I have a table with no sequence column. I created a new column, but I need a way to add sequence number. This is not going to be a Primary key or indexed. I assume I will use update, but how do I do this?
Example
Before
Name | Seq
Paul | NULL
Tom | NULL
Grant | NULL
After
Name | Seq
Paul | 1
Tom | 2
Grant | 3
Here is my problem:
I have a table with following columns:
PersonID FirstName LastName
102 John Ben
103 Josh Parker
104 Mark Ben
Now if I type SELECT * FROM Person WHERE LastName = 'Ben' these two records will be displayed
PersonID FirstName LastName
102 John Ben
104 Mark Ben
But I want this to return with one additional Sequence column like this:
New Column PersonID FirstName LastName
1
102 John
Ben
2
104 Mark
Ben
How can I add this so called "New Column" ?
Hi,I've
this problem. I've a table to manage spedition with an identity column
(id), a year field and a numberInYear field. The identity is the pk of
the table and I want to make the numberInYear growing sequentially and
restart every change year. I don't want to make a table to manage this
sequence.I thought this alghoritm:1) Extract the max identity value (id) of the year before this, before the insert of the new record;2) Insert the new record;3) NumberInYear = the id just inserted minus the max id extract before.The
problem is the NumberInYear cannot be null, so I've to know the id of
the record inserting before the inserting itself... Is it possible?

I need to have a script where it ask the user for a value, the script will search for all records that match the value. Then it will display the numbers of records found and ask the user to enter a different value. The rest of the script will use this new value and increment by 1 n times as the number of records found. I started the script where it will ask for "HANDLE" and display the number of records found with that "HANDLE"
declare @HANDLE as varchar(30)
declare @COUNT as varchar(10)
declare @STARTINV as varchar(20)
set @HANDLE = ?C --This is the parameter to search for records with this value
set @STARTINV = ?C --User will input the starting invoice number
SELECT COUNT as OrderCount FROM SHIPHIST
where HANDLE = @HANDLE
I just can't figure out how to proceed to use the entered invoice # and increment by 1 until it reach the number of records found.
This will be the end results:
Count=5 --results from query
STARTINV=00010 --Value entered by user
Handle,Inv_Num
AAABBB,00010
AAABBB,00011
AAABBB,00012

Hi, I've a question, if I've the LSN (Log Sequence Number) of a transaction, keep with the program "Log Explorer", can I know which is the IP of the user that have do the transaction (perhaps serching in a log file of the Win 2000 Server) ?

In SQL 6.5 object dependencies window, what does the sequence number means?

