SQL 2012 :: Auto ID Primary Key Specified As Int And Table Data Is Deleted Periodically?
Jun 25, 2015
I have a table that has a primary key that is auto incremented by 1. This table's data is cleared out periodically and as data gets added the auto id primary key continues to increase in numeric value. Once the data is cleared from the table the auto id names could be used again(the eventId is not stored) Currently the eventID is at 26,581,399. I know the maximum int value is 2,147,483,647.
How should I handle this? or rebuild the table every time the data is cleared(problematically)?
When I have a record that I copy and paste (Access 2010 datasheet view) into a new record with one column having a unique constraint , I display message "Cannot insert duplicate code" then if not all values in the record are inserted , I get a #deleted in all columns Refreshing , I find that the id is incremented by 2 instead of one.
That is if the previous record has ID 20 , the #deleted record has ID 22 .
avoid the #deleted which happens if not all columns are filled.
This calls the Sp that does the Reindex. It fails at the update statistics with a very generic message. like " Command: UPDATE STATISTICS [xxxx_DB].[dbo].[xxxx_xxx] [_WA_Sys_00000007_49C3F6B7] [SQ... The step failed."
I suspect it has more error but this is all it is showing me when I right click on the job history. therefore, I updated the job step in the advance tab with log to a txt file. Am I on the right track or there is another way to see error some where else.
I looked at the logs but they didn't show any thing.
Is there any option to get the velue of auto increment number before inserting record.
My problem is that I want to get the auto increment number, for this I am using MaxId function, but If i have deleted the some rows from table, I could not get the actual.
For example there are 20record s in the table I have delete the last 3 records now I have the last value of Identity is 17. When I used the Maxid function It gives me the 18 number. But I need 21.
Since upgrading from SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2, I've noticed that it no longer autosaves queries that have not been manually saved first. If a file has been manually saved the autorecover files end up in the following directory:
%appdata%MicrosoftSQL Server Management Studio11.0AutoRecoverDatSolution1
However, I have ended up in the situation where I have unsaved queries when my computer has crashed and have not been able to recover them.
I have also found references to .sql files stored in temp files in the following directory, but the files here seem to be very haphazardly caught:
I need to auto increment an alphanumeric field in a table.
The process is as follows:
1. First position is static letter C for contact or static letter A for account - field contact_id 2. The following 6 positions are numeric - example of the string would be C004658 3. When new contact is entered, it should look up the highest numeric value (in this case 004658) and increment it by one - resulting in C004659
Hi everyone, here is my situation and what I am hoping to accomplish. I want some data from my msSQL to be seen on my website but I do not want a website to access the msSQL database due to performance etc (the database is not intended for website use). Innitially I was thinking of exporting the data every 24hours to a text file that the website would access, but now I am thinking it would be better to have some data sent to a mySQL database that I have from my webhost.
I am not really sure what the best way to do this is, any help please? thank a lot
Knifflige Frage zu Datenbanken:Es gibt Tabellen, die mehr als ein PK-Feld haben; also z.B.MAID und GMID.Soweit ok.Nehmen wir an, aus dieser Tabelle sollen keine Datensätze physikalischgelöscht werden, sondern der Löschstatus durch ein Datenfeld GELOESCHTangegeben werden. Hat das Feld den Wert 0, dann ist der Datensatz nichtgelöscht; ansonsten steht der Zeitpunkt (Tag und Uhrzeit) der Löschung drin.Dann funktioniert der PK nicht mehr, denn es können ja durchaus mehrereDatensätze mit gleicher MAID und GMID vorhanden sein. Aufnehmen vonGELOESCHT in den PK geht theoretisch, ist aber gefährlich (daFließkommafeld, und wer weiß schon, ob 0 immer gleich 0 ist...).Hat jemand eine Idee?SWE@KP
I am migrating data. I found a strange thing in the existing table, there is a column named workshopCaseID in a TruancyCase table ,The datatype for workshopCaseID is an int (null). it is a FK, there are some records are 0 values, but the fk referenced primary table only have 1-8 values, how are the 0 values get inserted there?
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.
In a special request run, I need to update locker and lock tables in a sql server 2012 database, I have the following 2 table definitiions:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Locker]( [lockerID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [schoolID] [int] NOT NULL, [number] [varchar](10) NOT NULL, [lockID] [int] NULL CONSTRAINT [PK_Locker] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
[code]....
The locker table is the main table and the lock table is the secondary table. I need to add 500 new locker numbers that the user has given to me to place in the locker table and is uniquely defined by LockerID. I also need to add 500 new rows to the corresponding lock table that is uniquely defined in the lock table and identified by the lockid.
Since lockid is a key value in the lock table and is uniquely defined in the locker table, I would like to know how to update the lock table with the 500 new rows. I would then like to take value of lockid (from lock table for the 500 new rows that were created) and uniquely place those 500 lockids uniquely into the 500 rows that were created for the lock table.
