coverageId 1
rateId 1,2, 3, 4,
coverageId 2,
rateId 1, 2, 3

Insert above into a table LocationRate that has
LovCovRateId, identity field,
LocationId
coverageId
rateId

I have to first select coverages for each location from another table
(select coverageId from locationInfo table)

Then refer to a rate table to get the rates for each coverageid (Select rateId from rates where coverageId = (select coverageId from LocInformation table where locationId = @locationId)

then get those rateId’s for each coverage Id’s and insert all the relevant coverageId AND their RateId’s into the LocationRate table.
So here there is a case of two scenarios of muliple inserts, muliple coverages and for each coverage muliple rateId’s

Pinal, I always look for solutions given by you, I feel you can help me on this, Any help will be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

One solution if you are still in designing phase, Add Last_updated_Time column to your table and assign a default value of getdate().

By this way, you can know what is the last value that was inserted into the table based on the datetime column.

Or you can also an Identity column that will give you lastest inserted record.

Regarding Second Question.

Locking a record in a table.

This is just a summary for you to start, please refer books online for in depth knowledge…

SQL Server applies Shared / Exclusive locks when dealing with records in a table.

Exclusive lock: SQL Server puts a Exclusive lock on the table when a user updates / inserts a record into a table.

Shared Lock: SQL Server puts a Exclusive lock on the table when a user reads data from a table.

Shared lock is compatible with other shared Locks, meaning multiple reads can happen simultaneously on a table.

Exclusive lock is not compatible with Shared Lock, meaning if SQL Server puts a Exclusive Lock on a table, No other connection can read data from that table.

But still, there could be scenarios, where it is possible to read dirty data, lose updates, phantom data…. To overcome all these cases, You need to apply proper Isolation level before you initiate any transaction.

I strongly Suggest you read the topic, ISOLATION LEVELS in SQL SERVER 2005.

This topic has been explained very well in simple words with example in below weblink:

Pinal has an article on three emthods here: http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/03/25/sql-server-identity-vs-scope_identity-vs-ident_current-retrieve-last-inserted-identity-of-record/

The OUTPUT clause is mentioned here: http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/03/24/sql-server-2008-scope_identity-bug-with-multi-processor-parallel-plan-and-solution/

Personally, i use the OUTPUT clause.

INSERT INTO TableNew(
column1,
column2,
column3
)
SELECT
1,
xmlcontent.value(‘ column1[1]‘,’VARCHAR(200)’) column1,
xmlcontent.value(‘ column2[1]‘,’BIT’) column2
FROM @xmlData.nodes(‘//Table1′) AS R ( xmlcontent )

SELECT IDENT_CURRENT(‘TableNew’)

In SQL Server 2008, that syntax should work. Prior to that version, a VALUES statement can only INSERT one record at a time.

So, there are two options:

insert into DEPT(DNO) VALUES (1);
insert into DEPT(DNO) VALUES (2);
insert into DEPT(DNO) VALUES (3);

Or:

insert into DEPT(DNO)
SELECT 1 UNION ALL
SELECT 2 UNION ALL
SELECT 3;

I WROTE

insert into DEPT(DNO) VALUES (1), (2) , (3);

AND ERROR SHOW:-

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 80
Incorrect syntax near ‘,’.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT CAN I DO ,SYNTEX IS RIGHT BT DOES NOT WORK

Which part is dynamic? Is this a T-SQL script?

I don’t understand the question. What exactly is the problem?

ie
a=5;
b=10;
c=15;

INSERT INTO per(a,b,c) VALUES(‘a’,'b’,'c’)

how to insert more data(for ex 10 mb) in sql serverr

Insert into table_name(col_name1, col_name2)
values ((select column_name from table_name1 where id = ‘29′) union (select column_name from table_name2 where id = ‘3′))

please give me a solution…

i tried it. it works. Thanx!!

INSERT INTO table1(col1, col2, col3, col4)
SELECT col1, col2, col3, @global_var FROM table2;
