How To Generate 13 Digit Number From Two Data Colu
Aug 22, 2007
Hi
I have two below datacolumns
'code'- varchar 255 (Unique number) data : chr456Umx
'Packs'- integer data : 6
Is it posible to generate 13 digit number using the above two columns,
The reason is if I run the procedure I will get same 13 digit all the time depending on the above two colums
below is the sample procedure I am using
CREATE PROCEDURE AMZSelCen
@imglink nvarchar(255)
AS
Select code as sku,
PdtBarCode as [standard-product-id],
'EAN' as [product-id-type],
--generate 13 digit number
make+' '+model+' ' +', Price for '+cast(NumPacks as varchar(8)) +' '+'Packs' as title,
make as manufacturer,'
I want to build a string that contains today's date (without the time).
For example, if select GETDATE() returns 2008-04-28 14:18:34.180, I want to end up with either
(1) 2008-04-28 or (2) 20080428. (I always want the month to be represented by a 2 digit number)
Is there a datepart parameter that will give me (1) in one shot? I don't think so, since datepart returns an integer and (1) is not in the form of an integer.
So, I was trying to build (2) by using the yyyy, mm, and dd parameters to extract out the appropriate parts and casting them to a string and contatentating them. However, when I do the month portion, (using mm) it gives me the integer that represents the month, and this number can be 1 or 2 digits depending on the month. I always want it to be a 2 digit number. For example, if I'm in Apr, I want to end up with "04", not "4". This would also apply to the day portion. (although the date that I'm writing this post is on the 28th so I'm not certain what GETDATE() will return on dates that are 1 digit.)
The only way I can get the single digit month to write out as a 2 digit month is by doing a LEN() function on the string and if it is a length 1, then concatenate a "0" in front of it. I started doing this and the expression became too crazy, so I wanted to first check to see if someone can come up with something cleaner.
I am currently working on an app and have an issue with a table in the database. The table has 10,000 records in it and a column is added that is to use a 4 digit in sequence. The datatype for the new column is varchar since no math will ever be done on the added column. If necessary, I can change the datatype but would prefer not to. The 4 digit would start with 0000 at ID 1 and go to 9999 at ID 10000. I'm thinking some type of update statement since it is updating each record but how would it be done sequentially?

I have run into something really annoying. If I run the following SQL into SQL Server via SSMS it will load "31-DEC-49" as 2049-12-31. INSERT INTO Stg_StockProductCostPrice VALUES (0,9999,0.99,'15-NOV-75','31-DEC-49')
But if I have the same data in a file and load it via SSIS it is loading into the database as 1949-12-31, instead of 2049-12-31.
I know there is a property called "Two Digit Year Cutoff" against the server. It is defaulted to 2049. Is there anything similar within SSIS?
declare @newAnswerId int declare @newQuestionId int
set @QuestionName='New Question'
BEGIN TRANSACTION Q1
--Creates New QuestionId with AnswerId 0 INSERT INTO Questions(QuestionId,Name,AnswerId) SELECT 1 + COALESCE(MAX(QuestionId), 0),RTRIM(@QuestionName),0 FROM Questions
--QuestionId just now created SELECT @newQuestionId=QuestionId FROM Questions WHERE Name=@QuestionName
BEGIN TRANSACTION QA1
--Create an AnswerId INSERT INTO Answers(AnswerId) SELECT 1 + COALESCE(MAX(AnswerId), 0) FROM Answers
--AnswerId just now created(I hope not the best way to do like this) SELECT @newAnswerId=MAX(AnswerId) from Answers --is it the best way to call statement like this or any other way better than this
--update Questions Table with this new Answerid UPDATE Questions set AnswerId=@newAnswerId where QuestionId=@newQuestionId
COMMIT TRANSACTION QA1 COMMIT TRANSACTION Q1
I think the second Transaction is not locking the table.so some how i should be able to get the newly create AnswerId
i can't use the identity column in my tables
Can some one please have a look at it and suggest me how do we go about it..

Hello all, Is there any way to force Autonum to generate a number before an entire record is created? Some of my forms will not work because it needs a number already listed in its index (which uses Autonum) and cannot add to the table until it is created.I really need it to have a number ready and waiting upon the last record's completion.
