Padding An Auto-incremented Int Column To Ten Zeros
May 11, 2004
Good day gentleman,
Is it possible to pad columns of Int data type with zeros?
I currently have a primary key column of data type Int which is auto-incremented by 1. My problem is I need to pad the auto-incremented ID's with ten zeros so, 0000000009 instead of 9.
I can pad the ID's in the c# dataaccess layer, but i need to generate/store them padded in the database to allow direct reporting.
I am using Enterprise Manager and i can see a Formula field when the table is in design view, can i use this? i am just guessing here.
Any comments or pointers would be a big help.

Hi Guys
Is there an easy way to pad identity column values with zeros to the left (0001, 0010,0100, etc) or I will just have to format them before displaying

Hello,
I have a column that is not auto-incremented. I would like to make it auto-incremented. For the moment, the only solution I found is to delete my column and to add a new auto-incremented column. The problem is I cannot delete it without deleting dependencies on it... So is there a solution to make an existing column auto-incremented or is it necessary to a create a new column ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

I am trying to create a field in SQL query builder that takes the input number 12345 and formats it 0000012345. In MSAccess there is a great Format() function which allowed this to be done easily, but I cant find an equivalent in SQLServer. Can anyone provide me with a new function and possibly a sample? Thanks in Advance,
Michael.

I have a table like
[A]-------------[B]
[0]-------------[0.012345]
[1]-------------[0.002345]
[0.2145]------[0.1457]
I need both columns A and B to be padded with zeros at the end upto 9th place after decimal so the output should look like:
[A]------------------------[B]
[0.000000000]-----------[0.012345000]
[1.000000000]-----------[0.002345670]
[0.214500000]-----------[0.145700000]
Note: total number of digits = 10 not including '.'decimal
I tried this but just getting 11 zeros.. it work when i want zeros in the left but not on the right
select right(REPLICATE('0', 11) + CAST([table] AS VARCHAR(11)),11)
from #table

I am trying to insert into a SQL Server table from an Oracle database. This table has an auto-incremented field, and when I try to insert into this table I get the following error:
Code Snippet
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value NULL
into column '<column_name>', table '<my_table>'; column does not allow nulls.
UPDATE fails.[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The statement has
been terminated. (SQL State: 23000; SQL Code: 515)
When I turn off all the triggers in the database, I don't get this error. But that is just a test environment, the production environment will need to have those triggers activated.
Any ideas on what is going on here?
Thanks.

Hi All,
I need to set up a kind of identity insert that gives an output in the format: 00001, 00002, 00003 etc. Is there a formatting option for this sort of output using normal identity insert features or do I need to write a function to insert these values (perhaps as text) each time a new record is created?
Sorry if this is really simple but it's only my 4th day in this job!

Hi All,
I am working on a column chart type (stacked column sub-type) report.
Our customer requires us that the space(padding) between the columns should be a constant(including the space between the Y-axis and the first column). I know how to set the width of the columns, but I really don't know how to set the width of the space between them. The columns just varies the space between them automatically according to the number of the columns (the number of the columns is not certain).
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,
I have recently been looking at a database and wondered if anyone can tell me what the advantages are supporting a unique collumn, which can essentially be seen as the primary key, with an identity seed integer primary key.
For example:
id [unique integer auto incremented primary key - not null],
ClientCode [unique index varchar - not null],
name [varchar null],
surname [varchar null]
isn't it just better to use ClientCode as the primary key straight of because when one references the above table, it can be done easier with the ClientCode since you dont have to do a lookup on the ClientCode everytime.
Regards
Mike

I have a date column (not datetime) in SQL Server and the dates are in the format yyyy-mm-dd
I need to replace the date values with zero's so it looks like 0000-00-00
I can currently get the current date in to the column like this:
UPDATE TestTable_1
set datecolumn = CONVERT(varchar(10), GETDATE(), 10)
But instead of GETDATE() I need to enter the zero's like this: 0000-00-00
How can I do this?

