looks like @@rowcount issue ?

Hi NevadaVegas,

If there is no record meets

WHERE PlayerID= ' + STR(@@nPlayerID) 

in table “@tblName”, we will get @iRowCount value as '0'. I tested the following codes with AdventureWorks2012 database, and found both of “sp_executesql” and “exec” commands will return the same @@RowCount value. You can refer to the following codes:

use AdventureWorks2012;
go
-- sp_executesql
declare @strsql nvarchar(1000),
@ncount int
set @strsql = 'select * from person.Person'
exec sp_executesql @strsql
set @ncount = @@ROWCOUNT
select @nCount
-- result : 19972
--exec
declare @strsql varchar(1000),
@ncount int
set @strsql = 'select * from person.Person'
exec(@strsql)
set @ncount = @@ROWCOUNT
select @nCount
-- result : 19972
-- sp_executesql, update
declare @strsql nvarchar(1000),
@ncount int
set @strsql = 'update person.Person set FirstName = ''KenOLD'' where [BusinessEntityID] = 1'
exec sp_executesql @strsql
set @ncount = @@ROWCOUNT
select @nCount
-- 1
--exec, update
declare @strsql varchar(1000),
@ncount int
set @strsql = 'update person.Person set FirstName = ''Ken'' where [BusinessEntityID] = 1'
exec(@strsql)
set @ncount = @@ROWCOUNT
select @nCount
-- 1
