I have a stored procedure (below), that is supposeto get a Reg Number from a table, (Reg_Number), insuch a way that every time the stored procedure is called,it will get a different reg number, even if the storedprocedure is called simultaneously from two differentplaces,However it is not working that way.If two different users access a function in thereVB program at the same time, the two different userswill get the same reg number.I have looked at the stored procedure, it looks foolproof,yet it is not working that way.Thanks in Advance,Laurence NuttallProgrammer Analyst IIIUCLA - Division of Continuing Education'---------------------------------------------------------------------------Here it is:CREATE PROCEDURE sp_GetNextRegNum@newRegNum char(6) = NULL OUTPUTASLABEL_GET_ANOTHER_REG:Select @newRegNum =(select min(Reg) from reg_number)IF Exists (select Reg from reg_number where reg = @newRegNum )BeginDelete from reg_number where reg = @newRegNumIF @@Error <> 0BeginGoto LABEL_GET_ANOTHER_REGEnd--EndifEndELSEGoTo LABEL_GET_ANOTHER_REG--EndifGO
Hi, I have a doubt about the behaviour of SQL Server 2005 in the situation I'm going to describe you. Suppose that you have a SQL Server 2005 database on your PC, and suppose that this database has a table with a column classified as "unique" (so it's impossible for this table to contain 2 records having the same value in this column). Suppose that you publish this database and you create 2 SQL Server Mobile 2005 subscriptions on 2 Pocket PCs. Suppose now that the first PPC (using an embedded program) creates a record with a certain value for the column (and adds it to the table), and the second PPC makes the same thing (it inserts a record with the same column value of the first PPC). At this point, you connect the 2 PPCs to your PC (one by one, of course), to synchronize (using merge replication) the databases...
WHAT HAPPENS??? Does an error raise? Must you give a publication setting in which you say that, if this situation occurs, PC SQL Server holds the last (or the first, as you decide) record acquired? Is it possible?

Hello. I need to select a random record from TABLE. It might look easy with using RAND() function, but the tricky part is that ID's which are the PRIMARY KEY, were assigned as a random number. So right now ID's in that TABLE look some thing like that: -18745, 45809, 129, -5890023, 487910943, -209, etc... If any one have any ideas please respond. Thanks in advance.
CREATE TABLE First_Table (id INTEGER IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, titre VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, annee INTEGER NOT NULL, idMES INTEGER, genre VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, resume TEXT, codePays VARCHAR(4), CONSTRAINT PKFilm PRIMARY KEY (idFilm), FOREIGN KEY (idMES) REFERENCES Artiste, FOREIGN KEY (codePays) REFERENCES Pays);
I'ld like fill in this tables records inserting in the column id values I got in the one other table. In Oracle it is possible to do it using sourceTable.nextval where sourceTable is created as: CREATE SEQUENCE sourceTable; How can I do it in MS SQL or Transact-sql?
Hello everyone, I have a query problem.I'll put it like this. There is a 'publishers' table, and there is a'titles' table. Publishers publish titles (of course). Now I want to make aquery (in MS SQL Server) that would return the last title published by everyof the publishers. Quite clear situation. But I can't make it work.If I use inner join (which I should, because I need data from both tables)then I get a result showing all publishers and all titles. What I want toget is all publishers, and only their last title, so I don't have more thanone line for the same publisher, and this line should contain publisherdetails and last title details.I tried using DISTINCT, but it works on a whole resultant row rather then acolumn, and since rows are all distnict (because they also contain columnsfrom titles) this didn't help me.What I can do is (in my application) first get a list of publishers, andthen loop through them selecting only the last title belonging to eachpublisher. I want to see if there is a way to accomplish the same thing withan SQL query (or maybe a stored procedure, view, or whatever). Anything ispossible, as long as it stays within SQL server and doesn't rely on theclient application.Of course, both 'publishers' and 'titles' tables have a primary key('publisherID', and 'titleID'), and 'titles' has a 'publisherID' columnwhich relates titles with publishers.Help :)
To see where is the problem I am trying to count rows in the database.First I create a table A with 2 columns namely tablename, rowbefore and rowafter and I insert records in it as below.
INSERT INTO A SELECT TableName = o.name, '', Rows = max(i.rows) FROM sysobjects o INNER JOIN sysindexes i ON o.id = i.id WHERE xtype = 'u' AND OBJECTPROPERTY(o.id,N'IsUserTable') = 1 GROUP BY o.name ORDER BY o.name Then I update rowbefore with rowafter as below. UPDATE A SET rowbefore = rowafter
Now I launch my application with update records in the database.Then I am trying to update rowafter with new records as below.
UPDATE A SET rowafter = (SELECT max(sysindexes.rows) FROM sysobjects INNER JOIN sysindexes ON sysobjects.id = sysindexes.id WHERE xtype = 'u' AND OBJECTPROPERTY(sysobjects.id,N'IsUserTable') = 1 AND A.tablename = sysobjects.name)
Does this update really update my column rowafter or not?
