How To Avoid PrimaryKey Duplication?
Aug 19, 2007
Hi, I having a problem with my query...
I want to copy data from 4 different database to 1 database... but if the destination database have already the same Primary Key the copying stops/terminated and not copying others that is not yet in the destination...
I don't have knowledge in T-SQL like IF...ELSE
my database is SQL Server 2000 but i'm using SQL 2005 Express Management for the query...
What i'm doing is like this:
Use osa (Destination Database)
Go
DELETE FROM tblFaculty (*I'll delete first the datas to avoid duplication)
INSERT INTO tblFaculty (FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode)
(SELECT FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode FROM cislucena.dbo.tMasFaculty)
INSERT INTO tblFaculty (FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode)
(SELECT FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode FROM amapn.dbo.tMasFaculty)
INSERT INTO tblFaculty (FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode)
(SELECT FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode FROM abe.dbo.tMasFaculty)
INSERT INTO tblFaculty (FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode)
(SELECT FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode FROM aclc.dbo.tMasFaculty)
My problem is if the facultyID (PrimaryKey) which i'm copying is already on the destination which is osa, the copying stops/terminated regardless whether there is more to copy. On the 4 source database, there might data that other database also has. That's why the copying is terminated. All i want to do is to check first each FacultyID if it is already on the destination before copying it to avoid error or duplication of Primary Key so it won't terminate the copying.
How is this possible sir? Anyone care to help? Thanks in advance! More Power!
Best Regards

DATETIME AS PrimaryKey?
Hi Dears!
declare @dtpk smalldatetime
select @dtpk=getdate()
print @dtpk
in the above, i m using @dtpk as a primary key value in a
table to keep a track of some events that are occuring with
a difference of one second. the above method gives me value
to store in the Primary key Filed (EventTime smalldatetime)
in the form "Dec 1 2005 7:57PM" where my requirement is
to save it in the form "Dec 1 2005 7:57:12.03PM" so as to
make it unique for the primary key field(EventTime
smalldatetime). how to get required datetime format with
the help of above statements to store as primary key in
EventTime field of type smalldatetime.

Hello
I've taken over a database where for many tables the postcode field (equivilent to the US Zip Code) is the obvious primary key. [Mapping postcodes to distict or various types of area for statistical analysis]. However the people who set up the database have continually used an auto generated number for the primary key.
There are never any duplicate postcodes in the various tables, so my question is what is the advantage of either using or not using the postcodes as primary keys.

I've a question. I've an old db here with no Primary keys nearly but a lot of identity's set, one for each table (nearly). I'm wondering, could something somehow go wrong with some sp's or anything if I make primary keys of these identities? Question why I'm asking is that we're takinging about doing replication but can't since there are primary keys lacking but we dont dare to change ém into primary keys if something might go wrong since we dont have knowledge about that.
Thanks for help.

I want to know if this primary key behavior is unique to Access or if it is THE WAY that all industry-standard primary keys work. Thus, I hope not to get too messed up on my SQL Server 2005 project--or any other SQL project.
In Access, I set up a table 'tbl_Gen_Admin_sto' to store general administration expenses. This is a budget. So, there can be at most one entry per budget_year / cost_center / account_number / month. If there are two or more entries, the data is messed up, something is wrong.
Therefore, I defined a muliple-field primary key for tbl_Gen_Admin_sto. If I make a programming mistake and enter data multiple times, the primary key feature will stop my program from entering the same data multiple times.
As I often do, I copy the data into another table, in this case tbl_Gen_Admin_tmp for manipulation in a form. (I.e., I connect a form to tbl_Gen_Admin_tmp.) The tmp version is a pivoted version of the sto table. So, in sto, I have one amount field for each month. In tmp, I have no month field, but do have one amount field for every month of the year (12 amount fields).
The transfer of data to tmp went fine. The user adds, changes, and deletes records in tmp through the form. When the user is done and wants to save the changes (and not discard changes), my program deletes the selected records from sto, then inserts the records from tmp.
But lo! Access was not accepting the new records because (error message) "key violations". The delete went fine. But the insert would not take.
I deleted the multiple-field primary key index in sto. Then I created a multiple-field regular index with no duplicates allowed. Now, sto accepts the insert.
I thought that when I deleted the records, the primary key field is gone--zzzzpft! But aparently Access is keeping track of all primary keys. Even though I deleted the record, for all eternity I will never ever be able to re-insert with the same primary key.
Here is where I need your help: Am I going to run into this same primary key behavior in SQL Server 2005? If so, is it because I have encountered the fundamental definition of primary key?
(I hope you don't beat me up too much for abusing primary keys.)

