I have two stored procedures one is to insert a record to the table, the other is to update one column of this record.

The insert one runs first, then I will run some other processes (including stored procedures used for other tables.) and finally I will run the update stored procedure to update the record as completed.

However, sometimes the update one cannot find the match (the one just inserted, I use some variables (one of them is in type datetime) that I passed to the insert stored procedure to find the record just inserted then to update. I have used a update trigger to find this reason.)

How can I make sure the data is already in the table before I run the update? do I need a while loop here?

    This isn’t asynchronous from the sounds of it, so you shouldn’t need to have your update script wait for the insert.

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding. However, what is sticking out to me is that you are saying that you are finding the row to update with datetime rather than its identity. If you have your insert proc return SCOPE_IDENTITY, then pass that to the update proc…it sounds like that should fix your problem where the update cannot find the right row.
