Why modification not taking - sql

Here i'm Using Sql Server And i create two tables Like
Cutst
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AuditTab](
[LastUpdate] [datetime] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Id CustName
1 John
AuditTab
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TblCust](
[Id] [int] NULL,
[Name] [varchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
LastUpdate (Datetime)--
//Here its takes date
I wrote simple trigger function in Cust
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[lmnTrigger]
ON [dbo].[TblCust]
AFTER INSERT,DELETE,UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
Insert into [dbo].[AuditTab]([LastUpdate]) values(GETDATE())
END
When I update cust column John-To Joe it is throwing an error

Lack of primary key on the table can cause an issue, try to add PK to the table and test it again.
ALTER TABLE TblCust
ADD CONSTRAINT pk_TblCust PRIMARY KEY (Id)
Other possibility is that data has been truncated, but seems like your columns size is correct.
Is any chance you can provide full error message?

SQL Server trigger not acting as expected

I have these two tables:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test_Table1]
(
[id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[f_id] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Test_Table2_Tbl]
(
[f_id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[text] [varchar](500) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
And a trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[trg_Test_Trigger_Delete]
ON [dbo].[Test_Table2_Tbl]
AFTER DELETE
AS
INSERT INTO Test_Table2_Tbl (text)
(SELECT id FROM deleted)
UPDATE Test_Table1_Tbl
SET f_id = NULL
WHERE f_id IN (SELECT id FROM deleted)
GO
The keen observer will realize that 'id' does not exist in 'deleted'.
SQL catches that error in the INSERT, but without the INSERT it will let you add the trigger without any complaints.
Why doesn't it catch that error? (Invalid column name 'id'.)
My second question is, why does the UPDATE statement update EVERY column to NULL when id is not found in deleted?
I'm just very confused and need so clarity on why every record matches that WHERE clause.
Your error in the UPDATE is because the query is treated as a correlated subquery:
UPDATE Test_Table1_Tbl
SET f_id = NULL
WHERE Test_Table1_Tbl.f_id IN (SELECT Test_Table1_Tbl.id FROM deleted d);
id doesn't resolve in deleted, so SQL looks out at the next level.
These are the scoping rules for subqueries. That is why you should always use qualified table names when you have subqueries:
UPDATE Test_Table1_Tbl
SET f_id = NULL
WHERE Test_Table1_Tbl.f_id IN (SELECT d.id FROM deleted d);

Insert using stored procedure

I want to insert a record into multiple tables at single time using a stored procedure. But if it already exists, that record could not be inserted. How can it? I need help. I have link between the tables.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblrole]
(
[roleid] [INT] IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL,
[rolename] [VARCHAR](50) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([roleid] ASC)
)
It's normal that you cannot insert a duplicate record if you have a unique primary key.
You have been talking about multiple tables, but you've schown us just one table definition.
I I've understood well your problem, you would something like this:
create proc insert_data
-- params are coming here
as
if not exists(select 1 from your_target_table1 where column = #condition)
-- your insert comes here
else
-- do nothing or log en error in an error table or do an update
if not exists(select 1 from your_target_table2 where column = #condition)
-- your insert comes here
else
-- do nothing or log en error in an error table or do an update
-- and soon

Insert only modified values and column names into a table

I have a sql server 2012 database. In which i have a changeLog table that contains
TableName, ColumnName, FromValue and ToValue columns. Which will be used to keep track of modified columns and data.
So if any update occur through application then only modified columns should insert into this table with its new and old value.
Can anyone help me in this.
For Example:
If the procedure updates all columns of property table (propertyName, address)
then if user update propertyName (but update also contains address column but with no data change) then only propertyName and its data will be inserted into ChangeLog table not address column and its data because address data does not contains any data change.
IF there is no other auditing requirement at all - you would not be thinking about Auditing in any way without this - then OK, go for it. However this is a very limited use of Auditing: User X changed this field at time Y. Generally this is interesting as part of a wider question: what did user X do? What happened to that customer data in the database to end up the way it is now?
Questions like that are harder to answer if you have the data structure you propose and would be quite onerous to reconstruct. My usual approach would be as follows. Starting from a base table like so (this from one of my current projects):
CREATE TABLE [de].[Generation](
[Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[LocalTime] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[EntityId] [int] NOT NULL,
[Generation] [decimal](18, 4) NOT NULL,
[UpdatedAt] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Generation_UpdatedAt] DEFAULT (getdate()),
CONSTRAINT [PK_Generation] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[Id] ASC
)
(I've excluded FK definitions as they aren't relevant here.)
First create an Audit table for this table:
CREATE TABLE [de].[GenerationAudit](
[AuditId] int identity(1, 1) not null,
[Id] [int] NOT NULL,
[LocalTimeOld] [datetime] NULL,
[EntityIdOld] [int] NULL,
[GenerationOld] [decimal](18, 4) null,
[UpdatedAtOld] [datetime] null,
[LocalTimeNew] [datetime] null,
[EntityIdNew] [int] null,
[GenerationNew] [decimal](18, 4) null,
[UpdatedAtNew] [datetime] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_GenerationAudit_UpdatedAt] DEFAULT (getdate()),
[UpdatedBy] varchar(60) not null
CONSTRAINT [PK_GenerationAudit] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[AuditId] ASC
)
This table has an *Old and a *New version of each column that can't change. The Id, being an IDENTITY PK, can't change so no need for an old/new. I've also added an UpdatedBy column. It also has a new AuditId IDENTITY PK.
Next create three triggers on the base table: one for INSERT, one for UPDATE and one for DELETE. In the Insert trigger, insert a row into the Audit table with the New columns selected from the inserted table and the Old values as null. In the UPDATE one, the Oldvalues come from the deleted and the new from the inserted. In the DELETE trigger, old from from deleted and the new are all null.
The UPDATE trigger would look like this:
CREATE TRIGGER GenerationAuditUpdate
ON de.Generation
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
insert into de.GenerationAudit (Id, LocalTimeOld, EntityIdOld, GenerationOld, UpdatedAtOld,
LocalTimeNew, EntityIdNew, GenerationNew, UpdatedAtNew,
UpdatedBy)
select isnull(i.Id, d.Id), d.LocalTime, d.EntityId, d.Generation, d.UpdatedAt,
i.LocalTime, i.EntityId, d.Generation, getdate(),
SYSTEM_USER)
from inserted i
full outer join deleted d on d.Id = i.Id;
END
GO
You then have a full before/after picture of each change (and it'll be faster than seperating out diffs column by column). You can create views over the Audit table to get entries where the Old value is different to the new, and include the base table Id (which you will also need in your structures!), the user who did it, and the time they did it (UpdatedAtNew).
That's my version of Auditing and it's mine!

