Insert Trigger

  • Hi All,

    I have table A that has 2 columns(col 1,col2). I would like a create trigger that collects all duplicate inserts.For example ,when i insert new records that both col 1and col2 exists on Table A ,then insert that record into Table Audit as well.

    Here what came up with ,but logic is not right.

    Create TRIGGER [dbo].[Dupl_Rec]

    ON [dbo].[Table A]

    FOR INSERT AS

    IF EXISTS(SELECT A.col1,A.Col2 FROM TableA A, Inserted i WHERE A.Col1==i.Col1 AND A.Col2=i.Col2)

    BEGIN

    INSERT INTO Audit

    (

    EVENT_DATE,

    Col1,

    Col2)

    SELECT

    GETDATE(),

    ins.Col1,

    ins.Col2

    FROM Inserted ins

    END

    Thank you

  • Try below.  Sorry, I don't have time right now to explain the code.

    SET ANSI_NULLS ON;
    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON;
    GO

    CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[Dupl_Rec]
    ON [dbo].[Table A]
    AFTER INSERT
    AS
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    INSERT INTO dbo.Audit (
    EVENT_DATE,
    Col1,
    Col2
    )
    SELECT DISTINCT i.EVENT_DATE, i.Col1, i.Col2
    FROM inserted i
    INNER JOIN dbo.TableA A ON
    A.Col1=i.Col1 AND
    A.Col2=i.Col2 AND
    A.EVENT_DATE < (SELECT MIN(i.EVENT_DATE) FROM inserted i)

    /*end of trigger*/
    GO

    This is a solutions with 2 different rules for insert in Audit. Hope it helps you!!!! The solution with insert of all dup-rows could be, if col1 and col2 tells that it's a duplicate, but there are other columns, which values could be different.