I need to generate a random 10 digit alphanumeric string that is also unique within a table. My application will be calling a stored procedure to insert this number into the table. This number will be associated with a id from another table. Is it better to generate the random number within sql (and perform the lookup at the same time), then just pass the number back to the calling application ?
If the calling application generates the number, it will also need to make a call to check if its unique. So im thinking it would be best to simply have sql generate this random number, check the number against the table and then insert the new record.
Hi all anbody can help me writing sql code for this. All i need is to generate sequence basing on id_no Ex: if ID=ABC(twice) in seq_col as abc --1 abc ---2 Tables which I have Uniques_No ID_NO SEQ --------------------------------------------- 1 ABC 2 ABC 3 ABC 4 BBC 5 BBC
Expected results as below : ------------------
Uniques_No ID_NO SEQ --------------------------------------------- 1 ABC 1 2 ABC 2 3 ABC 3 4 BBC 1 5 BBC 2
I have a log table that displays the history of the status of an entity and the date the status changed.
member_id | modification_date | status
I wish to find the differences between datetime values in different rows of the modification_date column. I would need the amount of time between whatever the next sequential time was for the member. I would also need to know the status change in that time. I don't know how to do this with just one date column.
Hi, in Access, I can use an Auto-Increment number for my primary key field. May I know how do I do that in SQL Express?
In addition, is there any tutorial on how to use SQL Express to generate customised unique numbers (such as membership number, Customer ID such as A001 where A is based on the customer's name while 001 is due to the fact that the customer is the first among those with names starting with A)?
I'm trying to do a simple insert into a table, something like this:
insert into sometable (ID, somecolumn) select 'Task-ID', somevalue from SomeOtherTable where something = 'someothervalue' (or something to that effect)
So, the SELECT would generate something that looks like this:
What I don't know is, how do I programatically generate the number sequence? Note: I do not have admin rights to the table, i.e. I cannot just change a column to IDENTITY.
Also the 'Task-ID' must remain part of the ID; in other words, I can't just generate a GUID, and it needs to be easily identifiable.
What I'm hoping to do is rewrite my SQL like this:
insert into sometable (ID, somecolumn) select 'Task-ID.' + (generated seq #), somevalue from SomeOtherTable where something = 'someothervalue'
I need to create a script that adds an incrementing suffix to two columns, but restarts based on the value of another column. I found a similar question in the SQL Server 2000 forum, but it doesn't quite fit and also I'm working with SQL Server 2008 R2. The code below both creates a table with test data and tries to carry out the task. If you run this, you will see that the VISITNUM column has a value of UNS in row 4, UNS.1 in row 5 and UNS.2 in row 6. In row 7 it's V200, then in rows 8 and 9 it's UNS.3 for both. The same suffix gets applied to the VISIT column, but of course if I can solve this for VISITNUM then adding the suffix to VIST as well will be easy.
What I need is for row 8 to have UNS and row 9 to have UNS.1. In other words, any time the VISITNUM is UNS several times in a row, I need to add that ".X" suffix, but if a row has something other than UNS, I need to start over again the next time it's UNS again.
Hello. I have a column in my database which is holding phone number. The problem is that although I gave the number starting with zero but it will erase it automatically. So can you help me to solve this problem? Thank you
hey all i am stuck with this little problem I have a table with people's names and addresses and i have one column for the zip codes. sometimes it includes 5 digit zip codes like '70820' and some times it includes all nine digits like '70820-4565'
is there anyway to move the last 4 digits of the long zip codes into a new column? and remove the dash?
