Hi,
I have written the following StoredProcedure
Code:
create Procedure spCreateQuestion(
@QuestionName varchar(30)
)
as
declare @newAnswerId int
declare @newQuestionId int
set @QuestionName='New Question'
BEGIN TRANSACTION Q1
--Creates New QuestionId with AnswerId 0
INSERT INTO Questions(QuestionId,Name,AnswerId)
SELECT 1 + COALESCE(MAX(QuestionId), 0),RTRIM(@QuestionName),0
FROM Questions
--QuestionId just now created
SELECT @newQuestionId=QuestionId FROM Questions WHERE Name=@QuestionName
BEGIN TRANSACTION QA1
--Create an AnswerId
INSERT INTO Answers(AnswerId)
SELECT 1 + COALESCE(MAX(AnswerId), 0)
FROM Answers
--AnswerId just now created(I hope not the best way to do like this)
SELECT @newAnswerId=MAX(AnswerId) from Answers --is it the best way to call statement like this or any other way better than this
--update Questions Table with this new Answerid
UPDATE Questions
set
AnswerId=@newAnswerId
where QuestionId=@newQuestionId
COMMIT TRANSACTION QA1
COMMIT TRANSACTION Q1
I think the second Transaction is not locking the table.so some how i should be
able to get the newly create AnswerId
i can't use the identity column in my tables
Can some one please have a look at it and suggest me how do we go about it..

I'm trying to do a simple insert into a table, something like this:
insert into sometable (ID, somecolumn)
select 'Task-ID', somevalue from SomeOtherTable
where something = 'someothervalue'
(or something to that effect)
So, the SELECT would generate something that looks like this:
ID somecolumn
-- ----------
Task-ID somevalue1
Task-ID somevalue2
Task-ID somevalue3
(etc.)
Here's where my problem comes in: ID is a PK, and needs to be unique. What I need it to do is this:
ID somecolumn
-- ----------
Task-ID.1 somevalue1
Task-ID.2 somevalue2
Task-ID.3 somevalue3
(etc.)
What I don't know is, how do I programatically generate the number sequence? Note: I do not have admin rights to the table, i.e. I cannot just change a column to IDENTITY.
Also the 'Task-ID' must remain part of the ID; in other words, I can't just generate a GUID, and it needs to be easily identifiable.
What I'm hoping to do is rewrite my SQL like this:
insert into sometable (ID, somecolumn)
select 'Task-ID.' + (generated seq #), somevalue from SomeOtherTable
where something = 'someothervalue'
Is there an easy way to do this?

I have a web page where the user can select the language (FR, EN, BG, ...) in a drop down list.
Next to the drop down list there is a text box where user can type the some text (translation).
User can add several description
On my web page, i have a button this button collect all information create an xml file and save all in database (sql server 2008)
that's work fine for some language => FR, EN and so on
But for bulgarian (bulgare) and greece there are some problem...
Some characters when i display it in sql look like => ???s??. ? d??ta?? a?t?
The value encoded by the user is => Ένωσης. Η διάταξη αυτή
but the result after t sql xpath is => ???s??. ? d??ta?? a?t?
Here is it my sql code where you can find my temporary table and my xml file and my xpath query
declare @tblTranslation table (idDocID int, languageID varchar(10), value varchar(500))
declare @Translations XML
set @Translations = '<?xml version="1.0" ?><Items><Item><eleKey>EN</eleKey><eleValue>This is a test</eleValue></Item><Item><eleKey>FR</eleKey><eleValue>test</eleValue></Item><Item><eleKey>BG</eleKey><eleValue>Ένωσης. Η διάταξη αυτή</eleValue></Item><Item><eleKey>HR</eleKey><eleValue></eleValue></Item><Item><eleKey>RO</eleKey><eleValue></eleValue></Item></Items>'
-- 2) fill the temporary table with information from the xml file
INSERT INTO @tblTranslation(idDocID, languageID, value)
SELECT
1
, Convert(nvarchar(max), i.query('eleKey/text()')) as colKey
, Convert(nvarchar(max), i.query('eleValue/text()')) as colValue

I have a table that contains file paths as
ServernamefolderAfilenameA
ServernameFolderBFilenameB
and I need a query to return
ServernamefolderA
ServernameFolderB
I tried
SELECT DISTINCT left(Source, charindex('', Source)- 0) AS String
FROM Table
But that removes everything after the first and I need it to return all data before the last

I have the following scenario, The contents of main file are like :
ServerCentral|||||forum|||||||||||||||is||||||the||best
so||||||be|||||on||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||it
And I need the output in the following form:
ServerCentral=forum=is=the=best
so=be=on=it
The logic being that multiple and consecutive occurrences of the special character, here - pipe , should be replaced by a single special character.

I have set a column called "Anumber", I am
using a computed value to get the PK ID # and
a the letter "A" to it.
('A'+CONVERT([varchar](10),[requestid],(0)))
The above works fine unless I copy a record,
The copied record never displays the correct
value like "A55" it keeps "NULL" as it value.
Is their a better way to achieve a result as
described above ?
I am coming from Foxpro to SQL, Any advice would
be great.

