Detecting dirty reads from a stored procedure

Question

I\'ve got 100 threads that are each calling the stored procedure as defined below.

How do I prevent dirty reads?

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
SET ANSI_NULLS         


        

Answer 1

You can avoid the problem by using the @variable = column = expression syntax as described in the Books Online. Also, since the statement executes in an single-statement automatic transaction, you can avoid explicit transaction.

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON;
SET ANSI_NULLS ON;
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE GetNextSerialIdentity
      @NextKey int output
    , @TableID int
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;

UPDATE dbo.CfgSerialNumber
SET @NextKey = SerialNumber = SerialNumber + 1
WHERE SerialNumberID = @TableID;

IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0
BEGIN
RAISERROR ('No Table Record Exists in CfgCerealNumber for ID:%d   ', 
                  16,1, @TableID);
END
GO
