Triggers Across Servers
Aug 6, 2002Hi All,
Can I write a trigger on one server and if I reference the server.db.owner.table can it work on a different server?
Thanks in advance,

Triggers And Linked Servers
Jun 17, 2004I've been working on this for a couple of days now, trying different scenarious.
Problem:
I created a 'FOR INSERT' trigger on server1.dbs1.owner.table1 to collect information and insert to a linked server server2.dbs2.owner.table2. When I run with the trigger active, SQL Analyzer just hangs in there "Executing Query Batch ..." indefinately. When I don't create the trigger, but run all parts manually from SQL Analyzer, it works fine.
What did I try:
1. create a 'FOR INSERT' trigger on server1.dbs1.owner.table1 to insert into server1.dbs1.owner.table2. This worked fine.
2. create a stored proc to execute within the trigger on server1.dbs1.owner.table1 to insert to server2.dbs2.owner.table2. This just hangs in there "Executing Query Batch ..." indefinately.
What now?
I have a suspicion that something is not working correctly with the triggers and the linked servers. Has anyone encountered a similar problem and what did you do to overcome this? I greatly appreciate all responses and suggestions. Thanks all.
Linked Servers And Triggers
Oct 21, 2004I have two servers one on SQL Server 2000 one on SQL Server 7
I have setup the two servers so that they are linked and have added appropriate logins.
How it works is a record is inserted into a database on SQL 2000 which has a trigger on it that send the record to a stored procedure on the SQL 7 server, from there this places the record into a table, which calls a trigger. Now this all works fine when I use the query analyser however when I don't use it, the record does not get inserted anywhere. Now I have stepped through it and it works up until the last trigger, if I remove that everything works fine. However the code in this trigger works fine, as when I use the quuery analyser everything works just as it should.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get this to work?
Thanks :-)
Triggers In Different Database Servers
Feb 16, 2004Dear All,
I am trying to create a trigger on table A existing in Database A on Server A which on insert,update,delete would reflect these changes on table B in DatabaseB on Server B. I wrote the following syntax but it doesnt work
CREATE trigger trg_upd_tableA
On dbo.tableA
for UPDATE
as
--update the fields
declare @cust_no varchar
SELECT @cust_no = cust_no FROM inserted
update ServerB.DatabaseB.dbo.tableB
set
entity_type_cd = 'MFG',
cust_no = 6699,
name_en = 'NOVARTIS',
status ='A',
create_date=getdate()
,modify_date=getdate()
where cust_no= @cust_no
I get the error below
Another user has modified the contents of this table or view ; the database row you are modifying no longer exists in the database
Database Error: '[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] MSDTC on server 'DatabaseB' is unavailable'
I would like anyone to reply to me as soon as possible please because i need the solution urgently
Thanks alot in advance,

