Set Custom Identity Keys For Master Tables(auto-incrementing):

Jun 17, 2007

I need some help for designing the IDs / Primary keys for some master tables in my database. Following are master tables. Client_Master, Buyer_Master & Seller_Master; I want to set Client_Id, Buyer_Id & Seller_Id as their respective primary keys and they should have following properties

Client_Id :- a) should be auto-incrementing value, b) unique & c)should be of the format – CLXXXXXX, where “CL” {Constant start characters} & “X” {any number 0-9}
Similarly::
Buyer_Id :- BYXXXXXX
Seller_Id :- SLXXXXXX

We are implementing the database in MS-SQL 2005 & MySQL

Can anyone help me find a solution to this, especially in MS-SQL.

Incrementing And Concatentating Non-Auto Incrementing Fields

Mar 11, 2008

My SQL table has the
following columns:













ID – Auto IncrementingNumber_of_Records – IntAccount_Number – Varchar
(Format 1234)Account_Number_Instance  – Varchar 
(Format e.g. 1234-01)Other_Field1Other_Field2…etc.



When the Account_Number was
initially inserted into the table, a Stored procedure (not written be me)  was used to concatenate the Account_Number
and Number_of_Records.  As a result
the  Account_Number_Instance became,
e.g. 1234-01, etc.



From the ASPX form we
retrieve each of the fields above, and based on the Number_of_Records an
appropriate number of records were inserted for the Account_Number. 

 

For Example:

 



Account_Number = 12345Number_of_Records = 4



The result inserted into the
table were as follows:



ID        # of Records            Acct_Number  
New_Num            Acct_Number_Instance   â€¦

1          4                                              12345                                     12345-01

2          4                                              12345                                     12345-02

3          4                                              12345                                     12345-03

4          4                                              12345                                     12345-04

 

Now, I would like to UPDATE
this table, and based on the original Number_of_ Records (4) I want to ADD, for
Account_Number (1234) add an appropriate Number_of_Instances, beginning with
the next incremental number and adding what the New Number of Records input is…




For Example:





            Account_Number = 12345            New_Num(ber_Of Records) = 3

ID        # of Records              Acct_Number    New_Num             Acct_Number_Instance   …

1          4                                              12345                                     12345-01

2          4                                              12345                                     12345-02

3          4                                              12345                                     12345-03

4          4                                              12345                                     12345-04

5                                                         12345             3                      12345-05

6                                                         12345             3                      12345-06

7                                                         12345             3                      12345-07

 

I
do realize that the next time I have to update this Account_Number I am also
going to have to somehow ADD only one of the #_of_Records and New_Num for the
Acct_Number instances to obtain the next starting number, which in the example
above would be (8)…



Any
and all suggestions on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

How To Set Up Auto Incrementing For A Field

Aug 10, 2006

 
I have a database table. I need to set a particular data field to allow for Auto Incrementing. Basically I need to set up the initial integer value to start at. Then to specify the amount to increment by.
What I have done so far is to right click on the field name in SQL Server 2005. Then, on the pop-up menu I select the menu option for properties.
When the properties are displayed I see some fields listed in dark grey but I am not able to edit these fields. In other words, if I try to type text in this field, nothing happens. The fields I am talking about are:
Identity Increment
Identity Seed
Is Identity
Does anyone know what the problem is? What do I have to do to edit these fields.

Unwanted Auto-incrementing

Aug 17, 2006

Here is a simplified version of my problem:
I am inserting data into a table using a stored procedure. The table has an identity column that increments with each insert. When I use erroneous data in the other fields the insert fails….no surprises there! But when the next insert occurs with valid data I find that my identity field has increased even with those inserts that failed, so my sequence has jumped a few numbers. How do I get the identity inserts to roll back if the rest of the data in a row doesn’t insert successfully?

Auto-incrementing A Field

Nov 9, 2006

I am porting a database from Informix to SQL Server 2000. Several fields in the informix database are specified as SERIAL, which means that they auto-increment auto-magically if you insert a 0 into them. Well...I was looking for an equivalent in SQL Server 2000, and thought I had found it in the IDENTITY column concept.

With further investigation into IDENTITY columns, however, I discovered that only one column per table can be given the IDENTITY property. Why is this? Is there a way around that? If not, is there another way to achieve this feature in SQL Server 2000? If not, any suggestions on how I can do it?

Thanks!

Identity Value Not Auto Incrementing

Feb 19, 2008

My Identity value column is not autoincrementing, its seed is set to 1, and increment set to 1.
yet when i click the auto generated 'Add New Record' button in the BindingNavigator control set (in a form where it is populated with databound text boxes), this Identity column is not auto incremented?