I need leading zero's with EmployeeNum column(source employeenum is datatype : float).
REPLICATE('0',8-LEN(RTRIM(a.[RecordID and EmpNum]))) + RTRIM(a.[RecordID and EmpNum]) AS [Employee Num]
I have done above query it's populated correctly in database table.
Ex:00010198
When ever we are excuting the package is not receiving the leading zero's to CSV file. Source it self truncating this leading zero's.
Source:OLEDB ,Destination : Flatfile(CSV)

I have a table called dbo.test. This table is built with two columns, namely; col_id and col_name.. Now, I want col_id to be auto-populated when a new col_name is added. But the col_id - should be of formulae xyyyy
where x = 2
and yyyy = will be incremental
Therefore, the first 3 records will be like ;
col_id Col_name
20001 A
20002 B
20003 C
......
......
and so on
Now, is there a way SQL can auto-populate teh col_id whenever a col_name is added?

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?

Here is my objective:
As part of auditing of our application, I want to write the values of all column in one row out to an audit table both before and after an update to see what the changes were.
I know I can SELECT * FROM tableName FOR XML AUTO to generate a single XML 'column', but I cannot figure out how to capture that output and store it.
According to MS, you cannot use FOR XML in a subselect, or fill a TEXT variable with the results of such (which, IMHO really diminishes the usefulness).
I want to stream out the results of one entire row and store that in ONE column of an audit table. XML seems like the easiest way if not for this limitation.
A better way?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have an auto incrementing int column setup which serves as my unique primary key. Just wondering what happens when the auto increment reaches the limit? Will it recycle numbers from the begining (who's rows have obviously been deleted by this stage)?

Hi,
I have the following two tables:
Code:
create table RECORD
(
ID int not null,
Issue_descr varchar(256) not null,
Priority varchar(5) not null,
Status varchar(12) not null,
Date_add varchar(10) not null,
Date_due varchar(10) not null,
Date_complete varchar(10),
PName varchar(32),
primary key(ID),
foreign key(PName) references PROJECT(PName)
);
and
Code:
create table STEPS
(
ID int not null,
Num int not null,
Descr varchar(256),
Date_due varchar(10) not null,
Date_complete varchar(10),
Status varchar(12),
primary key(ID, Num),
foreign key(ID) references RECORD(ID)
);
I have set PK "ID" in table RECORD to auto identity(1,1). I have done the same for PK "num" in table STEPS.
However I am seeking this behavior in STEPS:
ID num
-- ----
19 1
19 2
19 3
20 1
20 2
21 1
but what I'm getting is PK num doesn't "reseed" or reset to 1 as "ID" changes. PK num just auto-increments regardless of ID. Is there a workaround?
Thanks.

I'm a bit new to SQL Server, but here is the problem I am trying to getaround:1. I have lets say an Employee table where the emp_id is an identitycolumn that is auto assigned by the db.2. I wish to insert values into the tables, but sometimes I may wish touse the value of the emp_id that i supply while inserting (andsometimes not).Is there any way in MS SQL to do this? For e.g. is it setup like aconstraint that I can temporarily drop. I do not want to alter thetable, so that option is ruled out.Any other ways to do this (I know bcp is one of them that allows me todo this, but looking for ways in the db itself using SQL if possible)Thanks,Bharat

I am migrating a web application I wrote from ASP to ASP.Net, and fromAccess to MS SQL server.In the Access version, I did not use the auto number for creatinginvoices and other documents, because I heard somewhere (perhapsincorrectly) that if the db was ever compacted or otherwise changed,it could change the values of the auto-numbers. Not a good thing.So I wrote a routine that, just before creating a new record, wouldlook for the highest value in the table and create the new record withthe next number.So my question is, am I safe in assuming that in MS SQL that I can seta starting number for the next, let's say, invoice and that newnumbers will be issued in sequence, and that these numbers will neverchange? What happens if an invoice is deleted? is the number goneforever? Just wondering how others deal with these issues...thanks.Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."
