QUESTION POSED ON: 07 October 2004 Is there any way to alias a call to functions such as trim so that the database owner name is not required to be prepended to the
function name (e.g. dbo.trim)?
Oracle and DB2 seemed to provide this aliasing without much fuss, and we are faced with the prospect of modifying a lot of source
code to get stuff to play in SQL Server if we can't find an aliasing mechanism or some other work-around.

No. Currently, user defined functions require the use of the owner name.
