I need to add a column that has the datatype of integer with a seed and identity increment to a table that already exists and has data in it - and can't all NULLs. I have heard that this not possible if the table already exists.
I have downloaded the demo's of SQL Programmer and a couple of Embarcadero programs to see if that would help, but have had no succes to date.
Thanks for any help,

I have a table that holds a number of offers made to a orginization for placements at a lecture. what im wanting to do is have each of the rows for a orginization repeated so that the names of people attending can be put into the database.
The first table would looks something like this:
id___|__orginization_| lecture | offers
1 | orga | lec1 | 5
2 | orgb | lec1 | 3
3 | orga | lec2 | 3
the result im looking to get is something like this where the name of the attendess would be inputed in an application.
id | orginization | lecture | nameofattende
1 | orga | lec1 | j. blog
2 | orga | lec1 | s. smith
3 | orga | lec1 | h. samual
4 | orga | lec1 | j. sams
5 | orga | lec1 | b.j. james
6 | orgb | lec1 | m. curry
7 | orgb | lec1 | k. murry
8 | orgb | lec1 | g. hansen
Can anyone help with this

Hi,In my stored procedure I'm doing a SELECT onINFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS. However there is no unique id onthis table, so I was wondering if it was possible to add it dynamicallyin my SELECT, so that I would assign a unique id to each recordreturned by my SELECT?Thanks for your support.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got a table with 36+ million rows. I've been asked to modify thetable and add in an identity column. The code I used caused SQL tolock up and it maxed out the log files. :)The code I used is:Begin TransactionAlter Table ODS_DAILY_SALES_POSADD ODS_DAILY_SALES_POS_ID BigInt NOT NULL IDENTITY (1,1)CommitIs there a way to break up the code? Maybe only do a few millionrecords at a time? Or is there a way to do this without lockinganything up?Thanks,Jennifer
View 2 Replies View RelatedI removed all constraints in order to load a bunch of data into a table, now I'm wondering if I can add an identity column to this table which does contain data or if I have to create a new table with the identity column and insert the data into that.

I have this table where there is tow primary keys ,one for Year and the other for DocNumber.
In this table the DocNumber takes a number based on each year,for example in year 2008 the DocNumber should start counting from 1 and increment by one for every record,when the year changes to 2009 the DocNumber should start again from 1 until and seed by one again.
Those columns are PKs because there must be one doc Number for each year and they can not be null .
Is there any simple way to approach this in Sql Server 2005 ,or do I have to work on trigger to do so...???
Any ideas will be really appreciated.

I have 2 independent queries which run just fine, the 2nd one returns a dollar value. I need this dollar value as a column in my first query so that I can return it in a reporting program. The 2 queries are pasted below.
SELECT dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.InvoiceNumber AS "InvoiceNumber",
dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.TransactionType AS "TransactionType",
dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.Date AS "Date",
dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.DueDate AS "DueDate",
dbo.vw_tphillip_Customer_Inv.CustomerName AS "CustomerName",
[Code] ....
Currently I'm trying to add a column based on certain criteria based on the following data:
CallID GroupName CustomerPending
------ ----------- ------------
00500588FollowupN
00500588FollowupN
00500588Server N
00500588Service DeskN
00500588Service DeskN
Basically I'm trying to add an extra column, so that whenever the GroupName is "Followup", then a 'Y' will appear in the CustomerPending column for all instances of that CallID. I tried with the following, but it only provides a 'Y' in the rows (not the CallId's) where "Followup" is found.
--------------------------------------
UPDATE dbo.Asgnmnt
SET CustomerPending = 'Y'
FROM dbo.Asgnmnt
WHERE dbo.Asgnmnt.GroupName IN ('SD Followup')
ALTER Table Asgnmnt
ALTER column CustomerPending varchar(1)
UPDATE dbo.Asgnmnt
SET CustomerPending = 'N'
FROM dbo.Asgnmnt
WHERE dbo.Asgnmnt.GroupName NOT IN ('SD Followup')
ALTER Table Asgnmnt
ALTER column CustomerPending varchar(1)

