Hi Guys
I have a store proc that delete a row from a and I would like to get the result of the deleted row whether be =1 or True in order to execute another store proc. Could this be possible?
```
---- I am aware this code won't work I am trying to explain what I would like to accomplish
DECLARE @RowToDelete int,@Result int
SET @RowToDelete=1

SELECT @Result=(DELETE from table where Id=@RowToDelete)

IF @Result=1     --- Or whatever rusults is
   BEGIN
        EXEC('storeproc @param1, @param2)
   END
```
Only if the deleted row is true then execute the store proc.
TIA
AL

CREATE TRIGGER TriggerName
ON YourTableName
AFTER DELETE
AS
BEGIN
    -- -- Check if any row was deleted (= 1 or True)
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM DELETED) 
    BEGIN
        -- Execute your stored procedure
        EXEC YourStoredProcedureName;
    END;
END;

Try something like this ...

DECLARE @RowToDelete int,@Result int;
SET @RowToDelete=1;

DELETE from table where Id=@RowToDelete;

SELECT @Result = @@ROWCOUNT;

IF @Result=1     --- Or whatever rusults is
   BEGIN
        EXEC storeproc @param1, @param2;
   END

I would lean towards DesNorton's solution as I dislike triggers and I think they get hidden/lost from future devs/DBAs.
