batching an update, use TRANSACTION?

I have a storedproc that does several UPDATEs to a table, some of which fire
and some of which don't based on various IFs through the proc. There's a
maximum f three, it's not THAT complex.
However there is a trigger on the table that records all UPDATEs into a
separate auditing log. I would like there to be only one trigger fire
regardless if one, two or three of the UPDATEs were called.
Does TRANSACTION do this? I do _not_ want to turn off the triggers in the
proc.
MauryIf I understand you correctly, TRANSACTION will not do it. Can you put in
some logic in your trigger to check whether a previous UPDATE has already
fired the trigger?

I guess, but only with peril.

Can I perhaps wrap the individual fields of the update in some sort of
conditional, and thereby combine them into one larger statement? Everything
is already loaded into local vars.

Batching a cmd

Hi,
I'd like to do a daily backup of my db using windows programmed task and
running the following batch file:
sqlcmd -S server\db_Express -U username -P password
BACKUP DATABASE [dbSQL] TO DISK = N'D:\db05\dbSQL' WITH NOFORMAT, INIT,
NAME = N'dbSQL-Complite backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
declare @.backupSetId as int
select @.backupSetId = position from msdb..backupset where
database_name=N'dbSQL' and backup_set_id=(select max(backup_set_id) from
msdb..backupset where database_name=N'dbSQL' )
if @.backupSetId is null begin raiserror(N'Error de comprobacin. No se
encuentra la informacin de copia de seguridad para la base de datos
''dbSQL''.', 16, 1) end
RESTORE VERIFYONLY FROM DISK = N'D:\db05\dbSQL' WITH FILE = @.backupSetId,
NOUNLOAD, NOREWIND
GO
exit
but the batch file hangs at exit and doesn't close the session.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA

This is because you have not specified the script source for the SQLCMD
utility so it is running in interactive mode. With a long script and/or
multiple batches, you can save the script to a file and specify the script
file path via the -i argument. For example:
sqlcmd -S server\db_Express -U username -P password -i
"C:\Scripts\MyBackupScript.sql"
See the Books online
(ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/sqlcmpt9/html/e1728707-5215-4c04-8320-e36f161b834a.htm)
for SQLCMD argument details.
Hope this helps.
