| cd writes "I have the following syntax in a function: UPDATE dbo.autokey SET seed = seed + 1 WHERE tbname = UPPER(@tablename)where autokey.seed is defined as an integer, and is being used as a next record sequence.When I try to compile this function, I get the error: Invalid use of 'UPDATE' within a function.But I can include the same UPDATE code in a procedure.What am I doing wrong?" |
