Hi, I have two tables Table-A must contains current data rows. Table-A-History must contains historical data whenever a new data row is available, update Table-A 's row and insert a new row into Table-A-History . This needs to be achieve without using trigger on table, but may be with help of stored proc Could anyone of you can help here

simply merge the tables create two tables (TableA) your main table and TableA_History your hostory table CREATE TABLE dbo.TableA (id INT , Column1 nvarchar(30)) CREATE TABLE dbo.TableA_History (id INT , Column1 nvarchar(30), TimeStamp DateTime) create the procedure to merge records when something changes on TableA create procedure ManageHistory as begin MERGE INTO dbo.TableA_History USING dbo.TableA ON TableA_History.id = TableA.id AND TableA_History.Column1 = TableA.Column1 WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN INSERT (id,Column1,TimeStamp) VALUES (TableA.id,TableA.Column1,GETDATE()) end call this procedure on your each transaction on TableA

I have modied the storeprocedures with uniqueidentifier to achieve this functionality, hope this will work for you: Insert Record: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[procAddTableA] @FName nvarchar(50), @LName nvarchar(50), @Address nvarchar(50) AS BEGIN DECLARE @GuidID AS uniqueidentifier = NEWID() INSERT INTO [dbo].[TableA]([GuidID],[FName],[LName],[Address], [RecordDate]) VALUES(@GuidID, @FName, @LName, @Address,GETDATE()) INSERT INTO [dbo].[TableAHistory]([GuidID],[FName],[LName],[Address], [RecordDate]) VALUES(@GuidID, @FName, @LName, @Address,GETDATE()) END Update Record: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[procUpdateTableA] @GUIDID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER, @FName nvarchar(50), @LName nvarchar(50), @Address nvarchar(50) AS BEGIN INSERT INTO TableAHistory SELECT * FROM TableA WHERE GuidID = @GUIDID UPDATE [dbo].[TableA] SET [FName] = @FName,[LName] = @LName,[Address] = @Address, ModifiedDate = GETDATE() WHERE GuidID = @GUIDID -- INSERT a New Rown in History --INSERT INTO [dbo].[TableAHistory]([ID],[FName],[LName],[Address]) VALUES(@ID, @FName, @LName, @Address) END Result: Insert Transaction-1: [dbo].[procAddTableA] 'Kerry', 'William', 'NY' Update Transaction-2: [dbo].[procUpdateTableA] '92505FE9-B574-4ECA-861C-6F2F5968F5A3', 'John', 'William', 'NY' Update Transaction-3: [dbo].[procUpdateTableA] '92505FE9-B574-4ECA-861C-6F2F5968F5A3', 'John', 'Velley', 'NY'

Muhammad Imran Ansari yes, but everytime I do not have to insert all rows but just the affected row e.g row 1 has changed 5 times today so to insert previous 4 rows into history and the latest will be in main table. currently to update and insert into target table ,I am using merge logic I have to achieve this how it will work when we write trigger on insert and update

Muhammad Imran Ansari · Answer

In the table [CompliancePolicyState] Id datatype is uniqueidentifier [GUID] and you can update the record in actual table [CompliancePolicyState] on the bases of Id columns. In CompliancePolicyState.Id is refence in CompliancePSHistory with columns CompliancePSHistory.CompliancePolicyStateId

You can achieve through store procedures. On add new record into Table-A then same time add data into Table-A History. On updating Table-A, to maintain history insert previous or new entry into Table-A History. I have create two store procedure for this: Add New Record: CREATE PROCEDURE procAddTableA @ID BIGINT, @FName nvarchar(50), @LName nvarchar(50), @Address nvarchar(50) AS BEGIN INSERT INTO [dbo].[TableA]([ID],[FName],[LName],[Address]) VALUES(@ID, @FName, @LName, @Address) INSERT INTO [dbo].[TableAHistory]([ID],[FName],[LName],[Address]) VALUES(@ID, @FName, @LName, @Address) END GO Update Record: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[procUpdateTableA] @ID BIGINT, @FName nvarchar(50), @LName nvarchar(50), @Address nvarchar(50) AS BEGIN -- INSERT History Before Update the with Current INSERT INTO TableAHistory SELECT * FROM TableA WHERE ID = @ID UPDATE [dbo].[TableA] SET [FName] = @FName,[LName] = @LName,[Address] = @Address WHERE ID = @ID -- INSERT History With New record After Update the --INSERT INTO [dbo].[TableAHistory]([ID],[FName],[LName],[Address]) VALUES(@ID, @FName, @LName, @Address) END You can change table structure accordingly.
