I'm using sql server 2005, I created a customer table and set the customer_id as an uniqueidentifier that is a NEWSEQUENTIALID()...when a user is created I want to obtain the last customer_id so that I can insert it in another table that has a one to many relationship with the customer table. Please help...how do i do this?.
Thanx
Hi All I am using SQL Server 2005 and creating a insert SP now. How could I return the newsequentialID() after the record inserted successfully? Regards Alex
I've been thinking about using GUIDs as primary keys within my application. One problem I have with this approach is that GUIDs generated with NEWID() are not sequential, and this can have a huge impact on insertion performance due to fragmented indexes. It would seem that NEWSEQUENTIALID() solves this issue, however it doesn't seem very practical to use this on SQL Server Mobile. With SQL Server, you can specify an OUTPUT clause for an INSERT statement, and using this, determine what the last inserted GUID was. There doesn't seem to be such an option in SQL Server Mobile, so how can I get the last generated GUID so that I can attach children records to my parent record? It's been suggested that you could use the MAX() function to get the latest GUID, but there is a problem with this approach - NEWSEQUENTIALID() guarantees that the GUIDs generated will be sequential for the machine generating them, but makes no guarantees about how this will fit in with GUIDs generated by other machines. It is entirely possible that GUIDs generated by a different machine will be larger than the latest one generated on the current machine, so using MAX() to determine the latest value doesn't seem like a valid option to me.
Does anybody have any ideas on tackling this problem? Any thoughts on the suitability of using GUIDs as the primary key for SQL Server Mobile devices in general?
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60 (X64) Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
we are using the default of newsequentialID() as the key on some tables and getting the error Error validating the default for column xxx
When first saving the table if the value is entered as newsequentialid() the save works but on any subsequent design change I get the error.
If you click Yes to continue it works fine.
The value that is in there once its saved shows up as (newsequentialid()) if you change it back to not have the outer parenthesis it saves without issue.
I'm working on a search engine right now, and I am querying out a set amount of information at one time. How can I grab the last row count of a query, and use that as a starting point, or index when a "Next 100" is pressed. For instance, a person searches through a user table, but only wants 25 users at a time. So the beginning index is 0 to 25. In my query, I have "SELECT TOP 25 from users", but now when the person searching want's to move to the next 25 users, so the index would be 26 to 50, how can I hold the last row displayed? It gets a little more complex also, if a user is searching by last name, the rows will be staggered. Is there a SQL function which will grab the number of the last row displayed? I've looked through the SQL Book, and was unable to find a function that does this, or anything close to it. I hope I made sense of this question, if you need more information, email me and I will try to clarify. Thank you for any information or hints.
If I have say 20 records of sales employees, for example, how can I get the top 3 locations for $$$sales for EACH employee? Each employee can have multiple locations where they have sold(let's say up to 50). I only want the names of the top 3 locations. The closest I can get is filtering the dataset by a HAVING clause > a dollar amount but this still gives me between 3 - 12 records for each plus I have to literally enter each salesperson's number as it stands now. Is this a loop or a cursor? Thanks.
i need to run a restore of a database overnight onto a different server using the live data .bak file. however the job failed on the first run (last night) with the error:

how do i gain this Exclusive use via an SQL statement please?
I have a new computer, clean, I installed WinXP, and I want to connect a SQL Server (other computer in the same network) For this I installed the client tools from SQL SERVER 2000 kit. Ok. When I try to connect to the server, I can't connect through "trusted connection", only whit user name and password. I mention that I set the sql server in mixed mode autentification.
When I try to connect from other computer (my laptop, or other computer from this network) I can connect both types of connection: trusted and with
sa (for example)
The question is:
How I can set up a "trusted connection" at SQL Server?
The computer is completely new, clean and has win xp with sp2.

i need to programmatically obtain and the process constraintinformation. the problem with the output from sp_helpconstraint isthat it outputs two resultsets. (the 2nd resultset is exactly what ineed though)as far as i know i can't stick this output into a temp table to thenprocess with cursors or anything like that. i'm trying to directlyaccess all kinds of sytem tables but not getting the complete info thatthe 2nd resultset that sp_helpconstraints offers.(E.g. sp_helpindex is more useful as it outputs only one resultset ofinformation so i could programmatically use that output to do what ineed to do)any suggestions? thanks.
i need to programmatically obtain and process constraint keyinformation. the problem with the output from sp_helpconstraint isthat it outputs 2, and sometimes 3 resultsets. (the 2ndresultset/constraint_keys is exactly what i need however)because the resultsets vary in output format, i cannot programmaticallyuse the output to process in my DB proc. its essentially useless tome. i can only suppress the 1st resultset (with tablename info), andcannot suppress the occasional 3rd resultset (that has referencingforeign key info).i've tried to directly access all kinds of sytem tables but i'm notgetting the complete info that the 2nd resultset thatsp_helpconstraints offers.any suggestions? thanks.

I know the default data path on a SQL7 server is defined in theregistry key SQLDataPath. I want to be able to determine the defaultdata path in a VB.NET application on the local machine and remotemachines. Is using the Registry Class the best way to do that or isthere a SQL command that can tell me? I have read about xp_regread butI can't find it documented anywhere and I do not know what parameterlist it is expecting. I thought this path may be in an InformationSchema view, but I can't find it.Thanks for any help.
I have created a linked server that connects to "mpp" file, and it connects and opens successfuly returning a list of tables that exists in the linked server to the mpp file.
But the problem i am facing now that whne i write a select statment to get data from the tables in this linked server
select * from linktompp.testmpp.dbo.tasks
such that linktompp is the linked server name
testmpp is the catalog name
tasks is the table name i need to select data from
it shows an error that says

I see others having this problem when trying to run a query across a link from 2005 to a 2000 server. But we are already running SP4 on our 2000 server. What gives?

We recently bought a new (sql) database server with 8 gb ram. I started moving the databases from our older 2005-sql to the new one. Everything goes well, except...
Some steps in our jobs do a truncate table of a delete from... When the job is running and it reaches the step where the truncation/deleting starts, it stops its execution and gives the following error :
Code Snippet
The instance of the SQL Server Database Engine cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users. Ask the database administrator to check the lock and memory configuration for this instance, or to check for long-running transactions. [SQLSTATE HY000] (Error 1204). The step failed.
When I try to execute the procedure that does the truncation manually, it works perfect. Do you guys have an idea on what the cause of this error might be ?
Thanks a lot in advance !
