Mar 21, 2006Hi there,
I'm new to SQL Server please help me, i want to create identity column(AutoNumber) when creating views.
Hi there,
I'm new to SQL Server please help me, i want to create identity column(AutoNumber) when creating views.
I am creating a view for the table:
bellus=# select * from host_application_definition;
id | type_value | connection_value | group_value | application_value | host
----+------------+------------------+-------------+-------------------+----
From the table meta_host_types;
id | value | types | name
----+-------+-----------+--------
1 | agm | host-type | Rencid
I would like to seperate value into type_value and connection_value, because it holds both values.
Any tip?
bellus=# d host_application_definition;
Table "public.host_application_definition"
Column | Type | Modifiers
-------------------+---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default nextval('host_application_definition_id_seq'::regclass)
type_value | integer |
connection_value | integer |
group_value | integer |
application_value | integer |
host | integer |

I am trying a create views that would join 2 tables:
Table 1: Has all the columns need by a view (
Name: Product
Structure: ID, Attribute 1, Attribute 2, Attribute 3, Attribute 4, Attribute 5 etc
Table 2: Is a lookup table that provides the names of columns
Name: lookupTable
Structure: tableName, ColumnName, columnValue
Values: Product, Attribute1, Color
Product, Attribute2, Size
Product, Attribute3, Flavor
Product, Attribute4, Shape
I want to create a view that looks like
ID, Color, Size, Flavor, Shape
I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable.
What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify.
There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues.
The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it?
+Identity Specification (Is Identity) Identity Increment Identity Seed
Dear Friends... I'm having a problem...
I want to manually create the identity column for a table...
I have some dataflws, and in each dataflow I insert values in this table...
I need to start the controlflow in a SQL task to get the last ID and save it in a global variable with name D_INST_IDENTITY.
And in each dataflow I have a script component transform, to get the ID... using a local variable COUNTER! and for each row I increment this value...
Until this step there is no problem... the problem starts here...:
I need to refresh the global variable in the final of each dataflow in order that in the next sequence dataflow I have D_INST_IDENTITY refreshed......
D_INST_IDENTITY = D_INST_IDENTITY + COUNTER
How can I do it? I have a RowCount transform next the script component, but generates errors...
What do you think I can do it?
Thanks!!
Hi,
I am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time.
thanks.

Can a View include an identity column? If a view can include an identity column, how do you go about setting a column as an identity column.
Also how do you go about removing an identity property that may exist on column in a View
I am using SQL Server 2005.
I have table of three column first column is an ID column. However at creation of the table i have not set this column to auto increment. Then i have copied 50 rows in another table to this table then set the ID column values to zero.
Now I have changed the ID column to auto increment seed=1 increment=1 but the problem is i couldn't figure out how to update this ID column with zero value set to each row with this auto increment values so the ID column would have values from 1-50. Is there a away to do this?
Ok,I just need to know how to get the last record inserted by the highestIDENTITY number. Even if the computer was rebooted and it was twoweeks ago. (Does not have to do with the session).Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Trint
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with a third-party database (SQL Server 2005) and the problem here is the following:
- There are a bunch of ETL processes that needs to insert rows on a table (let's call this table T) and at the same time, an ERP (owner of T) is up and running (reading, updating and inserting on T).
- The PK of T is an Integer.
Today all ETL processes uses (select max(ID) + 1 from T) to insert new rows, so just picture the scenario. It is a mess! Everyday they get duplicate key error when 2 or more concurrent processes are trying to insert a row (with the max) at the same time.
Considering that I can't change the PK, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
To sum up:
* I need to have processes in parallel inserting on T
* I can't change anything on T
* The PK is NOT an Identity
When I create a view using Enterprise Manager, I can click on the 'Add Table' button to select a table. Is there any way I can tell EM that I want to include a table from another server?

