Hi all
I just got SQL server 2k5 installed and working....im just trying to figure out how to make an auto incremement column wiht an integer..
or has it been replaced with the "unique identifyer"
Abyss
Hello,
I Have a table that needs to have 2 unique number.
detail_id and detail_print_id.
detail_id is already an IDENTITY.
both fields need to be different, because when importing, it imports the same data into a table twice, with only a slight data change (and id is not one of the changes).
So I thought i could do the following:
detail_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,2),
detail_print_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(2,2),
--blah blah
that way, the detail_id will always be odd, and the detail_print_id will always be even. however SQL Server 2005 only allows 1 identity per table, and both these fields need to be auto generated when the field is inserted, so as to prevent double data.
is there anyway I can create a int column to auto increment, without the column being an IDENTITY??
also, I would prefer to not have to create a second table with a single column just for this work.
Thanks,
Justin
I have an MS SQL Server table with a Job Number field I need this field to start at a certain number then auto increment from there. Is there a way to do this programatically or within MSDE?
Thanks, Justin.

{
txtbxDiagID.Text = sqlDr[0].ToString()+ "1"
;
}
else
txtbxDiagID.Text="1";
sqlCon.Close();
It's been a long time since I've had to check an index for the highest value, then add 1, to create a new unique key. These past few years, it seems this is usually done for you. But now that I'm working with MS-SQL, I don't see it. Is it there? It's doesn't seem to be inherent in the definition.

Firstly Hello to everyone I'm new the forum and fairly new to .net
I'm working on web datbase application using visual studios 05 and MS SQL05 I've used 2003 (briefly) before but 2005 is very new to me.
To my problem I download the GUI interface from microsoft so I can now setup a local database and do my own testing.
I have created the table and fields with in it however on a particular table i have made a primary Key and left it as an INT but I would like to set it as auto increment ! I dont know how to select that option as i was used to mysql way of doing things or does this have to be done as a stored procedure ?
Any assistance much appreciated.
I am very new to using SQL server 7. I've always used mysql in the past. I cant figure out howto create a autoincrementing key for my tables... is it possible to do in SQL7?? If so.. how.. i thought you just set the datatype to auto increment etc...

I would like to avoid using a cursor. I am updating several rows in a table with sequential numbers starting at a number I pass into the Stored Procedure. Is there a way to do this with one update statement?

Hey,
Here is what happened:
Users for a long time have been able to post new topics in our forums. However, a short time ago, the some users began to experience problems. What I have narrowed it down to is that upon inserting into the table, sometimes id value for the topic is the same as an id that is already in the table, so it fails to insert the record (due to a constraint). However, the topic id column is an auto-increment column and should just assign the next number for the id value.
Any ideas?
I have important a table from mircosoft access into ms sql server 2000, I've created a new ID row and set the primary key - but I need to use the ID from microsoft access as well. therefore I'd like to add an auto increment +1 on the old access ID field... but how do I do that?

Hi all,I have a table where I have my ProdPK set up as Primary key, turned on "Is Identity" and set the Identity increment to 1. But each time I add a new item, the number incremented by 2... I have couple of other tables and they are all fine, just this particular table increased twice as it should. I check the setting against other tables and everything seems to be the same. By the way, this is adding the data to the table inside MS SQL Server Management Studio manually. I haven't done anything in the ASP.NET page yet. Thank you very much,Kenny.

Im building a site within Visual Studio 2005 and im using the SQL database system it provides. I currently have a number of tables each with a primary key that is set to the 'int' field type and also set to auto increment 1, 2, 3 etc etc. My question is it there a way to make this field increment automatically, providing a unique value but also automatically placing a couple of pre-defined letters before the number? Obviously it can't be an 'int' anymore because it'll be holding something like MEM1, MEM2 etc. Is there a way to do this is Visual Studio?
Many Thanks!
Dear all,
I am using SQL express 2005 in visual studio 2008. I would like to use Form View to insert new record in the table. There is a column call "id". I think it is too stupid to let user enter a unique identifier instead of generating by the system.
I know how to generate a random integer number in a normal TextBox. However, when I edit the InsertItemTemplate, I cannot modified the value of that textbox. For example, i couldn't use "TextBox1.Text = temp;" here. How can I achieve to change this TextBox's value by the system that I would like to generate a random interger. Thanks a lot.

