This EXECUTES with no error or warning message.However, if I change this to CREATE the PK in an ALTER TABLE statement, I get the (expected by me) error:
==> Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 17 Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table '#ABC'.
==> Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 17 Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
(note: As the #ABC table is an actual copy of a few of the columns in a "permanent" table, I will likely change the definition as follows such that the columns are defined to match the names / datatypes / NULLability:
SELECT TOP 0
CAST('01-01-1980' AS DATETIME) AS [ReportRunTime]
,SourceID
,VisitID
,BaseID
,OccurrenceSeqID
Right now I am writing to a sql table during a process where the end user starts entering the contents for a file that is going to be generated once he finishes entering the data, but the problem is that if more than one user is doing the same process the data would get mixed up. To avoid this I thought in creating a temporary table (its name will consist of a string and the current date time).
I would like to see any tutorial about creating and working with temp tables. Or if you have any suggestions, I will appreciate them. Thanks
I want to create and drop the global temporary table in same statement.
I am using below command but I am getting below error

There is already an object named '##Staging_Temp' in the database.

* SQL Server 2008 R2 * Database was created from a third party product. The product writes to the 3 tables that I need to make changes to 24/7 and downtime is not an option. All changes must be done live. * Database overall size is ~200 GB * The 3 tables I must update make up ~190 GB of that space. * Tables have no primary key or ID columns. Therefore, the data is highly fragmented. * Of the ~190 GB of space allocated for the tables, there is roughly 70 GB of actual data. * Rows of the table are not guaranteed to be unique. In fact, on one of the tables, tests were ran with a small sample of data and duplicates were very much evident.
What I'm trying to accomplish here is to get an ID column added to the 3 tables and set that ID field as the primary key. Doing so will force the data to become much less fragmented than it is currently and with purging and new inserts, eventually fragmentation will be nearly non-existent.
Problem: Making table changes on tables this large while data is constantly being added poses many risks and can cause data loss. This was tried on a smaller table than these three and the entire table was lost in the process. Restore from backup was needed to get back to most recent log backup point.
Original Solution: My original plan was to create a backup of each table and run the script below to migrate the majority of the data temporarily into the new table. I could then update the original table (which now would contain much less data) and then migrate the data back.
Original Solution Problem: The problem with the solution above is that it calls the DELETE function on the original table using the values from the temporary table. When there are duplicate rows, which have not all been inserted into the backup table yet, they will all be removed from the original table because there is nothing unique to separate them out. In my testing, I had 10,000 rows in the original table and ended up with 9,959 rows in the backup table.
Question 1: Is my approach to making these table changes reasonable? Question 2a: If so, how can I make sure I don't lose data as part of this temporary migration of the data to my backup tables? Question 2b: If not, what would be a better approach that isn't going to cause disruption to the application that INSERTs data 24/7 and won't have any risk of data loss?

Using SQL against a DB2 table the 'with' key word is used todynamically create a temporary table with an SQL statement that isretained for the duration of that SQL statement.What is the equivalent to the SQL 'with' using TSQL? If there is notone, what is the TSQL solution to creating a temporary table that isassociated with an SQL statement? Examples would be appreciated.Thank you!!
i have created index for a temporary table and this script should used by multiusers.So when second user connecting to it is giving index i mean object already exists.
So what i need is when the second user connected the script should create one more index on temporary table.Will sql server provide any random way of creating indexes if the index exists already with that name??
Or can it record before and after column changes based on the LSN only?
An extract from a file based legacy accounting system is performed every night. The system does not have a primary key because transactions are managed through program code. (the more things change...). The extract is copied to text in Unix and FTP'd to Windows, where the file is loaded into SQL Server by kill & fill. Because of the expense of modifying the source system, there is enormous inertia/resistance to injecting a primary key at the source, so kill & fill it stays.
In reading about Change Data Capture, it seemed to me that column level insert update and delete are stored in tables that remember the before and after content of each column tracked. In my reading I have seen many references to the LSN to decide when and what to record as changed, but I have not seen any refereference to the necessity of a primary key for Change Data Capture to work. This is in contrast to replication, where the requirement for the existence of a primary key is made plain.
Is it possible to use Change Data Capture against a table without a primary key? How to use it to change the extract from kill and fill to incremental.
Banti writes "IF i create temporary table by using #table and ##table then what is the difference. i found no difference. pls reply. first: create table ##temp ( name varchar(25), roll int ) insert into ##temp values('banti',1) select * from ##temp second: create table #temp ( name varchar(25), roll int ) insert into #temp values('banti',1) select * from #temp

