DELETE Procedure. How To Do This?

Dec 5, 2006

Hello,

I created a delete procedure which is working but I still have a
problem.

When I delete a localized content from dbo.by27_ContentLocalized given
a ContentName and ContentCulture I want to check if this is the only
record in ContentLocalized for that ContentName.

If it is then I also want to delete the record in dbo.by27_Content
which has that ContentName.

How can I do this?

Thanks,
Miguel

Here is my DELETE procedure:

-- Define the procedure parameters
@ContentCulture NVARCHAR(5),
@ContentName NVARCHAR(100)

AS

-- Allows @@ROWCOUNT and the return of number of records when
ExecuteNonQuery is used
SET NOCOUNT OFF;

-- Declare and define ContentId
DECLARE @ContentId UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;
SELECT @ContentId = ContentId FROM dbo.by27_Content WHERE ContentName =
@ContentName

-- Check if ContentId is Not Null
IF @ContentId IS NOT NULL
  BEGIN

    -- Check if ContentId is Null
    IF @ContentCulture IS NULL
      BEGIN

        -- Delete all localized contents from dbo.by27_ContentLocalized
        DELETE
        FROM dbo.by27_ContentLocalized
        WHERE ContentId = @ContentId

        -- Delete content from dbo.by27_Content
        DELETE
        FROM dbo.by27_Content
        WHERE ContentName = @ContentName;

      END
    ELSE

      -- Delete localized content from dbo.by27_ContentLocalized
      DELETE
      FROM dbo.by27_ContentLocalized
      WHERE (ContentID = @ContentID   AND ContentCulture = @ContentCulture)

  END

Help With Delete Procedure?

Mar 18, 2008

Hi, I am kinda stuck on a delete stored procedure in my project and I was wondering if you could give me a hand.

My table is like this: Image <----FKconstraint ----- ImageNote --------FKconstraint------>Note.

What I want to do is delete all the notes linkeds to and Image through ImageNote when I am calling the storedprocedure DeleteImage:

So far I did something like this:


DELETE FROM [ImageNote] WHERE [Image Id]=@Id
DELETE FROM [Note] WHERE Id IN (SELECT [Note Id] FROM [ImageNote] WHERE [Image Id]=@Id)

DELETE FROM [Image]
WHERE (Id = @Id)
RETURN


Obvisouly the second DELETE statement won't work as ""SELECT [Note Id] FROM [ImageNote] WHERE [Image Id]=@Id"" won't return a thing at that time. However I have to delete ImageNote first due to the constraint.

A friend told me I should try a trigger, but perhaps there would be something easier to do with some kind of array?

Using Trigger/Stored Procedure (Delete, Insert)?

Apr 18, 2008

I have 3 tables...TableA, TableB, TableC TableA - Personal InformationPersonalInfoId (Primary) , First Name,Last NameTableB - Personal Information To Department IDReferenceID, FKPersonalInfoId, FKDepartmentIdTableC - DepartmentDepartmentId, DepartmentNameI am coding Asp.Net VB using VWD express with Sql Server Express.  I know how to create a stored procedure to delete, insert and even update a record in TableA, TableB, TableC respectively.If I need to delete a record in TableC, which has a related record in TableB, I have read that I need to use a Trigger.  I never have used a Trigger and it is new to me.  Can someone point me a way on how to use one in this case of my deleting scenario.  Pretty much, if a user clicks on a delete button, and deletes a record in my TableC, I dont want a  FKDpartmentId in my TableB that doesnt exist anymore because it was deleted in TableC or prevent a user from deleting that record till the relationship in TableB is no longer valid. In the same vain, If I have a input form which ask the user to enter their First Name and Last Name and Department, i would like to add those records in TableA for First and Last Name, TableB for the Department.  Once again, how do I create a Trigger that if I insert a record in Table A to also insert the information for Department in Table B, if its successful in my stored procedure.  Hope that made sense.Thanks.

Stored Procedure For Insert / Update And Delete

Nov 26, 2013

How could I possibly write a SP for Insert, Update and Delete for the below tables under this condition. On some conditions they need to be queried, initially for Insert, first the data should be inserted to PROFILES table and then to ROLES table. When inserting, if an entry is new then it should be added to both the tables. Sometimes when I make an entry which is already present in PROFILES table, then in this case the value should be added to the ROLES table. And a delete query to delete rows from both the table.

CREATE TABLE PROFILES(
USER_ID varchar(20) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
Name varchar(40) NULL,

Stored Procedure To Delete And Insert Data

Jan 25, 2008

Hopefully someone can help me with this, or tell me if it's even possible for SQL Server 2005. I'm new to this and learning as I go along.

Here's what I want to do - I have a couple of queries running off a linked server. I want to take the results of those queries and insert them into a table in SQL Server, but first I want to delete the current contents of that table. I want to build a stored procedure that I can run monthly to temporarily store this data for review; once I'm ready to review the next month I want the procedure to delete the data in the table and then insert the next month's data. Hopefully that makes sense.


Is it possible to build? Anyone have any examples of such a thing, or can you point me someplace that might be able to help?

Thanks.

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: One Stored Procedure To Do Add / Update / Select And Delete

Apr 29, 2015

I would like to know if it is possible to build one SP to perform all the functions (Add, Update, delete and Select) and then use this in my code instead of making one SP per action. I know this is possible but the update part throws me a little. I used an online example to explain where I fall short on the subject.

USE [SomeTable]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[MasterInsertUpdateDelete]

[Code] ....

So using this as the Stored Procedure, how would I update a records Salary alone by the ID without having to use all the information with just the salary being the new value?

I have granted the user alter permission to the master database and when I try to delete get Error 4606. I try to grant CONTROL permission of the stored proc to the user and get another 4606 error.

