Stored Procedure not functioning correctly

  • Hi,

    I have written a stored procedure that will, when working, insert a new row into a database with 4 columns, the first column is my devide ID, the second is my Data, the final two columns are times.

    The database has the following structure

    DEVICE_ID INT

    ALARM_TYPE INT

    INITIAL_TIME DATETIME

    ACKNOWLEDGE_TIME DATETIME

    My stored procedure is as follows

    ALTER PROCEDURE UPDATE_ALARMS_DECODERS_NEW @DECODER_ID INT, @ALARM_TYPE INT

    AS

    DECLARE @TEMP_DECODER_ID INT

    DECLARE @TEMP_ALARM_TYPE INT

    SET @TEMP_DECODER_ID = ISNULL(@DECODER_ID,-1)

    SET@TEMP_ALARM_TYPE = ISNULL(@ALARM_TYPE,-1)

    IF @TEMP_DECODER_ID < 0

    BEGIN

    RETURN -1

    END

    IF @TEMP_ALARM_TYPE < 0

    BEGIN

    RETURN -2

    END

    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT DECODER_ID FROM ALARMS_DECODERS WHERE DECODER_ID = @TEMP_DECODER_ID)

    BEGIN

    INSERT INTO ALARMS_DECODERS (DECODER_ID, ALARM_TYPE, INITIAL_TIME,ACKNOWLEDGE_TIME )

    VALUES (@TEMP_DECODER_ID, @TEMP_ALARM_TYPE, NULL, GETDATE())

    END

    UPDATE ALARMS_DECODERS

    SET INITIAL_TIME = GETDATE(),

    ACKNOWLEDGE_TIME = GETDATE()

    WHERE DECODER_ID = DECODER_ID

    I cant seem to work out why this procedure is modifying each line whilst not adding a new entry

    TIA

    Tony

  • This line, "WHERE DECODER_ID = DECODER_ID" will make it update every row. I think you want the second one to be a variable. Not sure which variable it's supposed to be, the input parameter or the temp ID, but I think it's supposed to be one of those.

  • Perhaps somewhat tangential - but there are a couple of things that you may want to think about -

    1. You may want to think about reusing variables instead of creating more temp variables - for instance, you could perhaps do something like: set @device_id = isnull(@device_id, -1).

    2. You may also want to try to minimize the number of IF ELSE blocks in your code - not always possible or worth it depending on the scenarios and ease of code maintenance.

    Finally - my best shot at your sproc - test it out; hopefully it works.

    IF(@decoder_id IS NULL OR @alarm_type IS NULL)

    BEGIN

    RETURN CASE WHEN @decoder_id IS NULL THEN -1 ELSE -2 END

    END

    INSERT INTO ALARMS_DECODERS (DECODER_ID, ALARM_TYPE, INITIAL_TIME, ACKNOWLEDGE_TIME)

    SELECT @decoder_id, @alarm_type, NULL, GETDATE()

    WHERE NOT EXISTS (select * from ALARMS_DECODERS WHERE DECODER_ID = @decoder_id)

    UPDATE ALARMS_DECODERS

    SET INITIAL_TIME = GETDATE(),

    ACKNOWLEDGE_TIME = GETDATE()

    WHERE DECODER_ID = @decoder_id

    AND @@ROWCOUNT = 0 -- implies the above INSERT did not take place