I have the following stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ABR_HDR_INSERT
@id int output,
@status int,
@mode int,
@sessid varchar(100)
AS
declare @ay char(4)
declare @ddo char(4)
declare @abrid varchar(50)
declare @seq_no int
SELECT @ddo = a.DDO_DSCR_SHORT
FROM dbo.DIM_DDO a
JOIN dbo.Temp_ABR_HDR b
ON a.DDO_ID = b.DDO
WHERE b.SESSIONID = @sessid
SELECT @ay = AY
FROM dbo.Temp_ABR_HDR
WHERE SESSIONID = @sessid
-- set the default seq_no
SELECT @seq_no = 1
-- get the max abrid. if no record return the seq_no will be 1
SELECT @seq_no = convert(integer, max(right(abrid, 4)))
FROM dbo.ABR_HDR
WHERE left(abrid, 7) = @ay + @ddo
-- convert @seq_no to string prefix by 0
SELECT @abrid = @ay + @ddo + right('0000' + rtrim(convert(char(4), @seq_no)), 4)
Insert into dbo.ABR_HDR (ABRID, HDR_MODE, HDR_DDO, HDR_AY, HDR_REQUESTOR, HDR_DT, HDR_SUBJECT, HDR_DESCRIPTION, HDR_STATUS)
SELECT
@abrid,
@mode,
DDO,
AY,
REQUESTOR,
DT,
SUBJECT,
DESCRIPTION,
@status
FROM dbo.Temp_ABR_HDR
SELECT @id = @@identity
return @id
GO
ABRID gets inserted as a <NULL> value. I can't figure out why? If I comment out the following then ABRID will insert without the sequence number:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.ABR_HDR_INSERT
@id int output,
@status int,
@mode int,
@sessid varchar(100)
AS
declare @ay char(4)
declare @ddo char(4)
declare @abrid varchar(50)
declare @seq_no int
SELECT @ddo = a.DDO_DSCR_SHORT
FROM dbo.DIM_DDO a
JOIN dbo.Temp_ABR_HDR b
ON a.DDO_ID = b.DDO
WHERE b.SESSIONID = @sessid
SELECT @ay = AY
FROM dbo.Temp_ABR_HDR
WHERE SESSIONID = @sessid
-- set the default seq_no
--SELECT @seq_no = 1
-- get the max abrid. if no record return the seq_no will be 1
--SELECT @seq_no = convert(integer, max(right(abrid, 4)))
--FROM dbo.ABR_HDR
--WHERE left(abrid, 7) = @ay + @ddo
-- convert @seq_no to string prefix by 0
--SELECT @abrid = @ay + @ddo + right('0000' + rtrim(convert(char(4),@seq_no)), 4)
SELECT @abrid = @ay + UPPER(@ddo)
Insert into dbo.ABR_HDR (ABRID, HDR_MODE, HDR_DDO, HDR_AY, HDR_REQUESTOR, HDR_DT, HDR_SUBJECT, HDR_DESCRIPTION, HDR_STATUS)
SELECT
@abrid,
@mode,
DDO,
AY,
REQUESTOR,
DT,
SUBJECT,
DESCRIPTION,
@status
FROM dbo.Temp_ABR_HDR
SELECT @id = @@identity
return @id
GO
So, the code that sets the sequence number is what is causing the <NULL> value.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello all,Iīm currently using a SQL Serve 2K. Would like to do a selectwhich returns the row number - this should not be physically stored inthe database. So for example, I would like to do a query against theCUSTOMER table and receive:* rowID || name1 Evander2 Ron3 Scoth4 JaneI donīt want to store the ID, because if I change the order byclause, the sequence may modifiy, and, for another example, having thesame set of data, I would receive:* rowID || name1 Scoth2 Ron3 Jane4 Evander could someone help me ?best regards,Evandro
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
I need to know how to generating a sequence number, for example, from 300,000 to 900,000 without skipping any number due to failure. For example, if user 1 request a number then he/she will get 300000 in a transaction. User 2 will get 300001. How ever user 1's transaction fails, then the next request should get 300000. Is it possible to do this in SQL2K? If so, how do I create a table that and stored procedure that can do this.
Thank you so much.

Hi,
I have written the following StoredProcedure
Code:
create Procedure spCreateQuestion(
@QuestionName varchar(30)
)
as
declare @newAnswerId int
declare @newQuestionId int
set @QuestionName='New Question'
BEGIN TRANSACTION Q1
--Creates New QuestionId with AnswerId 0
INSERT INTO Questions(QuestionId,Name,AnswerId)
SELECT 1 + COALESCE(MAX(QuestionId), 0),RTRIM(@QuestionName),0
FROM Questions
--QuestionId just now created
SELECT @newQuestionId=QuestionId FROM Questions WHERE Name=@QuestionName
BEGIN TRANSACTION QA1
--Create an AnswerId
INSERT INTO Answers(AnswerId)
SELECT 1 + COALESCE(MAX(AnswerId), 0)
FROM Answers
--AnswerId just now created(I hope not the best way to do like this)
SELECT @newAnswerId=MAX(AnswerId) from Answers --is it the best way to call statement like this or any other way better than this
--update Questions Table with this new Answerid
UPDATE Questions
set
AnswerId=@newAnswerId
where QuestionId=@newQuestionId
COMMIT TRANSACTION QA1
COMMIT TRANSACTION Q1
I think the second Transaction is not locking the table.so some how i should be
able to get the newly create AnswerId
i can't use the identity column in my tables
Can some one please have a look at it and suggest me how do we go about it..
Does anyone know an efficient method for generating a sequence number in the following form?
Starting with 2 columns
1 2
----
A X
A Y
B X
B Y
B Z
C X
I want to then generate a third column as follows:
1 2 3
-------
A X 1
A Y 2
B X 1
B Y 2
B Z 3
C X 1
The purpose being so that I can easily identify the previous row within a Column1 group. So given column1=A and column2=Y I know that the previous row is Column3 - 1 where column1 = A. Therefore I will be able to join to the previous result of any row within any group quickly for future calculations.
Any ideas? Thanks.

