updates on new tables

  • Is eem to be having a problem performing updates on new tables.....Im only using a very simple update statement:

    update genderpercentage set percentagefemale = 1

    The command works on existing tables but not on new ones..all permissions are the same and all data types seem to be correct...any ideas?

    Thanks guys

  • Just a guess.

    The user under which the new tables are being created is different then the one previously used.

  • Hi Andrew,

    what do you mean by 'new ones'?

    Is there more than more table?

    Can you post the table structure?

    And maybe some sample data?

    Cheers,

  • ...and the value of @@rowcount after the update should be 100.

    is it?

    What is the value of @@trancount?

    From (another) QA window, can you:

    select count(*) from genderpercentage where percentagefemale = 1

    or:

    select count(*) from genderpercentage (nolock) where percentagefemale = 1