And if i try to write a value to this column, i get the error telling me this column cannot be written to. Yet if i do not write to it, then i get "This column does not allow nulls"

To load my data i am using:




Code Snippet
'clear dataset
Me.DsQuote.Clear()
'fill the datagrid with data from tblQuoteID
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DsQuote.tblQuoteID)






and to save data im using:




Code Snippet
Me.Validate()
'end data edit
Me.TblQuoteIDBindingSource.EndEdit()
'update the dataset with table data
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Update(DsQuote.tblQuoteID)


anything im doing wrong? this data is being viewed in a datagrid btw.

cheers

Auto-incrementing With Leading Zeros

Aug 10, 2006

Hi All,
I need to set up a kind of identity insert that gives an output in the format: 00001, 00002, 00003 etc. Is there a formatting option for this sort of output using normal identity insert features or do I need to write a function to insert these values (perhaps as text) each time a new record is created?
Sorry if this is really simple but it's only my 4th day in this job!

Transact SQL :: Primary Key Auto Incrementing By 1000 Instead Of 1

Jul 13, 2012

We have upgraded our SQL 2008 server to 2012 last month.  i've noted since then that many tables that have auto increment primary key bigint field increases by 1 like it should, then for some reason it jumps up by 1000 or even 10000?  i have seed adn auto increment set to 1 but doesnt effect it.  Is there anything that could be causing the next value to jump that much?

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: Add Auto Incrementing Column To SELECT Statement

Apr 1, 2013

Along with the data that I am pulling back from query, I also need to provide an ImportID column with the following requirements:

YYMMDDGP0001, YYMMDDGP0002, YYMMDDGP0003, and so on. The 0001, 0002, and 0003 part could get big into the hundreds of thousands.

I have the YYMMDDGP part down with the following expression:

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), GETDATE(), 12) + 'GP' AS [ImportID]

Now I need to get the Auto Incrementing number part of this. I have been researching this trying SELECT INTO a temp table using the Identity Function and declaring different variables all with no luck.

SQL Server 2012 :: Auto Incrementing Alphanumeric Field In Table

Oct 1, 2014

I need to auto increment an alphanumeric field in a table.

The process is as follows:

1. First position is static letter C for contact or static letter A for account - field contact_id
2. The following 6 positions are numeric - example of the string would be C004658
3. When new contact is entered, it should look up the highest numeric value (in this case 004658) and increment it by one - resulting in C004659

Incrementing Or Updating A TIMESTAMP Field.

Jul 23, 2005

Hi,I'm in the process of implementing a multi-user system containing anadjacency list (tree structure). I'm using a TIMESTAMP field on eachrecord in the adjacency list in order to tell when a node has been changedsince the last read. Sometimes though, it is useful to flag a "parent" (orall ancestors or a node) as being changed if any of its children have. Isthere any way I can force an update to the parent TIMESTAMP field withoutactually modifying any of the other fields in the record? Something likethis (assuming I have a field called [Timestamp]):UPDATE Adjacency SET [Timestamp] = [Timestamp] + 1 WHERE ID = @_In_IDNow, will the timestamp be incremented here by 1, or will SQL server getconfused as in theory it must "update the timestamp after updating thetimestamp" for this record?Thanks,Robin

Updating Column Values In Multipe Tables

May 26, 2000

I am looking for suggestions on how to accomplish the following task with the least amount of hand keying that I can get away with.

I have a main table named Office and 4 other tables that have the Office table ID field value in them.
I have been given a new set of ID values that need to replace the values that are currently in the Office table and then update the ID field in the other 4 tables.

I have only thought of 2 solution and I don’t like either one.
1 Add a new column to the Office table and key in the new ID’s then go through the pages that reference the old ID field and change the SQL queries to use the new field.

2 Change the value of the current Office ID field to the new value. Search the other 4 tables for the old value and then update them to the new value.

Anyone got a better Idea?

What's The Best Method For Updating Related Data?

Jul 31, 2006

Can you describe the best (or your preferred) method for updating data held in a related table using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server.
For example; if you had a stock control system with the product names and current stock levels in one table and all stock movements in and out held in another table, what is the best, fastest, safest and most reliable method of inserting a stock movement and then updating the current stock level?
I have tried a couple of different methods but would really appreciate a wider range of opinions.
Thanks

Auto-updating Display

Feb 17, 2004

Hi,

I would like to create an application that displays the status of my machines almost real-time (Run, Down, or idle etc). And I'm wondering what is the common method to accomplish this? Do you tell the application to keep going out and getting the status of the machines at a specific interval? or Do you have a way for the application to just 'listen' if a status update is available for the specific machines? If so, how? I only have a 'Read' access to the database. Also, other applications update the database (and I don't have access to those applications.) My application will be in VB.NET. Thanks for any leads.

do i have select only the specific fields I want? or can I exclude the supplier_id and the id from the supplier table?

Indexes On Related Tables...

Jun 17, 2007

Hi,

I have 2 tables with this design: one has ArticleID as primary key and multiple other fields and one has GroupID as primary key and multiple other fields. Each article can belong in multiple groups so I created a new table called articleGroups with only 2 fields: ArticleID and GroupID to show the groups associated with each article. There is a relation between this table and each of the main 2 tables. My question is, in the articleGroup table, does it make any sense to create an Index on ArticleID, GroupID or both? Since the group is needed for each article the Groups will always be queried everytime the article is queried. So, I am not sure if an index is needed?

Thank you,


Regards,

Iulian
