Well, if that had been what he actually did,...

What I don't understand is why you'd want to insert the same company into your table more than once - unless this is a child table with a foreign key...

Yes! That certainly looks right. Obviously you'll want to test it and make sure it gives correct results in all circumstances, including multiple inserts.

Well done - you've listened...

That's good, but it's still going to fail if you insert more than one row at a time. Better to join PAT_ACCOUNT_MANAGER to the Inserted table to do the...

Gail, this isn't a catch-all query. According your article, a catch-all query is one "where the user may enter any one (or more) of a number of optional parameters"....

That could well be it. Here are two things you can try:

(1) Use this site[/url] to check that the syntax of your connection string is correct

(2) Create another variable,...

Two things with that. You're setting the value of @PAMID, but not using it downstream. That means you're doing unnecessary reads against PAT_ACCOUNT_MANAGER. Second, your trigger will...

Don't use a T-SQL cursor to do this. Use a ForEach loop container in SSIS. You can use the results from your table to set the value of...

I think the large table will be locked while the new column is added. Try it for yourself on a test server, and see what locks are acquired. ...

Happy to help. You can make it a bit neater by putting the CASE logic near the top:

...

SET @carage =CASE

-- don't need to cast as int because that's the...

If you specify your service account in SQL Server Configuration Manager (instead of in the Services applet), the correct permissions will be assigned. I don't know how they suddenly...

Comparing any value to NULL will return False. Please will you show us your query?

John

Edit - I think I see what you're trying to do. Will this work?

WHERE...

Yes, your code appears to assume that the row that was inserted is the one with the maximum PAT_ACCOUNT_MANAGER_ID. Even if that column had an identity property, that would...

I would guess that you're using different network libraries on the two OSes and that's responsible for the difference. Different settings will be used depending on your network library,...
