What is the best way of using an AutoNumber system on an SQL server?I've been used to using Microsoft DBs for my online apps and have now upgraded to using Microsoft SQL server.
I want to be able to insert a new record into the database not such a problem but I want each record to have a unique identity no eg. NewsID. I know that you can do a lookup of the MAX number on insertion but if two people are inserting at the same time this may cause problems with duplication.
I've searched the net but I couldn't find any SQL code on how to insert an autonumber column into an access database and table. Can anyone include the code?
I'm creating a basic ASP guest book, keeping my guest book entries in a Microsoft Access database, and using ADO to access it. My problem is that I am using the autonumbered ID field to split my guestbook into pages of 10 entries. It works for the most part, but if I delete an entry, a gap is left in the records and I end up 9 entries instead of 10 on that page. Basically I need a better way of sorting this out - I thought of SELECTing all the records into an array first and then working from that, but I can't get array to be dynamic enough in VBscript
It just inserts a new record into the db. What we did was add an autonumber field to the db, but now it won't update.
We know why - because it needs a value for every category in the db - but we don't know how to code it so it will update the db correctly. So, if anyone could help me with the (????) line in the coding so it will correctly update, that would be perfect!
I use (something like) following code to add new records to a database, but it doesn't work!!! I need to know the value of an AutoNumber-field when I add the record. Why doesn't it work and how can I make it work? I think it should be easy, but I can't figure it out! Code:
I have a page that does an insert into a table in an Access DB which has an autonumber primary key field. Following this insert I need to be able to get the ID that was generated. If I were using SQL Server I would simply return fetch @@IDENTITY from a stored procedure for example.
Does anyone here know of something similar I can use in Access to be able to get that ID? I tried just using a SELECT query with all the information I had just inserted but it comes up empty unless I put it in a separate request (i.e. redirect to a new page passing all the info through the querystring and then building the query on the redirect page...which is a huge pain and takes FOREVER to run.
I have a form that is filled out and put into an Access database. The id field is Autonumber.
What I would like to do is also insert this data (or some of it) either into another database or another table, but I would like the created AutoNumber to be a part of this data. Is there any way to get this number immediatly after insertion?
I'm trying to write the code for an autonumber to go in to a text field when the page is open. I had it working in access but of course it won't work in asp. The format has to be for example: PBC-1200.
I have an Access database that uses an autonumber for the primary key. I hv app. 110 items in the table, and yet when I add a new item, it autonumbers as 534097 or some ridiculously long number.
How can I get it to go back to a smaller number without removing/trashing existing ID fields?
I have a recordset with two three fields. One is an autonumber field called ID , one is a text field called Name and the last is a date/time field called DateEntered. How can I programatically determine the autonumber field ? Code:
OK, I realize this is a subject that almost every developer would encounter, so I understand the answer is probably out there somewhere. Suffice it to say that I have been looking, both in this forum and on google, found many SQL server answers, and one for Access, which I have tried with no success. See the following: Code:
sql = "INSERT into someTable(IntColumn) values (" & fakeValue & ") SELECT @@IDENTITY" set rs = conn.execute(sql) response.write "New ID was " & rs(0)
This results in a JET database error, Missing semicolon at end of SQL statement. I tried adding it after the close paren, after the select @@identity, and after both, with the same error.
I am using Ms Access database and I have set 3 digits (e.g. 000) for an autonumber field of my table.Its working fine in Access and incrementing automatically like this (001, 002, 003 ...), but when I call the data on a web page using ASP its displaying these numbers like this (1, 2, 3, 4 ...) I dont understand why is it not displaying the numbers as it is in the table.
Why won't this code work - the "id" fields are autonumbers
Code:
<select size="1" name="Agent" tabindex=""> <option value="Select">Select Owner</option> <% x = rs("id") Do While NOT rs2.eof y = rs2("id") Response.Write "<option value='" & rs2("id") & "'" If x = y Then Response.Write " Selected" End If Response.Write " >" & rs2("first") & " " & rs2("last") & "</option>" & vbCrlf rs2.MoveNext Loop %> </select>
I insert the question in the correct place which is related to the table 1 but when it come to insert the answer for that specific question id didn't work .. it always take the first question in the table Code:
I want to take the last record in my database and display it on my ASP program. From my understanding, when last record + 1, it will be autonumber right. It's like generaing the autonumber for invoice number.
For easier view, my last record is 21. So I want that 21 appear in my ASP system as 22. Is anyone can give me the idea how to make it?
I'm writing a database admin page in ASP. I had it adding records correctly. Then I added an autonumber field ("ID") to the table, and it stopped working. The sql I'm using is Code:
I have sql server express at my PC-windows xp professional, I try to connect to a table via asp (queryString :"Driver={SQL Server};" &"Server=localhost;" & _ "Database=local;" & "Uid=nikos;" & "Pwd=nikos;" but there is an error Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]"The SQL server does not exist or there is no permission.

I need to read a SQL Server table into a Web Page and within the Web Page to permit my users to make changes to the records, delete or add new records and then save the entire contents back to the SQL Server table back.
The functionality I am looking is almost the same as In the SQL Enterprise Manager whereby I can choose a table open the table and then return all rows and I can maintain the same and save it back to the SQL Server table. I want almost a similar web interface to such a functionality.
Even if not a generic functionality as the SQL Enterprise Manager table maintenance appreciate if somebody can share the code with a sample how I can do it in ASP pages + T-SQL if need be.
I have created a form that sends email thru my local server. What I want to do is send the email thru our corporate Exchange server. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this task? Please advise. Thanks.
I'm just about to start a project that needs to combine the results of a SQL Server query with the results of an Index Server query. The basic idea is that the user enters/selects a bunch of search criteria on a form.
Most of the criteria selected by the user will be used to select records from the database - standard WHERE clause stuff - but the user can also enter free-text that should be searched for in associated uploaded documents.
The documents are sitting in the file-system with file-name pointers only stored in the database (not the document). Only records where the associated free-text is found in the documents should be returned. I'm new to Index Server and am wondering how is this done. Any good references/tutes?
I have an application that needs to pull files from an internal server. This is the setup. The web server is external facing, meaning exposed to the internet. I then have a file server that sits inside our domain. I created a COM object that can impersonate a user to retrieve files from that server. However, I cannot get the application to pull files from the internal server.
I first tried a domain account that could reach both servers. This did not work. I then had the network team create the same account on both machines. This is not working either. I can impersonate the user (I am able to get the user/users authenticated), but the script keeps coming back with and access denied. Code:
