Unwanted Auto-incrementing
Aug 17, 2006
Here is a simplified version of my problem:
I am inserting data into a table using a stored procedure. The table has an identity column that increments with each insert. When I use erroneous data in the other fields the insert fails….no surprises there! But when the next insert occurs with valid data I find that my identity field has increased even with those inserts that failed, so my sequence has jumped a few numbers. How do I get the identity inserts to roll back if the rest of the data in a row doesn’t insert successfully?

My SQL table has the
following columns:
ID – Auto IncrementingNumber_of_Records – IntAccount_Number – Varchar
(Format 1234)Account_Number_Instance – Varchar
(Format e.g. 1234-01)Other_Field1Other_Field2…etc.
When the Account_Number was
initially inserted into the table, a Stored procedure (not written be me) was used to concatenate the Account_Number
and Number_of_Records. As a result
the Account_Number_Instance became,
e.g. 1234-01, etc.
From the ASPX form we
retrieve each of the fields above, and based on the Number_of_Records an
appropriate number of records were inserted for the Account_Number.
For Example:
Account_Number = 12345Number_of_Records = 4
The result inserted into the
table were as follows:
ID # of Records Acct_Number
New_Num Acct_Number_Instance …
1 4 12345 12345-01
2 4 12345 12345-02
3 4 12345 12345-03
4 4 12345 12345-04
Now, I would like to UPDATE
this table, and based on the original Number_of_ Records (4) I want to ADD, for
Account_Number (1234) add an appropriate Number_of_Instances, beginning with
the next incremental number and adding what the New Number of Records input is…
For Example:
Account_Number = 12345 New_Num(ber_Of Records) = 3
ID # of Records Acct_Number New_Num Acct_Number_Instance …
1 4 12345 12345-01
2 4 12345 12345-02
3 4 12345 12345-03
4 4 12345 12345-04
5 12345 3 12345-05
6 12345 3 12345-06
7 12345 3 12345-07
I
do realize that the next time I have to update this Account_Number I am also
going to have to somehow ADD only one of the #_of_Records and New_Num for the
Acct_Number instances to obtain the next starting number, which in the example
above would be (8)…
Any
and all suggestions on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I have a database table. I need to set a particular data field to allow for Auto Incrementing. Basically I need to set up the initial integer value to start at. Then to specify the amount to increment by.
What I have done so far is to right click on the field name in SQL Server 2005. Then, on the pop-up menu I select the menu option for properties.
When the properties are displayed I see some fields listed in dark grey but I am not able to edit these fields. In other words, if I try to type text in this field, nothing happens. The fields I am talking about are:
Identity Increment
Identity Seed
Is Identity
Does anyone know what the problem is? What do I have to do to edit these fields.

I am porting a database from Informix to SQL Server 2000. Several fields in the informix database are specified as SERIAL, which means that they auto-increment auto-magically if you insert a 0 into them. Well...I was looking for an equivalent in SQL Server 2000, and thought I had found it in the IDENTITY column concept.
With further investigation into IDENTITY columns, however, I discovered that only one column per table can be given the IDENTITY property. Why is this? Is there a way around that? If not, is there another way to achieve this feature in SQL Server 2000? If not, any suggestions on how I can do it?
Thanks!

My Identity value column is not autoincrementing, its seed is set to 1, and increment set to 1.
yet when i click the auto generated 'Add New Record' button in the BindingNavigator control set (in a form where it is populated with databound text boxes), this Identity column is not auto incremented?
And if i try to write a value to this column, i get the error telling me this column cannot be written to. Yet if i do not write to it, then i get "This column does not allow nulls"
To load my data i am using:
Code Snippet
'clear dataset
Me.DsQuote.Clear()
'fill the datagrid with data from tblQuoteID
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DsQuote.tblQuoteID)
and to save data im using:
Code Snippet
Me.Validate()
'end data edit
Me.TblQuoteIDBindingSource.EndEdit()
'update the dataset with table data
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Update(DsQuote.tblQuoteID)
anything im doing wrong? this data is being viewed in a datagrid btw.
cheers

Hi,
I have an auto incrementing int column setup which serves as my unique primary key. Just wondering what happens when the auto increment reaches the limit? Will it recycle numbers from the begining (who's rows have obviously been deleted by this stage)?

