Alright, probably a simple situation. In my database, i have seven tables. When a new record is added to the db, it is added to the "Servers" database. The columns in there are only three "AutoID" and INT, primary key, autonumbered. "Servers", varchar 50, "PersonAdding" Varchar 50, and "DateAdded" Datetime. If someone adds a new record to this table, i need another table, "MainServerInfo" in the same db, to automatically receive a new record, with the same AutoID from the Servers table to go into the AutoID (the PK) in MainServerInfo, and i need the "Servers" column value for the new entry to be inserted into the Servername column for that row in MainServerInfo.what's the best way for this to happen and, since i've never written a trigger before, how would the coding look.thanks |

Would be like this:CREATE TRIGGER ATriggerNameON dbo.ServersTableAFTER INSERTAS INSERT INTO MainServerInfo (AutoId, ServersColumn) SELECT AutoId,ServersColumn FROM INSERTED;GO Don't you also need to do something if the data in the Servers table is updated or deleted? |

Thanks, and no. Because in this case, the data is never deleted and the data in the servers table is never updated. All the other child tables get the updates and those updates are not dependent on each other. |
