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.
fields: assassinid int, identity, primary key assassinname nvarchar assassincallsign nvarchar knifekills int sniperkills int stealthkills int fibergarotekills int
supposed i want to retreive only those records whose type of kills is on a given list, how do i do that? the list is actually dynamic since the kill types is actually coming from a checkbox on my page: [] Knife Kills [] Sniper Kills [] Stealth Kills [] Fibergarrote Kills
supposed i will only check Knife Kills, it will only retreive those records whose knifekills > 0
or if i check Snipers Kills and Stealth Kills, then those records whose sniperkills and stealthkills is > 0.
I have a feeling I'll be forced to use a script and a trigger for thistype of field format but I'm wondering if any of your wizards couldpoint at a simple way I could do something like this:For example, if I want to be able to keep track of new orders followingthis incrementing convention:ORD100000001ORD100000002ORD100000003.... etc ...Does MSSQL2000 have features that I can simply set for this kind offield or will I be resorting to writing up a SQL script and a trigger?
We are having a Windows Installer Program (32 bit) which calls the SQLDMO to get the list of installed instances in a 64 bit 2005 sql server machine. This fails as the windows installer tries opens up the 32 bit sqldmo and there is no instance of 32 bit sql server on this machine. Is there any way by which sqldmo can return all 64 bit sql server instance when called from a 32 bit Application?
I created a new table in sql server 2005. Primary key is autoincrement value of 1. But when I insert the row, it increments by 4. It goes like 1, 5, 9 etc..what could be the problem ?how can I correct it? Do I need to reseed it? Thanks!!
In SQL Server 2000, I'm looking for input as to how to set up primary keys (PKs).
Is it safe to use the IDENTITY feature using AUTOINCREMENT as a setting for a PK, or is it best to generate my own and check for dups?
My concern is whether SQL Server at any point will taint the numbers used as the PK -- because as you know, these PKs are going to wind up linking into (relating into) other tables (e.g. client orders).
Certainly it's vital that the clientID not get lost/changed during any regular DB maintenance or use.
SQL question here: I am setting up a blog, and I would like the data list to default to the most recent post ONLY. How would I define the filter to get the most recent post? I have a publishing date in my table, and I can sort the post, but I have no clue how to select just one row to display.
I can get it to work by adding a dropdown list the is bound to the publishing date column, then retreving the post based on the control, but I don't want to use the control. (Making the control not visible is not an option.
I have an app that needs to retrieve the list of tables in an SQL database. I see that there is a way to do this with the OLEdb provider (GetOleDbSchemaTable() ), but I can't find a sibling method in SQL. IS there one/ Any Ideas?
I am storing images within and image field in sql, however when I go to get the data I have two issues.
the first issue is that my image is linked to information on another table but the only way that i have seen getting the image back is to do a:
response.binarywrite(mydatareader.item("image"))
but i am hoping to be able to find a way to use the template functionality with datagrid to align the picture with the information on the table. i am storing the image type and size with the image as well.
the second problem might be related to the load, i am not sure. sometimes, for some images and it just shows the frame of the image with the red x in the middle. The load appears to work (no errors) but since we cannot view them properly we dont know.
Our application wants to store all data in sql so that we can secure it and relate it to projects. in addition, we hope to be able to use this function to upload all sorts of binary documents from jpg, gif, doc, xls, visio, and others as we can. any issues with that process???
we would like to be able to display them directly in the browser where we can but all users have standard office.
any suggestions on either and hopefully both of these situations? we have sort of hit a brick wall.
hi. I am at a new stage in our project and need to figure out how to insert/retreive MP3/Wav files. The way we want to do this is have the file stored on the harddrive while a link to its location is stored in the database.
I have posted this search in other newsgroups and have gotten a lot of philosophical responses, but what i really am looking for is code examples. Please, what i would like to see is "how" this id done in code. If you have done this on your site, i'd really appreciate your posting code here or emailing me examples. Or, if you know of a really good explainaition of how to go about storing/retreiving audio files in the way i mentioned using MS SQL Sever 2000, I'd be equally indebted.
I hope I have explained myself clearly. Thank you for your assistance!
