Generate Random And Unique Number Within Sql ?

Dec 11, 2007

I need to generate a random 10 digit alphanumeric string that is also unique within a table. My application will be calling a stored procedure to insert this number into the table. This number will be associated with a id from another table. Is it better to generate the random number within sql (and perform the lookup at the same time), then just pass the number back to the calling application ?

If the calling application generates the number, it will also need to make a call to check if its unique. So im thinking it would be best to simply have sql generate this random number, check the number against the table and then insert the new record.

thoughts ?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: How To Test Random / Sequential Ratio

Aug 31, 2015

I am checking some ratio numbers for our system engineers, those are

Read/write ratio?
Random/sequential ratio?
Read/write block size?

For Read/write ratio, I am using below query,

SELECT
m.type_desc
, CEILING(sum(num_of_bytes_read*1.0) / (sum(num_of_bytes_read*1.0) + sum(num_of_bytes_written*1.0)) * 100) AS 'Read %'
, CAST((sum(v.size_on_disk_bytes) / 1024.0 / 1024 / 1024) AS MONEY) AS 'FileSizeGB'

[Code] ....

Random/sequential ratio, I googled but cannot find a similar query to get the result?

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: Concatenate Random Date And Time

Oct 20, 2015

I've used some info on here to generate random dates within a given range and also random times - independently they work fine, but I can't seem to join them into a single field of datetime. I'm not sure why. The following snippet works fine as two independent fields:

select CAST(CAST(ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%(780)+(33968) AS DATETIME) as DATE) as theDate,
CAST(CAST(DATEADD(milliSECOND,ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%86400000 ,'00:00') AS TIME) as varchar(50)) as theTimeBut when I try to make it a single datetime field:

select CAST(cast(cast(CAST(ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%(780)+(33968) AS DATETIME) as date) as varchar(50)) + ' ' + cast(CAST(CAST(DATEADD(milliSECOND,ABS(CHECKSUM(NEWID()))%86400000 ,'00:00') AS TIME) as varchar(50)) as varchar(50)) as datetime)

Which returns with: Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.

So what I am really looking for is a way to join those two values into a single datetime field... Or failing that that how to generate random dates within a range including random times...

Help!!!!to Generate Random Data....

Jul 8, 2007

Dear All,
I have some problems with the assignment from my professor.

Suppose there are two tables storing first names and last names, one table with column of first name and gender, the other with last name.

how to write stored procedures to get a random first name + random last name for Males or Female. like you got a list of all M & F first name and last name, then you try to match first name with any other last name (I believe this is random).

and the task is to write a script so each time when a female or male full name is need, it will return a random name for the requested gender.


I am totally struck and no idea how to deal with it, in fact I am just a beginning in SQL server, and I know there is a stored procedure to generate random number, however, I can't see the use of it here,,,,:eek:

Could anyone help me out ? thanks very much !!!:beer:

SQL Server 2014 :: Find Double Records Within DateTime Range

Apr 13, 2015

I have a query question.

Consider a table with the following structure:
RecordID (PK - int) - RecordDate (DateTime)

I need to find all records that fall within a 7 day period slot based on the first RecordDate of a specific slot.

Example, consider the following records:
RecordID - RecordDate

1 - 2015-04-01 14:00
2 - 2015-04-03 15:00
3 - 2015-04-03 16:05
4 - 2015-04-03 19:23
5 - 2015-04-06 09:15
6 - 2015-04-06 11:30
7 - 2015-04-07 12:00
8 - 2015-04-09 15:15

The result of the query I'd like should look something like this

1
2
5
7
8

So basically I'd like to leave record 3 and 4 out because they fall within 24 hours of record 2 and I'd like to leave record 6 out because it falls within 24 hours of record 5.I'd tried working with a CTE and set a dateadd(d, 1, recorddate), join it on itself and use a between From / To filter on the join but that didn't work. I don't think NTILE will work with this?

But I know there is one more record that falls into 05/15/2015

A1G7282015-05-15 12:26:52.807

Can you see what I am missing in my query in order for me to retrieve the missing record A1G728?

How To Generate Random Default Value For A Field Under Sql Table?

Oct 13, 2005

hi
I have a field call: password, I want to generates some random chars as
default password for users (so user got something to login, and update
later).

Current Solution I have:
I made myself a trigger and it does generate password on insert, but
the problem with that is I have to allow NULL on that field.  I
don't want NULL to be allowed, and if I don't allow null... sql server
won't allow me to insert a record (when leaving password field empty).

Reason i don't wanna allow NULL on that field, is because there may be
more applicaions using the same field from the same database. 
Just in case if the other developer gets sloopy, I don't want other
application(s) allow user put to enter a null or leave it blank on my
password field.

My question is:
1) can I put a function or some sort at the "Default" field under "Design Table", if so...how?
2) any suggestions for a better implementation?
3) if (1) doesn't work, what other options would you suggest other then the current trigger i'm using?