Hi experts,
I am executing a script to add a column to few tables and drop existing constraints, create new foreign key constraints, indexes etc. After we test this on our development database we have to deliver the script to the customer.
My concern here is, when I have to drop the constraint with the name, I am not able to do it because its been created with alphanumeric char in the constraint name. So I end up getting the constraint name for each table. And moreover,
I wont be able to deliver the same script to the customer as the alphanumeric in the constraint names on the customer's database will be different.
Any suggestions to overcome these alphanumeric in the constraint names?
Thanks much

Greetings all,
I have upsized 2 foxpro table to SQL Express.
In table 2 called Orphan I have/had a field that
would autonumber with the letter "U" first.
Example would create a AlphaNumber Like "U00001223"
In Foxpro this is a easy function, But I have been
unable to find a similiar way to do this in SQLEXPRESS.
Foxpro would have you define the field as Unique Number with
template defintion of "U"N8
In SQL I know you can use Numeric on a field for a unique number
but cant find setting to proced number with a "U"
Is this doable is in SQL and does anybody have a
reference point or example they could share ?
Any help would be great and hope my question made sense..

All,
I'm having trouble with a query where I need to limit a resultset by comparing (using a WHERE clause) a field that is alphanumeric with one that is numeric. I've tried converting, casting, and case statements, but I either get an overflow error or a big slap on the wrist by SQL Server 2005. Does anyone have any good solutions to this? I've been racking my brain for a while now.
Thanks for the help!

Hello,
I have a SQL database with about 300 company names and corresponding phone numbers. I would like to show a list of linkbuttons titled A-Z and when pressed, rebind the sqldatasource so that my GridView will only show company names that start with that letter.
I know there are some examples on codeproject.com, but they are a bit over my head... besides, I don't mind writing a custom select statement for the OnClick of every linkbutton if that's what I have to do. Problem is I haven't a clue how to write a select statement that will return items who's first letter matches my desired letter?
Any idea?
Thanks,
-Derek

How to auto increment an alphanumeric Primary Key in SQL? :( Because I want to add something like this in the Primary Key, for example i'll add a new data with an alphanumeric value of ABC-0001, then I'll add another 1, and it auto increments to ABC-0002 and so on.. How can I do it? And if I'll add a new alpha character in the Primary Key field, for example DEF-0001, then I'll add another and it auto increments to 002, and so on, and it will go back to 0001 if i'll use another combination of alpha characters. for example, i'll add a new alpha character AAA, will it go back to 0001 or it will continue? T___T I hope u get my point.. I want my table to look like this if i have added the dataABC-0001ABC-0002DEF-0001DEF-0002AAA-0001then if il add a new 1, for example ABCit will auto increment to 0003 in the same field, it will look like this after addingABC-0001ABC-0002ABC-0003DEF-0001DEF-0002AAA-0001Will it be possible? :(

I have seen this problem posted several times and not seen an applicable solution yet. No offense, the suggestions may have been good for those scenarios, but not this one.
Several (at least 4) Excel Spreadsheets come from a vendor that I need to import to a table. They are uploaded via web to a directory so they can be imported by a scheduled DTS package.
Darren Green's site gave me some good info on how to get this far, btw.
But I cannot overcome the NULL-ifying of Column Headers for Numeric fields when the spreadsheet is imported.
I've tried:
DTSDestination("Yr1") = trim(DTSSource("F7"))
DTSDestination("Yr1") = CHR(34) & trim(DTSSource("F7")) & CHR(34)
DTSDestination("Yr1") = cstr("0" & trim(DTSSource("F7)))
DTSDestination("Yr1") = clng("0" & DTSSource("F7")))
Named ranges, along with any sort of spreadsheet editing is too time consuming.
And since they come from a vendor, having them come to us with the required items in place is not possible.
Even though it seems easy enough, it's a toughy.
Any help would be rewarded with respect and admiration.
Thanks, Mike

Hi all,
I have a problem with alphanumeric codes in SSIS.
I have a sql table with a varchar column which contains codes like '080101000', in my SSIS dataflow I have a lookup against this table and the column whith the code is used as output column for my lookup transformation.
In the advance editor the output column datatype is DT_WSTR, but when the code contains only numbers like the code '080101000' the first '0' is removed! It's like the code is at some point transformed to numeric and then inserted in the output column as a string. This in nonsense!!
Does anyone have an idea how to avoid this ?

Hi!
I have a table like this below and it doesn't only contain English Names but it also contain Chinese Name.
CREATE TABLE Names
(FirstName NVARCHAR (50),
LastName NVARCHAR (50));
I tried to view the column using SQL Query Analyzer, It didn't display Chinese Character.
I know that SQL Server 2005 is using UCS-2 Encoding and Chinese Character uses Double Byte Character Set (DBCS) Encoding.
I want to read the FirstName and LastName columns and display in Window Form Data Grid and ASP.NET Grid View.
I tried to use this code below and it didn't work. It convert some of the English Name to Chinese Character and it display the chinese character and some still in the original unreadable characters.
Does anybody know how to read those character from SQL Table and display the correct Chinese Character without converting the English Name into Chinese also?
Thanks
int codePage = 950;
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
Encoding targetEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage);
byte[] encodedChars= targetEncoding.GetBytes(str);
.
message.AppendLine("Byte representation of '" + str + "' in Code Page '" + codePage + "':");
for (int i = 0; i < encodedChars.Length; i++)
{
message.Append("Byte " + i + ": " + encodedChars);
}
message.AppendLine(" RESULT : " + System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(encodedChars));
Console.Writeline(message.ToString());
