Saving a stored procedure or a user defined function in SQL 2000

I can create stored procedures and user defined functions in the Query
Analyzer, but the only option I see for saving are to save to an external
sql file. Is there a way to save directly to the database while in Query
Analyzer?
BillThey are normally saved by default. If you start your stored procedure, for
example, with CREATE PROCEDURE myProcname etc. and you execute that query
you have just created (or saved sort of) that myProcname Stored Procedure
into your database.

it. This query is the CREATE syntax for creating the object. When you
execute that it is being saved. To modify it you would then ALTER it. If you
go to books online and search for CREATE PROCEDURE you will see more on
that.

I tried this for a stored procedure and it did save it to my database. But
I can't get it to work for a user defined function. In Query Analyzer the
user defined function parses with no errors, but it won't create in the
database. Any thoughts?

So when you execute the code that says CREATE FUNCTION ...
what happens? If you don't get any error, the function should be saved in
your database.
What makes you think it isn't created?
Perhaps you are looking for it in the Object Explorer and you didn't
refresh?

What error message are you getting when you execute your CREATE FUNCTION
statement?

It appears the function did save into the database, although it's not
showing up under User Defined Functions. It is showing up when I view
permissions under Users for user dbo, and an error message is popping up
there as follows:
"Error 21776 [SQL DMO] - the name 'test_function_getbalances' was not fo
und
in the UserDefinedFunctions collection. If the name is a qualified name,
use [] to separate various parts of the name, and try again."
I can't change the name or delete the function because I can't see it in the
database. Is there a way to repair this?

it is showing up as an object that you can assign permissions to it is in
your database.
When are you getting that error? When trying to assign permissions? Try and
close Enterprise Manager and reopen it.
Can you call the function and use it?

list. Before, I was getting the error message when clicking on Permissions
for the dbo user who owns the function. This went away after the refresh.
Thanks to all for your help.
