Automatic Field Entry
Nov 17, 2007
Hi,
I'm creating a database using SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (Comes with Visual Web Developer). The table which I am creating has the following Fields - all don't allow nulls:
ID
UserId
Date
Description
(UserId is a foreign key to asp_net_Users as I am supporting user accounts)
Basically what I need to do is create a page where I as an Administrator can log onto and enter just the text for the field Description. Then once I upload this I wish all users to visit the site and view this Description on a page however with it also listing the Administrator who wrote it along with the Date. I wish both of these fields to be added automatically (UserId to display the User Name and the Date to display the date and time with which the Description was added - However these need to be editable by the Administrator if he/she wishes to change them).
Can anyone point me in the right direction on the steps needed to create this scenario?
Thanks for any help
Daniel

Hi everybody couldn't get through with saving my data on the table with two primary keys...
my table structure is this
pubidintUnchecked (primary key)
pubchar(1)Unchecked
publchar(1)Unchecked
pubcodechar(2)Unchecked (primary key)
a sample data is here
pubid pub publ pubcode
1 a b ab
1 b b bb
2 a b ab
2 b b bb
when i save this table modifying the pubid and pubcode as primary keys the following error displays...
Unable to create index 'PK_PUBS3'.
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX terminated because a duplicate key was found for index ID 1. Most significant primary key is '51'.
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
The statement has been terminated.
what i understand is that on the primary key duplicates are not allowed how could i allow it?
thanks

Hi,
I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express for creating my database. I also use the GUI tools for data entry instead of using T-SQL. Whenever I try to enter a value in a field that has a smalldatetime data type, it gives me an error message -
"Invalid Value for cell (row 1, column 2).
The changed value in this cell was not recognised as valid.
.Net Framework Datatype: Datetime
Error Message: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
Type a value appropriate for this data type or press ESC to cancel the change."
Now I have tried entering all different combinations in which one can enter a date or a time or both, including in the format I have specified in the windows regional settings, but I always get the same error message.
How do I input data into the field?

Only I haven't used it much since, and need to seriously develop something now, that I bothered to ask the question here.
Some examples of the values I tried entering yesterday, and none of them worked. (I got the same error message for each value) -
1-1-2007
01-01-2007
01/01/2007
01,01,2007
01:01:2007
Jan 01, 2007 (this is the format I have specified for short date in the Win regional settings - MMM dd, yyyy)
I even tried entering time alongside with all those above figures in the format -
11:35 PM
11:35 AM
23:35
The only time value(s) I didn't try was/were - hh:mms tt - which is the time format specified in my Win regional settings, neither standalone, nor with the date values.
I also tried entering a time value standalone, without the date. Still no go.
(Also, as I have gleaned from previous posts, if all goes well and SQL Server accepts your data, then if you enter just a date value in a datetime field, then the field automatically gets populated with the value of the system time at that moment, and if you enter just a standalone time value, then the date part will be filled by the system date value on the date of the entry. Am I correct so far?)
Now I'm in a real fix because of the inability to enter date/time values.
Could you please help me out?

I can enter the datetime values in all the above mentioned combinations if I use an Insert or Update statement using T-SQL, but I can't seem to enter data in the datetime/smalldatetime fields at all if I try to use the GUI of Management Studio Express to enter data. (right click the table, select show table, and the grid view pops up). Ditto for using GUI tools of Visual Studio Express. Is this a bug in the Visual Studio (Express) software?
Also, my other concerns are, once I develop a front-end for data entry using VB, will I face the same issues with data entry in the datetime fields using the GUI of the front end? I can't test that right now, because I'm still learning VB, and cannot create the front end just yet.

Alright, I have done a complete reinstall of Win XP, and have also reinstalled SQL Server Express. Prior to this, I had SQLExpress SP1, but now I have directly installed SP2.
Now I continue to face the same issue. SQL Server will not accept any value for any datetime field, unless it is entered as an SQL insert statement. It won't accept the value entered in the exact same format as the insert statement from the GUI mode of Management Studio Express, nor will it take any values from any GUI developed using VBExpress and the fill dataset method. It throws an error everytime. I don't know any other way of databinding and updating/inserting using VB at this time.
I am at my wits' end because of this. I ask again, is this a bug in SQL Server Express? If so how do I report it to MS and get my issue resolved? If not, even then how can I solve this problem?
Could someone please help me out? I am stuck and cannot use the product at all, without the datetime field.

Hi, I have a question regarding inserting numbers automatically. For example, there are 2 fields. One is CountryID and other is CountryName. From Front-end I'm entering the Country Name "India" alone and in my table the CountryID "1" or what ever the sequence should be entered. I believe this can be done using Triggers. I read on KB article in Microsoft website. But didn't get clear idea. Is that the correct way?Can any one show me a small example of this? Or give an idea for this?