Hey,
I have a page that inserts into a customers table in the DataBase a new customer account using this function:
Public Function InsertCustomers(ByRef sessionid, ByVal email, ByVal pass, Optional ByVal fname = "", Optional ByVal lname = "", Optional ByVal company = "", Optional ByVal pobox = "", Optional ByVal add1 = "", Optional ByVal add2 = "", Optional ByVal city = "", Optional ByVal state = "", Optional ByVal postalcode = "", Optional ByVal country = 0, Optional ByVal tel = "")
Dim result As New DataSet
Dim tempid As Integer
Dim conn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("Conn"))
Dim Adcust As New SqlDataAdapter
Adcust.InsertCommand = New SqlCommand
Adcust.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand
Adcust.InsertCommand.Connection = conn
Adcust.SelectCommand.Connection = conn
sessionExists(email, sessionid, 1)
conn.Open()
If fname = "" Then
Adcust.InsertCommand.CommandText = "Insert Into neelwafu.customers(email,password,sessionid) Values('" & email & "','" & pass & "','" & sessionid & "')"
Else
Dim strsql As String
strsql = "Insert Into neelwafu.customers"
strsql = strsql & "(sessionid,email,password,fname,lname,company,pobox,address,address2,city,state,postalcode,countrycode,tel) values("
strsql = strsql & "'" & sessionid & "','" & email & "','" & pass & "','" & fname & "','" & lname & "','" & company & "','" & pobox & "','" & add1 & "','" & add2 & "','" & city & "','" & state & "','" & postalcode & "', " & country & ",'" & tel & "')"
Adcust.InsertCommand.CommandText = strsql
End If
Adcust.InsertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Adcust.SelectCommand.CommandText = "Select Max(id) from neelwafu.Customers"
tempid = CInt(Adcust.SelectCommand.ExecuteScalar())
conn.Close()
Return tempid
End Function
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, I am getting an error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_customers_1'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'customers'. The statement has been terminated.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The customers table has as a primary key the 'email'.....
so plz can I know why am I getting this error ????
Thank you in advance

HI
I have created a job to run a reporting services job which then named it in the job scheduler 354EEF12-404F-46BD-B54F-708B5027837F. I then renamed the job to Rpt ETL log.
However it I was surpised to see two emails come with reference to this report. It seems to have created another one with the long job names.
Is there any way to stop this as I would really like to name to schduled rpt jobs without it duplicating.
Many Thanks

Hello
I noticed a spelling mistake in the data in a column of several tables, I used the following syntax to alter the spelling:
UPDATE [dbo].[Prod_Cat] SET [ProdName]=N'merseyside' WHERE ProdName = 'mmserseyside'
The above code correctly updated the spelling error, but it also inserted a new row with the corrected data.
So I found myself with two Identical rows containing the corrected information. I had to manually delete the extra row. Because if I had put in a DELETE statement, I would have then lost both rows.
What do I need to do to prevent this happening next time. As I find that I need to update the names of some products, but I don't want to duplicate them.
Thanks

Hello,
I have a table which consists of 27,000 of records. Among these records, there is one record which
is a duplication of another record.
Is there any way to track this record from the same table by the SQL statement ?
I have been advised to use the following statement but it does not help:
Select count(*) As Duplicate, columnname from tablename group by columnname
Scrolling 27,000 lines of records with bare eyes is very painful.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Hi
I have a set of excel files that i need to export to sql2005 using ssis. Now the issue is that i have no idea about he data ie it may have duplication in the primary key column. If i export it as it is to sql server, it will cause me problems. Is there any way i can filter out the rows which have duplication in the primary key column?

