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

sp_getapplock will ensure that the transaction has an exclusive lock. The updates and reads will commit before the next thread can use it, so there cannot be any dirty reads.

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO

    ALTER procedure GetNextCerealIdentity(@NextKey int output,@TableID int)
    AS
    declare @RowCount int, @Err int
    set nocount on
    select  @NextKey = 0
    begin transaction
   --ADDED CODE
    EXEC sp_getapplock @Resource='MyLock', @LockMode='Exclusive'
                , @LockOwner='Transaction', @LockTimeout = 15000
    Again:
    /*Update CfgCerealNumber Table */
    UPDATE CfgCerealNumber Set CerealNumber = CerealNumber + 1  WHERE CerealNumberID = @TableID
    select  @RowCount = @@RowCount, @Err = @@Error      /*Obtain updated Cereal number previously incremented*/

    if @Err <> 0                            /* If Error gets here then exit         */
        begin                        
        raiserror ('GetNextCerealIDSeries Failed with Error: %d TableID: %d ', 
               16,1, @Err, @TableID)
                Rollback Transaction    
        set nocount off
        return 1
        end

    if @RowCount = 0                        /* No Record then assume table is not   */
                                    /* been initialized for TableID Supplied*/
        begin
        raiserror ('No Table Record Exists in CfgCerealNumber for ID:%d   ', 
                      16,1, @TableID)
        set nocount off
                Rollback Transaction
        return 1
        end

    /*Obtain updated Cereal number previously incremented*/
    SELECT @NextKey = CerealNumber 
     From CfgCerealNumber WHERE CerealNumberID = @TableID

    select   @Err = @@Error                     /*Obtain updated Cereal number previously incremented*/

    if @Err <> 0                            /* If Error gets here then exit         */
        begin                        
        raiserror ('GetNextCerealIDSeries Failed with Error: %d TableID: %d ', 
               16,1, @Err, @TableID)
                Rollback Transaction    
        set nocount off
        return 1
        end

    commit transaction
    set nocount off
    return 0