Hi All,
I need to set up a kind of identity insert that gives an output in the format: 00001, 00002, 00003 etc. Is there a formatting option for this sort of output using normal identity insert features or do I need to write a function to insert these values (perhaps as text) each time a new record is created?
Sorry if this is really simple but it's only my 4th day in this job!

We have upgraded our SQL 2008 server to 2012 last month. i've noted since then that many tables that have auto increment primary key bigint field increases by 1 like it should, then for some reason it jumps up by 1000 or even 10000? i have seed adn auto increment set to 1 but doesnt effect it. Is there anything that could be causing the next value to jump that much?

Along with the data that I am pulling back from query, I also need to provide an ImportID column with the following requirements:
YYMMDDGP0001, YYMMDDGP0002, YYMMDDGP0003, and so on. The 0001, 0002, and 0003 part could get big into the hundreds of thousands.
I have the YYMMDDGP part down with the following expression:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), GETDATE(), 12) + 'GP' AS [ImportID]
Now I need to get the Auto Incrementing number part of this. I have been researching this trying SELECT INTO a temp table using the Identity Function and declaring different variables all with no luck.

I need some help for designing the IDs / Primary keys for some master tables in my database. Following are master tables. Client_Master, Buyer_Master & Seller_Master; I want to set Client_Id, Buyer_Id & Seller_Id as their respective primary keys and they should have following properties
Client_Id :- a) should be auto-incrementing value, b) unique & c)should be of the format – CLXXXXXX, where “CL” {Constant start characters} & “X” {any number 0-9}
Similarly::
Buyer_Id :- BYXXXXXX
Seller_Id :- SLXXXXXX
We are implementing the database in MS-SQL 2005 & MySQL
Can anyone help me find a solution to this, especially in MS-SQL.

I need to auto increment an alphanumeric field in a table.
The process is as follows:
1. First position is static letter C for contact or static letter A for account - field contact_id
2. The following 6 positions are numeric - example of the string would be C004658
3. When new contact is entered, it should look up the highest numeric value (in this case 004658) and increment it by one - resulting in C004659

Hi All,I am trying to delete rows from a table using a SQL statement similarto this:DELETE FROM TableA where ID1 IN(Select ID1 From TableB where ID2>= @min and ID2<=@max)Basically I want to delete all rows from TableA that have an ID in arange in TableB. This is done in a stored proc.When I look at the execution plan, it is using the indexes as I wouldhope for. The problem is that it is doing a sort which accounts for73% of the cost. I do not need to sort the results. I don't care whatorder they are deleted in.How can I prevent the sort from occuring? I need this delete to occuras fast as possible.Thanks In Advance

I've created an asp.net page that takes the content of text boxes and writes them to a sql table.
The problem is that when I examine the resulting data in the SQL database, I find that the fields written to have had padding added (up to the maximum size of the fields).
I was under the impression that fields of type NVARCHAR did not store padding (only the no of characters being stored).
I've checked it's not the text boxes on the aspx page by explicitly posting values instead of the boxes content and the same thing happens.

Hi ,
I have lot of SQL logins which do not have access to any databases . They do not show any database access when i check their properties .
My server is SQL 7.0 with SP 3 .
I want to clean up those logins with the help of script instead of deleting every login manually which is time consuming as i have to check the database access before deleting the login.
Is there any where script available or any other way to delete these unnecessary logins ? Also will it be a problem on the SQL Server if i delete those logins at one command ?
Any info. will be helpful to me.
Thanks

Hello, I have a report that is based on a dynamic column. The column is specified by the user, and the column tyep may be text, datetime, or bigint. The user specifies the column name, and there is also a parameter that specifies the type. I allow my users to format the date via passing in a date format string, so my code looks something like:
=Switch
(
Parameters!primarycolumntype.Value = "text",
Fields(Parameters!primaryitemcolumn.Value).Value,
Parameters!primarycolumntype.Value = "date",
[DO DATE FUNCTIONS HERE, e.g. Year(Fields(Parameters!primaryitemcolumn.Value).Value)],
Parameters!primarycolumntype.Value = "numeric",
Fields(Parameters!primaryitemcolumn.Value).Value
)
The trouble I am running into is that I am getting invalid date conversion errors whenever a text value is being supplied - in other words, the code in the "DO DATE FUNCTIONS HERE" is being executed regardless of whether my primary column type parameter is text OR date. It would appear that all conversion fuctions are calculated at runtime prior to running other logic. If so, this is a bad thing for me, as that means I cannot mix data types in the same report and figure it out all dynamically. Is this true? I had always thought that the date code (in the example above, the call to Year()) would not be executed unless that statement in the switch statement was true. I've had the same luck with If statements, and Choose statements, and I've even tried using custom code.
I think my whole problem relates to a misunderstanding of how the functions are processed. Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks!
Michael