I need to automatically update a datetime field for a record to the current time whenever the record is updated.
create table t (
id bigint identity(1,1) not null primary key,
name varchar(50),
value varchar(50),
ts datetime not null default getutcdate()
)
go
insert t (name, value) values ('fred', 'bob')
go
update t set value='robert' where id=1 and name='fred'
go
One option would be to use an instead of update trigger.
create trigger update_t on t
instead of update as
update t set ts=getutcdate(),name=inserted.name, value=inserted.value from t inner join inserted on t.id=inserted.id
go
update t set value='dick' where id=1 and name='fred'
go
Sounds like I've solved my own problem, heh? Well, here's the catch ... you can't know the names of the other columns at the time you write the trigger. I.e. you only know that there is a ts field that needs to be updated internally, otherwise you want the update to do the same thing it would normally do.
Any ideas?

I am designing a database. I want to define a automatic sequence on a table primary key field. what is the best solution for it?
I know I can enable identity property for a field, but it has some problems ( for example its seed jumps on restart and unsuccessful events)
I also can use some calculated sequences. for example I can calculate max of the filed values and after incrementing use it as key for new inserted record.
which one is better?

Can someone please help me solve the following error? I am not sure of the version my hosting company is using and where to get the manual.
Could not add the entry because: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-id, title, entry, date_entered) VALUES ('testing', 'testing', . The query was INSERT INTO blog_entries (blog-id, title, entry, date_entered) VALUES ('testing', 'testing', 'testing'.
PHP Code:
if ($dbh = mysql_connect ('localhost', 'blu6592_money', 'rich')) {
print '<p>Successfully connected to MySQL.</p>';
if (mysql_select_db ('blu6592_myblog')) {
print '<p>The database has been selected.</p>';
} else {
die ('<p>Could not select the database because: <b>' . mysql_error() . '</b></p>');
}
$query = "INSERT INTO blog_entries

VALUES (0, '{$_POST['title']}',
'{$_POST['title']}',

if (mysql_query ($query)) {

} else {
print "<p>Could not add the entry because: <b>" . mysql_error() . "</b>. The query was $query.</p>";
}
} else {

mysql_close();

(I don't post here often, so in case I'm violating long-standing taboosof this newsgroup, I apologize in advance for calling a relation atable, using nulls, and other ignorant, destructive, and comtemptibleterminology.)I have a table that's keeping a sort of running log of different typesof changes to pieces of data. The table has a foreign key of the databeing changed, the foreign key for the type of change occuring, someinformation about the change in a couple more columns, and a timestampfor each entry. So it's:dataIDeventIDeventInfotimestampWhat I'd like to do, if at all possible, is a single SQL query that,given a dataID, returns the most recent eventInfo and timestamp foreach eventID. Is this possible?Many thanks.-Eric

"High priority system task thread: Operating system error Exception 0xAE encountered."
we are seeing this on one of our development servers, running SQL 2005 Enterprise SP1. The symptom is that after the sql service has been running a while (order of days), this error starts getting written to the sql server log file over and over, and eventually the logfile fills the drive.
Apparently it's fixed by this hotfix, but our ops team doesn't want to install this - they'd rather just cycle the service and delete the log when it happens.
I was wondering if anyone else has seen it might know the root cause so we might be able to workaround it without cycling the service. I know, lame question. The correct answer is "install the hotfix" or "install sp2" but our ops team won't do that for now...

Hello,
I have a table of names/dates as such:
Class 1 1/1/2007Class 1 1/3/2007Class 1 1/5/2007Class 2 2/1/2007Class 2 2/3/2007Class 3 3/1/2007
What I want to do is select only the nearest entry from the list for each distinct class, so the results are like this:
Class 1 1/1/2007Class 2 2/1/2007Class 3 3/1/2007
So basically, I want the first upcoming class in the list for each distinct class name. How do I do this? I'm using SQL 2005 Express.
Thanks.

Hi, I know this is probably very simple but I am pretty new to this and have tried looking but cant seem to get the search criteria right. I have a database with a storeDate field which is of shortdatetime type. I am connecting to the database (MSSQL) via a stored procedure and returning all the records. I then use the code foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows) { DateTime dtTo = DateTime.Now; DateTime dtFrom = DateTime.Parse(dr["storeDate"].ToString()); TimeSpan diff = dtTo.Subtract(dtFrom); } I am basically trying to find out the age of the database entry by subtracting it from the current DateTime so i can delete records over a certain age. The problem (at least one of them!) is retrieving the "storeDate" object from the database and storing it in the dtFrom object. I have tried just assigning it directly as dtFrom = dr["storeDate"] and various other methods but I just don't know enough to assign it! Can anyone help me with this or spot any other mistakes in this process of removing old files automatically. Greatly Appreciated,Sean.