Do I just have to control the permissions of these procedures tightly?

General Stored Procedure, For Insert, Update, Select, Delete?

May 7, 2007

Hi All,
As known its recommended to use stored procedures when executing on database for perfermance issue. I am thinking to create 4 stored procedures on my database (spSelectQuery, spInsertQuery, spUpdateQuery, spDeleteQuery)
that accept any query and execute it and return the result, rather than having a number of stored procedures for all tables? create PROCEDURE spSelectQuery
(
@select_query nvarchar(500)
)
as
begin

exec sp_executesql @select_query, N'@col_val varchar(50) out', @col_val out


end
 
Is this a good approach design, or its bad???
 
Thanks all

Writting Trigger Or Procedure To Delete Duplicate Entries In A Table?

Sep 3, 2007

I am using Sql Server 2000.
I have a customer table with fields - CustId, Name, Address, City, StdCode, Phone.
I used to insert entries in this table from an excel file.
One excel file will contain thousands of customer.
In this table combination of StdCode and Phone should not be repeated.
If I do it in my VB.Net coding.then application gets drastically slow.
So I want to write a procedure or trigger for this.
Here what I will do, I will send all records into database then this trigger or procedure will check for
any existing entry of combination of StdCode and phone. If entry exists then this will delete new entry
or will not allow this new entry.
Is this possible to do using Trigger or stored procedure?

Copy And Delete Table With Foreign Key References(...,...) On Delete Cascade?

Oct 23, 2004

Hello:
Need some serious help with this one...

Background:
Am working on completing an ORM that can not only handles CRUD actions -- but that can also updates the structure of a table transparently when the class defs change. Reason for this is that I can't get the SQL scripts that would work for updating a software on SqlServer to be portable to other DBMS systems. Doing it by code, rather than SQL batch has a chance of making cross-platform, updateable, software...

Anyway, because it needs to be cross-DBMS capable, the constraints are that the system used must work for the lowest common denominator....ie, a 'recipe' of steps that will work on all DBMS's.

The Problem:
There might be simpler ways to do this with SqlServer (all ears :-) - just in case I can't make it cross platform right now) but, with simplistic DBMS's (SqlLite, etc) there is no way to ALTER table once formed: one has to COPY the Table to a new TMP name, adding a Column in the process, then delete the original, then rename the TMP to the original name.

This appears possible in SqlServer too --...as long as there are no CASCADE operations.
Truncate table doesn't seem to be the solution, nor drop, as they all seem to trigger a Cascade delete in the Foreign Table.

So -- please correct me if I am wrong here -- it appears that the operations would be
along the lines of:
a) Remove the Foreign Key references
b) Copy the table structure, and make a new temp table, adding the column
c) Copy the data over
d) Add the FK relations, that used to be in the first table, to the new table
e) Delete the original
f) Done?

The questions are:
a) How does one alter a table to REMOVE the Foreign Key References part, if it has no 'name'.
b) Anyone know of a good clean way to get, and save these constraints to reapply them to the new table. Hopefully with some cross platform ADO.NET solution? GetSchema etc appears to me to be very dbms dependant?
c) ANY and all tips on things I might run into later that I have not mentioned, are also greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

SQL - Cascading Delete, Or Delete Trigger, Maintaining Referential Integrity - PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Nov 13, 2006

I am having great difficulty with cascading deletes, delete triggers and referential integrity.

The database is in First Normal Form.

I have some tables that are child tables with two foreign keyes to two different parent tables, for example:

Table A
/
Table B Table C
/
Table D

So if I try to turn on cascading deletes for A/B, A/C, B/D and C/D relationships, I get an error that I cannot have cascading delete because it would create multiple cascade paths. I do understand why this is happening. If I delete a row in Table A, I want it to delete child rows in Table B and table C, and then child rows in table D as well. But if I delete a row in Table C, I want it to delete child rows in Table D, and if I delete a row in Table B, I want it to also delete child rows in Table D.

SQL sees this as cyclical, because if I delete a row in table A, both table B and table C would try to delete their child rows in table D.

Ok, so I thought, no biggie, I'll just use delete triggers. So I created delete triggers that will delete child rows in table B and table C when deleting a row in table A. Then I created triggers in both Table B and Table C that would delete child rows in Table D.

When I try to delete a row in table A, B or C, I get the error "Delete Statement Conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE". This does not make sense to me, can anyone explain? I have a trigger in place that should be deleting the child rows before it attempts to delete the parent row...isn't that the whole point of delete triggers?????

This is an example of my delete trigger:

CREATE TRIGGER [DeleteA] ON A
FOR DELETE
AS
Delete from B where MeetingID = ID;
Delete from C where MeetingID = ID;

And then Table B and C both have delete triggers to delete child rows in table D. But it never gets to that point, none of the triggers execute because the above error happens first.

So if I then go into the relationships, and deselect the option for "Enforce relationship for INSERTs and UPDATEs" these triggers all work just fine. Only problem is that now I have no referential integrity and I can simply create unrestrained child rows that do not reference actual foreign keys in the parent table.

So the question is, how do I maintain referential integrity and also have the database delete child rows, keeping in mind that the cascading deletes will not work because of the multiple cascade paths (which are certainly required).

Hope this makes sense...
Thanks,
Josh

The 2nd table is Broker_Rates which also has a BID table.

I'm trying to figure out a t-sql statement that will parse through all the recrods in the Broker_Rates table and delete the record if there isn't a match for the BID record in the brokers table.

I know this isn't correct syntax but should hopefully clear up what I'm asking

DELETE FROM Broker_Rates

WHERE (Broker_Rates.BID <> Broker.BID)

Thanks
