I am sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question but I can not find better fit. I am using Visual Studio 2005 to write an asp.net web site which includes an SQL data base. In the databaseI have a table called 'ACCOUNTS' which has primary key column called 'ID' and a nvarchar column called 'Name'. I want the values in the 'Name' column to be unique in the table so that all accounts have unique names. I don't want to make the 'Name' column the primary key because I want people to be able to change the name of their account after it has been created. It seems to me there must be some way to add such a constraint to the table but I can find none. I have searched the documentation and seen loads of references to unique columns but I can't find any way to set a column to unique thru the IDE (or any other way). Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi(SQL Server 2000)I have an existing table (t) with a column that is NOT an identity column(t.ID), but it has manually inserted "row numbers". I want to make thiscolumn become an identity column. This column is a key field to othertables, so I want to keep the row numbers that are allready inserted.From the Query Analyzer, how do I do this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Gunnar VøyenliEDB-konsulent asNORWAY
I have a table that contains names that are all in upper case, this column is called in many different areas of my web app. I wanted to make the names all lowercase, or with the leading character only capitalized. How can I make a column within a SQL table lowercase at the SQL server end and not the programming side?
Is this the way to create one of my columns clustered. The books that I have all use stored procedure I only want to use regular sql commands. Is this possible?

Hello, I have a table (publication) that has a primary key pubID which is an identity specification. This ID already has relationships to other tables. I am having problems trying to make one of the other columns in the same table to auto generate. This column (bibNumber) is not related to any other table. All i want to do is when i create a new record in the table, auto generate a number for this column bibNumber. How can i do this? I am using sql server express 2005 Regards
I have a table with an indentity column as first column. At beginning it is continue such as 0-50. I delete last 20 columns by hand. The 0-31 is left. When the new data is inserted, I hope the new indentity column begin from 32. How to do that? Now the indentity column begin from 51 as the new data is inserted.
when we display hierarchies, we'd like the user to have the option of expanding a column for wider viewing, perhaps by dragging a border. Is this possible?

I have a table of results for various measured quantites and i need to turn this into a view. Only problem is i need to seperate the measured quantities and their respective values into seperate columns.
Currently I'm using a UDF and a physical temp table to accomplish thisand I want to know if there's any way of doing it in a query orsubquery instead...In TableA there are a bunch of rows:InvitationID (PK) PartyID Partygoer1 1 Jim2 20 Bob3 2 Frank4 1 Robert5 1 PeteIn TableB are rows:PartyID (PK) PartyDate PartyName1 1/1/2000 WildParty2 1/1/2000 BoringPartyWhen a user runs a query to search for all parties on 1/1/2000 I wantthe result to look like:PartyID PartyDate PartyName Partygoer1 1/1/2000 WildParty Jim, Robert, Pete2 1/1/2000 BoringParty FrankI'm hoping there's a solution to this.Thanks,lq
I'm making some reports that are made for getting printed. I currently have three groups of reports, each group having four charts (four A4 papers/group). To cut down on the sheer number of papers on the boards I've been asked to merge these charts so that we'll have all three groups in one chart. This works fine for three of the charts (two line charts and one column chart), where the results gets neatly organized in group order. Where I ran into problems was the last chart..
The last chart is a stacked column chart. With one group, it works quite well; the x-axis is by year/week, and for each week there's a bar where the lower part is "done" and the upper part is "failed". Now when doing this graph with multiple groups (groups as series), it doesn't put the different groups beside each other as I would've wished, instead it piles them on top of each other as if it was a 100% stacked column.
So the question is; is there some way to make a stacked column graph with multiple series that are one stacked bar per group instead of having all of them stacked on top of each other? Am I just missing some small detail here?
I created a query that got the following result. But I expect to get the structure like, care_nbr, cust_nbr,legal_name, address_type=physical address, addr_line_1, addr_line_2, address_type-primary address, ddr_line_1, addr_line_2. That means I only need primary and physical address, and expect them to show in a row to each care_nbr. How to perform that?
The reason I say this is because a subtotal of a dollar amount will take up more space than other values. Right now, I'm forced to make all columns the same larger width because it appears to be all wrapped into 1 column width setting. I can try to change the value of the subtotal column, "matrixcolumn4", but it reverts to the other value after I press enter to apply the changes.

