Is there a way to create a global variable in SQL Server, in such a way that it persists even if the server is restarted, so I can use it in functions?
Example from what I need:
DECLARE @@DefaultValue bit
This variable should never be deleted unless I explicityl do so.
I guess this will work the best for me:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_GetDefaultPercent]()
RETURNS decimal(5,4)
AS
BEGIN
RETURN 1.0000
END
You can have a look at something like this
"Global variables" in SQL Server
Not a global variable.
There's chance you can define a global UDF like you can create a "system" stored proc (starts "sp" in master), but I've not tried it.
Note:
Even DECLARE @@DefaultValue bit
is actually local:
@
means local variable, identifier is @DefaultValue
It's not really global: try SELECT @@DefaultValue
from 2 another query window
I know is answered but just for fun :)
How about a table with 2 columns like:
GLB_VARIABLES:
GLB_VAR_NAME varchar(100) PRIMARY KEY,
GLB_VAR_VALUE varchar(100)
