and added ADO.net you would have found numerous examples and articles explaining how to achieve your connection. You should at least read a book on your subject and work through some examples. You cannot learn your basics from forum questions.

I have a case statement. I want to save the case value in a variable so that I can use the variable later in the stored procedure.
Ex:
case when Flag = 'Y' then CONVERT(varchar(10), (LastDate), 120) end as @var1,
case when @var1 = ... then ..... end
Please help

SET @VariableName = CASE Flag When 'Y' then etc...
or
select @VariableName = CASE Flag When 'Y' then etc...

the Stored proc is as follows:
select empno, datejoined,
case when Flag = 'Y' then CONVERT(varchar(10), (LastDate), 120) end as @var1,
case when @var1 = ... then ..... end
from tableemp

You are combining a select query and an assignment query, not allowed!
You need to nest your case statements as you need to test the case for each record, variable assignment is a once only operation (using a cursor spit would allow you to do the record by record processing).
This example test the value of flag but note that it must know what to expect in the nested case, your ... cannot be a random date, it must be a testable value!
SELECT Records,
CASE Flag WHEN 'FX' THEN CASE Records WHEN 0 THEN 'Failed' ELSE 'Ok' END
WHEN 'MM' THEN CASE Records WHEN 0 THEN 'Failed' ELSE 'Ok' END
WHEN 'TZ' THEN CASE Records WHEN 0 THEN 'Failed' ELSE 'Ok' END END
FROM ProcessLog PL

I'm trying to find the answer to this question.
Let's say you have a MSSQL database which has a table with an auto-incremented field. If I have a Sql transaction sent to the server (through code) that does an insert into that table and the transaction fails (and does a rollback) will the current ID be lost or not?
When does it generate the new ID? At transaction start or finish?
Ex: table1 has column ID as auto-increment. the current ID is 100. If I send a transaction with an insert does is reserve the ID 101 and loose it if the transaction fails with rollback, meaning next ID would be 102? Or will it take the ID 101 only if the transaction commits successfully?
thanks

Not important.
The point with autoincrementation is that your key field has unique values, and gaps in the sequence does not matter.
And if it matters, you should probably rethink your design.

That's pretty rude: he gave you an answer.

Rude? If I didn't need the answer I wouldn't have asked the question.

Maybe we can chalk this down to a lost in translation but what Jorgen said is correct.
Identity columns allow you to assign a unqiue value to each row. It doesn't get reset to the previous value if you rollback the transaction.
If you require no gaps in your keys then you will need to think of a different approach.

Now you're just being a twat. He gave you an answer. You should have just moved on. What's the incentive for anyone else to help you in the future if they think you'll just be rude if you don't like the answer.

I did move on. Until someone gave an answer to my question which was all i needed to know.
Why do some people think that a question must always be answered with with an assumption that everything you do is wrong and you should change your thinking according to theirs? Did any of you even bothered to ask why I needed the answer to that question? (except the 2 straight to the point answers - thanks again). No you didn't. You just assumed it is something vital to what I do and you advised me to change my logic.
So to sum it up and end this hopefully:
- i got the answer I needed which is great
- i was looking for an answer and not a solution
- the mayans were wrong about the world end (along with whoever misunderstood what they were trying to say)
- check above fact and see if you find any analogy with this now turning into a flame thread
Thanks

..because we never use the value of an identity field; it does not (EVER) hold information. Asking what the number is indicates that you might indeed have a design-problem, and that might lead to problems in the long run.
It's called free advice, and sometimes comes unsollicited.

Same goes for taxes, but the fact they have a single thing in common doesn't make them comparable.
This is "normal behaviour" when asking an expert for advice. Ask a builder how to build on quicksand. You can expect an answer, and a warning. You can ask the doctor to remove your lungs - and get an answer and a warning. Same goes here.
Even when being paid for the job, I will not shut up whn someone is making a mistake that could cost them dearly. I´m not that much of an ass yet

No you didn't: you were rude which is uncalled for. You should have ignored it. Now you have just shown that you are an arrogant, ungrateful smart-ass. Good luck with getting any more help.

Contrarywise; you don't need to know and yet you asked anyway.

Mind-reading is a great feature to have. This way you know what I want better than me... oh wait; you don't and yet you assumed otherwise anyway

Why don't you just try it and find out for sure instead of being rude to people trying to help.

INSERT something INTO table
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION

I do know, and I did tell you to rethink your design.
If you had used Oracle it would have been much worse, Oracle cache the sequences, so if you restart the server you can get a gap of twenty numbers. and if you have a cluster server they won't even be in order.

The new IDENTITY value is generated when a row insert is initiated and will update the table's current identity value even when the transaction is rolled back. In simple terms, it would behave as if no rollback happened.

Thanks guys. Exactly what I needed to find out.
