insert record

NuB
I have an app that inserts records into a SQL db, I have a file that I'm
reading to get the data out of, aka 'records', how can I determine of the
record has been inserted into the database so i can log that?

NuB,

Well, do the records have some sort of unique identifier for them (a
primary key, or combination of fields that indicates that it is unique)? If
so, then you can select the record from the table beforehand. If that
record exists already, then you can log (to wherever you log to) that fact
and not bother inserting the record.

Hope this helps.

No, i'm just inserting new records from a text file every time the app runs.
So if the insert piece was successfull or not i need to some how get that
value and write it out to a log file.

NuB,

Well, if you execute your command or your data adapter (whichever you
are using to insert the record) and it executes without exception, then I
would say it succeeded. Also, the command object should be able to tell you
how many records were affected by the statement you executed.

The meaning of REPLACE INTO is clear to me. IF the new record presents new key values, then it is inserted as a new record. IF the new record has key values that match a pre-existing record, then the key violation is ignored and the new record *replaces* the pre-existing record. But what about INSERT IGNORE? Is this a synonym for REPLACE INTO - i.e. it does precisely the same thing?

This is like the bug from hell. It is kind of hard to explain, so please bear with me. Background Info: SQL Server 7.0, on an NT box, Active Server pages with Javascript, using ADO objects. I'm inserting simple records into a table. But one insert command is placing 2 or 3 records into the table. The 'extra' records, have the same data as the previous insert incident, (except for the timestamp).

Greetings, I'm having a very strange problem in an AC97 MDB with ODBC Linked tables to SQL Server 7. The table has an Identity field and a Timestamp field.

Hello, I have created 3 functions to insert, update and delete an Access database record. The Insert and the Delete code are working fine. The update is not. I checked and my database has all the necessary records in it when testing it. I get the error "No value given for one or more required parameters." when I try to update the database. Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Suppose, in a multi-user environment, you have append query SQL in a VBA procedure that looks like INSERT INTO MyTable... and the next line reads MyVar=DMax("","MyTable... You can never be certain that MyVar will be set to the key-field value that was created when the Append query ran. Now, there are other ways to do it - I know - that will ensure you 'nab' the correct record. But I was wondering
