Adding An Auto-increment Column To Existing Table With A Particular Order
Oct 19, 2005Hello all,I'm using SS2K on W2k.I'v got a table say, humm, "Orders" with two fields in the PK:OrderDate and CustomerID. I would like to add an "ID" column whichwould be auto-increment (and would be the new PK). But, I would reallylike to have orders with the oldest OrderDate having the smallest IDnumber and, for a same OrderDate, I'd to have the smallest CustomerIDfirst. So my question is:How could I add an auto-increment column to a table and make it createits values in a particular order (sort by OrderDate then CustomerIDhere)?In the real situation, the table I want to modify has around 500krecords and the PK has 5 fields and I want to sort on three of them.Thanks for you helpYannick
View 7 Replies View RelatedSelect Into Statement Without Taking Auto Increment Of ID Column To The New Table
Mar 7, 2011Due to localization I have the need to make child tables, where there is a composite Primary Key, between the Id column and the LanguageSign column. On the parent table the Id column is Identity column with auto increment.
The problem is that during the select into query to copy columns from parent to child, this auto increment behaviour of the parent-Id is copied to the child-Id. However I do not want that, because the same Id will be used by different LanguageSign entries
Is there a way to use 'select into' without copying the auto increment, or is my only option to make a whole new column without auto increment on the child and copy the records?
btw I have used this statement
SET
IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable
ON , so that inserting into the Id column is possible. I can see however that this does not take away the auto increment...

Need To Have 2 Auto Increment Columns (Seed, Increment)
Dec 11, 2007Hello,
I Have a table that needs to have 2 unique number.
detail_id and detail_print_id.
detail_id is already an IDENTITY.
both fields need to be different, because when importing, it imports the same data into a table twice, with only a slight data change (and id is not one of the changes).
So I thought i could do the following:
detail_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,2),
detail_print_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(2,2),
--blah blah
that way, the detail_id will always be odd, and the detail_print_id will always be even. however SQL Server 2005 only allows 1 identity per table, and both these fields need to be auto generated when the field is inserted, so as to prevent double data.
is there anyway I can create a int column to auto increment, without the column being an IDENTITY??
also, I would prefer to not have to create a second table with a single column just for this work.
Thanks,
Justin

MS-SQL: Where's Auto Increment?
Feb 4, 2005It's been a long time since I've had to check an index for the highest value, then add 1, to create a new unique key. These past few years, it seems this is usually done for you. But now that I'm working with MS-SQL, I don't see it. Is it there? It's doesn't seem to be inherent in the definition.

Auto-Increment
May 30, 2008Hey,
Here is what happened:
Users for a long time have been able to post new topics in our forums. However, a short time ago, the some users began to experience problems. What I have narrowed it down to is that upon inserting into the table, sometimes id value for the topic is the same as an id that is already in the table, so it fails to insert the record (due to a constraint). However, the topic id column is an auto-increment column and should just assign the next number for the id value.
Any ideas?

Auto-increment My Primary Key: Why 2 Instead Of 1?
Dec 21, 2007Hi all,I have a table where I have my ProdPK set up as Primary key, turned on "Is Identity" and set the Identity increment to 1. But each time I add a new item, the number incremented by 2... I have couple of other tables and they are all fine, just this particular table increased twice as it should. I check the setting against other tables and everything seems to be the same. By the way, this is adding the data to the table inside MS SQL Server Management Studio manually. I haven't done anything in the ASP.NET page yet. Thank you very much,Kenny.

Apr 5, 2008Hey,
Im building a site within Visual Studio 2005 and im using the SQL database system it provides. I currently have a number of tables each with a primary key that is set to the 'int' field type and also set to auto increment 1, 2, 3 etc etc. My question is it there a way to make this field increment automatically, providing a unique value but also automatically placing a couple of pre-defined letters before the number? Obviously it can't be an 'int' anymore because it'll be holding something like MEM1, MEM2 etc. Is there a way to do this is Visual Studio?
Many Thanks!
Auto Increment Primary Key
Apr 13, 2008Dear all,
I am using SQL express 2005 in visual studio 2008. I would like to use Form View to insert new record in the table. There is a column call "id". I think it is too stupid to let user enter a unique identifier instead of generating by the system.
I know how to generate a random integer number in a normal TextBox. However, when I edit the InsertItemTemplate, I cannot modified the value of that textbox. For example, i couldn't use "TextBox1.Text = temp;" here. How can I achieve to change this TextBox's value by the system that I would like to generate a random interger. Thanks a lot.

Auto Increment In VBScript?
Aug 31, 2006Ok, I've been charged with the task of setting up an IVR(interactive voice response) system for remote data entry. It was all going great till I got to the utility's Database connector. It wouldn't work, but I saw that the program also supported VBScript, great! I know VBScript.
Simple task, setup a simple flow where data can be entered. I setup a DSN for the access database(not quite MS SQL, but close enough) I'd created. It gave me a syntax error when I tried to use '' in an auto increment field. I think the exact query was:
"INSERT INTO test_table VALUES('',$RV[Store Number],'$RV[Objective]','question1','question2',question3');"
The database setup was:
id(AutoNumber),store_number(number),objective(text),q1(text),q2(text),q3(text)
Changed the auto number in the query to a 0 and it worked fine, but of course it was only to test if it would work. It would create a duplicate row if it went further than the first row.
I don't understand what my syntax error was. The $RV[*] are variables retrieved by procedures in the IVR scripting program. Need this for work so I can setup a demo of the system to present to my boss' bosses' bosses