Triggers On Linked Servers
Apr 19, 2004Can i write triggers beteen the linked servers.Here is the whole scenario. I have 3 servers. Server aaaa and server bbbb has replication in between them.Server aaaa is a publisher and server bbbb is the suscriber. I have another server cccc.So If i make any change on a table xxxx should effect the tablee xxxx on server aaaa and bbbb.So i am writing a trigger(for insert,update and delete on the table) xxxx on the server ccccc.So that trigger should take care of any DML(insert,update and delete) happend on table xxxx on server cccc and should effect on server aaaa and then the replication should take care of server bbbb.This want i am planning right now?Is it a good practice to implement in such a requirement?
Please help me.
Thanks.
Problem With Triggers Between Linked Servers
Jul 20, 2005I have two SQL Server 2000 machines (server_A and server_B). I'veused sp_addlinkedserver to link them both, the link seems to behavefine. I can execute remote queries and do all types of neat thingsfrom one while logged onto the other.I'm working on a project to keep the data in the two systemssynchronized, so I'm using triggers on both sides to update eachother. For testing, I've created a simple, one-column table on bothservers, and also created a trigger on both tables. Consider thefollowing trigger code on server_A:CREATE TRIGGER myTriggerON myTableFOR INSERTASSET XACT_ABORT ONSET NOCOUNT ONINSERT INTO server_B.myDB.dbo.myTable SELECT * FROM insertedGOAnd also the following trigger code on server_B:CREATE TRIGGER myTriggerON myTableFOR INSERTASSET XACT_ABORT ONSET NOCOUNT ONINSERT INTO server_A.myDB.dbo.myTable SELECT * FROM insertedGOBefore you start screaming about the recursive relationship betweenthese triggers, I'm well aware of that issue, so I'm wrapping thetrigger logic with a login ID test. The servers are linked using aspecial login account, I'll call it 'trigger_bypass_login', so thetriggers look like this:CREATE TRIGGER myTriggerON myTableFOR INSERTASSET XACT_ABORT ONSET NOCOUNT ONIF SUSER_SNAME() <> 'trigger_bypass_login'INSERT INTO server_A.myDB.dbo.myTable SELECT * FROM insertedGOAlthough this logically works fine, there seems to be a compile issue,because I'm running into the error:The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider'SQLOLEDB' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.[OLE/DB provider returned message: New transaction cannot enlist inthe specified transaction coordinator. ]OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'SQLOLEDB'ITransactionJoin::JoinTransaction returned 0x8004d00a].What is strange is that I CONTINUE TO GET THE ERROR if I change thetrigger code to the following:CREATE TRIGGER myTriggerON myTableFOR INSERTASSET XACT_ABORT ONSET NOCOUNT ONIF 1=0INSERT INTO server_A.myDB.dbo.myTable SELECT * FROM insertedGOSo obviously, it has nothing to do with the actual inserting that theINSERT performs, but rather the fact that the trigger INSERTreferences the linked server/table.So, I moved the INSERT statement to a stored procedure, and it worksand I no longer get the error:CREATE TRIGGER myTriggerON myTableFOR INSERTASSET XACT_ABORT ONSET NOCOUNT ONIF SUSER_SNAME() <> 'trigger_bypass_login'EXEC myStoredProcedureGOIt works.. BUT, the stored procedure does not have access to the SQLServer 'inserted' trigger table. I've tried usingDECLARE CURSOR myCursor GLOBAL FOR SELECT * FROM insertedand then letting the stored procedure reference the cursor, but then Ihave to deal with the cursor data on a column-level basis, which isnot an option in this project because there are 100's of tables withmany columns, which might change over time.So it is of extreme importance that I use INSERT INTO ... SELECT tomove the row data in a generic fashion.I hope I have provided enough, yet not too much, information.I would really appreciate any suggestions anyone might have as to howI might handle this situation. Thanks.Hank

Federated Servers - Triggers And Identity Columns
May 1, 2008
Hi Folks.
I am trying to understand federated servers. So far I have been able to link 2 servers, create a distributed view, and run a select and insert query against the view.
The next thing that I need to understand is how to deal with triggers and with identity columns (ie columns that have auto-increments).
Our application is using triggers on tables in several cases to keep track of create and update dates. So there is a trigger that automatically updates the datetime field on a table whenever that row gets updated or changed or created. This way the programmer doesn't need to remember to update those date time values. Now I understand that in the distributed view architecture the triggers on the underlying tables may not work. Can any one comment on this?
As well, I have a table which has the identity enabled, so it is incrementing a counter and creating a unique integer key value for each new record. How does this work when we move to a distributed architecture? How do I assure a unique key is generated in the distributed view architecture?
Thank you in advance.
Data Driven Subscriptions - Triggers Multiple Times On Prod Servers?
Mar 7, 2008
Hey!
DDS triggers 3 - 4 times on Report Servers with 15 mints apart..any ideas?
Multiple Triggers On A Table Or Encapsulated Triggers
May 12, 2008This isn€™t an problem as such, it€™s more of a debate.
If a table needs a number of update triggers which do differing tasks, should these triggers be separated out or encapsulated into one all encompassing trigger. Speaking in terms of performance, it doesn€™t make much of an improvement doing either depending upon the tasks performed. I was wondering in terms of maintenance and best practice etc. My view is that if the triggers do totally differing tasks they should be a trigger each on their own.