I'm running SQL Server 2008 Feb08 CTP and I've got a tablix with column groupings and row groupings which works nicely, I'm a becomming a big fan of the tablix.
However sometimes the filter I have on a column group returns no records and the whole column group disappears. Is there any way to make this column appear with but with empty cells as I have another tablix down the page with the same columns and I want the columns to all line up on the multiple tablix.
In Version 2005 I used to achieve the equivalent of a column group within a table by adding a list with filter to the cell, this meant the column always was shown, the tablix allows does this much more elegantly but I'll have to go back to the old method if I can't make the column remain.
Hallow My code does not insert Data into Database, please can someone look on it and give a technical problem over here please It does not generate any error please, when I CLICK THE BUTTON IT DOES NOT GENERATE ERROR, IT GIVE ME THE MESSAGE THAT ITEM ADDED, BUT WHEN I LOOK MY TABLE NOTHING ID INSIDE Sub Add_To_Cart(ByVal Src As Object, ByVal Args As EventArgs) Dim FVProductID As Label = FormView1.FindControl("ProductID") Dim FVProductName As Label = FormView1.FindControl("ProductName")Dim FVProductPrice As Label = FormView1.FindControl("ProductPrice") Dim DBConnection As SqlConnection Dim DBCommand As SqlCommand Dim sql As String Dim SQLAddString As String DBConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=MANDARISQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=SHOES;Integrated Security=True") DBConnection.Open() If Not Session("OrderID") Is Nothing Then sql = "SELECT Count(*) FROM ShoppingCart " & _ "WHERE OrderID = '" & CType(Session("OrderID"), String) & "' " _ & "AND ProductID = '" & FVProductID.Text & "'" DBCommand = New SqlCommand(sql, DBConnection)

I want to take a table (SQL server) and show all it's data in a form of INSERT... (text file) so that I can show it on a web-page and just paste the INSERT text into a MyTableData.sql and then I can just run this script on the Query analyzer and fill my table with data
I need it so I can backup my DATA both in English and other languages... (a replacement for the DTS packages that gives me hard time with the LOCALE / UNICODE translation)
did anyone already made such program ? where can I find something like this ?
I've reviewed the books on line looking to see if SQL Server 2005 would now include a feature that Oracle has for years. When you declare a variable in a procedure, function, etc you can declare them as a particular table and column type. Example:
ghdep2 is the table and ssndependentid is the column. This is great because I'll never run in to a truncation issue as the variable will always be whatever the table is. This may slow things down a bit doing that sort of check but I don't care.
I just want to confirm that I can't do this in SQL 2005. All signs point to no.
I need to make a job that will update up to 8000 rows with the list description of 'berkhold' to 'berknew' in SQL 2000. This is something that I have to do with several projects manually every day by doing the following 2 steps.
SELECT ListDescription, CRRecordID FROM dbo_BerkleyGroupInventory WHERE ListDescription ="BerkHold" AND CRCallDateTime<'1/1/2003' AND CRCallResultCode ='CC' ORDER BY CRRecordID
I then scroll to the 8000th row and copy the CrrecordID and run the following query
UPDATE dbo.berkleygroupinventory SET listdescription ='berknew' WHERE ListDescription ='BerkHold' AND CRRecordID <=5968432 AND CRCallDateTime ='1/1/2003' AND CRCallResultCode='CC'
I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, but I'm very new to SQL and haven't figured it out yet
Hi, I want to know the different sources, mediums and ways using which the duplicate recoprds or adta can make an entry in our database tables. I found 4 ways for this from many articles on net that are as follows:
Duplicate data might arrive at your database via an interface to another system Data is loaded into table from other sources because during data loads, the integrity constraints are disabled Merging data from disparate systems Inheriting a poorly designed databaseBut is there any other ways also present????? Please tell me???
Hi, I want to create pckg with two data source, the pckg will know to take data from the right DS after IF will check if getdate() returned endweekday it will take from DS1 else DS2.
We have a website that accesses our SQL databases. In the past, we used our internal employees to improve our SQL databases. However, we want to outsource the work.
There is a lot of information we would like to keep private from the outsourcing.
Is there a way to efficiently make test data throughout our database without changing our original database? Is a way to easily update our database to the new changes?
I found this product through Google€¦ EMS Data Generator for SQL Server http://www.sqlmanager.net/en/products/mssql/datagenerator Would this program help us make test data?
Hi there! I'm using a Switch statement in my SQL as follows:
Code:
SELECT symbol, Switch(timestamp Is Null,Null, timestamp <= 005959, 0, timestamp<=235959,23) AS period INTO averageprice FROM stocktrades;
Now here's my problem. The Data Type stored in the 'period' field of this new table I've created, dubbed averageprice, is a Text field and I want it to be a Number field. I've tried my best to figure this out and I'm still looking so any helpful hints or solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
I am trying to understand, when would I do a vertical partition in a Dimensional Data Warehouse ? What are the things I need to consider, before I take the decision?
