sqlclr

My current view is no, prefer Transact SQL stored procedures because they are a lighter weight and (possibly) higher performing option, while CLR procedures allow developers to get up to all sorts of mischief. However recently I have needed to debug some very poorly written TSQL stored procs. As usual I found many of the problems due to the original developer developer having no real TSQL experience, they were ASP.NET / C# focused. So, using CLR procedures would firstly provide a much more familiar toolset to this type of developer, and secondly, the debugging and testing facilities are more

After installing the release version of VS2012, I am unable to find SQL CLR proect template. How can I go about creating a project of this type. Thanks! All of the various database objects are now created inside of SQL Server database projects. They've removed the distinction between database projects (SQL Scripts) and SQL CLR projects. So it's just File -> New -> Project , Installed -> Templates -> SQL Server , SQL Server Database Project . Then, if you go to Add -> New Item , you'll find various categories on the left, including (confusingly) SQL CLR and SQL CLR C# . The first is for

Question: In SQL Server 2005, how can I list all SQL CLR-functions/procedures that use assembly xy (e.g. MyFirstUdp) ? For example a function that lists HelloWorld for query parameter MyFirstUdp CREATE PROCEDURE HelloWorld AS EXTERNAL NAME MyFirstUdp.[SQL_CLRdll.MySQLclass].HelloWorld GO after I ran CREATE ASSEMBLY MyFirstUdp FROM 'C:\Users\username\Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\SQL_CLRdll\SQL_CLRdll\bin\Debug\SQL_CLRdll.dll I can list all assemblies and all functions/procedures, but I seem to be unable to associate the assembly to the functions/procedures... Check out the sys.assembly

Assume the assembly dll: using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server; using System.Data.SqlClient; using System.Data.SqlTypes; using System; using System.Text; namespace CLRFunctions { public class T { [SqlFunction(DataAccess = DataAccessKind.Read)] public static String NormalizeString(String s, String normalizationForm) { NormalizationForm form = NormalizationForm.FormC; if (String.Equals(f, "FormD", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)) form = NormalizationForm.FormD; return = s.Normalize(form); } } } Note : Target the assembly to .NET 3.5 as SQL Server doesn't support .NET 4.0 Copy the assembly to a

I have trouble understanding of how CLR User-Defined Aggregates work. I have to create some custom CLR aggregates with multiple parameters. The point is to get the value of the first parameter depending on the second. For example, I have the following values in my table, and I need the oldest employee Name for each Type : Type | Name | Age -------------------------------- Manager | emp 1 | 35 Manager | emp 2 | 42 Developer | emp 3 | 36 Developer | emp 4 | 45 Developer | emp 5 | 22 So I would like to write a query like this to get the result by using my assembly: Select Type, dbo

Update: this problem is not fixable: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback/Details/809697 I'm attempting to create a SQL CLR assembly with .net 4.5 and it's telling me it's missing system.servicemodel (even though it's in the .net assembly folders): Assembly 'MySQLCLRProject' references assembly 'system.servicemodel, version=4.0.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=b77a5c561934e089.', which is not present in the current database. SQL Server attempted to locate and automatically load the referenced assembly from the same location where referring assembly came from, but that operation

Hy, I have post a question about CLR User-Defined Aggregates few month ago oon this post . This works like a charm. But now I would like to quite the same functions with the two parameters in sql_variant type. Like in my previous post, the two function would be sMax and sMin and will return the first value depending on the second. I found that the sql_variant type is a object type in C#. But I having difficulties to accumulate and compare the object. What is the best option to compare this two object without knowing the type? When using SQL_VARIANT / object , you can determine the type by

I would like to create SQL Server CLR stored procedure for inserting some rows in a table in SQL Server 2012. Here is my c# code: using System; using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; using System.Data.SqlTypes; using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server; using System.Collections.Generic; public partial class StoredProcedures { [Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure] public static void InsertingRows () { // Put your code here Random rnd = new Random(); List<int> listtelnumber = new List<int>(new int[] { 1525407, 5423986, 1245398, 32657891, 123658974, 7896534, 12354698 }); List<string>
