I am developing a ASP.NET application using SQL Server as my database. I want to create a number that is unique.
The number will have 8 digits.
first 2 digits correspond to year. ex:04 or 03
the next 6 digits start with 000001 and it should get added for each new entry of data.
i am not able to generate number in the way i said. I am relatively new to SQL. so any suggestions as how to go about solving the problem???. Are there any samples/codes available for this.
A simple question! I would like to create a database that creates say serial numbers and saves them to a table. If poss I would like to create them on demend and not duplicate.....
I am using sybase aSE12.5. I have a table with only one column withdatatype char(2). when i query this table to select all the records, ishould get these records in the ascending order and they should be numbered, i.e, the o/p should look something like thiscolumn_name------ --------1 AB2 AC3 ADand so on.I cannot add an extra column and i need this to be done in a single query.--Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.com
I want to generate a resultset that is just a series of numbers inascending order or perhaps a series of dates.. What I mean is, isthere a way to generate a temporary table of dates given an input of astart date and an end date.. This table would then contain an entryfor each date in ascending order from the start date to and includingthe end date..Or perhaps with numbers, given a start of 5 and and end of 7the resulting table would be567Would appreciate any help with this one.. ThanksChris
I am trying to split the annual cost into monthly numbers based on the contract Period.Since the contract period varies from company to company not sure how to implement the logic.
Can you help me with SQL issue I€™m stuck on? I wish to take source data that looks like this:
Invoic_num
Line_num
6658
0
6658
2
6658
8
7721
2
7721
3
And rebuild the line numbers like this:
Invoic_num
Line_num
6658
1
6658
2
6658
3
7721
1
7721
2
This seems completely impossible to me. So I was thinking that maybe a second procedure using update could be run against the table after the initial build.
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.
Why does M$ Query Analyzer display all numbers as positive, no matterwhether they are truly positive or negative ?I am having to cast each column to varchar to find out if there areany negative numbers being hidden from me :(I tried checking Tools/Options/Connections/Use Regional Settings bothon and off, stopping and restarting M$ Query Analyer in betwixt, butno improvement.Am I missing some other option somewhere ?
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.
I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)
Can anyone see where my logic may have gone a stray? A user would be attempting to update a gridview row, I'm storing the amount of an item and the qty they purchased. If the order was for $150 and the grid has two item 1 x $50 and 2 x $50 the order already totals $150, so if the user tries to change the first item to a qty of 2 x $50 the total would be $200 and this would be more than the total payment or $150. I want to then tell them they cannot do this. @AP_ID Int,@AI_ID int,@PurchaseAmount money,@PurchaseQTY int,@LastUpdate datetime,@LastUpdateBy nvarchar(50),@Receipt_ID intASdeclare @current_item_total decimal(18,2)declare @new_item_total decimal(18,2)declare @total_payments decimal(18,2)declare @current_purchase table(receipt_id int,purchase_amt money)INSERT INTO @current_purchase SELECT tblPurchase.Receipt_ID,(tblPurchase.PurchaseAmount * tblPurchase.PurchaseQty) as purchase_amtFROM tblPurchase INNER JOIN tblReceipts ON tblPurchase.Receipt_ID = tblReceipts.Receipt_IDWHERE tblReceipts.Receipt_ID=@receipt_id--Get total already saved to recordselect @current_item_total = sum(purchase_amt) from @current_purchase--Get total amount of payment saved to recordselect @total_payments = sum(tblReceipts.AmountPaid) from tblReceipts where tblReceipts.receipt_id=@receipt_id--Get total amount user is trying to save to recordset @new_item_total = (@PurchaseAmount * @PurchaseQTY)--If current total plus new total is greater than total payment, tell user they cannot do this.IF ((@current_item_total + @new_item_total) > @total_payments)BEGINSELECT 'You are attempting to add more than your total payment.' AS MESSAGEENDELSEBEGIN--UPDATE ROWUPDATE tblPurchase SET [AI_ID]=@AI_ID,[PurchaseAmount]=@PurchaseAmount,PurchaseQTY=@PurchaseQTY,LastUpdate=@LastUpdate,LastUpdateBy=@LastUpdateBy WHERE [AP_ID]=@AP_ID SELECT 'Item was updated.'

Trying to bind some data to a datalist for a report.
User selects an Industry from a dropdown list and then I dump all records for that industry. However in order to parse some of the record field values into names (I.E. from a 1 to the actual company name) for some records I have to read TABLE_ONE and for other records I might have to read TABLE_TWO depending on the value of FIELD_ONE.
If FIELD_ONE = "A" then I get the NAME from TABLE_ONE. If FIELD_ONE = "B" then I get the NAME from TABLE_TWO. If FIELD_ONE = "C" then I get the NAME from TABLE_THREE.
I'm lost at how to get started on this. I thought about adding IF statements to my query but these won't work because I'm not passing in the value of FIELD_ONE ahead of time - it's part of the query. So I thought maybe I could do a pre-read and store all FIELD_ONE values in an ArrayList and pass these in as parameters, but the stored proc is only being called once - so that won't work.
What i'm trying to do is if this column dt.IN_DIV_NO is populated take that value first if it's null than rr.AIQ_R_DIVISION_NO and if that column is null than rr.F_DIVISION_NO.
This is what i came up with, will it evaluate the way i need it to?
case When dt.IN_DIV_NO is not null then dt.IN_DIV_NO else case when rr.AIQ_R_DIVISION_NO is null then rr.F_DIVISION_NO end end as Current_DIV
Select * from TAB_A where state not in (1,4) and create_date < '2008-01-01' and ( (x != 2 and y != 1 and z != 4) or (x != 6 and y != 3 and z != 1) or (x != 8 and y != 0 and z != 9) )
then for example i am getting results where x,y and z is equal to one or more of above combinations ?
