Ok I am new to Sql and am wonder How I can (when createing a table ) have a field that is auto incremented.
Here is what I have so far
Code:
CREATE TABLE test (`id` INTEGER NOT NULL, `test` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
I want the primary key id to be an incremented number.
I am used to mysql and I would just have the field created as an AUTO_INCREMENT.
Do I use the INCREMENT function within the first query or do I have to have another query that will alter the table and make the field an auto incremented number.
I need to pass some SQL to someone else who will run it on their database. I have got the SQL for SQL Server 2000 but they are running SQL Server 7. Apparently the below MSSQL 2000 script doesn't work;
SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tableName]( [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [ArticleID] [int] NULL, [Heading] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [BodyContent] [text] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [WrittenDate] [datetime] NULL, CONSTRAINT [tableName] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [id] ASC ) )
What is the equivalent of the above in for SQL Server 7? I don't have access to it via SQL Server Manager so have to run the script.
CREATE TABLE Agents(ID COUNTER NOT NULL CONSTRAINT constraintName_pk PRIMARY KEY,Name VARCHAR(255),Supervisor INTEGER,MasterCalendarVisible BOOLEAN default false)I'm using this against an Access DB using JET driver... I keep gettinga syntax error which goes away when I remove the last line... Anyideas whats wrong with it?Thanks!
I am having 100 of flat files need to load in respective staging table.I want to create table on run time as per filename input.suppose if input filename is ABC then table name should be Staging_ABC if file name is XYZ then it should be Staging_XYZ.Table structure is below need to create at run time
CREATE TABLE Staging_'Filename'( [COL001] [varchar](4000) NULL, [Id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [LoadDate] [datetime] NOT NULL default getdate() )
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[Trigger1] ON [dbo].[Table1] with execute as SELF AFTER INSERT
[code]....
I am trying to create a trigger so every time a entry is made on a table, and the Colum1 is 'entry', it starts a job. But the users running the inserts do not have permission to Start jobs so I need to make it run as a super user. Where do i put the syntax in here? I Have tried Execute as login 'superuser' before the exec statement but it errors on the principal not being valid
I am trying to create a database and I manage to get the code right for dropping the database if it already exists and then createing the data file and log file. After this I try to set some options for the database with the following code
ALTER DATABASE MyDataWarehouse SET RECOVERY SIMPLE, ANSI_NULLS ON, ANSI_PADDING ON, ANSI_WARNINGS ON, ARITHABORT ON, CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ON, QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON, NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFF, PAGE_VERIFY CHECKSUM, ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON; GO
But I get an error saying Incorrect syntax near 'CHECKSUM'.
What is the equivalent for INCLUDE clause (in Create index syntax) in SQL Server 2000. SQL Server 2005 will support Include clause in Create index syntax . How to attain it in SQL Server 2000
Example : I have below query executable in SQL Server 2005
CREATE INDEX Index_Name ON mytable(col1 ASC) INCLUDE (name,id);
What is the equivalent for the above query in SQL server 2000
I have a text file which needs to be created into a table (let's call it DataFile table). For now I'm just doing the manual DTS to import the txt into SQL server to create the table, which works. But here's my problem....
I need to extract data from DataFile table, here's my query:
select * from dbo.DataFile where DF_SC_Case_Nbr not like '0000%';
Then I need to create a new table for the extracted data, let's call it ExtractedDataFile. But I don't know how to create a new table and insert the data I selected above into the new one.
Also, can the extraction and the creation of new table be done in just one stored procedure? or is there any other way of doing all this (including the importation of the text file)?
I'm trying to create a proc for granting permission for developer, but I tried many times, still couldn't get successful, someone can help me? The original statement is:
Can I dynamically (from a stored procedure) generatea create table script of all tables in a given database (with defaults etc)a create view script of all viewsa create function script of all functionsa create index script of all indexes.(The result will be 4 scripts)Arno de Jong,The Netherlands.
I have some code that dynamically creates a database (name is @FullName) andthen creates a table within that database. Is it possible to wrap thesethings into a transaction such that if any one of the following fails, thedatabase "creation" is rolledback. Otherwise, I would try deleting on errordetection, but it could get messy.IF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'CREATE DATABASE ' + @FullNameEXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorENDIF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @FullName + '.[dbo].[Image] ( [ID][int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL, [Blob] [image] NULL , [DateAdded] [datetime]NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]'EXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorENDIF @Error = 0BEGINSET @ExecString = 'ALTER TABLE ' + @FullName + '.[dbo].[Image] WITHNOCHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Image] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ) ON[PRIMARY]'EXEC sp_executesql @ExecStringSET @Error = @@ErrorEND
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.
Hi Minor and inconsequential but sometimes you just gotta know: Is it possible to define a non-primary key index within a Create Table statement? I can create a constraint and a PK. I can create the table and then add the index. I just wondered if you can do it in one statement. e.g. I have: CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT])which creates a table with a PK and unique constraint. I would like (pseudo SQL):CREATE TABLE MyT (MyT_ID INT Identity(1, 1) CONSTRAINT MyT_PK PRIMARY KEY Clustered, MyT_Desc Char(40) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT MyT_idx1 UNIQUE INDEX NONCLUSTERED ON [DEFAULT]) No big deal - just curious :D Once I know I can stop scouring BOL for clues. Tks in advance
Is there a way to join 2 tables from different databases on the same instance? If so, what is the syntax? For example I have an instance called TEST with 2 databases (DB1 and DB2). Each database have a table (DB1.TABLE & DB2.TABLE). Both tables have a common column called ID. Can both tables be joined in a query?
hi.. i want to know how to create table while specifying the database name.. the syntax given in the help is this
CREATE TABLE [ database_name.[ owner ] . | owner. ] table_name but i cant seem to do it.. it always generates an error whenever i give my database name..
