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.

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
e f g 2

Transact SQL :: How To Return Number Of Records In Query As If TOP Was Not Used

Jul 21, 2015

What I would like to do is to have a TSQL Select return the number of records in the Result as if TOP (n) had not been used. Example:I have a table called Orders containing more than 1.000 records with OrderDate = '2015/07/21' and my client application has a threshold for returning records at 100  and therefore the TSQL would look like

SELECT TOP (100) * FROM Orders Where OrderDate = '2015/07/21'  ORDER by OrderTime Desc

Now I would like to "tell" the client that only 100 of 1.000 records are shown in the client application grid. Is there a way to return a value indicating that if TOP (100) had not been used the resultset would have been 1.000. I know I could create the same TSQL using COUNT() (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Orders Where OrderDate = '2015/07/21'  ORDER by OrderTime Desc) and return that in a variable in the SELECT statement or even creating the COUNT() as a subquery and return it as a column, but I would like to avoid running multiple TSQL's. Since SQL Server already needs to select the entire recordset and sort it (ORDER BY) and return only the first 100 the total number of records in the initial snapshot must somehow be available.

Transact SQL :: Adding Count Before And After A Specific Time Doesn't Match Total Number Of Records

Nov 19, 2015

If I just use a simple select statement, I find that I have 8286 records within a specified date range.

If I use the select statement to pull records that were created from 5pm and later and then add it to another select statement with records created before 5pm, I get a different count: 7521 + 756 = 8277

Is there something I am doing incorrectly in the following sql?

DECLARE @startdate date = '03-06-2015'
DECLARE @enddate date = '10-31-2015'
DECLARE @afterTime time = '17:00'
SELECT
General_Count = (SELECT COUNT(*) as General FROM Unidata.CrumsTicket ct

How To Assign Unique PKs And FKs On Split Of Txt Rows Into DB Tables

Mar 14, 2006

SSIS 2005

Ok, I have a task in SSIS that does the following and works:

1) Brings in a txt file

2) Using a conditional component, checks for a value in the row.

3) Based on the value, splits the row into one of 3 tables (Header, Maintenance, or Payment)

Here is a print screen of what I have so far which splits Header rows into it's own table, Maintenance rows into its own table, and Payment Rows into its own table:

http://www.webfound.net/qst_how_to_add_header_PK_and_FKs.JPG

Here is a print screen of the conditional split:

http://www.webfound.net/conditional_split.jpg

Please take a look at the txt file here before it's processed:

http://www.webfound.net/split.txt

http://www.webfound.net/rows.jpg

Notice that the pattern is a header row, followed by it's corresponding detail rows.  The detail rows are either Maintenance or Payment rows. 

I need to somehow during the Script component or some other way, to assign a unique HeaderID (PK) to each of the header rows and add that ID to it's corresponding Maintenance and Payment detail rows in their corresponding tables as a PK.  The problem is

1) I don't know how to do this in the flow of the components as I have it now

2) How do I tell it to create a new Header ID and Header FKs for the detail rows based off of each new Header row?

In the end (much later on in my entire package), the goal is to be able to run a stored proc to join and select the Header and Details rows back into a final table so I can then do more processing such as split each header and detail rows into their own txt files, etc....I don't need to go into details why but just know that this is the goal, therefore I need to relate each header row with their corresponding detail rows that are split off into a MaintenanceRow and PaymentRowTable

Transact SQL :: Repeatedly Assign Set Of Dates To Each ID?

Nov 18, 2015

I have a table with 3 columns , let say (PatientID  int, AppointmentDate date, PatientName varchar(30))

My source data looks in below way..

PatientID        AppointmentDate      PatientName
  1                 01/01/2012          Tom
  2                 01/10/2012          Sam
  3                 02/15/2012          John

I need output in below way..

PatientID        AppointmentDate      PatientName
  1                 01/01/2012          Tom    (actual patient record)
  null              01/10/2012          Tom
  null              02/15/2012          Tom
  null              01/01/2012          Sam
  2                 01/10/2012          Sam     (actual patient record)
  null              02/15/2012          Sam
    null              01/01/2012          John
  null              01/10/2012          John
  3                 02/15/2012          John     (actual patient record)

I need t-sql to get above output. Basically the appointment dates are repeatedly assigned to each patient but only difference is patientid will be not null for actual patient record.
 