Here's some code that says it should identify if a user already exists in my database. I have changed the code to match my database, but it seems to have somewhat the opposite affect, rejecting all names (even new ones) or accepting all names (including existing ones). The switch in situations occurs in the "if" statement towardsd the end, when I change the sign of objDR.RecordsAffected. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Thanks.
Function DoesUserExist(ByVal userName As String) As Boolean
Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)Netsdk'; trusted_connection=true; Database='AuthorizedUsers'"
Dim sqlConnection As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)
Dim queryString As String = "SELECT [Users].[UserName] FROM [Users] WHERE ([Users].[UserName] = @UserName)"
Dim sqlCommand As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConnection)
Dim Cmd as New SQLCommand(queryString, sqlConnection)
With Cmd.Parameters
.Add(New SQLParameter("@username", username))
End With
sqlConnection.Open
Dim blHasRows As Boolean
Dim objDR As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader = Cmd.ExecuteReader(system.data.CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
if objDR.RecordsAffected > 0 then
blHasRows="True"
else
blHasRows="False"
End If
Return blHasRows

Hi all,
Newbie here, just wanted to get that out of the way first
and foremost.
Im trying to set up a DB in SQL 2000 that allows me to enter
lots of text into a column.
I read one site where it said to use the NTText datatype with a length
of 16. I did that, but everytime I enter alot of text into that column
I get <Long Text> and I dont know how to output that or even
read it.
Do any of you guys know how to either:
1. get the text out of the <long text> or
2. a better way to store that much data.
Thank you in advance!!!

Hey there, could someone please help me!!
I had created a database in sql server but since then installed windows xp pro and now when i go through the microsoft sql server dsn configuration the database is not valid and therefore i cannot change the default database as it says it doesn't exist.
So then when i type in command prompt use 'db' it says it doesn't exist but when i try to create 'db' it says that the database already exists.
I get the error message, could not locate entry in sysdatabases for 'cti' (database name).
When i look in mysql - data - along with master etc there is my cti.mdf and log files??
I'm stuck???
Is it that the files just aren't registering through sql server???

Hi,
I have the following situation:
I have a table that is log of transactions of useractions. Each time a userstatus changes, a new entry is made into the table.
The table has (currently) about 4 million records, and keeps growing each day with thousands of records. It logs the status of about 150 users (currently active).
What I now want is to get the log-entry from all the distinct users that have a log-entry on the latest day (so current day, 'where TimeStamp > 2008-04-08').
(extremely simplified) Example:
(date is y/m/d)
USERID TIMESTAMP STATUS
----------------------------------------------------
... (thousands and millions of records above)

I have an online store with products and categories. The requirements are: Each product can be in one or more categories; a product must be in at least one category.
To accomplish the first requirement, I have a Product table, Category table, and a many-to-many Product2Category table. (Probably not relevant, but a requirement is the Category table is self-referencing to provide sub-categories.)
My question is for the second requirement that each Product be in at least one category. My assumption would be to add a column to the Product table called "ParentCategoryId", which is a foriegn key of the Category table's identity column.
What would be the best approach to ensure a product is in at least one category?
Thank you.

I am writing a select statement to retrieve all data for a particular region. I need to select only the callerid's which are valid for that region.
I have two tables:
tblone contains PbX data, eg regionalid, callerid, donglearea and regionaldialup, tbltwo contains regionalid, and two columns which when concatenated make up a substring of the tblone.callerid...
i need to do a check of the callerid in tblone against tbltwo to make sure it is a valid callerid. (ie. it is present in tbltwo) N.B. the concatenation of the two columns in tbltwo is only a substring of tblone.callerid.
It is easy to concatenate the two rows and place them in a temp table, how do i then search through this table and if it is present, allow my select statement to print this entire row as part of the result set?
if the callerid in tblone is not valid i have to do something similar against a dongle table using the donglearea field and if the dongle area is not valid i have to use the regionaldialup field and by using a predefined value (eg. 0800003554) to determine if the row is valid and should be selected.
I then have to delete everything which was not valid from the table.
I am a junior sql administrator and your help would be much appreciated!
thanks!

question... i heard a bit about Control Macro Generator but have not found much reading material on it. here at our company we have employees fill out a weekely timesheet and typically have clerks enter the information into the TM.PTA.00 (Project Timesheet with Rate/Amount Entry) and submit it that way. say we have this timesheet in a nice little excel sheet with columns that match the input boxes on the form, how can we get it to automatically input the data instead of having a person sit there and type it all in?

First, let me say I'm really new (and probably dangerous) with SQL.
I want to take a column in my database called "publish_up" and add 4 days to the date and put it in a column in the database called "publish_down." The publish_up date is the date to start publishing and the publish_down is the date to stop publishing. A Joomla! mambot will then come by and archive the items with a publish_down date that matches today's date.
I'm pretty sure my server has SQL 5 if that's an issue.
Thanks for any advice or help you can offer.
