You want to open the database file? Why?

All functions created by users are called user-defined functions. Inline, scalar, mutli-valued. Doesn't matter.

Inline-User-Defined functions can be used to achive the functionality of prametarized views. For example, Consider the following view.

CREATE VIEW CustomersInCanada AS
SELECT CustomerName,Address,Phone FROM Customers WHERE Country = 'Canada'

You can create a more generalized version, CustomerInCountry, by replacing the WHERE Country = 'Canada' with a WHERE Region = @CountryParameter and letting users specify the country they are interested in viewing. Views, however, do not support parameters in the search conditions specified in the WHERE clause but Inline user-defined functions do so.

That's just a broad example, ur on ur own.

Hi Naresh,

I found the following command DBCC LOG at http://www.sql-server-performance.com/ ac_sql_server_2000_undocumente
d_dbcc.asp
=============================

DBCC LOG

This command is used to view the transaction log for the specified database.

Syntax:

DBCC log ({dbid|dbname}, [, type={-1|0|1|2|3|4}])

where:

dbid or dbname - Enter either the dbid or the name of the database

type - is the type of output, and includes these options:

0 - minimum information (operation, context, transaction id)

1 - more information (plus flags, tags, row length, description)

2 - very detailed information (plus object name, index name, page id, slot id)

3 - full information about each operation

4 - full information about each operation plus hexadecimal dump of the current transaction log's row.

-1 - full information about each operation plus hexadecimal dump of the current transaction log's row, plus Checkpoint Begin, DB Version, Max XDESID

by default, type = 0

To view the transaction log for the master database, run the following command:

DBCC log (master)
