say i have a query like:
UPDATE table SET status = 1 WHERE id = 1000
if i have a trigger on that table, is there anyway i can get the id ?
i know i can get the status by SELECT status FROM Inserted, but anyway to get what the id is? or would i just have to update the id as well?
thanks
I have 2 tables
Primary_Table (Key, ........)
Foreign_Table (Key_1, Key_2, ............)
I want this:
If I update the Key in Primary_Table then
Key_1 is Update where Key_1 = Key
AND
If I update the Key in Primary_Table then
Key_2 is Update where Key_2 = Key
I can not use CONSTRAINT because I can not use ON UPDATE CASCADE for this case (It not possible to use 2 CONSTRAINT WITH ON UPDATE CASCADE).
I WANT TO USE TRIGGERS
This is my trigger (but I am not sure it is the best way ?)
CREATE TRIGGER Test ON [Primary_table]
FOR UPDATE
AS
Declare @NewValue varchar(30)
Declare @OldValue varchar(30)
SET @NewValue = (Select Key From Inserted)
SET @OldValue = (Select Key From Deleted)
UPDATE [Foreign_Table]
SET [Foreign_Table].[Key_1] = @NewValue
FROM [Foreign_Table] WHERE [Key_1] = @OldValue
UPDATE [Foreign_Table]
SET [Foreign_Table].[Key_2] = @NewValue
FROM [Foreign_Table] WHERE [Key_2] = @OldValue
Sorry for my english.
Please consider I am a beginner
Hello,
I have a table that allows a user (from another table) to belong to multiple organizations. Part of this table's schema is a column that will be used to allow the user to indicate which organization that they belong to will be the primary one. A user can only have one PRIMARY organization. I was going to handle via an Insert or Update Trigger...checking to see if the userid already a Primary. However, now I am wondering if a Constraint would be the way to go? I admit though, I don't know enough about Constraints to know how this would work.
The table's schema is like:
UserOrg
UserOrgID (an identity column)
UserID (foreign key to the user's table)
Org (the name of the org)
PrimaryOrg (bit column)
Thanks for any help.

I am not sure if this is the correct forum but i thought i'd ask and see if you can help me!
I have a table with 2 columns:
1st column will house numbers from 1 to 50
2nd column will be date
I want the users to be able to pick a number for certain date and enter it to the table, however I don't want the system to allow the same number for the same date. I was looking at constraints and triggers but can't make out what exactly i should use and how. The Insert will be initiated from ASP page on our intranet. Please help!!!

Hello all
The majority of my database experience comes from ORACLE and i am trying to use some functionality that i have already used in Oracle into a project i am working on in MSDE.
I want to create a trigger that uses a DML constraint that will prevent a tenants from being inserted into a house if the bedroom count is less or equal to the number of tenants currently in the house.
The oracle code is below
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER Tenant_room_check
BEFORE INSERT or update of tenant_ID ON Tenant
FOR each row
as (new.tenant_ID is not null)
DECLARE
Tenant_count NUMBER;
Bedroom_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
select count(Tenant_ID) as Tenant_count
from Tenant
where tenant_ID = :new.tenant_ID
and House_ID = 1
AND Tenant_status = 1;
select count(ROOM_ID) as bedroom_count
from Room
where Room_Name = 'Bedroom'
and House_ID = 1
if (Tenant_count > Bedroom_count)
then raise_application_error(-20601,
'you cannot have more tenants than the number of bedrooms in a student house');
END IF;
END;
/
Ideally I would like to pass the HOUSE_ID and the TENANT_ID from my application using @variablename
I have been looking over forums and in books but i am getting all confused over the syntax to use.
Please Help
Many Thanks