TIA

Transact SQL :: Add Random Dates To Existing Table From Defined Range

Jun 15, 2015

I'm trying to add random dates to date column in existing table, but these need to be week days (Mon-Fri).I'm a beginner in TSQL, worked with MS Access many years - in Access I used to do something a bit different:

DateAdd("d",(Int((5*Rnd([ID]))+1)),#31/08/2015#)
Table had ID, I gave a date it would start from (31/08/2015) and then range of ID to apply new date:
UPDATE table1 SET table1 .date = DateAdd("d",(Int((5*Rnd([ID]))+1)),#31/08/2015#)
WHERE (((table1 .ID) Between 1 And 5456));

This was applying random dates in range of 31/08/2015 + 5 days, so I could give a starting date of Sunday to get random dates populated over given IDs from Monday to Friday.Now, how can I do it in TSQL?I have a table with ID and dates column. I would like to apply new random dates from some range, but making sure they will be week days.

SQL Server 2008 :: Generate Increment Number With Conditional Restart

May 22, 2015

I need to create a script that adds an incrementing suffix to two columns, but restarts based on the value of another column. I found a similar question in the SQL Server 2000 forum, but it doesn't quite fit and also I'm working with SQL Server 2008 R2. The code below both creates a table with test data and tries to carry out the task. If you run this, you will see that the VISITNUM column has a value of UNS in row 4, UNS.1 in row 5 and UNS.2 in row 6. In row 7 it's V200, then in rows 8 and 9 it's UNS.3 for both. The same suffix gets applied to the VISIT column, but of course if I can solve this for VISITNUM then adding the suffix to VIST as well will be easy.

What I need is for row 8 to have UNS and row 9 to have UNS.1. In other words, any time the VISITNUM is UNS several times in a row, I need to add that ".X" suffix, but if a row has something other than UNS, I need to start over again the next time it's UNS again.

CREATE TABLE #testing(
KitID varchar(20),
SubjID varchar(20),
VISIT varchar(60),
VISITNUM varchar(20),

My question is, how come the values in my column all have the same value? I thought the RAND function gives out a random number? How can I update my table to generate random numbers?

SQL Server 2014 :: Getting Unique Number For Groups Of Records?

Aug 6, 2014

I'm trying to do the following and haven't been able to figure it out.

Say there's a table with these records:

Col1 Col2 Col3
a b c
a b c
a b d
e f g
e f g

I want to generate a number that represents the groups of columns like this:

Col1 Col2 Col3 MyNumber
a b c 1
a b c 1
a b d 2
e f g 3
e f g 3

So that each grouping gets its own identifier. I've tried this:

SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3
row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY Col1, Col2, Col3
ORDER BY Col1, Col2, Col3) AS MyNumber
FROM MyTable

But I get this:

Col1 Col2 Col3 MyNumber
a b c 1
a b c 2
a b d 1
e f g 1

SQL Server Admin 2014 :: High Number Of VLFs

Oct 7, 2015

I have heard that high numbers of VLF's aren't good. It can impact performance and can delay recovery time, so I wanted to test that.

I created 2 DBs with 100MB datafile and 50MB logfile.

TestDB log file had 100MB autogrowth
TestDB2 log file had 1% growth.

I inserted 1048576 records, took the backup

Ran DBCC loginfo and
TestDB had 40 VLFs and
TestDB2 had 165 VLFs

But when I restored both DBs, this is what I got.

TestDB:
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 42258 pages in 4.420 seconds (74.691 MB/sec).
SQL Server Execution times:
CPU Time = 125ms, elapsed time = 8323 ms.

TestDB2:
RESTORE DATABASE successfully processed 42257 pages in 3.943 seconds (83.724 MB/sec).
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 109 ms, elapsed time = 8314 ms.

Question is: Where is the difference? How TestDB which has 40 VLFs are better than TestDB22 which has 165 VLFs.

Transact SQL :: Set Unique Random Number

Dec 1, 2015

Lets say we have a table (tblProducts)

ID   Item             RandomNumber
-------------------------------------------
1    JEANS                      1234567
2    SHIRT                    72813550
3    HOOD                             Null
4    TROUSER               72191839
5    BLAZER                              0

I want to perform a query so that SQL should look for RandomNumber Values and set a Unique Random Number Where RandomNumber Value is Null or 0.So I have got a solution as one of the MSDN Member shared the below query

select id,item,RandomNumber=Case when RandomNumber=0 then (select floor(rand()*100000000-1))
when RandomNumber is null then (select floor(rand()*100000000-1))
else RandomNumber end from tblProducts

So, can you all confirm me, that performing this query ensures that if a Value is assigned to one of the Item in RandomNumber Column, that value will not be assignend to any other Item in RandoNumberColumn.

one record or number?
