Correlated Subqueries in a HAVING Clause

Posted on June 30, 2008February 9, 2011 by slowder

Using sub queries in the HAVING clause is little different than using a sub query in any other part of the clause. The one thing that may through you is the WHERE clause inside the sub query… it acts as a JOIN criteria, so you might not get the placement right, until you’ve done it…

UPDATE Triggers

Posted on June 27, 2008February 9, 2011 by slowder

Last time we discussed triggers, we covered insert triggers. This time we’re doing UPDATE triggers. All the same rules apply to UPDATE triggers that apply to INSERT triggers. CREATE TRIGGER t_tablename_update ON TableName AFTER|FOR|INSTEAD OF UPDATE AS T-SQL code Just like for the INSERT TRIGGER, we can either run the T-SQL code after the update…

Correlated Subqueries

Posted on June 9, 2008April 12, 2011 by slowder

The fundamental idea behind sub queries is you execute the sub query once, then take the value(s) from that sub query and substitute them in place of the sub query for the outer query. That’s quite a mouthful. Just think of it like this, the database engine will run the inner query, then replace the…

Error Number

Posted on June 2, 2008April 12, 2011 by slowder

Every error generated in Microsoft SQL has a specific number, this number should uniquely identify the error that has occurred. This can be useful in building logic on what to do when a certain error is raised since creating a logic test for a number is far quicker than generating one for a string. Let’s…
