Description

Multi-statement table-valued is similar to Inline-statement table-valued (). However Multi-statement table-valued may have more than one statement in its function body, the table columns are specified in the return type and it has a BEGIN/END block (

Transact-SQL Syntax

CREATE [ OR ALTER ] FUNCTION [ schema_name. ] function_name
( [ { @parameter_name [ AS ] [ type_schema_name. ] parameter_data_type
    [ = default ] [READONLY] }
    [ ,...n ]
  ]
)
RETURNS @return_variable TABLE <table_type_definition>
    [ WITH <function_option> [ ,...n ] ]
    [ AS ]
    BEGIN
        function_body
        RETURN
    END
[ ; ]

Snowflake SQL

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION <name> ( [ <arguments> ] )
  RETURNS TABLE ( <output_col_name> <output_col_type> [, <output_col_name> <output_col_type> ... ] )
  AS '<sql_expression>'

Sample Source Patterns

The following section describes all the possible source code patterns that can appear in this kind of CREATE FUNCTION syntax.

The function body of Multi-Statement Table-Valued function must be a SELECT statement. For this reason the others statements must be called separately.

Insert values in a table

Inserts one or more rows into the table and returns the table with the new values

Insert value according to if/else statement

Inserts a row into the table according to the condition and returns the table with the new value

Inserts multiple according to if/else statement

The example below inserts more than one value into the table and more than one variable is modified according to the condition. Returns the table with the new values

In case there are nested if statements and more than one variables are modified in the statements it is necessary to use a stored procedure.

Update values previously inserted

Updates columns values of the table into the function body and returns it with the new values.

Multiple return clauses

In the following sample there is more than one return clause, this is because depending on the situation it is not necessary to keep executing the whole function.

This transformation is applied when there is only one value to insert, if there is more than one value it is necessary to use a stored procedure.

The example is a complex case that uses nested if statements and inserts a value depending on the true condition.

Known Issues

While statements along side queries

The problem with this example is that there's no way of transforming the while statement to a CTE inside the WITH clause of the main select, this forces us to transform this statement to store procedure to maintain the same logic.

Different statements are not supported in Common Tables Expressions

The clauses UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, ALTER or DROP are not supported on the body of common tables expressions, even after their declaration using a delimitator. For this reason, the function can be modified to work as a stored procedure.
