Constant In Autonumber ID Field
Apr 15, 2007
I know this may be in the wrong forum, but I have a question. I am working on a system for a video store. I have rentals and sales for videos. I have set the ID fields for rentals and sales to be autonumbers and increment by 1, but I would like to have an S in front of sales IDs and R in front of rental IDs at all times. It is kind of like a constant in all autonumber ID fields. I want the S and R to be in every ID field, but the number to change. Thanks.

Is there a perf difference between:
create function dbo.zzz
returns uniqueidentifier
return '0000-0000-0000-00000000'
select dbo.zzz
vs.

Hi,
what happens when the autonumber field becomes bigger than MAX_INT?
If I get arithmetic overflow, how i can avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance

Hello--
I'm importing data from an Access table and, of course, one field is a primary key. This field needs to be an autonumber. The problem is the data I'm importing isn't sequential.
Can I import the data, then alter the table to make the column increment or is there a way to create the table and make the field increment, but import non-sequential data?
HELP!
Thanks,
grimey

Hi,
I have developed a web database application using ASP and MS Access, however the requirement for hosting the application is that it must use an MS SQL Server database. I converted the database to SQL without any problems, and many features of the application work under SQL Server except the 'add record' function. I realised there isn't an 'autonumber' field in SQL Server (which i use as the primary key for many tables), but an 'int' field. I considered pulling out the latest int from the database, incrementing it manually and adding the new record with this number... i also noticed there is a 'unique identifier' field.
Is there a quick solution for this problem?
Thanks

I am building a simple table, populated by ASP form, where every record should be assigned a unique ID. When working with Access I used `autonumber` datatype to keep track of every record. Can something like this be done with MS SQL server, if not what do you think is a good way to solve the problem ??
Thanks,
Robert :)

In an effort to automate a process, I am trying to populate a csv textfile with data from a SQL Server 2000 database that will be imported by a proprietary database; however, not all of the data required to go into the textfile is available in the source db. Fortunately, the data I'm needing has constant values for the fields that I want to populate, i.e Lab Name. Whereas, the Destination database will receive data from other labs but not via this source.
Is it possible to use a constant rather than a db field within the SQL query to populate one of the textfile fields. (I placed "LABNAME" in where I would like it to go) A portion of my present SQL statement is:
Select LEFT([SAMPNAME], 4) AS IUNUM, RIGHT(LEFT([SAMPNAME], 8), 3) AS SITENUM, convert(varchar,[SAMPDATE], 112) as SAMPDATE, [BDL] AS "SAMPNUM", [ANALYTE], (CASE [STARTDATE]-[SAMPDATE] WHEN 0 THEN '2' ELSE '1' END) AS METHOD, convert(varchar,[STARTDATE], 112) as STARTDATE, [FINAL], [BDL], "LABNAME", [NOTES1], [SAMPLER], [ORDNO], [UNITS]
From [CUSTOMER]
As you can see, I have already done a lot of formatting within the statement but would appreciate someone's SQL expertise to tell me if using a constant is possible or not.
Thanks,
Al

Hi,
I want to bcp data file generated by other system into a table maintened by our system. While generating the bcp data file they leave data value for id column empty (because they are not aware of the value in our system).
I want to specify a constant value for id column during bcp. Is there any way i can specify a constant value in bulk insert command? Can i specify it in format file?
Although i can read the bcp file and do transformation in front end (C#) it is time consuming. I can bcp data and then fire a update statement to update id column, this is also found to be time consuming task.
Any help would be appriciated.
Many thanks,
Rishi

hello
I want to get output like this if i give the strings:
output:
====
25813/3
25813/115
25813/208
here "25813/" must be constant and remaining part must come in orderly way.
but in MS SQL the first inserted value is getting first i.e if we give value 25813/115 is getting first.
I will show in example:
create table number(num varchar(20))
insert into number values('25818/115')
insert into number values('25818/208')
insert into number values('25818/3')
The output coming is:
color
1 25818/115
2 25818/208
3 25818/3
BUT I REQUIRE THE OUTPUT AS:
color
1 25818/3
2 25818/115
3 25818/208
since 3 comes first than others.
If anyone knows please tell.

Hi, I have a small problem with my database. I've got following situation: I have a computed column, which value is base on currency rate: rent * rate. Users have to have possibility to change currency rate easily (maybe another table or constant). Is there any way to create formula, which would compute value properly, via constant or something like this? Or the easiest workaround would be load data into dataset (I'm building asp.net application - database will be very small - couple of hundreds of records) and make calculations programmatically?

