newbie question about transactions

I'm thinking of using transactions but there's something I don't know.
Consider that kind of code:
BEGIN TRANS
INSERT ...
INSERT ...
UPDATE ...
DELETE ...
INSERT...
COMMIT
My question is:
do I have to write after *each* insert, update or delete
IF @.@.ERROR <> 0 BEGIN
ROLLBACK
RETURN
END
for my procedure to work well?
It's not a big deal if there are only 2 or 3 operations, but if there are
lots of them...
Can you tell me what the minimum code is for a procedure using transaction
to be valid?
Thanks
Henri
Hi
You have to check after each statement as the @.@.error variable gets reset
every time. In your example, you need the error handler 7 times, once after
each statement (you could get away with 6, excluding the BEGIN TRAN as you
should not error on that).
SQL Server 2005 brings structured exception handling, but until then, that
is the only way.

Newbie Question - Automatically update

Maybe my question is not at the right place but I'm totally new to this.

So I have the following scenario:

I have a DB with one table with five records. I create a cube on this. Based on the cube I have to show some KPIs. Everyday I have one more record in my table. If someone clicks on this site it has to show the current uptodate KPIs every day. How can I do this?

If I understand right I have to process the cubes manually to show the actual datas from the DB. Is there a way to automate this somehow?

thanks for any your help

Create an integration services package that processes the cube and then create a job with the Sql Server Agent that consists of running this package. Schedule the job to run once nightly. If you need more flexibility then integration services offers you you'll have to write your own .Net program with AMO and then schedule it similarly but normally this shouldn't be needed.|||

First, thanks for the quick answer it helped me a lot.

The only what I don't really know how to process the cube in the Integration services package. Could you please help me with this?

|||

SSIS has a Processing task - from memory it looks like a little cube - which you can drag onto your control flow. You then set which objects you want to process.

Another option may be proactive caching - it depends on your structures and what sort of transformations you are doing to your data. In a way it allows you to configure your cubes to process themselves.

see: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/rtbissas.mspx

|||

Thanks Guys it helped me a lot.

Is there a way to run this from the site? I mean If the user would like to refresh the datas click on a button and it processes the cube and refreshes the data.

|||

I'm assuming you'll have to write some code yourself - either to run the package or agent job programmatically which seems to be described here (though I haven't tested it myself):

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403355.aspx

Alternatively you bypass the package entirely and writes a program in AMO that works directly at Analysis Services and processes the cube. AMO is described here:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345092.aspx

Newbie Question

Hi,
I try to update SP3a to our SQL2000, but it stopped at script
80sp3-tools.sql, after some of research I think is the msdb database
table 'RTblClassExtension' and stored procedure
'r_iRTblClassExtension' objects were no longer owned by 'dbo'
I am not MSDBA, so have no ideas on how to set those object to 'dbo'
can some one give me a step by step on how to fix this issue?
TIAHi,
use msdb
go
sp_changeobjectowner 'current_owner.RTblClassExtension',dbo
go
sp_changeobjectowner 'current_owner.r_iRTblClassExtension',dbo
Replace the current_owner with the current object owner.
Thanks

Newbie Q: Executing StoredProc?

hi all,
i just wonder if below storedproc will update record correctly if executed
concurrently by multiple user using
varying parameter value or it containe logic error.
CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateQTY @.QTY int
AS
UPDATE PRODUCT SET Quantity = Quantity + @.QTY
GO
Hi,
The Syntax of the Storeprocedure (SP) shows that it would update all the
records in the Product table.
Is this what you want to achieve ?
If not, then add a where clause in the Update statement, where it would
contain one or more columns, that would together select a distinct row.
for example
CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateQTY @.QTY int,@.ProductID int
AS
UPDATE PRODUCT SET Quantity = Quantity + @.QTY
where productid = @.productid
GO
The above example would find a row with the matching Productid and update
the Qty field for it.

|||Hi,
I missed one point in your question.
There will be no problems if multiple users call the SP simultaneously to
update the Product Table.
One more thing, is your QTY as integer or a numeric column. If it requires
to store decimal, then setting the parameter as int would make it to loose
its accuracy. So just make sure that the datatype of QTY matches that in
the table definition.

