Is their anybody knows how to make field in Sql Server autoincrement?
pls. help me.
Hi All,
This may sound quite easy for you, however I am a newbie in SQL.
So I have an identity field, which I wish to increment automatically every time I do an insert. However the starting integer has to be the MAX value from another table.
So for example I am doing an insert in a #temp table
INSERT INTO #temp(name, surname)
SELECT name, surname from table1
Now the personId of the #temp table has to start from the MAX of table2
Ie SELECT MAX(personId) from table2
The SELECT MAX(personId) from table2 can also be NULL, ie the first time I am inserting, so I also have to cater for this scenario.
can anyone help?
Thanks

How can I know that a column is auto incremented or not? What are the commands used to know this??
Thanks guys

Is it possible to implement autoincrement with SQLexpress edition?
Hey, quick question here. In my database for my webapp (The one I showed you guys in my previous post), in my stickies table, I am using a column called StickyId for the PK, and it is of type int. My concern is that eventually, I may get to a point with more then 2 million records in the stickies field. I am looking at using the bigint datatype for StickyId instead, but it takes up twice the memory. So I have two questions:1. Can I declare the StickyId column as type int for now, and if my DB ever starts approaching the 2 million mark, access my DB and change it over to a bigint type? Aka, will MS SQL convert the exisiting int values into a bigint and be transparent to the app and the users?2. Does the bigint always use 8 bytes to store its value? Aka does it pad, so that if I stored the value of '1' would that take the same space as if I stored the value '43563636'? Or is it more like varchar, only taking up the space that that particular value needs?Thanks in advance guys!
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi there! My question is: I use a bigint data type as a primary key in my database, so
1. Can I define bigint autoincrement as unsigned?
2. In case of possible, what type should I use in C# code that equal to bigint unsigned - ulong?
3. In case of impossible, what type should I use in C# code - long?
Thanks
I created a new table in sql server 2005. Primary key is autoincrement value of 1. But when I insert the row, it increments by 4. It goes like 1, 5, 9 etc..what could be the problem ?how can I correct it? Do I need to reseed it?
Thanks!!
looking for necessary syntax to alter table id to autoincrement adding identity statement, not sure on syntax for seed an increment, or if it is possible at all.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI noticed in SQL ODBC API reference that SQLGetTypeInfo would return true for AUTO_INCREMENT if a smallint field is defined as autoincrement. Is there a simple way to set a field autoincrement thru the SQL Server`s front end?

Hey guys,
I have 2 tables:
1. CommandCode( id AutoIncrement_integer, name string )
2. FooCode( FooID integer, CommandCodeID integer)
I have the following stored procedure
PROCEDURE InsertRows( CodeName VARCHAR )
INSERT INTO CommandCode ( name ) VALUES (CodeName)
Now right here I need to INSERT INTO the "FooCode" table using the same ID that was just added to the CommandCode table. How can I retrieve the last inserted autoincrement value for "id" in the CommandTable without doing SELECT id FROM CommandCode WHERE name = CodeName
END PROCEDURE
Is there an easy way to do what I described above? If possible I want it to comply with SQL standards (e.g. no MS SQL specific code)
Thanks!
Hi all!
Does anyone knows how to get if a column is autoincrement or not, using the DatabaseMetaData in java, or using de JTurbo driver for it?
Is there any other way to figure this out?
:confused:
Thank you very much in advance for any replies.
I am creating a trigger in SQL Server that will activate when my Athelete table has something "Inserted"
So far it works except for the fact that it won't insert a null into the Equipment_ID field. I need it to autoincrement, or do the last number + 1...
CREATE TRIGGER TRG_NEW_EQUIPMENT1
ON ATHLETE AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Equipment Equipment_ID, Equipment_Model, Equipment_Year, Equipment_Brand, Equipment_Color, Equipment_Condition_Rating)
VALUES ('Big Spin','2016','K2','Blue','5')
END;

Hi,I'm enclosed a snippet of test code which highlights my problem. The Storedprocedure insertValue should insert text into the parent, then insert othertext into the child table but the 2 tables should auto increment in sync(i.e. so that they both end up with the same id numbers). I've tried takingthe auto increment out of the child table but then I don't know how to getthe right parent id into the child table.Any advice appreciated - this is my first database, so I'm just in thelearning process really. Code follows:CREATE TABLE Parent(id INTEGER DEFAULT AUTOINCREMENT,parenttext VARCHAR(16),PRIMARY KEY (id))!CREATE TABLE Child(childID INTEGER INTEGER DEFAULT AUTOINCREMENT,childtext VARCHAR(16),FOREIGN KEY (childid) REFERENCES Parent(id),PRIMARY KEY (childID))!CREATE PROCEDURE insertValues(in p VARCHAR(16), in c VARCHAR(16))BEGINinsert into parent (parenttext) values (p);insert into child (childtext) values (c);END!call insertValues('from parent', 'from child')!select * from parent, child where parent.id = child.childid!

