Changing Identity Column Value
Jul 30, 2007Hi. Is there a way to remove a gap between identity column values? Some records were deleted and now we have identity column values that jump all over the place.

Changing Identity Column Format
Mar 19, 2007Hi,
Is it possible to change the format of the identity column? i.e. I have and integer value that will be the ID for the records to follow in the database. Instead of the values being 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 etc I want them still to be in sequence but I want the format to be 001,002,003,004,005,006,007,008,009 etc.
Is it possible to do that in SQL when you're creating the table?

View 2 Replies View RelatedChanging Identity Seed And Increment After The Fact
Mar 16, 2004Hi all,
I've been thrown a curve ball late in the game on an application I'm developing. Without getting into the specifics of the application I store a unique employee ID number for all person records in it. This ID is provided to us by the companies we're servicing. Up until this point in time we didn't have need of an externally visable ID other than the one provided to us. Now, a need for an internally generated (by our application) unique ID has been discovered. This number needs to be a minimum 5 digits (e.x. 10001, 10002, ....). I could achieve this nicely by seeding an identity column at 10000 with an increment of 1. However, I've alredy made different settings for this and there are records in the db with the old ones.
My question is: If I initially set the seed / increment at 1/1 can I change this after the fact without causing data integrity problems. Will all subsequent insertions into this table just start at the new values?
Or, ideally I'd like to create a new column seperate from the PK Identity column already in place that serves the same function, incrementing a 5 digit number by 1 for each new record. Seems that you're only allowed one identity column per table though. Is there another way to achieve get the same result as identity?
Thanks!
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Update Identity Column With Identity Value
Jan 25, 2015I have table of three column first column is an ID column. However at creation of the table i have not set this column to auto increment. Then i have copied 50 rows in another table to this table then set the ID column values to zero.
Now I have changed the ID column to auto increment seed=1 increment=1 but the problem is i couldn't figure out how to update this ID column with zero value set to each row with this auto increment values so the ID column would have values from 1-50. Is there a away to do this?

How To Use Identity On Non-identity Column (with Concurrence)
Aug 1, 2014I'm working with a third-party database (SQL Server 2005) and the problem here is the following:
- There are a bunch of ETL processes that needs to insert rows on a table (let's call this table T) and at the same time, an ERP (owner of T) is up and running (reading, updating and inserting on T).
- The PK of T is an Integer.
Today all ETL processes uses (select max(ID) + 1 from T) to insert new rows, so just picture the scenario. It is a mess! Everyday they get duplicate key error when 2 or more concurrent processes are trying to insert a row (with the max) at the same time.
Considering that I can't change the PK, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
To sum up:
* I need to have processes in parallel inserting on T
* I can't change anything on T
* The PK is NOT an Identity
How To Refer A Column When The Referencing Column Is An Identity Column

The requirement is to have a table say 'child_table', with an Identity column to refer another column from a table say 'Parent_table'..
i cannot implement this constraint, it throws the error when i execute the below Alter query,
ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id)
REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
the error thrown is :
Failed to execute alter table query: 'ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT

any workarounds for this ?

QUERY : Changing Row To Column
Apr 21, 2008Hi all,
I have a problem writing a query to change row to column with some conditions and computations. It's appreciated if you guys can give some ideas.
Below is the sample data:
CREATE TABLE Item (Line int, Code nvarchar(8),Price decimal, Check nvarchar(1))
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (1,'001',200 ,'Y')
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (2,'002',300 ,'Y')
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (3,'003',500 ,'Y')
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (4,'004',1000,'N')
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (5,'005',2000,'N')
The expected result :
Line with check = 'N' must be converted to column(s).
Line Code Price Item004 Item005
1 001 200 1000 * (200/200+300+500) 2000 * (200/200+300+500)
2 002 300 1000 * (300/200+300+500) 2000 * (300/200+300+500)
3 003 500 1000 * (500/200+300+500) 2000 * (500/200+300+500)
Note : I would like to avoid using any cursors if possible.

Oct 27, 2003Hi guys,
Is there any way or method to CHANGE the DATATYPE of a column in a published table being used for transactional replication (MSSQL 2000), WITHOUT DROPPING THE SUBSCRIPTION ????
Im stuck in this mess and do have the option to drop the subscription, alter the table, create the subscription and rerun the snapshot or to recreate it by Manual Synchronisation either.
Can anyone help? Has anyone been across this dilemma before and have troubleshooted the problem? If yes, help is much appreciated.
MY PROBLEM:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'MyTable' is currently being published and has subscriptions to it. The PRIMARY KEY column 'id' has an Identity property as well. 'id' is of datatype smallint, however because of bad planning, i now need to change that datatype to an integer to support a larger range WITHOUT DROPPING SUBSCRIPTIONS.
I CANT DROP THE COLUMN EITHER AS IT IS BEING THE PRIMARY KEY COLUMN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I CAN DO TO ARCHIEVE MY GOAL? THANKYOU.
Union Changing Column Results?
Feb 3, 2005I have a problem with a union all that seems to be changing the results of a column based on using the union, when I run the querys separatly I get the expected results in the field!
Basically 3 queries pulled together for reporting purposes.
Orders (which can include a gift so the gifts are separated in the second query).
OrderGifts (pulled out of the orders).
Gifts (straight gifts with no associated orders).
The problem is showing up in the first ORDERS query. I can pull a specific order and the calculation for the AMOUNT(eg:$15.20) is correct, but when I combine the tables I get a different AMOUNT(eg:$15.199999999999999).
Here are the values for the fields in the amount calc:
totitems=12.9500
totcredits=.0000
discount=.0000
tax=.0000
refund=.0000
convrate=1.0
postage=2.2500
giftamt=15.0000
I tried converting each of the fields to an decimal befre the calc and same results
I tried ROUND and same thing!
I have been trying to chase this down all day, cant figure out what the problem is or how to get around it...whats going on here I am missing?

When I run that command, I get a message that it was sucessful. However, when I try to enter data into the changed column, the number of characters I can enter is still 255. I check the information schema for the column and the 'character_maximum_length' field is 500.

How To Modify A Column Without Changing Data
Feb 26, 2007Hi,
I was wondering how to modify a column's properties, like its datatype or length.
I know I'm supposed to do something like this:
ALTER TABLE MyTable ALTER COLUMN MyColumn int(20)
My main concern is, what will the database do to all the data in the column, if the column used to be, say nvarchar(50)? Will I lose the data in the column if I change the datatype? And what if I had data in this column that was longer than 20 characters? Will the data now be truncated? What can I do to make sure that nothing happens to the data once I change the datatype?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! =)

If you don't think it can be done2. If you think Enterprise Manager is the only way to do this3. If you think I should just change the order of my Selectstatements4.

If you want to ask me why I want to do thisWish:Hopefully the answer WON'T involve creating a brand new table, movingthe data from old to new, dropping the old table, then renaming thenew table to the old name.
