Just when I though I knew what I was doing. I ran into a roadblock.
I have two tables, organizations & users
I am building a form online for orgs to input their own information.
How do I insert into both tables when the org table needs to know what the
user_id is, but the user_id hasn't been created until the form is submitted?
Any help or request for additional info would be more than great.
Thanks!
Hi,
So I'm having an issue with a SqlTransaction and retrieving the auto-increment ID after an insert. Presumably this is because I have to commit the transaction before the ID's are generated, but I need the ID's before I commit the transaction (because their is another part of the transaction that requires them).
Is there any way to get these id's other than maybe getting the Max(ID) and auto-incrementing them myself in code to what they will be when the transaction is committed. If this is the best way how do I ensure no other connections can insert stuff while this transaction is going on?
Or is there a better way to do this whole thing? (i don't know really know how to do stored procedures, and presumably this would be the best way, but is there a good way to do it not Stored Procedures)
Thanks!
I have a (1) date field and (2) an auto-incrementing ID field that always throw me errors when I'm doing a programmatic insert.
(1) After doing many searches on the subject, I don't think I'm using the correct syntax for the date and can't find any suggestion that works. Would appreciate your knowledge on correct SQL syntax for inserting a "today's date" field.
(2) I'm using the following code to create a new auto-incrementing ID for each record but it seems that there should be a smoother method to force the field's value to auto-increment. Any ideas?

Hello all,I'm a total newbie with SQL Server 2000 and I have a little problem whenmoving a database form Access 2000 to SQL Server 2000.In the Access database, each table has an auto-increment field.After importing the tables in SQL Server, all the auto-increment fieldsare turned into "int" type fields.Does anybody have an explanation for that mystery?Thanks in advance,Yan

View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm populating a table (TMP_SQL) with data from several other tables in our database.
I need to create through SQL commands a counter variable to fill TMP_SQL's KEY1 field. The data I'm pulling in from other tables does not have a field that is always 100% gaurenteed unique, so I need to create a counter for a key field.
Pseudo code:
insert into TMP_SQL(tmp_key1, tmp_general1, tmp_general2, tmp_number1, ....)
select @counter, someColumn, someColumn2, (select column3 from other table returning 1 row),...
from table1 where things = things.
How can I implement @counter = @counter + 1? Is this possible? I tried:
DECLARE @COUNTER INT
SET @COUNTER = 0
and then had @COUNTER = @COUNTER + 1 in my select statement; of course, I got the error about not being able to set variables in the same select as data-retrieval

Hello,
I Have a table that needs to have 2 unique number.
detail_id and detail_print_id.
detail_id is already an IDENTITY.
both fields need to be different, because when importing, it imports the same data into a table twice, with only a slight data change (and id is not one of the changes).
So I thought i could do the following:
detail_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,2),
detail_print_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(2,2),
--blah blah
that way, the detail_id will always be odd, and the detail_print_id will always be even. however SQL Server 2005 only allows 1 identity per table, and both these fields need to be auto generated when the field is inserted, so as to prevent double data.
is there anyway I can create a int column to auto increment, without the column being an IDENTITY??
also, I would prefer to not have to create a second table with a single column just for this work.
Thanks,
Justin
I have an MS SQL Server table with a Job Number field I need this field to start at a certain number then auto increment from there. Is there a way to do this programatically or within MSDE?

It's been a long time since I've had to check an index for the highest value, then add 1, to create a new unique key. These past few years, it seems this is usually done for you. But now that I'm working with MS-SQL, I don't see it. Is it there? It's doesn't seem to be inherent in the definition.

Any assistance much appreciated.

I would like to avoid using a cursor. I am updating several rows in a table with sequential numbers starting at a number I pass into the Stored Procedure. Is there a way to do this with one update statement?

Hey,
Here is what happened:
Users for a long time have been able to post new topics in our forums. However, a short time ago, the some users began to experience problems. What I have narrowed it down to is that upon inserting into the table, sometimes id value for the topic is the same as an id that is already in the table, so it fails to insert the record (due to a constraint). However, the topic id column is an auto-increment column and should just assign the next number for the id value.
Any ideas?

Hi all,I have a table where I have my ProdPK set up as Primary key, turned on "Is Identity" and set the Identity increment to 1. But each time I add a new item, the number incremented by 2... I have couple of other tables and they are all fine, just this particular table increased twice as it should. I check the setting against other tables and everything seems to be the same. By the way, this is adding the data to the table inside MS SQL Server Management Studio manually. I haven't done anything in the ASP.NET page yet. Thank you very much,Kenny.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHey,
Im building a site within Visual Studio 2005 and im using the SQL database system it provides. I currently have a number of tables each with a primary key that is set to the 'int' field type and also set to auto increment 1, 2, 3 etc etc. My question is it there a way to make this field increment automatically, providing a unique value but also automatically placing a couple of pre-defined letters before the number? Obviously it can't be an 'int' anymore because it'll be holding something like MEM1, MEM2 etc. Is there a way to do this is Visual Studio?
Many Thanks!
Dear all,
I am using SQL express 2005 in visual studio 2008. I would like to use Form View to insert new record in the table. There is a column call "id". I think it is too stupid to let user enter a unique identifier instead of generating by the system.
I know how to generate a random integer number in a normal TextBox. However, when I edit the InsertItemTemplate, I cannot modified the value of that textbox. For example, i couldn't use "TextBox1.Text = temp;" here. How can I achieve to change this TextBox's value by the system that I would like to generate a random interger. Thanks a lot.

I've created a table. How do I modify the ID so that it is
auto-increment? I'm using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to
access my tables.
Ok, I've been charged with the task of setting up an IVR(interactive voice response) system for remote data entry. It was all going great till I got to the utility's Database connector. It wouldn't work, but I saw that the program also supported VBScript, great! I know VBScript.
Simple task, setup a simple flow where data can be entered. I setup a DSN for the access database(not quite MS SQL, but close enough) I'd created. It gave me a syntax error when I tried to use '' in an auto increment field. I think the exact query was:
"INSERT INTO test_table VALUES('',$RV[Store Number],'$RV[Objective]','question1','question2',question3');"
The database setup was:
id(AutoNumber),store_number(number),objective(text),q1(text),q2(text),q3(text)
Changed the auto number in the query to a 0 and it worked fine, but of course it was only to test if it would work. It would create a duplicate row if it went further than the first row.
I don't understand what my syntax error was. The $RV[*] are variables retrieved by procedures in the IVR scripting program. Need this for work so I can setup a demo of the system to present to my boss' bosses' bosses
I am trying to insert a bunch of data into a table with an auto-increment field (ProductID) and my insert query fails.
Error message:
Code:
PHP Warning: mssql_query() message: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ProductID', table 'RCDBTest.dbo.ServiceDefaults'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. (severity 16) in C:InetpubwwwrootMS_updater.php on line 13
But I am not inserting into that ProductID column...shouldnt it just use the next auto-increment number?
Query:
Code:
INSERT INTO tablename (Product_Type_Number) VALUES ('100')
Any helpful thoughts?
Is it possible to have leading zero for an auto increment id field? I need to do this when i am migrating a table. I am thinking if i cannot do this when migrating then i will have to use stored procedure to achieve this.
Thanks.
