How To Generate / Populate Already Existing Column With Sequential Data
May 8, 2012
I have a table which is already populated with data (Microsoft SQL 2008). I have now created a new column (int) which i want to populate with sequential numbers so that the new column created will serve let me know how many records exist in the table at a glance.
what SQL statement I need to write that will automatically polulate the newly created column with 1,2,,3,4,5 etc so that I can sort of number the records within the table.
I have 50000 records which I need to number and I really dont want to number the column manually via hand editing.

I need sql script that can generate 'Create Table' definition including primary and foreign constraints for the table already existing in SQL server 2000.
Please do not refer me to the utilities or commercial software, I need only the sql script.

Currently I have a column with multiple postcodes in one value which are split with the “/” character along with the corresponding location data. What I need to do is split these postcode values into separate rows while keeping their corresponding location data.
For example
PostCode Latitude Longitude
66000/66100 42.696595 2.899370
20251/20270 42.196471 9.404951
Would become
PostCode Latitude Longitude
66000 42.696595 2.899370
66100 42.696595 2.899370
20251 42.196471 9.404951
20270 42.196471 9.404951

I have a table with 13,000 rows, in one column called Prioirty each row has a value of 1.
Is it possible to use SQL to replace all of these '1' values with a sequential list. Example 1,2,3,4,5,6,7....all the way to 13,000?

Need to change the datatype of existing column which has huge data.
I'm performing below steps
1. Create new column with correct datatype in the same table
2. copy data into new column
3. drop indexes on column
4. <<<>>>
now the existing column also has many SP dependent and I do not wish to drop them.
5. rename existing column to xxx
6. rename new column to correct column
7. drop old column
8. make required indexes

Hi, I have the lovely task of overhauling some of our SQL-based systems. I've found many tables that don't have unique identifying numbers that really should have them. I've searched around and people keep mentioning the Identity field as being similar to Autonumber in Access. The only examples I could find involved setting up a new table... but I need to add (and populate) an identity column to an existing database table. Does anyone know the command for this?
Example... my table is called PACountyTown. It currently has 3 columns: County, Town, and Area. I wish to call the identity-ish field RecordID.
Thanks in advance!

create a sequential aggregate of a column using sum in tsql.
I want a column that will sum up all hours work by transaction date.
for example
Monday my hours work will be 8 and therefore my total transaction hours will be 8.
Tuesday my hours work will be 8 but I want the total hours of my total transaction hours to 16.
Wed my total hours work will be 5 and I want the total hours of my total transaction hours to 21. etc.
Select myname, weekday, hours worked, Totalhours_ToDate =Sum(hours worked) from table

Here is my problem. I have a table with 4 columns id1,id2,id3,boxnum. Here is some sample data.
id1 id2 id3 boxnum
1 1 1
1 1 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
2 2 2
2 3 4
What I need is to be able to update boxnum with sequential numbers based on the unique set of values from the id columns. So my output would be this.
id1 id2 id3 boxnum
1 1 1 1
1 1 1 2
1 2 1 1
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 3
2 2 2 1
2 3 4 1

Hi,
Can anyone tell me offhand the simplest/most elegant way of updating an integer column to a sequential column of numbers with a query?
e.g given
intval | Description| Cost
0 | Descvalue0| 4.32
2 | Descvalue2| 4.33
3 | Descvalue3| 4.34
8 | Descvalue8| 4.35
change it to:
intval | Description| Cost
0 | Descvalue0| 4.32
1 | Descvalue2| 4.33
2 | Descvalue3| 4.34
3 | Descvalue8| 4.35
I think it might need a stored proc..
Many Thanks
greg

If A,C,E,G then "status" = "Active" else if B,D,F,H then "Status" = "Inactive". I like to do it using "Derived Column".

I am trying to update a name column in the following way: (I wrote a description, but I think this visual is easier to understand).
This is what I have:
name1 name2 address etc
Bob null 123 street
Sue null 123 street
Jack null ABC circle
This is what I want:
name1 name2 address etc
Bob Sue 123 street
Jack null ABC circle
I'm just trying to get 2 names on the same row if they have the same address and get rid of the spare row. Name2 is currently null. Seems simple enough but I don't know how to do it in SQL. I can do it in FoxPro, but that doesn't help me here.
Thanks for any ideas.

