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.
Is it possible to add new data to an existing report. I already updated the SQL query, but the new data does not appear within the report. How can I modify the rows, columns and data fields???
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
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.
I have a temp table that's populated with an insert query in as toredprocedure. The temp table has a uniqueID as the primary key.In that table I have a column SortOrder.What I want to do is to create a sequential number in SortOrder butonly for records matching a WHERE statement, for example:(pardon the shorthand...)Insert *.tblPermanent into tblTempIf myField = 1 thenSortOrder = 1(2,3,4,5,.....etc.)elseSortOrder = 0Thankslq
I have a excel file which has a column called "Code" and their values are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I want to create a new column called "status" based on the values of "Code".
Code:
A B C D E F G H
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 couldn't find a topic suitable for testing this, so I thought I'd start one.
Here is one way to get the islands without a tally table.declare@test table (symbol char(3), dt smalldatetime)

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.
I want to load data that i receive everydays from my customers in .xls file format (excel) or cvs file format, to the database that i have created on this purpose. but when trying to do that whith SSIS; i got an error message .... that i can't import redudant data in my database column.
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

My query is
select #Account.Fdmsaccountno, #Account.Parentid, #Account.[Last_Post_Date], from #Account inner join [Dim_Outlet] on #account.FDMSAccountNo = [Dim_Outlet].FDMSAccountNo where #Account.Parentid = '878233342889' order by [Last_Post_Date] desc
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 a big table (> 40,000,000 rows) in SQL Server 2008 R2 database . I added new column of type int to the table. What is the fastest way to populate the column with -1 value. The table can be locked.
How to identify different fields with in a group of records?
Example: create table #test (ID int, Text varchar(10)) insert into #test select 1, 'ab' union all select 1, 'ab'
[Code] ...
I want to show additional field as Matched as ID 1 has same Text field on both the records, and for the ID 2 I want to show Unmatched as the Text fields are different but with the same ID.
I am having hard time to populate dynamic column based on parameters.For eg. Parameter-->Dates : Date(1) ,Date(2),Date(3)....Date (n) (Multiple-Parameters is selected by drop down list ) Report format: Id | Currency |Country |District |Date(1)- transaction |Date(2)-transaction |Date(n) 1 | $$ |USA |123 |523238 |643763573 |62376264
Now requirement is If user enter 1 date then only single column date(1) populate if enter (n) dates then n column Date(1) ,Date(2),Date(3)....Date (n) populate. kindly suggest me any solution requirement.
I tried to bind Visibility property of column with Parameters passed.So that user can see only those column for which they pass values.I am getting error "Index was outside the bounds of the array"
I write this expression under Column(Date)-->Property-->visibility --> hidden--> expression =iif(len(Parameters!VALUEDATE.Value(1)) > "0",false,true) Kindly suggest any working solution .Thank you

The above record has to inserted into the destination but SSIS gives error. The above is record from an excel file while importing it directly also gives error.
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 go
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?
Hi(SQL Server 2000)I have an existing table (t) with a column that is NOT an identity column(t.ID), but it has manually inserted "row numbers". I want to make thiscolumn become an identity column. This column is a key field to othertables, so I want to keep the row numbers that are allready inserted.From the Query Analyzer, how do I do this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Gunnar VyenliEDB-konsulent asNORWAY
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..?