I wanted to know hoe can we delete those unwanted entries. If i select the entry and right click on it , there is no delete option .
Are those entries to be deleted from one of the tables at the subscriber or the publisher ? If yes, then what is the name of the table ?

I have some code that sorts a column logically even if it contains both numbers and text. But I've found that SQL converts certain characters automatically....
Here is the code...
SELECT * FROM TABLE
order by
case when isnumeric(fieldname)=1 then
right(replicate(' ', 10 ) + convert(varchar,convert(numeric(10),fieldname)),10)
else fieldnameend --10 is the length of the field
The issue I've run across is that if my column contains the following strings(5D000,5E000,4E001) it thinks they are numeric then the THEN part of the condition causes a typecasting error....
I found out that any certain combinations of number + E or D + 0. Does anyone know a way to get around this? Try it out select isnumeric('5E0303') will return 1

Hi All,
We've got a basic query that pulls a list of some parts out of our inventory database:
SELECT p21_view_inv_mast.item_id, p21_view_inv_mast.item_desc, p21_view_inv_loc.gl_account_no
FROM dbo.p21_view_inv_loc p21_view_inv_loc, dbo.p21_view_inv_mast p21_view_inv_mast
WHERE p21_view_inv_loc.inv_mast_uid = p21_view_inv_mast.inv_mast_uid
This returns a lot of info over three columns: "item_id" "item_desc" and "gl_account_no"
What I want to do is remove any entries where the "gl_account_no" shows as 011500000
I am by no means a TSQL person, I mostly run the canned queries that our vendor gives us so any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a need to create a report that has a graph at the top and a table at the bottom. The graph at the top can optionally be made hidden because they cause problems when exported to Excel as images. However, when I set the Hidden property of the graph to true, positions of all items on the report remain absolute. Meaning of course that the table that is located half-way down the page remains half-way down the page and there is a lot of nothing on the first half where the graph used to be.
It would be desirable to have the ability to have the table move up when the graph is not visible, however it obviously doesn't do it automatically and also refuses me the ability to change the position with an expression.
Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

Since upgrading from SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2, I've noticed that it no longer autosaves queries that have not been manually saved first. If a file has been manually saved the autorecover files end up in the following directory:
%appdata%MicrosoftSQL Server Management Studio11.0AutoRecoverDatSolution1
However, I have ended up in the situation where I have unsaved queries when my computer has crashed and have not been able to recover them.
I have also found references to .sql files stored in temp files in the following directory, but the files here seem to be very haphazardly caught:

This a microsoft SQL 2000 server.
I have a DB with mutliple tables that have a column called "Date_stamp", which is used as a primary ID.
Here is my problem:
Some of tables have a bad datetime entry for the "Date_stamp". The bad entry is '2008-3-18". I need to delete this entry from every single table that has a name similary to 'Elect_Sub%Daily'.
I know how to get the user table names from the DB as follows:
SELECT name
FROM dbo.sysobjects
WHERE xtype = 'U' and name like 'Elect_Sub%Daily'
What I need to do is have a query that will basically scroll through the tables name produced by the above query and search and delete the entries that read '2008-3-18".
delete from tableName where Date_Stamp = '2008-3-18'

I have a third party app that passes parameters (main dataset query) from the app to SSRS. Â Unfortunately, when the parameters are passed from the app they will contain equal signs ("=") in front of each parameter. Â For example, the parameters that may be passed to the main dataset query should be:
"HYDRO, OKO, ONEPL, TECHNI"
However, the parameters that are passed from the app, get to SSRS as:
"=HYDRO, =OKO, =ONEPL, =TECHNI"
Again, this is for the main dataset query and there may be one parameter or there may be any number of them.
Basically, I need to strip the "=" signs from the parameters. whether there is one parameter or ten.
I believe that I will need a custom function to strip the equal signs?
