newid() inside sql server function
here's a clever solution:
create view getNewID as select newid() as new_idcreate function myfunction ()returns uniqueidentifieras begin return (select new_id from getNewID)endthat i can't take credit for. i found it here:http://omnibuzz-sql.blogspot.com/2006/07/accessing-non-deterministic-functions.html

You can pass NEWID() as a parameter to your function.
CREATE FUNCTION SOMEIDFUNCTION( @NEWID1 as varchar(36), @NEWID2 as varchar(36))RETURNS varchar(18)ASBEGIN -- Do something -- DECLARE @SFID varchar(18) SELECT @SFID = 'DYN0000000' + LOWER(LEFT(@NEWID1,4)) + LEFT(@NEWID2,4) RETURN @SFIDENDGOCall the function like this;
SELECT dbo.SOMEIDFUNCTION(NewID(),NewID())
use it as a default instead
create table test(id uniqueidentifier default newsequentialid(),id2 int)insert test(id2) values(1)select * from testNB I used newsequentialid() instead of newid() since newid() will cause pagesplits since it is not sequential, see here: Some Simple Code To Show The Difference Between Newid And Newsequentialid