newbie needs dataset-sqltable update code

I have dataadapter and dataset that reads/writes to SQL tables.
I can read. I can create "new" records.
However, I have not been able to master the "updating" of an existing row.
Can someone provide me specific code for doing this please or tell me what I doing wrong in the code below.
The code I using is below. I don't get error, but changes do not get written to SQL dbase.
For starters, I think I "not" supposed to use the 2nd line(...NewRow). I think this is only for new row, not updating of existing row - but I don't know any other way to get schema of row.
thanks to any who can help

Dim drow As DataRow
drow = Me.dsRequests1.Tables("REQUESTS").NewRow
drow.BeginEdit()
drow.Item("Request_Name") = Me.txtRequestName.Text
drow.Item("Request_Comments_Txt") = Me.txtRequestComments.Text
drow.Item("Requestor_Contact_Id") = Me.txtRequestor.Text
drow.Item("Request_BigX_Status_Type_Cd") = Me.ddlBigXStatus
drow.Item("Request_Action_Type_Cd") = Me.ddlRequestActionRequested.SelectedItem.Text
drow.EndEdit()
Me.DaREQUESTS.Update(Me.dsRequests1.Tables("REQUESTS"))
Me.dsRequests1.AcceptChanges()You're right
NewRow is only for new rows,
To update an existing row you should find the row in your dataset/datatable - using your table's primary key and find method or by index - change it's values , and update your dataset/datatable
Something like this (if you're using a typed dataset)

Dim drow as DataRow = dsRequests.Requests.findbyprimarykey(myParimaryKeyValue)
drow.property = newValue
daRequests.update(myTable)

Newbie Howto:Import, update, delete legacy data to SQLServer db

Hi,
I have a SQL db which I need to update weekly with data from a legacy
db but only where the legacy data has changed. The reason for this is
I have to add a couple of fields to the SQL db and they need to remain
linked to thier respective records.
I'd need to delete from the SQLdb any records absent in the legacy db
but presant in the SQL db, insert any records presant in the legacy db
but absent from the SQLdb and update any records in the SQLdb that
have changed in the legacy db.
Can anyone give me an idea on how an SQL statement to do this would
look. Or any other way of doing this?
Thanks in advance[posted and mailed, please reply in news]

newbie having trouble with SQL connection, insert/update

Thanks to anyone who helps!
I'm building a data entry windows form that requires the data to
be sent to a SQL Server table (the table's name is "Local") when the
form's "SAVE" button is clicked. I've built the form using the windows
form designer, and now I'm attempting to use SQL statements to
insert/update data into the table. There are six fields that will use
SQL statements to send data to the Local table, and none of the fields
are permitted to be null values. Two of the fields are comboboxes that
are populated through the use of their own respective datasets
(DisasterType and Dwelling); the datasets were built using the forms
designer OLEdbDataAdapter. Three fields are textboxes(FamilyName,
WorkerName, and DamageDescGeneral) that require the user to manually
enter data. Finally, there is a checkbox (Utilities) that should be
checked if the parameter is "yes/true."
My main problem is that I don't know the correct SQL code that
will allow
the data to be inserted/updated into the Local table. Or, can the
issue be solved using the forms designer? There are also two other
issues.
1. The datatypes of the "Disaster Type" and "Dwelling" fields have to
be changed before being sent to the Local table. I am using the more
user-readable names and descriptions of the respective fields to
populate the form, rather than their Primary Key ID's. However, their
Primary Keys are also Foreign Keys in the Local table, so their
datatypes have to be changed. You'll see this attempted conversion in
the "//convert Disaster_Type to Disaster_ID" and "//convert
Dwelling_Desc to Dwelling_Type" statements. The compiler doesn't
recognize the While statement I'm using. Here is the error: Cannot
find method 'While(boolean)' in 'ArcMaster.frmLocal'
2. The datatype for the Utilities column in the Local table is a bit
value, but the datatype on the windows form is a boolean checkbox. I
need to be able to convert from boolean to bit through the use of an If
statement, but I keep getting errors. Here are my compile errors under

You insert statement does not have a closing bracket, you also seem to be
making values strings by enquoting them when they are not character data
types. You could form the sql string differently depending on whether
utility is true or not.

