Trigger works great, except for one problem.
ALTER trigger [dbo].[Loans_UpdateTrigger] on [dbo].[List] for Updateas insert into Loan_Audit
select *, Getdate(), system_user, 'Update'
from Deleted
The system_user returns "DomainNameWEB$ instead of the actual users name.
Any way to get the actual users name???
thanks

Are there any limitations or gotchas to updating the same table whichfired a trigger from within the trigger?Some example code below. Hmmm....

Hi,
I need a DELETE trigger to log the user who actually deleted the item in Sql Server. Problem is that I am using connection pooling on my SqlClient side of things and so all users share the same connection string user id.
Now, I need to be able to access both the connection_user id (otherwise known as system_user) and also the user on the executing thread on the client. I do this in Oracle and DB2.
So, can you tell me how to pass this info into the connection and how to extract it within Sql Server.
ThxP
I use asp.net 2.0 to access a SQL Server Express. I want to record the user who modify the database, so I create a trigger as follows:
BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for trigger here UPDATE Customer SET UpdateUser = SYSTEM_USER WHERE ID = (SELECT ID FROM inserted)END
In IIS ,I configed to use Integrated Windows authentication, The problem is when I modify the database, UpdateUser always setting to NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE.
How to record the user as the format DomainUsername?
Thanks,
Alvin
Hi,
We just restored our database from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005 for me to test things out. Right off the bat I started seeing errors where I could not select data from a table. I would get the "Invalid object" error unless I specified the schema of the object. I found this confusing because I was connected to the server using SQL Server Authentication as the schema_owner ( i.e user name and schema name were identical). I thought this was due to the fact that my DEFAULT_SCHEMA was not set but when I checked, user 'testuser' had schema 'testuser' as default_schema. I also made sure I was connected to the Database using SQL Server Authentication as user 'testuser'.
But the following would fail:
SELECT * FROM Employees
The following would however succeed.
SELECT * FROM TestUSer.Employees
I was really confused and when I read some posts and forums, I decided to check SYSTEM_USER and to my dismay, it returned my Domain login as the value as opposed to "TestUser". I re-connected using my Domain Account and SYSTEM_USER returned the Domaim Login as expected but when I switched to Sql Server Authentication and connected as user "testuser", SYSTEM_USER would still return my Domain Account. I believe this is the source of my problems. Can you tell me what's going on.?
I am a member of the sysadmins group and CURRENT_USER returns DBO. Please help as this is driving me nuts!
Thanks
I know that system_user can return different types of usernames based on the authentication method used to connect to the database. I am trying to nail down a standard field width for audit columns that store the return value from system_user but I can't find definitive information about the return type of the function. Does anyone know the maximum length of the return value from the system_user function and if its an nvarchar, varchar, nchar, etc.?
Thanks.
hi!
I have a big problem. If anyone can help.
I want to retrieve the last update time of database. Whenever any update or delete or insert happend to my database i want to store and retrieve that time.
I know one way is that i have to make a table that will store the datetime field and system trigger / trigger that can update this field record whenever any update insert or deletion occur in database.
But i don't know exactly how to do the coding for this?
Is there any other way to do this?
can DBCC help to retrieve this info?
Please advise me how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

I have a table where table row gets updated multiple times(each column will be filled) based on telephone call in data.
Initially, I have implemented after insert trigger on ROW level thinking that the whole row is inserted into table will all column values at a time. But the issue is all columns are values are not filled at once, but observed that while telephone call in data, there are multiple updates to the row (i.e multiple updates in the sense - column data in row is updated step by step),
I thought to implement after update trigger , but when it comes to the performance will be decreased for each and every hit while row update.
I need to implement after update trigger that should be fired on column level instead of Row level to improve the performance?
Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right forum to post this question.
I run an update statement like "Update mytable set status='S' " on the SQL 2005 management Studio.
When I run "select * from mytable" for a few seconds all status = "S". After a few seconds all status turn to "H".
This is a behaviour when you have an update trigger for the table. But I don't see any triggers under this table.
What else would cause the database automatically change my update?
Could there be any other place I should look for an update trigger on this table?
Thanks,
Hello
I've to write an trigger for the following action
When a entry is done in the table Adoscat79 having in the index field Statut_tiers the valeur 1 and a date in data_cloture for a customer xyz
all the entries in the same table where the no_tiers is the same as the one entered (many entriers) should have those both field updated
statut_tiers to 1
and date_cloture to the same date as entered
the same action has to be done when an update is done and the valeur is set to 1 for the statut_tiers and a date entered in the field date_clture
thank you for your help
I've never done a trigger before
I have an update trigger which fires from a transactiion table to update a parent record in another table. I am getting no errors, but also no update. Any help appreciated (see script below)
create trigger tr_cmsUpdt_meds on dbo.medisp for UPDATE as
if update(pstat)
begin
update med
set REC_FLAG = 2
from deleted dt
where med.uniq_id = dt.uniq_id
and dt.pstat = 2
and dt.spec_flag = 'kop'
end
I am trying to update a fields with an UPDATE statement but I keep getting the error message when I run the query.
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
I have this Update trigger that I know is causing the error message because I guess it's not built to manage multi-row updates.
Can someone help me re-write it. I also tried using the WHERE p.ID = p.ID but when I do that it modifies all rows in the modifieddate column instead of just the cells/rows that I'm updating
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[MultitrigCA]
ON [dbo].[ProdDesc]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
IF UPDATE (codeabbreviation)
UPDATE p
sET p.ModifiedDate = GETDATE()
FROM ProdDesc AS p
WHERE p.ID = (SELECT ID FROM inserted)

