Value set in CONTEXT_INFO not able to fetch in trigger proc

  • Hello!

    I have two different procs for deleting the record and another proc for trigger which stores data in some history table.

    I am trying to set value in CONTEXT_INFO with user name and I need this value in trigger proc so that I can insert user info in History table. But in trigger I am not getting value which I have set in delete proc.

    is this because of session of delete proc is getting expired and in trigger I am getting value for totally different session??

    --This is how I set

    DECLARE @context varbinary(128)

    SET @context = CAST(@USER AS varbinary)

    SET CONTEXT_INFO @context

    --This is how I retrieve

    DECLARE @deleteUser VARCHAR(MAX)

    --SELECT @deleteUser = CAST(CONTEXT_INFO() AS varchar(MAX))

    SELECT @deleteUser = CAST(CONTEXT_INFO AS VARCHAR(MAX))FROM [master].[sys].[sysprocesses] WHERE SPID=@@SPID

    Please suggest

    Many thanks in adv.

  • It's a little tricky to work with context_info. See here for how for examples: http://www.sommarskog.se/grantperm.html#context_info. (That's a section in a longer article, and you only need to read down to the next header.)
