Question

I tried to write such kind of code as

CREATE PROCEDURE DBO.GENCODE
AS
BEGIN

SELECT NEWID() AS GUID

END
GO

The thing is this procedure doesn’t return a var value so I cannot use it for insert value. So my question is … How to make possible code like

DECLARE @code VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @code = DBO.GENCODE()

    INSERT INTO TABLEA(CODE)
    VALUES(@code)

And this working snippet as a version…

DECLARE @code VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @code=(SELECT NEWID() AS GUID)
INSERT INTO TABLEA(CODE)
VALUES(@code)

?

Any useful comments are appreciated

Answer 1

As for now I am satisfied with this code because it works fine and gens a random code

DECLARE @code VARCHAR(MAX)
SET @code=(SELECT NEWID() AS GUID)
INSERT INTO TABLEA(CODE)
VALUES(@code)

But still I hope to get it working as a function. Maybe a little bit later then 🙂
