Padding Identity Column Values With Zeros
Aug 5, 2006Hi 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

Padding An Auto-incremented Int Column To Ten Zeros
May 11, 2004Good 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.
Padding Values In A Column
Dec 6, 2001Hi all-
I'm inserting 4-digit codes into my db table where the column is a smallint type. Some of these codes begin with 0's, like "0003". How can I format the val in this column to always have the extra 0's in front?
Thanks!
Padding Fields With Zeros.
Oct 4, 2006I 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.
SQL Server 2012 :: Padding Zeros After Decimal
Jan 29, 2014I 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)

How Can I Set Constant Padding Between The Columns Of The Column Chart(stacked Column Sub-type)?
Aug 2, 2006Hi 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!

SQL Server 2012 :: Delete / Recreate Identity Column / Fetch Newly Created Values In Update Statement?
Jul 25, 2015I have a four tables called plandescription, plandetail and analysisdetail. The table plandescription has the columns DetailQuestionID which is the primary and identity column and a QuestionDescription column.
The table plandetail consists of the column PlanDetailID which the primary and identity column, DetailQuestionID which is the foreign key attribute of plandescription table and a planID column.
The third table analysisdetail consists of a analysisID which the primary and identity column, PlanDetailID which is the foreign key attribute of plandetail table and a scenario.
Below is the schema of the three tables
I have a two web form that will insert, update and delete data into these three tables in a two transaction. One web form will perform CRUD operations in plandescription and plandetail table. When the user inserts QuestionDescription and planid in this web form, I will insert the QuestionDescription Value in the plandescription table and will generate a DetailQuestionID value and this value is fed to the plandetail table with the planid. Here I will generate a PlanDetailID.
Once this transaction is done, I will show the second web form in which the user enters the scenario and this will be mapped with the plandescription using the PlanDetailID.
This schema cannot be changes as this is the client requirement. When I insert values I don’t have any problem. However when I update existing data, I need to delete existing PlanDetailID in the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID data for that DetailQuestionID and planID. This is because, the user will be adding or deleting a planID associated with the QuestionDescription.
Once I recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID and planID, I need to update the old PlanDetailID with the new PlanDetailID in the third table analysisdetail for the associated analysisID.
I created a #Temp table called #DetailTable to insert the values analysisID, planid and old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID so that I can have them in update statement once I delete the data from plandetail table for that PlanDetailID.
Then I deleted the plandetailid from the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID. During my recreation I fetched the new PlanDetailID’s created into another temp table called #InsertedRows
After this I am running a while loop to update the temp table #DetailTable with the newly created PlanDetailID for the appropriate planID’s. The problem is here. When I have the same number of planID’s for example 2 planID’s 1,2 I will have only two old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID for that planID and analysisID.But When I add a new PlanID or remove a existing planID I am getting null value for that newly added or deleted planID. This is affecting my update statement of analysisdetail table as PlanDetailID cannot be null.
I tried to remove the Null value from the #DetailTable by running the update statement of analysis detail in a while loop however its not working.
DECLARE @categoryid INT = 8
DECLARE @DetailQuestionID INT = 1380
/*------- I need the query to run for the below three data.
Here i'm updating my planids that already exists in my database*/
DECLARE @planids VARCHAR(MAX) = '2,4,5'

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow To Use Identity On Non-identity Column (with Concurrence)
Aug 1, 2014I'm working with a third-party database (SQL Server 2005) and the problem here is the following:
- There are a bunch of ETL processes that needs to insert rows on a table (let's call this table T) and at the same time, an ERP (owner of T) is up and running (reading, updating and inserting on T).
- The PK of T is an Integer.
Today all ETL processes uses (select max(ID) + 1 from T) to insert new rows, so just picture the scenario. It is a mess! Everyday they get duplicate key error when 2 or more concurrent processes are trying to insert a row (with the max) at the same time.
Considering that I can't change the PK, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
To sum up:
* I need to have processes in parallel inserting on T
* I can't change anything on T
* The PK is NOT an Identity
How To Refer A Column When The Referencing Column Is An Identity Column
Oct 16, 2006Hi all,
The requirement is to have a table say 'child_table', with an Identity column to refer another column from a table say 'Parent_table'..
i cannot implement this constraint, it throws the error when i execute the below Alter query,
ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id)
REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
the error thrown is :
Failed to execute alter table query: 'ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT
fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id) REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE
CASCADE '. Message: java.sql.SQLException: Cascading foreign key 'fk_1_ct' cannot be
created where the referencing column 'child_table.child_id' is an identity column.
any workarounds for this ?

View 5 Replies View RelatedResetting Identity Values Of PKs
Sep 21, 2000What is the easiest way in T-SQL to reset the identity values of
the PK columns in a DB. Here's the scenario.
I'm going to be backing up a HUGE DB and then restoring
it to a new server. Once there I will run an SP to remove all the existing
data. The tables are now row-free. However my customer doesn't like that
the first record they add gets PK value of 5,321, or whatever.
After I remove all the data how can I reset the ids?
It would be nice to add some code to my sp_cleardb
that would go back and reset the identity columns
FYI
All of my tables use auto-incrementing identity fields with a seed of 1
1) I know how to do it in enterprise manager, but I need it in scripting
since I'll have to do it on hundreds of tables
2) I tried using alter table to drop the PK constraint, but that requires
knowing the pk constraint name, which is SQL generated and I won't know.
I think I got very close, but the code was just getting too big. I thought,
there must be an easier function to use, or a built in SP, or something?
Anyone know how to script this?
THanks in advance.

Getting Duplicate Identity Values In SQL 6.5
Aug 26, 1998We are experiencing a problem at more than one site - it has only
just started happening.
We are actually getting duplicate Identity column values in various
tables and the values seem random - its not like the counter just gets
wound back.
We have used dbcc checkident and also bcp out and in the data, which
of course corrected the tables but only temporarily. Our application
is not doing any select into`s - just plain old inserts which for some
reason are allowing dups to be inserted into the tables.
problem sites are either sp3 or sp4.
There are thousands of sites (including most of ours) where there are
no problems like this with this particular app.
Any help from anyone would be most appreciated.

IDENTITY Creation Using Two Values
Mar 28, 2008Going from Oracle to SQL 2000 and want to repeat Oracle process whereby the job_id field is generated using a trigger and a sequence one-up generator. These two values are then combined to create the job_id number. The sequence is simple: a minvalue, maxvalue and increment 1. The trigger is generating the first five characters from yyddd and appending the next sequence value to it.
Example:
JOB_ID: 08088155
YY: (Year = 08)
DDD: (88th day of year)
Next sequence number: (155)
When I create the table in SQL 2000 I will identify the JOB_ID column as an IDENTITY type data field, but is there any way to duplicate this Oracle sequence in SQL?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
