Inner Joins and UDFs


I'm trying to join a dimension table to a summary table using an inner
join. However, I would like to join using a udf that I've created.

Example:
select ...
from fact_table fact
inner join schema1.dim_tab le dim
on schema.udf(fact .var1) = dim.var2

I get the error:
SQL0338N An ON clause associated with a JOIN operator or in a MERGE
statement
is not valid. SQLSTATE=42972

Can this be done and I just don't have the right syntax?

I could use a WITH temp table to solve this, but is there a way to do
it altogether?

TIA,
Chris

For inner join the only limitation I'm aware of is teh one listed:

SQL0338N An ON clause associated with a JOIN operator or in a
MERGE statement is not valid.
<snip>
o A SQL function or SQL method cannot be used.

You can use a a regular FROM WHERE to get teh same result as an INNER
JOIN ....

Access 2000 Trying even the most basic queries - select queries joining (inner join) two tables - and the results are not updatable, and I can't tell why they aren't. All permissions are on, recordset is dynaset, unique values is no, etc.. etc.. Here's the SQL if it helps..: SELECT tbl.ID FROM tbl INNER JOIN Master ON tbl.IDNumber = Master.IDNumber;

Happy New Year everyone! I'm new to both T-SQL and this forum. I'm currently doing an internship and my first task was to create a small program which will send an email detailing the sales of the previous day versus monthly targets and sales. Most of the parts were figured out and eveything was done in Visual Studio. The gist of the code was written in one large chunk of SQL code, as below: SELECT derivedtbl_1.family AS 'Family',...

Hi, I have a stored procedure that uses JOINs to return columns from multiple tables. I also have another stored proc that that takes a series of params and updates multiple tables. I used the framework to auto-generate a table adapter specifying both stored procs as Get/Fill and Update. The problem is that columns from the JOINed table seem to marked as 'read-only' so trying to update a row results in an exception. BTW, by default a...