newbie having trouble with SQL connection, insert/update

Thanks to anyone who helps!
I'm building a data entry windows form that requires the data to
be sent to a SQL Server table (the table's name is "Local") when the
form's "SAVE" button is clicked. I've built the form using the windows
form designer, and now I'm attempting to use SQL statements to
insert/update data into the table. There are six fields that will use
SQL statements to send data to the Local table, and none of the fields
are permitted to be null values. Two of the fields are comboboxes that
are populated through the use of their own respective datasets
(DisasterType and Dwelling); the datasets were built using the forms
designer OLEdbDataAdapter. Three fields are textboxes(FamilyName,
WorkerName, and DamageDescGeneral) that require the user to manually
enter data. Finally, there is a checkbox (Utilities) that should be
checked if the parameter is "yes/true."
My main problem is that I don't know the correct SQL code that
will allow
the data to be inserted/updated into the Local table. Or, can the
issue be solved using the forms designer? There are also two other
issues.
1. The datatypes of the "Disaster Type" and "Dwelling" fields have to
be changed before being sent to the Local table. I am using the more
user-readable names and descriptions of the respective fields to
populate the form, rather than their Primary Key ID's. However, their
Primary Keys are also Foreign Keys in the Local table, so their
datatypes have to be changed. You'll see this attempted conversion in
the "//convert Disaster_Type to Disaster_ID" and "//convert
Dwelling_Desc to Dwelling_Type" statements. The compiler doesn't
recognize the While statement I'm using. Here is the error: Cannot
find method 'While(boolean)' in 'ArcMaster.frmLocal'
2. The datatype for the Utilities column in the Local table is a bit
value, but the datatype on the windows form is a boolean checkbox. I
need to be able to convert from boolean to bit through the use of an If
statement, but I keep getting errors. Here are my compile errors under
the current configuration:
Type 'boolean' is not assignable to 'Object'
Type 'int' is not assignable to 'Object'
I've included my code. I KNOW it's wrong, and I'm hoping
someone can
assist me. Thanks again!!!

newbie having trouble w/ insert/update statments

Thanks to anyone who helps!
I'm building a data entry windows form that requires the data to
be sent to a SQL Server table (the table's name is "Local") when the
form's "SAVE" button is clicked. I've built the form using the windows
form designer, and now I'm attempting to use SQL statements to
insert/update data into the table. There are six fields that will use
SQL statements to send data to the Local table, and none of the fields
are permitted to be null values. Two of the fields are comboboxes that
are populated through the use of their own respective datasets
(DisasterType and Dwelling); the datasets were built using the forms
designer OLEdbDataAdapter. Three fields are textboxes(FamilyName,
WorkerName, and DamageDescGeneral) that require the user to manually
enter data. Finally, there is a checkbox (Utilities) that should be
checked if the parameter is "yes/true."
My main problem is that I don't know the correct SQL code that
will allow
the data to be inserted/updated into the Local table. Or, can the
issue be solved using the forms designer? There are also two other
issues.
1. The datatypes of the "Disaster Type" and "Dwelling" fields have to
be changed before being sent to the Local table. I am using the more
user-readable names and descriptions of the respective fields to
populate the form, rather than their Primary Key ID's. However, their
Primary Keys are also Foreign Keys in the Local table, so their
datatypes have to be changed. You'll see this attempted conversion in
the "//convert Disaster_Type to Disaster_ID" and "//convert
Dwelling_Desc to Dwelling_Type" statements. The compiler doesn't
recognize the While statement I'm using. Here is the error: Cannot
find method 'While(boolean)' in 'ArcMaster.frmLocal'
2. The datatype for the Utilities column in the Local table is a bit
value, but the datatype on the windows form is a boolean checkbox. I
need to be able to convert from boolean to bit through the use of an If
statement, but I keep getting errors. Here are my compile errors under
the current configuration:
Type 'boolean' is not assignable to 'Object'
Type 'int' is not assignable to 'Object'
I've included my code. I KNOW it's wrong, and I'm hoping
someone can
assist me. Thanks again!!!

