SQLFinancials extends the T-SQL scripting environment by adding financial analysis functions similar to those found in the MS Excel analysis toolpack, but which can be used directly within the database.

Performing data analysis from within the database tends to be much faster and more efficient than transporting the data across the network to a client application, and also allows simpler and cleaner application architectures.

All the financial functions which have an equivalent in Excel are numerically faithful to a very high degree of accuracy, enabling easy migration of Excel-based business operations to a database environment.

In addition, however, many of those functions are effective over a broader range of input values than their Excel counterparts, and there are some additional functions not found in Excel.

The list of available functions includes:

ACCRINT, ACCRINTM, AMORDEGRC, AMORLINC, COUPDAYS, COUPDAYSBS, COUPDAYSNC, COUPNCD, COUPNUM, COUPPCD, CUMIPMT, CUMIPRINC, DAYCOUNT, DAYSINYEAR, DB, DDB, DISC, DOLLARDE, DOLLARFR, DURATION, EFFECT, FV, FVSCHEDULE, INTRATE, IPMT, IRR, ISPMT, MDURATION, MIRR, NOMINAL, NPER, NPV, ODDFPRICE, ODDFYIELD, ODDLPRICE, ODDLYIELD, PMT, PPMT, PRICE, PRICEDISC, PRICEMAT, PV, RATE, RECEIVED, SLN, SYD, TBILLEQ, TBILLYIELD, VDB, XIRR, XNPV, YEARFRAC, YIELD, YIELDDISC, YIELDMAT
