function help

Hi! everybody

I have two tables in my data base. One table that keeps track of indian communities and the other table that keeps track of its community members. Each indian community is identified by a 3 digit number in the community table, And each community member is identified by a 10 digit number in the membership table. Here is what I would like to to. I would like to have the database check that the first 3 digits starting from the left to right of each community members number to make sure it matches with an indian community number in the community table before posting it in the database.

Hi,

You can write a stored procedure for inserting a record into a database.
Call the following function in order to check the 10 digit number in the membership table.

e.g.

Create Function CheckId(@MainId varchar)
returns int
as
Begin
        Declare @v_subId varchar(3);
        Declare @v_Id varchar(3);

        --Get SubId from main Id.Here you will get first 3 characters of the string.
        Select @v_subId =Substring(@MainId,1,3)

         --check that if above Id exists in the communitytable
        Select @v_Id = Id from  communitytable Where Id is like @v_subId 
        If  @v_newId Is Not NULL 
        BEGIN
            Return 1
        END 
        ELSE
           BEGIN
            Return 0
        END 
     

End
