Create Sequential Numbers In A Column
Jul 20, 2005
I have a temp table that's populated with an insert query in as tored
procedure. The temp table has a uniqueID as the primary key.
In that table I have a column SortOrder.
What I want to do is to create a sequential number in SortOrder but
only for records matching a WHERE statement, for example:
(pardon the shorthand...)
Insert *.tblPermanent into tblTemp
If myField = 1 then
SortOrder = 1(2,3,4,5,.....etc.)
else
SortOrder = 0
Thanks

Hi,
Can anyone tell me offhand the simplest/most elegant way of updating an integer column to a sequential column of numbers with a query?
e.g given
intval | Description| Cost
0 | Descvalue0| 4.32
2 | Descvalue2| 4.33
3 | Descvalue3| 4.34
8 | Descvalue8| 4.35
change it to:
intval | Description| Cost
0 | Descvalue0| 4.32
1 | Descvalue2| 4.33
2 | Descvalue3| 4.34
3 | Descvalue8| 4.35
I think it might need a stored proc..
Many Thanks
greg

I have a table with 13,000 rows, in one column called Prioirty each row has a value of 1.
Is it possible to use SQL to replace all of these '1' values with a sequential list. Example 1,2,3,4,5,6,7....all the way to 13,000?

Here is my problem. I have a table with 4 columns id1,id2,id3,boxnum. Here is some sample data.
id1 id2 id3 boxnum
1 1 1
1 1 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
2 2 2
2 3 4
What I need is to be able to update boxnum with sequential numbers based on the unique set of values from the id columns. So my output would be this.
id1 id2 id3 boxnum
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 2
1 2 1 1
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 3
2 2 2 1
2 3 4 1

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help

create a sequential aggregate of a column using sum in tsql.
I want a column that will sum up all hours work by transaction date.
for example
Monday my hours work will be 8 and therefore my total transaction hours will be 8.
Tuesday my hours work will be 8 but I want the total hours of my total transaction hours to 16.
Wed my total hours work will be 5 and I want the total hours of my total transaction hours to 21. etc.
Select myname, weekday, hours worked, Totalhours_ToDate =Sum(hours worked) from table

I have a query which returns information about transactions similar to this:
Select account, trans_code, quantity
from ledger_table
This returns something like:
acct trans_code quantity
----- ---------- ------------
2 2 1000
2 3 500
2 3 300
3 2 100
3 2 500
etc.
What I need to do is add a lot number for each acct/trans code type. This is merely a sequential number for the transaction. This changes the output as follows:
acct trans_code quantity lot
----- ---------- ------------ ---
2 2 1000 1
2 3 500 1
2 3 300 2
3 2 100 1
3 2 500 2
3 3 1000 3
3 5 200 1
etc.
The lot number is reset for each grouping.
Does anyone have a way to do this outside of a cursor or temp table?
TIA, any help greatly appreciated.

I am trying to automatically insert records into my existing customer table. Is there a way when I insert these new records and assign the customer number that it can sequentially pick the next available unique customer number for each record that is inserted? for example the first record would be customer number 100, the next 101, and so on? Please advise.

I have a column within a table which is already truncated/deleted all records within (Microsoft SQL 2008). I have to now populate the column with sequential numbers up to 50,000 records arbitrary numbers (doesn't mater) up to 7 characters.
what SQL statement I need to write that will automatically polulate the newly empty table with A000001,A0000002,A0000003, or any form for that matter etc so that I can sort number the records within the table.
I have approximately 50000 records which I need to sequentially entered and I really dont want to number the column manually via hand editing.

I have a database that is pre-populated with sequential part numbers.As people reserve the parts I update a flag to show the # is no longeravailable. Now they want the ability to take out a block of "x"number of sequential part numbers - say for example 5.If my database had the following numbers available:101104105110111112113114It should return 110 thru 114 and then I would write an update queryto change the flags to 1 (checked out).I have only been able to return the first "x" number of records - havenot been able to make sure they are stepped sequentially - with thefollowing:SELECT ID_ITEM From PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL M Where (Select Count(*)FROM PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL NWHERE N.ID_ITEM <= M.ID_ITEM) >= 0 AND TYPE_REC=1 ANDFLAG_CHECKED_OUT=0 {maxrows 5}The above would return 101, 104, 105, 110, 111I tried using an (N.ID_ITEM+1)-M.ID_ITEM=0 to try stepping and geterrors, probably incorrect syntax. Can I do this in an SQL statement?

