Hello
Is there nay way that it is possible to connect to another database within a trigger€¦
My scenario is that an update in a table in database X triggers several updates in a table in Database Y. The databases are on the same SQL Server
Thanks for any ideas, solutions or hints you can give me..!!!
Hi All,
I am trying to open multiple connections in a Managed Trigger but encoutering an error as :
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Transaction context in use by another session.
Below is the sample code:
public partial class Triggers
{
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlTrigger (Name="TrgInsertContract", Target="Contracts", Event="FOR INSERT")]
public static void TrgInsertContract()
{
SqlTriggerContext triggContext = SqlContext.TriggerContext;
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("context connection = true");
connection.Open();
SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "SELECT * from " + "inserted WHERE Active=1";
SqlDataReader reader;
reader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
connection.Close();
SqlConnection connection1 = new SqlConnection("Initial Catalog=TestDB;Data Source=SHAIKDEV;User ID=sa;password=****");
connection1.Open();
}
Any help please ?????
Thanks...
Hi, I have a VB application running on SQL Enterprise Edition. Physically there are only 20 users loging in to the software at one time. However i can see more that 12 SPIDs for each user. The developers have been opening a new connection for each form in the application i guess. Is it normal or is there any specific requirement that foces them to do so? Shall i need to change the default WORKER-THREADS option on the server for peformance? Suggestions please!!!
Regards.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a SQLExpress Database that I can connect to from a C# application and seperately from an application via 'OBDC' with NO problems. Both applications are running on the Local PC running XPpro.
However, I cannot connect to the same database from both applications at the same time!
Is there a way around this ?, is it a restriction of the Express version ?
I am using ODBC to connect to SQL Server. The documentation says that ODBC transactions are managed on the connection level and cannot span connections.
Does this mean that two instances of my code using transactions (each with its own process and a single connection) in the same machine accessing the same database will not play nice together (violate transaction rules)?
Thanks
If I have 100 ODBC clients all submitting the following SQL at the same time how do I know that the SQL inside the conditional only gets executed once. It appear SQL Server is preventing it from happening but was curious how. Or do I need to add something to prevent it from happening.
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE type='U' AND name = 'mytable)
BEGIN
CREATE table mytable (task int NOT NULL, first_name varchar(128), last_name varchar(128))
END
basically, is it inefficient to open and close a data connection everytime data needs to be retrieved or is there a way for a user to use the same conenction over multiple pages orfor multiple users to share one global data connection I just wanted to know this before I built a site where data could be constantly being pulled or put into the database.It would be easier to just keep opening and closing the connection since it just means pasting in the small chunk of code I use to do that where I need it. I hear speak of connections sometimes not closing etc and wonder if that is an issue then if you are opening and closing too many of them. I am using SqlConnection SqlCommand and SqlDatareader , my code works, just wondering if my approach lacked scalability before I find out too late and have to rewrite everything . Jim

Is it possible to create a trigger with multiple actions?
I would like to create a trigger with INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE funtions but I have not been above to find a clear syntax example
Below I have created a statement of my trigger. Could somebody please confirm if the syntac in this multiple action trigger is ok.multple actions on a single trigger
Is this syntax correct?
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[trig_AddDomCatA] ON DomainNames For INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE

INSERT INTO Domain_CatA (DomainName)SELECT DomainName FROM INSERTED
ASDELETE FROM Domain_CatA (DomainName)SELECT DomainName FROM DELETED
ASUPDATE INTO Domain_CatA (DomainName)SELECT DomainName FROM UPDATED

