Create DML trigger for single table in SQL 2008 and send email alert to group

  • krishnavenkat16 (4/16/2013)


    ....but the requester is looking for old item i mean records before the update...

    You commented the code that does that out:

    if @optype = 2 --or @optype = 3

    the or @optype = 3 is what puts in the old (pre-update) values in the update case; the code I suggested gives both the pre-update values and the post-update values, so that you can see both what has been changed and what it has been changed to.

    The delete case having a null body was a silly omission in what I suggested. the declaration of body needs to be changed to

    DECLARE @Body varchar(500); set @Body = '';

    so that it isn't null even if there are no new rows.

    Thanks Steve,Lowell,L'eomot for your help and patience ....script is working fine now....i'm posting the entire script for people who might need it in future....

    Actually with that code you are getting the new values for updates and not the old values. Maybe that's not a problem?

    Tom

  • Hey Tom,

    Here what i'm getting....

    for insert...new records are logged - with this requester can know what record is inserted

    for update....old records are logged - with this Requester will know what has been updated

    for delete ....deleted records are logged - with this Requester will know what has been deleted

    fyi, i have removed the comment on @optype = 3

    i guess this result is fine....please let me know if i need to update the code...

    Yes, removing that comnment fixes it. I don't see any other problem. Glad you've got something that works - it took a while for us to help you there.

  • Yes, thank you very much ..

  • Thank you for this DML trigger.

    When I am running this trigger I am getting syntax error is there any thing I need to change in that trigger ?

  • dba.sql29 (4/25/2014)


    Thank you for this DML trigger.

    When I am running this trigger I am getting syntax error is there any thing I need to change in that trigger ?

    There shouldn't be a syntax error as it worked for Robin35. Have you changed anything?

    Anyway, if you tell us what the error message is maybe we can help.

    Tom

  • Ah, sorry. I was doing a little test and hit post instead of prview.

    Actually, while I'm here...

    If I'm reading the code correctly, the code has a bit of a flaw in it that you might want to consider. If someone inserts, updates, or deletes more than 1 row in the same insert, update, or delete, what do you want to be contained in the email? I suspect it will be that you want more than 1 row?

    I'm pretty sure the OP was basing everything on the idea that all inserts, updates, and deletes were single row. Certainly Lowell's suggestion on 11 April last year handled multiple rows (including serialization using XML) and my post on April 15 last year (at 8:17 PM) specifically pointed out the multiple row issue and provided code that handled it with plain text serialization, but the OP payed no attention to that aspect of those posts. I'd forgotten that the OP had not adopted anything to handle multiple rows, hence my not very helpful response to dba.sql29.

    Both statements in this part of the code

    SELECT @ConfigSetID_Ins = i.ConfigSetID, @Name = i.Name, @Version = .[Version],

    @Timestamp = i.[Timestamp]

    from inserted i --join ConfigSet C on I.ConfigSetID = C.ConfigSetID

    SELECT @ConfigSetID_Del = d.ConfigSetID, @Name = d.Name, @Version = [d].[Version],

    @Timestamp = d.[Timestamp]

    from deleted d-- join ConfigSet C on d.ConfigSetID = C.ConfigSetID

    will fail if more than one row is updated, inserted, or deleted so that may be where dba.sql29 is finding a problem.

    This trigger is not going to work for me. I am trying to capture user name, data and couple of other thing when something is inserted, deleted or updated into a particulate table.

    Does any one know that can be possible ?

    Here is the problem. This thread was created by somebody else over a year ago. You are now hijacking that thread. You should start your own thread to get help with your problem.

    The second issue is that you have not provided us much detail here.

    Before you start your own thread please do yourself a favor and take a few minutes to read the first article in my signature about best practices when posting questions.

    The errors you listed are all to do with table structure - the original trigger uses teh column names of teh original table, and what it does depends on the number of coulmns in the original table. You need to adjust it to use the shape and column names (and types) of your table.

    As sean said, you would best start a ne topic to deal with your particular question. The things that you are wanting to do are all fairly straightforward, but you need to provide information specific to your question for any of us to provide a detailed answer, and that specific information, since it contradicts the starting point information for this thread, should be placed in a new separate thread.
