I am just trying to create a function that returns a select statement, but it gives the error:
A RETURN statement with a return value cannot be used in this context.
This is my code:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Sample] (@SampleValue int)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
BEGIN
RETURN(
SELECT * FROM View_sls
)
Please let me know the solution
Two things:
Then you can call RETURN;
to return that table's data to the caller.
So you need something like this:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Sample] (@SampleValue int)
RETURNS @returnTable TABLE
(ContactID int PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
FirstName nvarchar(50) NULL,
LastName nvarchar(50) NULL,
JobTitle nvarchar(50) NULL,
ContactType nvarchar(50) NULL)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @returnTable
SELECT ContactID, FirstName, LastName, JobTitle, ContactType
FROM dbo.View_sls
RETURN;
END
