables local to the function.EXECUTE statements calling an extended stored procedures.