Sql Report Works Fine On Internal Servers - Hosed On External Servers - Need Some Help
Nov 21, 2007I have a report that was designed using SQL Reporting Services that sits on a SQL reporting server. It's nothing too exciting, it is essentially a three page application with legal jumbo on pages 2 and 3 and applicant data in fields on page 1.
We use rectangles to force page breaks to page 2 and to page 3.
When running the report on the report server, it shows and prints fine.
When running the report from the QA website internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from the production website from a machine internally, it shows and prints just fine.
When running the report from outside of the company network, the report is jacked. It obliterates large chunks of text, crams text together, and creates blank pages.
I need help in determining where I even begin with trouble shooting this!
Development Servers, Auto-update Live Servers
Aug 21, 2001can anyone tell me if they know of a way to automate the update process from development servers to live server, with little interference from an administrator
I have a development team that are constantly updating their databases along with their ASP code, and want to publish changes an a weekly basis. They have asked me for a way to take their new structures, tables, procedures etc, and copy them to the live servers, but NOT to interfere with existing customer data.
Funny I know – and I hate the idea btw :(
Any references, contacts, 3rd party tool recommendations welcome,
Thanx,

Linking SQL 2005 Servers To SQL 2000 Servers Problems
Sep 27, 2007I am in the middle of a major migraton project, moving from x86 SQL 2000 to IA64 SQL 2005. I have a business need to link to several legacy servers. I have a number of problems I am trying to solve.
1) Linking a Kerberos server to a non-Kerberos server.
2) Linking x64 or IA64 servers to x86 servers.
3) Linking SQL 2005 to SQL 2000.
Two of the errors I am encountering are:
------------------------------
TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Communication link failure".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10054)
------------------------------
And
------------------------------
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for the linked server "SCDC250DB" reported an error. Authentication failed.
Cannot initialize the data source object of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB".
OLE DB provider "SQLCLI" for linked server "SCDC250DB" returned message "Invalid authorization specification".
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7399)
If someone has worked through these problems before, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to the relevant documentation to resolve these issues.
Thanks!

Triggers
Jan 3, 2007Is it possible to achieve this using triggers:When someone tries to delete a row in table A, the trigger should first delete a corresponding row in table B and then delete the row in table A. The reason being that, there is a foreign key set on Table B that references table A. So any attempt to delete a row in table A without deleting the corresponding row from B, throws an error.

I have to write Trigger for Update,

How to Write a Trigger on Main Table. As we have Inserted and Deleted Tables through which we can find Values, We dont have any Table for UPDATED Values.
Help me.
General Problem
Triggers - Is This Possible?
Jun 15, 2007I need to create a set of rows every time a new row is inserted into a table.
Example (I think this would work)...
select @insertedId = column1 from insertedselect @id = column1 from table1 where column2 in (select column1 from table2 where column2 = @insertedId)insert into table3 values(x, y, @id)
Is it possible to do the same kind of thing in a situation where the select statement returns multiple values and execute the insert statement for each of these values?
Also, if table3 was in fact the table on which the trigger acts, would it then be executed for every row created by the trigger?
Sorry if I sound confused. I am.

May 9, 2004Hi All,
I'm using triggers to handle my transaction log to cature inserts and updates. It works fine except if the user clicks on the Save button more than once, the trigger is fired and the record is written to the log even if the record wasn't changed. Does anyone know how to check if the record was actually changed so that it isn't written to the table if it wasn't?
Thank you,
Mike
SQL Triggers
Jun 17, 2004When I execute a stored proc from my asp.net page, will the results of a trigger be returned to my program?
For instance say my stored proc is:
Update Employees set
(Lastname = @Lastname)
where ID = @ID
And my trigger is:
CREATE TRIGGER tr_Employees_U on Employees FOR UPDATE AS
IF UPDATE(lastname)
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('cannot change lastname', 16, 1)
ROLLBACK TRAN
RETURN
END
GO
It seems like since this is an AFTER trigger that my webpage would actually get a valid return code from my stored procedure however the trigger would rollback those changes correct? Or would the trigger get fired and send it's return code to my webpage?

