How To Set The Identity Specification For A Primary Key Using A Script, Instead Of SQL Server Management Studio?
May 7, 2008
If I right click on a primary key in SQL Server management studion, I can set the identity specification for a primary keyId so that it is indexible. I do this by setting the properties for "Is Identity", "Identity Increment", and "Identity Seed". This is wonderful, but I have been asked to perform this using a script instead of the SQL server GUI/Sql Server management studio. Is this possible? Does anyone know how to do this? If so, can you show me how?

Hi, I am having a bit of hassle with trying to enter details to multiple tables in SQL Server 2005.
I have four tables, an
Attendance Table (AttendanceID(PK Identity specific), MembershipNo, Date)
Resistance Table (ResistId(PK Identity specific), Weight , Reps, Sets)
Aerobics Tables(AerobicsID(PK Identity specific), MachineID, Intensity, Time)
and a linking table for all of them.... ExerciseMaster(AttendanceID,ResistanceID,AerobicsI D)
My problem is that I can insert data to each specific table by itself using seperate insert statements.....eg....
//insert an attendance record to the attendance table
string userID;
userID = Session["User"].ToString();
SqlDataSource pgpDataSource = new SqlDataSource();
pgpDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringLogin"].ToString();
pgpDataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;
pgpDataSource.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO [Attendance] ([MembershipNo], [Date]) VALUES (@MembershipNo, @Date)";
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("MembershipNo", userID);
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("Date", txtVisitDate.Text);
int RowsAffected = 0;
try
{
RowsAffected = pgpDataSource.Insert();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Server.Transfer("~/Problem.aspx");
}
finally
{
pgpDataSource = null;
}
//insert an aerobics record into the aerocibs table
SqlDataSource pgpDataSource = new SqlDataSource();
pgpDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringLogin"].ToString();
pgpDataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;
pgpDataSource.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO [Aerobics] ([MachineID], [Intensity], [ExerciseTime]) VALUES (@MachineID, @Intensity, @ExerciseTime)";
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("MachineID", rower.ToString());
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("Intensity", txtRowerLevel.Text);
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("ExerciseTime", txtRowerTime.Text);
int RowsAffected = 0;
try
{
RowsAffected = pgpDataSource.Insert();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Server.Transfer("~/Problem.aspx");
}
finally
{
pgpDataSource = null;
}
//same code as above for the resistance table
However, i am facing the problem where this does not populate the link table(ExerciseMaster) with any information as i am unable to write the relevant IDs into the table that have been auto generated by SQL Server for each of the subTables.
I have read several forums where they recommend using something called @@IDENTITY but i have no idea how or where to use this in order to fill my exercise table...
Any help would be so much appreciated.... Also, hopefully what i have said all makes sense and someone will be able to help me...oh and one more thing...this is an ASP.NET page coding in C#
Cheers

I have recently installed the SQL Server Management Studio Express but I do not find Management Tools in order to create scheduled backups and shrinking of the databases. I was under the impression that this should be included in the Management Studio. I use the SQL 2005 Express for smaller customers who run the SQL on a desktop unit. I need a way to backup the data to a server machine for backup purposes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

I have a database in my "App_Data" folder of my visual studio project. I can view it fine in Visual Studio's built-in tools for managing a database attached to a solution. However i recently started playing around with the SQL Server Management Studio Express program. When i attach my database to Management Studio, and try to run my program it crashes. I think it might be a permissions error?!? When i detatch it and reattach it in visual studio it runs fine again. Any suggestions? ThanksJason

Hi,
How do I determine what the next "id" will be in a collumn where the Identity Specification is turned on with Identity Increment?
I have two tables, the one contains product information and the other is a photo album. When I create a new product, then I automatically create an associated photo album. It all works fine, but I have found some problems after using this setup for a while to manage products.
For example, say I have created 10 products (id's 1 to 10) , and then I decide to remove the last 5 products from the list. The next time I add a new product, it will be product number 6, but the id will be 11 (seeing that the id's will always be unique). How do I determine what the next Identity value will be seeing that the actual last id might not be the last one that was allocated?
RegardsJan

I am not very clear about the use of 'identity specification properties'. There does not seem to be a great use of identity increments and seeds, it seems something that saves manual work, but to a very little extent
Anyone willing to shed some light?

