Update Column With Increasing Sequential Numbers

Feb 18, 2008

Here is my problem. I have a table with 4 columns id1,id2,id3,boxnum. Here is some sample data.

id1 id2 id3 boxnum
1 1 1

1 1 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
1 2 1
2 2 2
2 3 4

What I need is to be able to update boxnum with sequential numbers based on the unique set of values from the id columns. So my output would be this.

id1 id2 id3 boxnum
1 1 1 1

1 1 1 2
1 2 1 1
1 2 1 2
1 2 1 3
2 2 2 1
2 3 4 1

I Need To Update A Table With Random Numbers Or Sequential Numbers

Mar 11, 2008

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.

Thanks for any help

Query Help - Sequential Numbers

Apr 27, 1999

I have a query which returns information about transactions similar to this:

Select account, trans_code, quantity
from ledger_table

This returns something like:

acct trans_code quantity
----- ---------- ------------
2 2 1000
2 3 500
2 3 300
3 2 100
3 2 500
etc.

What I need to do is add a lot number for each acct/trans code type. This is merely a sequential number for the transaction. This changes the output as follows:

acct trans_code quantity lot
----- ---------- ------------ ---
2 2 1000 1
2 3 500 1
2 3 300 2
3 2 100 1
3 2 500 2
3 3 1000 3
3 5 200 1
etc.

The lot number is reset for each grouping.

Does anyone have a way to do this outside of a cursor or temp table?

TIA, any help greatly appreciated.

Populating Empty Table With Sequential Numbers?

Jan 15, 2015

I have a column within a table which is already truncated/deleted all records within (Microsoft SQL 2008). I have to now populate the column with sequential numbers up to 50,000 records arbitrary numbers (doesn't mater) up to 7 characters.

what SQL statement I need to write that will automatically polulate the newly empty table with A000001,A0000002,A0000003, or any form for that matter etc so that I can sort number the records within the table.

I have approximately 50000 records which I need to sequentially entered and I really dont want to number the column manually via hand editing.

SQL Query - Find Block Of Sequential Numbers

Jul 20, 2005

I have a database that is pre-populated with sequential part numbers.As people reserve the parts I update a flag to show the # is no longeravailable. Now they want the ability to take out a block of "x"number of sequential part numbers - say for example 5.If my database had the following numbers available:101104105110111112113114It should return 110 thru 114 and then I would write an update queryto change the flags to 1 (checked out).I have only been able to return the first "x" number of records - havenot been able to make sure they are stepped sequentially - with thefollowing:SELECT ID_ITEM From PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL M Where (Select Count(*)FROM PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL NWHERE N.ID_ITEM <= M.ID_ITEM) >= 0 AND TYPE_REC=1 ANDFLAG_CHECKED_OUT=0 {maxrows 5}The above would return 101, 104, 105, 110, 111I tried using an (N.ID_ITEM+1)-M.ID_ITEM=0 to try stepping and geterrors, probably incorrect syntax. Can I do this in an SQL statement?

Formatting Numbers In A Mixed Column (numbers In Some Cells Strings In Other Cells) In Excel As Numbers

Feb 1, 2007

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.

I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.

The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.

Any suggestions?

Sequential Number In An Update

Oct 27, 2006

this is a slight change to a fequently asked question around here. Ihave a table which contains a "sortorder" column where a user canspecify some arbitrary order for records to be displayed in. Usershave sometimes ordered records the way we used to number lines in aBASIC program (10,20,30, etc.). I'd like to do an update query and fixthis so that every record is in sequential order. I found an examplein this newsgroup of how to do this.However, I have a slight problem! Sometimes, the users duplicated thesortorders. So for example, I might have two records were thesortorder is 20. The query I found in this newsgroup does not work inthat case. Here is some code so that you can see what I mean.create table sorttest (label char(5),sortorder int)goinsert sorttest values ('joe',20)insert sorttest values ('dan',10)insert sorttest values ('jim',44)insert sorttest values ('tom',20)insert sorttest values ('jan',50)-- data dumpselect label, sortorder from sorttest order by sortorder-- I'd like to fix all of the sortorder fields so that they aresequentialupdate sorttestset sortorder = (select count(*)from sorttest subquerywhere sorttest.sortorder <= subquery.sortorder)-- note that tom and joe BOTH HAVE SORTORDER = 4select label, sortorder from sorttest order by sortorderdrop table sorttestThanks in advance for any help.

