  • Hello Sir,

    I have written one C# windows application where in I am using SQLBulkCopy – but the target table has one insert trigger defined – I could manage to execute the trigger on bulk insert by employing SQLbulkCopyOptions.FireTrigger enumeration – but trigger executes after ALL records inserted – which is I DO NOT want – I want trigger should fire for individual record as if independent insert trigger – how do I do that?

    regards

    Jeet

    @Jeet,

    You can expect these kind of shocks when using Bulk Copy.

    I can tell you one work around, Dont know if this will work for you. When you are doing a SQLBulkCopy, why dont you do it in a global/local temporary table. Store all values into a temporary table and from that temporary table insert into your main table.

    Once you have data in temporary table, then you can do

    Insert into YourMainTable
    select * from #TemporaryTableName

    This should definitely fire your trigger for every record.

    Also, I had similar problem earlier with triggers, I was doing a insert into select * from, and trigger was firing for the last record, I thought its a bug in SQL Server, but the problem was with the trigger. Trigger was not properly written.

    Why dont you first check the trigger, run insert into YourTableName and select * from AnotherTableName see if trigger fires for every record.

    If you need help with this, Let us know.

  • Hi,

    This can be acheived by two methods:
    1. By synchronyzing the server with outlook and
    2. With some ADO coding to create connection to outlook.Application and SQL server.

    About first method get details at below page:

  • Hi Pinal,

    1). Is it possible to create a table using the XML schema file. If yes how? can you please help.

    2). I have a table which is created using OPENXML. how can we correlate the different columns (id, parentid,prev etc) to get the correct data.

    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance

      1) Yes, of course. You could try to write XSL template to generate SQL script from XML Schema and run it with custom application. Or you could write T/SQL procedure which builds SQL using XQuery/XPath and runs it with sp_executesql.

      But are you talking about XML Schema or some custom schema file? There’s some restrictions and limitations so if you could provide some snippet from your schema file I think I could help you more.

  • Hi Marko,

    Thnx for your suggestion.
    I am trying to import the file through OPENXML. I get stuck on how to provide the SCHEMADECLARAION in the “WITH” clause of OPENXML. I dont know the fields of the XML file so I can create the table in advance or pass the columns of the file in “WITH” clause.
    Is there something like, I pass the XML file and its Schema and it will automatically import the file (using XML). I want the whole process to be done only in T-SQL (so that I can create a procedure for importing any XML file to SQL tables.)

    Thanks in advance.

      Hi,

      I’m not sure if I understood correctly and I’ve never used OPENXML before but I came up with something like this.

      — This is the table that is created and where data is imported
      declare @TableName nvarchar(max)
      set @TableName = N’MyXMLTable’
      — Drop temp table if it exists
      IF NOT OBJECT_ID(‘tempdb..#xml_temp’) IS NULL DROP TABLE #xml_temp
      — Here we have the XML
      — This piece of code is taken from MSDN
      DECLARE @doc varchar(1000)
      SET @doc = ‘


      — Prepare the document and create a handle to it
      DECLARE @idoc int
      EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc OUTPUT, @doc
      — Select XML into temp table
      SELECT *
      INTO #xml_temp
      FROM OPENXML (@idoc, ‘/ROOT/Customer/Order/OrderDetail’, 2)
      WITH (
      CustomerID varchar(10) ‘../@CustomerID’,
      OrderDate datetime ‘../@OrderDate’,
      ProdID int ‘@ProductID’,
      Qty int ‘@Quantity’)
      — Build CREATE clause based on temp table’s schema
      declare @sql nvarchar(max)
      set @sql = N’CREATE TABLE [‘ + @TableName + N’] (‘
      select
      @sql = @sql + N'[‘ + c.name + N’] ‘ + ty.name +
      case
      when ty.name in (‘char’, ‘nchar’, ‘varchar’, ‘nvarchar’, ‘varbinary’) then N'(‘ + cast(c.max_length as nvarchar) + N’)’
      when ty.name in (‘decimal’, ‘numeric’) then ‘(‘ + cast(c.precision as nvarchar) + N’, ‘ + cast(c.scale as nvarchar) + N’)’
      else N”
      end +
      N’, ‘
      from tempdb.sys.columns c
      join sys.types ty on ty.system_type_id = c.system_type_id
      where c.object_id = object_id(‘tempdb..#xml_temp’)
      order by c.column_id
      — Execute dynamic CREATE clause
      set @sql = substring(@sql, 0, len(@sql) – 1) + ‘)’
      exec sp_executesql @sql
      — Copy data into newly created table from temp table
      set @sql = ‘INSERT INTO [‘ + @TableName + ‘] SELECT * FROM #xml_temp’
      exec sp_executesql @sql
      — Cleanup stuff
      — Select data out of new table
      set @sql = ‘SELECT * FROM [‘ + @TableName + ‘]’
      exec sp_executesql @sql
      — Drop it
      set @sql = ‘DROP TABLE [‘ + @TableName + ‘]’
      exec sp_executesql @sql
      — Finally drop the temp table
      DROP TABLE #xml_temp
