Adding Identity Column Dynamically
Nov 23, 2005
Hi,
In my stored procedure I'm doing a SELECT on
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS. However there is no unique id on
this table, so I was wondering if it was possible to add it dynamically
in my SELECT, so that I would assign a unique id to each record
returned by my SELECT?
Thanks for your support.

I have the folowing databases DB1,DB2,DB3,D4,DB5........
I have to loop through each of the databases and find out if the database has a tablename with the word 'Documents'( like 'tbdocuments' or 'tbemployeedocuments' and so on......)
If the tablename having the word 'Documents' is found in that database i have to add a column named 'IsValid varchar(100)' against that table in that database and there can be more than 1 'Documents' table in a database.
can someone show me the script to do it?
Thanks.

I've got a table with 36+ million rows. I've been asked to modify thetable and add in an identity column. The code I used caused SQL tolock up and it maxed out the log files. :)The code I used is:Begin TransactionAlter Table ODS_DAILY_SALES_POSADD ODS_DAILY_SALES_POS_ID BigInt NOT NULL IDENTITY (1,1)CommitIs there a way to break up the code? Maybe only do a few millionrecords at a time? Or is there a way to do this without lockinganything up?Thanks,Jennifer

I need to add a column that has the datatype of integer with a seed and identity increment to a table that already exists and has data in it - and can't all NULLs. I have heard that this not possible if the table already exists.
I have downloaded the demo's of SQL Programmer and a couple of Embarcadero programs to see if that would help, but have had no succes to date.
Thanks for any help,
Alan

I removed all constraints in order to load a bunch of data into a table, now I'm wondering if I can add an identity column to this table which does contain data or if I have to create a new table with the identity column and insert the data into that.
thx

After SQL server service restart, a column which is set to auto increment jumped 1000. To fix the issue, I had to add T272 trace flag to SQL startup parameters. However, I did not see the column being reseeded after the service restart, it is still showing the 1000 jump. Am I doing something wrong?
Below the log showing the flag being added to the error log:
LogDateProcessorInfoErrorMSG

CancelSelectOnNullParameterHi,Suppose I have a SQLDataSource with a
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM STOCKS WHERE USER=@USER ORDER BY STOCK_NAME"
and @USER is set as a session parameter. No problem till this part, but in some postbacks, I wish to add a new WHERE criteria to my SQL, so I do:DSSQL.SelectParameters.Add("@STOCK_NAME", "ABC123");
DSSQL.SelectCommand = DSgvStoklar.SelectCommand.Replace(" ORDER BY ", " AND STOCK_NAME LIKE @STOCK_NAME+'%' ORDER BY ");
gridViewDS.DataBind();
and wish that my SelectCommand is modified and a new parameter is added.
The SQL is modified, however -I guess- new parameter is not added, so I get "Must declare the scalar variable "@STOCK_NAME" error.
How can I solve, any ideas?

SQL 2012 SSIS package.I have a package connection that has the initialcatalog set in the connection string/properties page. This package connection also has an expression defined to set the initial catalog at runtime according to a passed in parameter. It works fine.
I am trying to create a second package in this same manner, but the connection does not seem to want to keep both the hardcoded initialcatalog and the expression to set it dynamically.
I can hardcode the initcatalog just fine, when when I add the expression to set it dynamically later, it clears out the initialcatalog I added.
What am I missing, why was I able to do this in the other package? I compared as much as I can think of between the two packages, all seems similar.

I have a table that I need to add an identity field to. I created a field in the table as an INT and added values to all of the existing records. When I try to change it to an IDENTITY field I continually get an error saying 'Invalid cursor state' . The help function tells me that this is caused by not having enough space in the transaction log but I don't understand this b/c the trans log is configured to expand as needed. Anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks,
Tony

I have table of three column first column is an ID column. However at creation of the table i have not set this column to auto increment. Then i have copied 50 rows in another table to this table then set the ID column values to zero.
Now I have changed the ID column to auto increment seed=1 increment=1 but the problem is i couldn't figure out how to update this ID column with zero value set to each row with this auto increment values so the ID column would have values from 1-50. Is there a away to do this?

I'd created a dataform from a table stored in a SQL database, after that I changed the primary key field to be an identity, refreshed the dataset but when I execute the program, it raises an exception when I try to save the record after adding a new one asking me for the value of this field. What can I do to be sure it will be created automatically?