I'm trying to create a column of numbers that increment by one.
I'm not able to use a #temptable in the application I'm using so I cannot use IDENTITY(int,1,1).
I want to add an Id column to this query:
Select distinct sd.name,ic.TABLE_SCHEMA,ic.TABLE_NAME from sys.databases sd
cross join INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS ic
where sd.name = 'ODS1stage'
order by TABLE_SCHEMA,TABLE_NAME
How can I accomplish this without creating a temp table? I would just alter the table and insert the numbers but there are 2000 rows.

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?

Hi all,I might be getting this all wrong but bear with me.
I need to create some kind of Unique field in my DB that is
nonsequential. This is because I need it to be difficult to guess
ids if you have an example in front of you.I have looked at
8digit EAN codes which include a check digit system.( I use a base digit of the row_id for these) Can anyone tell me
how many uniques I can get out of this system?For my ID: I have looked at something along the lines of:
Hex(row_id) + "T" + Hex( Trimmed(EAN)
)
The "T" serves to split the numbers for when I am converting back.
So for example:row_id EAN_code Hex(row_id) + "T" + Hex( Trimmed(EAN) )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3166 00031663 C5ET7BAF
3167 00031673 C5FT7BB9
3168 00031686 C60T7BC6
Is this too easy to guess (once you can tell there are two hex numbers there?)
What do people think?
Thanks,Pete

Hi
I'm trying to find a decent way of multiplying a set of numbers in a column without using a cursor in T-SQL.
There is no 'Product' aggregate function that I'm aware of in SQL 7 or 2000. The workaround I'm currently using is this :
SELECT EXP(SUM(LOG(ColumnName))) FROM tblName
This works fine, except when negative numbers are introduced. The LOG function does not allow negative numbers and therefore returns a domain error and the negative number is eliminated from the aggregate.
I could use a cursor to do the multiplication, however, this is proving too slow for the bulk calculations involved.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, then that would be much appreciated.
thanks....Tom

HI all;
I have a simple question to ask; I need to create a column with the data from my DOB column (which has the smalldatetime type attached to it). I know how to do that but I am not too sure how to convert the data from that column int normal character for example when I copy it into my newly created column and change the type to varchar I get this jan 16 1979 from this date 1979/01/16. But I actually want the data to look like this 19790116, so in effect I just want to take out the slashes.
Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks all.

Hello,
I have an ID column which is an Identity column, and it counts from 1 upwards.
If I have 10 records, I have ID's number 1 to 10.
If I then add another record, it will give the ID number 11.
Imagine I then delete ID number 9
Is it possible to get the next record I create to take number 9 instead of 12 ?

After moving our database between servers, one table had a hiccup in it's
identity column. The number jumped from 761 to 1886863475 on the next
insert. This is a production server and I didn't catch it until yesterday.
So I have several days worth of numbers in a central table. I can't clean
them out, but I wondered if I could do the following:
DBCC CHECKIDENT ('table_name', RESEED, 800)
I tested it on our development server and it doesn't seem to cause any
problems. I know that when we get to 1.8 billion on the identity column
again we'll get an error, but I'm willing to risk it.
A few questions. 1) Am I insane for trying this? 2) Has anyone else ran into
a similar problem and what did you do to fix it? 3) If I do this, is there
anything in particular to watch out for? 4) What caused the jump in the
first place?
My other option is to change the datatype from int to decimal(19) or
something along those lines. This will upset our programmers and I'll have
to change all my foreign keys (not a big deal, just a pain).
Any input at all here would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Grant

Hello,
One more question about this Custom Calendar table I'm creating. I have a column called "IsWorkdays" which indicates if the day represented by a row is a workday or not. For our purposes, I also need to create a row that accumulates those numbers by month. So, if it is the 3rd workday of the month, this column would have a 3. This is beyond my current T-SQL ability. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks a lot,
Andy