Now i vaguely remember that using or with a != messes up the logic ? if so can i use an NOR ? does it exist ?
I am looking for the best approach to update a table's column based on the results of two other different tables. My tables structure is as follows.
Table 1 has columns A and B (tblemployee has location and employeenumber ) Table 2 has columns C and A (tblocation has locationID (identity) and location) Table 3 has coumns C and B (tblcountry locationID (foreign key) and employeenumber.)
I want to update Table 3 (tblcountry) with the new locationID if and employee changes location or gets miscoded using an SSIS package.
I am having a little problem with my logic. i have a table simplehoursassignment that has a field named br. i need to get the value from simplehoursassigment & say if @mybit AND br > 0 set each day.
I have this query that is returning the same result twice and i cannot find why. I only have one record in Subquote. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Code Snippet SELECT s.* FROM Quote q INNER JOIN SubQuote s ON q.id = s.quoteID INNER JOIN TakeOffSheetItem t ON t.quoteID_takeoffitem = q.id AND t.subQuoteID_takeoffitem = s.subquoteid INNER JOIN PipeGroup p ON p.quoteID_PipeGroup = q.id AND p.subQuoteID_PipeGroup = s.subQuoteID WHERE (q.id = 1 AND q.deleted = 0 AND s.deleted = 0 AND t.deleted_takeoffitem = 0 AND p.deleted_PipeGroup = 0) ORDER BY s.subquoteid
I am trying to figure out how to set up this database. Basically, there are products with their associated fields. Each product can belong to multiple categories, and each category also has subcategories.So far I have the following, but not sure if this is the best way to set it up...TABLE Products:product_id (int) (1-many relationship to product_id in Table Product_Category)sku (int)descriptionpriceTABLE Categorycategory_id (int) (1-many relationship to category_id in Table Product_Category)nameTABLE SubCategorysubcategory_id (int) (1-many relationship to subcategory_id in Table Product_Category)category_id (int)nameTABLE Product_Categoryprodcat_id (int) product_id (int) (many-1 relationship to product_id in Table Products)category_id (int) (many-1 relationship to category_id in Table Category)subcategory_id (int) (many-1 relationship to subcategory_id in Table SubCategory) Thanks,Mick
Suppose in the table below the left column is called intNumber and right column is called strItem.I want to select the rows where the intNumber number appears for the first time(the ones marked with arrows), how do I do it?
I'm trying to figure out how to track what messages have been read by what users in a message board program we wrote. The users are identified by an ID number and each message has a unique number. Let's say there are 10000 users and 200,000 messages. What would be the database setup/logic to track every user as to what messages they had read or not read? Maybe I'm missing something but it does not seem to be a trivial task.
Hi there! Hope somebody got some better insight into this problem than i have. I'm struggling with some db logic. Overview: I have a client who is a publisher. They would like to post all their advert-size specs for each magazine to their web site. My first thought was that ill be able to build one table and populate it with the information for each magazine. I was wrong. Each magazine comes in a different size. Thus each magazine will have different advert-sizes as well. Layout for a magazine will look something like this: Size Trim Type Bleed Full Page 280x440 270x430 290x450 Half Page 140x220 130x210 150x230 etc... Some mags will not have values for Half pages since they dont print half pages and others will not have specs for Bleed. Because of this - as an easy way out I created a table per magazine. It works but i dont think its very smart.
Break it down! Ok so what im trying as a solution is to have three tables. The 1st table will hold the magID and Size values (e.g Half Page). The 2nd table will also have the magID and the Trim, Type, Bleed info. The 3rd table holds magID, sizeID, specID and the actual value (140x220). I thought that this would be better because within these three tables i can store the information for each magazine regardless of their differences. Brilliant!
The Problem. The problem comes when i have to put it all back together again. I need to represent this data in a table so i can bind it to a datagrid. I have NO idea how to do this. What i THINK i need to have is some temp table created on the fly. The row names for this temp table will come from the 1st table. The column names will come from the 2nd table and the values for each field will come from the 3rd table bound by foreign keys. I've somewhat managed to do this with INNER JOINS. But it doesn't give the desired result. I need to set row and column NAMES using tables 1 & 2 then populate the columns with table 3, then bind to a datagrid.
Any ideas on how i could manage this?
If you made it tis far through my question then thanks anyways! I hope you can help me out!
i want to write a query that takes any one specific person's schedule for an entire specific day, adds an arbitrary number of days to datStartTime, and finally inserts the PKSlotINDEX corresponding to the calcultated StartTime and fkPersonINDEX.
wow complicated isnt it...
the goal is to take the schedule of one day for one person and copy it to another day; i can scrap my current layout if necessary.
I have 2 tables: First table: empID,PlanID,groupID Second: PlanID,groupID,EffectiveDate,TerminationDate,DeadlineDate I need to show only employee with in spesific group who is not enroll for the current month until deadline passed.
The field [q5] has one of three values in it: "Happy", "Unhappy" or "Neither".
I have a list of about 50 session ID's. If a record in [tblQuiz] has a [sessionid] that matches one in this list, then: if [q5]= 'Happy' then change it to 'Unhappy' if [q5]= 'Unhappy' then change it to 'Happy'
The only way I can think of is to change all of one matching record type to some other value, then change all the other type, then change all the original type back to the other type. Which doesn't make much sense even when I've written it down, much less when I'm doing it and have to remember where I'm at. Is there a better way?
I have some table data and know how I want the results but I'm just having a bit of trouble in constructing the SQL logic to obtain the desired results. There's a site where visitors are able to select from a list of parts, and it will return a set of model/products that they can produce with the selected parts. Here's the data ...
