Obtain a list of all rows insert via a select statement

With Table A being the parent table and having an identity column as the
primary key.
With Table B being a child of table A
I need to do an insert based on a select statement (multiple row returned)
in Table A. Then I need to insert multiple child rows in Table B for every
row inserted in Table A.
What is the best strategy? Is there a way to have a list of all the rows
inserted?
I'm open to any suggestion.
Thank you in advance
MartinYou can access those within a trigger, and have it populate a temp table
that the calling batch created, if such a temp table exists, e.g.,
create table t(k int not null identity primary key, d varchar(10));
go
create trigger trg_i_t on t for insert
as
if object_id('tempdb..#t') is not null
insert into #t select k from inserted;
go
-- test
create table #t(k int);
insert into t(d)
select 'a'
union all select 'b'
union all select 'c';
select * from #t;
drop table #t;
-- Output:
k

In SQL Server 2005 it will be much easier with the DML with results
enhancements.

Hi Martin,
I'm not entirely sure if I understand you. Do you mean that you have
some data in one or more tables that needs to be inserted in two new
tables, where the second table links to the identity column of the
first?
The proper way to find the identity value of inserted rows after a
multirow insert is to query the table with the natural key as search
argument. That should return you the identity values.
If you need more specific advise, then please code DDL, sample data and
desired results. Check out www.aspfaq.com/5006.
Best, Hugo
