SQL函数 - 阶乘

Question

我是SQL函数的初学者.在SQL Server-Say 10中为factorial创建函数的最佳方法是什么？

Answer 1

一种非递归的方式

;With Nums As
(
select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) AS RN
FROM sys.objects
)
SELECT  POWER(10.0, SUM(LOG10(RN)))
FROM Nums
WHERE RN <= 10

并以递归的方式

declare @target int
set @target=10;

WITH N AS
     (SELECT 1 AS i,
           1 AS f

     UNION ALL

     SELECT i+1,
            f*(i+1)
     FROM   N
     WHERE  i < @target
     )
SELECT f FROM N
WHERE i=@target

Answer 2

这是一个递归解决方案:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Factorial ( @iNumber int )
RETURNS INT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @i  int

    IF @iNumber <= 1
        SET @i = 1
    ELSE
        SET @i = @iNumber * dbo.Factorial( @iNumber - 1 )
RETURN (@i)
END