I have sql that looks like the following so far:
declare @SchoolID int = 999 insert into test.dbo.Locker ( [schoolID], [number]) select distinct LKR.schoolID, A.lockerNumber FROM [InputTable] A JOIN test.dbo.School SCH ON A.schoolnumber = SCH.type and A.schoolnumber = @SchoolNumber JOIN test.dbo.Locker LKR ON SCH.schoolID = LKR.schoolID AND A.lockerNumber not in (select number from test.dbo.Locker where schoolID = @SchoolID) order by LKR.schoolID, A.lockerNumber
I am not certain how to complete the rest of the task of placing lockerid uniquely into lock and locker tables?

I've got log shipping set up, and everything seems to be working fine, but the log files are not being deleted from the primary server despite configuring log shipping to retain them for 3 days. Â I see no errors concerning the log shipping, but did not configure a monitor. What process is responsible for deleting the older log backups, and how can I look for errors. Â I could simply set up a jog to delete the older files, but that will only mask the issue.
I have a table (named table1) with 20million rows. It takes around 11 minutes to apply the primary key to this table. There are some tables with over 100 million rows so based on the previous time if my calculations are correct it will take close to an hour apply this primary key for tables with around 100 million rows.
My current solution is to create another table (named table2) with no indexs or primary keys. Pump over only like 5 days worth of data, then apply the primary key. Then have a script that will eventually populate table2 with the rest of the data gradually. When I say gradually I mean like insert like every 100k per hour or something. Keep in mind this table2 is heavily updated with new records.
Is there anyway to get the order in which data to be import on to tables when they have primary and Foreign Key relations?
For ex:We have around 170 tables and when tries to insert data it will throw error stating table25 data should be inserted first when we insert data in table 25 it say 70 like that.
How do I make a Primary Key in a table automatically increment as a new row of data is entered? do i have to do it with a trigger?? if so what is the code behind it....what I have is a Applicant table, which holds the ApplicantID (<<<needs auto incremented), FirstName, LastName, Address, City, State, Zip, and PhoneNumber. I enter all the other information through visual web developer, and what I need to do when the hit submit on the form with the data i want to automatically set an id right there. any suggestions will help!
Hi all,I have a table where I have my ProdPK set up as Primary key, turned on "Is Identity" and set the Identity increment to 1. But each time I add a new item, the number incremented by 2... I have couple of other tables and they are all fine, just this particular table increased twice as it should. I check the setting against other tables and everything seems to be the same. By the way, this is adding the data to the table inside MS SQL Server Management Studio manually. I haven't done anything in the ASP.NET page yet. Thank you very much,Kenny.
Dear all, I am using SQL express 2005 in visual studio 2008. I would like to use Form View to insert new record in the table. There is a column call "id". I think it is too stupid to let user enter a unique identifier instead of generating by the system. I know how to generate a random integer number in a normal TextBox. However, when I edit the InsertItemTemplate, I cannot modified the value of that textbox. For example, i couldn't use "TextBox1.Text = temp;" here. How can I achieve to change this TextBox's value by the system that I would like to generate a random interger. Thanks a lot. Regards, Eric Chan
I can't for the life of me find out how to auto increment the primary key like you can in access. I want to use userIds that will auto increment as new users are added. Can you guys help me out at all?
As of now I used this code as an example. I'm using SQL server 2005
I want a table to have an int auto primary key, that will fill in deleted rows. EG 1 2 4 5 8
The next primary key should be 3 (NOT 9)
This table changes often, so just adding 1 to the last number used, will fast run out of numbers. The table is accessed by many users, so it can not be manually generated.
I was just wondering on a very simple database table with lets say a primary key set to columb ID and another columb lets say products, can you make the primary key automaticly increment its self whenever a new entry has been put in?For instance say I have this table set up with ID Being the primary KEY, Columb 1 = ID( INT ), Columb 2 = Products ( VarChar(50) ), and have the fields ID = 1, and products = my product.....and if a user inserts a new record say from a gridview or some sort of data entry the second ID Feild will automaticly be 2 and the products gets updated per user input.......I'm very sorry but I'm having a hard time putting this into words for some reason..umm basicly user adds something into the products feild and the ID field automaticly increments one number higher from the last one?ThanksAdam.
Ok - I have two tables that are relational. I have been inserted data into the tables because of testing. I also have been deleting data. My question is how do I reset the auto-incremented Primary key values. For example: Primary key of table one is bizID. Well there are only 3 record currently in the table. The bizIDs are 1-3. If I insert another record the bizID will be 88 because that was the next auto-incremented number. I obviously deleted the other records. I want to start the primary key value over from zero. How do I accomplish this? thnks
How to auto increment an alphanumeric Primary Key in SQL? :( Because I want to add something like this in the Primary Key, for example i'll add a new data with an alphanumeric value of ABC-0001, then I'll add another 1, and it auto increments to ABC-0002 and so on.. How can I do it? And if I'll add a new alpha character in the Primary Key field, for example DEF-0001, then I'll add another and it auto increments to 002, and so on, and it will go back to 0001 if i'll use another combination of alpha characters. for example, i'll add a new alpha character AAA, will it go back to 0001 or it will continue? T___T I hope u get my point.. I want my table to look like this if i have added the dataABC-0001ABC-0002DEF-0001DEF-0002AAA-0001then if il add a new 1, for example ABCit will auto increment to 0003 in the same field, it will look like this after addingABC-0001ABC-0002ABC-0003DEF-0001DEF-0002AAA-0001Will it be possible? :(
