SQL Server 2012 :: Creating Continuous Primary Key Integer Value
Jun 26, 2014
Discuss the following sql query with respect to performance in an applicaiton involving more number of concurrent users creating and deleting records. The objective is to create continuous primary key integer values.
Table name: SitePage
Column DataType
--------- -----------
PageID BigINT
PageName nchar(10)
Query to insert new record
DECLARE @intFlag INT
SET @intFlag = 0
WHILE (@intFlag =0)
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
[Code] ....
We don't want to use auto increment integer value for primary key because of the following reason
[URL] .....
We also don't want to use SEQUENCE as we have to create 50 sequence for 50 tables
We can't do trace flag 272

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

In VBA, CLng(Now) will return the integer portion of a date CLng(Now) returns 41928, CDate(41928) then returns 10/16/2014. Is there something equivalent in SQL Server that will allow me to convert an integer value to a date?
In short, how can I convert a 100 year date to Gregorian (any format)?

I've got a column that holds a time value in Integer form as a number from midnight (IE military time) with no leading 0s or colons.
0 = 00:00
30 = 00:30
...
1700 = 1700 etc...
How can I convert this to a real time field?

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.

Environment: Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition (64-bit), 10.0.5520.0
I was doing a code review for another developer and came across this code:
CREATE TABLE dbo.#ABC
(
ReportRunTime DATETIME
,SourceID VARCHAR(3)
,VisitID VARCHAR(30)
,BaseID VARCHAR(25)
[Code] ....
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:
CREATE TABLE dbo.#ABC
(
ReportRunTime DATETIME
,SourceID VARCHAR(3)
,VisitID VARCHAR(30)
,BaseID VARCHAR(25)
,OccurrenceSeqID INT
[code]...
==> 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
[Code] .....

Can a Primary Key column also be a Identity column? The reason I am asking this question is because I have created a table and each time I insert data into the Address Table I am also inserting the AddressID, how do I get the Primary Key (AddressID column) to self generate ID values.

I am writing a trigger for getting values to auditlog table when the values gets updated. Below is the code of my trigger.
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[Update_Temp] ON [dbo].[Temptable1] FOR UPDATE
AS
DECLARE @bit INT ,
@field INT ,
@maxfield INT ,
@char INT ,
@fieldname VARCHAR(128) ,
@TableName VARCHAR(128) ,
[Code] ....
The code is working fine when the table has primary key associated. However due to some restrictions I will not be able to have a primary key for some tables. I want to implement the same trigger in those tables too. When there is primary key, that primary key needs to get inserted into the audit table and if there is no primary key, i want a specific column value to get inserted instead of the primary key value into the audit table.
For example, i have a student table in which there is a student id, name, dob. there is no primary key defined for the table. So when i update the name or dob, i need the student id to get inserted into the Pk column of the audit table.
I tried modifying the code by checking the @pkcols for Null and if its null to get the old value as the primary key however I was not able to do it .

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?

y'day we faced situation one of the primary server went down and unable to failover the services to second node . by checking in logs we found
Cluster network 'Public' is partitioned. Some attached failover cluster nodes cannot communicate with each other over the network. The failover cluster was not able to determine the location of the failure. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges.

I need to search for such SPs in my database in which the queries for update a table contains where clause which uses non primary key while updating rows in table.
If employee table have empId as primary key and an Update query is using empName in where clause to update employee record then such SP should be listed. so there would be hundreds of tables with their primary key and thousands of SPs in a database. How can I find them where the "where" clause is using some other column than its primary key.
If there is any other hint or query to identify such queries that lock tables, I only found the above few queries that are not using primary key in where clause.

<connectionTimeout>15</connectionTimeout>
[Code] ....
with this query:
SELECT
'version="5" type="database"' AS 'value',
'master' AS 'name',
LTRIM(RTRIM(([Server Name]))) AS 'server',
'True' AS 'integratedSecurity',
[Code] ....
BUt my output is not correct, it is creating this:
<value>
<value>version="5" type="database"</value>
<name>master</name>
<server>ServerName</server>
<integratedSecurity>True</integratedSecurity>
[Code] .....
So my question is how to I get <value>version="5" type="database"</value> as the first 'value' node?
I've tried multiple ways, but no success.

Completely new to SQL so wondered if anyone could help with an issue I'm sure there is a simple answer too.
Need to create a Primary Key for an existing table. Now I have managed to create a new column called _ID, which set the contents to NULL. So populated the column with the number 1 so that I could set it to no null.
Now when I run the query:
ALTER TABLE tablename ADD PRIMARY KEY (_ID);
I get the error:
The CREATE UNIQUE INDEX statement terminated because a duplicate key was found for the object name 'dbo._DATACAPTURE' and the index name 'PK___DATACAPTURE__145C0A3F'. The duplicate key value is (1).
Which is obviously due to the repeated 1 in _ID.
So I am thinking I just need to run a query that fills the _ID with a unique number.
Any ideas how I do that?
Thanks for your help in advance.