Update Table With SEQUENTIAL # Based On Criteria

May 9, 2007

***** SQL Server 2005 ********

I have a table that needs to be updated with a sequential number based on criteria.

I am trying to update the SeqID and LinkSeqID with the same sequential number if the ProductID and StoreID are in the same group. For instance the 1st three rows below are in the same group 752534 and 4, therefore the SeqID and LinkSeqID should be 1,2,3 and restart at 1 once the grouping of ProductID and StoreID changes. Please look at the examples below.

SALES Table as IS:
======================================
ProductID StoreID DBRowID SeqID LinkSeqID
======================================
752534 4 1
752534 4 2
752534 4 3
896784 2 4
896784 2 5
896784 4 6
898874 2 7
898968 2 8

This is what the table should look like after the update in complete.

SALES after UPDATE:
======================================
ProductID StoreID DBRowID SeqID LinkSeqID
======================================
752534 4 1 1 1
752534 4 2 2 2
752534 4 3 3 3
896784 2 4 1 1
896784 2 5 2 2
896784 4 6 1 1
898874 2 7 1 1
898968 2 8 1 1

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Update Field Value For Numbers Only

May 13, 2014

Large design flaw, I know, but we have a table with a varchar field which contains alpha - numeric values. I need to change just the numerics, which can be in an position on the field:

Sample data of the field:
Rec1: Sally Morgan 201-555-1212
Rec2: 555-4040 John Smith
Rec3: Jane Houstin 201-555-6452 ext1223

Desired result:
Rec1: Sally Morgan 999-999-9999
Rec2: 999-9999 John Smith
Rec3: Jane Houstin 999-999-9999 ext9999

There's a bunch of UDFs out there for selecting just the numerics, but I'm having trouble throwing it into a viable script for repeatable execution.

Multiply Numbers In A Column

Mar 21, 2002

Hi

I'm trying to find a decent way of multiplying a set of numbers in a column without using a cursor in T-SQL.

There is no 'Product' aggregate function that I'm aware of in SQL 7 or 2000. The workaround I'm currently using is this :

SELECT EXP(SUM(LOG(ColumnName))) FROM tblName

This works fine, except when negative numbers are introduced. The LOG function does not allow negative numbers and therefore returns a domain error and the negative number is eliminated from the aggregate.

I could use a cursor to do the multiplication, however, this is proving too slow for the bulk calculations involved.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, then that would be much appreciated.

thanks....Tom

Convert Sql Smalldatetime Column Into Numbers

HI all;

I have a simple question to ask; I need to create a column with the data from my DOB column (which has the smalldatetime type attached to it). I know how to do that but I am not too sure how to convert the data from that column int normal character for example when I copy it into my newly created column and change the type to varchar I get this jan 16 1979 from this date 1979/01/16. But I actually want the data to look like this 19790116, so in effect I just want to take out the slashes.

Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks all.

Identity Column Jumped 1.8 Billion Numbers

Aug 19, 1999

After moving our database between servers, one table had a hiccup in it's
identity column. The number jumped from 761 to 1886863475 on the next
insert. This is a production server and I didn't catch it until yesterday.
So I have several days worth of numbers in a central table. I can't clean
them out, but I wondered if I could do the following:

DBCC CHECKIDENT ('table_name', RESEED, 800)

I tested it on our development server and it doesn't seem to cause any
problems. I know that when we get to 1.8 billion on the identity column
again we'll get an error, but I'm willing to risk it.

A few questions. 1) Am I insane for trying this? 2) Has anyone else ran into
a similar problem and what did you do to fix it? 3) If I do this, is there
anything in particular to watch out for? 4) What caused the jump in the
first place?

My other option is to change the datatype from int to decimal(19) or
something along those lines. This will upset our programmers and I'll have
to change all my foreign keys (not a big deal, just a pain).

Any input at all here would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Grant