I have a messy design that I can't change but need to keep in synch. I have a master table where a person's info is entered into. Upon that entry I have to take that info (name, bdate,ssn,location) and populate it to 4 separate tables in 4 separate databases, all of which have their own id field which has to be incremented (no none of them are identity columns). At the end of the process I have to update the master record with the id fields of all the other four tables. I was going to do this with an insert trigger. As far as protecting the id's across all four databases, I was going to use a begin trans and get the next id field for all four databases and then apply the logic to add the records. Does this seem a safe approach, or am I missing something? Do I need to do a begin tran for each database separately?
THanks
I have a question regarding Triggers.
Lets say I want to create a trigger for Insert, Update and Delete action. For each action I do different things.
Now I can create a single trigger for Insert, delete and update, and using counts for inserted and deleted table, take the action appropriately.
Or I can create three different triggers each for Insrt, update and delete.
Which option is better for performance?
Thanks
Hi i've searched a lot with no results, im trying to do a trigger, this is the scenario
Got 3 tables, Product, Lines, Sublines
If Update Multiple sublines it should be updated to the products table, but i cant because the inserted table has multiple rows, the only way to do this is using cursors???
(Note, i cant do this using cascade because there are others, if i include this get a circular problem so i have to solve this other way)
I have a requirement that if in a table update happened based on 1st condition then it should insert in one way and if update happened on second condition the insert statement will differ. That is it should insert the deleted records i.e., previous records existed in a table.The syntax is like
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[tr_a] on [dbo].[A]
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN TRY
IF NOT EXISTS
[code]....
I m getting some syntactical errors.
I have the following trigger that updates a couple test fields to null when they are 1/1/1900, works great on inserts, and one line updates:
CREATE TRIGGER UpdateDate
ON test
AFTER INSERT, UPDATE
AS
UPDATE Test
SET
[CheckDate] = CASE WHEN [CheckDate] = '19000101' THEN NULL ELSE [CheckDate] END,
[CheckDate2] = CASE WHEN [CheckDate2] = '19000101' THEN NULL ELSE [CheckDate2] END
where AutoID = (select AutoID from inserted)
However, when trying to do a multi line update statement, I get the following error:
Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure UpdateDate, Line 7
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.The statement has been terminated
How can I get around this?
Hi,
I have a SQL Agent Job that selects records that are of a particular age (from Table1) and inserts them into another table (Table 2) - multiple records get inserted as a single INSERT step. On Table 2 I then have a trigger set FOR INSERT which I was hoping would send an email using the fields copied from the batch job, one of which being an email address.
The trigger is: -
Code Snippet
CREATE TRIGGER trgSendMail ON Table2 FOR INSERT AS
DECLARE @myEmail VarChar(50)
SELECT @myEmail = strEmail FROM Inserted
EXEC sp_send_dbmail
@Profile_Name = '{MailProfile}',
@Recipients = @myEmail,
@Subject = '{MailTitle}',
@Body = '{MailBody}'
Thing is, the agent works fine but the trigger only sends an email to the first row inserted.
Any ideas on how to get around this so that if the batch job inserts 10 rows into Table2 then 10 emails are sent out?
Shaun.
I have a table which when certain columns are updated, need a trigger to fire to update a next schedule date in that same table for that record. I can write the trigger, but my question for performance and efficiency is which approach would be better. Separate triggers fo the 8 columns, or a large trigger with an If to check if these columns are updated.
Thanks
Hey, I have couple of triggers to one of the tables. It is failing if I update multiple records at the same time from the stored procedure.
UPDATE
table1
SET
col1 = 0
WHERE col2 between 10 and 20

Server: Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure t_thickupdate, Line 12
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
The statement has been terminated.
What is the best possible way to make it work? Thank you.
DESCRIPTION: I have an FTP server set up to log via ODBC into a table FTPLog. The trigger on table FTPLog fires when new files are received to process and load the file via a stored procedure.
CREATE TRIGGER tr_new_file ON FTPLog
AFTER INSERT
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @filename varchar(50), @logtime datetime
DECLARE c1 CURSOR
FOR SELECT filename, logtime
FROM inserted
OPEN c1
FETCH NEXT FROM c1
INTO @filename, @logtime
WHILE @@fetch_status = 0
BEGIN
EXEC sp1 @filename, @logtime
FETCH NEXT FROM c_inserted
INTO @filename, @logtime
END
CLOSE c1
DEALLOCATE c1
END
PROBLEM: There are multiple problems with this setup. The first problem is that when the stored procedure gets executed it takes a long time to process the file and the FTP server never returned a completion code to the ftp client and ended with a connection time out from the client. My users keep asking if the FTP failed but it didnt fail. The server returned a completion code too late.
PROBLEM2: When multiple files are ftp to the server on the same session, only the first one gets process. Even though my code loops through all the records because the processing takes a long time the second one never gets executed. If I replace the EXEC sp1 statement with a PRINT statement then it's working fine.
SOLUTIONS and SUGGESTIONS highly appreciated.

Hello,
Anyone know how to create an update trigger where the primary key isn't fixed.
If the primary key change how can I tie together the Deleted and Inserted tables if more than one row is updated?

Multiple rows to insert:
---------------------
insert into Customer(CustomerId,Name,Value)
select CustomerId,Name,Value
from CustomerTemp
Trigger in Customer table that invoke a function:
alter TRIGGER [dbo].[Calculation] ON [dbo].[Customer]
AFTER INSERT

update Customer
set Percentage = dbo.GetPercentage((select Value from inserted))
where CustomerId = (select CustomerId from inserted)
I'm getting the error for the multiple row.Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.Is there a way to let me insert multiple rows, using the trigger that invoke a function ?
My goal is to create a trigger to automatically set the value for a status id on a table based on set criteria. Depending on the values of other fields will determine the value that the status id field is assigned. So far, I have written the trigger to update the status id field and I go through a seperate Update statement for each status id value. The problem is that I can't get this to work at the record level. The problem that I am getting is that if I have 50 records in TABLE1 and at least one of them satisfies the where clause of the update statement, all of the records get updated. So, using these two update statements, all of my records end up with a status value of '24' because that was the last update statement run in the trigger. Here is the code I have so far:
CREATE TRIGGER dbo.JulieTrigger1
ON dbo.Table1
AFTER INSERT,UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
/*Update Table1.Status to POTENTIAL (id 23) status */
UPDATE TABLE1
SET status_id = 23
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM TABLE1 a INNER JOIN TABLE2 b
ON b.order_id = a.order_id
WHERE a.start_dt IS NULL
AND b.current_status_ind = 1
AND b.lead_status_id NOT IN (15,16)
AND a.order_id = TABLE1.order_id)
/*Update Table1.Status to ACTIVE (id 24) status */
UPDATE TABLE1
SET status_id = 24
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM TABLE1 a
WHERE fill_ind = 1
AND (end_dt IS NULL OR end_dt > getdate() )
AND a.job_order_id = TABLE1.job_order_id)
END TRY

