T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Convert Unique Identifier From String To Use In A Join / Where Clause
Jan 6, 2015
I am wanting to get the job name based on sys.sysProcesses.[Program_name] column. Why is this query not returning any results even though the 2nd substringed guids are found the the sysJobs table?
SELECTCASE
WHEN RTRIM([program_name]) LIKE 'SQLAgent - TSQL JobStep (Job %' THEN J.Name
ELSE RTRIM([program_name])
END ProgramName

Here's a problem description I read on another post but I have the same issue:
I am trying to Import Data from a csv file into a SQL Sever table. The Data being imported has a Unique Identifier in it but it is being considered as DT_WSTR datatype in SSIS
When i directly try to import, it gives an error:
The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
I Tried to use Data Conversion to convert it to DT_GUID and import into SQL Server table but it again throws the above error. Anyone has a clue?
I need to write a SQL script where a join condition is using date columns (effective_date, ineffective_date). The effective date columns can be slightly different (e.g. differ by a day) for some rows of data. I need the join condition to accommodate these date differences and return these rows of data as well.
I have a table which uses multiple joins to create another table but it turns out that the effective_date which is used in the join to match row together does not work all the time since some of the dates for the effective date column are out of sync meaning records that show data as missing even when the other table contains the data. I tried the SQL script below using the BETWEEN clause but it returning 6 rows instead of 3–
I have a SQL query where am using WHERE clause as a result of which the NULL values are getting filtered...can u please help me to tranform this query into LEFT OUTER JOINS so as to avoid this filtration....my query is
SELECT A.JOINT_ID,A.SIZE_NBMM,A.ISFIELDJOINT,A.WELDTEST_CRI_ID,C.LINE_ID,D.TESTLEVELNO,E.COMPLETE FROM EALPS_DRWREVSPLJTS
A,EALPS_DRW_REV_SPL B,EALPS_DRW_REV_LINE C,EALPS_WELDTESTCRIT D,EALPS_ACTV_SEQ E WHERE B.SPOOL_ID=A.SPOOL_ID AND
B.LINE_ID=C.LINE_ID AND D.WELD_TEST_CRIT_ID=A.WELDTEST_CRI_ID AND E.ACTIVITY_CODE='VT' AND E.JOINT_ID=A.JOINT_ID
This is because a date of 04/16/2014 will show as 160416 in the first part of the field I need to parse it out of, thus becoming 04162014.
From there I then need to convert this "date" into a legitimate SQL datetime type, so that I can then run a DATEDIFF to compare it to when the record was actually entered, which is a separate field in the table, and already in datetime format.
When I use the below statement, I am getting the message that, "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."
I have following script which i am planning to run to drop all non-clustered primary keys on a database and then created as clustered. I am using someone else's script so don't know how to modify this. Some of primary key columns are used in references in other tables.
is there anyway i can drop the existing primary keys and using their original script then create again as clustered including restoring all foreign and reference keys and unique or no unique.
DECLARE @table NVARCHAR(512), @tablename NVARCHAR(512), @sql NVARCHAR(MAX), @sql2 NVARCHAR(MAX), @sql3 NVARCHAR(MAX), @column NVARCHAR(MAX); DECLARE @indexname NVARCHAR(512); SELECT name As 'Table'
I'm trying to create a unique identifier number that meets the following criteria. The unique identifier needs to be a concatenation of two values submitted from a form and the identity value (primary key) for the new record that is inserted into the database.
So, if the first field is the year and the second field is a objnumber, the unique identifier number would have the format: ("YR" + "objnumber" + primary key value), where the year and object number are what the user selected in the form.
I have a stored procedure that I use to handle the insert, which also returns @@identity for the purpose of passing that value into another stored procedure that inserts child records.
So, within my stored procedure, is there a way I can create the unique identifier number and return that value back to the application? I'm not sure how to accomplish this?
I am working on some tables and would like to know which is best way to go when deciding what Type to use for Unique ID in my tables please. Int Or uniqueIdentifier? Or is it all the same??
Hi there,I'm new to sql server. I've created a table which can be updated through an aspx form. However coming from an access background I don't know how to generate an auto number. I've read through a number of the threads on here and keep coming across Identity or unique identifier. However I can't actually find out how to implement these.Any help would be greatCheersStu
Hello!I work with oracle, mySQL but im completely new to SQLserver.How can i set a auto-increment unique variable for userID ?After deleted user, the userID should be never used again on a new user.Thank you,
Does anyone know if there is a read-only unique identifier of a database in a given server instance? E.g. a value stored somewhere in the database meta data that is generated during CREATE DATABASE...
I need to develop a strong licensing solution based on the database accessed... Currently our solution is easily hackable because the the license information is kept in the database of your choice and is not dependant on some static information, the current encryption key is static and kept in the software so it can be hacked easily. What i want to do to change this is simple in nature but i don't know how to get that one particular info i need. I want to get some kind of unique identifier for a database (catalog) that sql server could generate. This info must be static and must not be movable. If for example, someone would backup and restore, this information would not be transfered with the backup. Thus, a user that backups his database and restores it on another database server or another database catalog even on the same server would corrupt his license since the Unique ID returned by the SQL Server would be different; the hashing code would change and thus the decryption would fail. Is there any such info i can query using SQL that will not require admin rights?
I'd like to know the current value of my uniqueID column before Icreate a new record.Is there a way to find out this value?It is numeric in my case, but I can't just look for the MAX value,since some records may have been deleted, and the value for theuniqueID still stays at the higher value.Is there a way to read this internally kept value?