Dec 4, 2001l'm trying to build a trigger on a table. The reason for the trigger is to check a certain field for the first three characters if it has ie abc it must update another field in this case loanbook to newabc.How do l write the trigger so that it also check if exists and perform the updates. Please help its Urgent. l've listed the trigger below.
CREATE TRIGGER UpdTest_TRGData
ON Test_TRG
FOR insert,Update AS
IF left('Loan_No',3)='ABC'
update Test_TRG
set loanbook = 'NEWABC'
else
IF left('Loan_No',3)='DEF'
update Test_TRG set
loanbook = 'NEWDEF'
where loanbook is null
else
update Test_TRG
set loanbook =left('Loan_No',3)
where loanbook is null

Dec 5, 2001I'm a bit confused on this bit please elaborate : " FROM Test_TRG t INNER JOIN inserted i ON t.PK = i.PK ".
The PK is on which field? Basically this trigger should ensure that on insertion of o new loan if
The left(loan_no,3)=MCG and its null then NEWMCG
left(loan_no,3)=MCG and its null then NEWMCG
left(loan_no,3)=KVS and its null then NEWKVS
left(loan_no,3)=MFS and its null then MFS
left(loan_no,3)=TCR and its null then TCR
left(loan_no,3)=ABL and its null then ABL
Listed below is what l've tried to do but l'm missing the PK part.Otherwise everything else you explained
in the script is clear. Thanks man its urgent. When l parse the query its fine , but When l run it
l get an error.
CREATE TRIGGER UpdTest_TRGData
ON Test_TRG
FOR INSERT, UPDATE
AS
UPDATE Test_TRG
SET LoanBook = CASE WHEN LEFT( i.Loan_No, 3 ) = 'MCG' THEN 'NewMCG'
WHEN LEFT( i.Loan_No, 3 ) = 'KVS' AND i.LoanBook IS NULL THEN 'NewKVS'
WHEN LEFT( i.Loan_No, 3 ) = 'MFS' AND i.LoanBook IS NULL THEN 'MFS'
WHEN LEFT( i.Loan_No, 3 ) = 'ABL' AND i.LoanBook IS NULL THEN 'ABL'
WHEN i.LoanBook IS NULL THEN LEFT( i.Loan_No, 3 )

Aug 3, 2001Hey everyone...
I'm working on trying to figure out how to update the child table from the parent via a trigger. This works fine as long as the value is in the child table. If it's not, then I get my foreign key violation. So, My next thought was to simply put in a begin tran / rollback tran within the trigger... My question is this : If I have multiple triggers on the parent table all based on the update of the key field (and the child tables... some 7 of them) all have FK's, if I rollback one trigger does it rollback the entire transaction? Or just the functionality of that trigger? From what I've read, it appears as if it's the entire transaction... if so, how do I get a trigger to 'ignore' itself or not fire based on a select criteria that i have within that same trigger...
Thank you...

Oct 24, 2001I just tried creating my first trigger and I'm a little bit confused. I am trying to see if certain fields have changed and will do that by checking the values of the fields in the "master" table and the "Inserted" table. I wasn't sure which table would have the old data and which would have the new, so I created the following trigger to help me determine which was which:
CREATE Trigger upd_cost_master On tbl_cost_master
For Insert, Update As
Declare @U_Name varchar(65)
Declare @O_Name varchar(65)
Select @U_Name=I.submitted_by, @O_Name=O.submitted_by
From tbl_cost_master O Inner Join Inserted I On O.autokey = I.autokey
Print 'Inserted: ' + @U_Name
Print 'tbl_cost_master: ' + @O_Name
Commit Tran
To my surprise, @U_Name and @O_Name contained the same values. I though that one table contained the old values and one contained the new. Was I wrong? If so, is there anyway to compare the Old and New values through a trigger?

Jul 20, 2000Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0. I have an insert trigger on table t05r. I populate table t05r with a DTS package. The trigger is supposed to add the record which was inserted into t05r, into t39r. After I run the DTS package to populate t05r, I checked t39r and no records where added. What is going wrong? Is it that DTS uses bulk copy and triggers don't fire on bulk copy?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
