No need for a UDF :

SELECT (col1 * 1.0/col2 * 100) AS percentage FROM table1

That's a good point but what does the identity have to do with rowcount?

Well yes there is, but probably not for what you need.

Can you take the time to post some sample data and the exact required output from that data.  We'll get...

Does this solve your problem?

Select product_id, product_name, units_in office  + units_at owner  + units_on sale AS Total from dbo.Products

Or this would actually be an approved use of the identity propriety by our friend Joe Celko... but I wouldn't add the identity without the date.  I can't explain why, but that's...

Or is it possible that you have a silent failure in the child procedures?

I think Mohammed is right.  However have you tried simply deleting the UDTs?

If that doesn't work maybe you would be able to just unbind them which would be much faster...

I'm assuming here that you have a numbers table set up (with the numbers from 1 to...

A different sql server database can be accessed like this :

use master

Select * from msdb.dbo.sysObjects.

Would this solve the current problem of database access?
