Question

Hi all I am new to functions so am having a bit starting trouble here

I have two tables like this

Bugs

BugID|Title|ProjectName|CreatedBy

BugHistory

BughistoryID|BugID|Assignedto|ToStatus|FromStatus

I want to write an insert stored procedure for the Bugs table where I will insert [Title]|[ProjectName] and [CreatedBy] into the bugs table and BugID has Identity and primary key.

After that, I have to insert the BugID of the new title and Tostatus into the BugHistory table. These two steps should be done in a single stored procedure.

I want a select statement where I have to show the bugs table in gridview with [AssignedTo] and [Tostatus] columns from BugHistory table. How can I use functions for this both procedure s any ideas please?

Answer 1

Try something like this:

-- create stored procedure to insert a new bug, with parameters
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.InsertBug 
    @Title VARCHAR(100),
    @ProjectName VARCHAR(100),
    @CreatedBy VARCHAR(100)
AS BEGIN

  -- variable to hold newly inserted "BugID"    
  DECLARE @NewBugID INT

  -- do the insert into the "Bugs" table      
  INSERT INTO dbo.Bugs(Title, ProjectName, CreatedBy)
  VALUES(@Title, @ProjectName, @CreatedBy)

  -- get the new BugID that's been assigned during INSERT      
  SELECT @NewBugID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()

  -- insert into the BugHistory table - since you didn't specify anything,
  -- I assumed the bug gets assigned to whoever created it by default,
  -- and I assumed "ToStatus" is a string column so I assigned "New" to it
  -- ADAPT as needed !
  INSERT INTO dbo.BUgHistory(BugID, AssignedTo, ToStatus)
  VALUES(@NewBugID, @CreatedBy, 'New')
END