I have two tables called ECASE and PROJECT
In the ECASE table there is trigger to get the max value of case_id column in ecase based on project and increment one to that case_id value and insert into ecase table .
When we insert a new record to the ECASE table this trigger calls and insert the case_id column value.
When i run with multiple threads , the transaction is rolled back because of trigger . The reason is , on the project table the lock is happening while getting the max value of case_id column based on project.
I need to prevent the deadlock .
I am trying to create a logon trigger. As I am testing this, I discovered that each time I do a connection, I get 19 rows, inserted into my audit table. I ran profiler, and I see it is going through the logon trigger multiple times, for a single connection. So, what am I doing wrong? The code is fairly simplistic, and the profiler doesn't give a clue, as to what is going on. When I look at the output, I see the spid for the first couple of connections are different, then a spid, that is different from those 2 is in the next 17 rows. But, when I do an sp_who2, that spid does not exist.
This issue was noticed on a 2012 version, that I was first testing on, then had the same issue on a 2008 R2. I am currently testing on a 2014 version, that is doing the same thing. Is the logon trigger itself, firing, and causing this?
I also tried using the After Logon option, and got the same issue.

Hi there,
Here we have got a

Hi
I am trying to use multiple insert for a table T1 to add multiple rows.

Just a quick question about connection management. My application willnever need more than 1 or 2 connections about at any given time. Also, I donot expect many users to be connected at any given time. For efficiency, Iwould like to keep connections alive throughout the lifetime of the objectsrequiring them, rather than opening a new connection, executing code andthen closing it again. What is the most efficient way of doing this?Should I perform the open/close or just one open when I create the objectand a close when I dispose of it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHey,
I'm new to this whole SQL Server 2005 thing as well as database design and I've read up on various ways I can integrate business constraints into my database. I'm not sure which way applies to me, but I could use a helping hand in the right direction.
A quick explanation of the various tables I'm dealing with:
WBS - the Work Breakdown Structure, for example: A - Widget 1, AA - Widget 1 Subsystem 1, and etc.
Impacts - the Risk or Opportunity impacts for the weights of a part/assembly. (See Assemblies have Impacts below)
Allocations - the review of the product in question, say Widget 1, in terms of various weight totals, including all parts. Example - September allocation, Initial Demo allocation, etc. Mostly used for weight history and trending
Parts - There are hundreds of Parts which will eventually lead to thousands. Each part has a WBS element. [Seems redundant, but parts are managed in-house, and WBS elements are cross-company and issued by the Government]
Parts have Allocations - For weight history and trending (see Allocations). Example, Nut 17 can have a September 1st allocation, a September 5th allocation, etc.
Assemblies - Parts are assemblies by themselves and can belong to multiple assemblies. Now, there can be multiple parts on a product, say, an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), and so those parts can belong to a higher "assembly" [For example, there can be 3 Nut 17's (lower assembly) on Widget 1 Subsystem 2 (higher assembly) and 4 more on Widget 1 Subsystem 5, etc.]. What I'm concerned about is ensuring that the weight roll-ups are accurate for all of the assemblies.
Assemblies have Impacts - There is a risk and opportunity impact setup modeled into this design to allow for a risk or opportunity to be marked on a per-assembly level. That's all this table represents.
A part is allocated a weight and then assigned to an assembly. The Assemblies table holds this hierarchical information - the lower assembly and the higher one, both of which are Parts entries in the [Parts have Allocations] table.
Therefore, to ensure proper weight roll ups in the [Parts have Allocations] table on a per part-basis, I would like to check for any inserts, updates, deletes on both the [Parts have Allocations] table as well as the [Assemblies] table and then re-calculate the weight roll up for every assembly. Now, I'm not sure if this is a huge performance hog, but I do need to keep all the information as up-to-date and as accurate as possible. As such, I'm not sure which method is even correct, although it seems an AFTER DML trigger is in order (from what I've gathered thus far). Keep in mind, this trigger needs to go through and check every WBS or Part and then go through and check all of it's associated assemblies and then ensure the weights are correct by re-summing the weights listed.
If you need the design or create script (table layout), please let me know.
Thanks.