I need to create a new table in our database. This table is not linked into the existing schema in anyway, so i'm not sure if I need a primary key or not. either way, coudl anyone tell me how to create a primary key ni the CREATE TABLE statement. I have tried searching but cannot find the answer.
I am building a DTS Package that is moving data from our webstore (written in house) to a Warehouse Management System(WMS - Turnkey) and I've encountered a problem. both pieces of software have an orders table and an Ordered_Items table, related by the order_ID (makes sense so far). Here is the problem. The primary key on the webstore's Ordered_Items table is a single column (basically an Identity variable), while the primary key on the WMS's Ordered_Items table is a dual column primary key, between the Order_ID and the Order_LineID, so the data should be stored like:
OrderID Order_LineID 1 1 2 1 2 2 2 3 3 1 3 2 4 1
Get the Idea? So I have to create this new Order_LineID column. How can I accomplish this with a SQL statement?
This is a fairly simple question, but what is the easiest way to:create a new numbered column (where value is simply the row number) inan existing table and setting it as a primary key?
I am trying to execute following sql script in sql-server 2000 query analyzer
CREATE TABLE user_courses (user_id varchar(30) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, course_id varchar(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY)
Its give's me following error :- Cannot specify multiple primary key constraint
Hence I am not able to ceate table with multiple primary keys. So can any one tell me how to get this done?.
Secondly, Primary key must be unique i.e duplicate values are not allowed in P.K field. But in this case since I am declaring two fileds as primary keys. Will it allow me to have following records in the user_courses table? user_id(P.K) course_id(P.K) bob CRS235 alice CRS235 Tim CRS235 tom CRS635
So, if we consider both the fields as primary keys together than I am not voilating Uniqueness constraint. But, if I look at course_id alone then I am voilating uniqeness property?
We have a table, which has one clustered index and one non clustered index(primary key). I want to drop the existing clustered index and make the primary key as clustered. Is there any easy way to do that. Will Drop_Existing support on this matter?
I have tables in database where a VARCHAR(50) string is unique identifier. The database currently has an integer identity column as clustered primary key, and there's a non-clustered index on string column. The customer always queries based on a defined set of the identifier (string) column.
I wonder if someone sees an advantage of adding a persisted computed column to the table as the checksum of the string column, and then create a non-clustered index on the checksum and the string. When a customer requests data, we would compute the checksum of the customer provided identifier and add to the where clause or join, that the checksum and string must match.
Will SQL Server perform checksum check (integer) and only if it succeeds, perform the string check, in which case I see an advantage of added the checksum column? Or will SQL Server always check for both the checksum and string, in which case the additional column only adds unnecessary overhead? To note is the fact that the table(s) will have millions of rows, but the customer will request data for at at most, 100 or so identifiers.
I have a varchar column in a table, which is an unique key column. Now when I design this table should I use this column as a primary key or should I add one more Integer column as a primary key column for the performance?
One more point is, when ever I do a search on this table I will search based on that unique varchar column values only, so even then if I add new integer column just for Primary key I will not use this column for searching values.
With these information, can some body help me in deciding this?
I currently have a website which is using ASP.NET 2.0, C#, and SQLServer 2005. The website will be used to enter grants for auniversity. When a new grant is entered, I need to generate a primarykey. The primary key will need to follow the format: Two digit forfiscal year, then number of the grant for that year. Example:Year 08 and 14th grant of the year would be: 0814How can I implement this. Right now, I have a "New Grant.aspx" pagewith a Submit button. I am guessing the date is going to be formattedin C#. How can I check what the last primary key in the database is?Also, it seems to me that SQL Server insists that the primary key be32 bits long, however my primary key will only be 4. How can Ioverride this? Thanks.

