Question

I have two tables in my database

Coupon Table

• id (int)
• Name (nvarchar(max))
• NoofUses (int)

Coup

Answer 1

Try the following snippet. You can call the the below stored procedure from your application, so that NoOfUses in the coupon table will be updated.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_UpdateCouponCount]
AS

Declare     @couponCount int,
            @CouponName nvarchar(50),
            @couponIdFromQuery int


Declare curP cursor For

  select COUNT(*) as totalcount , Name as name,couponuse.couponid  as couponid from Coupon as coupon 
  join CouponUse as couponuse on coupon.id = couponuse.couponid
  where couponuse.id=@cuponId
  group by couponuse.couponid , coupon.Name

OPEN curP 
Fetch Next From curP Into @couponCount, @CouponName,@couponIdFromQuery

While @@Fetch_Status = 0 Begin

    print @couponCount
    print @CouponName

    update Coupon SET NoofUses=@couponCount
    where couponuse.id=@couponIdFromQuery


Fetch Next From curP Into @couponCount, @CouponName,@couponIdFromQuery

End -- End of Fetch

Close curP
Deallocate curP

Hope this helps!