Help, I'm stuck! I have a Customer table:ID Name-- ---------------------1234 Christopher's Surf Boards4321 Christina's NailsI have to build a Account table:ID GPID-- --------------------1234 CHRIST004321 CHRIST01I've built a function that gives me the six alphas and concatenates thetwo digits. The GPID in the account table is the first six alphas ofthe company name plus two digits to ensure uniqueness. (Don't ask why Ican't use the existing id -- the story is long and boring.) I built afunction that creates the alpha part and assigns the first 00. I builta second function that I thought would check the Account table as I wasinserting and increment the numbers if the account number alreadyexisted. It doesn't work. In the above table, both IDs come out asCHRIST00. Here's the second function:ALTER FUNCTION fnValidateID(@mString varchar(15))RETURNS varchar(15)ASBEGINDECLARE@sTemp varchar(15),@sInc varchar(2),@iInc intBEGINset @sTemp = @mStringwhile exists (select GPID from dbo.tempID where GPID = @sTemp)beginset @iInc = convert(int,right(@mString,2)) + 1set @sInc = convert(varchar(2),@iInc)if len(@sInc) < 2 set @sInc = '0' + @sIncset @sTemp = substring(@sTemp,1,len(@sTemp) - 2) + @sIncend--NEXTENDRETURN @sTempENDMy first guess is that the code is okay, so far as it goes, but that Ican't check the values in the table at the same time I'm inserting intoit. (The Account table is empty, initially.) In any case, I can'tfigure out where I've gone wrong.Thanks.
I'm needing help with the following check digit calculation.
I have a Table with the following columns
Newscan nchar(31) checkdigit nchar (10)
Newscan ex value 012345670 600888081 307051111
I need to multiply each character by the following sequence starting on the left alternating the multiplyer skipping spaces 21212121
if the multiplyed number is greater than 9 I need to add the two digits together. Ex 2X9 = 18 for a saved value of 9
I then need to add the entire string together divide that by 10 and take the right most character and subtract that from 10 to end up with a check digit number that I want to store in the column checkdigit.
I have a case statement that converts the alpha chars in the string to the correct numeric values but I'm lost after that on how to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance for any help or direction.
I tried to look at the bank routing check digit function but couldn't get to the code of it.
I am sure this will be an easy one for you pros, but I am having a case of the Mondays. I am trying to retrieve a date in the format 2007.01.01. In trying to do this I either end up with 1 or null when trying to create the 01 part. Below is some test code for the month portion.
I am needing to o exactly what Zippygoose says (with ordered ID numbers). How do yo make an insert statement that will make a loop until let's say the ID reaches 8000??
Thanks in advanced,
Edit: User needs to fill his tables with sample data. (Sorry for the edit, but I prefer to split this thread instead of continuing an old one (2003!!)).
Dear All, I have some problems with the assignment from my professor.
Suppose there are two tables storing first names and last names, one table with column of first name and gender, the other with last name.
how to write stored procedures to get a random first name + random last name for Males or Female. like you got a list of all M & F first name and last name, then you try to match first name with any other last name (I believe this is random).
and the task is to write a script so each time when a female or male full name is need, it will return a random name for the requested gender.
I am totally struck and no idea how to deal with it, in fact I am just a beginning in SQL server, and I know there is a stored procedure to generate random number, however, I can't see the use of it here,,,,:eek:
Could anyone help me out ? thanks very much !!!:beer:
I'm a network admin who understands sql but have no reason to write it everyday so I have no idea how to approach this problem.
I am trying to generate usage statistics of our computer labs. I have written a few scripts that populate a sql 2005 database with the following information:
[datetime] [username] [computer] [event] 2007-10-10 15:25:03 tom earth logon 2007-10-10 15:39:09 john mars logon 2007-10-10 15:41:13 dave pluto logoff 2007-10-10 15:47:29 john mars logoff 2007-10-10 15:59:48 tom earth logoff
Each time a user logs on or logs off one of our lab computers the information is inserted into this database.
It seems that was the easy part. Lacking any local sql experts, I'm pondering where to go from here to generate usage statistics.
What I'm thinking is a SQL query (which I don't know how I'd write) that would calculate the session time and insert it into a new table. A session is defined as the time between a logon and logoff where the username and computer match.
The new table would look something like this:
[user] | [computer] | [sessionTime] | [day] tom | earth | 00:34:45 | 2007-10-10 john | mars | 00:08:20 | 2007-10-10
The logic of the query finds the first logon event and matches it with the first logoff event in which the username and computer match. It then subtracts the logon datetime from the logoff to calculate session time.
Is this a reasonable approach? Is the query easy to write?
Can Anyone tell me how to generate script with all table data from one database.I can generate script with table structure but not with table data.I want to generate with Table data.