I have a flatfile contain several SQL syntax calling a stored procedure (execute usp_table 'param1', 'param2' out) and have been imported into a temporer table. Inside this table I have a few column (identity column, syntax column and status column). Status column used for identify whether the execution succes. My plan is to read this table and execute the syntax row by row, the stored procedure will return a success or failure status from param2. And I have to read this return to update the Status column inside the table. I tried Execute SQL Task and throw the return value of stored procedure to a result set. But I didn't know how to treat the result set to update the table. So what task should I use ? Thanks in advance.
Im trying to write a generic data access layer that supports SQL CE and Im wondering if any type of schema qualifier can be placed in front of a table name when executing a sql statement.
I've tried soemthing like this
select * from dbo.Account
I get this error,
The table name is not valid. [ Token line number (if known) = 1,Token line offset (if known) = 19,Table name = account ]
It doesnt make really make sense to include a qualifier for sql ce but I just wanted to make sure that there wasnt some other syntax that I wasnt aware of.
Hello I am trying to join 2 tables listing product names but I can’t get the syntax quite right.
I have managed to get the 2 tables to display separately.
Table #1: Select ProductName as [Product Name] From Product_CatA Where Auto = 'yes' Order By ProductName ASC
Table #2
SELECT ProductName, Price, '<a href="' + url + '">' + Title + '</a>' as Link FROM ProductNames WHERE Extn = '0151' And url like 'http:%' ORDER BY ProductName ASC
I want to display all the data values taken from Table #1 as above.
Hi, I wish to export a MS SQL table into a text file. I know that I can do this under the DTS wizard but I need the syntax so as to run in on my script. Can anyone help? Thanks!
I finally found a way to "deploy" my local SqlServerExpress (SSE) database to the remote Sql2K server... In VisualWebDeveloper (VWD) I can create the table definition and then save the creation sql script and use that in SSE Express Manager while connected to my remote DB. I am describing this because I'm so surprised no one has had problems with this as thousands of developers, some very unexperienced (as me maybe!), are trying the same situation now that some are offering 2.0 hosting... Well I thought this was a great idea until the Sql2K server is returning error messages on the script VWD created. So please could you help since I'm not that good at complex sql scripting. It seems the error comes from the ALTER TABLE syntax:BEGIN TRANSACTIONSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONSET ARITHABORT ONSET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFFSET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ONSET ANSI_NULLS ONSET ANSI_PADDING ONSET ANSI_WARNINGS ONCOMMITBEGIN TRANSACTIONCREATE TABLE dbo.Table2 ( prID int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1), DateInserted datetime NOT NULL, Title nvarchar(100) NOT NULL, Description nvarchar(MAX) NULL, CategoryID smallint NOT NULL, DateLastUpdated datetime NULL, Price int NOT NULL, SpecialPrice int NULL, ImgSuffix nvarchar(5) NULL, ImgCustomWidth smallint NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]GOALTER TABLE dbo.Table2 ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Table2 PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( prID ) WITH( STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY] GOCOMMIT
I want to script the whole database - is this possible? I'd like to see the same scripts that I get when in management studio I right click on a table and do script table as - create to
is there anyway to get in one click all the tables or do I need to do one by one?
What would be the correct syntax, if any, that allows updating a tablevariable in a statement that uses the same table variable in a correlatedsubquery? Here's an example:DECLARE @t table (N1 int NOT NULL, N2 int NOT NULL)UPDATE @t SETN1 = (SELECT COUNT(1)FROM @t AS tWHERE t.N2 < @t.N2)This doesn't compile, complaining about "variable @t" in the WHERE clause.I'm not so interested in a way to rewrite this particular statement to makeit work, but rather in a general way to refer to table variables in thecontexts where correlation names cannot be used.Thank you.--remove a 9 to reply by email
Hi,I have a user-defined function which returns a table (call it '@a'),and has another table defined as a variable (call it '@b'). When I tryto do the following query, I get "Must declare the variable '@b'" and"Must declare the variable '@a'." How do I remedy this?The query:UPDATE @aSETstuff =(SELECT otherStuff From @bWHERE @b.someID = @a.someID)
HiHaving a problem with a ms sql 2000 server.

Just started learning SQL recently.But one thing i'm still not clear on is about altering relationships betweentables after they've been created.Instead of creating a foreign key when the table is first created - i createthe table and then run a query to set the foreign key and relationship(one-to-one, one-to-many etc)Anyways, long story short is i want to create a one-to-one relationship witha table but am having problems with adding more than one constraint at atime when altering a table.Understand yet? Easiest thing to do is show you:I have 2 tables: Branch_Table and Employee_TableI want to create a one-to-one relationship between emp_id on theBranch_Table and manager_id on the Employee_Table.The SQL i've written which doesn't seem to work is:ALTER TABLE Branch_TableAdd Constraint Branch_Table_FK1 FOREIGN KEY (manager_id)Add Constraint Branch_Table_UQ1 Unique (manager_id)References Employee_Table (emp_id));Am having trouble with that second Add constraint (UQ1 unique). I know it'ssomething to do with the Add syntax above.So basically, my question is can i create a one-to-one relationship withjust the one SQL Query? And how would i do it?Many thanks in advance.
