Count of inserted and updated rowcount in @@rowcount

Similarly I have created a sp which is inserting and updating the records.
Now I want to track the count of new record inserted and updated record in @@rowcount .
please suggest me the code .
below is my sp
alter Procedure SP_Archive_using_merge
AS
--exec SP_Archive
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @Source_RowCount int
Declare @New_RowCount int
DECLARE @TimeIn SMALLDATETIME
DECLARE @LatestVersion INT
SET NOCOUNT ON
---BBxKey and Hash value of all the source columns are derived in source query itself--
select @TimeIn=getdate(),@LatestVersion=1
MERGE Archive.dbo.ArchiveBBxCemxr AS stm
USING (
SELECT a.*,cast(SUBSTRING(a.Col001,1,10) as varchar(100)) BBxKey,
HashBytes('MD5', CAST(CHECKSUM(a.Col001,a.Col002,a.Col003,a.Col004,a.Col005,a.Col006,a.Col007) AS varbinary(max))) RowChecksum,
b.BBxKey as Archive_BBxKey, b.RowChecksum as Archive_RowChecksum

) AS sd 
ON sd.Archive_BBxKey = stm.BBxKey and sd.RowChecksum = stm.RowChecksum
WHEN MATCHED AND (stm.BBxKey = sd.Archive_BBxKey and stm.RowChecksum != sd.Archive_RowChecksum) THEN

You need to OUTPUT clause with action column to get the info into teable variable and then count from the table variable.
Try the below: (Not tested)
alter Procedure SP_Archive_using_merge
AS
--exec SP_Archive
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @Source_RowCount int
Declare @New_RowCount int
DECLARE @TimeIn SMALLDATETIME
DECLARE @LatestVersion INT
SET NOCOUNT ON
---BBxKey and Hash value of all the source columns are derived in source query itself--
select @TimeIn=getdate(),@LatestVersion=1
DECLARE @tableVariable TABLE (sAction VARCHAR(20), InsertedID INT, DeletedID INT)
MERGE Archive.dbo.ArchiveBBxCemxr AS stm
USING (
SELECT a.*,cast(SUBSTRING(a.Col001,1,10) as varchar(100)) BBxKey,
HashBytes('MD5', CAST(CHECKSUM(a.Col001,a.Col002,a.Col003,a.Col004,a.Col005,a.Col006,a.Col007) AS varbinary(max))) RowChecksum,
b.BBxKey as Archive_BBxKey, b.RowChecksum as Archive_RowChecksum
FROM dbo.ImportBBxCemxr a LEFT OUTER JOIN Archive.dbo.ArchiveBBxCemxr b
ON a.Col001 = b.BBxKey
Where (b.LatestVersion = 1 OR b.LatestVersion IS NULL) AND a.Col001 IS NOT NULL
) AS sd
ON sd.Archive_BBxKey = stm.BBxKey and sd.RowChecksum = stm.RowChecksum
WHEN MATCHED AND (stm.BBxKey = sd.Archive_BBxKey and stm.RowChecksum != sd.Archive_RowChecksum) THEN
UPDATE SET
stm.TimeIn = @TimeIn,
BBXKey=sd.BBXKey,
RowChecksum=sd.RowChecksum,
stm.Col001=sd.Col001,
stm.Col002=sd.Col002,
stm.Col003=sd.Col003,

stm.Col007=sd.Col007,
stm.LatestVersion=@LatestVersion
WHEN NOT MATCHED and (sd.Archive_BBxKey is null) THEN
Insert (TimeIn,BBXKey,RowChecksum,Col001,Col002,Col003,Col004,Col005,Col006,Col007,LatestVersion)
values(getdate(),sd.BBXKey,sd.RowChecksum,sd.Col001,sd.Col002,sd.Col003,sd.Col004,sd.Col005,sd.Col006,sd.Col007,@LatestVersion)

  • Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver

    Hi All,
    I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
    user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
    If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
    I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
    Interface Requirement
    FILE -
    > PI -
    > JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
    I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
    Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
    Thanks,

    Hi ,
              If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
    "If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
    Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ...  where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows  you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
      Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database.  A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server.   If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
    http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
    http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
    [ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
        Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213039(v=sql.80).aspx

    http://www.mollerus.net/tom/blog/2008/03/using_mssqls_nolock_for_faster_queries.html
        There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