I need to ensure some naming standards to users while creating tables.
All table name should be in same pattern
(ie., ) TeamName_EmpId_tablename
I need a way to restrict user to follow the naming standard. If any user tries to create table without the above naming standard system should not allow.

I am having trouble figuring out why the following code throws an error:

@stmt nvarchar(max)
select @cols = ('[' + W.FKStoreID + ']') from (select distinct FKStoreID from VW_PC_T) as W
select @stmt = '
select *
[Code] ...
The issue that I am having is:
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '[' to data type int.
I know that I have to use the [ ] in order to run the dynamic sql. I am not sure what is failing and why as the syntax seems to be clean to me (obviously it is not).

I have 2 tables (#raw1 & #raw2). Each has a year (yr) and month (mnth) and a count (cnt1 / cnt2) field. I need a table created as follows:
2013 2014 2015
cnt1 cnt2 cnt1 cnt2 cnt1 cnt2
jan 5 77 77 8 88
etc....
Normally, I would ask about a pivot but since it is months down one side and year and columns on the top, I don't know if a pivot will work.
create table #raw1 ([yr] int, [mnth] int, [cnt1] int)
insert into #raw1 values

Recently I've been stumbling with a way to properly produce a result that provides me a count of sales orders that fall in a range of sales order totals.
I want to take the Sales Order Total and then count how many times it falls into a specific bucket.
I've included the script where I've left with sample data so you can run in into a tempdb.
I hope to have the end result look like the below summary if you use my sample data.
Count Less Than 5K: 5
Count Greater Than 5K Less Than 10K: 0
Count Greater Than 10K Less Than 25K: 3
Count Greater Than 25K: 2
Here is the script to set up the tempdb
use tempdb
go
/*
drop table #salesinvoice;
drop table #salesinvoicedetail;
[Code] ....
Below is my query, I change it to perform a count on the summarized totals.
select
si.OrderID as OrderNum
,sum(case when sid.LineAmount < 5000 then 1 else 0 end) as LT5K
,sum(case when sid.LineAmount >=5000 and sid.LineAmount < 10000 then 1 else 0 end) as GT5kLT10k
,sum(case when sid.LineAmount >=10000 and sid.LineAmount < 25000 then 1 else 0 end) as GT10kLT25k
[Code] ....
Here are the order totals.
SI201 = 41450
SI202 = 11600
SI203 = 1210
SI204 = 16001
SI205 = 2750
SI206 = 12500
SI207 = 25450
SI208 = 4500
SI209 = 3850
SI210 = 2575
And the desired result would tell me the below summary. The final query can be column based. I just write this in rows for clarity.
Count Less Than 5K: 5
Count Greater Than 5K Less Than 10K: 0
Count Greater Than 10K Less Than 25K: 3
Count Greater Than 25K: 2

Hi
I'm trying to create a composite Primary Key on a table. This is the SQL I've written:
CREATE TABLE BookingItems
(
BookingID INT NOT NULL
REFERENCES Bookings(BookingID),
EquipmentTypeID INT NOT NULL
REFERENCES EquipmentType(EquipmentTypeID),
CONSTRAINT PK_BookingItems_id PRIMARY KEY
(BookingID, EquipmentTypeID)
)
Is this right? I'm trying to define a Primary Key made up of BookingID and EquipmentTypesID, which are both Foreign Keys as defined in the column definition.
Thanks

I have attempted to create an index by using the following statement:

there is an index for the column School? Is there a command that will tell me. I'm just sending commands

Hi all,I've spent hours trying to find the error in the following SQL 2000command:ALTER TABLE [ClientList] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_ClientList] PRIMARY KEYCLUSTERED ([PhoneNo]) On [PRIMARY]Every time I try to "Execute" this from my (VB5) ODBC connection I get:Runtime error 3289;Syntax error in CONSTRAINT clauseFor the life of me I can see nothing wrong. I used Enterprise managerto create this statement, and I can create the primary key fine fromthere. The PhoneNo field does not allow NULLs.Everything is service-packed up to date. I have tried using[databasename].[dbo].[ClientList] and suchlike.I've tried to find a relevant manual, but my SQL Server developersguide suggests this should be ok and I can't see anything wrong in thebooks online.Can anybody please help?TIA

This returns a dataset, that I need to convert into a PIVOT table that should look like the attached spreadsheet.
Having trouble writing the PIVOT table query. I feel like I am missing something conceptually as I am not doing any summing or aggregation. I don't know if dynamics SQL is the solution here or which route to take. I don't know if there is such things as PIVOTING without aggregation. CROSS TAB came to my mind as well.
