How To Prevent A Second Entry Being Inserted With Primary Key Value? (C#)

Jan 16, 2008

Ok, this is a really stupid question, but I can't seem to find an answer I understand. In my SQL database I have a a table called MasterSkillList, to which the user can write by using a little web form with a text box and a drop down list. The table has 2 fields, Skill and Attribute. Skill is the primary key, as no skill can appear twice. What I want to do is prevent just that, I don't want people to enter the same skill more than once. So how do I tell the user that the entry allready exists in the database?

 My C#  Code is as follows:1 protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
2 {
3 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Skill"].DefaultValue = txtSkillName.Text;
4 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Attribute"].DefaultValue = ddlAbility.SelectedValue;
5 try
6 {
7 srcAddSkill.Insert();
8 lblErrorMessage.Text = "The skill '" + txtSkillName.Text + "' has been added. It is based on a character's " + ddlAbility.SelectedItem + " score.";
9 lblErrorMessage.Visible = true;
10 txtSkillName.Text = "";
11 }
12 catch (Exception ex)
13 {
14 lblErrorMessage.Text = "An exception has occurred. " + ex.Message;
15 lblErrorMessage.Visible = true;
16 }

Prevent Data Being Inserted Twice

Nov 14, 2006

I have a table with 3 columns: ID, Status, DateTime.

I created a stored procedure to insert a staus value for each ID. This will run every hour. The DateTime stores the time, date when the Status was inserted.

If the procedure was to be run a second time in hour window I do not want any Status to be inserted.

Note: that I cannot rely on the procedure being run at exactly the right time - if it was scheduled to run on the hour (i.e at 1:00, 2:00, 3 :00 etc) but didn't run until 1:20 it sould still be able to run at 2:00.

Does anyone know if there is anyway I can gaurd against this?

Duplicate Entry In A Primary Key Field

Jul 10, 2007

Hi everybody couldn't get through with saving my data on the table with two primary keys...

my table structure is this

pubidintUnchecked (primary key)
pubchar(1)Unchecked
publchar(1)Unchecked
pubcodechar(2)Unchecked (primary key)

a sample data is here

pubid pub publ pubcode

1 a b ab
1 b b bb
2 a b ab
2 b b bb


when i save this table modifying the pubid and pubcode as primary keys the following error displays...

Unable to create index 'PK_PUBS3'.
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX terminated because a duplicate key was found for index ID 1. Most significant primary key is '51'.
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
The statement has been terminated.


what i understand is that on the primary key duplicates are not allowed how could i allow it?

thanks

How To Get The Primary Key From The Field Of The Row I've Just Inserted

Jan 4, 2005

I need to insert a row of data and return the value of the primary key id of the row.
I thought that something like this would work


int Key = (int)command.ExecuteScalar();


where command is SqlCommand object.

It doesn't work, maybe I've misunderstood the usage of ExecuteScalar.

Setting Primary Key Of New Row Being Inserted

Sep 21, 2006

Not sure if this is the right place for this post or not, but I'll give it a try...

If I am inserting a record into a table that uses a Primary Key, but not an Identity column, how do I insert the new primary key value? I started out with SQL just letting the Identity column increment itself for primary keys, but I cannot do that for this particular situation.

If 'AddressID' is the primary key in the 'Address' table, could I do something like this:

INSERT INTO Address (AddressID, Field1, Field2, ...)
VALUES (**max value of primary key in Address table, plus 1**, 'field1data', 'field2data', ...);

If that works, how would I make this part of the insert query:
**max value of primary key in Address table, plus 1** ?

I hope this question is clear and makes sense. If it's not, please let me know.

Inserted Records Missing In Sql Table Yet Tables' Primary Key Field Has Been Incremented.

Jun 18, 2007

I have a sql sever 2005 express table with an automatically incremented primary key field. I use a Detailsview to insert new records and on the Detailsview itemInserted event, i send out automated notification emails.
I then received two automated emails(indicating two records have been inserted) but looking at the database, the records are not there. Whats confusing me is that even the tables primary key field had been incremented by two, an indication that indeed the two records should actually be in table.  Recovering these records is not abig deal because i can re-enter them but iam wondering what the possible cause is. How come the id field was even incremented and the records are not there yet iam 100% sure no one deleted them. Its only me who can delete a record.
And then how come i insert new records now and they are all there in the database but now with two id numbers for those missing records skipped. Its not crucial data but for my learning, i feel i deserve understanding why it happened because next time, it might be costly.

OUTPUT INSERTED INTO Can't Get Column Value When That Column Is Not Inserted

Aug 22, 2013

I'm doing a data migration job from our old to our new database. The idea is that we don't want to clutter our new tables with the id's of the old tables, so we are not going to add a column "old_system_id" in each and every table that needs to be migrated.

