I am creating or altering a query which selects various fields from a table.

I also have a custom SQL CLR function being executed, which returns a table.

From the original query, I want to reference or filter through the results returned back from this function (custom SQL CLR) and get the value for that query.

Example:

SELECT * FROM dbo.CustomFunction AS FuncT


SELECT TableA.field1, TableA.field2, TableA.field3, CustomResult = (SELECT resultValue FROM FuncT WHERE date = TableA.field1)


makes sense? how can I do this?

[code]
SELECT TableA.field1, TableA.field2, TableA.field3, CustomResult = resultValue
FROM TableA
CROSS APPLY dbo.CustomFunction()
WHERE date = TableA.field1
[/code]

great thanks.

I now have another problem. SQL tries to convert int into nvarchar for some reason.
I am storing the data as nvarchar in a column. the data could be numeric/float/whatever but I only ever want to store it as nvarchar.

the SQL CLR wrapper I made is returning data as a SqlString
I am then, calling that UDF (that is what the SQL CLR Wrapper is) and inserting data into a tmp table (Again, data types are nvarchar) and finally selecting the value for a row in that tmp table. but then I get the error:

Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '11.3' to data type int.

?
