Yes that's certainly the important thing. I hope to be able to do my job well. Discussions in forums of CP has always been a great source of information and helped me a lot. I always learn from them. I have just had a good one. Thanks for that. Smile | :)

That's an intriguing idea, I haven't really worked with SQL Server 2008 yet and using table valued parameters hadn't crossed my mind. I can see how it would easily lend itself to this situation. Thanks for the article!

Iam using sql reporting services ,i want to keep image from database

I kept IMAGE AND KEPT THE DATASOURCE FIELD AS (EX PHOTO_LOCATION)
IN THAT PHOTO_LOCATION FIELD IAM HAVING IMAGE NAME ..

(I ALSO KET THE IMAGE LOCATION IN TAT FILED AND CHECKED ,BUT IMAGE IS NOT COIMG)

do you mean the image's file name?

You need to store the actual image in your database, and then use it in your report. Google for how to store images in a database - I'm sure you will find a large number of hits on CP too.

I believe there is a property of the image that can be set to 'External' that allows you to use the value to refer to a location; however, this may only work with a URL location or perhaps in UNC format. Sorry, but I don't recall the name of the property off-hand.

There are loads of examples on CP and Google. Its quicker to go to google and type "OleDb insert" than it is to post your question here and wait for an answer. If you want to make a living as a developer then remember google is your friend.

is it possible to handle two transaction using DTC?

I am interested in knowing whether it is possible to coordinate two database transaction using Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC).

Any reference would be good.

Thanks,

Is it possible for triggers not to execute when the performance is poor?

Hello,

Some quick questions to help me in my investigation...

Is it possible for triggers not to execute when the performance is poor?

The scenario is this, we have a trigger on table A that copies data to table B whenever an insert/update is done on table A.
However, when we were having performance problems with the server, it seems like the trigger did not execute. This looks like the case because the data was successfully inserted in table A but it is not found in table B.

What could have been the problem?

Also, is it possible for the trigger to roll back the insert on table A if it fails? How can I do this?

Thank you in advance.

No, unless there's a bug in SQL Server.

Rafferty Uy wrote:

Yes it is. By executing rollback statement which rolls back the entire transaction.

I see.

What I meant with roll back is... for example I run a stored procedure AddToTableA, which executes a trigger TableAInsertTrigger.
How can I write TableAInsertTrigger in such a way that, if it fails, it will also roll back the AddToTableA SP?

Simply execute rollback as long as the operations are in the same transaction. Have a look at for example this article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/sqlservertransactions.aspx[^]

Rafferty Uy1-Dec-08 22:32

So, if I get this correctly... for example given the following SP and Trigger

CREATE PROCEDURE AddToTableA() AS
BEGIN
    BEGIN TRANSACTION
    INSERT INTO TableA VALUES(1, 'SomeValue')
    IF (@@ERROR <> 0) GOTO ERR_HANDLER
    COMMIT TRANSACTION
    RETURN 0

    ERR_HANDLER:
    ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
END

CREATE TRIGGER TableAInsertTrigger ON TableA FOR INSERT
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO TableB (SELECT * FROM INSERTED)
    
    -- do something else here, one that causes error
END

In the above case, if I call AddToTableA() and since TableAInsertTrigger fails, it will roll back the inserts on both TableB (in the Trigger) and TableA (in the SP)?

btw, thank you for helping Smile | :)

Yes, exactly. The insert statement in the trigger is inside the same transaction as the insert that fired the trigger. This is why if you roll back the transaction, also trigger modifications are rolled back.

It's easy to test if you create an error in the end of the trigger (for example set @variable = 1/0), you can see what happens.

Thanks again!

btw, just another quick question. If I do the condition above... does it mean that the SP will no longer raise an error?

For example, if I have another SP calling AddToTableA(), and let's say that this other SP has an if...else statement depending if AddToTableA() causes an error, will AddToTableA() still return an error when it already handled the @@ERROR and executed a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION?

When you execute RAISERROR in a stored procedure, the caller will see an error as a result, regardless who is calling the block. So even if you catch the error, the RAISERROR generates a 'new' one.

If the SP has executed rollback then there's no transaction left so be sure that you don't make any modifications since they would not be part of the original transaction.

Also, if I remember correctly, you cannot execute ROLLBACK again since it would generate a different error (no transaction or such).

I think it would be good if you create a test situation and try different variations in order to find the one that suits you best.
