How to check if value is inserted successfully or not?

Question

I have a procedure where I insert values into my table.

declare @fName varchar(50),@lName varchar(50),@check tinyint
INSERT INTO myTbl(fName,lName) values(@fName         


        

Answer 1

You need to use @@ROWCOUNT

It returns the number of rows affected by the last statement. If the number of rows is more than 2 billion, use ROWCOUNT_BIG.

@@ROWCOUNT is both scope and connection safe.

In fact, it reads only the last statement row count for that connection and scope.

It’s safe to use @@ROWCOUNT in SQL Server even when there is a trigger on the base table. The trigger will not skew your results; you’ll get what you expect. @@ROWCOUNT works correctly even when NOCOUNT is set.

so you query should be:

declare @fName varchar(50), @lName varchar(50), @check tinyint = 0
...
INSERT INTO myTbl(fName,lName) values(@fName,@lName)
if  @@ROWCOUNT>0   
  set @check = 1
