SDU Tools: Currencies by Country in SQL Server T-SQL

I recently posted about how we added Countries and Currencies to our free SDU Tools for developers and DBAs. I use those all the time in drop-down lists. But the other one that’s super-helpful, is to know which are the official currencies for each country. So we’ve added another view called CurrenciesByCountry.

It’s a simple view that returns details of the current list of official currencies for each country. You can see it here:

For each country, it returns the 3 character country code, and the 3 character currency code.

This can easily be combined with our Countries and Currencies view to get a more complete story:

SELECT c.CountryCode, c.CountryName,
       cur.CurrencyCode, cur.CurrencyName,
       cur.CurrencySymbol
FROM SDU_Tools.CurrenciesByCountry AS cbc
INNER JOIN SDU_Tools.Countries AS c
ON c.CountryCode = cbc.CountryCode 
INNER JOIN SDU_Tools.Currencies AS cur
ON cur.CurrencyCode = cbc.CurrencyCode
WHERE c.CountryName = N'Tuvalu';

You can use our tools as a set or as a great example of how to write functions like these.
