How To Prevent A Second Entry Being Inserted With Primary Key Value? (C#)
Ok, this is a really stupid question, but I can't seem to find an answer I understand. In my SQL database I have a a table called MasterSkillList, to which the user can write by using a little web form with a text box and a drop down list. The table has 2 fields, Skill and Attribute. Skill is the primary key, as no skill can appear twice. What I want to do is prevent just that, I don't want people to enter the same skill more than once. So how do I tell the user that the entry allready exists in the database?
My C# Code is as follows:1 protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
2 {
3 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Skill"].DefaultValue = txtSkillName.Text;
4 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Attribute"].DefaultValue = ddlAbility.SelectedValue;
5 try
6 {
7 srcAddSkill.Insert();
8 lblErrorMessage.Text = "The skill '" + txtSkillName.Text + "' has been added. It is based on a character's " + ddlAbility.SelectedItem + " score.";
9 lblErrorMessage.Visible = true;
10 txtSkillName.Text = "";
11 }
12 catch (Exception ex)
13 {
14 lblErrorMessage.Text = "An exception has occurred. " + ex.Message;
15 lblErrorMessage.Visible = true;
16 }

Prevent Data Being Inserted Twice
I have a table with 3 columns: ID, Status, DateTime. I created a stored procedure to insert a staus value for each ID. This will run every hour. The DateTime stores the time, date when the Status was inserted. If the procedure was to be run a second time in hour window I do not want any Status to be inserted. Note: that I cannot rely on the procedure being run at exactly the right time - if it was scheduled to run on the hour (i.e at 1:00, 2:00, 3 :00 etc) but didn't run until 1:20 it sould still be able to run at 2:00. Does anyone know if there is anyway I can gaurd against this?

Setting Primary Key Of New Row Being Inserted
Not sure if this is the right place for this post or not, but I'll give it a try... If I am inserting a record into a table that uses a Primary Key, but not an Identity column, how do I insert the new primary key value? I started out with SQL just letting the Identity column increment itself for primary keys, but I cannot do that for this particular situation. If 'AddressID' is the primary key in the 'Address' table, could I do something like this: INSERT INTO Address (AddressID, Field1, Field2, ...) VALUES (**max value of primary key in Address table, plus 1**, 'field1data', 'field2data', ...); If that works, how would I make this part of the insert query: **max value of primary key in Address table, plus 1** ? I hope this question is clear and makes sense. If it's not, please let me know.

Inserted Records Missing In Sql Table Yet Tables' Primary Key Field Has Been Incremented.
I have a sql sever 2005 express table with an automatically incremented primary key field. I use a Detailsview to insert new records and on the Detailsview itemInserted event, i send out automated notification emails. I then received two automated emails(indicating two records have been inserted) but looking at the database, the records are not there. Whats confusing me is that even the tables primary key field had been incremented by two, an indication that indeed the two records should actually be in table. Recovering these records is not abig deal because i can re-enter them but iam wondering what the possible cause is. How come the id field was even incremented and the records are not there yet iam 100% sure no one deleted them. Its only me who can delete a record. And then how come i insert new records now and they are all there in the database but now with two id numbers for those missing records skipped. Its not crucial data but for my learning, i feel i deserve understanding why it happened because next time, it might be costly.

SQL Injection - How To Prevent It?
I am building my first ASP.Net app from scratch and while working on the DAL I came across the problem of SQL Injection. I searched on the web and read different articles but I am still unsure about the answer. My question is should I add db.AddInParameter(dbCommand, "AvatarImageID", DbType.Int32, avatarImageID); Add in Parameters to my C# code to avoid SQL Injection. What is the best practice. I am unclear if the stored procedure already helps me avoid SQl Injection or if I need the add in parameters in the C# methods to make it work. I need some help. Thanks, Newbie My C# update method in the DAL (still working on the code) private static bool Update(AvatarImageInfo avatarImage) { //Invoke a SQL command and return true if the update was successful. db.ExecuteNonQuery("syl_AvatarImageUpdate", avatarImage.AvatarImageID, avatarImage.DateAdded, avatarImage.ImageName, avatarImage.ImagePath, avatarImage.IsApproved); return true; } I am using stored procedures to access the data in the database. My update stored proc set ANSI_NULLS ON set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[syl_AvatarImageUpdate] @AvatarImageID int, @DateAdded datetime, @ImageName nvarchar(64), @ImagePath nvarchar(64), @IsApproved bit AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements.