Rather than build a SQL statement string by concatenating the values, I
suggest you always use parameters. This is more secure and simplifies your
code since you don't need to format data, escape quotes or enclose values.
For Example:
sql = "INSERT INTO Local" +
" (" +
" Local_rowguid, " +
" ARC_Worker, " +
" Description, " +
" Disaster_ID, " +
" Dwelling_Type, " +
" Family_Name, " +
" Utilities)" +
" VALUES" +
" (" +
" @.Local_rowguid, " +
" @.ARC_Worker, " +
" @.Description, " +
" @.Disaster_ID, " +
" @.Dwelling_Type, " +
" @.Family_Name, " +
" @.Utilities" +
" )";
SqlCommand insertCommand =
new SqlCommand(sql, cn);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.Local_rowguid, Guid.NewGuid());
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.FamilyName, FamilyName);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.Dwelling, Dwelling);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.DisasterType, DisasterType);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.WorkerName, WorkerName);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.DamageDescGeneral, DamageDescGeneral);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.DamageDescGeneral, Utilities);
Note that SqlCommandBuilder will generate parameterized INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
SQL commands for the DataAdapter so you don't need to code those yourself.
You could use NEWID() to assign the Local_rowguid value (instead of
Guid.NewGuid()) and omit that parameter but my personal preference is to
supply the Guid value on the client side with single-row inserts. This way,
the value is known by your app so you don't retrieve the assigned value.

> Or, can the issue be solved using the forms designer?
It's unclear how you intend your app to work because the code is incomplete
are using a variety of data access techniques. Since you are a newbie, I
suspect you're just learning how to use these classes.
The DataAdapter Update method will execute all the necessary
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands depending on the changes made
to the DataSet. In order to use Update, the dataset needs to contain both
before and after data images.
Normally, one uses the Fill method to load existing data into the dataset.
Your
application can then manipulate data in the dataset (adding rows,
changing values, deleting rows), This can be done manually or by binding
controls /datasets. Finally, the DataSet Update method is called to save
changes
to the database.
The 'Local' table dataset should probably be a member variable rather than a
local
variable if you want to use DataSet Update within your save method.
Otherwise,
your save method can be used only to insert new data.

I expect that these are just a few of many compile errors because your code
is a mix of VB, C# and Java.
Assuming you are using C#, that language is case-sensitive. Specify 'while'
instead of 'While' and ditch the semi-colon after the predicate. For
example:
while(reader.Read())
{
Dwelling = reader.GetValue(0);
}
C# is a strongly-typed language so you should specify the proper types when
possible and convert explicitly. To access property values, don't call the
accessor method directly; specify only the property name.
string FamilyName = txtFamilyName.Text;
string Dwelling = (string)cboDwellingType.SelectedItem;
string DisasterType = (string)cboDisasterType.SelectedItem;
string WorkerName = txtWorkerName.Text;
string DamageDescGeneral = txtDamageDescGeneral.Text;
bool Utilities = chkUtilities.Checked;
The above example also shows how to avoid selecting the Dwelling and
DisasterType values from the database again. It looks like you've already
loaded those datasets in your init code. With typed datasets, all you need
to do is set the combobox DisplayMember and ValueMember ti the desired
properties and so that SelectedItem returns the selected value.

> import System.Drawing.*;
Specify 'using' instead of 'import' for namespace references:
using System.Drawing;
Hope this helps.

newbie having trouble w/ insert/update statments

Thanks to anyone who helps!
I'm building a data entry windows form that requires the data to
be sent to a SQL Server table (the table's name is "Local") when the
form's "SAVE" button is clicked. I've built the form using the windows
form designer, and now I'm attempting to use SQL statements to
insert/update data into the table. There are six fields that will use
SQL statements to send data to the Local table, and none of the fields
are permitted to be null values. Two of the fields are comboboxes that
are populated through the use of their own respective datasets
(DisasterType and Dwelling); the datasets were built using the forms
designer OLEdbDataAdapter. Three fields are textboxes(FamilyName,
WorkerName, and DamageDescGeneral) that require the user to manually
enter data. Finally, there is a checkbox (Utilities) that should be
checked if the parameter is "yes/true."
My main problem is that I don't know the correct SQL code that
will allow
the data to be inserted/updated into the Local table. Or, can the
issue be solved using the forms designer? There are also two other
issues.
1. The datatypes of the "Disaster Type" and "Dwelling" fields have to
be changed before being sent to the Local table. I am using the more
user-readable names and descriptions of the respective fields to
populate the form, rather than their Primary Key ID's. However, their
Primary Keys are also Foreign Keys in the Local table, so their
datatypes have to be changed. You'll see this attempted conversion in
the "//convert Disaster_Type to Disaster_ID" and "//convert
Dwelling_Desc to Dwelling_Type" statements. The compiler doesn't
recognize the While statement I'm using. Here is the error: Cannot
find method 'While(boolean)' in 'ArcMaster.frmLocal'
2. The datatype for the Utilities column in the Local table is a bit
value, but the datatype on the windows form is a boolean checkbox. I
need to be able to convert from boolean to bit through the use of an If
statement, but I keep getting errors. Here are my compile errors under

