Hi,
My requirement is i want to auto generate ID'S in sqlserver that means
in database one column is there recordid for that coloumn i want to add numbers with no duplication like JDS 10001,JDS 10002,JDS 10003............like that if any record added in database means automatically add that type of id's
if suddenly we deleted that record means that id will not add again how to do dat??
I have a table called dbo.test. This table is built with two columns, namely; col_id and col_name.. Now, I want col_id to be auto-populated when a new col_name is added. But the col_id - should be of formulae xyyyy
where x = 2
and yyyy = will be incremental
Therefore, the first 3 records will be like ;
col_id Col_name 20001 A 20002 B 20003 C ...... ...... and so on
Now, is there a way SQL can auto-populate teh col_id whenever a col_name is added?

Hello, I have a table (publication) that has a primary key pubID which is an identity specification. This ID already has relationships to other tables. I am having problems trying to make one of the other columns in the same table to auto generate. This column (bibNumber) is not related to any other table. All i want to do is when i create a new record in the table, auto generate a number for this column bibNumber. How can i do this? I am using sql server express 2005 Regards
Is there an easy way to generate the parameters code for calling stored procedures?
Is there an easy way to generate stored procedure code without having to manually type it in? I've seen 3rd party tools, but I was wondering if there's anything within Sql Server to do it.
I'm using c#, visual studio 2005, sql server 2005.
Hi, in Access, I can use an Auto-Increment number for my primary key field. May I know how do I do that in SQL Express?
In addition, is there any tutorial on how to use SQL Express to generate customised unique numbers (such as membership number, Customer ID such as A001 where A is based on the customer's name while 001 is due to the fact that the customer is the first among those with names starting with A)?
Hi, Can we able to auto generate columns in sql server 2000? I have a tabe with two fields No and Name. I need to auto generate no for each name i am going to enter. Can any give me a solution for this? If so i will be thankful to u.
1) I have a report with many parameters that I want users to be able to pick from. Allow them to pick 1, many or all to build their report dynamically. I'm all set on the TSQL side, but on the Reporting Services side I have to allow each parameter to be null with a default of NULL. In by doing this, the report will auto run, which I do not want to happen. The only resolution I've found thus far was by adding a parameter that does nothing, with a NULL default value. Yet It sticks out like a sore thumb on the report and I want to get rid of it. If I check in "Hidden" in the parameter options, my report errors out stating that the parameter requires a value.
2) Is it possible to have a parameter that has available values from a dataset have a NULL checkbox like those of parameters that do not have available values?
3) Is it possible to add back/forward buttons inside of a report instead of just at the report header by default?
Hi I am not sure if I am at right place, anyhow I hope I am :) Now the question: I am using an ASP.net Application with SQL-Server. I want to make a page so that it set the expiration time (date) for certain record and once that time reaches, it deletes those records, or make any updates to the record (what ever applicable). I also want to control this auto deletion from my application, means that turn this On/Off whenever needed. I am not sure how to start this. I was told by a friend that I need to use triggers from SQL-server but I need some help. Can anyone help me out on this? RegardsMykhan
I tried to connect Northwind.sdf from VB.NET 2005, though connection went right, I am getting an error like the following
Some updating commands could not be generated automatically. The database returned the following error : Failed to find or load the registered .Net Framework Data Provider
I checked the machine.config file and found the following entries under the DbProviderFactories

