title: Can I create a One-Time-Use Function in a Script or Stored Procedure?
body: <p>In SQL Server 2005, is there a concept of a one-time-use, or local function declared inside of a SQL script or Stored Procedure? I'd like to abstract away some complexity in a script I'm writing, but it would require being able to declare a function.</p>
  
  <p>Just curious.</p>
