hi all,
i have an autonumber field (primary key) and another integer field as part of a table. What i want to do is when a record is created, the default value of the integer field should be the_autonumber+1000 for eg record with pk 82 will have an integer field that's automatically 1082. Would it be possible to do this ? Thanks in advance.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I have a field where 99.9% of the time the answer is going to be "No", would I be better, in terms of disk space, using:
A bit field
OR
A tiny int field, with a NULL for the 99.9% that are "NO", and a 1 for those that are "YES".
I'm using SQL Server 7.0.
My application developer has no preference.
Thanks.

We have account numbers that are string values, looking like: "01.02.02.00.0040.000.000".
We need to parse individual segments and pull out a range of values treating the segment like an integer. For example we would like all accounts that have the fifth segment ranging in values from .0040. through .0060. inclusive.
We've been trying to do something with the like clause: LIKE '__.__.__.__.[0-0][0-0][4-6][0-0]'.
We want 40 through 60 but we're getting 40, 50, and 60. If we change the last bracket to [0-9] we get 40 through 69.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to either fix our like clause or another approach?
Thanks.

Currently I have the following stored procedure which simply adds a new row in my SQL Express 2005. What I want is that -1). before inserting the record find out the new ID (primary key) value. (ID is automatically a sequential integer generated by SQL Server)2). and set COMPANY_ID = (new) ID Any thoughts? Thanks ALTER PROCEDURE usp_tbl_Company_Insert @Company_ID int, @Name varchar(200), AS<FIND THE NEW ID of the new row in the database> @Company_ID = (new ID) INSERT INTO tbl_Company (Company_ID, Name,)VALUES (@Company_ID, @Name)
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I need to create a new field on a table and have that field default to another field value in that same table. Is there a way to do this w/ a default constraint rather than adding a trigger to the table? If i can't use a default constraint does anyone have a template trigger i could use? Below is an example of what i'm trying to do (Field_C is the new field and i want it to use Field_A value if no other value is specified on insert). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
alter table FOO add Field_C varchar(50) not null constraint FOO_default DEFAULT Field_A

Hi to all
Is there any option in sql server DTS or any other third party tool that can script data. By scripting data i mean that....
if a table "Employee" contains 50 rows, i want the tool to write 50 insert queries for me so that i can run in it anywhere.
Problem is i have to insert data in a remote server where i cannot use DTS. I just have a text area to write my query and press the run button..
Hope u understand my problem. In case of any explanation please reply. Waiting for your response. Thanx in advance.

Working on a new database where the Date and Time are stored in a Date Time Field.
Then working on an OLDER database file within the same SQL Database contains these 2 items as integers:
transDate = "71615" (July 16, 2015)
transTime = "12345" (01:23:45 AM)
How do we convert both of them into a single SQL DateTime field such as "2015-07-16 01:23:45.000" so that it can be used in a join restricting to a date time in a different SQL File that properly has the DateTime in it?
This works well for converting the transDate Part in the select statement:
dbo.IntegerToDate(at.transDate) as transDate
* That returns: "2015-07-16 00:00:00.000"
* The resulting data must work directly in a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Query using either using the "on" statement or part of the "where" clause. In other words, NOT as a stored procedure!
Also must be able to be used as a date difference calculation when comparing the 2 files Within say + or - 5 seconds.
Is it possible to change the default value of a field using a stored proc or query? Any hints on how to do this if it is possible would be appreciated!

I'm copying MyDbTable to TempdbTable. There are 12 fields and I'm ignoring 11 of them when copying the one table to another with DTSWizard.
Once the TempdbTable is there, I'm adding 2 fields along with the one that is there already.
1) field1 int, Nullable, Default value ((3))
2) field2 tinyint, Nullable, Default value ((1))
The reason why I'm creating these two fields and giving them a value so they will match up when I import TempdbTable to MyDb2ndTable.
The problem I'm having is... field1 and field2 have a Null value intead of the value I'm giving them.
I'm new at this, so maybe the cause of the problem is obvious, but if anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,

