BuiltInFunctionLookupBase.GetMultiTypeBuiltInFunction Method

Returns an IBuiltInFunction object that represents a built-in function that has a multi-type return value (for example, 'CAST', 'CONVERT' and IDENTITY' functions). The returned instance has its generic return type replaced by the specified ISystemDataType.

Namespace:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlParser.MetadataProvider
Assembly:  Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlParser (in Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlParser.dll)

override GetMultiTypeBuiltInFunction :

public function GetMultiTypeBuiltInFunction(
    name : String, 
    dataType : ISystemDataType
) : IBuiltInFunction

Parameters

• name
  Type: System.String
  The function name to retrieve.

• dataType
  Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlParser.Metadata.ISystemDataType
  The data type to replace the generic return type with.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlParser.Metadata.IBuiltInFunction
An IBuiltInFunction object that represents a built-in function that has a multi type return value (for example, 'CAST', 'CONVERT' and IDENTITY' functions). The returned instance has its generic return type replaced by the specified ISystemDataType

Implements

IBuiltInFunctionLookup.GetMultiTypeBuiltInFunction(String, ISystemDataType)

Remarks

When you inherit from IBuiltInFunction, if you are providing your own built-in object list, you must override this method. Otherwise, the base class implementation of the method returns a null reference.
