Not Able To Create An Identity Column For An Existing Database Table

Feb 1, 2008

I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable.
What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify.
There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues.
The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it?
 +Identity Specification   (Is Identity)   Identity Increment   Identity Seed

Tempoary Table Question - How To Create One With The Same Schema As An Existing Table?

Jul 28, 2006

Hello,

I'd like to create a temporary table with the same schema as an exiting table. How can I do this without hard coding the column definitions into the temporary table definition?

I'd like to do something like:

CREATE TABLE #tempTable LIKE anotherTable

..instead of...

CREATE TABLE #tempTable (id INT PRIMARY KEY, created DATETIME NULL etc...

I'm sure there must be a simple way to do this!

Many thanks,

Create New Table From Several Existing Tables?

Apr 8, 2012

I have three tables :

England_Summer_2001
England_Summer_2002
England_Summer_2003

The tables have the following columns :

Player, Position, [From], [To], Fee, Type, ID, League, Window

I want to create a new table, EnglandFinal with all the data from the three tables although I'm guessing it would not be a good idea to copy the primary keys (ID column) as they would clash.

I have played around with CREATE and INSERT into and UNION but I get various errors. I'm sure I've done this before!

This creates a table from a single table :

select * into Final
from England_Summer_2001

Show Changes Between Records In Main Table And Audit Table

Aug 2, 2006

Hallo
i have two tables, MainTable and MainTableAudit: the second one keeps DML auditing via triggers.
I'm trying to build a query to highlight changes occurred to fields between the MainTable record and its audited records in MainTableAudit, for example, let's suppose i entered an item with some wrong attributes, and edited it three times:
MainTable record contains the latest and current version
ID002|Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy|Sci-fi|240 pages
MainTableAudit contains edited ID002 versions
ID002|Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy|Sci-fi|232 pages|2006-07-08 08:32:12
ID002|Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy|Sci-fi|212 pages|2006-05-08 10:54:02
ID002|Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy|Sci-fi|222 pages|2006-07-04 11:42:16

I would like to build a report like this:
first insertion: Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy|Sci-fi|222 pages
modified on 2006-07-04 11:42:16: field "Title" changed from "Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy" to "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", field "PageNo" changed from "222" to "212"
modified on 2006-05-08 10:54:02: field "PageNo" changed from "212" to "232"
modified on 2006-07-08 08:32:12: field "PageNo" changed from "232" to "240"
current version: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy|Sci-fi|240 pages

i'd prefer to use T-SQL and keep all into a single place (a view or storedprocedure), or at least to use reporting services; btw i would like to avoid coding web pages or hosted applications.

SQL Server 2008 :: Recover Data In A Table - Restoring A Database Alongside Existing DB

Apr 17, 2015

I need to recover some data in a table but i'm not 100% sure the right way to do this safely.

I'll need to query the two tables to compare the before and after but how do i go about restoring/attaching the backup database to SQL without causing conflicts?

If I restore, I assume this would just overwrite which is obviously the worst thing that can happen. if i attach the backup, how does this affect the current live DB? how do i make sure that it's not getting accessed and mistaken for the live DB?

The SQL server is 2008 R2 running as a VM.

Default Table Owner Using CREATE TABLE, INSERT, SELECT && DROP TABLE

Nov 21, 2006

For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.

Extra Columns Or Another Table?

Jan 23, 2006

Hello

Before I start just wanna say thanks for all the top advice so far - much appreciated. My current quandry is this:-

I have a table called STOCK with columns ITEM_ID, ITEM & PRICE. Most of the stock is my own produce but i do buy-in some items. What i want to do is add some extra columns to STOCK for the supplier details on those items i buy in. The problem is that a lot of the fields in the supplier details columns will be empty. Would this be a problem or would it be better to have a seperate table for supplier details?

SQL 2012 :: Importing Excel Table Into Existing Table?

I am using the DTS wizard and having problems importing excel into an existing table.

Problem is that various column in excel are defined as double in the wizard but in my db table it is defined as an integer.

How do I get around this issue so the data types in excel can match up accordingly to my defined data type in my db table?

The wizard does a bad job of guessing the correct data type.

I have heard of using a staging table to import from excel and using that as my source to import into my existing table.

SELECT INSERT INTO Other Table With Extra Values

Mar 23, 2008

Hi,
I've got a table with trialsubscriptions. When someone orders a trialsubscription he has to fill in a form. With the values in the form I like to fill a database with some extra fields from the trialsubscription table. I get those extra fields with a datareader. But when I insert I can't use the same datareader (its an insert), I can't make two datareaders because I have to close the first one etc.
Does someone had the same problem and has some example code (or make some :-)) Some keywords are also possible!
Thanks!

Trigger Doesn't Log Into The Audit Table If The Column Of Table Has Trigger On Is Null

Jan 23, 2008



Hi,

I have a trigger set on TABLE1 so that any update to this column should set off trigger to write to the AUDIT log table, it works fine otherwise but not the very first time when table1 has null in the column. if i comment out

and i.req_fname <> d.req_fname from the where clause then it works fine the first time too. Seems like null value of the column is messing things up

Any thoughts?


Here is my t-sql


Insert into dbo.AUDIT (audit_req, audit_new_value, audit_field, audit_user)

select i.req_guid, i.req_fname, 'req_fname', IsNull(i.req_last_update_user,@default_user) as username from inserted i, deleted d

where i.req_guid = d.req_guid

and i.req_fname <> d.req_fname



Thanks,
leo

1) Null Value In Foreign Key 2) Extra Value To Indicate All The Values In PK Table Apply

Feb 27, 2007

I have two tables  1) tblCustomer (ID, Name, City)  2) tblemp (ID, NAME, Dept.ID, tblcustomer.ID)
Both the tables have ID as PKA emp can be either assigned a) All customers b)single customer c) NO customer
Pls note:- there will never be 2 or 3 customer linked to emp (my actuall requirement tables are different but to explain i am using the above tables)
I know how to assign single customer......but had problem how to link all customers and "no customer"
Please tell me if the following solution is right?1) I will manually insert a record in tblCustomer with id 0 as " all customers" and will not allow the user to delete it 2) store null in FK if it is "no customer"
Also please tell me is it ok to store one more value in tblCustomer as -1 and take it as "No customer"
I have a DDL in the Employee page which should be displaying the names of allthe customers with 2 extra values "ALL CUSTOMERS" and "SELECT"  Select is the default value in DDL which says "NO CUSTOMER" selected yet
Thank youSara