I am new to visual studio and I am still not sure of all its components and features.
I installed visual studio 2005 standard edition but cannot find SQL Server Management Studio?
I guess this must be because it is not included with Visual studio 2005 standard. Is it included with VS 2005 professional?
I want to add pictures of products to my shopping site using an SQL database and I’ve been told that SQL Server Management studio is required as it is a graphical tool.
How would I go about obtaining the SQL server management studio. There seems to be different versions of SQL server that it is confusing to know which one to purchase.
Will the SQL server 2005 version that comes with Visual studio standard be sufficient for me now right? I want to create a shopping site with hundreds, perhaps even thousands of products. I want to use an SQL server 2005 database. The database will include ‘dynamically generated’ product images if that is the correct terminology.
My goodness, it seems I still have so much to learn.
Thanks

what happens when a column marked as Identity Specification reaches the limit? for example, I have some code tables using tinyints as keys, the actual number of entries will be 20 or so but there is some volatility, so eventually the 255 limit will be reached, what happens then?
the same thing applies to ints or bigints used as keys, eventually the database must run out of numbers
information will be appreciated

I have a database table as follows:
eg
1) myGameRecency which contains columns : GameId (identity specification column/primary key/not null), Date (not null), [1], [2], [3], [4]
Using the myGameRecencyAllBalls table ---
I wish to insert a date into a new row but have not been able to determine how to with the identity specification on the GameId column.
Can anyone please assist?
Thank you.

sqlCmd.CommandText = "DECLARE @date datetime SET @date = '" + Date +
"DECLARE @lastRowGameId int " +
"DECLARE lastrow_gameidcursor CURSOR SCROLL FOR " +

First of all, I'm new to the forums, and I'm still getting started with VBEE and SQL.
I'm building a simple Windows Application that has a SQL Database with three tables, related to each other. In all of them I need to set one column as a simple index for the rows (1, 2, 3... etc), to work as a PK and relate to the other tables' FKs.
I've set the property Identity Specification of the column to Yes, and added some rows of data for testing. If you just keep adding rows, the PK columns work fine, but if you start deleting rows, the numbering gets fragmented, and the relations between the tables lose integrity.
I've tried the MSDN Online Help topics, but they just tell you this:
If an identity column exists for a table with frequent deletions, gaps can occur between identity values. If you want to avoid such gaps, do not use the identity property.
So, my questions are: is there another way around this problem? How to number rows automatically and re-number them when a row is deleted, and keep the table relations working? It has anything to do with constraints?
Sorry if my question was already answered, I really couldn't find anything like my problem searching the forums. Thanks in advance.
(and also, sorry for the bad english... )

subject says it all -- is it possible to automatically expand the identity specification node in table properties for the Management Studio or VS2005 diagram mode? when creating a DB, it seems ridiculous that for EVERY table I have to add an extra click to get to just one more clickable item that ought to be exposed by default.

Hi,
Using Management Studio, when I import data from one identical database to another, any identity specifications get dropped from the destination database.
(From columns which have them on the source database and which had them on the destination database.)
Any way to avoid this?

Most of the tables in my database are implemented with IDENTITY columns as the primary key.
When an INSERT from my application is attempted, sometimes I get an error returned stating that insert
cannot be done because of duplicate key value. If I try the INSERT again, sometimes it works(??). Of course,
DBCC CHECKIDENT resets the identity value if trying the INSERT again doesn't work. Then sometime a little later, the problem happens again.
Is there anything I can do other than placing into my application code the execution of dbcc checkident
anytime I want to do an insert to prevent the error? By the way, DBCC CHECKDB revealed no problems.
HELP!