In my SQL I am having temporary tables. And in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (Microsoft SQL Server 2005) whenever I execute sql statement its working fine & I am getting the records.
My SQL statement is using 2 databases as follows: 1.PerformanceDeficiencyNotice 2.HRDataWarehouse
Both the above databases are SQL SERVER 2000(80) with a compatibility level of 80.
The problem is when I am trying to create a new view with my sql statement and when I am saying “Verify SQL Syntax�, I am getting an error as “Invalid Object Name ‘#pdninfo’.
And when I am saying “execute SQL�, I am getting an error as “Unable to parse query text� but when I am continuing with the error, the sql statement is running and I am getting the data.
And now when I am trying to save the view I am getting the error as below “Incorrect syntax near the keyword ‘INTO’�. Views or functions are not allowed on temporary tables. Table names that begin with ‘#’ denote temporary tables.
Please suggest how to solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You

I have table variable in which I am inserting data from sql server database. I have made one of the columns called repaidID a primary key so that a clustered index will be created on the table variable. When I run the stored procedure used to insert the data. I have this error message; Violation of Primary key Constraint. Cannot insert duplicate primary key in object. The value that is causing this error is (128503).
I have queried the repaidid 128503 in the database to see if it is a duplicate but could not find any duplicate. The repaidID is a unique id normally use by my company and does not have duplicates.
I'm going through my tables and rewriting them so that I can create relationship-based constraints and create foreign keys among my tables. I didn't have a problem with a few of the tables but I seem to have come across a slightly confusing hiccup.
Here's the query for my Classes table:
Code:
CREATE TABLE Classes ( class_id INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
This statement runs without problems and I Create the relationship with my Users table just fine, having renamed it to teacher_id. I have a 1:n relationship between users and tables AND an n:m relationship because a user can be a student or a teacher, the difference is one field, user_type, which denotes what type of user a person is. In any case, the relationship that's 1:n from users to classes is that of the teacher instructing the class. The problem exists when I run my query for the intermediary table between the class and the gradebook:
Code:
CREATE TABLE Classes_have_Grades ( class_id INT PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
Query Analyzer spits out: Quote: Originally Posted by Query Analyzer There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table 'Classes' that match the referencing column list in the foreign key 'Classes_have_gradesFKIndex2'. Now, I know in SQL Server 2000 you can only have one primary key. Does that mean I can have a multi-columned Primary key (which is in fact what I would like) or does that mean that just one field can be a primary key and that a table can have only the one primary key?
In addition, what is a "candidate" key? Will making the other fields "Candidate" keys solve my problem?

In the T-SQL below, I retrieved data from two queries and I've tried to join them to create a report in SSRS 2008 R2. The SQL runs, but I can't create a report from it. (I also couldn't get this query to run in an Excel file that connects to my SQL Server data base. I've used other T-SQL queries in this Excel file and they run fine.) I think that's because I am creating temporary tables. How do I modify my SQL so that I can get the same result without creating temporary tables?

I am creating a program that will take a master database and create separate databases for class room training.creating my own app to do this since it will have other stuff to do.i will have a master database that i will need to create multiple copies of. 2-20 copies, it is about 7GB large. it is used in a classroom training course for our company software. it will also copy a folder on the server onto multiple subfolders.each computer in the classroom will access its own copy of the database/windows folders.
What i am looking for is a fast/reliable way to create the multiple database copies. then when the training class is over and a new one is getting started, we will run my program to reset everything back to start.Should i detach/copy/attach or create a master backup and restore it 20 times. What kind of user access pitfalls will i need to look out for.

Having a lot of problems with backup device creating backups with a new transaction log for each day. This is causing the backups to grow way to fast. Seems to be random with our clients. Created new device backups but getting same problem. A manual backup selecting overwrite all existing backup sets will fix it. But starts the cycle all over again.