hi, please help me, i have a data driven site, i made a field that i call "Status"so this is how it should happens, there are three different gridviews in a single page, gridview1 filter is [status] = ok, gridview2 filter is [status] = fine, gridview3 filter is [status] = complete, so all gridview has its own <asp:hyperLinkField> at first the value of "Status" is ok, so it will appear in the gridview1, so when the user click on the <asp:HyperLinkField> of gridview1 it will go to a new page with a form view, this page has a button that when click will change the value of the status field to "fine", so that it will no longer appear to the gridview1 but it will now appear to gridview2 and same with the next <asp:HyperLinkField> click until it appears to the final gridview. so my question is how can i make the button that is capable of changing (update) the value my database field (status) to a specific value, that is not visible to the user thru codebehind or plain asp.net codes. please help me, if you need more info just reply.ThanksSALAMAT PO!

Can I simply set the default value of a dateTime field with the date and time that the record was created?
I am doing a shopping basket type demo.I have difficulties going from table with fields like (Name,ProductCode) to table(Name, ProductCode, NumberOfItems). One way could be adding just Name and ProductCode fields and let NumberOfItems come automatically. It could have some common value like 1. How should I do this with VB.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn SQL Server 2000 / Asp.Net I am trying to use default values for all fields; hoping to eliminate nulls.
For number and character fields, the default is pretty obvious, but is there any empty value for a date field? I think a null there might be better than putting in a bogus date, at least it can be tested for.
Are there any more developend ideas on this question?
Many thanks

I am creating a new filed in SQL Server 2005, and I want the field to have the default of '0'
I select the data type as numeric and save my changes, I then visit our front end database to see if the default value is just '0' but it appears as '0.00'
SO i thought about changing the default value to int (im thinking this means integer?) and changing it to '3' but it still displays the decimal point and two 0's
Am I doing something wrong here? I just want it to display '0'
Thanks
should I set to "0" as a default value on a quantity and a price fieldor set to "null"?if a user enter nothing on the quantity or price field on a webbrowser, should I treat it as null or "0"? I am so confused about thisconcept. please advise me. thank you.

I am working with a SQL server 2005 database. I have created several new tables. In one of the tables, I need to set up a data field so that it will default to a particular value. For exampe, I need to have a particular data field default to a value of '0'
How can I do this? I would prefer not to do this through Query analyzer. I have been using the interface to SQL server 2005 provided through the Visual Studio IDE.
Thanks in advance, Bill
Is there a way to set a field value to the column default in an update statement?
Eg.
UPDATE Table2 SET field1 = DefaultValue
where DefaultValue is the field1 column default in the table definition.
The reason I need to do this is when I delete a record from Table1, I need to set the foreign key in Table2 to the default (I don't want to delete the record in Table2, just want to set the key to a default key). I could hard-code the default value in the stored procedure but I think that's just not clean. If I create a new instance of the DB and the default value changes, I'd need to change the stored procedure(s). Just not clean...
To avoid a drawn-out discussion, there are reasons why I can't setup a relationship between the two tables and use "ON DELETE SET DEFAULT".
Any info greatly appreciated.
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
There are two tables, parent and child table.Foreign key field of the child table is not a required field. If thedata is submitted w/o a value into the foreign key field, what shouldI make it as a default value? Should it be "null"?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a datatable : Data_Table and a look up table: Lk_table. Myfield that I
use in Inner Join is defined in both the
data and look table.
So I build my query like this:
SELECT * FROM dbo. Data_Table INNER JOIN
dbo. Lk_table ON dbo.Data_Table.MyField = dbo.Lk_table.Myfield
The pb, sometimes I
have myfield still with its default null value in the datatable: Data_Table.
So, I end up getting 0 record when I execute the query shown above.
How do I turn that around so that even if myfield in Data_Table
is Null, I still get the records from Data_Table. (I don t want a set of
records including all possible values from the look up table: Lk_Table)
SELECT ArticleID, ArticleTitle, ArticleDate, Published, PublishDate, PublishEndDateFROM UserArticlesWHERE (ArticleDate >= PublishDate) AND (ArticleDate <= PublishEndDate)

I don't know how to pass the value of the ArticleDate field as a default parameter or I think that's what I don't know how to do.