I've created a table. How do I modify the ID so that it is
auto-increment? I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to
access my tables.
Ok, I've been charged with the task of setting up an IVR(interactive voice response) system for remote data entry. It was all going great till I got to the utility's Database connector. It wouldn't work, but I saw that the program also supported VBScript, great! I know VBScript.
Simple task, setup a simple flow where data can be entered. I setup a DSN for the access database(not quite MS SQL, but close enough) I'd created. It gave me a syntax error when I tried to use '' in an auto increment field. I think the exact query was:
"INSERT INTO test_table VALUES('',$RV[Store Number],'$RV[Objective]','question1','question2',question3');"
The database setup was:
id(AutoNumber),store_number(number),objective(text),q1(text),q2(text),q3(text)
Changed the auto number in the query to a 0 and it worked fine, but of course it was only to test if it would work. It would create a duplicate row if it went further than the first row.
I don't understand what my syntax error was. The $RV[*] are variables retrieved by procedures in the IVR scripting program. Need this for work so I can setup a demo of the system to present to my boss' bosses' bosses
I am trying to insert a bunch of data into a table with an auto-increment field (ProductID) and my insert query fails.
Error message:
Code:
PHP Warning: mssql_query() message: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ProductID', table 'RCDBTest.dbo.ServiceDefaults'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. (severity 16) in C:InetpubwwwrootMS_updater.php on line 13
But I am not inserting into that ProductID column...shouldnt it just use the next auto-increment number?
Query:
Code:
INSERT INTO tablename (Product_Type_Number) VALUES ('100')
Any helpful thoughts?
Is it possible to have leading zero for an auto increment id field? I need to do this when i am migrating a table. I am thinking if i cannot do this when migrating then i will have to use stored procedure to achieve this.
Thanks.

I have a column that is not set to auto increment "IDX and Im inserting 800 part numbers but i want the IDX column to start at IDX 400 and increment 1 time per part number that is inserted. how can i accomplished that task.

I'm using SQL 2008 with table [AgentDetails] and fields [IDCode],[FirstName],[LastName],..etc. [IDCode] is alphanumeric [AAA001].
Is it possible to increment both alpha & numeric when new record is inserted. e.g.
AAA001,AAA002......AAA999,AAB000,AAB001,...AAB999,AAC000,AAC001...etc. with a user function or some stored procedure.
I'm populating a table (TMP_SQL) with data from several other tables in our database.
I need to create through SQL commands a counter variable to fill TMP_SQL's KEY1 field. The data I'm pulling in from other tables does not have a field that is always 100% gaurenteed unique, so I need to create a counter for a key field.
Pseudo code:
insert into TMP_SQL(tmp_key1, tmp_general1, tmp_general2, tmp_number1, ....)
select @counter, someColumn, someColumn2, (select column3 from other table returning 1 row),...
from table1 where things = things.
How can I implement @counter = @counter + 1? Is this possible? I tried:
DECLARE @COUNTER INT
SET @COUNTER = 0
and then had @COUNTER = @COUNTER + 1 in my select statement; of course, I got the error about not being able to set variables in the same select as data-retrieval
Computers never do what I tell them to...

I have a little problem with SQL Server 2005. I have chosen the option "auto-increment" for a column which includes the primary key. Moreover, I turned the option "Ignore double values" on. I get the datasets from a SSIS-Import-project. Unfortunately, the ID is getting incremented even if there are double values.
For example:
The first entries in the table have the IDs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Then I start the SSIS-project which tries to write the first 5 entries again in the database. Of course, the entries do not appear again in the db but a new entry gets the ID 11 instead of 6. Is there a setting, that the ID won't get incremented if there double values?
Thanks
