I know that <asp:SqlDataSource> is fast, but is it a good practice to use this. The sqldatasource is right there in the aspx page and the SQL for sqldatasource is also right there.Does that not break the 3 tier model, as normally we call a database layer and we have all the SQL's there. In one of the code in saw the following. I don't know if it is a good practice to do something like this. <asp:DropDownList ID="CountryDropDownList" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataTextField="PickListLabel" DataValueField="PickListValue" OnDataBound="hidePanel"> </asp:DropDownList><asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:webrepos %>" SelectCommand="SELECT [PickListLabel], [PicklistValue] FROM [PickList_Values] WHERE (([ObjectName] = @ObjectName) AND ([FieldName] = @FieldName)) ORDER BY [AbbrCode]"> <SelectParameters> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="Account" Name="ObjectName" Type="String" /> <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="Country__c" Name="FieldName" Type="String" /> </SelectParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>

I would like to have a stored procedure executed once a week via a DTS package. The data I would like inserted into Table_2, which is the table where the DTS is being executed on, comes from a weekly dump from Oracle into a Table_1 via another DTS package.
I would like to only import data since the last import so I was thinking of my logic to be like this:
INSERT INTO Table_2
(Field1, Field2, ... , FieldN)
VALUES (SELECT Field1, Field2, ... , FieldN FROM Table_1 WHERE ThisDate > MAX(Table_2.ThatDate))
Does this make sense? Or do you all suggest a different mannger of accomplishing this?

I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times before, so I'm after a link to a good answer.
I have tens of thousands of milk crates, holding dozens of different types of milk in hundreds of locations. I am used to working with objects but not databases. For this situation however I want the security of SQLServer transactions to track, for example, when a robot moves a crate from one location to another.
I am thinking of using SQLServer as a store. On startup I want to get my ecosystem of objects out of the store. While I am running, I'll just use objects. When I change an object property I want it to securely persist. I don't want to snapshot the whole menagerie of object states, just update the values that changed. Which will sometimes include the addition or deletion of objects. How do I do this? Is there an example somewhere that does this (or approximately this)?
I use VB and have Visual Studio 2005. (Which, by the way, is stunning. I thought all that "you will use less time and code more and better" talk was just hype. But its for real. Amazing product.)

Hi All,
I need to send out email when error occurs in the package. Is it a good practice to put the send email task in the event handler? Then MaximumErrorCount is set to 1. But for some reason, some time I saw more than one email are sent out. Please advise. Thanks

Hi All,
This may sound quite easy for you, however I am a newbie in SQL.
So I have an identity field, which I wish to increment automatically every time I do an insert. However the starting integer has to be the MAX value from another table.
So for example I am doing an insert in a #temp table
INSERT INTO #temp(name, surname)
SELECT name, surname from table1
Now the personId of the #temp table has to start from the MAX of table2
Ie SELECT MAX(personId) from table2
The SELECT MAX(personId) from table2 can also be NULL, ie the first time I am inserting, so I also have to cater for this scenario.
can anyone help?
Thanks
Johann

I noticed in SQL ODBC API reference that SQLGetTypeInfo would return true for AUTO_INCREMENT if a smallint field is defined as autoincrement. Is there a simple way to set a field autoincrement thru the SQL Server`s front end?

Hey guys,
I have 2 tables:
1. CommandCode( id AutoIncrement_integer, name string )
2. FooCode( FooID integer, CommandCodeID integer)
I have the following stored procedure
PROCEDURE InsertRows( CodeName VARCHAR )
INSERT INTO CommandCode ( name ) VALUES (CodeName)
Now right here I need to INSERT INTO the "FooCode" table using the same ID that was just added to the CommandCode table. How can I retrieve the last inserted autoincrement value for "id" in the CommandTable without doing SELECT id FROM CommandCode WHERE name = CodeName
END PROCEDURE
Is there an easy way to do what I described above? If possible I want it to comply with SQL standards (e.g. no MS SQL specific code)
Thanks!

Does anyone knows how to get if a column is autoincrement or not, using the DatabaseMetaData in java, or using de JTurbo driver for it?
Is there any other way to figure this out?