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:
I have an MS SQL Server table with a Job Number field I need this field to start at a certain number then auto increment from there. Is there a way to do this programatically or within MSDE?
Hello everybody,I was configuring a SqlDataSource control using SQL Authentication mode.I first added a database file (testdb.mdf) through Solution Explorer-Add New Items. Then through Database Explorer I created a table named "info"Then while configuring the SqlDataSource control I used the SQL Authentication mode and attached the "testdb.mdf" database file.Test Connection showed success. But when I hit the Ok button of the wizard it displayed the following error message:Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server. Only an integrated connection can generate a user instance.While configuring the SqlDataSource control I clicked "New Connection". Under Data Source section I tried both Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft SQL Server Database File. And in both the cases I attached a databese file(testdb.mdf). Plz enlighten me on this.Thanks and Regards,Sankar.
We have a static class that makes an HTTPWebRequest to get XML data from one of our vendors. We use this as input to a stored proc in SQLServer2005. When I compile this class and call it from a console application in visual studio it executes in milliseconds, everytime. When I compile it, create the assembly and clr function and execute it in SQLServer, it takes around 14 seconds to execute the first time, then on subsequent requests it is again really fast, until I wait for 10 seconds and re-execute, once again it is slow the first time and then fast on subsequent requests. We do not see this behavior when executing outside SQLServer. Makes me think that some sort of authentication is perhaps taking place the first time the function is run in SQLServer? I have no idea how to debug this further. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas?
Here is the class:
Code Snippet
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Net; using System.IO;
namespace Predict.Services { public static class Foo { public static string GetIntradayQuote(string symbol) { string returnQuote = "";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)(WebRequest.Create("http://data.predict.com/predictws/detailed_quote.html?syms=" + symbol + "&fields=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,28,30"));
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
returnQuote = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
streamReader.Close(); response.Close();
return returnQuote; } } }
When I run call it from a console app it is fine.
I compile it into a dll and then create the assembly and function as follows:
Code Snippet
drop function fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
drop assembly TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS
go
create ASSEMBLY TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS from 'c:DataBackupsCLRLibrariesTestGetIntradayQuote_SJS.dll' WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS
go
CREATE FUNCTION fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS(@SymbolList nvarchar(max)) RETURNS nvarchar(max) AS EXTERNAL NAME TestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS.[Predict.Services.Foo].GetIntraDayQuote
go
declare @testing nvarchar(max)
set @testing = dbo.fnTestGetIntradayQuoteXML_SJS('goog')
print @testing
When I execute the function as above, again, really slow the first time, then fast on subsequent calls. Could there be something wrong with the code, or some headers that need to be set differently to operate from the CLR in SQLServer?
I am trying to 'load' a copy of a SQLServer 2000 database to SQLServer 2005 Express (on another host). The copy was provided by someone else - it came to me as a MDF file only, no LDF file.
I have tried to Attach the database and it fails with a failure to load the LDF. Is there any way to bypass this issue without the LDF or do I have to have that?
The provider of the database says I can create a new database and just point to the MDF as the data source but I can't seem to find a way to do that? I am using SQL Server Management Studio Express.
I'm chasing after a documetn that was available on one of the Microsoftwebsites that was titled somethign like "MS SQL Server Best Practices"and detailed a nyumber of best practices about securing the server.Included in this was revoking public access to the system tableobjects.Can someone post the URL where I can pick this up, or drop me a note oncontacting them for a copy of the document?
I have an app that uses a sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to connect to a sqlserver 2000.
Is it possible to do a direct replacement of sqlserver 2000 with sqlserver 2005 express just by reconfiguring the app to point to the express? The app would still be using the sqlserver 2000 jdbc driver to try and make the connection.
If that is a possibility, what can be some differences in the configuration? Previously with 2000 the config information I entered is:
server name: "machinename"( or ip). I've also tried "machiname/SQLEXPRESS"
DB name: name of db instance
port: 1433(default)
user and pass.
My attempts so far results in
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Error establishing socket."
and
"java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Unable to connect. Invalid URL."
I have an SQLServer Mobile database, and I would like to know if there is a way to upgrade it to SQLServer 2005 (.mdf) database. My database has no records in it, just the structure (tables etc). What I am actually asking is if I can create automatically a new SQLServer 2005 Database with the same structure as my existin SQLSErver Mobile database
I am in the process of planning a server upgrade to sql2005 x64.
I created 2 linked servers: one to a SQL2000 sp4 server and one to a SQL7.0 SP3.
I have the following error when I query the linked servers. OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "Unspecified error". OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K" returned message "The stored procedure required to complete this operation could not be found on the server. Please contact your system administrator.". Msg 7311, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot obtain the schema rowset "DBSCHEMA_TABLES_INFO" for OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "IVDM2K". The provider supports the interface, but returns a failure code when it is used.
I am aware of KB 906954. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;906954
I applied the instcat.sql on the SQL2000SP4 server and my linked server issues for that one are gone.
However, I ran the instcat.sql script on the SQL7.0 sp3 server and the linked server is still giving me an issue.
Hi, I am new to SQL Server 2005. I tried connecting to my local machine by using my machine name as Server name and then tried running the following query: SELECT * FROM SYS.Objects. It gives me following error: Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.
Whereas, if I connect to my local machine using mahcinenameSQLEXPRESS, then the above mentioned query runs fine.
Why is this difference? What is the difference when I login in these 2 different ways. Any help would be appreciated.
Is there a way to transfer data from a SqlServer db to a SqlServer Express db. I tried to use the backup file of SqlServer, but this file is not valid for SqlServer Express. Or there any alternatives?
Hi! When MS published starter kits there were files .sql in App_Data. This files contained some sample data for a DB. How to create such files when I have database with data ? Jarod
One of my first tasks on my current project was to generate all of the SQL scripts needed to rebuild the database. Of course, one of the catches was that everything needed to be separated out (table columns in different script from PKs different from FKs different from DEFAULTs, etc., etc.). And we wanted our own comment block inserted. So, I couldn't just use the Generate SQL Script from Enterprise Manager and be done with it. I was going to need to do some more work. Well, here's one of the scripts I wrote to build the FK scripts. Execute this script, then copy & paste the results into a new window. Break apart into separate .sql files as desired.
NOTE: Be sure to show results in Text (not grid) and change the display options in QA to return more than just 256 characters.

Does anyone know how to use for xml auto that will format an xml response to show the parent/child relationships? I currently have the parents and children in a temp table and can only get a formatting so that each one is returned at a parent. how can i select the results from the temp table so for xml auto will return the properly formatted xml file?
The upgrade adviser for for 2k5 says something about derived tables being handled differently between 2k and 2K5 and it says to query the tables directly but this does not seem to make much sense because I thought FOR XML AUTO just created some generic XML for presentation purposes. These 2 stored procedures that it is complaining about do query the tables directly and they use the FOR XML AUTO to control the output.Does anyone know if I have to worry about this? I am tempted to let this slide and check out this part of the application after the migration happens tomorrow for QA to start testing.Yes I have been googling, checking my books and digging around in BOL. I am not seeing anything.DISREGARD: I found my derived table. It appears to change the output of the XML. Perfect.
