You have not specified that which type of function you want to create means scalar valued function or table valued function.

I suppose that you want to create table valued function. For that your code is wrong in the starting line.
Look at the below code. Hope it will guide you.

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[waste]()
RETURNS @student1 TABLE
(
student_rec int,
St_name nchar(10)
)
AS
Begin
declare @a int
declare @b nchar(10)
declare cur cursor for select Id,name from student
open cur
fetch next from cur into @a,@b
while @@FETCH_STATUS =0
BEGIN
INSERT @student1 values(@a,@b)
--SELECT @a as a1 , @b as a2
fetch next from cur into @a , @b
END
close cur
deallocate cur
RETURN
end

I think if we were to tell you ALL the information about that then we'd exceed the forum guidelines for length of post. Have you tried google?

For SQL-Server:

select E1.Primary_Key, E2.Primary_Key,
   IsNull(E1.EmployeeName, E2.EmployeeName) AS EmployeeName,
   IsNull(E1.LastName, E2.LastName) AS LastName
from Employee E1
full outer join Employees E2
on E1.EmployeeName = E2.EmployeeName
and E1.LastName = E2.LastName
where (E1.Primary_Key is null or E2.Primary_Key is null)

I found this code on the internet BUT i haven't run it yet.

EXEC sys.sp_configure N'show advanced options', N'1'  RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE<br />
go<br />
<br />
EXEC sys.sp_configure N'Ad Hoc Distributed Queries', N'1'<br />
go <br />
<br />
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE<br />
go<br />
<br />
EXEC sys.sp_configure N'show advanced options', N'0'  RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE<br />
go

Do you think this could solve my problem? Confused | :confused:

Probably.... Its better practice to add the other server as linked server if you are going to use the connection often enough. It will simplify your query writing (no openrowset crap needed).

I have seen that to use OPENROWSET command the first parameter should be MSDASQL
the SQLOLEDB is used for OPENDATASOURCE. i have tried this query and working perfectly. Also i hope that you have already enabled the OPENROWSET and OPENDATASOURCE command from the SQL server surface area configuration wizard.

SELECT *
FROM OPENROWSET('MSDASQL',
'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=yourremoteserver_name;UID=your_remote_user_id;PWD=your_remote_password',
your_remote_database_name.dbo.remote_table_name)

You can use @@ROWCOUNT in your stored procedure and take the value returned by @@ROWCOUNT as output parameter of stored procedure.
