Basic question on SQL [modified]

Hello. I have a very basic question (at least for most of you pros out there Smile | :)

). Are stored procedures executed in isolation - meaning that, while one SP is being executed no other SP or query can execute on the same record.

More specifically I would like to know if there is a chance that during the execution of the below SP the value of @@ROWCOUNT can be changed on line 16 by another SP or query (in which case the below SP is under the risk of returning a wrong value).

 1: CREATE PROCEDURE ProductsUpdate
 2: (
 3:         @ProductID int,
 4:         @Name varchar(40),
 5:         @Concurrency timestamp
 6: )
 7: AS
 8:     UPDATE
10:         Products
11:     SET
12:         ProductName = @Name
13:     WHERE
14:         ProductID = @productID AND
15:         Concurrency = @Concurrency
16:     -- Is it possible to have another SP or query change @@ROWCOUNT at this point?
17:     return @@ROWCOUNT

Also I was wondering about the same question but with generic queries, like below:

1: UPDATE
2:     Products
3: SET
4:     ProductName = @Name
5: WHERE
6:     ProductID = @productID AND
7:     Concurrency = @Concurrency;
8: -- Can any other query or SP get in here and alter @@ROWCOUNT?
8: SELECT @@ROWCOUNT

Thank you for your help Wink | ;)

Hi Niaher

The @@ROWCOUNT variable (and others like @@ERROR) are local to each database connection. Your stored procedure can use this to implement concurrency control.

Andy

Thank you. So what about a generic query with multiple statements, does it have a single connection? Can I use them to implement my concurrency control?

Yes you can use them for concurrency control. Which development language are you using?

Using C#. Btw I know it is a very controversial question, but what is a better choice performance-wise, a stored procedure or a dynamic query? In my case I will have not more than 15 tables and my goal is to support concurrecy in insert, update and delete logic, be it in SPs or dynamic queries.

You're right - it is a very controversial question Big Grin | :-D

Performance should be very similar for this type of logic - SQL-Server will cache query plans for both methods.

Stored procedures encourage:

Encapsulation of data-access logic - so you can substantially change the underlying SQL at a later date.
Better security - You can deny direct access to the database tables, and force all access via the stored procedure layer.
Reduced susceptablity to SQL-Injection attacks.

The downside is that you need to write more code, and many programmers don't like writing SQL.

I normally use Stored Procedures in my projects (because I tend to work for clients whose the coding standards dictate that they should be used). I normally write code generators to do the boring stuff for me.

IF you are able to execute the DTS package manually using dtsrun.exe , then the problem relates to a bug addressed here

Then see the workaround methods in the clickity above!