Rather than build a SQL statement string by concatenating the values, I
suggest you always use parameters. This is more secure and simplifies your
code since you don't need to format data, escape quotes or enclose values.
For Example:
sql = "INSERT INTO Local" +
" (" +
" Local_rowguid, " +
" ARC_Worker, " +
" Description, " +
" Disaster_ID, " +
" Dwelling_Type, " +
" Family_Name, " +
" Utilities)" +
" VALUES" +
" (" +
" @.Local_rowguid, " +
" @.ARC_Worker, " +
" @.Description, " +
" @.Disaster_ID, " +
" @.Dwelling_Type, " +
" @.Family_Name, " +
" @.Utilities" +
" )";
SqlCommand insertCommand = new SqlCommand(sql, cn);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.Local_rowguid, Guid.NewGuid());
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.FamilyName, FamilyName);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.Dwelling, Dwelling);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.DisasterType, DisasterType);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.WorkerName, WorkerName);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.DamageDescGeneral, DamageDescGeneral);
insertCommand.Parameters.Add(@.DamageDescGeneral, Utilities);
Note that SqlCommandBuilder will generate parameterized INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
SQL commands for the DataAdapter so you don't need to code those yourself.
You could use NEWID() to assign the Local_rowguid value (instead of
Guid.NewGuid()) and omit that parameter but my personal preference is to
supply the Guid value on the client side with single-row inserts. This way,
the value is known by your app so you don't retrieve the assigned value.
> Or, can the issue be solved using the forms designer?
It's unclear how you intend your app to work because the code is incomplete
are using a variety of data access techniques. Since you are a newbie, I
suspect you're just learning how to use these classes.
The DataAdapter Update method will execute all the necessary
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands depending on the changes made
to the DataSet. In order to use Update, the dataset needs to contain both
before and after data images.
Normally, one uses the Fill method to load existing data into the dataset.
Your
application can then manipulate data in the dataset (adding rows,
changing values, deleting rows), This can be done manually or by binding
controls /datasets. Finally, the DataSet Update method is called to save
changes
to the database.
The 'Local' table dataset should probably be a member variable rather than a
local
variable if you want to use DataSet Update within your save method.
Otherwise,
your save method can be used only to insert new data.

I expect that these are just a few of many compile errors because your code
is a mix of VB, C# and Java.
Assuming you are using C#, that language is case-sensitive. Specify 'while'
instead of 'While' and ditch the semi-colon after the predicate. For
example:
while(reader.Read())
{
Dwelling = reader.GetValue(0);
}
C# is a strongly-typed language so you should specify the proper types when
possible and convert explicitly. To access property values, don't call the
accessor method directly; specify only the property name.
string FamilyName = txtFamilyName.Text;
string Dwelling = (string)cboDwellingType.SelectedItem;
string DisasterType = (string)cboDisasterType.SelectedItem;
string WorkerName = txtWorkerName.Text;
string DamageDescGeneral = txtDamageDescGeneral.Text;
bool Utilities = chkUtilities.Checked;
The above example also shows how to avoid selecting the Dwelling and
DisasterType values from the database again. It looks like you've already
loaded those datasets in your init code. With typed datasets, all you need
to do is set the combobox DisplayMember and ValueMember ti the desired
properties and so that SelectedItem returns the selected value.

Specify 'using' instead of 'import' for namespace references:
using System.Drawing;

Hope this helps.