I'm using VS2008 (as shipped with SQL CE 3.5 as shipped).
I want to write a database app and started with a quite simple example:
One table "Master" has 2 columns: int MasterID, int Value (where the MasterID is the primary key and is an identity column.
For the GUI I used the typed dataset components (based on the namespace: System.Data.SqlServerCe) which were automatically generated by VS2008. I just dropped the table from the datasources view to a form and got a DataGridview, a Navigator and some DB components, quite fine so far.
When i run the app i can add new rows and the identity column is filled with -1, -2 ... as expected. When I hit the save button, the rows are saved to DB, but the values of the identity columns are not updated (the still have -1, -2..)
When I use the exact same example with SQL Express evrything works fine: the identity Column's values are updated automatically and have +1, +2, ...
Sure there is a statement "SELECT @@IDENTITY"... but I'm just using automated code so far, and i expect that code to work (automatically). Next problem: if i want to insert that "Select @@identity" stuff (I don't want to do that, but perhaps I have to?) where can I do this, I did not found a OnInsertedRow-Event?
This problem is part of a bigger one: I want to use Master/Detail, but inserting the Details fails because the inserting of the master rows didn't return the correct Indentity values, so the detail rows cannot be inserted (the foreign keys -1, -2... will raise an error).
thanks in advance, Bernd.

I'm working with a third-party database (SQL Server 2005) and the problem here is the following:
- There are a bunch of ETL processes that needs to insert rows on a table (let's call this table T) and at the same time, an ERP (owner of T) is up and running (reading, updating and inserting on T).
- The PK of T is an Integer.
Today all ETL processes uses (select max(ID) + 1 from T) to insert new rows, so just picture the scenario. It is a mess! Everyday they get duplicate key error when 2 or more concurrent processes are trying to insert a row (with the max) at the same time.
Considering that I can't change the PK, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
To sum up:
* I need to have processes in parallel inserting on T
* I can't change anything on T
* The PK is NOT an Identity

I have a table of raw data where each column can be null. The thought was to create an identity key (1,1) and set as primary for each row. (name/ address / zip/country/joindate/spending) with surrogate key: "pkid".However other queries will not use this primary key. So for instance they may count the # of folks at a zip, select all names, addresses etc. The queries may order by join date, or select all the people that joined on a specific date.No other code would logically use the primary key (surrogate primary id key), therefore would it still have any performance benefits? at this time the table would have no clustured or nonclustured indexes or keys. I'm curious if there are millions of records.

Hi all,
The requirement is to have a table say 'child_table', with an Identity column to refer another column from a table say 'Parent_table'..
i cannot implement this constraint, it throws the error when i execute the below Alter query,
ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id)
REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
the error thrown is :
Failed to execute alter table query: 'ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT
fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id) REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE
CASCADE '. Message: java.sql.SQLException: Cascading foreign key 'fk_1_ct' cannot be
created where the referencing column 'child_table.child_id' is an identity column.
any workarounds for this ?

Hi
I created a new database called "TestReportServer" as mentioned in the installation instruction but I didn't
see (or could select) the option "Create the report server database in SharePoint integrated mode".
How can I select this option? Do I need to remove the reporing services and reinstall it again? Any suggestions?
After creating the database I get the error 'Some or all identity references could not be translated'.
The user I selected is a local administrator and has permission to all groups starting with wss.
I guess the database is not created as a sharepoint integration mode as I can start Server Management Studio
and see the database. Is that a correct assumption?
I hope somebody out there can help as I am strating to bang my head towards my desk right now :-)

For each customer, I want to add all of their telephone numbers to a different column. That is, multiple columns (depending on the number of telephone numbers) for each customer/row. How can I achieve that?
I want my output to be
CUSTOMER ID, FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, TEL1, TEL2, TEL3, ... etc
Each 'Tel' will relate to a one or more records in the PHONES table that is linked back to the customer.
I want to do it using SELECT. Is it possible?

Hi guys,
If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time.
What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below:

I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE
ALTER COLUMN

ALTER TABLE #CTE
MODIFY
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;

HI chaps
my scenario is that, i have a table in which i have column such as col01,col02,col03....col31
i want to retrieve the records related to that column by specifying the name dynamically (by using loop) as fist three character are same ('col??') and i have to do integer increment in last two character (???01...???31). Is it possible that I can use variable for column name?, if yes how? or is there any other way to achieve this task ?
waiting for your reply

Hey all. I'm trying to create a stored proc that will update a variable column, depending on the parameter I pass it. Here's the stored proc:
CREATE PROCEDURE VoteStoredProc
(
@PlayerID int,
@VoteID int,
@BootNumber nvarchar(50)
)
AS
DECLARE @SQLStatement varchar(255)
SET @SQLStatement = 'UPDATE myTable SET '+ @BootNumber+'='+ @VoteID + ' WHERE (PlayerID = '+ @PlayerID +')'
EXEC(@SQLStatement)
GO
I get the following error:
Syntax error converting the nvarchar value 'UPDATE myTable SET Boot3=' to a column of data type int
The update statement is good, because if I use the stored proc below (hard-coded the column), it works fine.
CREATE PROCEDURE VoteStoredProc
(
@PlayerID int,
@VoteID int,
@BootNumber nvarchar(50)
)
AS
UPDATE
myTable
SET
Boot3 = @VoteID
WHERE
PlayerID = @PlayerID
GO
Is there a way to dynamically choose a column/field to select from? Or is my syntax incorrect..?
Thanks!