I have created a number of tables in a separate schema "dm" (for Data Migration) that will store the link between the old database table and the new database table. Suppose that the id of a migrated record in the old database is 'XRP002-89' and during the insert into the new table the IDENTITY column id gets the value 1, the link table will hold : old_d = 'XRP002-89', new_id = 1, and so on.

I knew I can get the value of IDENTITY columns with the OUTPUT INTO clause, although I have never actually used it. And now I can't get it to do what I need.

Below is some code to set up three tables: the old table, the new one, and the table that will hold the link between the id's of records in the old database table and the new database table.

Code:
CREATE TABLE DaOldTable(
pkCHAR(10)NOT NULL,
a_columnCHAR(10)
)
CREATE TABLE DaNewTable(
idINTNOT NULL IDENTITY,

[Code] ....

Below I tried to use the OUTPUT INSERTED INTO clause. Beside getting the generated IDENTITY value, I also need to capture the value of the old id that will not be migrated to the new table. When I use "OUTPUT DaOldTable.pk" the system gives me the error: "The multi-part identifier "DaOldTable.pk" could not be bound." Using INSERTED .id gives no problem.

Code:
INSERT INTO DaNewTable(a_column)
--OUTPUT DaOldTable.pk, INSERTED.id link_old2new_DaTable--(DaOld_id, DaNew_id)
SELECT a_column
FROM DaOldTable

[Code] ...

--but getting "The multi-part identifier "DaOldTable.pk" could not be bound."

DROP TABLE DaOldTable
DROP TABLE DaNewTable
DROP TABLE link_old2new_DaTable

How can I populate a table that must hold the link between the id's of records in the old database table and the new database table? The records are migrated with set-based inserts.

Could Not Add The Entry...

Nov 22, 2005

Can someone please help me solve the following error? I am not sure of the version my hosting company is using and where to get the manual.
Could not add the entry because: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-id, title, entry, date_entered) VALUES ('testing', 'testing', . The query was INSERT INTO blog_entries (blog-id, title, entry, date_entered) VALUES ('testing', 'testing', 'testing'.


PHP Code:




if ($dbh = mysql_connect ('localhost', 'blu6592_money', 'rich')) {
    print '<p>Successfully connected to MySQL.</p>';

if (mysql_select_db ('blu6592_myblog')) {
    print '<p>The database has been selected.</p>';
} else {
    die ('<p>Could not select the database because: <b>' . mysql_error() . '</b></p>');
}

$query = "INSERT INTO blog_entries
(blog-id, title, entry, date_entered)
VALUES (0, '{$_POST['title']}',
'{$_POST['title']}',
'{$_POST['entry']}', NOW())";

if (mysql_query ($query)) {
    print '<p>The blog entry has been added.</p>';
} else {
    print "<p>Could not add the entry because: <b>" . mysql_error() . "</b>. The query was $query.</p>";
}

} else {

Last Entry In A Log

Aug 13, 2005

(I don't post here often, so in case I'm violating long-standing taboosof this newsgroup, I apologize in advance for calling a relation atable, using nulls, and other ignorant, destructive, and comtemptibleterminology.)I have a table that's keeping a sort of running log of different typesof changes to pieces of data. The table has a foreign key of the databeing changed, the foreign key for the type of change occuring, someinformation about the change in a couple more columns, and a timestampfor each entry. So it's:dataIDeventIDeventInfotimestampWhat I'd like to do, if at all possible, is a single SQL query that,given a dataID, returns the most recent eventInfo and timestamp foreach eventID. Is this possible?Many thanks.-Eric

SQL Injection - How To Prevent It?

Jan 21, 2007

I am building my first ASP.Net app from scratch and while working on the DAL I came across the problem of SQL Injection. I searched on the web and read different articles but I am still unsure about the answer. My question is should I add
 
db.AddInParameter(dbCommand, "AvatarImageID", DbType.Int32, avatarImageID);
 
Add in Parameters to my C# code to avoid SQL Injection. What is the best practice. I am unclear if the stored procedure already helps me avoid SQl Injection or if I need the add in parameters in the C# methods to make it work. I need some help. Thanks, Newbie
 
My C# update method in the DAL (still working on the code)
 
private static bool Update(AvatarImageInfo avatarImage)
        {
            //Invoke a SQL command and return true if the update was successful.
            db.ExecuteNonQuery("syl_AvatarImageUpdate",
                avatarImage.AvatarImageID,
                avatarImage.DateAdded,
                avatarImage.ImageName,
                avatarImage.ImagePath,
                avatarImage.IsApproved);
 
            return true;
        }
 
 
I am using stored procedures to access the data in the database.
 
