ZERO
Updated: 31 January 2012
Use the scalar function ZERO to generate an m-by-n matrix of zeroes.
SELECT [wctMath].[wct].[ZERO](
<@m, int,>
,<@n, int,>)
Arguments
@m
The number of rows in the zeroes matrix.
@n
The number of columns in the zeroes 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 ones matrix.
SELECT wct.ZERO(5,5) as ZEROES
This produces the following result.
ZEROES
-------------------------------------------------
0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0;0,0,0,0,0
We can use the table-valued function MATRIX to produce the output in third-normal form.
SELECT *
FROM wct.MATRIX((wct.ZERO(5,5)))
This produces the following result.
