I am trying to update a new column called "sorting", with incremented values
strating at 1 for the first row and 2 for the second and 3 for the thirsd etc......., before doing that I need the table to be sorted using three
columns. I am using a cursor but it is not working I need your help.
Thanks in advance:
CODE:
set @ordering_count=0
declare review_test_cursor cursor scroll keyset for
select oid,decision_date,ranking,sorting,decision_id
from DECISION_FLAGS
order by oid,decision_date,ranking asc
open review_test_cursor
fetch next from review_test_cursor
while (@@fetch_status = 0 )
Begin
update DECISION_FLAGS
set sorting = CAST ((@ordering_count + 1) as VARCHAR)
set @ordering_count = @ordering_count + 1
fetch next from review_test_cursor
end
close review_test_cursor
deallocate review_test_cursor
I have a column that is not set to auto increment "IDX and Im inserting 800 part numbers but i want the IDX column to start at IDX 400 and increment 1 time per part number that is inserted. how can i accomplished that task.
EXAMPLE:
IDX PART#
400 abcde 401 fghi 402 jklm
etc. and so forth until the last part# will have IDX 1200...
I have created a table that generates a sequential id and a stored procedure that will return that id. The trouble is no matter what I set the Seed or Increment values to, the id will always start with #1 and increment by 1.
My table is BILLING_TIME_ID Identity field BT_GEN_ID (SEED 200, INCREMENT 1)
The sp is as follows: CREATE PROCEDURE BT_NEXT_ID AS INSERT dbo.BILLING_TIME_ID DEFAULT VALUES select count (*) from dbo.BILLING_TIME_ID GO I have double checked that Identity_Insert is set to off for this table. (does this default to off unless it is set to on?) Since there is only 1 field in the table, I don`t have any indexes set.
i've posted in the wrong forum, so im posting here
hi, im having problems to import data from my excel to a sql table.
in the excel file i have exact the same fields that i have in the table excepts the primary key which is an auto increment. When i try to import data, an error that i can't insert nulls into my auto increment column.
I put enable identity insert in the edit options, but still doesnt work.

Hi, How to Change Increment Value for existing Identity Column (MS SQL2000) ?
I know how to change the seed : DBCC CHECKIDENT (activity, RESEED,4233596)
but I need the future id generated with step 2 4233596 4233598 4233600 I would like to do it using T-sql because I will need to do it every day after syncronising with another SQL server .
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.
The reason why cust_id started at #4 and not #1 is because I failed to insert property three times in a row for having "Tatoine" instead of "WI" or a state less than 5chars nchar(5) correct? Then when I did a valid statement, the row was created at the starting number of four. I imagine this prevents users from having duplicate cust_ids. This however is also where rollback and similar commands could be handy correct or is there something more obvious I'm missing on a failed "insert into" to not increment the cust_id. The three rows 1,2 and 3 do not exist I believe and are not null. Having null values would of contradicted the table where two columns "not null" are a requirement.
Hi I am trying to use the identity data type ( column) I am using examples from the book and management studio in sql server 2005. I am using the identity property for the customer Id in customers table.I accidentatly executed the querry twice and I had two same record with different customer id numbers of 1 and 2 . I realised the problem and I had to delete the second record. The problem is now even if I have deteted the 2nd record with customer id 2 , when I insert a new record the identity value ( customer Id) increments with a number after the value I deleted. i.e if I deleted a second row with customer id 2 ( identity 2) when I enter a new record it enters with a customer id of 3 and whenever i add a new record it increments from there. So instead of first record have cust id 1 and second record customer id 2 etc , I get first record with cust id 1 , second record with cust id 3 , third record cust id 4 etc. How can I get rid of this wrong values of identity values whenever I delete a record and try to add a new record?
Hello all,I'm using SS2K on W2k.I'v got a table say, humm, "Orders" with two fields in the PK:OrderDate and CustomerID. I would like to add an "ID" column whichwould be auto-increment (and would be the new PK). But, I would reallylike to have orders with the oldest OrderDate having the smallest IDnumber and, for a same OrderDate, I'd to have the smallest CustomerIDfirst. So my question is:How could I add an auto-increment column to a table and make it createits values in a particular order (sort by OrderDate then CustomerIDhere)?In the real situation, the table I want to modify has around 500krecords and the PK has 5 fields and I want to sort on three of them.Thanks for you helpYannick
Due to localization I have the need to make child tables, where there is a composite Primary Key, between the Id column and the LanguageSign column. On the parent table the Id column is Identity column with auto increment.
The problem is that during the select into query to copy columns from parent to child, this auto increment behaviour of the parent-Id is copied to the child-Id. However I do not want that, because the same Id will be used by different LanguageSign entries
Is there a way to use 'select into' without copying the auto increment, or is my only option to make a whole new column without auto increment on the child and copy the records?
btw I have used this statement
SET IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable
ON , so that inserting into the Id column is possible. I can see however that this does not take away the auto increment...
i would to make a column contains of 3 characters and 6 auto increment numbers (example: "DLL - 123456")
and made it primary key and which data type i should use. i do not know whether i use after insert trigger in two columns one for three characters and another for code which has identity property >>>so please help me
I Have a table that needs to have 2 unique number.
detail_id and detail_print_id.
detail_id is already an IDENTITY.
both fields need to be different, because when importing, it imports the same data into a table twice, with only a slight data change (and id is not one of the changes).
