Can DTS Automatically Create Primary Key Values Upon Export?
May 5, 2004
I have two practice tables I have created and want to export the values of one into the source table. I want to know if I can export into a table and have the destination table automatically give a primary key value to a record? I haven't been able to figure this out even after fiddling with the "Enable identity insert" checkbox under the Column Mappings tab. I have created source tables with and without primary keys and neither works because of the fact that I need to have a value for a primary key in order to INSERT into the destination.
Do I have to copy the source records into a staging table and assign the PK values myself by hand? This can't be the answer.
I would like to get the primary key values in a DML CREATE TRIGGER as follows: CustomerID = 12 AND InvoiceID = 50 I create the DML trigger for UPDATE and DELETE only, how do I retrieve the values as above ? Jon Galloway provided a sample in http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/01.aspx but the Primary Key Field and Primary Key Value were inserted into separate columns while I need to combine the Primary Key Field and Primary Key Value into 1 single field, using his example, I want to form the primary key as: ScoreId = 423 ScoreId = 3064 etc. Note that his example only show a single primary key in a table whereas I need to handle multiple primary keys in a table.
Ok, I'm really new at this, but I am looking for a way to automatically insert new records into tables. I have one primary table with a primary key id that is automatically generated on insert and 3 other tables that have foreign keys pointing to the primary key. Is there a way to automatically create new records in the foreign tables that will have the new id? Would this be a job for a trigger, stored procedure? I admit I haven't studied up on those yet--I am learning things as I need them. Thanks.

I am new to SQL Server platform, i want to define primary keys automatically other than using an identity. For a table called indicator i want it primary keys to be like ind_001, ind_002, ind_003 and so on.
Can anybody help me on how to do this? I am new to this platform so i will appreciate it if suggestions are explained very clearly. Thank you
We have several Sql Server 2014 AlwaysOn Availability Groups set up in our test lab and use a combination of SCDPM and Maintenance Plans to back up the databases in them.
Our applications always work well regardless of which of the physical servers are, at any given time, designated the "Primary" for a database. Automatic failover works fine.
There are other applications, such as SQL Server built-in backup and System Center DPM that only work properly when the databases are currently hosted where originally intended.
During the normal course of Windows Updates, etc., machines will occasionally be rebooted in the middle of the night. When they come back up, we would like them to "reclaim" the databases that properly belong to them, in an orderly fashion of course (when the "Synchronization State = Sychronized"). We have lots of these test servers and we do not have staff watching the servers in the middle of the night.
Is it possible to have a report automatically export the results to Excel, when the report is generated? ...rather than having to select the format and click Export? .Pl let me know-Thanks.
I am new to SQl Server, i have created a logical model for a database that i am creating for a project. Is there a way i can assign automatic values to my Primary Key (PK) Column other than using an identity?
For example i have a table called indicator for which the Primary Key (PK) is indicator_identifier; i want the primary key values to be ind_0001 ind_0002 ind_0003
Please note that i may be populating the tables from a VB.NET form
I am trying to audit data quality based on some defined data quality rules. The rules are stored in tables and processed using stored procedures. I am facing a problem while generating audits. Let's say I am trying to audit data in OrderDetail table. The table design is mentioned below...I inserted some sample data into the table using RedGate data generator.The audit table output I am expecting is as mentioned in the screenshot below
Its the PrimaryKeyAttributeValues column I am facing problems with. I am using STUFF function within a dynamic SQL query to get the primary key's as a list of comma separated values.
I am building code to look into the database and create "CRUD" stored procedure scripts automatically for each table. I am in the finishing stages as my procedures take into consideration all necessary parameters and keys wheter they are natural or identity. It also takes into consideration User Defined Types.
I am working on the section which defines the parameters and their default values. ie. CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[TransactionHistoryInsertOne] ( @ProductID Int = 0, @ReferenceOrderID Int = 0, @ReferenceOrderLineID Int = 0, @TransactionDate DateTime = '1/1/1900', <-- Possibly arbitrary @TransactionType nchar(1) = '?' <---- How to get this. @Quantity Int = 0, @ActualCost Money = 0, @ModifiedDate DateTime = '1/1/1900' ) AS...
I have three problems remaining. 1. Using the AdventureWorks database as a data model, I run into the TransactionType field in the TransactionHistory table, a non-nullable nchar(1). How do I determine and use any default values that may be defined for this object? 2. Do UDTs have default values already defined? 3. How do I make sure I am not arbitrarily setting the default values?
Here i my select statement into the system tables:
SELECT C.*, T.name as xtypename, U.name as xutypename, S.*, so.* FROM syscolumns C
left join systypes T on (C.xtype = T.xtype) and (T.xtype = T.xusertype) left join systypes U on C.xusertype = U.xusertype left join sys.all_columns S on (C.id = S.object_id) and (C.name = S.name) left join sysobjects so on S.default_object_id = so.id WHERE (C.id = [TableId])";
In the table, there is a record which has several field. every month, the function will create a same record. that means, the first month, one record. the secord month, two reocrds, ..... for a years. will have same 12 record. so what function can do this? Thanks.