is there a set based function to accomplish this in SQL 2008?
I have a table like this
create table
#invoice (invoice_no varchar(5), invoice_amount int)
INSERT INTO #invoice
SELECT 'A', 100 UNION
SELECT 'A', 200 UNION
SELECT 'A', 300 UNION
SELECT 'B', 400 UNION
SELECT 'B', 500 UNION
SELECT 'B', 600 UNION
SELECT 'B', 700
Now I want a output like this
INVOICE_NO AMOUNT SEQUENCE_NO
A 100 1
A 200 2
A 300 3
B 400 1
B 500 2
B 600 3
B 700 4
The sequence_no should set back to 1 on change of invoice_no
these are items in a an invoice. they just want a sequence_no
I can do this using cursors, but if anyone can help with WHILE LOOP
would be great
THANKS

I am newbie to SQL Server 2005.
Can any experts please give me code for how to generate automatic sequence numbers in sql server 2005?

Hi,
I have an error table that is to be updated by more than one package.
There is a sequence number generated in the error table. It is generated by using the max value of the previous data present in the table.
When more than one package runs parallely, conflict occurs in generating the sequence number.
How can this be handled?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can I create a number sequence starting at a certain number and continue on for the number of records I have.
For example I have 3000 records in my table and a field named I created called RecordId which I'd like to start at number 1 and goto 3000 (or maybe even start at 9000 and goto 12000 or however many records there are).
In my pseudo SQL code Im guessing it would be something like...
select * from Incident
update Incident
set RecordId( i=9000; i<=Number of Records in Table; i++)
Whats the easiest way to do this?

Does any one have information about how 'large' the SQL Server Sequence Number generator can go,

I want to create a unique ID that identifies a row.
Id:STU+(SeqNumber) for Student and

[Question]:But how can i create sequence number and store it for use like that of ORACLE
Current Idea:Based on registration info if type is student generate STU+seq num and insert to table along with username and other details and if employee like wise.
So a procedure will receive this from user and append that with seqnumber and stores that in the table
Is there wa way to generate unique sequence numbers in SQL server?
(just like the way it is in Oracle i.e. seqeuence and then use nextval)
:eek:
I'm having a brain not functioning day - well who am I kidding - more like a year :rolleyes:
I need some help with some sequence numbering and cannot even get my head around the logic I want to use, let alone the actual code.
I have a dataset with 3 fields:
Area
ID
RefNo
This table contains a list of employee ID's by Area and each employee has a RefNo (counter) in each area.
The data comes from 2 different sources and is combined in this table. Some employees had no RefNo already assigned to them so I have entered their RefNo as 10000 in order to ensure they are sorted at the bottom of the list.
The ID's that have RefNo's have to keep the one they have. Therefore, I need to create RefNo's for the ones that currently have RefNo 10000.
These numbers I create have to follow on from the highest RefNo for the Area.
For example:
Area ID RefNo
A Z 1
A Y 2
A X 3
A W 10000
A V 10000
B N 1
B O 10000
B P 10000
So, for Area A, ID's W and V would have to be assigned RefNo 4 and 5, and for Area B, ID's O and P would have to be assigned RefNo 2 and 3.
Hope this makes sense to all.
BTW, am using SQL 2000 at the moment.
Thanks in advance for any help!