Hi All,
Scenario: De-duplication logic should pick one record from source and check with all the destination records and insert if not duplicate. Else raise error. There are average 8 to 10 lookup check for each logic path. Key fields used for de-duplication check are FirstName, LastName, DOB, Gender, SSN.
Issues:
· Since picking row by row and processing the performance is constrained.
· Since 8-10 comparison is done using lookup performance downstream. (Lookup is used without caching, if cashing is used the package is failing after sometimes as if memory is failing. Can we handle this memory problem?)
Please give some suggestion to improve the performance. Current performance is around 2500 records per hour, but there are 8 lac records in total to process.
I am looking for guidance on this issue. If someone can guide me on how to do it better it would help me a lot.
Thanks,
S Suresh

Hello, everyone. I am having problems catching a data duplication issue. I hope I can get an answer in this forum. If not, I would appreciate it if someone can direct me to the right forum.
I am working on a vs2005 app which is connected to a sql2005 db. Precisely, I am working on a registration form. Users go to the registration page, enter the data, ie. name, address, email, etc. and submit to register to the site.
The INSERT query works like a charm. The only problem is that I am trying to reject registrations for which an email address was used. I put a constraint on the email field in the table and now if I try to register using an e-mail address that already exists in the database I get a violation error (only visible on the local machine) on the sql's email field, which is expected.
How can I catch that there is already an email address in the database and stop the execution of the code and possibly show a message to the user to use a different address?
Thank you for all your help.

I am using Remote Data service to Query an Sql Server Database using MDAC. The Os in which server is loaded in Window 2003 and the MDAC 2.8 version is installed. Now I create a table X with identity column. Then when I try to insert records in that table using Insert into X select * from Y statement. The statement gets executed by when i check the X table I find that the duplicate records are present with different identity no's.
Even when i truncate and retry the same thing occurs.
What could be the reason for the same??

We have a large table which is very old and not much ppl take care about, recently there is a performance problem from the report need to query to this table. Eventally we find that this table have primary key missing and there is duplicate data which make "alter table add primary key" don't work
Besides the data size of this table require unacceptable time to execute something like "insert into new_table_with_pk from select distinct * from old table"
Do you have any recommendation of fixing this? As the application run on oracle , sybase and sql server, is that cross database approace will work?

When I tried to create a bar chart using SSRS 2012, the vertical axis values are repeating for smaller data sets values. It's only happening when the data labels are below 5, when the data is above 5 this chart represents data fine.
I tried specifying the custom intervals and this option all together eliminated the  bar for value 1, instead it only showed the value 1 as text on the chart.
I tried changing the data interval type as number and the data type is of Integer, these are counts which I am showing in the chart.

I found some fragmented data pages in my database tables.
I have found out using DBCC Showcontig commands.
I want to remove data fragmentation.
My tables are replicated. Is it possible to remove fragmentation
without using export and import. Please help me in fixing this problem.
Is there any way to fix replication failure with out recreating it.
My replication has failed saying is timout error.error is could not connect
subscriber. But I can able to ping the subscriber and if I create a new publisher and subscriber it is working fine. But existing one is not working.
What might be the possible reason. We have recreated the replication. We droped the existing one and recreated it. It took around 14 hours to sync.
Is there any way to resync with out recreate publication. We are using transaction replication and merge replication.

Happy new year to all! Now a question...
I added a new column to StagePayments table - Activity - which is supposed to end up being the same as the JobActivityID from the JobActivities table. Basically, I need to get JobActivities (JA) info and put it in the StagePayment (SP) column. Problem is there are duplicate JA/Descriptions and SP/Activities, so what I need is to take the first sequence SP/Activity and grab the first JA/JobActivityID that matches for a particular JobID. Then get the next one of each and so on and so on...

I know somehow I have to get the duplicate Activities in the same sequence as the Descriptions, but that's where I'm stuck?!?
If anyone is able to offer suggestions on how to get this to update correctly, I'd be very happy to hear about it!

Hi,
I need to query a database for a recordset and insert this into another database row-by-row.
For each record I want to provide a time of insert, but for each insert this time has to be incremented by 1, the time format is HH:MM:SS.0000 so for each inserted record the last decimal point would increment by 1.
Can I do this without a cursor ?
Any additional info I will provide gladly.
Thanks!