Hello everybody!I'm using the 'Data Sources (ODBC)' program that comes with windows tocreate the odbc connections I need. Although that is quite fast and easy Iwould like to have it more automated, since I'm using the same parametersall the time.Can anybody tell me (or give pointers to) how that is done?regards--Johnny Ljunggren
hi, i have 2 tables where i require an unique ID over both. I googled a bit and discovered that i need to create an own table for this which holds the last value (because mssql unfortunately does not support sequences).
i did this but my problem now is that i want to automatically set the id of my tables with a trigger on INSERT.
hope this is possible .. or anyone have other suggestions? thanks a lot!
I have created a report, and am setting default values for the parameters. Once the default parameters is set, the report automatically generates. Is there a way to make it not automatically generate the report? We are setting the parameters with values that will get the end user the most recent data, but alot of times, they will want to pull older data as well. We don't want them to have to wait for the report to automatically generate before they can change the parameter values
I have a question about adding a unique key column to an existing table.

Hi, i am using the enterprise manager of our sql server 2000. i want to export some (not all) tables from one DB to another one with all the data inside these tables AND the primary keys. if i do i only receive the tables with the data but all primary keys and indexes will be lost. how to do it? thanks, tobi
Can someone tell me if there's a way to export data from one database to another without losing the primary key information that has been set in the source database?
When I export a table from my local SQL Server to my web-host's SQLServer, the primary key never seems to export. This happens whether Iuse the "Copy tables and views..." option or the "Copy objects anddata..." option. Anybody know why this happens?
Currently, I'm exporting a database from production to local (test)machine. I've done this several times without problem, but during thelast few days, the primary keys have failed to export. Would anyoneknow what options might keep the keys from exporting?Thanks,Louis
Is there a way that I can do this at the table level to automatically handle the rounding of seconds, etc. down to the minute automatically without having to use a trigger?
Here is a very basic example of what I am trying to do:
--example: '09-22-2007 15:07:18.850' this is the value inserted into the table by the code select getdate()
--example: '2007-09-22 15:07:00.000' this is the value I want to store in the table select dateadd(mi, datediff(mi, 0, getdate()), 0)
How to create insert statements of the data from a table for top 'n' rows. I know we can create using generate scripts wizard, but we can't customize the number of rows. In my scenario i got a database with 10 tables where every table got millions of records, but the requirement is to sample out only top 10000 records from each table.
I am planning to generate table CREATE statements from GENERATE Scripts wizard and add this INSERT STATEMENT at the bottom.
EX : INSERT [dbo].[table] ([SERIALID], [BATCHID] VALUES (126751, '9100278GC4PM1', )
I have an existing MS SQL database (2008 R2). I have a very simple SQL script. I need to automate this script means wants to create a job which runs on a Friday basis and save the output results of the query as a excel file and then automatically sends the mail to everyone.
A common partitioning scenario is when the partition column has the same value for every record in the partition, as opposed to a range of values. Am I the only person who wonders why there isn't an option to automatically partition a table based on the unique values of the partition column? Instead of defining a partition function with constants, you ought to be able to just give it the column and be done. This would be particularly valuable for tables partitioned on a weekly or monthly date; when new data is added it could simply create a new partition if one doesn't already exist.
l would like to run a health check on my newly designed database to ensure that l've covered all the necessary points to ensure that l have a good database. Is there there such a procedure?
If l want to create a primary key on a table with duplicates, how would l achive that? l tried to create a new table then create the pk. then ran the following script to populate
Hello group:I've done alot of reading on this subject somewhat and have found thatmany people have many different opinions on this subject. My questioncenters mainly around using a lookup table to enable users to select apre-defined list of values.I have developed a practice myself of avoiding AutoNumber type datafields for primary keys where the primary key will be related to achild table. Nevertheless, what do most users do with lookup tables?My thoughts are to create a small key value for each value in thelookup table. For example:I might have a Carriers table which shows a list of carriers that Imight ship an order by. One of the entries may be 'Air Freight -Overnight', or 'Air Freight - 2nd Day Air'. I've seen a few exampleswhere the primary key field for each entry like these would beautonumber, or at least, a numeric value. What I like to do is createmy own key, like for 'Air Freight - Overnight', I might use 'AFO' forthe key, and for 'Air Freight - 2nd Day Air', I might use 'AF2'. Anythoughts on this? Mine are that even tho the users may never see thisvalue - I, as the developer will see it and I tend to prefer a keyvalue based on real data that means something other than anauto-incremented number. In referencing the well-known Northwind.mdbdatabase, I noticed their Categories table used a number field value,like 1, 2, 3....etc, but their customers table used values like'ALFKI' to represent their key values.What are some other thoughts out there? I'm working with Accesscurrently, but this project is about to move to SQL Server.James
