[dba-SQLServer]More SQL Server 7 Stored Procedure help if possible

: Anyone have any idea how to do this within one Stored Procedure (or is it
possible in a single Stored Procedure.....???
Yes ;o)

: I would be grateful fr any sample code etc...
awright, but only cuz you'd be grateful ;o), [Wednesday... and I need my SOF
(soldier of fortune II) kick.]
I'm going to ASSuME that the payroll is the identity key for this table, or
the identifying key for this table...

CREATE PROCEDURE stp_UpdateAvailability (@PayrollNo as Int) AS
UPDATE tblAvailabilityAll
    SET Availability Code = CASE AvailabilityCode
                                            WHEN A THEN 1
                                            WHEN N THEN 2
                                            WHEN S THEN 3
                                            WHEN H THEN 4
                                        ELSE AvailabilityCode --othewise
just leave as is.
FROM tblAvailabilityAll
Where PayrollNo = @PayrollNo AND IsNumeric(AvailabilityCode) = 0

You mentioned that you are a novice.... and perhaps you know this.. but I'll
say it anyway...
**NEVER RUN TEST PROCEDURES ON A PRODUCTION SERVER!!!, ALWAYS USE A TEST
SERVER**
the license for a developer copy of Sql is about $500 so you can install SQL
Server on your desktop, this will help you out a lot in that you can
practice your backup/restore procedures and double-check your backups.

: To all,
:
: If you read my first email regarding Stored Procedure's you will know that
I am quite a novice at the moment.  I have a table called tblAvailabilityAll
which contains fields PayrollNo and an AvailabilityCode.  The Availability
codes are A,N,S,H and when an employee leaves, in the first instance we need
to update A,N,S,H to 1,2,3,4 accordingly.