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the order in which uniqueness constraints on indexes are enforced vs. when triggers are executed ? I have a unique constraint on an index and a trigger on the column on which the same index has been created. When a row is inserted, the trigger checks if the value for that column already exists in the table - if not, it inserts the row as is, else it gets the max() val of the column (based on another key column) and increments it by one, then does the insert. Creating an index across the two works fine, but if I set the Unique Values property for the index, subsequent inserts bomb out - yet there aren't any duplicates in the final table, as the trigger ensures this. Anyone got any ideas on this? My deduction is that the uniqueness constraint gets enforced before the trigger gets executed, but at the same time this *seems* illogical, as the row has not been inserted into the table at the point where the trigger is executed.
Regards,
Jon Reade.
Hi.
I was wondering how I should go about doing this thing. I need to put a value in a column that is based on values on other columns in the same row.
When this statement executes I need to put a value in Col3.
insert into myTable(Col1, Col2)
values(25, -14)
Something like so:
if(Col1 >0 AND Col2 <0)
set Col3 = Col1 - Col2
else
set Col3 = Col1;
I don't now quite how to solve this. I am really going to need this value in a column. Calculating the value at retrieval is not on option...
I appreciate all help. I'm using SQL Server 2005.
Thanks!
how to i write a trigger to enforce this constraint..A rental can be made only if the customer is registered with the company and the car is not currently rented out. If not, the rental will not be successful.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi there,
I am looking for a way to define a trigger that is a replacement for a multi-column foreign key.
I know how to a convert a single-column foreign key constraint into a trigger (i.e., to resolve diamond-structured references).
CREATE TABLE parent_tab
(
col_a INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY(col_a)
);
CREATE TABLE child_tab
(
col_x INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT fk FOREIGN KEY (col_x) REFERENCES parent_tab(col_a) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
The conversion would remove the foreign key definition and add this trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER tr_single
ON parent_tab INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS BEGIN
DELETE FROM child_tab WHERE (child_tab.col_x IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted))
DELETE FROM parent_tab WHERE (parent_tab.col_a IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted))
END;
Unfortunately, now I need to resolve a situation where there is involved a multi-column foreign key.
CREATE TABLE parent_tab
(
col_a INTEGER NOT NULL,
col_b INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT pk PRIMARY KEY(col_a, col_b)
);
CREATE TABLE child_tab
(
col_x INTEGER NOT NULL,
col_y INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT fk FOREIGN KEY (col_x, col_y) REFERENCES parent_tab(col_a, col_b) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
This does not work, because the temporary table "deleted" might contain more than one row. How do I make sure that the values belong to the same row?
-- incorrect trigger, might delete too many rows
CREATE TRIGGER tr_single
ON parent_tab INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS BEGIN
DELETE FROM child_tab WHERE (child_tab.col_x IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted) AND child_tab.col_y IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted))
DELETE FROM parent_tab WHERE (parent_tab.col_a IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted) AND parent_tab.col_b IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted))
END;
-- some magic needed :-)
CREATE TRIGGER tr_single
ON parent_tab INSTEAD OF DELETE
AS BEGIN
DELETE FROM child_tab WHERE (child_tab.col_x IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted AS t1) AND child_tab.col_y IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted AS t2) AND row_id(t1) = row_id(t2))
DELETE FROM parent_tab WHERE (parent_tab.col_a IN (SELECT col_a FROM deleted AS t1) AND parent_tab.col_b IN (SELECT col_b FROM deleted AS t2) AND row_id(t1) = row_id(t2))
END;
I know the trigger definition above is ***... but I hope that it helps to make clear what I need.
Btw., I use SQL Server 2005.

Hello all.
First of all, I've been a reader of swynk.com for quite sometime now, and I'd like to say 'thank you' to everyone who contributes.
Today, I'm the town moron.. haha I'm having issues with column level constraints. I have a varchar(50) where I want to keep *,=,#,/, .. etc, OUT OF the value input. I don't want to strip them. I simply want for sql to throw an error if the insert contains those (and other characters). The only characters that I want in the column are A-Z and 0-9. However, it's not a set number of characters per insert. It always varies... There has to be an easier way to do this than creating a constraint for every possibilty... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Folks:I'm a little new to SQLServer, so please pardon my ignorance!I've found the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views for TABLES, COLUMNS, andTABLE_CONSTRAINTS. I'm looking for the views that will give me the list ofcolumns by constraint.For instance, if Table1 has a unique key called Table1_UK01, I can find thatunder INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS. But I also need to know thecolumns in that UK constraint. I've triedINFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE andINFORMATION_SCHEMA.KEY_COLUMN_USAGE, but the UK I have defined for this usertable doesn't seem to show up in either of those views.Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any sample queries would betremendously appreciated. I'm going to be using this meta-data toautomatically generate quite a bundle of stored procs that do updates basedon finding rows via unique keys...TIA,Dave

When I execute this script I get following error message:

As I understand according to documentation named constraints should be supported, however error message says opposite. I can rephrase SQL script by removing named constraint.

