Is it possible to list UDFs in order of creation date in SQL Server?

Question

I'm looking for a recent UDF, but can't remember the name of it, so if I could list them in order of when they were last modified that would help me find it.

Can this be done?

Answer 1

Yes, go to the View menu in Management Studio & select Object Explorer Details, then navigate to the UDF tree option you are interested in, i.e. Table-valued Functions.

The items under tha tree will appear in the Object Explorer Details panel, which you can order by Created Date.

Answer 2

Are you looking for this,

SELECT NAME,TYPE_DESC,CREATE_DATE,MODIFY_DATE
FROM SYS.OBJECTS
WHERE 
DATEDIFF(D,MODIFY_DATE, GETDATE()) < 7
ORDER BY modify_date DESC

Answer 3

You can use INFORMATION_SCHEMA datatbase.

Select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES 
where ROUTINE_TYPE = 'FUNCTION' 
order by CREATED desc

Above one is order by created date, if you want to order by altered date than use below.

Select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES where 
ROUTINE_TYPE = 'FUNCTION' order by 
LAST_ALTERED desc