Prevent SP Compilation
Hi,I'm using SQL Server 2000 MSDE on a laptop running Windows XP.I have a couple of SP's that that quite some time to compile. So I waswondering: is there any way to have the database *not* recompile them everytime after a reboot?BOL says: "As a database is changed by such actions as adding indexes orchanging data in indexed columns, the original query plans used to accessits tables should be optimized again by recompiling them. This optimizationhappens automatically the first time a stored procedure is run afterMicrosoft® SQL ServerT 2000 is restarted."Now the SQL Server is restarted a lot, because laptops don't have endlessbatteries <g>Cheers,Bas

So it's:dataIDeventIDeventInfotimestampWhat I'd like to do, if at all possible, is a single SQL query that,given a dataID, returns the most recent eventInfo and timestamp foreach eventID.

Prevent Duplication On UPDATE
Hello I noticed a spelling mistake in the data in a column of several tables, I used the following syntax to alter the spelling: UPDATE [dbo].[Prod_Cat] SET [ProdName]=N'merseyside' WHERE ProdName = 'mmserseyside' The above code correctly updated the spelling error, but it also inserted a new row with the corrected data. So I found myself with two Identical rows containing the corrected information. I had to manually delete the extra row. Because if I had put in a DELETE statement, I would have then lost both rows. What do I need to do to prevent this happening next time. As I find that I need to update the names of some products, but I don't want to duplicate them. Thanks Lynn

How Do I: Prevent Race Condition?
I want to be able to read and update a value in the database without entering a race condition. For example: User #1 reads a row from the database, changes a value then writes the value back. User #2 reads the same row AFTER user #1 has read it, but BEFORE user #1 writes it back. User #2 then changes the value and writes it back, overwriting the value that user #1 wrote. I thought I could do this with transactions, but it just makes user #2 wait until user #1 is done writing before user #2 can write. It doesn't stop user #2 from reading while user #1 has it out. Does that make sense?

What Are Sql Injection Attacks And How To Prevent?
this is a question I put in the sql community in microsoft, but havent be answered in full ------------ I am using dynamic sql to do a query with differents 'order' sentences and/or 'where' sentences depending on a variable I pass to the sp ex: create proc ex @orden varchar(100) @criterio varchar(100) as declare consulta varchar(4000) set consulta=N'select pais from paises where '+@criterio' order by '+@orden ------------ I'd like to know it it uses 2 sp in the cache, as I read, the main sp and the query inside the variable of the dynamic sql. if so, as I imagine, then I suppose I have to do the main sp without any 'if' sentence to be the same sp, and so taking it from the cache and not recompile the sp now, I have various 'if' sentences in the main sp (the caller of the dynamic sql) but I plan to remove them and do the 'if' by program -it is in asp.net-, so I suppose it is better because in this way the main sp is took from the cache, supposing this uses the cache different that the dynamic sql in the variable what do u think? does the dynamic sql use 2 caches? if so, u think it is better to try to do the main sp same in all uses (no 'if' statements)? ----- They told me this coding is not good (dynamic sql) because it can give control to the user? I ask, how does it give control to use? what ar sql injection attack and how to prevent them? I use dynamis sql because I have 150 queries to do, and thought dynamic sql is good is it true that dynamic sql have to be recompiled in each execution? I suppose so only if the sql variable is different, right? can u help me?

