I have a windows forms app and I'm trying to add functionality that would allow the user to enter a number into a textbox control on a setup form and then that number would autoincrement by one each time a new record on another form is inserted into the DB .
I've searched high and low and can't seem to find much information on how I can put this together. I'm sure I'll need a "numbers" table in the DB that stores the numbers and is joined with the parent table where the records are being inserted into. After that, I'm pretty much lost on how to generate the numbers in the "Numbers" table.
If anyone could assist or point me in the right direction of a resource, I would really appreciate it!!
I am new to sql server query. I am trying to write a query for an application and I want user to enter number of over due days for payment.Below is my query and I am getting an error: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Group'.

i have an application that uses a table for login access, for security reason i need to get a random numbers in this table daily. table consist of just two columns, userid and password. This table will be printed out on the web for users to get valid username and pw daily. I m thinking about a job or dts package that will run once daily with a sql script to generate random number (referable 5 digit-letters and numbers), delete the table and re-create the table with same set column names and insert the random values in username and pw column. Will appreciate help on this
In a Name table, I need to generate unique 6 digit random numbers in a field called UniqueID for all records that have the ID field populated. I will need to run this script periodically. It is critical that any prevoiusly assigned UniqueIDs do not change and only fields that have an empty UniqueID field are updated. I need to preserve the historical mapping of the existing IDs to the ongoing assignment of UniqueIDs.
This procedure has been returning duplicate numbers. (Tested with scripts that called this proc and put value in a table.)
How can it return duplicates? Does the transaction Begin/Commit not guarantee transactional consistency?

In SSIS, I created a flow and within that flow i need to create an automatic number generator. The flow is simple: Ole db source part, a multicast part and a flat file destination and a ole db destination. In the Ole db source there is no field that is the starting point for this generator. This automatic nr should start with 10000 and each time a row is found it should be increased by 1.
First question: is it possible to create a column in SSIS flow which is the starting point for the generator (in this case 10000) or should it be created in the source table?
Second question: where in SSIS and with what component can i create such a generator??
Our server has integrated security setup, upon startup of the server, we have a continuous flow of error msg: Login Failed: Reason: User '_' not defined as a valid user of trusted connection. The timing of these messages only around 30 seconds apart The only incident from Technet I can find is Q186314, but we don't have replication setup, anyone knows where I can look into ? I recycle the server but didn't help. I appreciate any help I can get .. Thanks.
I have created a local user on Report Server Computer and the user has the administrative rights. When i try to connect Report Server (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/reportserver) with this user's credantials. (ReportServer directory security is set -only- to Basic Authentication. ). I get the following error.

Then i try to login using a different user with administrative rights on the machine, i can logon successfully. The system is up for a month but this problem occured today?!? What could be the problem?!?
Here's a tricky SQL question that has definitely driven me to the end ofmy rope. I'm using Oracle 9i and I need to perform some simplemultiplication on a field and then display it with a percent sign usingthe COLUMN command. Here's the code thus far:COLUMN price format 9,999.99 HEADING 'Charged%'SELECT pricecharged * .231 as priceFROM VT_examdetailThe output from this reads:Charged%---------23.1034.6534.65....The kicker here is that I need to add a percent sign to the right of theoutput, so that it reads:Charged%---------23.10%34.65%34.65%....I thought I could do this by just adding "|| ('%')" into the SELECTstatement, but when I do this the decimal position defined in the COLUMNcommand is lost. Does anyone know another way around this?Thanks,Alex
I have a UDF that takes my input and returns the next valid business day date. My valid date excludes weekends and holidays. It works perfect except for one issue. It doesn't check to see if today's date is a holiday. I pass a query to sql server like so " select dbo.getstartdate('01/ 10/2007',2)" It then moves ahead two business days and returns that date. Here is the current code. Hopefully someone can tell me how to do the holiday check on the current date. I really don't want to rewrite the whole script .

I've a view in which one of the fields were DATEDIFF(day,contract date,received) AS AgeOfAccount. I changed it to DATEDIFF(day, m.received, CASE WHEN m.clidlp > m.clidlc THEN m.clidlp ELSE m.clidlc END) * - 1 AS AgeOfAccount. When I execute the view I'm getting an error. But the results are getting displayed properly. That's what's puzzling me. Could someone tell me what the error is.
The following errors were encountered while parsing the contents of the sql pane. Your entry cannot be converted to a valid date time value.
I have a search returning many 'car' records (regno, mileage, color, etc)
In a seperate table I have two columns: accessory and regno. This can have many rows for each regnumber.
Within the storedprocedure that returns the 'car' records I need to also return the relevant accessories for that car as one column.
I have written a function as such (with some help!):
ALTER Function getAccs(@regNo varChar(20)) RETURNS varChar AS BEGIN Declare @List varchar(1000) SELECT @List = COALESCE(@List + ', ', '') + accessory FROM frxrep2.dbo.usedaccessories WHERE regnumber = @regno return @List END
I was hoping that I could simply use this in the 'car' SELECT statement.
ie:
SELECT regNo, color, mileage, dob.getAccs(regno) as AccessoryList FROM tableBla etc
I'm not even sure if the function works - How can I test in SQL analyzer?
Hi everyone, I am tring to pass acomma delimited string to a function and this function is parsing the string so that I can see individual values so for example I am passing 1,2,3,4,5 as a parameter to my function and I am parsing this string so that I can write something like this Select * from tableA where userID in(1,2,3,4) It is working fine. Only problem is if the user passes word 'all' instead of 1,2,3,4 then I have to doSelect * from tableA My function looks like this. How can I modify this function if I pass 'all' as a paramater. Any help will be appreciated.CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[ParseText2File] (@p_text varchar(4000), @p_Delimeter char(1)) RETURNS @results TABLE (id varchar(100)) AS BEGIN declare @i1 varchar(200) declare @i2 varchar(200) declare @tempResults Table (id varchar(100)) while len(@p_text) > 0 and charindex (@p_Delimeter, @p_text) <> 0 begin select @i1 = left(@p_text, charindex(@p_Delimeter, @p_text) - 1) insert @tempResults select @i1 select @p_text = right(@p_text, len(@p_text) - charindex(@p_Delimeter,@p_text)) end insert @tempResults select @p_text insert @results select * from @tempResults return END Thanks
I know that we cannot have User Defined Functions in SQL 7.0, but is there a work around. I am trying to standardize the date according to the time zone using a function and use it as part of a select statement.
I cannot believe that is not possible in SQL 7.0, can somebody tell me what is the work around, I am running against time. I really appreciate any help on this one.
I am a new user for SQL server. Coming from an oracle background, I find it very difficult to live without user defined functions. At the moment, I urgently need to have a function returning an custom-made ID string, so that it can be used in one of my stored procedures. I have heard the rumours that SQL server 7 does NOT support user defined functions, (which SQL 6.5 does). I would be really grateful if anyone can clarify this for me, and if possible, suggest a get-around approach.

Is it possible to change the owner of a User Defined Dataype? I've recently had to change the owner of one of my databases and the tables from a specific user to 'dbo'. The UDD's are the only objects I am unable to change the ownership of.
Any suggestions anyone? Thanks for any advice! Toni Eibner
I am trying to compare the data from one table (shipments) with the data from a view. The point of the function is to match the correct territory with the account depending on the data. Basically, I this deals with accounts that are transfering from one territory to another. The transfers take effect on the first day of the month, retroactive, therefore we need to allocate the sales data to the correct territory in the shipments table. Here is my function. Can someone tell me how I can get this to work and insert a territory ID for the account that has transfered into the shipments table?
CREATE FUNCTION fnShipments () RETURNS @Shipments TABLE (AccountID CHAR(10), DateInvoice DateTime, DollarShipments Money, TerritoryID CHAR(10)) AS BEGIN INSERT @Shipments (AccountID, DateInvoice, DollarShipments, TerritoryID) SELECT Shipments.AccountID, Shipments.DateInvoice, DollarShipments, ISNULL((SELECT TerritoryID FROM vwAccountTransfers
WHERE Shipments.AccountID = vwAccountTransfers.AccountID
AND vwAccountTransfers.EffectiveMonth =
(SELECT MIN(EffectiveMonth) FROM vwAccountTransfers
WHERE Shipments.AccountID = vwAccountTransfers.AccountID AND DatePart(m,Shipments.DateInvoice) < vwAccountTransfers.EffectiveMonth)), (SELECT TerritoryID FROM vwAccountTransfers WHERE Shipments.AccountID = vwAccountTransfers.AccountID AND vwAccountTransfers.EffectiveMonth Is Null ) ) AS Territory FROM Shipments
ORDER BY Shipments.AccountID, Shipments.DateInvoice; RETURN END
User: Will be sending me a datetime e.g '9 Nov 2004 15:00:00' I want the UDF to do the following for me Return in hours the difference between what the user has send and now (lets say now = '10 Nov 2004 11:00:00') So the UDF will return to me 20. But I dont want 20, I want the UDF to avoid any all hours which are not work related (any time after 16h00 until 8h00 in the morning), so I want this UDF to return 4. That means from '9 Nov 2004 15:00:00' I have calculated 1hr until 16h00 and 3hrs from 8 until 11h00 on '10 Nov 2004 11:00:00'
AGAIN IT MUST NOT CALCULATE WEEKENDS. Lets say '12 Nov 2004 15:00:00' was Friday and now = '15 Nov 2004 11:00:00', I must still get 4 as a return from UDF
I would also like now to be my getdate(), but it seems like you can't use it in UDF
I am implementing an encrypted data system whereby captured data is encrypted using MS CAPICOM when written to DB and decrypted when displayed. It works well. However, each time you write the data back on update the encryption is different from the previous time.
I have a search screen that allows users to enter text data and submit it looking for matches. Of course, the user is entering unencrypted text and the DB data is encrypted.
This means that you can't encrypt the input data before you try to match because the encryption alogorithm used on the input data will not match that which was used to encrypt the DB data.
Are you with me so far?
So, you have to compare the uncencrypted input data with DECRYPTED DB data - in other words, decrypt the DB data on the fly within the where clause of your query.
I have accomplished this by writing a UDF that instantiates an instance of the CAPICOM encryption module and calling the UDF when applying the query eg where udf(columnname1) = 'inputtext' or udf(columnname1) = 'inputtext'.
It works, I get the results that I want.
But, alas, the performance has taken a search severe hit.
I am running a procedure that declares a table with a user defined variable called ZipCodes8000. This datatype is on the systypes table as a valid datatype that we created. Here is the code and the error that is returned. Can anyone help me understand why I receive the error that I do.
Code:

I've been doing some reading on UDT's and have a question...
It was suggested in one of the pieces I read that you could create a UDT for, in their example, cities. And every table that had a reference to city could share this datatype. Now, my initial thought was "wow, what a great idea! I wouldn't have to remember the exact datatype for my primary keys (was it a char(5) or char(6)?) and have a "central depository" for my key datatypes.
So the first question is; what are the disadvantages of such a design?
And the second is; How do you update a UDT? If business requirements change and udt_city needs to be changed from varchar(30) to varchar(60), for example, what would be the way of echoing the change thoughout your database?
My gut reaction for the answers are 1) performance will decrease as effectively the dbms has to "parse" every insert/update to a UDT field in a different method.
2) create a new udt and alter any tables referencing the old one before dropping it.
Is there a way that I can create a user defined variable in my database? I have a fairly large chunk of xml that I would like to store in the database that can be updated by clients ( in rare cases ). I could use other mechinisms to allow access to it, but all other application related information is stored nicely in this one place, I hate to vary for this single piece.
When I define a UDF in SQL 2000 I can't execute it without qualifiction. Here's the code: CREATE FUNCTION GetLastShipDate(@DO_No CHAR(10)) RETURNS CHAR(10) -- DROP FUNCTION GetLastShipDate BEGIN DECLARE @v_last_ship_date CHAR(10)
SELECT @v_last_ship_date = COALESCE(CONVERT(CHAR(10), MAX(Asn.Asn_Ship_DateTime), 110), '') FROM Asn,Asn_Do WHERE Asn_Do.Asn_Number=Asn.Asn_Number AND Asn_Do.DO_Number = @DO_No AND Asn.ASN_STATUS in ('SENT','RESENT')
Iam trying to create a geo-database. For that i need to have a spatial data type called polygon which takes in values as int. so it can be declared as: POLYGON(0 0, 100 0, 100 100, 0 100, 0 0)
How do i do that. plz help.