Create table sample (PatientID  int null, AppointmentDate date null, PatientName varchar(30) null)

Insert sample  values (1,'01/01/2012' ,'Tom'),
(2,'01/10/2012','Sam'),
(3,'02/15/2012','John')

Transact SQL :: Recursive Query To Assign Values

Jul 30, 2015

I'm trying to find it difficult to use recursice CTEs or better solution for a special request below. There are two tables 1) @sizes serves as a lookup or reference for right drive and 2) @test is sample data with different sizes. Assume that I want to evenly distribute the drive letters from table1 to table2 by checking the size available.

E.g.: for the first record in  @test; id = 1 where the size is 50 and it fits in Y: drive -- left over space in Y: = 50

id=2, size 2.5, space available from left over = 50 - 2.5 = 47.5 which again fits into Y:
id = 3, size 51, cannot in fit in Y: drive as there is enough space in Y: to allocate (51 > 47.5)

so pick the next drive check on availability again

DECLARE @sizes TABLE (id TINYINT, size DECIMAL(5,2), drive VARCHAR(3))
INSERT INTO @Sizes
SELECT 1,100.00,'Y:'
UNION ALL
SELECT 2,80.85,'Z:'

[Code] ....

-- My output should look like

col1  ,  val ,   path
A          50      Y:
B           2.5    Y:
C          51     Z:
D          2.6    Y:
E          52      Z:
F           2.7    Y:

Unique Transaction Number

Oct 13, 2004

As part of the credit card process I have to supply a unique transaction id.

I thought the best way to do this would be to have a file which just holds a number which I grab and increment each time some one registers. Then if everyting is alright I will write the user's details a long with the transaction id to the User file.

My question is, if two people try to register and both try to grab the next number from the file at the same time, what will happen. Will one get a record lock message, or will it wait untill the other one has finished, or could two people end up with the same number under these circumstances?

I am of course open to suggestions on the best way of approaching this, but please bare in mind that I am only using Web Matrix.

Thanks

Unique Confirmation Number

Jan 23, 2008

Hi to alll of you, i'm working in a project to save cars information, when the user who adds on the new record enter all the data, this will need to be printed with a particulary number, which needs to be unique, (lets take a passport number as an example) this generated number will takes some info from the filling fields, for example:

Cars Brand: BMW (catalog number: 120)
Cars Model: 325 (catalog number: 30)
Year: 2008 (catalog number: 18)

So the unique certification number will takes from the catalog numbers * 20 / 5 for example for cars Brand
for Cars Modelo: catalog number *3 + 15


CERTIFICATE NUMBER: 480-105

I'm not sure if this is possible.

I will realy thanks for your help in this issue.
Best Regards

New Unique Number In History Table

May 23, 2008

Hello,
I am using SQL Server 2005 and am having trouble with making a history table like mentioned in my earlier thread:

http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=102811

This is the table "People" I have created:

|PersonId (PK)|DateFrom (PK)|DateTo|PersonName|Other Attributes....

Each change to a person's attributes results in a new row formed with the same PersonId as in the row with old attributes and the Date these new attributes are valid (DateFrom). So as shown above the Primary Key is a combination of the PersonId and DateFrom as a change to a person's attributes should never happen at the same time twice.

My problem is when I want to create a new person, how do I get a new unique id? Ideally I want the a new incremented id, so that all peoples' ids are in a sequential order.

As always, thanks for the help!

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 ?

Re-populate A Unique Number Into Multiple Fields

Oct 14, 2004

What I need to do is re-populate a unique number into multiple fields,

Let me explain, An employee can appear in the first table only once but can be in the second table multiple times with multiple employee numbers .There is a field called TFN that is unique and we are using it to create a unique id called KRid so what I have done is created 2 tables namely TEST_TBL and TEST2_TBL . In TEST_TBL I am populating a KRid with a unique no being produced by the TFN field only once i.e 12345 being the resulting unique id number. If an employee has 2 employee numbers i.e empno 1 and empno 1000,only employee no 1 will have the unique KRid created but nothing for 1000 because the record already exists , so what has me stumped is that the TFN for employee empno 1 and the TFN for empno 1000 are the same. How do I get the KRid (12345 from empno 1) to populate empno 1000 in TEST2_TBL , The second table has all records in so I can group the second table by TFN id but how do I populate employee 1000 in the second table with the KRid 12345.