Triggering a timestamp update

For every INSERT, how do I populate my DateStamp field with the current datetime?
I've created an error output table for my SSIS task:
Here's the table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[gbs_CRMErrorOutput](
[ID] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[ErrorCode] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
[ErrorColumn] [nvarchar](500) NULL,
[CrmErrorMessage] [nvarchar](max) NULL,
[targetid] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[subordinateid] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[DateStamp] [datetime] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
Please note that I do not have an auto-increment or any key in the table.
I'm also wondering what would be a best practice for this?
Here is an example of using not null with a default. In your real table you may want to name your default constraint. If you define the constraint inline like this it will still be named but it will be automatically assigned.
CREATE TABLE #MyTable
(
MyID INT IDENTITY NOT NULL,
SomeValue VARCHAR(10),
DateCreated DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT GETDATE()
)
INSERT #MyTable(SomeValue)
VALUES ('Value1')
--This next line just waits for 1 second.
--This will demonstrate multiple inserts at different times so you can the values change
WAITFOR DELAY '00:0:01'
INSERT #MyTable(SomeValue)
VALUES ('Value2')
SELECT *
FROM #MyTable
DROP TABLE #MyTable
Two good options:
1) Create a DEFAULT CONSTRAINT on your table with GETDATE() specified for your column (good example here). Within SSIS, do not map any value to that column - leave it as Ignore. Make sure that Keep Nulls is not checked. Note that you might have to fiddle with the settings of your OLE DB Destination - uncheck Identity Insert if there's a problem. I've also seen cases where the column had to allow NULLs - that only affects certain scenarios.
2) Add a Derived Column transformation to your data flow, setting it up to add a new column to the flow. I usually use the System::StartTime variable here, so that all records inserted during a single ETL run will share the same inserted date, but you could just as easily use the SSIS function GETDATE().
Map the new column you just created to your OLE DB Destination.

How to update 2nd table with identity value of inserted rows into 1st table

I have the following table structures
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[WorkItem](
[WorkItemId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[WorkItemTypeId] [int] NOT NULL,
[ActionDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,
[WorkItemStatusId] [int] NOT NULL,
[ClosedDate] [datetime] NULL,
)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[RequirementWorkItem](
[WorkItemId] [int] NOT NULL,
[RequirementId] [int] NOT NULL,
)
CREATE TABLE #RequirmentWorkItems
(
RequirementId int,
WorkItemTypeId int,
WorkItemStatusId int,
ActionDate datetime
)
I use the #RequirmentWorkItems table to create workitems for requirements. I then need to INSERT the workitems into the WorkItem table and use the identity values from the WorkItem table to create the cross-reference rows in the RequirementWorkItem table.
Is there a way to do this without cursoring thru each row? And I can't put the RequirementId into the WorkItem table because depending on the WorkItemTypeId the WorkItem could be linked to a Requirement or a Notice or an Event.
So there are really 3 xref tables for WorkItems. Or would it be better to put a RequirementId, NoticeId and EventId in the WorkItem table and 1 of the columns would have a value and other 2 would be null? Hopefully all this makes sense. Thanks.
You should read MERGE and OUTPUT – the swiss army knife of T-SQL for more information about this.
Today I stumbled upon a different use for it, returning values using an OUTPUT clause from a table used as the source of data for an insertion. In other words, if I’m inserting from [tableA] into [tableB] then I may want some values from [tableA] after the fact, particularly if [tableB] has an identity. Observe my first attempt using a straight insertion where I am trying to get a field from #source.[id] that is not used in the insertion:
