I have table
id, series, seriesnr
and data
65557,AS,0
74443,AS,0
how to update table so seriesnr would be incremental , like
65557,AS,1
74443,AS,2
if i use
update x set seriesnr=select max(seriesnr) from x
then i got same seriesnr for all rows like max was calculated only one time on the begining not on each row update(why is that itseem so illogical)
65557,AS,1
74443,AS,1
I have a Users Table. It is full of users already and I would like to start using the UserPIN in the software (this is an nvarchar column).
I would like to update the UserPIN column with the row_number. All of my efforts have resulted in setting the UserPIN to 1 for every record. Â I just want an update query that fill the UserPIN column in sequential order.

Below is the resultset I got using the following SQL statement
SELECT Â ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY create_date DESC) AS RowNum
,ID
,create_date
,NULL AS end_date
FROM dbo.Table_1
Resultset:
RowNum ID
create_date end_date
1 0001
2015-02-18 NULL
2 0001
2014-04-28 NULL
[Code] ....
Now, I want to update the end_date column with the create_date's values for the next row_number. Desired output is shown below:
RowNum ID
create_date end_date
1 0001
2015-02-18 NULL

Hi,
How can I update my users table and set the password field to a random number or string.
eg.
update tbl_users set password='a way to generate a random number say between 2000 and 100000 for example'
even better would be a randomly generated alphanumeric string.
All help much appreciated.
Cheers,

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.

Hi, I need to update a number of columns in a number of tables - I just don't know how many. In this case, I am updating all varchar fields and nvarchar fields to be converted to lower case. The problem is that the table structure is amended over time as columns are added programmatically, so I do not know which tables have which columns and if so which of them are varchars.
I can get a table of which fields I need to update using:
SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
INTO tblTempLCase
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE '%varchar'
and I can do the update with UPDATE tblxxx SET column = LOWER(column)
But what I don't know is how to step through my temporary table and do the updates. I can do it in ASP.NET, but that involves pushing commands and data between ASP and SQL, and will be too slow. How do I do it in SQL?
Thanks,
Dave Stephens
Hi,
I need to update a number of columns within a number of tables - I just don't know how many. In this case, I want to convert all varchar and nvarchar columns to lower-case versions of themselves. The problem is that the table structure is changed programatically, and so at any point in time I cannot be certain what fields are in which table, and what data type they are.
I know that I can get a lit of columns using:
SELECT TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, ORDINAL_POSITION, DATA_TYPE
INTO tblTempLCase
FROM information_schema.columns
WHERE DATA_TYPE LIKE '%varchar'
and do the update using:
UPDATE tblABCDE SET column = LOWER(column).
In ASP.NET I can pull in this temporary table using a SQL Data Adapter, and then step through the records to formulate the UPDATE statements and execute them all. However, I hope that this is possible in SQL too, so that I do not have to keep firing data/commands between ASP and SQL, as it should be quicker, and is also neater.
If so, how do you do it?
Thanks,
Dave Stephens

Hi,
i read from help files that "For UPDATE, INSERT, and DELETE statements, the return value is the number of rows affected by the command. " Anyone know how to get the return value from the query below?
Below is the normal way i did in vb.net, but how to check for the return value. Please help.

I have a table where I would like to update the document number row for 3k rows. The problem I have is that the documents come in sets of two (version 1 and 2) but both have different numbers. Picture it like this below:
DOCNUM: 4445787 Version 1
DOCNUM: 4445790 Version 2
It should be the same docnum (ie 4445787 Version 1, 4445787 Version 2).
The challenge is how can we assign the new docnum for version 1 to be also for version 2 as well. Basically in SQL we need a way to
1. Find a way to distinguish the pair of documents in the target db that are the same even though they have different docnums.
2. Update them so that the docnums match.
Hi. Is it possible to select the columns you want given the column number instead of column name like the 3rd and 5th column?

I have a student table like this studentid, schoolID, previousschoolid, gradelevel.
I would like to load this table every day from student system.
During the year, the student could change schoolid, whenever there is a change, I would put current records schoolid to the previous schoolid column, and set the schoolid as the newschoolid from student system.
My question in my merge statement something like below
Merge into student st
using (select * from InputStudent ins)
on st.id=ins.studentid
When matched then update
set st.schoolid=ins.schoolid
, st.previouschoolid= case when (st.schoolid<>ins.schoolid) then st.schoolid
else st.previouschoolid
end
, st.grade_level=ins.grade_level
;
My question is since schoolid is et at the first line of set statement, will the second line still catch what is the previous schoolid?

A want to user a procedure to decrease a number in a col. by 1 each day.
I need some type of operation
then a job has to run the procedure to decrease a number once a day.
I don't know how to go about the operation? I am going to the SQL Query Anylizer to help me run the script to test it. I have in a col. of 201 numbers, and I will subtract 1 from each day from all recorders. I guess you could call this a count down or timer. Does this code work for me?
Thank You,

When I try to import a Pervasive table into SQL Server 2K, I get the error msg of 'Invalid column number'.
Is that because SQL Server cant handle more than 1024 columns ?

I’m okay with simple queries but as I’m no expert and have failed to find perhaps the correct wording to describe this method, if at all possible to do, so I have come to ask here.
What I would like to do is take a column from a query and then break down that column into separate results.
So the full query results:
36,18/09/2007 10:00:00,NULL,000102000304,NULL
The column I would like to brake down is (Unique Reference Number):
000102000304
And I would like to break it down to get the last 2 parts (0003 and 04):
0001 | 02 | 0003 | 04
Is this possible to do?
If so where should I be looking or what should I be looking at?
Many Thanks
