| Built-in functions that can return different data on each call are not allowed in user-defined functions. This includes RAND, getdate, @@CONNECTIONS. Look for help in BOL (Index: user-defined functions)The SQL statements inside your scalar-valued functions cannot include any nondeterministic system functions. Try passing RAND() has a parameter.select dbo.myPassword(RAND(8)) |
