SQL Eval - Dynamic Expression Example
-- Easy to use

-- CREATE test
DECLARE @table TABLE ( X INT, Y INT, Z INT )
INSERT  INTO @table VALUES  ( 2, 4, 6 ),  ( 3, 5, 7 ), ( 4, 6, 8 )

-- Result: 14, 22, 32
DECLARE @sqlnet SQLNET = SQLNET::New('x*y+z')
SELECT  @sqlnet.ValueInt('x', X)
               .ValueInt('y', Y)
               .ValueInt('z', Z)
               .EvalInt() as Result
FROM    @table

SQL Eval - Split Text Example
-- CREATE test
DECLARE @t TABLE (Id INT , Input VARCHAR(MAX))
INSERT  INTO @t VALUES  ( 1, '1, 2, 3; 4; 5' ), ( 2, '6;7,8;9,10' )

-- SPLIT with many delimiters: ',' and ';'
DECLARE @sqlnet SQLNET = SQLNET::New('Regex.Split(input, ",|;")')

SELECT  *
FROM    @t AS A
        CROSS APPLY ( SELECT    *
                      FROM      dbo.SQLNET_EvalTVF_1(@sqlnet.ValueString('input', Input))
                    ) AS B

SQL Eval - Regular Expression Example
DECLARE @customer TABLE ( Email VARCHAR(255) )

INSERT  INTO @customer
VALUES  ( 'info@zzzprojects.com' ),
        ( 'invalid.com' ),
        ( 'sales@zzzprojects.com' )

DECLARE @valid_email SQLNET = SQLNET::New('Regex.IsMatch(email, 
@"^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$")')

-- SELECT 'invalid.com'
SELECT * FROM @customer WHERE @valid_email.ValueString('email', Email).EvalBit() = 0

Replace xp_cmdshell with restrictive alternative

Avoid enabling xp_cmdshell and compromising your SQL Server and use instead a more restrictive solution.

  • Improve maintainability
  • Improve readability
  • Improve security

SQL Eval - IO Example
-- REQUIRE EXTERNAL_ACCESS permission
DECLARE @sqlnet SQLNET = SQLNET::New('
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);

var dir = new DirectoryInfo(path);
return dir.GetFiles("*.*")
          .Select(x => new { x.FullName, FileContent = File.ReadAllText(x.FullName) })
          .OrderBy(x => x.FullName)')
          .Impersonate()

-- SELECT FullName, FileContext FROM DesktopFiles ORDER BY Fullname