So I thought i could do the following:
detail_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,2), detail_print_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(2,2), --blah blah
that way, the detail_id will always be odd, and the detail_print_id will always be even. however SQL Server 2005 only allows 1 identity per table, and both these fields need to be auto generated when the field is inserted, so as to prevent double data.
is there anyway I can create a int column to auto increment, without the column being an IDENTITY??
also, I would prefer to not have to create a second table with a single column just for this work.
I have set up a query where I am using a cursor to pass result from onequery to use as select parameters in another query. The problem I amhaving is that when I pass the results into the second query I get thecolumn headers?How do you suppress the column headers from showing in the query? Isee how you select options - print headers.ThanksJason
I can't seem to get a cursor to work when I'm passing in a variable for a column name of the select statement. For example:
declare @col varchar(50)
set @col = 'Temperature'
declare notifycurs cursor scroll for select @col from Table
Obviously this won't work correctly (since the result will simply be 'Temperature' instead of the actual float value for temperature). I tried to use quotes for the entire statement with an EXEC (ie. exec('select '+@col+' from Table' ) but that gave me an error.
Is there a way to pass in a variable for a column name for a curor select statement????
I think it was Pat Phelan who posted a little trick here where he used the STUFF function to create a string fo values from a column without using a cursor.
I am starting a brand new project and I did my table design and I am awaiting a finalized requirements document to start coding and I thought I would spend a little time writing some code to autogenerate some generic one record at a time SELECT, INSERT,UPDATE and DELETE stored procedures. With the coming holiday things are getting quiet around here.
The code that is not working is listed below. It does not work. It returns Null. I suck.
DECLARE @column_names varchar(8000)
SET @column_names = ''
SELECT @column_names = STUFF(@column_names,LEN(@column_names),0,C.COLUMN_ NAME + ', ') FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS C WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'MyTable'
Hi , I have two tables within a SQL database. The 1st table has an identified column and column which lists one of more email identifers for a second table, e.g. ID Email -- ---------- 1 AS1 AS11 2 AS2 AS3 AS4 AS5 3 AS6 AS7
The second table has a column which has an email identifier and another column which lists one email address for that particular identifier, e.g. ID EmailAddress --- ------------------ AS1 abcstu@emc.com AS2 abcstu2@emc.com AS3 abcstu3@emc.com AS4 abcstu4@em.com AS5 abcstu5@emc.com AS6 abcstu6@emc.com AS7 abcstu7@emc.com AS11 abcstu8@emc.com I need to create a stored procedure or function that: 1. Selects an Email from the first table, based on a valid ID, 2. Splits the Email field of the first table (using the space separator) so that there is an array of Emails and then, 3. Selects the relevant EmailAddress value from the second table, based on a valid Email stored in the array Is there any way that this can be done directly within SQL Server using a stored procedure/function without having to use cursors?
STATIC Defines a cursor that makes a temporary copy of the data to be used by the cursor. All requests to the cursor are answered from this temporary table in tempdb; therefore, modifications made to base tables are not reflected in the data returned by fetches made to this cursor, and this cursor does not allow modifications
It say's that modifications is not allowed in the static cursor. I have a questions regarding that
Static Cursor declare ll cursor global static for select name, salary from ag open ll fetch from ll
while @@FETCH_STATUS=0 fetch from ll update ag set salary=200 where 1=1
close ll deallocate ll
In "AG" table, "SALARY" was 100 for all the entries. When I run the Cursor, it showed the salary value as "100" correctly.After the cursor was closed, I run the query select * from AG.But the result had updated to salary 200 as given in the cursor. file says modifications is not allowed in the static cursor.But I am able to update the data using static cursor.
Hello,I have a test database with table A containing 10,000 rows and a tableB containing 100,000 rows. Rows in B are "children" of rows in A -each row in A has 10 related rows in B (ie. B has a foreign key to A).Using ODBC I am executing the following loop 10,000 times, expressedbelow in pseudo-code:"select * from A order by a_pk option (fast 1)""fetch from A result set""select * from B where where fk_to_a = 'xxx' order by b_pk option(fast 1)""fetch from B result set" repeated 10 timesIn the above psueod-code 'xxx' is the primary key of the current Arow. NOTE: it is not a mistake that we are repeatedly doing the Aquery and retrieving only the first row.When the queries use fast-forward-only cursors this takes about 2.5minutes. When the queries use dynamic cursors this takes about 1 hour.Does anyone know why the dynamic cursor is killing performance?Because of the SQL Server ODBC driver it is not possible to havenested/multiple fast-forward-only cursors, hence I need to exploreother alternatives.I can only assume that a different query plan is getting constructedfor the dynamic cursor case versus the fast forward only cursor, but Ihave no way of finding out what that query plan is.All help appreciated.Kevin

I having a difficult time here trying to figure out what to do here.I need a way to scroll through a recordset and display the resultswith both forward and backward movement on a web page(PHP usingADO/COM)..I know that if I use a client side cursor all the records get shovedto the client everytime that stored procedure is executed..if thisdatabase grows big wont that be an issue?..I know that I can set up a server side cursor that will only send therecord I need to the front end but..Ive been reading around and a lot of people have been saying never touse a server side cursor because of peformance issues.So i guess im weighing network performance needs with the client sidecursor vs server performance with the server side cursor..I am reallyconfused..which one should I use?-Jim