Last week I discovered a server runing a sql database for a vendor application. Last year sometime one of our former employees created a dts to populate some data in peoplesoft from this database. But, over this last weekend, the vendor came in and uninstalled and reinstalled sql server and only restored their specific database. All I have is backups of msdb and master and I'm not sure how to restore our dts package. Any clues would be appreciated.
Hi all I have the following table schema and their details as follows:
Code Block CREATE TABLE #Tbl_Project ( ID varchar(40), Name varchar(50) ) GO CREATE TABLE #Tbl_User_Project ( ID int, ProjectID varchar(40), Role varchar(20) ) GO INSERT INTO #Tbl_Project VALUES('PRJ1','Project 1') INSERT INTO #Tbl_Project VALUES('PRJ2','Project 2') INSERT INTO #Tbl_Project VALUES('PRJ3','Project 3') GO INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(1,'PRJ1','PM') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(2,'PRJ1','TL') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(3,'PRJ1','TM') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(4,'PRJ2','PM') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(5,'PRJ2','TL') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(6,'PRJ3','PM') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(7,'PRJ3','TL') INSERT INTO #Tbl_User_Project VALUES(8,'PRJ3','TL') GO --Required Output --ProjectID ProjectName PM:TL:TM Ratio HeadCount --PRJ1 Project 1 1:1:1 3 --PRJ2 Project 2 1:0:1 2 --PRJ3 Project 3 1:0:2 3 DROP TABLE #Tbl_Project,#Tbl_User_Project
This is just sample of the values. The ratio obtained should be as follows: Assuming for a Project 1 there are 2 - PM's , 6-TL's , 15 - TM's then the ratio should be 1:3:7.5 . So please help me in this regard.
I have a serious problem struggling with sql query the problem is i have a table below
Sno CarId carcharacterstics Charactersticvalue
1. Mercides01 Color Red 2. Mercides01 EngineType Desile 3. Mercides01 Speed/Hr 350KM 4. Maruthi01 Color Red 5. Maruthi01 EngineType Desile 6. Maruthi01 Speed/Hr 250KM 7. BMW Gears Automatic 8. BMW EngineType Desile 9. BMW Speed/Hr 250KM
Now i need to retrieve the carid whose color is red and Engine type is desile the query i have written is
select carid from carchar where ((characterstics='Color' and charactersticvalue=Red) and (characterstics='EngineType' and charactersticvalue=Desile))
But I am not able to retrieve the values. I can retrieve the values correctly if i mention only one characterstics and its value but i cant retrieve if i mention more than that
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to restore a full database backup from October 1, 2005 and then over 4400 transaction logs to bring a database up to Jan 01, 2006 on a development server (storage team lost all daily full backups from 10/02/2005 to 01/01/2006). Since the backups were not taken on this machine originally, the information I would pull from the sysjobhistory tables to get the transaction backup names is not available. Does anyone have a link or a script to pull the filenames from the backup directory into sql server so I can build a dynamic script to apply the tran logs instead of running all 4400+ of them by hand? Thanks, Tom
I'm trying to figure out how to retreive connection strings from the machine.config instead of storing the conn strings in a *.dtsconfig file. The reason that I'm trying to use the machine.config is for the simple reason that I'll be able to manage all of the conn strings in one location on each server. (Instead of mutliple dtsconfig files.) Is it posible to utilize the machine.config in SSIS? If so, could someone explain how, or better yet, have an example?

Could someone tell me how to get the data from all tables of the database in the form of insert script? We are moving our databse from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005. The scripts for the Database, Tables, Views , Procedures, Functions have been obtained and it is only the data that is remaining. Some are small tables with 5 to 6 columns but there are some with 50 odd columns. A friend of mine told me about a procedure that returns a dataset with INSERT statements by passing a table name as a parameter. Such procedure would be of great help.
I am having one querry regarding the same line. In my stored procedure i am fetching the data from one table containing upto 5 to 6 million rows I made use of index in my database but then also I cant optimise my execution time of that sp. Please help me out of this problem.

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.
Hi all, i am deleting rows of a table and reinserting new ones. This table has an auto increment primary key. what is the function used to set it to zero each time i delete the rows in order to rebegin counting from 1 when i refill the table. Thanks in advance...
looking for necessary syntax to alter table id to autoincrement adding identity statement, not sure on syntax for seed an increment, or if it is possible at all.
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?