I am conducting stress testing for my website and keep getting deadlocks with the following message when one process is adding about 100 records per second and another process is trying to access the data:
Transaction (Process ID 499) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
What do I need to do in my stored procedures to avoid this? I only have ONE stored prcoedure that locks a row while incrementing an ID value. I am not doing any other locks, so is this a SQL Server system lock?
Any advise would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Application is a Work Tracking/Timesheet database.The increments of work are stored in the TimesheetItem table. Thiscontains, inter alia, the Work Code, the Start and the Duration thatthe employee spent that day on a particular project.Some employees in the Network Support Department don't complete astandard 7.5 hour day for various reasons, so for every Network Supportperson I need to update these particular days with an amount to bringthe total day's hours to 7.5.This SQL will get me a list of all TimesheetItem records for thepersonnel concerned.SELECTTimesheetItem.TypeID,[Work].WorkCode,TimesheetItem.Start AS Start,SUM(CAST(TimesheetItem.DurationMins AS float) / 60) AS HoursFROMTimesheetItem LEFT OUTER JOIN[Work] ON TimesheetItem.WorkID = [Work].WorkIDWHERE(TimesheetItem.EmployeeID IN(SELECT EmployeeID FROM Employee WHERE DepartmentID = 2))GROUP BYTimesheetItem.TypeID, TimesheetItem.Start, [Work].WorkCodeHAVING(TimesheetItem.Start >= @FromDate) AND (TimesheetItem.Start <= @ToDate)ORDER BYTimesheetItem.StartWhat I need is to group these records by EmployeeID where theaccumulated hours per day are < 7.5, so that I can then insert anincrement to make up the difference.I'm writing this from home and I don't have access to the tables toprovide a script, but there's nothing untoward there.Hope someone can help!ThanksEdward

I have a long sql batch that does this:1. Gets a list of all tables in user database that start with name COREdeclare@tablenamevarchar(30),@commandvarchar(2000),@cntintegerdeclare GetCOREOids cursor forselect sysobjects.namefrom sysobjectswhere ( OBJECTPROPERTY(sysobjects.id,N'IsUserTable')=1 ) and( sysobjects.name like 'CORE%' or sysobjects.name ='CMNSTRStructGeomBasicPort') and( sysobjects.name not like 'CORESpatialIndex%') and (sysobjects.namenot like 'COREDeletedObjects%') and( sysobjects.name not in('CORERelationOrigin','CORERelationDestination') ) and( sysobjects.id in ( select id from syscolumns where name = 'oid') )for read only2. Populates a temporary table with distinct oids from the list.create table [#tSP3DCoreOid] (oid UNIQUEIDENTIFIER)open GetCOREOidsfetch GetCOREOids into @tablenamewhile ( @@fetch_status = 0)beginselect @command = 'insert into [#tSP3DCoreOid] select distinct oid from' + @tablenameexecute(@command)--print @tablename + ' rows: ' + convert(char,@@rowcount)fetch GetCOREOids into @tablenameend /* while */--Clean upclose GetCOREOidsdeallocate GetCOREOids3. Creates a cursor to get "invalid" oids from 2 other tablesdeclare DanglingRelation cursor forselect oid from [dbo].[CORERelationOrigin] RO where not exists( select oid from [#tSP3DCoreOid] where oid = RO.oid )unionselect oid from [dbo].[CORERelationDestination] RD where not exists( select oid from [#tSP3DCoreOid] where oid = RD.oid )4. Loops thru. the cursor examining each oid and then calls aStoredProc to update another tabledeclare @objectOid uniqueidentifierdeclare @tempOid uniqueidentifieropen DanglingRelationfetch DanglingRelation into @ObjectOidwhile ( @@fetch_status = 0)beginset @tempOid='00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'if left(@ObjectOid,8)='00000002'select @tempOid=oid from COREToDoList where Oid=@ObjectOidelse if left(@ObjectOid,8)='00000003'select @tempOid=oid from COREToDoRecord where Oid=@ObjectOidelse if left(@ObjectOid,8)='00000004'elseselect @tempOid=oid from COREBaseClass where Oid=@ObjectOidif @tempOid = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'BEGINexec CORESetObjectIntegrity @ObjectOid, 2ENDfetch DanglingRelation into @ObjectOidendclose DanglingRelationdeallocate DanglingRelationdrop table [#tSP3DCoreOid]Now the #tSP3DCoreOid temp table can sometimes get as many as 7.5million rows and this is making the batch fail on SQLServer as it runsout of memory.I think the problem is the cursor here and would like somefeedback/tips on how to best optimise it.thanks a lotSunit