I am trying to populate a column with date/time info, I am doing this so I can use getdate() on the data for other computations (the format is mon/day/yr/hours/mins, i was told only data having mon/day/yr format can be used with getdate()). The code below says that dateyest is an invalid object name. Actually, any kind of insert I do reports the same error, no matter what column it is (securty on my account is all set, as well as for the stored proc.). I must be overlooking something very simple, right? thanks for the help!
DECLARE @dateYest datetime
DECLARE Cur668 CURSOR
Keyset
FOR
SELECT cast(date1 as datetime) dt
FROM baclosetable
OPEN Cur668
fetch next from cur668 into @dateyest
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
if @dateyest is not null
Insert dateyest VALUES (@dateYest)
fetch next from cur668 into @dateyest
END
CLOSE Cur668
DEALLOCATE Cur668

I am looking for a query which will populate one of my columns that contains some blanks with a defined value based on a value in another column
For example in the below table I would like the blanks in serial number to be populated with "SN09"
Product_NameSerial_Number
PRODUCT1
PRODUCT1
PRODUCT2SN10
PRODUCT3SN11
PRODUCT3SN11
PRODUCT1
So the query I am looking for would basically add some values to the results where they meet the right criteria.
I am running the query through a view so I dont actually want to add the values to the physical tables only to the view of the results if you understand what I mean?

I have the following 2 tables:
Table: classes Columns: classID, hp
Table: char_active Columns: name, classID, hp
The classes table is already populated.
What I want to do is insert a new row into char_active using the name and classID column, and have the HP column auto populate based on the corresponding value in the classes table. This is the trigger I wrote but I'm getting the error
Incorrect syntax near 'inserted'.
I'm new to sql, this is actually the first trigger I've tried writing.
create trigger new_hp on curr_chars.char_active
instead of insert
as
declare @hp tinyint
select @hp=lists.classes.hp from lists.classes where lists.classes.classID=inserted.classID
insert into curr_chars.char_active (name, classID, hp) inserted.name, inserted.classID, @hp

I simply need the ability using SQL to add columns in an existing table before (or after) columns that already exist.
The MS SQL implementation of ALTER TABLE doesn't seem to provide the before or after placement criteria I require. How is this done in MS SQL using SQL or is there a stored procedure I can use?
Thanks.

The following works just fine. The table tmpMHPCLMDET does have a column ADMTDT ( varchar(8) ).
While I am adding the sequence of numbers I like it to be sorted based on ADMTDT column.
What that means is the row with the earliest ( smallest ) ADMTDT will get 1 and the next 2 and so on.
Declare @ID int
If Exists ( Select c.name from sys.columns c where object_id = object_id('tmpMHPCLMDET') and C.name = 'ServiceLineID' )
Begin
--Adding a sequence of numbers to the ServiceLineID column.
SET @id = 0
UPDATE tmpMHPCLMDET
SET @id = ServiceLineID = @id + 1;
End;

Here is what I have and (somewhat understand). I’m using Visual Web
Developer 2005 Express Edition and have setup my application to use form authentication
(which automatically creates the ASPNETDB.MDF file with several default tables
and views). I’m using the CreateUserWizard
which is fine…but I need to collect additional information like (firstname,
lastname, address…and on..). What I’ve
done. I’ve created a tabled named
UserProfile and set UserId as the primary key (uniqueidentifier).
I then setup a 1-to-1 relationship
between aspnet_Users and UserProfile (which I think is correct). On my UpdateContactInfo.aspx page (where
users go to update their personal information) I use a hidden label control
(UserValue) to receive the UserId during the page_load event as below:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load UserValue.Text = Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey().ToString() End Sub Now with the UserID available I need to populate the
UserProfile table with the UserId, firstname, lastname, address of the
currently logged in user. How can I do this and am I on the
right track..?