Please help!!!!! Below are how the tables are set up and an example of the result.

TABLE 1

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[TEST_TBL]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[TEST_TBL]
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TEST_TBL] (
[Empl_Num] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[Surname] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[First_Name] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[Mid_Name] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[Hours_Day] [numeric](18, 2) NULL ,
[Hours_Wk] [numeric](18, 2) NULL ,
[KR_ID] [bigint] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[TFN] [char] (32) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL ,
[Date_Term] [datetime] NULL ,
[Empl_Type] [int] NULL ,
[Cost_Centre] [char] (32) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL ,
[Empl_Status] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

TABLE 2

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[TEST2_TBL]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
drop table [dbo].[TEST2_TBL]
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TEST2_TBL] (
[EmpNumber] [char] (32) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL ,
[TFN] [char] (32) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL ,
[KR_ID] [char] (10) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL ,
[EmpStatus] [int] NULL ,
[EmpType] [int] NULL ,
[CommonName] [char] (32) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

Query goes as follows for table 1:

SELECT NPE000.EmpNumber, NPET00.RecordStatus, NPE000.KR_ID, NPE000.Surname, NPE000.FirstName, NPE000.SecondName, NPE000.Class, NPE000.DateEmployed, NPE000.DateOfBirth, NPE000.HoursPerDay, NPE000.HoursPerWeek, NPE000.PassportNo, NPE000.AwardCode, NPE000.EmailPayslipTo, NPE000.Location, NPE000.Grade, NPE000.DateTerminated, NPE000.EmploymentType, NPE000.DistCode, NPE000.EmpStatus, NPET00.TaxRefNo FROM NPE000 NPE000, NPET00 NPET00 WHERE NPET00.RecordStatus = 0 and NPET00.TaxRefNo <> ' 111111111' and NPET00.TaxRefNo <> ' 000000000' AND LENGTH(NPET00.TaxRefNo) >= 9 AND LENGTH(NPE000.KR_ID) >= 0 AND NPE000.EmpNumber = NPET00.EmpNumber


Query goes as follows for table 2:

SELECT NPE000.EmpNumber, NPE000.FirstName, NPE000.Surname, NPE000.Class, NPE000.Location, NPE000.EmploymentType, NPE000.EmpStatus, NPET00.TaxRefNo, NPE000.Paypoint, NPE000.KR_ID, FROM NPE000, NPET00 WHERE Recordstatus = 0 and (EmploymentType = 1 AND EmpStatus = 1 AND NPE000.EmpNumber = NPET00.EmpNumber


From this you can see that in table 1 it will only create 1 KR_ID for only one employee number but in table 2 I am bringing through all employee records. In table 2 I can group by NPET00.TaxRefNo which will bring all NPET00.TaxRefNo's togeather. From that I would like to populate the other employee numbers with the unique KR_ID.

Example:Table 1

000001,Jackson,James,Sam,7.6,38,12345,475431212


Example:Table 2

000001,Jackson,James,Sam,7.6,38,12345,475431212
001000,Jackson,James,Sam,7.6,38,,475431212

I hope this helps

from the database this gives me a COUNT of 22, it should only be 10. I am doing a join and it gives the total records in the two tables where I only want the total in the left table(patient).
How can I GROUP BY patient.patientID in a COUNT query

Thanx, Robson

Sequencial, Unique Number Tied To Header, Locking Q?

Sep 23, 2006

I have a situation where for a given customer, their invoices need to be sequentially numbered, without gaps.

Customer A Invoice 1,2,3,4 ...
A-1
A-2
A-3
A-4

Customer B:
B-1
B-2

etc.

The issue is 2 people creating an invoice for the same customer at the same time. Currently I don't assign the Invoice number until the user hits 'Save'. At that time I query for max(invoiceno) against the customer key and simply add 1. it's the last operation prior to saving against the backend.

If 2 users hit Save at the exact time, I'm getting the same (duplicated) Invoice Number.

What suggestions/techniques do you have to resolve this? Would "locking" of the customer record and storing the last highest invoice there play a part?

Thanks,

Peter