I am creating a trigger in SQL Server that will activate when my Athelete table has something "Inserted"
So far it works except for the fact that it won't insert a null into the Equipment_ID field. I need it to autoincrement, or do the last number + 1...
CREATE TRIGGER TRG_NEW_EQUIPMENT1
ON ATHLETE AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Equipment Equipment_ID, Equipment_Model, Equipment_Year, Equipment_Brand, Equipment_Color, Equipment_Condition_Rating)
VALUES ('Big Spin','2016','K2','Blue','5')
END;

Hi,I'm enclosed a snippet of test code which highlights my problem. The Storedprocedure insertValue should insert text into the parent, then insert othertext into the child table but the 2 tables should auto increment in sync(i.e. so that they both end up with the same id numbers). I've tried takingthe auto increment out of the child table but then I don't know how to getthe right parent id into the child table.Any advice appreciated - this is my first database, so I'm just in thelearning process really. Code follows:CREATE TABLE Parent(id INTEGER DEFAULT AUTOINCREMENT,parenttext VARCHAR(16),PRIMARY KEY (id))!CREATE TABLE Child(childID INTEGER INTEGER DEFAULT AUTOINCREMENT,childtext VARCHAR(16),FOREIGN KEY (childid) REFERENCES Parent(id),PRIMARY KEY (childID))!CREATE PROCEDURE insertValues(in p VARCHAR(16), in c VARCHAR(16))BEGINinsert into parent (parenttext) values (p);insert into child (childtext) values (c);END!call insertValues('from parent', 'from child')!select * from parent, child where parent.id = child.childid!

Hi,
I'm currently writing a small application that is using SQL Server as a back-end database. A part of my database looks something lie the following:
Tables:
Orders(OrderId[int, PK], OrderDescription[varchar] etc...)
OrderLines(OrderId[int, PK, FK], OrderLineId[int, PK], etc...)
What I need to achieve is - everytime that a new line is inserted into an orderlines table part of the primary key will be the OrderId and the OrderLineId should be auto-incremented from 1 for each OrderId in the OrderLines table.
I know i can do this manually in my program, but i'm just wondering if theres a way to achive this in SQL Server?
Thanks,
Nick Goloborodko

Hy! I am a beginner in SQLServer and I have to design a database with a lot of tables (30-50 tables). I have to choose a primary key for every table between an autoincrement and a GUID. If I choose autoincrement after an insert statement (from the client) I will have to go back to the server to get the value of the primary key which is a waste of time. On the other hand if I choose a GUID I can create the guid from the client and send him with the other values of the new row to the server and I have not to go back to the server. I am aware of the disk space of a guid field so which is the best for me: GUID or AUTOINCREMENT? Thank you!

Hi, im trying to insert values into 2 different tables. The primary key in the first table is an auto increment field, which is then the foreign key in the 2nd table.Is there any way to retrieve the autogenerated value before performing the second insert. I have done some searching on the matter, but to no avail.I tried using LAST_INSERT_ID() but i get the error message that it is not a recognized function name. The other option is using @@identity but i cant see how to put that into my SQL statement.Can anyone help please.Thanks in advanceGareth

I'm getting reports of a strange problem with an ASP.NET application I've written. I've checked the database tables and the problem is definately a strange one, and one I've yet to pin down or even recreate.On this system, clients can type in their details through a .NET 2.0 wizard. At the end of the wizard their data is stored on the database using several linked tables. It's always worked for me and my client, but now when their clients are using it, some of the data is missing. The problem, however, is that I can't see how it can just disappear and was wondering if someone could shed some light on SQL.There are two tables that are baffling me. Their structure is like this:Table 1id - autoincrement columnnameaddressetc ...Table 2id - autoincrement columncontactDetailsetc ...The contactDetails column on table 2 is taken from the id column of table 1. When a new record is added to table 1, it obviously increments the id for the new row, then it takes this id (using scope_identity()) and writes it to the contactDetails column of table 2 when a new row is added to that table. All straightforward enough.However, for some reason, some of the new rows in table 1 are missing and yet, the contactDetails column of table 2 contains the ids of those missing rows. How is that even possible? Can there be situations where MSSQL 2000 will generate/return an id even when it has failed to write to the database?

Im still learning my way around SQL and queries and i was wondering :
How do you get a SQL Table to autoincrement a Guid? (is it "Is Identity?" or "RowGuid"....)
How would i create a new row with a new Guid, and insert into the values i want without specifying the Guid?
