How To Convert GUID GuidConverter ConvertTo Int32

Feb 15, 2007

Hi,

Can anyone help me figure out how to convert from type GUID to int32 format which will be the format to store in sqlserver database?

I have retrieved the UserId of a particular user in the current users profile (which is also a field in a row of data  in table aspnet_Users) using this method:

MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(CreateUserWizard1.UserName);

and now would like to cast the following

user.ProviderUserKey type int32.

I thought the way to go was to use a GuidConverter  by doing such as below by first assigning the user.ProviderUserKey in the _UserID variable and then calling:

TypeConverter converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(_UserID);

Int32 newUserId = (Int32)converter.ConvertTo(_UserID, typeof(Int32));

But it blows up!  any ideas?

thanks

Failed To Convert Parameter Value From A String To A Guid?

Jul 3, 2007

 Hi all,I have setup my database that have 3 columns:1. Primary Key2. UserId (UniqueIdentifier, Guid I guess) - I set it up so I can insert the value from the Membership table (UserId) for some relationship.3.  Another Foreign key with just an int. I tried to build a DAL, ran a test and received this error: "Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Guid." Before I setup my UserId to be UniqueIdentifier and let it be just an Int, I don't have any problem retrieving data. Here is the SELECT query that I built with the DataSet:SELECT     aspnet_Users.UserId, t_music.MUSIC_TITLEFROM       t_user_viewedJOIN        aspnet_Users ON aspnet_Users.UserId = t_user_viewed.UserId JOIN       t_music ON t_music.MUSIC_PK = t_user_viewed.MUSIC_PK_FKWHERE   aspnet_Users.UserId = @UserId Any help would be greatly appreciated,Kenny.

How To Convert SQL Unique Identifier In A Csv File To A SSIS GUID Variable

Aug 21, 2007

Here's a problem description I read on another post but I have the same issue:

I am trying to Import Data from a csv file into a SQL Sever table. The Data being imported has a Unique Identifier in it but it is being considered as DT_WSTR datatype in SSIS



When i directly try to import, it gives an error:



The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".



I Tried to use Data Conversion to convert it to DT_GUID and import into SQL Server table but it again throws the above error.
Anyone has a clue?

Thanks!

Parameterized Query That Counts The Number Of Null Values In An Int32 Column

Jul 18, 2006

Using c# in the compact framework, is there a way to do a parameterized query for counting the number of records where a specified column is null. I tried all of these, but none of them work:

cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlInt32.Null));
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";

cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", DBNull.Value));

cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";

cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlInt32.Null));

cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

cmd.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", DBNull.Value));


cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));
cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;
cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));

cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;

cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));

cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;

cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";



cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Int32));


cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;


cmdGetNumRead.CommandText = "select count(*) from TableName where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));


cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;
cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));



cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = SqlInt32.Null;

cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

md.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));



cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;

cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where IntColumn is not @IntColumn";



cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlCeParameter("@IntColumn", SqlDbType.Variant));




cmd.Parameters["@IntColumn"].Value = DBNull.Value;


cmd.CommandText = "select count(*) from Meter where not IntColumn = @IntColumn";

Whenever I use a "is not" in the query I get an exception, otherwise it returns a count of 0 which is not accurate. Any help will be appreciated.

GUID

May 26, 2006

Hello,

I'm working on a smart client app that has an offline sql express store and needs to work with several types of central databases (support for multiple products - ms sql, DB2 etc)

While trying to put together some offline functionality that needs the user to create records on the offline sql express data store, we've run into the need of being able to uniquely identify records so replicating the data in the offline store back into the primary database should not be a problem.

The data created offline spans many tables and involves several tables with relation ships - FK etc...Clearly not a simple case of store and forward.

We dont want to get into the mess of performing key replacement during a synch job with the server. Thats way too much trouble.

GUID seems like a good choice, but as always we have several stake holders having different opinions. And with databases other than MS SQL we will have to store them as strings.

To cut to the chase - can we not hash a GUID to get an integer while retaining atleast the same likelyhood of producing unique ids ? [no drop]

Thanks,

Aviansh

Profile GUID

Apr 13, 2007

I am using a SqlDatasource and need to set a SelectParamter to the ProviderUserKey (The GUID of the user when Profiles are enabled)
 Can anyone tell me whether it is possible and How?
I am currently using the session state to store it in and then using the session=... to get the value into the parameter.
Is there a direct way of passing this value into a SelectParameter when using a SqlDataSource?
Thanks in advance.

How To Specify A Guid In A WHERE Clause

Sep 25, 2007

Hi Everyone,
  I'm trying to create a SQL Delete statement using a string builder and the WHERE clause uses a Guid. Here is the code:stb.Append("DELETE FROM UserRights WHERE UserIDPtr = ");
stb.Append(TargetUserID);The resulting string is:  "DELETE FROM UserRights WHERE UserIDPtr = e01549fb-edf5-4668-de8b-b13dd5661a6e"
When I try to do an ExecuteNonQuery() using the string as the CommandText, I get an error.
Invalid column name 'e01549fb',Invalid column name 'edf5',Invalid column name 'de8b',Invalid column name 'b13dd5661a6e'
It is also strange that '4668' did not show up as an invalid column name, but I don't think that is relavent to this issue.
Can someone show me (or point me to an article) about using Guid's in a text string as a SQL command? Thanks in advance!

