Getting counts before deleting data

  • Hi,

    I'm working on data archiving to Archive database from source database. I have to insert data from source database table to archive database and then delete from source. But I want to perform a check by getting no.of rows inserted  is equal to no.of rows that are selected to delete. Table1 is parent table and Table2 is child table. Below is the stored procedure I'm using and running that from a SQL agent job.

    Procedure:

    Create PROC [dbo].[Archive_testcounts]
    (
    @CutOffPeriod CreateDateTime = NULL
    )
    AS
    BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON

    IF @CutOffPeriod IS NULL
    BEGIN
    SET @CutOffPeriod = DATEADD(mm, -6, cast(getdate() As Date))

    END
    ELSE
    BEGIN
    IF @CutOffPeriod > DATEADD(mm, -3, cast(getdate() As Date))
    BEGIN
    RAISERROR ('Cannot delete records from last 3 month', 16, 1)
    RETURN -1
    END
    END

    BEGIN TRAN

    declare @Delete1 int,@delete2 int, @Insert1 int, @insert2 int
    --Copy data from SourceDB tables to archive DB tables:

    --1. Table1

    set @insert1 =(select count (*) from SourceDB.Table1 o
    where ID in
    (
    select distinct ID from SourceDB.dbo.Table2 where CreateDateTime<@CutOffPeriod)

    and ID not in (
    select ID
    from Archive.dbo.Table1
    ))
    print @insert1
    insert into archive.dbo.table1
    select T1.*,getdate() as loaddate from SourceDB.dbo.table1 T1
    where ID in
    (
    select distinct ID from SourceDB.dbo.Table2 where CreateDateTime<@CutOffPeriod)

    and ID not in (
    select ID
    from Archive.dbo.Table1
    )

    IF @@ERROR <> 0
    BEGIN
    ROLLBACK TRAN
    RAISERROR ('Error occured while copying data to Archive.table1', 16, 1)
    RETURN -1
    END

    --2. Table2

    set @insert2=(select count (*) from SourceDB.dbo.table2 where CreateDateTime<@CutOffPeriod)
    print @insert2

    insert into archive.dbo.table2
    select T2.*,getdate() as loaddate from SourceDB.dbo.Table2 T2 where CreateDateTime<@CutOffPeriod


    IF @@ERROR <> 0
    BEGIN
    ROLLBACK TRAN
    RAISERROR ('Error occured while copying data to Archive.Table2', 16, 1)
    RETURN -1
    END


    set @delete1=(select count(*) from SourceDB.dbo.Table2 where CreateDateTime<@CutOffPeriod)
    print @delete1
    if @insert1=@delete1

    delete from SourceDB.dbo.Table2 where CreateDateTime<@CutOffPeriod

    IF @@ERROR <> 0
    BEGIN
    ROLLBACK TRAN
    RAISERROR ('Error occured while deleting data from SourceDB.dbo.Table2', 16, 1)
    RETURN -1
    END

    set @delete2=(select count(*) from SourceDB.dbo.Table1
    where ID in
    (
    select distinct ID from Archive.dbo.Table2 where cast(loaddate as date)=cast(getdate() as date)))

    print @delete2
    if @insert2=@delete2
    delete from SourceDB.dbo.Table1
    where ID in
    (
    --select ID from SorceDB.dbo.Table2 where CreateDateTime<@CutOffPeriod)
    select distinct ID from Archive.dbo.Table2 where cast(loaddate as date)=cast(getdate() as date)
    )


    IF @@ERROR <> 0
    BEGIN
    ROLLBACK TRAN
    RAISERROR ('Error occured while deleting data from SourceDB.dbo.Table1', 16, 1)
    RETURN -1
    END

    IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0
    BEGIN
    COMMIT TRAN
    RETURN 0
    END

    END

    But the job is writing to the output file as below

     

    Job 'Archive' : Step 1, 'archive' : Began Executing 2019-08-07 13:28:34

    4 [SQLSTATE 01000]

    156 [SQLSTATE 01000]

    156 [SQLSTATE 01000]

    4 [SQLSTATE 01000]

    How to avoid [SQLSTATE 01000] in output file?

    Please let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

  • Why the DISTINCT?

    where ID in

    (

    select distinct ID from SourceDB.dbo.Table2 where CreateDateTime<@CutOffPeriod)

    Doesn't matter if there are duplicates in the list you're matching to. DISTINCT is expensive. Use it only when you need to.

  • [SQLSTATE 01000] is normal to see with print statements executed through SQL Agent. You can ignore them.

    Sue

  • can we suppress [SQLSTATE 01000] messages writing to log file?

  • When you insert the rows you can OUTPUT the Id's into a temporary table. Then delete the Ids from the source table that are in the temporary table.

    Also, you should have a try/catch block around the entire set of queries. In the catch you should rollback and on success commit.
