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.