Hi, thanks for taking a minute to help me out.
I've got a bunch of reports that have very specific formatting requirements (not mine, industry standards). Basically I need to have different headers and footers on each page, so I don't think I can use the report's headers and footers. Instead I'd like to use each table's (one for each page) set of headers and footers. This is fine for getting the data in there, but I'd like the table footer to be forced to be at the bottom of the page because having a footer halfway down just looks bad.
To summarize, is it possible to have a table footer be in the same place on a page (almost) regardless of how many rows there are returned.
pg1 pg2
header header
data data
data
footer footer
I'd prefer not to split each page into a different report and use those footers, so if there are any other hacks out there I'd really appreciate it
Thanks, Jeff

Guys I want to get the date ranges instrument wise for which the instrument readings are constant.
For example for instrument 1 the readings are constant i.e 10 from 10/12/2008
till 12/12/2008 & then again it is constant from 14/12/2008 till 17/12/2008.
Same goes for instrument id 2.It is constant from 07/03/2008 till 20/03/2008.
I need to get the output like this.
StartDate EndDate Readings
10/12/2008 12/12/2008 10
14/12/2008 17/12/2008 10

I am interested in creating a query that will test if a value is the same in a particular field.
For example, if the value is "0", or "000", or "000000" or "333", "444444", I would like to extract it. Otherwise omit the value.

I am developing a report analog of a machine readable form that has to display a static number of detail rows regardless of the number returned from the database - i.e. if a record set has only three detail records, I need to display three blank rows, while if the record set has ten detail records, I need to display six detail records, print the footer, start a new page, repeat the header information, print the remaining 4 detail records and 2 blank rows, print the footer again and move on to the remaining recordset. I am new to report development and I'm having to pick it up on the fly. I can't seem to locate any documentation about how to handle this scenario.
I don't have the time or inclination to re-invent the wheel here, is there anyone who has solved this problem who can point me in the direction of some help?

Hi,
I have to compare a DATETIME Field with '1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM". Which is default DATE TIME Value in SQL Server.
I did compare like
TRADEAGREEMENTFROMDATE != (DT_DBTIMESTAMP)(DATEPART("mm",(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)"1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM"))
but (DT_DBTIMESTAMP)(DATEPART("mm",(DT_DBTIMESTAMP)"1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM")) returns "12/31/1800 12:00:00:AM"
Thanks,

hi all,
when I try to do the following insert for the table test
create table test (outputs character(10), chk integer)
insert into test values('a',((select count(*) from test where outputs='a')+1))
I am getting the error
The name 'outputs' is illegal in this context. Only constants, constant expressions, or variables allowed here. Column names are illegal.
when i tried the same in DB2 it's working fine. is there anyerror in my syntax or this kind of function not allowed in SQL Server.
regards

Is there a sample way to define string constant which every stored procedure can use in SQL 2005 ? 1. In stored procedure A, there is select a1,a2,a3,a4 from mytable where usename='qaz'2. In stored procedure B, there isselect a1,a2,a3,a4 from mytable where VisitNumber>33. I hope there is a sample way to define string constant such as: constant mystring='a1,a2,a3,a4'4. So I can use this string constant both stored procedure A and stored procedure bsuch as:select mystring from mytable where usename='qaz' select mystring from mytable where VisitNumber>35. How can I do that? is there a sample way? Mnay Thanks!

I'm trying to fill a temp table whose columns are the same as another table plus it has one more column. The temp table's contents are those rows in the other table that meet a particular condition plus another column that is the name of the table that is the source for the rows being added.
Example: 'permTable' has col1 and col2. The data in these two rows plus the name of the table from which it came ('permTable' in this example) are to be added to #temp.
Data in permTable
col1 col2
11, 12
21, 22
Data in #temp after permTable's filtered contents have been added
TableName, col1 col2
permTable, 11, 12
permTable, 21, 22
What is the syntax for an insert like this?

I have SSAS 2008 Enterprise sp2 (not R2) running on a production server. One of the dimensions is defined as real-time Rolap - set to clear the cache whenever the table changes.
I placed triggers on that table to be sure, so I know no changes occur on that table sometimes for 10 or 15 minutes at a time - and yet I get 100's of change notifications (I noticed them on a profiler session). It seems as though the notifications come as often as the dimension gets queried.
I think this is causing one of my longer running queries to fail because of locking issues. I assume this is because the queries are getting killed when they're in middle of using an outdated cache.
The strange thing is that I cannot reproduce this on the dev servers. The main difference between the dev and production servers is that the production servers are behinfd a cluster. I don't know if that could make any difference.
I really need to know why I'm getting so many notifications.