Hello Hello, This Noob has a question. I have been atempting for days to figure this out. I have this set up: (See Below)
The Problem I am having is occuring at the Table named OU in Maroon below. It combines 2 chains of keys into one table to try and make a unique record. The problem is that it is not.
Pasted below is a Query run on the data within the tables: As you can see certain data is getting duplicated in this tabel. I want 1 Unique record in the OU table based upon the Study ID Primary Key and the zCombined Primary Key.
Any Ideas as to what is wrong, or how to make it work would defineatly be appreciated.
Table:zCombined PK: zCombinedID FK: TempID ~ To Temp Table FK: ShipTypeID ~ To Ship Type Table FK: CoordinatorID ~ To Coordinator Table FK: BoxTypeID ~ To Box Type Table
Id StdId TeacherName Day subject 1 1 Archana Monday English 2 1 Archana Tue Marathi 3 1 Shama Wed Hindi 4 1 shama Thus Hindi 5 1 Kavita Fri Hindi 6 2 Archana Mon english 7 2 Dipti Tues Hindi
Second table : Student
Id Sname Cid 1 Shalini 1 2 Monika 1 3 Rohan 3
I want to fetch uniq combination of stuid and subject.Result should show all subject of student whether may be teachername and day. If I choose shalini whose stuid is 1,all subject for shalini(hindi,english,marathi) should come. Record from either of three should come
Id StdId TeacherName Day subject 3 1 Shama Wed Hindi 4 1 shama Thus Hindi 5 1 Kavita Fri Hindi
I want fetch studentname along with teachername,day and subject whose cid = 1 here is my query
select Student.Sname,TeacherName, Day,subject from StudentTeacherRelation inner join Student Student.id = StudentTeacherRelation.StuId where cid = 1
I want place result of it in temp,Want fetch max(id) from temp table by doing group by on Sname and Subject.find all id from temp table where that id present in max id.
show Id StdId TeacherName Day subject where (1,2,3,4,5,6,7-- all id from temp) in (1,2,5,6,7 -- max id from temp by doing group by on Sname and subject)
So it will show record Id StdId TeacherName Day subject where id is 1,2,5,6,7.Only five record should come.How to do that?
I am looking to create a script that will go through a table a pick out the necessary columns to create a unique record. Some of the tables that I am working with have 200 plus columns and I am not sure if I would have to list every column name in the script or if they could be dynamically referenced. I am working with a SQL server that has little next to no documentation and everytime I type to mere some tables, I get too many rows back.
I have a table of "applicants" with unique applicant id and another table "reviews" with reviews which has unique id and Emplid and contains general program name like Math and then may contain 3 addition rows for specific program like Calculus, algebra, geometry etc.
There may or may not be a record for each applicant id in table reviews or there can be 1 or more than one record in reviews based on level of review( General or Specific).
All the general reviews has “Math” as Program_code but if there are more reviews, they can have Program_code like “Cal” , “Abr”, “Geo”
I want to join the tables so I can get all the records from both the tables where Program_code in reviews table is “Math” only.
That is I want to join the table and get all the records from reviews table where the program_code is “Math” only How can I do that?
I have a database full of different types of leads some for company A some for company B and so on, each doing a different service. However the leads from B can be used for A and leads from A can be used for B, so I want to merge the data.
Example:
Phone Number Name Home Owner Credit Insurance 727-555-1234 Dave Thomas Yes B 727-555-1234 Dave Thomas Gieco
I would like the end result to be one record:
Phone Number Name Home Owner Credit Insurance 727-555-1234 Dave Thomas Yes B Gieco
Since these were imported into SQL they all have a unique ID, here are the current labels
Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I have a SQL Server Table wtih approximately 100,000 records. I need to determine if there are duplicate records in this table. My probelm is that there is a unique ID column that was added for each row, so I'm not exactly sure how to filter the rows. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
And I want to end with a table that has every unique combination of these records (the order being reversed would be considered 'unique' in this context)
I am trying to create a select query similar to the following but the problem I am having is that I want to only select one record where there may be several with the same dw_order_no. I have tried various ways using SQL developer but without success
SELECT VE_EZP_ORDER_TRANS.EZP_BILL_STATUS AS EZP_BILL_STATUS1, VE_EZP_AGED_CUSTOMER_DEBT.SURNAME, VE_EZP_AGED_CUSTOMER_DEBT.DEBT_AGE_CATEGORY, VE_EZP_AGED_CUSTOMER_DEBT.DEBT_AGE, VE_ORDERLINE.DW_ORDER_NO,
I got the following query:SELECT TOP (8) ext.extID, ext.Quote, ext.sourceTitle, ext.extRating, gf_game.gameID, gf_game.catID, gf_game.URL, gf_game.TitleFROM gf_game_ext AS ext INNER JOIN gf_game ON gf_game.gameID = ext.gameIDWHERE (ext.Approved = 1)ORDER BY ext.extID DESC which is e.g. producing this output: 6000 -some text- Title 90 1960 2 tom-cl tom cl5999 -some text- title 90 1960 2 tom-clcl asdf5998 -some text- title 90 1959 2 tom-cl-cl asdfWhat I'd like to do now is to filter out the duplicate GameIDs (= 1960) so that just one unique row with the gameid 1960 is remaining. If I put in a SELECT DINSTINCT TOP(8) it just counts for the table ext, but I need it to count for gf_game.gameID - is that possible?Thanks a lot!
