Auto Populate A Field With A Value From Previous..
Mar 15, 2008
record.
For example. I have a table with fields named "From" and "To" which track drill hole measurements. When I add a new record I would like it to autopopulate the "To" field with the "From" value from the previous record.
Example Recordset
Record 1, From=0, To=500, Lithcode=AB1
Record 2, From=500, To=1000, Lithcode=CR4
Record 3, From=1000<- trying to figure out how to auto populate previous record's from value here
TIA

Was wondering if there is easy anyway to autopopulate a field by pulling a value from a field in the previous record?
For example, I have a table with fields name "Dist_From" and "Dist_To". When I add a new record I would like it to populate the "Dist_From" field with the "Dist_to" value from the previous record.
TIA

I have an MS SQL Server table with a Job Number field I need this field to start at a certain number then auto increment from there. Is there a way to do this programatically or within MSDE?

I need to know who is entering data in my SQL database. I use Access Project as a front end and would like to know if it is possible to have an 'ID' field auto-populate with a user NT Login. For example, if user checks a check-box or enters data in field, I would like an ID field next to the checkbox or data field to populate with his user ID.
Any assistance is much appreciated!
Thanks.

I have 2 tables in a parent->child relationship. The primary key for the parent table is moving to a new column (that is an Identity). I'd like to relink the tables using the identity field.
Here's the structure:
Parent
refid int (Identity) - NEW PK
orderid char(9) - OLD PK
Child
orderdetailid int - PK
orderid char(9) - Old link to parent
refid int - New link to parent
I've populated refid in the parent. I just need to populate the refid column in the child. I have a VFP background. In VFP I would have looped through the child, found the matching record in the parent, then transfered the data over. I don' t have a clue how to do this in TSQL.

I am fairly new to SQL programming and would like to see if you can provide me with some direction on a small project I would like to accomplish. I have experience working with databases (mainly in with different versions of FoxPro) and reporting with Crystal reports, etc. but not much with SQL.
The project that I would like to work on has 2 SQL DBs and entails looking in a database for empty CLASSCODE fields, populate these fields from a “storage� database that contains un-used CLASSCODE codes and delete the assigned codes from the storage DB or mark them as used possibly the book code.
The main DB called books has the following relevant fields, bookid, bookname, CLASSCODE (besides a number of other fields which are irrelevant to what I need to do). The “storage DB called classcode has 3 fields, CLASSCODE, Used (single character intended to contain either a Y or NULL) and date assigned. The original idea was to put a Y in the used field and insert the date the code was assigned to a book, but this is not entirely necessary, we have 90k unused codes and it really does not matter if they are simply deleted from the DB.
My idea is to create a script to accomplish this that I can run periodically when new books have been added to the DB. I can setup the update routine (something like the list below) but what I am stuck with is trying to do the following:
Pick the first record (classcode) from the classcode DB
Go to the books DB and update it with this classcode
Go back to the classcode DB and mark the used record with a Y in the Used field
Loop though the books DB and perform the same operation until no more records exist with an empty classcode field.
I will greatly appreciate your feedback you can provide.
Mike.
UPDATE [dbo].[Books]
SET dbo.Books.Classcode = [dbo].[classcode].[classcode]
From dbo.classcode
On [dbo].[Books].[classcode]= [NULL]
Populate DB field from list in “storage� DB

Hi folks:
I have added a new field to an established table, and am having trouble figuring out how to populate its values:
Two tables are involved: Jobs and Parts
There is a one-to-one relationship between each JobID and its PartID
Each Part has a PartPrice. Now I have added to the Jobs table a JobPrice field. Whenever a new Job is created, JobPrice takes the current value of its Part's PartPrice. Each Job's JobPrice remains constant for historical purposes, while the PartPrice may fluctuate at my client's whim.
The trouble is that the Jobs table is 10k+ records large, and I need to fill the JobPrice values. I am at a loss. I know how to commit the update one record at a time:
UPDATE Jobs
SET JobPrice = (SELECT PartPrice FROM Parts WHERE (PartID = [the part in question]))
WHERE (JobID = [the job in question])
My SQL knowledge is limited to basic statements that I use in my .NET work, and I rarely create anything in Management Studio more elaborate than what you see above. Many thanks for your time,
Matt

Currently I have the following stored procedure which simply adds a new row in my SQL Express 2005. What I want is that -1). before inserting the record find out the new ID (primary key) value. (ID is automatically a sequential integer generated by SQL Server)2). and set COMPANY_ID = (new) ID Any thoughts? Thanks ALTER PROCEDURE usp_tbl_Company_Insert @Company_ID int, @Name varchar(200), AS<FIND THE NEW ID of the new row in the database> @Company_ID = (new ID) INSERT INTO tbl_Company (Company_ID, Name,)VALUES (@Company_ID, @Name)

The following works just fine. The table tmpMHPCLMDET does have a column ADMTDT ( varchar(8) ).
While I am adding the sequence of numbers I like it to be sorted based on ADMTDT column.
What that means is the row with the earliest ( smallest ) ADMTDT will get 1 and the next 2 and so on.
Declare @ID int
If Exists ( Select c.name from sys.columns c where object_id = object_id('tmpMHPCLMDET') and C.name = 'ServiceLineID' )
Begin
--Adding a sequence of numbers to the ServiceLineID column.
SET @id = 0
UPDATE tmpMHPCLMDET
SET @id = ServiceLineID = @id + 1;
End;

I have 1 table with some empty product codes that I have imported from a txt file. And I would like to fill in the empty product codes by taking the previous product code
date product_code
01/01/14 | BIC01 |
03/01/14 | |
01/01/14 | CASH |
04/01/14 | BIC01 |
02/01/14 | CASH |
05/01/14 | |
03/01/14 | CASH |
I though of using the LAG function but the table does not have any specific order.So after running the select, the table should look like:
date product_code
01/01/14 | BIC01 |
03/01/14 | BIC01 |
01/01/14 | CASH |
04/01/14 | BIC01 |
02/01/14 | CASH |
05/01/14 | CASH |
03/01/14 | CASH |

My question is simple, I'd like to do something I do in Jet ANSI-89 SQL. Mind you I'm just adding numbers here - they are not actual columns in 'SomeTable'
SELECT 1 AS A, 2 AS B, A+B AS C
FROM SomeTable
The Jet engine evaluates and does arithmetic on the Aliased column names - handy when they contain their own functions. The resultset would show:
A B C
1 2 3
However from what I can tell SQL Server 2005 is not picking this up. Is their an equivalent?

