In my application when a record is updated for the flights in an itinerary they original flights are first moved to a history table for reporting purposes. What I am wanting to know is how would I use something like a timestamp of when they were moved to the history table, that way when reporting they can see exactly when the flights were last moved/modified/updated in the history table. Since there could possibly be 20 flights for a single record (since the flights can be updated multiple times before the itinerary is flown) simply updating the last_update field for a given record locator wont work as it will update ALL records, when I only want to update the ones currently being moved to the history table. We are using SQL 2000 and I'm not finding much online for using a timestamp feature.

Why not set a date stamp with GETDATE() on insert to the Audit table?
Or is that not what you are looking for?

Hi.
I want to insert a record in a table and then get it's ID(which is an autonumber field) to use it as a reference in another table. What is the best approach?
Thanks.

What is the database?

It can be either Access, MySql or SQL Server. The only thing that changes to select the database engine is the connection string. Therefor I don't want to do any programming at the database side(like stored procedures).
The trivial solution is to do insert and after select the max value of the id, hoping that nothing was inserted in between the two operations.
Other than that I don't see other options, I'm afraid. Can you?

Since SQL is implemented slightly differently on each database you'll need to do more than just change the connection string. And you are already doing "programming at the database side" by just sending a SQL command through.
The way you are using now actually implies a gaping security hole as parameters are implemented differently in each langage. If you inject values in to SQL you are opening yourself up for a SQL Injection Attack. You should read SQL Injection Attacks and Tips on How to Prevent Them[^]
If you design your DAL (Data Abstraction Layer) well you can take advantage of the Strategy pattern and have one common interface to your application, but the actual concrete class will know exactly how to communicate most efficiently with the chosen database. This is the design you should be aiming for for the type of application you've described.

Well, that is risky. The other thing is to SELECT the most recent row with all the information you just inserted.
SELECT Id, Column1, Column2, Column3, Etc
FROM MyTable
WHERE Column1 = @column1
AND Column2 = @Column2
AND Column3 = @Column3
ORDER BY Id DESC
But, as you can see, it requires parameters, which are, as I've mention, defined differently in each implementation of SQL.

I ended up reading the record back . The quick and nasty way was by a table read , the better way is via a stored procedure
Create a stored procedure to insert and then return the autoint .At least you can handle concurrent ionserts in the SQL in the sproc which is better than in embedded SQL in an app.

If the table has a Primary Key that is set to autoincrement, all you need to do is:
INSERT INTO TABLE (COLUMN1, COLUMN2) VALUES (VALUE1, VALUE2); SELECT @@IDENTITY
This will return the ID of the last affected row.
|
|
|
|
|
I am also needing the primary key returned because I'm adding other dependent data to database.
My db is Access and I tried the "..SELECT @@ IDENTITY" to my command and the program threw an error. The Access db is in 2000 format. Any suggestions on getting this to work?
may your code be error free

Hi,
The above query is working fine. But how will I get the return value ? Shall I put as return @@identity?
Pls help.

A. This only works in SQL Server.
B. This is really bad practice. You shouldn't use @@Identity because there are problems with using it with triggers. Use Scope_Identity() instead.

my application is based on just one independent table there's no relations ..
what's the best choise to build this database app.
i mean which db engine you recommend to use , SQL , access ,
i don't know , please help
many regards

Go for Access, i think its a better Option for you right now. but its nice to get familiar with SQL, because later maybe by any reason you might want to upgrade to relational Database System.So like that it wont be an effort to Change, what do you think

and substring(Attrib_code,9,2)='00'
I WAS sUPPOSED TO MAKE THE LAST PAIR 19

you might use triggers for the update operation and in that trigger using the inserted and deleted tables you can retsore the previous values if required.

We can't write this for you because we don't know what your database schema is. If this is the only two orders you may want, I'd write a proc for each, otherwise I believe you need to build your SQL as a string and execute it.

Pass "1" or "2" to the database
and
using simple if statement sort accordingly.

Or try this:
select *
from
tblName
order by
case
WHEN @parmaeter=1 then
Name
else
Year
end ASC

case WHEN @iOrder='1' then vsName
else
nYOP
end ASC
--------------
EXEC TEST '1'
--------------------
Error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Procedure Test, Line 4
Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
------------------------------------------------------
Please Tellme where I made Mistake

Sorry , I have forgotten to tell you that the above statement will work only if
both the columns have same datatype.
try this:
select * from tabeName
order by
case when @a=1 then col1 end,
case when @a=2 then col2 end
Hope, this helps you.

Arun Kumar.A
