I was thinking of creating a custom generated IDs for my table. I would like the ID to be something like "HR001" or "IT001", the two letter prefix would indicate the dept it belongs to. Initially I thought of having a table that will hold all the seed values for the IDs but I realize that this could have some concurrency problems if there will be a multiple number of users are creating a record at the same time. So now I have totally no idea on how to deal with the concurrency problem.
I will not be using this as a primary key because I already have the Identity field to be my primary key, though of course this field would definitely be unique. I will just be using this to display in the UI.
I need creating a store procedure which generates custom IDs for each asset. I am programming for Fixed Assets in VB6 with SQL Server 2005. For example, when a new Asset is added ,I need to auto generate the ID based on existing IDs. New ID should not exist in tblAssets table.
Table Name : tblAssets Fields : AssetID > Int,Primary Key,this is internal ID (identity seed) AssetExtID >nvarchar(50),this is external ID, need to generate/user entered.
Below is the example of data in tblAssets :
AssetID AssetExtID ProjectID ItemName Qty UOM UnitCost ..... 1 PROSP-00001 PROSPERITY SPLIT-AC 2 NOS $200 2 PROSP-00002 PROSPERITY LAPTOP 1 NOS $500 3 UNIII-00001 UNION III LAPTOP 5 NOS $400 4 UNIII-00002 UNION III RECEIVER 2 NOS $312
The AssetExtID depends on the ProjectID which is in tblProjects.
I will take care of the first 5 characters to generate. But the number part I need to generate by checking existing data. The AssetExtID should not be duplicate. Its unique for each asset.
It might be an old question but wanted to see, if we have any latest techniques (other than bcp).
SELECT Field1, Field2 FROM MyTable
If I want to export the output of the above query to a csv on a network folder? I would like to avoid usage of SSIS package or BCP (as user needs to get additional rights to execute bcp).
I am looking for some examples of code for an appliction which will let run RS reports from a custom application. The user will choose the reports from a menu structure
We have an exiting application which we use to run crystal reports which we are going to be migrating to RS. We use custom web controls to capture the required parameter values for the reports, and hope to reuse the same controls (with minimal rework) to capture the parameters values for the RS reports.
What I am after is some code which will
a) let me run the report and display it. I don't want to display the report parameters in the URL etc as we generate some report parameter values based upon the user's ID and do NOT want them displayed back to the users
b) export the report to PDF, CSV etc depending upon the option chosen by the user.
The application will be developed in VS 2005 - VB. Does any one know of some links to some sample code
I am using a Data Flow task which copies data from an Excel Source to a SQL Database Table Destination. From 15 columns I require only 10 columns to be imported to the DB Table. So I have mapped those colums. In SQL DB there is a colum called say X, whose value should be the "Remedy" for all the columns which are imported. Is there any task that can achieve it.
I am creating a custom transformation component, and a custom user interface for that component.
In my custom UI, I want to show the custom properties, and allow users to edit these properties similar to how the advanced editor shows the properties.
I know in my UI I need to create a "Property Grid". In the properties of this grid, I can select the object I want to display data for, however, the only objects that appear are the objects that I have already created within this UI, and not the actual component object with the custom properties.
How do I go about getting the properties for my transformation component listed in this property grid?
What I want to accomplish is that at design time the designer can enter a value for some custom property on my custom task and that this value is accessed at executing time.
I am writing a custom task that has some custom properties. I would like to parameterize these properties i.e. read from a varaible, so I can change these variables from a config file during runtime.
I read the documentation and it says if we set the ExpressionType to CPET_NOTIFY, it should work, but it does not seem to work. Not sure if I am missing anything. Can someone please help me?
In the Editor of my custom task, under custom properties section, I expected a button with 3 dots, to click & pop-up so we can specify the expression or at least so it evaluates the variables if we give @[User::VaraibleName]
Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.
Hi! When MS published starter kits there were files .sql in App_Data. This files contained some sample data for a DB. How to create such files when I have database with data ? Jarod
One of my first tasks on my current project was to generate all of the SQL scripts needed to rebuild the database. Of course, one of the catches was that everything needed to be separated out (table columns in different script from PKs different from FKs different from DEFAULTs, etc., etc.). And we wanted our own comment block inserted. So, I couldn't just use the Generate SQL Script from Enterprise Manager and be done with it. I was going to need to do some more work. Well, here's one of the scripts I wrote to build the FK scripts. Execute this script, then copy & paste the results into a new window. Break apart into separate .sql files as desired.
NOTE: Be sure to show results in Text (not grid) and change the display options in QA to return more than just 256 characters.

I want to transfer some procedures using a generated script. However, the procedures that create pre-existing tables will not be created. Is there a way to shut off the validation so that I can create these procedures without getting errors?

i recently moved from sql server 7 to sql 2005 -- in sql 7 if i wanted to generate an sql script then It would generate a whole script --- in sql 2005 - when i do generate it seems to attach a file -- I want to generate a script that I can then modify and use to create a new db -- is this possible?
Hi, Do someone know if there is a SP_ or XP_ function for help me create a script of create table? I can do it "on-line" by right click a table in Enterprise-Manager (all properties;generate sql-script), but I want to "call a command" to do this. Very glad if someone know! //Lotta
is there any easy way I can take a select statment (such as select from payments where datetime>'20071122' and output a sql insert statment for these records?
I basically need to move a specific set of records from one sql server to another (both sql server 2005) any suggestions for the best way to do this?
The table in the database has a field called LabID. That field is aninteger and consists of the year plus a counter. For example, thefirst record of 2006 would be "20060001," the second record of 2006would be "20060002" and so on. I'm trying to create an Insert triggerthat can generate the ID value when a new record is inserted, but I'mnot quite sure how to implement that trigger. Can anyone help?
Hello,I want to generate a SQL Script of a SQL Server database. To do this, Iright-click the database name and choose the option All Tasks/GenerateSQL Script.Than I get a text file with a script that generates all objects, but theorder in which the objects are generated is wrong. There are a lot ofviews in the database and many views are based on other views. When Itry to execute the script on a different computer, I get a lot of errormessages, because the script tries to create views that are based onother views that are not created yet.Is there a way to generate a script that automatically 'knows' whichviews to create first or do I have to manually look through all viewsand find out myself the execute order? (I hope not, because it arereally a lot of views).Greetings,Chris*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