As a beginner i am having trouble with this. i have two different tables , both have a name column, nvarchar datatype. I would like to select from table B all the rows which contain a name which is not in table A. Then insert these rows, into table A
tried a few different ways & just keep getting strange errors that refer to courier font ??
I have three tables: EMP (ID, NAME), EMPDATE (ID, STARTDATE, ENDDATE), YEAR(YEAR)
I would like to get the most recent date within a given year per each EMP? For example, EMPID 1 can be enrolled in many programs, each program has start end dates. I need to list the most recent date an employee was enrolled (max date between START AND END DATE which ever is most recent enrollment) for a given year. For example, for 2014 his/her most recent enrollment should be 10/23/2014 for year 2014 and 2013-10-24 for year 2013.
SELECT ID, EMP.NAME, DTE.StartDate, DTE.ENDDATE, year FROM EMP_DATE DTE join EMP_INFO EMP on EMP.ID = DTE.ID join YEAR YR on YR.YEAR = YEAR(DTE.STARTDATE)
I will try my best to explain this, We have a shopping cart on our website, the person that was developing this has now left the company and I've been given the job to finish it off.
When I load all the items that the user has entered in to his/her cart I return the Item ID and the RowNumber (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order by Id) AS RowNumber)
I'm trying to delete the item from the table using the following query
DELETE FROM [dbo].[Cart.Items] WHERE UniqueID = UniqueID and ItemID = @ItemID and @RowNumber IN ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (Order by Id) AS RowNumber)
Now the reason we are using the RowNumber is because the user can add the same Item as many times as they like so for example you buy 3 different mobile phones, and you want three screen protectors, they will click screen protector 3 times which will add 3 records in to the db with the same id. so the row number is used to find the correct one.

I have a very large CSV file containing name-and-address information which I am reading in a Visual Basic project using the Microsoft.JetOLEDB.4.0 provider.
The key field on which the CSV file is to be filtered is the PostCode field. This is a UK-format PostCode "XXnn Nxx" where "XX" is one or more letters denoting a geographical area within the UK and "nn" is one or more characters (starting with at least one numeric digit) which when combined with the area code denotes a specific district within the geographical area. My aim is to identify all the unique UK postal districts held within my address CSV file.
Because I do not know how to use SQL to filter on the partial contents of a database field I am presently reduced to extracting unique full PostCodes using "SELECT DISTINCT PostCode,City,County FROM [ADDRESSES.csv]" into a DataTable object, then sequentially reading that DataTable using the operation of a dictionary object to identify unique PostCode areas, to finally construct the DataTable I need.
Is it possible in SQL to select records where the value of a varying number of characters before a space character in a given (PostCode) field is unique?
I've got an OLEDB DB2 linked server to a db2/AS400 instance and selecting from a table on the server has never caused problems before. One of the columns is a large text field. If I select all the columns but the large text field, it returns as normal, but including the large text field now, I get:
"Transport error: shared memory provider error: 0 - no process is on the other end of the pipe"
The largest entry in the text field is about 5k characters, and there don't appear to be any strange characters.
So for years I was using the int identity(1,1) primary_key for all the tables I created, and then in this project I decided, you know, I like the uniqueidentifier using newsequentialid() to ensure a distinctly unique primary key.
then, after working with the php sqlsrv driver, I realized huh, no matter what, i am unable to retrieve the scope_identity() of the insert
So of course I cruised back to the MSSMS and realized crap, I can't even make the uniqueidentifier an identity.
So now I'm wondering 2 things...
1: Can I short cut and pull the uniqueidentifier of a newly inserted record, even though the scope_identity() will return null or 2: do I now have to add a column to each table, keep the uniqueidentifier (as all my tables are unified by that relationship) and also add a pk field as an int identity(1,1) primary_key, in order to be able to pull the scope_identity() on insert...
Create table #test ( id int primary key, Name varchar(100) ) insert into #test values (1,'John') insert into #test values (2,'Walker')
[Code] ....
-- Query 1 : update #test set name = 'Joney' where id = 1
-- Query 2 : set rowcount 1 update #test set name = 'Joney' where id = 1 set rowcount 0
1. #test table have primary key & clustered index. 2. Obviously only one row will be available for an id. 3. In query 1, will the sql server look for matching rows even after it found 1 row? 4. Will query 2 really gains some performance?
I have created some dynamic sql to check a temporary table that is created on the fly for any columns that do contain data. If they do the column name is added to a dynamic sql, if not they are excluded. This looks like:
If (select sum(Case when [Sat] is null then 0 else 1 end) from #TABLE) >= 1 begin set @OIL_BULK = @OIL_BULK + '[Sat]' +',' END However, I am currently running this on over 230 columns and large tables 1.3 mil rows and it is quite slow. How I can dynamically create a sql script that only selects the columns in the table where there is data in a speedier manner. Unfortunately it has to be on the fly because the temporary table is created on the fly.