I have a table to store int primary keys. Where the value nextID is the value to use.I need to get the value and update it (nextID + 1) before the next person gets it.I thought using tran would work but it doesn't stop a select.How do I get a value (lock the table for the update), update the table (preventing any selects until done) and release the table.
BEGIN TRAN
UPDATE TableIds
SET NextId = NextId + 1
WHERE TableName = 'Users'
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:20'
SELECT NextId
FROM TableIds
WHERE TableName = 'Users'
COMMIT TRAN
I really want to do this in the reverse order but it doesn't work. But if I do this and have another query to just do a select:
SELECT NextId
FROM TableIds
WHERE TableName = 'Users'
This query never returns. Doesn't the COMMIT TRAN release the lock on the table?

Can a Primary Key column also be a Identity column? The reason I am asking this question is because I have created a table and each time I insert data into the Address Table I am also inserting the AddressID, how do I get the Primary Key (AddressID column) to self generate ID values.

I have SQL server 2005 developer edition installed on my machine. I was expecting something like Enterprise manager to manage databases but nothing is installed by default. Ive found SQL server management studio express and installed it, but Ive also seen references to SQL Server Management Studio. Are there any differences between the two , or are they the same and are just described differently ?? Im a bit confused, Microsoft should make this clear.

Hey everyone,
Would someone please tell me why the new SQL Server Managment Studio comes with hardly not frills? What happened to the SQL Enterprise Manager in SQL Server 2000? It had DTS, SQL Agent Job and step viewing, Cool Wizards.. All that great stuff. but with this new Sql Server Management Studio with 2005 all I can do is pretty much look at the data and write queries and create and modify tables. Am I missing something?
I did download an external tool which was called an import/export wizard but it sucks compaired to the DTS in SQL 2000.
I did notice when I open my Sql Server Management Studio "Express" that it is the Express version... Is there a difference?
Thanks for any help.

I have installed SQL Server Management Studio (for SQL2005) to a pc. When the user boots the pc, the following error is received:
fmaagent.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled.
Process id =0x328 (808), Thread id=0x32c (812).
Click Ok to terminate the application.
Click CANCEL to debug the application.
After clicking on OK, the pc continues on its merry way and boots up successfully.
Does anyone know what would cause this error? I have checked the Microsoft site but did not find this error listed among the documents.
The PC is running Windows XP.
Thanks in advance.

I have the "Ready to Launch" package, which includes Vidual Studio 2005 Standard Edition, SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and something else called BizTalk Server 2006.
Anyway, Visual Studio is spread across two CD's and I have installed that. I now want to use the SQL Server Management Studio to administer a database I have running on a website. Anyway, SQL Server is on a DVD and when I put it into the drive it comes up with the autorun screen. I noticed that in the top left corner of this screen it says "SQL Server 2005 (Disc 1 of 2). However, there is no second disc, so I'm wondering if this is a problem or just a typo left over from the CD version.
There is two options in the menu under Install, "Server Components, tools, Books Online, and samples" and "Run the SQL Native Client Installation Wizard." I have tried both of these options and I still don't have the SQL Server Management Studio. In fact if I select the first option, when I get half way through the wizard, it asks what components I want installed. I cannot see any reference to the SQL Server Management Studio in this list, so I just select everything to be sure.
Once it has finsihed installing, all it does is create a Start Menu folder called "Microsoft SQL Server 2005" and another folder inside that called "Configuration Tools." This folder just contains a few things like configuration manager and surface area configuration, etc...
So where do I find this SQL Server Management Studio? Have I done something wrong or am I missing something (like a second disc)? I'm installing on to Windows XP, would that cause the problem? Do I need to be installing on to some sort of server OS (which I don't have BTW as I'm just a regular user looking for a way to administer my MS SQL database and I heard this tool was the way to go)?

Hi,
I have just completely installed MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition in MS Server 2003.
After installation, I only have the Configuration Manager, Error and Usage Reporting and Surface Area Configuration, listed under Configuration Details.
SQL Server Management Studio is not accessible anywhere.
I also do not have the folder C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90ToolsBinnVSShell in which the SQL Server Management Studio is installed.
What must I do to get this component installed?
In this article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143219.aspx, it is also written in step 8 that there should be a "Components to Install" page. I have done the installations and uninstallations a few times, but I still do not have "Components to Install" page. In fact, after step 7, I am brought to the "Features Selection" page.
What can I do to solve this problem? Please help.
Thanks.
