Not sure if this is the right place for this post or not, but I'll give it a try...
If I am inserting a record into a table that uses a Primary Key, but not an Identity column, how do I insert the new primary key value? I started out with SQL just letting the Identity column increment itself for primary keys, but I cannot do that for this particular situation.
If 'AddressID' is the primary key in the 'Address' table, could I do something like this:
INSERT INTO Address (AddressID, Field1, Field2, ...)
VALUES (**max value of primary key in Address table, plus 1**, 'field1data', 'field2data', ...);
If that works, how would I make this part of the insert query:
**max value of primary key in Address table, plus 1** ?
I hope this question is clear and makes sense. If it's not, please let me know.
Ok I know this might not be the most accurate place to post this but I know someone here has an answer for me on it.I need to get the product_ID of the new record that is created by this insert statement INSERTINTO products ( class_ID,category_ID,product_name,product_desc,product_image,product_dimension,product_o1,product_o2,product_o3,product_ac,product_ph,product_photo ) SELECT class_ID,category_ID,product_name,product_desc,product_image,product_dimension,product_o1,product_o2,product_o3,product_ac,product_ph,product_photo FROM productsWHERE product_ID = @productID
Ok, this is a really stupid question, but I can't seem to find an answer I understand. In my SQL database I have a a table called MasterSkillList, to which the user can write by using a little web form with a text box and a drop down list. The table has 2 fields, Skill and Attribute. Skill is the primary key, as no skill can appear twice. What I want to do is prevent just that, I don't want people to enter the same skill more than once. So how do I tell the user that the entry allready exists in the database? My C# Code is as follows:1 protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 2 { 3 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Skill"].DefaultValue = txtSkillName.Text; 4 srcAddSkill.InsertParameters["Attribute"].DefaultValue = ddlAbility.SelectedValue; 5 try 6 { 7 srcAddSkill.Insert(); 8 lblErrorMessage.Text = "The skill '" + txtSkillName.Text + "' has been added. It is based on a character's " + ddlAbility.SelectedItem + " score."; 9 lblErrorMessage.Visible = true; 10 txtSkillName.Text = ""; 11 } 12 catch (Exception ex) 13 { 14 lblErrorMessage.Text = "An exception has occurred. " + ex.Message; 15 lblErrorMessage.Visible = true; 16 }
Hi. After inserting data (new row) by using DetailsView control, how to read auto incremented primary key (identity) of this new row from sql database to use it as parameter passed to stored procedure?
I have a sql sever 2005 express table with an automatically incremented primary key field. I use a Detailsview to insert new records and on the Detailsview itemInserted event, i send out automated notification emails. I then received two automated emails(indicating two records have been inserted) but looking at the database, the records are not there. Whats confusing me is that even the tables primary key field had been incremented by two, an indication that indeed the two records should actually be in table. Recovering these records is not abig deal because i can re-enter them but iam wondering what the possible cause is. How come the id field was even incremented and the records are not there yet iam 100% sure no one deleted them. Its only me who can delete a record. And then how come i insert new records now and they are all there in the database but now with two id numbers for those missing records skipped. Its not crucial data but for my learning, i feel i deserve understanding why it happened because next time, it might be costly.
I have a table, let say it is called 'profile', already created without a primary key. Now, I want to add a primary key to one of the fields called serialno on that table. I am currently using EMS SQL Manager 2005 tool to manage my db and tables. When I try to add the primary key, I am getting following error message. "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX terminated because a duplicate key was found for index ID 1. Most significant primary key is ''"
I need help!! Otherwise, I have to create a whole new table and I can't afford do that.
I want to crete temporary table with this coammnd "CREATE TABLE Temp (ID int, name varchar(50))". I would like to know which command is used for setting primary key and identity on ID field. Thankyou in advance.
Hi all!In a insert-trigger I have two joins on the table named inserted.Obviously this construction gives a name collition beetween the twojoins (since both joins starts from the same table)Ofcourse I thougt the usingbla JOIN bla ON bla bla bla AS a_different_name would work, but itdoes not. Is there a nice solution to this problem?Any help appriciated
is there any way of getting the identity without using the "@@idemtity" in sql??? I'm trying to use the inserted event of ObjectDataSource, with Outputparameters, can anybody help me???
I'm doing a data migration job from our old to our new database. The idea is that we don't want to clutter our new tables with the id's of the old tables, so we are not going to add a column "old_system_id" in each and every table that needs to be migrated.
I have created a number of tables in a separate schema "dm" (for Data Migration) that will store the link between the old database table and the new database table. Suppose that the id of a migrated record in the old database is 'XRP002-89' and during the insert into the new table the IDENTITY column id gets the value 1, the link table will hold : old_d = 'XRP002-89', new_id = 1, and so on.
I knew I can get the value of IDENTITY columns with the OUTPUT INTO clause, although I have never actually used it. And now I can't get it to do what I need.
Below is some code to set up three tables: the old table, the new one, and the table that will hold the link between the id's of records in the old database table and the new database table.
Below I tried to use the OUTPUT INSERTED INTO clause. Beside getting the generated IDENTITY value, I also need to capture the value of the old id that will not be migrated to the new table. When I use "OUTPUT DaOldTable.pk" the system gives me the error: "The multi-part identifier "DaOldTable.pk" could not be bound." Using INSERTED .id gives no problem.
Code: INSERT INTO DaNewTable(a_column) --OUTPUT DaOldTable.pk, INSERTED.id link_old2new_DaTable--(DaOld_id, DaNew_id) SELECT a_column FROM DaOldTable
[Code] ...
