Hello all,

I have a table named EmpTab. I have few records in it.

I want to update some of those records at once that is when Save buttons is clicked then the few records must be updated. The whole table (all records are splitted in many web forms) it means page 1 contains 1-6 records to update, page 2 contains 7-10 records to update.

So how multiple records can be updated with different values by a single page on button's click event.

Table structure is like this

Id SettingName Value

SettingName contains the setting name, and value contains the actual value.

Please help me, I am stuck on it for many days...

Hi there

you can't update a set of records with different conditions at once

update each row:

Update tbl1 set x = 'a' where id=1
Update tbl1 set x = 'b' where id=2
Update tbl1 set x = 'c' where id=3


batch update:
update tbl1 set x = 'y' where date > '2010-10-10'

isn't is possible with case?
Thanks

Here is what you should do instead:

UPDATE categories
SET display_order = CASE id
WHEN 1 THEN 3
WHEN 2 THEN 4
WHEN 3 THEN 5
END
WHERE id IN (1,2,3)

Hi,
I found that link very early that is why I asked about case. But I am stuck on how I pass the multiple records to some function (stored procedure) that are to be updated.
Thanks...

Please anybody give suggestions.

I want to update multiple rows at once not the multiple columns.
Thanks

Why not simply execute the stored procedure multiple times? Or use a DataSet and update the values and save them. Or use EF which handles all of this pretty nicely.....

Greetings Imar,

if I am not wrong then won't it hit database multiple times?

how EF can do this, would it handle multiple rows or multiple columns?

My scenario is:
Table Structure: Id SettingName Value
Now values in table are as follows

1 CommentsAllowed No(0)
2 SentEmailAfterComment Yes(1)
3 CommentsPerPage 10
4 ReviewsPerPage 5
5 ShowNonAuthReviews No(0)

etc....

So if in a web form I want to update first 3 rows and on second web form I want to update last 2 rows, then is it possible with EF?

Please reply
Thanks

Hi Sophia

EF does not apply changes as done. when you use ef_instance.SubmitChanges() then updated records will be updated in Database. this is because of when you change a property value of some model instance, INotifyPropertyChanging and INotifyPropertyChanged interface implemented class (EF) marks the model to be updated when SubmitChanges is called.
so you can updated multiple rows at once. I thought that you want to do it only by StoredProcedure

Can you please give some sample code from getting values from server controls (textbox & checkbox etc) from web form to passing these values to stores procedures and save them?

Please help.
Thanks
