Question

I am having a problem with my sql function. The following function operates as expect but when I substitute, it only returns one row:

CAST(t.ColumnName as nvarchar(100)) 

for:

REPLACE(CAST(t.ColumnName as nvarchar(100)), 'ID', 'Id')

What is wrong? Here is my calling code:

PRINT dbo.CreatePocoFromTable('dbo.OnePoundFish')

Here is the function itself:

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[CreatePocoFromTable]
    (@SchemaAndName nvarchar(200))
RETURNS Nvarchar(MAX) AS
BEGIN
/* Example call:

PRINT dbo.CreatePocoFromTable('dbo.OnePoundFish')

*/

DECLARE @TableName NVARCHAR(100) = SUBSTRING(@SchemaAndName , CHARINDEX('.', @SchemaAndName ) + 1, LEN(@SchemaAndName ))   
DECLARE @TableSchema NVARCHAR(100) = SUBSTRING(@SchemaAndName , 1, CHARINDEX('.', @SchemaAndName ) - 1)  
DECLARE @result Nvarchar(max) = ''

SET @result = @result + 'using System;' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(13) 

IF (@TableSchema IS NOT NULL) 
BEGIN
    SET @result = @result + 'namespace ' + @TableSchema  + CHAR(13) + '{' + CHAR(13) 
END

SET @result = @result + 'public class ' + @TableName + CHAR(13) + '{' + CHAR(13) 

SET @result = @result + '#region Instance Properties' + CHAR(13)  

SELECT @result = @result + CHAR(13) 
    -- BL/DAL/DataRepository Entity attributes
    + '[DataField("' + t.ColumnName + '")]' + CHAR(13)
    + ' public ' + t.ColumnType + ' ' + CAST(t.ColumnName as nvarchar(100)) + ' { get; set; } ' + CHAR(13)

only the interesting part …

SELECT @result = @result + CHAR(13) 
    -- BL/DAL/DataRepository Entity attributes
    + '[DataField("' + CAST(REPLACE(t.ColumnName , 'ID', 'Id') as nvarchar(100))   + '")]' + CHAR(13)
--    + '[DataField("' + t.ColumnName  + '")]' + CHAR(13)

    + ' public ' + t.ColumnType + ' ' + CAST(t.ColumnName as nvarchar(100)) + ' { get; set; } ' + CHAR(13)
