Question

I need to create a procedure that will store data into 3 tables, while using data from each table to reference the rest.

E.g.: I am creating a team challenge database. This will allow a person to challenge another, setup who will be in each others teams, then store in into a database.

I have a primary table which stores the matchId, initiatorName, teamOneListId and teamTwoListId.

• TeamOneList: ID, memberID, TeamName
• TeamTwoList: ID, memberID, TeamName

As you can see, I need to add data into all of them at once (While having the team size and limits vary for 1v1, 3v3 etc).

I am using C# Asp.Net, and am well-versed in Transactions. I am just not too clued up in databasing.

EDIT: Wrote this at the end of a long hard day.
The question is, what would be the simplest way or method of going about this?

I’ve tried to mess around with the stored procedure, I can forward identities to the different tables, but it seems I still have to create a new stored procedure for both teams, and for every type of event.

The only way I could get the aforementioned working was to start a match, get the last row’s information, and forward that to a second page binding the rest of the 2 teams information into the database.

So to reiterate, I need to know how to do all this at once, or have a way of not simply getting the last row (that might be wrong?).

You can try with SqlDataAdapter class

Link : http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqldataadapter(v=vs.80).aspx

var connection = new SqlConnection("...");//You can adjust your string connection
var adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();

// Create the SelectCommand.
var command = new SqlCommand("YourSelectStoredProcedure", connection); //You can adjust your name of stored procedure
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
adapter.SelectCommand = command;

// Create the InsertCommand.
command = new SqlCommand("YourInsertStoredProcedure", connection); //You can adjust your name of stored procedure
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
adapter.InsertCommand = command;