View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm currently writing a small application that is using SQL Server as a back-end database. A part of my database looks something lie the following:
Tables:
Orders(OrderId[int, PK], OrderDescription[varchar] etc...)
OrderLines(OrderId[int, PK, FK], OrderLineId[int, PK], etc...)
What I need to achieve is - everytime that a new line is inserted into an orderlines table part of the primary key will be the OrderId and the OrderLineId should be auto-incremented from 1 for each OrderId in the OrderLines table.
I know i can do this manually in my program, but i'm just wondering if theres a way to achive this in SQL Server?
Thanks,

Hy! I am a beginner in SQLServer and I have to design a database with a lot of tables (30-50 tables). I have to choose a primary key for every table between an autoincrement and a GUID. If I choose autoincrement after an insert statement (from the client) I will have to go back to the server to get the value of the primary key which is a waste of time. On the other hand if I choose a GUID I can create the guid from the client and send him with the other values of the new row to the server and I have not to go back to the server. I am aware of the disk space of a guid field so which is the best for me: GUID or AUTOINCREMENT? Thank you!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use Microsoft SQL Server and also I have several tables. One table has ID like PK, and name. ID use autoincrement number mode, and now when I want start form one but not from 156 or like that. I don't know how? And also when I delete all data from table an run my apllication and add something in table, it starts form last number, not from one.
Maybe can I do it from SQL menagement studio?
How I can reset table and start from 1?

I want to write the following query.
SELECT CASE WHEN Member.CuApplicationDocFK = 'NULL' THEN 'Existing' ELSE 'New' END AS MemberType
FROM Member
But the problem is Member.CuApplicationDocFK is bigint type. When I run the query it gives a error message saying "error converting data type varchar to bigint.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
Thanks
The documentation seems to suggest that I can store either a signed or unsigned value in bigint. If I want to store an unsigned value how do I go about it?

This select qry runs for abt 20 mins, I think convert to bigint is causing the slowness. Underlying tbl has abt 50000 recs. Pl note that I am runnign this in SQL SERVER 2005, Where it takes abt 20 mins. However when I run this on SQL Server 2000, it takes only 4 mins.
ANy ideas to speed up this qry.
select distinct convert(bigint,c.loannum) as loannum ,c.ampsstatus ,((convert(char(10),c.insdate,110) )) as MaxInsdate
from Conversion_AllStatus_History2007 c
where ((convert(char(10),c.insdate,110) )) =(select max((convert(char(10),a.insdate,110) )) from
Conversion_AllStatus_History2007 a
where convert(bigint,a.loannum)=convert(bigint,c.loannum))
Hi, im trying to insert values into 2 different tables. The primary key in the first table is an auto increment field, which is then the foreign key in the 2nd table.Is there any way to retrieve the autogenerated value before performing the second insert. I have done some searching on the matter, but to no avail.I tried using LAST_INSERT_ID() but i get the error message that it is not a recognized function name. The other option is using @@identity but i cant see how to put that into my SQL statement.Can anyone help please.Thanks in advanceGareth
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm getting reports of a strange problem with an ASP.NET application I've written. I've checked the database tables and the problem is definately a strange one, and one I've yet to pin down or even recreate.On this system, clients can type in their details through a .NET 2.0 wizard. At the end of the wizard their data is stored on the database using several linked tables. It's always worked for me and my client, but now when their clients are using it, some of the data is missing. The problem, however, is that I can't see how it can just disappear and was wondering if someone could shed some light on SQL.There are two tables that are baffling me. Their structure is like this:Table 1id - autoincrement columnnameaddressetc ...Table 2id - autoincrement columncontactDetailsetc ...The contactDetails column on table 2 is taken from the id column of table 1. When a new record is added to table 1, it obviously increments the id for the new row, then it takes this id (using scope_identity()) and writes it to the contactDetails column of table 2 when a new row is added to that table. All straightforward enough.However, for some reason, some of the new rows in table 1 are missing and yet, the contactDetails column of table 2 contains the ids of those missing rows. How is that even possible? Can there be situations where MSSQL 2000 will generate/return an id even when it has failed to write to the database?