My update stored proc
 
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
 
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[syl_AvatarImageUpdate]
      @AvatarImageID          int, 
      @DateAdded              datetime,  
      @ImageName              nvarchar(64),    
      @ImagePath              nvarchar(64),    
      @IsApproved             bit
AS
BEGIN
      -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
      -- interfering with SELECT statements.
      SET NOCOUNT ON;
      BEGIN TRY
            UPDATE      [syl_AvatarImages]
            SET
                        [DateAdded]       = @DateAdded,
                        [ImageName]       = @ImageName,
                        [ImagePath]       = @ImagePath,
                        [IsApproved]      = @IsApproved

Best Way To Prevent Deadlocks

May 29, 2008

I'm going thru my application log, and just seeing what errors are popping up. I have a relatively intense search feature, thats causing alot of deadlocks.

Exception type: SqlException
Exception message: Transaction (Process ID 105) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

In general, what's the best way to resolve this ?

Should I see if I can apply "WITH (NOLOCK)" to my data ?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated !


thanks again!

Prevent SP Compilation

Jul 20, 2005

Hi,I'm using SQL Server 2000 MSDE on a laptop running Windows XP.I have a couple of SP's that that quite some time to compile. So I waswondering: is there any way to have the database *not* recompile them everytime after a reboot?BOL says: "As a database is changed by such actions as adding indexes orchanging data in indexed columns, the original query plans used to accessits tables should be optimized again by recompiling them. This optimizationhappens automatically the first time a stored procedure is run afterMicrosoft® SQL ServerT 2000 is restarted."Now the SQL Server is restarted a lot, because laptops don't have endlessbatteries <g>Cheers,Bas

Anyone Know What Causes This Error Log Entry?

May 30, 2007

"High priority system task thread: Operating system error Exception 0xAE encountered."

we are seeing this on one of our development servers, running SQL 2005 Enterprise SP1. The symptom is that after the sql service has been running a while (order of days), this error starts getting written to the sql server log file over and over, and eventually the logfile fills the drive.

Apparently it's fixed by this hotfix, but our ops team doesn't want to install this - they'd rather just cycle the service and delete the log when it happens.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen it might know the root cause so we might be able to workaround it without cycling the service. I know, lame question. The correct answer is "install the hotfix" or "install sp2" but our ops team won't do that for now...

Prevent Duplication On UPDATE

Apr 15, 2007

Hello
I noticed a spelling mistake in the data in a column of several tables, I used the following syntax to alter the spelling:
UPDATE [dbo].[Prod_Cat]     SET  [ProdName]=N'merseyside'    WHERE ProdName = 'mmserseyside'
The above code correctly updated the spelling error, but it also inserted a new row with the corrected data. 
So I found myself with two Identical rows containing the corrected information. I had to manually delete the extra row. Because if I had put in a DELETE statement, I would have then lost both rows.
What do I need to do to prevent this happening next time.  As I find that I need to update the names of some products, but I don't want to duplicate them.
Thanks
Lynn

What Are Sql Injection Attacks And How To Prevent?

Jan 24, 2004

this is a question I put in the sql community in microsoft, but havent be answered in full

------------

I am using dynamic sql to do a query with differents 'order' sentences and/or 'where' sentences depending on a variable I pass to the sp

ex:

create proc ex
@orden varchar(100)
@criterio varchar(100)

as
declare consulta varchar(4000)

set consulta=N'select pais from paises where '+@criterio' order by '+@orden

------------

I'd like to know it it uses 2 sp in the cache, as I read, the main sp and the query inside the variable of the dynamic sql. if so, as I imagine, then I suppose I have to do the main sp without any 'if' sentence to be the same sp, and so taking it from the cache and not recompile the sp

now, I have various 'if' sentences in the main sp (the caller of the dynamic sql) but I plan to remove them and do the 'if' by program -it is in asp.net-, so I suppose it is better because in this way the main sp is took from the cache, supposing this uses the cache different that the dynamic sql in the variable

what do u think? does the dynamic sql use 2 caches? if so, u think it is better to try to do the main sp same in all uses (no 'if' statements)?


-----

They told me this coding is not good (dynamic sql) because it can give control to the user?

I ask, how does it give control to use? what ar sql injection attack and how to prevent them?

I use dynamis sql because I have 150 queries to do, and thought dynamic sql is good

is it true that dynamic sql have to be recompiled in each execution? I suppose so only if the sql variable is different, right?

can u help me?

How To Prevent SQL Injection Attacks

Apr 8, 2004

Hi,

On my site I have a simple textbox which is a keyword search, people type a keyword and then that looks in 3 colums of an SQL database and returns any matches

The code is basic i.e. SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column1 LIKE %searcg%

There is no validation of what goes into the text box and I am worried about SQL injection, what can I do to minimize the risk

I have just tried the site and put in two single quotes as the search term, this crashed the script so I know I am vunerable.

Can anyone help, perhaps point me in the direction of furthur resources on the subject?

Thanks

Ben