Any assistance appreciated.
Hi all,
I have a large dataset (currently 131,000 rows) that looks similar to the following:
ID NewPer NewAmt OldPer OldAmt
334 1/07/08 200 22/01/08 200
2396 1/07/08 4000 10/12/07 3600
7650 1/07/08 1100 07/07/06 1200
.
.
.
and I need to create a session temp table (eg ##output) that translates the calculation (NewAmt - OldAmt) into categories such as
"decrease -201 to -500"
"decrease -1 to -200"
"no change"
"increase 1 to 200"
"increase 201 to 500"
so that my final output would look like this:
ID NewPer NewAmt OldPer OldAmt Change ChangeCategory
334 1/07/08 200 22/01/08 200 0 no change
2396 1/07/08 4000 10/12/07 3600 400 increase 201 to 500
7650 1/07/08 1100 07/07/06 1200 -100 decrease -1 to -200
.
.
.
I understand how to add the "Change" column to my temp output table, but am struggling with the ChangeCategory column - can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

i have the folowing databases DB1,DB2,DB3,D4,DB5........
i have to loop through each of the databases and find out if the database has a table with the name 'Documents'( like 'tbdocuments' or 'tbemplyeedocuments' and so on......)
If the tablename having the word 'Documents' is found in that database i have to add a column named 'IsValid varchar(100)' against that table in that database and there can be more than 1 'Documents' table in a database.
can someone show me the script to do it?
Thanks.
After SQL server service restart, a column which is set to auto increment jumped 1000. To fix the issue, I had to add T272 trace flag to SQL startup parameters. However, I did not see the column being reseeded after the service restart, it is still showing the 1000 jump. Am I doing something wrong?
Below the log showing the flag being added to the error log:
LogDateProcessorInfoErrorMSG

A 100 200 300 20 25 15
B 200 250 50 30 45 19
how can i do following 3 things
1)Add Total column for Sale and Average column for Profit
2)Sort report by lastMonth of Sale (here 7/1/2007) High to low
3)if last month of sale(here 7/1/2007) is less than second last month here (6/1/2007) whole row should be red

Hi,
I am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time.
thanks.

I am trying to add integer value to the datetime to get the configurable "date".But it is not working out. Here is the code for it.
declare @Id int;
exec @Id = up_GetConfigurableDayInterval
print getdate() + @Id
The sp "up_GetConfigurableDayInterval", will return number of days to add the the current date time. But print getdate() + @Id , is not producing the updated result.But when ever i have replaced the variable "@Id" with a value, Say "5", it is producing the expected result.I have also tested the above code by the following:-
create table Temp(value datetime);
insert into Temp values(getdate() + @Id);
select * from Temp
But it is not having the new added datetime.
My code looks like this for now:
Code:
SELECT CDELIG.CDELIG_QTE AS [Quantity],
(ARTICLE.ART_PRIXPUBLIC * CDELIG.CDELIG_QTE) * 100 AS [Total line price],
(CDELIG.CDELIG_PU_SUBACC_MNT * CDELIG.CDELIG_QTE) * 100 AS [Grant]
FROM CDELIG
INNER JOIN ARTICLE ON ARTICLE.ART_ID = CDELIG.ART_ID
And the result like this:
Quantity Total line price Grant
120 84000 0.0000
255 178500 0.0000
1 700 0.0000
The problem is that if a quantity is higher than 99 i got to split the row. And the others has to change also because the quantity would have change.The expected result will be like this:
Quantity Total line price Grant
99 69300 0
21 14700 0
99 69300 0
99 69300 0
57 39900 0
1 700 0
I am trying to create a whole number DAX calculated column that is derived from a date column. Basically it gets the date from the source data column and outputs it as an integer in the YYYYMMDD format.So 01/OCT/2015 would become --> 20151001...I've been fidgeting with DAX but my problem is that I keep missing the leading zeroes for months and days. So 01/March/2015 becomes 201531 which is not what I want (I need 20150301 in this case).

i tried this.
alter table userlookup alter column userid int identity(1,1) not null
i got this error:

