What is RDBMS?

Relational Data Base Management Systems (RDBMS) are database management systems that maintain
data records and indices in tables. Relationships may be created and maintained across and among the
data and tables. In a relational database, relationships between data items are expressed by means of
tables. Interdependencies among these tables are expressed by data values rather than by pointers.
This allows a high degree of data independence. An RDBMS has the capability to recombine the data
items from different files, providing powerful tools for data usage

@@rowcount

@@rowcount is a global variable reports the number of affected rows in the most recently executed statement. Just like @@error you need to save it in a local variable if you want to use the value later, since @@rowcount is set after each statement. Since with SET you can only assign variable at a time, you must use SELECT if you need to save both @@error and @@rowcount into local variables: SELECT @err = @@error, @rowc = @@rowcount (For this reason, I prefer to always use SELECT for variable assignment, despite Microsoft's recommendations to use SET.) In T-SQL it is not an error if, for instance, an UPDATE statement did not affect any rows. But it can of course indicate an error in your application, as it could be an error if a SELECT returns more that one row. For these situations, you can check @@rowcount and raise an error and set a return value, if @@rowcount is not the expected value.

Reading lines from a file using SQL Server

Create the ReadFileAsTable stored procedure in your test database, and try it out with something like:   Select line from   Dbo . uftReadfileAsTable ( 'MyPath' , 'MyFileName' ) where line not like '#%' --where line doesnt begin with a hash Just fill in an existing file name and path to the file you wish to read, instead of ' MyPath ' and ' MyFileName ', and away you go. This is a method I use for reading web logs and gathering usage statistics. It is also useful where the data feed has to be validated before one can parse it into the final SQL data format. ----------- [dbo].[ReadfileAsTable] ------------- Create FUNCTION [dbo].[ReadfileAsTable] ( @Path VARCHAR(255), @Filename VARCHAR(100) ) RETURNS @File TABLE ( [LineNo] int identity(1,1), line varchar(8000)) AS BEGIN DECLARE @objFileSystem int ,@objTextStream int, @objErrorObject int, @strErrorMessage Varchar(1000),