Hi guysI'm having a nasty problem with bulk copying into a table that hasunique identifier column. I'm coding on C++, using ODBC driver.I'm coping from a file containing UID description like this:{43B5B3DE-5280-4CBF-B357-D9E57651F0D1}(I also tried a non-bracket version)and in the DB table I get:4233347B-4235-4433-452D-353238302D34which seems random at first sight, but it is:[B34{]-[B5]-[D3]-[E-]-[5280-4] - with chars read binary as hex.and my question is: what the hell?my code look like this:if (bcp_init (m_hDbproc,tableName, NULL, NULL, DB_IN) == FAIL)ret = -1;if (bcp_bind (m_hDbproc, (LPCBYTE)data, 0, 16, (LPCBYTE)NULL, 0,SQLUNIQUEID, colNo) == FAIL){ret = -1;}(I also tried a VARLEN version:)if (bcp_bind (m_hDbproc, (LPCBYTE)data, 0, SQL_VARLEN_DATA,(LPCBYTE)delimiter, 1, SQLVARCHAR, colNo) == FAIL){ret = -1;}and then stuff like sendrow ans save:if (bcp_sendrow(m_hDbproc) == FAIL)return -1;if (bcp_batch (m_hDbproc) == -1)return -1;I also tried specyfiling the column type in the m_hDbproc handle asSQLUNIQUEID, but either I'm doing something wrong, or this just isn'tthe way of a bulk copy samurai:INT * pValue=new INT;INT *pLen=new INT;*pValue=0x24;bcp_setcolfmt(m_hDbproc,1,BCP_FMT_TYPE,pValue,4);So like, PLEASE help me on this. I need to get this working by lastmonday :]Thanx, M.
Using SQL Server 2014 i try to merge data from database [Susi] on server2 to database [Susi] on server1. Server2 is a linked server in server1. The PK of the table Core.tKontakte is uniqueidentifier with rowguidcol.
I wrote the following script and get error 206: "uniqueidentifier ist inkompatibel mit int".
INSERT Core.tKontakte (KontaktID, AnredeID, Titel, Nachname) SELECT KontaktID, AnredeID, Titel, Nachname FROM [Susi].MSCMS.Core.tKontakte AS Client WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT KontaktID FROM Core.tKontakte AS Host WHERE Host.KontaktID = Client.KontaktID);
Function GUID() As String GUID = System.GUID.NewGuid().ToString() End Function
GUID is always 36 characters, for example:
1737be72-fe96-4c3c-b455-3730b049bef9
What the best way to store this in a MS SQL database? I'm thinking of using a fixed length string (char). Is there a better way than to just store this 36 character field?
I would like to pass an unique identifier (UserID) to a Crystal Reportfrom a SQL stored procedure. I found an article from Business Objectsabout this issue, but I couldn't get my head around it's hard codedexample.Does anyone have an example of this? Would I need to also create aparameter in my Crystal Report?Help appreciated.Steve*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
May I know what does the syntax of inserting data into a field of type Unique Identifier look like?
[code] INSERT INTO THAI_MK_MT_Log(GUID, Status) VALUES ('2331486348632', 'S') [/code]
The "2331486348632" is to be inserted into a unique identifier field. If i coded the insert statement as the above, I got an error saying that "Syntax error converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier".....
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...
I have a list of movies that show throughout the year. I would like to assign a unique numeric identifier to each text field.
I have provided some sample data with the output I would like. The Movie_ID in the sample data is just made up, feel free to assign any numeric identifier, preferably of the same length but not a necessity.
I am doing migration from oracle11g to SQL server2012. Facing error while data migration from Oracle rowid dat typeto SQL uniqueidentifier using SSMA6.0
Errors: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type uniqueidentifier of the specified target column.
As you can I have a uniqueidentifier (UniqueId) column which I populate with NewID() I'm trying to return this as I need it for other functionality of the website but I can't figure out how I can get it after the insert has completed?
I developed a main report containing numerous subreports. But now I'm trying to page break on these subreports and because these subreports all have sub-sub reports, I get this error when I try to run this report..The value '22' is invalid. Valid values are between '0' and '1'. (rrRenderingError)..I am grouping on uniqueidentifers and I do not get errors on subreports that have sub-subreports. How can I avoid this error and get these subreports to page break? (I don't get any errors if I remove the page breaks).
Hi ! I have a problem with the unique identifier and don't know how to solve it. I have a stored procedure, called from my ASP.NET page, which inserts a new record into a table. I need to get the Id of the row just inserted in order to use it as a parameter of another stored procedure which inserts a new row with this value and other values. I tried with SCOPE_IDENTITY but i don't know how to ask for this value to the first stored procedure and stored it into an ASP variable. Dim cmd As New SqlCommand cmd.CommandText = "Insertar_Contacto" cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmd.Connection = connect Thanks!!
I am new to MDM profisee tool and currently working for Addres verification project for my organization.I wanted to clear my doubts here about Unique Identifer in Stage table and how it works.. Here what i understand till now:
Step 1) I created an Entity using MDM profisee UI and it generated a stage table in MDS database called stg.Address_leaf Step 2) I have loaded data from external source to MDS stage table using ETL and passed Import type as 2 and Import status id as 0 Step 3) I have run store procudure system generated something stg.udp_Address_leaf to load the model and passed the version name as Version_1, Log flag as '1' and Batch tag as 'Address'
Now my below are my questions: 1) What is the field i can use in MDS stage table to populate my unique intifier value coming from source? (lets say Address_Id is my Unique value for all the records coming from source) 2) Where/how Unique Identifier is useful in this process? Will this be useful in next time load from stage to Model? 3) If i truncate and load my MDS stage table in next run and few earlier records has been updated how it will update those records in Model? will this process (code present in SP) recognize by Unique Identier column present in MDS stage table?
