I am trying to update a row, which is being pulled from another table.
i.e., I have two tables T1 and T2
I am getting a row from T2 and inserting it in T1 then I am updating that row in T1
What i want is if in case these is an error while updating this row I want to remove the row from T1 T1 and T2 are same.
declare @err1 int
--BEGIN TRANSACTION
INSERT INTO dbo.T1 SELECT * FROM dbo.T2 WHERE UpdateFlag = 'Y' AND ID = '12345'
BEGIN TRY
UPDATE dbo.T1 set ReportDate= '9910-12-2006'
SET @Err1 = @@error
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
insert into errorlog values (error_message())
END CATCH
--if @err1<>0
--begin
--Rollback transaction
--end
This work fine but I am not able to roll back the transaction
When I activate the codes fro roll back, it not performing the Logging operation in CATCH also terminating
REQUIREMENT
1) Get the record in T1 from T2 2) Update the record in T1 3) IF step:3 good commit it, else remove the only the row which was pulled from T2. It must do this also log in dbo.ErrorLog the errored system message error_message()
I have a table with 1 million records. I want to update only 400 records. The update statement is provided by a 3rd party vendor. Once i run the update statement it will update all the 400 records. Once the table is updated the users will validate the table
if the update is successful or not. What i'm looking for is:
1) Is there a way to identify what records were updated. 2) If the update done is not what the users wanted i need to undo and bring back the 400 records to their previous values.
If I have a table with 1 or more Nullable fields and I want to make sure that when an INSERT or UPDATE occurs and one or more of these fields are left to NULL either explicitly or implicitly is there I can set these to non-null values without interfering with the INSERT or UPDATE in as far as the other fields in the table?
EXAMPLE:
CREATE TABLE dbo.MYTABLE( ID NUMERIC(18,0) IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, FirstName VARCHAR(50) NULL, LastName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
[Code] ....
If an INSERT looks like any of the following what can I do to change the NULL being assigned to DateAdded to a real date, preferable the value of GetDate() at the time of the insert? I've heard of INSTEAD of Triggers but I'm not trying tto over rise the entire INSERT or update just the on (maybe 2) fields that are being left as null or explicitly set to null. The same would apply for any UPDATE where DateModified is not specified or explicitly set to NULL. I would want to change it so that DateModified is not null on any UPDATE.
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) VALUES('John','Smith',NULL)
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName) VALUES('John','Smith')
INSERT INTO dbo.MYTABLE( FirstName, LastName, DateAdded) SELECT FirstName, LastName, NULL FROM MYOTHERTABLE

Hi. I'm not such an expert in sql and I wanted to update a table's fields only if the value that im going to update it with is not null. How do I do that?
Is there anyway in SQL Server to rollback an SQL statement which wasalready executed. I know there is a transaction log but what itcontains and how it works is still a mystery to me.Assuming I delete all records from a table - can I somehow undo this?

Hello,Somebody accidently deleted a record with cascade deletesand took out about 80 records.The database has been used heavily since then.How do I put back the data?I have spent hours researching BOL and all I can findis how to restore the database to a point in time.But that will lose all the work done after the mistake.(We do a full backup every week and log backup every day)Is there a standard way to do this?Morgan
I was working in the SSIS designer and when I found that the DataFlow task I deleted was indeed something I needed, I tried to Undo the operation but Alas the option is not enabled :(
I often run queries in Query analyzer. Today I accidentaly deleted some data from a table. Is their a way to undo the last SQL command executed?I have heard of the rollback command, but I don't know if that is applicable or not?
USE [master] RESTORE DATABASE [EmployeeRecovered] FROM DISK = N'D:BackupsNormalEmployeeFULL.BAK' WITH FILE = 1, MOVE N'Employee' TO N'D:MSSQLDATAEmployeeRecovered1.mdf', MOVE N'Employee_log' TO N'D:MSSQLLOGEmployeeRecovered1_log.ldf', NOUNLOAD, STATS = 5, NORECOVERY

currently i m developing a web application with using sql server 2005 and i was testing yesterday a sql update query with sql server management studio. in my update query i forgot to put where condition and now all the rows of table are updated. is there any solution to undo this and retrieve all rows back? Regards Selena
I am in a process of designing a web application (ASP.NET) which is mostly data driven. The application needs to provide an undo functionality to users for eg. Undo an Add, Update or Delete that has been already committed to the database.
We are using SQL Server 2005 at back end. What I need to know is how will I enable this feature at database level. I am sure we might have to play with triggers but that too might not help in achieving the UNDO functionality. If anyone can shed light on how to achieve this, it will be quite helpful. Thanks
1. A few months ago, I received a request to deny delete to a group (Windows AD login) against 3 databases. So I issued a DENY DELETE to the relevant Windows login.
2. Now, someone is having trouble updating data. The issue seems to be that a trigger fires during the update. In the trigger the code tries to delete from a table in the previously delete-denied databases. So the update fails.
-- In retrospect, perhaps I should have used REVOKE - not sure
-- Also, I can't seem to find a listing of the DENY permissions - or rather, how to list what permissions are denied. I guess maybe that is a hard thing to do if the result of a DENY is to leave certain permission columns NULL (vs adding 'DENY'). But it would be useful for me to see what the current permission state is.
-- Finally, I tried to undo the DENY without success. Here is my attempt.
a. I tried GRANT DELETE... - no luck b. Then I saw an article explaining to use REVOKE, so I tried 'REVOKE DELETE' followed by 'GRANT DELETE' - still no luck.
Hello, I have a field in a table that I have to update to the number of the week. Information i use is from another field, which is text in the format like :
01022005 02142005 07082005 11222005 ... 12022005
mmddyyyy.
How to write an update to update empty field with a number of the week based on the value from another field.
if a db field "mynum" of type int contains for example the number 543.Is there a way I can update this field without first selecting the value?so for example set the the current value to +1
in sql server I want to update the "UpdatedDate" field automatically when I change ANY other field in that specific record.it has to be set to the current server time.
I am trying to update a field in a temptable with the count of items in another table. To illustrate, CustomerID=23 and I want the number of occurences in the temp table. Here's the code which DOESN'T work:
INSERT INTO TempTable ( CustomerID, FirstName, LastName, DateAdded, AlbumPicture, LayoutCount ) SELECT Albums.CustomerID, Customers.FirstName, Customers.LastName, DateAdded, AlbumPicture, COUNT(*) FROM Layouts WHERE Layout.customerID = Albums.CustomerID FROM Albums JOIN Customers on (Albums.CustomerID=Customers.CustomerID)
Please take a look at the COUNT line. Here I want to count the occurences of a specific customerid in another table and put in into th LayoutCount field.
SQL server reports "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'FROM'". Any ideas how to achieve this?
I am updating three fields (defined as decimal(18,4) NULL) in a 1.7 million record table to 0. This table is also very wide (meaning lot of columns). A simple query like this -
Hi, I'm trying to use the Update command to change a field value. I only know the field name at run-time, how do you write this command. This is what I have done which just sets the variable @cFieldName to the value and not the field within the table.
UPDATE [Atable] SET @cFieldName = @aValue WHERE ([Id] = @Id_1)