GUID Issues

May 5, 2008

My database is using the membership store for all the user information. I added a tabel "Skills" with 3 fields "SkillID (GUID)" "SeekerID (GUID, This is the UserId)" and "SkillName ( Varchar(MAX))"
on the page i have a ListView setup to display the SkillName fields based on the SeekerID.
The original code was     Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
          ' Get a reference to the currently logged on user          Dim CurrentUser As MembershipUser = Membership.GetUser
          ' Determine the currently logged on user's UserId value
          Dim SeekerID As Guid = CType(CurrentUser.ProviderUserKey, Object)
     End Subthat kept returning string to GUID conversion errors, so i had to change  Dim SeekerID As Guid = CType(CurrentUser.ProviderUserKey, Object) to Dim SeekerID As Object = CType(CurrentUser.ProviderUserKey.ToString(), Object) that appears to be working now. On the same page however, I want to insert records into the table, I tried 2 options both of which have a different problem.
     Option 1: Use a textbox (ID = NewSkill) and a button with the following code on it:
          Protected Sub SetNewSkill_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)               Dim CurrentUser As MembershipUser = Membership.GetUser
               Dim SeekerGUID As Object = CType(CurrentUser.ProviderUserKey, Object)
 
               Dim NewSkill As TextBox = CType(FindControl("NewSkill"), TextBox)               Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("QJSdatabase").ConnectionString()
               Dim insertSql As String = "INSERT INTO Skills(SeekerID, SkillName)VALUES(@SeekerGUID, @NewSkill)"               Using myConnection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
                    myConnection.Open()                    Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(insertSql, myConnection)
                    myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SeekerGUID", SeekerGUID)                    myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewSkill", NewSkill.Text.Trim())
                    myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
                    myConnection.Close()
               End Using
          End Sub
 
     Problem: myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@NewSkill", NewSkill.Text.Trim())  gets outlined and returns the error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
 
     Option 2: Use a DetailsView linked to a SQLDataSource on the page
           <asp:DetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" Height="50px" Width="210px"
               AutoGenerateRows="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DefaultMode="Insert">                    <Fields>
                         <asp:BoundField DataField="SkillName" HeaderText="Add Skill:" SortExpression="SkillName" />
                         <asp:CommandField ShowInsertButton="True" />
                         <asp:TemplateField InsertVisible="False">
                              <EditItemTemplate>
                                   <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                              </EditItemTemplate>
                              <ItemTemplate>
                                   <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server"></asp:Label>
                              </ItemTemplate>
                    </asp:TemplateField>
               </Fields>
          </asp:DetailsView>
           <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:database %>"
               DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Skills] WHERE [SkillID] = @SkillID"                InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Skills] ([SeekerID], [SkillName]) VALUES (@SeekerGUID, @SkillName)"
               SelectCommand="SELECT SkillName FROM [Skills]"
               UpdateCommand="UPDATE [Skills] SET [SkillName] = @SkillName WHERE [SkillID] = @SkillID">
                    <DeleteParameters>
                         <asp:Parameter Name="SkillID" Type="Object" />
                    </DeleteParameters>
                    <InsertParameters>
                         <asp:Parameter Name="SeekerGUID" Type="Object" />
                         <asp:Parameter Name="SkillName" Type="String" />
                    </InsertParameters>
                    <UpdateParameters>
                         <asp:Parameter Name="SkillName" Type="String" />
                         <asp:Parameter Name="SkillID" Type="Object" />
                    </UpdateParameters>
            </asp:SqlDataSource>
 
            http://junk.icore-studios.com/junk/Codeissues/postresumeerror.html
The @SeekerGUID is being generated by the same pageload code as the first chunk i gave (I have 2 variables SeekerID is the GUID converted to string to work with the ListView filter and SeekerGUID is the GUID)
 
Ultimatly getting either option to work would be fine. Though I think the second would be preferable because I think it'd be easier to replicate later on.
Thanks in advance for your time and any help

GUID Troubles.

Apr 17, 2004

Hi,

I am having a hard time updating a database row using a UNIQUEIDENTIFIER. I retrieve the row into a datagrid and then use the GUID as a parameter to a stored procedure, but it doesn't update. If I run the query in SQL Analyser ... it works. Any ideas ? Here's my stored proc ... I tried passing a varchar and doing the conversion in the SP ... no go !! I am using MApplicationBlockD.


CREATE PROCEDURE spScanUpdate
@id varchar (100),
@name varchar (75)
AS
DECLARE @GUID_ID as uniqueidentifier
SELECT@GUID_ID = CAST ( @id as uniqueidentifier )

UPDATE tScan
SET name = @name
WHEREid = @GUID_ID

GUID Performance

Apr 11, 2008

I have a database with tables with GUID's als primary keys.

Because of the uniqueness GUID's are a performance hit on INSERT records.

So I wanted to use NEWSQUENTIALID() to make INSERTS faster.