In design mode of table, when i try to add identity, it is disabled.
These are disabled.
Precision

why identity is distabled in a table?.
So how can i add identity to a exsiting table?.
Hi!
I am designing a dimension table which will include a short name column based on the (full) name column. For example say Product dimension where I will have ProductName and ProductShortName. ProductShortName will be the first 6 characters of ProductName. I could populate ProductShortName using:
Substring in the select when I select from the original system, e.g. SUBSTR(PRODUCT_NAME, 1, 6) AS ProductShortName
Create a derived column in the SSIS flow which does the same thing
Create the ProductShortName column as a computed column which uses substring on ProductName
Create a trigger that populates ProductShortName based on ProductName when a row is inserted or updated
Create a named calculation in the table in the Analysis Services project's data source view
Create a named query in the Analysis Services project's data source view
I usually use 1, and 5 or 6 would only be used if I only will create reports against the cubes. 3 seems easiest to maintain, so I am thinking about using that one, but maybe it is slow for the data flow as I imagine it must be something like using 4, or when is the column "created" at runtime, i.e. when the table is queried?
Which approach(es) do or would you use? Pros and cons?
Thanks!
I have a table that I need to add an identity field to. I created a field in the table as an INT and added values to all of the existing records. When I try to change it to an IDENTITY field I continually get an error saying 'Invalid cursor state' . The help function tells me that this is caused by not having enough space in the transaction log but I don't understand this b/c the trans log is configured to expand as needed. Anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks,

I have table of three column first column is an ID column. However at creation of the table i have not set this column to auto increment. Then i have copied 50 rows in another table to this table then set the ID column values to zero.
Now I have changed the ID column to auto increment seed=1 increment=1 but the problem is i couldn't figure out how to update this ID column with zero value set to each row with this auto increment values so the ID column would have values from 1-50. Is there a away to do this?
Ok,I just need to know how to get the last record inserted by the highestIDENTITY number. Even if the computer was rebooted and it was twoweeks ago. (Does not have to do with the session).Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Trint
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan I put a constraint on an integer column that will only allow a certain range of numbers to be entered, or do I have to put that into the application layer only?
I'd like the range to be 0 to 30 as the only allowable values. The only thing that I could think of was to create another table and populate with 0,1,2...,30 and put a foreign key on the new column that wouldn't allow anything not in that list but I was wondering if there was a better way.

I'd created a dataform from a table stored in a SQL database, after that I changed the primary key field to be an identity, refreshed the dataset but when I execute the program, it raises an exception when I try to save the record after adding a new one asking me for the value of this field. What can I do to be sure it will be created automatically?

I'm using VS2008 (as shipped with SQL CE 3.5 as shipped).
I want to write a database app and started with a quite simple example:
One table "Master" has 2 columns: int MasterID, int Value (where the MasterID is the primary key and is an identity column.
For the GUI I used the typed dataset components (based on the namespace: System.Data.SqlServerCe) which were automatically generated by VS2008. I just dropped the table from the datasources view to a form and got a DataGridview, a Navigator and some DB components, quite fine so far.
When i run the app i can add new rows and the identity column is filled with -1, -2 ... as expected. When I hit the save button, the rows are saved to DB, but the values of the identity columns are not updated (the still have -1, -2..)
When I use the exact same example with SQL Express evrything works fine: the identity Column's values are updated automatically and have +1, +2, ...
Sure there is a statement "SELECT @@IDENTITY"... but I'm just using automated code so far, and i expect that code to work (automatically). Next problem: if i want to insert that "Select @@identity" stuff (I don't want to do that, but perhaps I have to?) where can I do this, I did not found a OnInsertedRow-Event?
This problem is part of a bigger one: I want to use Master/Detail, but inserting the Details fails because the inserting of the master rows didn't return the correct Indentity values, so the detail rows cannot be inserted (the foreign keys -1, -2... will raise an error).
thanks in advance, Bernd.
Hi everyone....
I need a column in my table that its DataType should be as integer arrays how can I implemant it in my sqlserver table.
Any help appreciated.
When I use the AVG Function on an integer column, the result is truncated
Example:
Select AVG(field1) from table1
Field1 is an int field and has 4 rows with the values 114,115,115 and 115. This will return 114.
I can get the correct result by using the following SELECT:
SELECT CAST(AVG(CAST (field1 as decimal(18,1)))+ .5 as int) from table1
Am I missing something here? Is there an simpler way to do this?
Any help will be appreciated.

I have the following query:
SELECT AVG(respondent_question.answer)
Now, the 'answer' column is an integer. However, I want the query to return a floating point number with one decimal place (i.e., 5.4, 2.3)
Since the column is an integer, the query returns only an integer by rounding to the nearest integer. How can I do this? Thanks!
