I have a scenario where clients enter data into a MSDE local database on
their laptop. I would like to add a trigger on that table that fires only
on the Server (SQL2K Ent.) when they are synchronizing when a new records
has been inserted. By looking at the Merge trigger automaticcaly generated
on the table, I found something interesting:
"if sessionproperty('replication_agent') = 1 and (select
trigger_nestlevel()) = 1"
Therfore, I've created my trigger like the following:
Create Trigger tg_Inserted On tblBlaBla FOR INSERT
AS
if not sessionproperty('replication_agent') = 1
return
Insert Into tblTest (Account_Code, Product_Code, DateCreation)
Select ins.Account_code, ins.Product_Code, GetDate()
From Inserted As Ins
I've done some test and everything works fine. However, before putting this
in Production, I was wondering if I absolutely need to put the "Select
trigger_nestlevel() ..." or not. I've read in the newsgroups and some are
saying you need to, some are saying you don't need to... Since it is a very
well documented feature, can anyone confirm me the proper way of doing this?
That would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Nest level check allows to avoid ping-pong traffic from subscriber to
publisher and vice versa
But in your case that should matter only if you are also replicating table
tblTest

|||I think it is to prevent recursive triggers from causing duplicate entries
in msmerge_contents. I could be wrong here.
