Transact SQL :: Merge With Unique Identifier As PK
Jul 2, 2015
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);
I'm trying to use merge data from a staging table to a production table. There are a lot of duplicate values for serverName and I only want to insert one instance where there are duplicates.
How I can adapt the code I have so far to achieve this?
MERGE tblServer AS TARGET USING tblTemp AS SOURCE ON (TARGET.serverName = SOURCE.serverName)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET TARGET.serverName = SOURCE.serverName, TARGET.serverLocation = SOURCE.serverLocation
WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET THEN INSERT (serverName, serverLocation) VALUES (SOURCE.serverName, SOURCE.serverLocation)
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.
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

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 , Val1.UqID , Val1.UqIDStr
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?
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 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?
For example sake I removed the actual text, but this gets the point across as to what I want to do, but it throws this error
Msg 103, Level 15, State 4, Line 2 The identifier that starts with 'abc cde fghijkllmalama aljkjlkj alkjkljlkjkljk aljkljlkljk aljkascnalk alkjasdlkjlkajsd asdljklkasdjflkjasdf alkjasqquiouoie oiu' is too long. Maximum length is 128.
So I was looking at the code for the proc created by Ola's script and noticed a number of variable declarations happening early on (like at line 10) but these variable declarations do not have the DECLARE keyword prefacing the variable identifier.
Then, a couple lines lower, a new batch of variables are declared, but this time with the DECLARE keyword. I was under the impression that you always needed the DECLARE. Is it a scope thing? Like related to the fact the first set of variables are before the stored proc's begin statement?
USE [master] GO /****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[DatabaseBackup] Script Date: 7/20/2015 2:23:36 PM ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[DatabaseBackup]
I have existing table which is having Set Quoted Identifier Off and Set Ansi Null
Now I want to change those setting so Is there any alter statement for the same?
Also Let's say At my database level If those settings are off and If I convert it to ON then It is not taking effect on existing tables SP which are already build.
i have 3 tables (T1, T2, T3), each with the same structure: ID1 -> char(10) ID2 -> char(12) NULL ID3 -> char(10) Value1 -> money Value2 -> money Value3 -> money Note1 -> Text Note2 -> Text
ID1+ID2+ID3 is the clusterd unique key in each table
what i want: ID1, ID2, ID3 (with distinct occurencies of all 3 tables), T1.Value2, T2.Value2, T2.Value3, T3.Value1, T3.Note1
what i tried is to get all possible rows with
SELECT ID1,ID2,ID3 FROM T1 UNION SELECT ID1,ID2,ID3 FROM T2 UNION SELECT ID1,ID2,ID3 FROM T3
but i dont know how to join or add the other columns. maybe with
WITH RowList (ID1,ID2,ID3) AS ( ... code above.... ) SELECT ...
I have a slight problem which I'm sure must be a common happening. Here's my problem.
I'm using Merge replication and I have a table the has a unique contraint on a non primary key column (the column is called [name]). The thing that goes wrong (for me) is that when a new record is added in a subscriber and a new record is added in the publisher before a synchronization and both records have the same [name] value then when the merge agent runs I get an unresolved conflict because of a unique index violation.
I've read the BOL and I'm left thinking that in order to solve this problem then I must use a custom resolver. Is this the best way of handling such a conflict? Actually if it is I'm still a little stuck as I'm not sure what I could do to help the situation inside the custom resolver anyway!!
We are currently attempting to (Merge) replicate a database between 2 servers; distributor and subscriber. Apparently there are no Primary Keys in the database, and without the input of the developers, we can only assume that data integrity must be maintained by the application and the database is somewhat generic. In any case, what we are experiencing is that when we attempt to replicate, and you may know, you need PKs. Without any, SQL Server has utilized it's own (Row GUIDs). The Snapshot worked fine, but the merge agent reports error 1505.
The error is "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX terminated because a duplicate key was found for index ID %d. Most significant primary key is '%S_KEY'."
The fix and workaround are SP2 and deselecting Unique in the index propoerties of the index raising the error. We already had SP2 on the system. Tried the other and still the same issue occurs.
Microsoft's Knowledgebase has nothing. Any suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I have a doubt about the behaviour of SQL Server 2005 in the situation I'm going to describe you. Suppose that you have a SQL Server 2005 database on your PC, and suppose that this database has a table with a column classified as "unique" (so it's impossible for this table to contain 2 records having the same value in this column). Suppose that you publish this database and you create 2 SQL Server Mobile 2005 subscriptions on 2 Pocket PCs. Suppose now that the first PPC (using an embedded program) creates a record with a certain value for the column (and adds it to the table), and the second PPC makes the same thing (it inserts a record with the same column value of the first PPC). At this point, you connect the 2 PPCs to your PC (one by one, of course), to synchronize (using merge replication) the databases...
WHAT HAPPENS??? Does an error raise? Must you give a publication setting in which you say that, if this situation occurs, PC SQL Server holds the last (or the first, as you decide) record acquired? Is it possible?