Trigger To Prevent Duplicates
Hi all, I'm writing a trigger to prevent duplicates. I know that this can be done through primary key or unique constraints but in the real world my uniqueness is defined by 8 columns which is too a big an index to maintain on the primary / unique key. If I create a table with 2 columns CREATE TABLE Table1 (CentreCHAR(10), Month CHAR(3) ) Then create a trigger to prevent duplicates CREATE TRIGGER trigger_Check_Duplicates ON Table1 FOR INSERT, UPDATE AS -- This trigger has been created to check that duplicate rows are not inserted into AudioVisual table. DECLARE @IsDuplicate INTEGER -- Check if row exists SELECT @IsDuplicate = 1 FROM Inserted i, Table1 t WHERE t.Centre = i.Centre AND t.Month = i.Month IF (@IsDuplicate = 1) -- Display Error and then Rollback transaction BEGIN RAISERROR ('This row already exists in the table', 16, 1) ROLLBACK TRANSACTION END Then insert a row into the new table (no other data is in there) INSERT Table1 VALUES('0691040176','AUG') I get the Trigger error message that the row already exists. Why is this the case? I though that Table 1 (target table) would show no entries as it has no data - it should be a before image of the table and the inserted table should be an after image. Please help!!! Thanks Neill

Prevent MS Access To Connect
Hello I'm facing a dilemma. I have quite a lot of users who need read access to data for analysis purposes. By granting them read access you also give them the option to connect to the database using MS Access which puts locks on the data. First I thought of generating stored procedures for all tables within a database those users need to query but when users execute a stored procedure with the name of the table, they get a resultset of all the data. They cannot filter the data by for example using select top 100* from usp_table where name like '%worf%' I'm sure I'm not the only one here but I don't see any alternative then grant them those rights. Thanks! Best Regards, Worf

Is It Possible To Prevent Databases From Being Copied?
Hi, We have a point of sale application (C# .NET 2.0) and a Sql Server 2005 database back end. Our customers are concerned that employees could create a backup of the SQL Server database (or even of the MDF file) and use it to steel customer data. Very often, the application is running on a single PC in a shop using Sql Server Express Edition 2005 under Windows XP. The users usually log on as local administrator. It's hard for us to force our customers to change their local security policies. Ideally, I would like some form of security mechanism that prevents a backup from being restored on to another PC without either a password or some other form of authentication. Is this possible?

How To Prevent A Distributed Transaction?
I have a stored proc that performs some validations and returns a result set. I catch the result set in a calling procedure as follows: declare @tblErr (ErrType varchar(20), ErrMsg varchar(255)) insert @tblErr (ErrType, ErrMsg) exec dbo.spMyProc ...(args) Within the def of spMyProc there is a cross-server call: create procedure dbo.spMyProc (...params...) as begin declare @tblErr (ErrType varchar(20), ErrMsg varchar(255)) ...(do checking, inserts to @tblErr)... -- check other server exec @n = otherserver.mydb.dbo.spCheck ...(args) if @n != 0 insert @tblErr values ('someerr', 'somemsg') ...etc. select ErrType, ErrMsg from @tblErr end Apparently, the implicit transaction of the outer Insert statement is causing a distributed transaction to be started. There is no 'begin tran', distributed or non, and the foreign sp has no data-modifying statements. The call to spMyProc, if done from a query window, works fine, returning the desired resultset. When called from the outer proc, the call fails because the servers are not configured for distributed transactions. When performed without the cross-server call, using a copy of the remote db attached to the local server, the outer proc works fine. I do not want a distributed transaction. How can I prevent one? The local server is 2005 Standard on Server 2003, and the linked server is SQL2000 on Windows 2000 Server.

Anyone Know What Causes This Error Log Entry?
"High priority system task thread: Operating system error Exception 0xAE encountered." we are seeing this on one of our development servers, running SQL 2005 Enterprise SP1. The symptom is that after the sql service has been running a while (order of days), this error starts getting written to the sql server log file over and over, and eventually the logfile fills the drive. Apparently it's fixed by this hotfix, but our ops team doesn't want to install this - they'd rather just cycle the service and delete the log when it happens. I was wondering if anyone else has seen it might know the root cause so we might be able to workaround it without cycling the service. I know, lame question. The correct answer is "install the hotfix" or "install sp2" but our ops team won't do that for now... www.elsasoft.org
