Hi! everybody

I have two tables in my data base. One table that keeps track of indian communities and the other table that keeps track of its community members. Each indian community is identified by a 3 digit number in the community table, And each community member is identified by a 10 digit number in the membership table. Here is what I would like to to. I would like to have the database check that the first 3 digits starting from the left to right of each community members number to make sure it matches with an indian community number in the community table before posting it in the database.

Hi,

You can write a stored procedure for inserting a record into a database.
Call the following function in order to check the 10 digit number in the membership table.

e.g.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 Create Function CheckId(@MainId varchar)

returns int

as

Begin

        Declare @v_subId varchar(3);

        Declare @v_Id varchar(3);
 
        --Get SubId from main Id.Here you will get first 3 characters of the string.

        Select @v_subId =Substring(@MainId,1,3)
 
         --check that if above Id exists in the communitytable

        Select @v_Id = Id from  communitytable Where Id is like @v_subId 

        If  @v_newId Is Not NULL 

        BEGIN

            Return 1

        END 

        ELSE

           BEGIN

            Return 0

        END 
 
End