Does NEWSQUENTIALID() increase performance as well with SELECT statements? Or is the benefit between NEWID() and NEWSQUENTIALID() only when INSERTing records?

Loving GUID's

Apr 29, 2008

I'm reluctant to admit I'm in love with uniqueidentifiers AKA guid's.

However, this love comes with a cost because of the size and thus SQL Cache and thus IO reads (and fragmented index pages and so on)

My love has to do with generic programming and keeping multiple database updateable (adding core functionality with the flexibility to let users add and change data in tables that have core data in it as well). Also merging databases is easy or relate different entities by storing a metadata link table.

So, what I'm trying to do is making the disadvantages as small as possible.

So I'm using NEWSEQUENTIAL Id's and retrieve new made records with OUTPUT as TABLE.

So I changed the default CLUSTERED INDEX as NON-CLUSTERED.

I'm not fond on usings numerics for some primary keys and uniqueidentifiers for others.

What else can I do to keep using GUID's as primary keys with as less disadvantages as possible?

GUID As Primary Key

Mar 13, 2008

I have a table profiles and a table resumes.
The id's are currently int indentity fields.
I was thinking of using a GUID as ID.

Why would i do this ?

In my webapplication I have i.e. this page
DeleteProfile.aspx?profileId=1

I don't want to give the user the ability to change this to f.e.
DeleteProfile.aspx?profileId=3

A user will almost possibly never guess a certain GUID, right ?

Is this a good idea, or not ?

Is A GUID Always Unique?

Jul 20, 2005

Greetings All, I have read many upon many articles here regarding GUIDdata types and uniqueness. There have been many opinions regardingthe effectiveness of GUID's and when they should/should not be used.However, every article strongly implies, if it does not state itoutright, that GUID's are always unique. My question is this, whathappens if you have a database that uses GUID's and the NIC is changedout on the box? From what I understand the MAC address of the NIC isused as part of the algorithm to generate a GUID. If you change outthe NIC after generating 1 billion GUID's do you run the chance ofgenerating a duplicate GUID?I look forward to your insightfulness on this issue.Regards, Louis.

GUID Question

Sep 17, 2006

I am reading a book and it talks a little bit about using GUIDs as primary keys. I am very confused about this because if this is a generated value per table, how could you use it as a foreign key in another table as it appears to be uniquely generated per table. Here is the code in the book which I don't understand. Can someone explain this in simple terms?

I know the identity column would be a problem if I had a multi-terabyte database with huge tables, so what do I do in this situation?

create table dbo.product(

productid uniqueidentifier not null

rowguidcol default (newid())

primary key nonclustered

etc

thx,

Return GUID On Insert

Oct 24, 2007

once upon a time someone told me how to do this, but i forget, and it was for classic asp..
 so what im trying to do is create a new record (a workstation) and get back the auto generated ID (its not actually a GUID, its an int which is set to the identity) and then once i have that create other records (for external devices, different table) that will have a link to which machine they are attached to (that Id im looking to get returned)
I know this can be done in a two step process, create the record, query it for its id, and then slap that in my next insert statement for the external devices... but... i know there was a way to do it before and i assume there is a way to do it now...
anyone know how?
Thanks

My problem is that even though by looking at the data I know that after the execution of the procedure it should return some guid value it doesn't anybody who had the same issue??? That is the code block where I am trying to return guid from my stored procedure:   getGroupID.Parameters("@GroupName").Value = dr.Item("Group ID").ToString()            If getGroupID.ExecuteScalar() = Nothing Then                'Find Group by IP address if input Data Table doesn't have group                getGroupIDByIP.Parameters("@IP").Value = dr.Item("IP").ToString()                If getGroupIDByIP.ExecuteScalar() = Nothing Then                    insertGroup.Parameters("@GroupID").Value = Guid.NewGuid                    insertGroup.Parameters("@Group").Value = dr.Item("Group ID")                    insertGroup.Parameters("@ACCID").Value = getAccID.ExecuteScalar()                    insertGroup.ExecuteNonQuery()                    command.Parameters("@Group_ID").Value = getGroupID.ExecuteScalar()                Else                    command.Parameters("@Group_ID").Value = getGroupIDByIP.ExecuteScalar()                End If            Else                command.Parameters("@Group_ID").Value = getGroupID.ExecuteScalar()            End If Thank you

How Can I Verify A GUID Number ?

May 13, 2004

Dear SQL,

I need to SELECT something from a database that has a UNIQUEIDENTIFIER (GUID) field,

If the number is wrong (has some other than A-Z 0-9) than the ASP page just freaks out and gets "error converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier"

How can I check that the GUID is OK before I SELECT ?
this is the number format:
{7A9B5F81-4936-4A31-B4E2-9168AAB75A0}

I tried to cast this "error" number with no successs:
"WHERE Deceased_ID = cast('"& "---------4936-4A31-B4E2-9168AAB75A0" &"' as uniqueidentifier)"


Thanks in advance, Yovav.

I am having a terrible time doing an insert.... dispite what the error message says, I think it has something to do with trying to insert a GUID (my primary key).... but I am probably wrong :-)

Any ideas
