    There are a bunch of things wrong with that cursor. The main one is that it cannot handle multiple rows inserted in a single batch. Think about how your code will work if 10 rows are inserted. That alone could also be the cause of the ELSE not executing.

    As for that ELSE, put a print statement in the trigger so you can see what the actual value of that variable is to make SURE it is what you think it is.

    Also, since this is an INSERT only trigger, there will never be any rows in the DELETED table so it makes no sense to select from that table.

  • The problem was that the trigger was for insert only , after adding update its working.

    However let me tell you that. This is for one record at a time ,its not for bulk insert. If you still think this is wrong please correct me.

  • Hey, if you think you can guarantee that only one row will ever be inserted/updated at a time then your trigger will be OK. The problem is that you simply cannot do this - unless you are the ONLY ONE that has access to the database using something other than your application. Anyone who can get in using QA/SSMS/sqlcmd can issue a statement that will affect more than one row in a single batch - and then you wind up with bad data.

  • Your ELSE condition should be executed only in very special conditions which are not related with the information in your "inserted" table.

    Omitting critics on trigger design...

    At the very beginning you are selecting a bunch of variables from inserted table.

    @activeid is one of these variables.

    Then you are verifying is @activeid is not null

    Then you are going to ELSE condition:

    Print 'created date is not same as updateddate'

    Select @activeid=client_activeid From client Where client_clientid=@clientid

    Update [PortfolioTracker].[DBO].JVID_Master

    Set password=@password,jvidname=@name,jvidemail=@email,rmcode=@rmcode,jvidmobileno=@phone,ModifiedDateTime=getdate(),ModifiedBy='system'

    Where jvid=@activeid

    So, let me clarify. If @activeid selected from inserted IS NOT NULL, you are selecting yet another @activeid from the outside table and trying to update yet another outside table with variables selected from inserted based on condition of @activeid? If that is intenstion then it could be executed ONLY is the records with these @activeid exists in CLIENT and JVID_MASTER tables prior to main table.

    And again if that is an intension, you would have to verify that the data types for these column in all tables are the same...

    BTW, do you have any error in error log?

  • I can guarantee that only one record is inserted at a time because its a enterprise software which I am customizing, since it generates client_clientid by itself i can be sure that insertion will happen one at a time

    @activeid is null is a condition to check if the record is new or old record getting updated. If it is null then its a new record and I have to create a new active Id for the record using the algorithm.

    If @activeid is not null than i can use the active id for insertion or updation later.

    I also have a new problem

    Insert into

    PortfolioTracker.DBO.JVIdFamilyMapping(ModifiedDateTime,CreatedDateTime,JVId,ChildJVID,ModifiedBy,CreatedBy)

    Values (getdate(),getdate(),@relativeactiveid,@activeid,'system','system')

    this is throwing me this error

    "Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string"

  • Can you please verify what data type is used for ModifiedDateTime,CreatedDateTime columns?

  • The person who created the tables had made the createdby and modifiedby ad datetime so that was the problem.

    However I ak u guys for help if i still have other problems.

    Thanks
