All,

We’d like to be able to select records from a table where we use an Expression 
in a SelectQuery for most attributes, but then we want to limit the query to an 
IN or EXISTS qualifier as well.  We’d rather not bring all the objects back 
just so we can do the query, so we’d like to add something like this:

Where exists (select 1
                          From dbo. udf_portfolio_list(@root_port_num) p
                          Where ti.real_port_num = p.port_num and
                                       p.port_type = ‘R’)


udf_portfolio_list is a function defined in SQL Server that can find all the 
children of a top level portfolio in a hierarchical structure.  This could be 
quite a large set, which is why we want to push this off to the DB server.

Ideally, we could build an expression using the standard tools, then just add 
on a raw SQL expression to call the function.

What’s the best way to accomplish this?

Many thanks,
Ken