    Whether the table gets looked or sholud i use some other trigger or loops ?
    someone suggest me how to edit this query for multiple update.
    Thanks
    sat33

    I called a procedure in in-insert and on-updateWhy are you writing this code in the first place? If you have a block based on an updatable view, just let Forms do the inserts and updates.
    If it's not an updatable view, use instead of triggers on the view.
    See this current thread too:

    You might be better off combining into your attack the use of user_dependencies. This will tell you what objects e.g., code is dependent on your table and then you can search the source of those modules for inserts and updates into the table. Even then you'll never be sure, especially if dynamic SQL is used as the statement may be pieced together from various bits if strings, as then user_dependencies won't contain the reference.

  • Not Properly Insert and Update in ODI interfaces

    Dear Brothers,
    The records are not inserting and updating even the CDC captured in the journal in one of my package. But, stopped and execute again then there is inserts and updates. I am not able to understand where the problem is. Can u suggest regarding the issue.

    Dear Bro,
    I am capturing CDC using consistent set. I am using (LKM SQL to DB2 UDB). While executing the package, the records are locked and extend window, but there is no inserts and updates into the database. It is throwing error as row index out of range while running the query. The query is running in Source Stage for ex. RTO_STAGE.JV$NUMGEN. query is triggering but records are not properly inserted and updated in the target.
    First time i saw in the CDC table, there was some 10 records available while executing no insert and update. Then, i stopped it and execute it again at that time i checked in the CDC table ie., the same table, but there was only 2 records available in CDC the old records were disappeared.
    I dont know the exact issue? My colleague is telling may be SNP tables not refreshing. Kindly suggest any solution.

  • Execution results (Merged instead of inserted and updated)

    I am doing UPDATE/INSERT on the target table. But in the execution results it just gives the rows inserted or updated combined in the merged column.
    Is there a way to get inserted and updated in appropriate columns.

    I have not tried this recently - but I know the MERGE statement wasn't introduced until Oracle 9i. If you CONFIGURE the oracle module the map is in, and change the PL/SQL generation mode from "Default" to "Oracle 8i", I think it'll change the SQL to use INSERTS and UPDATES instead of the MERGE, which should give you what you want.
    Warning though - this will change EVERY map in that module, and recompile using less efficient SQL. You might create a module just for the one map and set the generation mode for it, so that all the maps won't become less efficient.
    Then again, the easier way is probably to simply have both an UPDATE_DATE and CREATE_DATE on your target table...if they are the same it was an INSERT, if different it was an UPDATE.
    Hope this helps,
    Scott

  • Insert and update query to calculate the opening and closing balance

    Edited by: Boneist on 25-Sep-2009 13:56
    Thinking about it, why do you want to design your system like this?
    Why not simply have your purchases table hold the required information and then either work out the inventory on the fly, or have a job that calls a procedure to add a row for the previous day?
    If you continue with this design, you're opening yourself up to a world of pain - what happens when the data doesn't match the purchases table? Also when is the inventory cut-off to reset the opening/closing balances? Monthly? Annually? Weekly? If it's set to one of those, what happens when the business request the inventory for a particular week?

  • Help me in creating a Trigger for Insert and Update Options

    Hi
    Please help me in creating a Trigger .
    My requirement is that after insert or update on a Table , i want to fire an event .
    I have started this way ,but doesn't know how to fully implement this .
    say i have a dept table
    CREATE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
    AFTER INSERT ON Dept
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO mytable VALUES("123","Kiran");
    END DepartmentTrigger;
    Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .
    Thanks in advance .

    Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .Add "Or Update". ;-)
    Here are a few suggestions, but you definitely need to refer to the manual page that the previous poster suggested.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
    AFTER INSERT Or Update ON Dept
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(:new.Dept,'DEPT ADDED OR CHANGED');
    END DepartmentTrigger;
    The "Or Replace" means you can replace the trigger while you're developing without having to type in a drop statement every time. Just change and rerun your script, over and over until you get it right.
    Adding "Or Update" or "Or Delete" makes the trigger fire for those events too. Note, you may want seperate triggers in different scripts and with different names for each event. You have to decide if your design really does the same thing whether it's an insert or an update.
    :new.Dept is how you would refer to the changed vale of the Dept column (:old.Dept is the prior value). I changed the double quotes on the string in the VALUES clause to single quotes.
