SQL Server m-by-n identity matrix function


EYE

Updated: 31 January 2012


Use the scalar function EYE to generate an m-by-n identity matrix.
Syntax
SELECT [wctMath].[wct].[EYE](
  <@m, int,>
 ,<@n, int,>)
GO
Arguments
@m
The number of rows in the identity matrix.
@n
The number of columns in the identity matrix.
Return Types
[nvarchar](max)
Remarks
·         @m must be greater than or equal to 1.
·         @n must be greater than or equal to 1.
Examples
The following statement will produce the 5-by-5 identity matrix.
SELECT wct.EYE(5,5) as I
This produces the following result.
I
-------------------------------------------------
1,0,0,0,0;0,1,0,0,0;0,0,1,0,0;0,0,0,1,0;0,0,0,0,1
 
We can use the table-valued function MATRIX to produce the output in third-normal form.
SELECT *
FROM wct.MATRIX((wct.EYE(5,5)))
This produces the following result.