hi!
i have a database with about 20 tables. i appended to each table a column "UpdatedOn", and i want to write a trigger to set the date of the update date in that column, using a trigger.
i want to avoid the trigger launching for the last column (UpdatedOn).
how can i detect the rows that changed, and modify only the update date/time?
i read something about TableName_Inserted and TableName_Deleted, but i would prefer to copy as generic as possible the data from there, meaning, not to write column names in my script.
another idea i thought about was to prevent the trigger executing if no other column except for UpdatedOn changed, but... i encounter some trouble, when i try to pass column name (as string) to UPDATE() function.(Error: Expecting ID or QUOTED_ID)
thank you in advance.
Hello All,
I've been adviced without much detail that the best way to handle updates is with an Update Trigger to write to an AuditTable.
I always thought it was better to avoid triggers.
I'm getting confused very fast in reading about triggers.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Thank you,
Tina
i am using address table to store the address of employees, agents, students; so can't use cascade update and delete. so i decided to use trigger but i got stuck here as well.
Here employeeid is the PK of employee id. so when it is updated, i want to update that id in corresponding address table as well.
so what i need is to find out the previous value of EmployeeID before updating to use in WHERE clause and new EmployeeID to use in SET clause.
<code>
CREATE TRIGGER [AddressUpdate] ON [dbo].[MCS_Employee]
FOR UPDATE
AS
IF UPDATE(EmployeeID)
BEGIN
UPDATE MCS_Address SET EmployeeID = 'i am stuck here; how to know the previous value?
WHERE EmployeeID = ???
END
</end>
ironically, PK in my table can be updateable as well.
Hello all. I have a table which is the exact replication of a different table. Now if an update takes place in the original table I want to copy that row into the new table without the update.I have this but I am not sure if it works.Create Trigger Content_Archive on content
For Update
As
Insert Into content_audit Select * From DeletedI dont know if Updated exists so I am using Deleted. It is returning both rows (before and after update). And the insert should take place as soon as an update takes place in any field in the content table.
Hello, I have two tables, looks as follow.
TOPIC
------
TOPIC_ID
STATUS_ID
TOPIC
THREAD
-------
THREAD_ID
TOPIC_ID
STATUS_ID
THREAD
THREAD_DATE
NAME
I want to update STATUS_ID in TOPIC when I post a new THREAD.
I guess the best would be to use a trigger?
Don't know much how you write them so if someone please could help or point me in right direction.
My plan is to always show the updated STATUS_ID in TOPIC while I have history in the THREAD TBL.
I am using MS SQL 7.0
Thanks for a great site.

I have an update trigger on a table on my transactional database that inserts a row of data into another database (audit database)for any modification made on the transactional database.
So if i modify a row on tran db it will write the data modified as a new row in the audit db.
This works fine if I am updating only 1 row with each Update statement. However if I update more than 1 row (multiple rows) with the same Update statement, the update trigger only inserts the last row modified in the audit database. So I lose record of any other rows modified with the same update statement.
Is there a way by which i can change my Update trigger or something, so I get all the rows updated by 1 update statement inmy audit database???
Thanks a bunch,
Judy

Is there a way I can get the old value of a specific field when using an update trigger?
e.g. I want to use the condition 'If Update(Column) '
in odrer to create a logfile which stores the old and new value of a field.

Is there a way I can get the old value (before update) also??

Hallo there,
I'm totally new to writing triggers, but managed to get a trigger to update a specific column (ufINCTcost) on change of another column (ufINCKm)
My problem is that the trigger performs this update on ALL rows, which makes it very slow. How can I get it to only update the column on the row where the change was made ?
My trigger looks as follows:
CREATE TRIGGER updateincidents ON [dbo].[_rtblIncidents]
FOR UPDATE, INSERT
AS
IF UPDATE (ufINCKm)
BEGIN
UPDATE dbo._rtblIncidents
SET ufINCTcost=dbo._rtblIncidents.ufINCKm+dbo._rtblInc idents.ufINCToll+dbo._rtblIncidents.ufINCParking+d bo._rtblIncidents.ufINCFlight+dbo._rtblIncidents.u fINCRental
Hope you can help !!
Hi,
I've got 2 tables, EMPLOYEE and STORE
The EMPLOYEE table holds all the basic stuff you would want to know about an employee and it contains a STORE_CODE attribute that points to the same attribute in the STORE table (to keep track of the store they work at). The STORE table has the STORE_CODE attribute, a NUM_EMP attribute that keeps track of the number of employees at that store, and some other information that is of no relevance to the question.
I've written the following TRIGGER to update the NUM_EMP attribute in STORE everytime a row is inserted or deleted from EMPLOYEE. It works fine for inserts and deletes but I am clueless as how to make it work for updates (an EMPLOYEE transfers to another store). I appreciate any feedback and please feel free to tell where I've gone wrong so far.
Thanks!

This is something I have limited experience on. I need to create an update trigger after insert on one table that updates a completely different production table. My development server is being re-done and I'm not sure when it will be back on line. I have created some audit tables using triggers but they a simple inserts into a new table.
I believe the trigger statement should look like this, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