I need to write a t-sql query that will take the value of the previousrecord into consideration before calculating the current row's newcolumn value...Here's the situation...I have a query which return the following table structure...Full_Name Points----------------- ------------Name1 855Name2 805Name3 800Name4 775Name5 775Name6 741etc.... etc...I need to create a calculated column that tells me where the personranks in point position. The problem i run into is that in thesituation where two or more people have the same point value i need thecalculated rank column to display the same rank number (i.e. 4th orjust "4") I'm not sure how to to take into consideration the previousrow's point value to determine if it is the same as the current onebeing evaluated. If i new they were the same i could assign the samerank value (i.e. 4th or just "4").If any one has any insight that would be great.ThanksJeremy

I am working with a vendor application called Cisco Unified Attendant Console - it operates on a Windows server with a SQL express database. The CUPs function of the application needs to reference a "contact" field with only the user portion of the contact's email address - generally, the contact's User ID will match the user portion of their email address, however, for this customer it does not (they use the employee number as the User ID and firstname.lastname as user portion of the email address.
Writing a script to accomplish the following:
The dbo.Contact_Properties table of the ATTCFG database has the following fields that we can work with:
Â
- First_Name
 - Last_Name
 - Email
 - User_Field_2
 - Contact_Unique_Ref (appears to be the field that ties all other contact tables together ?)
Is it possible to create a script that could run daily to either, combine the First_Name and Last_Name fields (with a period between) and populate the User_Field_2 field for each user, or populate the User_Field_2 field with everything before the @ symbol in the Email field for each user?
Also, by default the servers that this application is installed on does not have SQL Server Management Studio installed - is it possible to accomplish with PowerShell script triggered from the Windows Scheduler?

My goal is to update the "PriorInsert" field with the "DateInserted" from the previously inserted record where the WorkOrder, MachineNo, and Operator are all in the same group.
While trying to get to the correct previous record, I wrote the query below.
P.S. The attached .txt file includes a create and insert tbl_tmp sampling.
select top 1
a.ID,
a.WorkOrder,
a.MachineNo,
a.Operator,
a.PriorInsert,

I have a database table. I need to set a particular data field to allow for Auto Incrementing. Basically I need to set up the initial integer value to start at. Then to specify the amount to increment by.
What I have done so far is to right click on the field name in SQL Server 2005. Then, on the pop-up menu I select the menu option for properties.
When the properties are displayed I see some fields listed in dark grey but I am not able to edit these fields. In other words, if I try to type text in this field, nothing happens. The fields I am talking about are:
Identity Increment
Identity Seed
Is Identity
Does anyone know what the problem is? What do I have to do to edit these fields.

Hey,
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!

I am porting a database from Informix to SQL Server 2000. Several fields in the informix database are specified as SERIAL, which means that they auto-increment auto-magically if you insert a 0 into them. Well...I was looking for an equivalent in SQL Server 2000, and thought I had found it in the IDENTITY column concept.
With further investigation into IDENTITY columns, however, I discovered that only one column per table can be given the IDENTITY property. Why is this? Is there a way around that? If not, is there another way to achieve this feature in SQL Server 2000? If not, any suggestions on how I can do it?
Thanks!

Is there an AutoType Datatype for Date field. just like the Identity property for an ID field.
It increments by 1 for each new record.
The same way if i add a record to the table can it automatically put todays date or date and time for the field date created in my table.
The reason is i am uploading the record from xml file(Using SQLXMLBULKLOAD) so i dont have a chance to mention on the front end code or in the XSD file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
My table has more columns than this but I will just use the ones here tht are important.
I have two columns in a table these are "ExpiryDate" and "Archived".
When the row is created the "Archived" field will be null but the user will have entered a expiry date. When this date is reached I would like the "Archived" data to change to "1". Is this possible? Would I have to do it through some kind of script or can I set the database to do this automatically?
Thank you, Mark

Ok, let's say that I do a following inline INSERT statement.....
INSERT INTO Car ( carMake, carModel ) VALUES ( 'Honda', 'S2000' )
When I do this, a carId int value will automatically be generated because it is the Car table's PK and is an int identity. How do I obtain this value so I can immediately use it in let's say, the following example.
INSERT INTO Person ( carId ) VALUES ( @carId ) ..... where @carId is the value I need
Maybe you would say I should do something like.....
SELECT carId FROM Car WHERE carMake = 'Honda' AND carModel = 'S2000'
However, let's assume that the carMake and the carModel fields are NOT unique. I'm sure there's an easy way to extract the new identity value (maybe even in the same query) as the INSERT, but I just don't know how.
Thanks.

I need to auto increment an alphanumeric field in a table.
The process is as follows:
1. First position is static letter C for contact or static letter A for account - field contact_id
2. The following 6 positions are numeric - example of the string would be C004658
3. When new contact is entered, it should look up the highest numeric value (in this case 004658) and increment it by one - resulting in C004659