Hey guys maybe you can help me out, been trying to figure this one out all day at work. I know how to use columns in a table to calculate another column in that same table. But I need to do some math on columns from a totally seperate table. Here is my scenario
table 1 = stock table
table 2 = Purchase order table
in table 2 there are line items that have ordered quantities for parts that we have ordered
in table 1 under each part number is a field for "quantity on order"
I need to compute the "quantity on order" in table 1 by summing all of the quantities in table 2 where the partnumber = the partnumber from table 1
quantity on order (table 1) = sum of all quantities (table 2) where the part numbers match
so for part number 516 i have this
table 2
poNumber partNumber quantity
1 516 1
2 516 12
3 516 4
table 1
partNumber inStock onOrder
516 0 17(this is what i am trying to figure out how to compute)
any help on this qould be appreciated. I would like the database to automatically do this itself if at all possible.
Hi:
In a very busy SQL2000 enterprise edition server with 8GB memory and 6 cpus sp3, I could not install a update trigger, unless all the appl connections are dropped. For this 24 HR running svr, could do it.
then I try to run a query as follows:
if exists (select rfABC.* A
from rfABC inner join remoteSvr.XYZDB.dbo.vwIP L
on A.Address = L.address and
A.metro <> L.metro
begin
print ' ---- Yes metroID <> LAMetro, start job exec.... -----'
insert into tempCatchMetroIDGPRS
select rfABC.*, metro, getdate()
from rfABC inner join remoteSvr.XYZDB.dbo.vwIP L on rfABC.Address = L.address and rfABC.metro <> L.metro
update rfABC A
set A.metro = L.metro
from rfABC A inner join remoteSvr.XYZDB.dbo.vwIP L on A.Address = L.address and A.metro <> L.metro
end
else
begin
print ' ---- no metroID <> LAMetro, skip job exec.... -----'
end
------------------------------
this query hang there could not execute. When I took off the if ... else condition, it run with like 0 second. Wondered if a 'busy' (which updates the IP address continueously) could cause above issues...
thanks

I'm trying to update (increment)
Company.SumtotalLogons

I have a SQL Server database running on a local PC which will eventually be scaled up once everything is working.
The Database takes data from an Access database, then the SQL Server aggregates this data into several other tables.
I have used a trigger to run this in SQL Server, once a table in SQL Server is appended with a specific value.
I have tested the trigger to do a simple task, and this works.
I have tested the aggregation query which create 18 seperate tables as well. It takes around 25 minutes to run. These are huge tables
When I use Access to append the final value to start the SQL Server trigger it freezes and eventually times out. I assume this is because it is running the 25minute trigger, and Access has to wait until this is completed before it can proceed.
I was hoping it would trigger SQL Server to run the trigger, then Access could go off and do something else!
Need to parsing serverName and databaseName to run a dynamic query to get serverName and databaseName and employee_ID via a accountID parameter.
-----------------------------
declare @stringSQL varchar(200)
select @stringSQL=
'insert into temp1 select '+@AccountID+' accountID, employee_ID from ' + @serverName +'.dbo.'+@databaseName+'.tblEmployee where inactive=0'
print @stringSQL_GetUserName
exec (@stringSQL_GetUserName)
select * from temp1
------------------------------
above dynamic query works fine.
Howevery, this should be run only under insertion event. When I put it in a proc to run within the insertion trigger or put the whole sql statement within the trigger:
1. when ran at a MSDE server
MSDTC on server is unavailable.
2. when ran at a SQL2000 developer testing server with the distributed transaction coordinator on, the insertion a record in the isql/w hang there. Could not even to kill this query, and have to stop and restart the SQL server.
Then I just want to return the dynamic query result without 'insert into temp1 ', the result is still hang...
Is there a way to let the insert trigger to run a dyanamic query which linked to around 10 servers?
thanks

Hey,
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.

}
//Helper function that takes a Table of the Primary Key Column Names and the modified rows Values
//and builds a string of the form "<PKColumn1Name=Value1>,PKColumn2Name=Value2>,......"
public static string PKStringBuilder(DataTable primaryKeysTable, DataRow valuesDataRow)
{
string temp = String.Empty;
foreach (DataRow kColumn in primaryKeysTable.Rows)//for all Primary Keys of the Table that is being changed
{
temp = String.Concat(temp, String.Concat("<", kColumn[0].ToString(), "=", valuesDataRow[kColumn[0].ToString)].ToString(), ">,"));
}
return temp;
}
}
The trick was getting the Table Name and the Primary Key Columns.
I hope this code is found useful.
Comments and Suggestion will be much appreciated.

I want to be able to create a trigger that updates table 2 when a row is inserted into table 1. However I€™m not sure how to increment the ID in table 2 or to update only the row that has been inserted.