--but getting "The multi-part identifier "DaOldTable.pk" could not be bound."
DROP TABLE DaOldTable DROP TABLE DaNewTable DROP TABLE link_old2new_DaTable
How can I populate a table that must hold the link between the id's of records in the old database table and the new database table? The records are migrated with set-based inserts.
Uma writes "Hi Dear, I have A Table , Which Primary key consists of 6 columns. total Number of Columns in the table are 16. Now i Want to Convert my Composite Primary key into simple primary key.there are already 2200 records in the table and no referential integrity (foriegn key ) exist.
may i convert Composite Primary key into simple primary key in thr table like this.
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.
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?
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[property_instance] ( [property_instance_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [application_id] [int] NOT NULL , [owner_id] [nvarchar] (100) NOT NULL , [property_id] [int] NOT NULL , [owner_type_id] [int] NOT NULL , [property_value] [ntext] NOT NULL , [date_created] [datetime] NOT NULL , [date_modified] [datetime] NULL )
I have created an 'artificial' primary key, property_instance_id. The 'true' primary key is application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id
In this specific instance - property_instance_id will never be a foreign key into another table - queries will generally use application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id in the WHERE clause when searching for a particular row - Once inserted, none of the application_id, owner_id, property_id or owner_type_id columns will ever be modified
I generally like to create artificial primary keys whenever the primary key would otherwise consist of more than 2 columns.
What do people think the advantages and disadvantages of each technique are? Do you recommend I go with the existing model, or should I remove the artificial primary key column and just go with a 4 column primary key for this table?

Hello, I am stumped on how to get the last id that was inserted. I have searched all over the internet to find the answer but all of them turned up to be classic asp.
while executing this command locally, ita working fine Insert into tblorderDetails (OrderID,ProductID,SofaPackageID,Quantity,UnitPrice,TotalOrd,ItemStatus ) values(1, 3915, 0, 1, 2049.00, 2049.00, 'PO') but when executing online, giving me following msg: (1 row(s) affected) Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid column name 'Location16FreeStock'. and also data is not inserted in table.
I have a program to insert rows into a SQL Server table from an ASCII file. There appears to be some data mapping going on. For example:
"J & J Smith" is imported as "J _J Smith".
This doesn't happen on all servers. I can run it against my database and get the desired results.
I looked into the Server Configuation. Under the Security tab there are Mapping options. It appears that you can map _ to something else, but I don't see where you can map & to anything.
this is my spc: select top 1 u.userid, u.user_name, u.password, c.code_description as role_code, u.expiry_date, u.created_date, u.active, convert(varchar,v. user_date, 103) + ' ' + right('0' + stuff(right(convert(varchar,v.user_date, 109), 14), 8, 4, ''), 10) as user_date, v.operation,h.user_name as updatedby from [usermaster] u inner join [codeMaster] c on 'sp'=c.code inner join [HRUser_developerlog] v on u.userid=v.inserted_id and v.operation='update' inner join [usermaster] h on v.userid=h.userid where u.userid = '3' order by v. user_date
if i use it gives the v.user_date as fist modified date it is not giving last modified date.
I have a dataset that uses generated stored procedures to do its select, insert, update, delete. I am inserting a row to that dataset, and after the update, using the ID of newly created row. This worked just fine until I added triggers to some of the tables on my DB, and now, when I insert a row, the row's ID is not available after the update (it's 0) Any idea what happened / what I have to do to fix this? Thnx!
Hi,I use a Stored Procedure who works very well....INSERT INTO Computers (CategoryID, SubCategoryID, ......VALUES (@CategoryID, @SubCategoryID, .........But as soon as it creates the new row, i want to be able to get the Id (ComputerId) of this row. I use ComputerId as the primary key.How can i do that? I code in VB.Thanks
I'm creating a web application that has user input on 3 seperate pages. Each page prompts the user for specific information and at the bottom of the page the user will click on the "Submit" button to post the info from the form to the database table. Once the user has submitted the first page of information how do I retrieve the ID from the CustID column of that row so I can use the Update function to add additional info to that row when the user clicks on the submit button on page 2 & 3. I don't want to hold all the information in variables until the end in case they bail out of the form. TIA Steve
I've seen a lot of info on how to do this with @@IDENTITY and SCOPE_IDENTITY(), but can't get this to work in my situation. I am inserting a record into a table. The first field is a GUID (UNIQUEIDENTIFIER) that uses newid() to generate a unique GUID. Since I am not using an int, I can't set the IsIdentity property of the field. Without IsIdentity set, @@IDENTITY and SCOPE_IDENTITY() do not work. How can I get the ID (or whole record) of the last record that I inserted into a SQL database? Note that I am doing this in C#. As a last resort, I could generatate the GUID myself before the insert, but I can't find C# code on how to to this.
Hi!

I need to find the record_id of the record I just inserted so that I can display the newly created record id.
Right now it looks like this: (I'm using Cold Fusion to insert and retrieve records, but I think this is an SQL question)
INSERT INTO table (value1, value2, value3) values (value1, value, value3)
Select record_id FROM table WHERE value1 = value1 AND value2 = value2 AND value3 = value3
The problem is when someone puts in the exact same data for values 1 through 3 I get back only the first record_id, not the last one. Maybe that's the trick right there, add an ORDER BY field_id DESC??
I thought MySQL had a way to grab the last inserted record, or return the record_id while I'm still in the insert statement, that would be preferable.