I am stuck on creating views using the variables. I keep on getting the 'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch error. I understand that views need to be the first statement, but I have a lot of views that need to reference specific variables - is there any way to do this?
The code I am using is as follows:
DECLARE @view varchar(MAX)
DECLARE @database varchar(30)
SET @database = 'KateTEST3'
--Insert views
SET @view = 'USE ['+@database+']
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON;
CREATE view [dbo].[userssupplier]
as
SELECT *
FROM dbo.Users
WHERE (User_Type = 4.0) OR
(User_Type = 5.2)'
EXEC(@view)
Thanks
Hi all,
The requirement is to have a table say 'child_table', with an Identity column to refer another column from a table say 'Parent_table'..
i cannot implement this constraint, it throws the error when i execute the below Alter query,
ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id)
REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
the error thrown is :
Failed to execute alter table query: 'ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT
fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id) REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE
CASCADE '. Message: java.sql.SQLException: Cascading foreign key 'fk_1_ct' cannot be
created where the referencing column 'child_table.child_id' is an identity column.
any workarounds for this ?
In SQL 2K...i need to write a script that writes a script that creates all views in the order that they are nested and I am feeling lazy. Does anyone have anything handy?For example if View_BOB says...CREATE VIEW VIEW_BOBASSELECT COL_1 FROM VIEW_JOHNI need the script to generate a script that creates View_JOHN before View_BOB.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a pretty large database that has tables that will contain millions of rows of records. I will predominantly be using Views just to select the data. (I will not be performing any updates or inserts). I propose creating indexes on the views. My question is - if I create indexes on my views, do I have to create them on the tables as well? Is it good practice to create indexes on tables by default even if I am not going to be performing select statements directly on my tables but via my indexed views? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Can you create views within a stored procedure?
Hi guys,
If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time.
What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below:

[RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:

Hi,
I'm working with few examples from a 70-315 exam prep book.
I'm trying to view the Table design... edit/ create views from VS. NET environment.
But when i right click on the View node under Data Connection tree i get only "Refresh" & "Properties". According to this book.. i should be able to create new views from here.
I'm working with a SQL Server 2000 local installation. VS .NET is connected to the DB, as i tried other examples and i'm able to read from the DB.
My SQL server installation is a 120 days eval installation... has this got anything to do with the behavior ??
I also reied to establish a connection with SQL server 'sa' login... i could connect, but again i wasnt able to create 'views' access tables design.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
our group is debating whether we should use views or data marts. WE have some huge queries that can have many joins up to 20 in some cases. One part of our group wants to use views to pull this data and another thinks we should create a data mart off an SSIS package and run it early every morning and then have the users access the data directly from there.
I am not really sure how a view would speed things up. If I have 20 users and they all call a view the view is created 20 times is that not correct? Since a view is basically just a stored sql statement (not a stored proc) I am not seeing how this is any more efficient.
Is there a way to give someone the right to create only views and no other objects in a database? Currently I have given the individual ddladmin database rose, but would rather be more restrictive?

I am having a hard time creating a view with some complex math to chow availability for rental items.
My tables are as follows:
OrderHeader
OrderID int,
Site int,
StartDate datetime,
EndDate datetime
OrderDetail
OrderDetailID int,
Site int,
OrderID int,
ItemName varchar(30),
Qty int
ShipHeader
ShippingID int,
Type int,
ActionDate datetime
ShipDetail
ShipDetailID int ,
ShippingID int,
OrderDetailID int,
Qty int
Transaction
TransactionID int,
Type int
PurchaseHeader
PurchaseHeaderID int,
Site int
PickupDate datetime,
ReturnDate datetime,
PurchaseDetails
PurchaseDetailsID int,
PurchaseHeaderID int,
ItemName varchar(30),
Qty int
I need a view that shows how many items will be available on a particular day for a specified item, date range and a specified €œSite€? (Office location. For example, NY, LA, CA, etc.)
The quantity actually owned is calculated from the Transaction table. Type, Qty are the columns. (type 1 is a purchase or addition and type 2 is a sale or subtraction. The quantity owned is the sum of all type 1s minus the sum of all type 2s.
The ShipHeader table also shows types. Type 1 is ship, Type 2 is return and Type 3 is lost.
Initially, all availability is calculated based on the FromDate and ToDate of our order headers. However, once the order has shipped, the availability should change to our ship and return dates in our ShipDetails table. Additionally, there is a PurchaseDetails table that shows items to be €œSub-Rented€? for a time frame. The PurchaseHeader table contains the FromDate and ToDate for these sub-rented items to be added to availability. If an item is kept beyond the due date set in the OrderHeader, then the item should show as unavailable from the FromDate through all future dates (as there is no way of telling when a late item will be returning. Once, the item is either returned or marked as lost, it should become available again as of that date.
The view should list dates in each row with the number of units available on that date.
Also, a second view needs to be created that shows the details for the dates listed in the first view. this is essentially a list of the orders or puchase orders that were used to calculate the number available.
I think this covers it.
As I said, this is a bit complicated. i understand what needs to be done but need assistance assembling the code to make it happen.
