I would like the numbers 000001 to 999999 to autogenerate in a new
database. I will be transfering information from another database and
in that database the numbers 000001 to 010000 are already taken. They
are used as identifiers in other programs and it would be easier if
they were stored as written. Using identity the 0's are eliminated.
Is there a way to keep them?
Thank you,

I have a report with a column which contains either a string such as "N/A" or a number such as 12. A user exports the report to Excel. In Excel the numbers are formatted as text.
I already tried to set the value as CDbl which returns error for the cells containing a string.
The requirement is to export the column to Excel with the numbers formatted as numbers and the strings such as "N/A' in the same column as string.
Any suggestions?
Hi
I have set a field “MessageId� as primary in a Messages table. What I want is that whenever user inserts a message through my site, the MsSql should automatically generate MessageId for the new message inserted, but this is not happening. Any suggestions, advice are highly appreciated. Thank You
Hi all
How do you autogenerate your own primary key in SQL.
Instead of SQL generating an IDENTIY number which would be 1, 2 ,3..etc
I was wanting to give it my own sequence of numbers, how exactly do I do that can anyone help??
I have a table that I am constantly updating with data. I would like to have the field SMT_ID be updated with an autonumber that is unique on creation of the record- similar to Access' "AutoNumber" feature.
Currently I am using the "Identity" DataType. This works great, but I need my field length to be more than 4. I need 12.
I cant change this in the "Design Table" properties. How do I change it?
As always- Thanks

I have a database that has few tables whose table Schema changes oftenly based on a flat file specification and I wanted to automate the process where I drop the table and recreate it with the new schema using an SSIS package. Any Ideas on how I can achieve this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello,
I got my sample application to work that I am building my proof of concept out of. I need to be able to auto generate a reply message that would normally be in the run routine. The only way I see to do this is pull it from a table but I do not want to do that. I have tried tests where I change the code to see if I can send a message back but I have to reinstall the assembly into the database which is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a way to change the message by either accessing the GUI and getting the string, calling another function to do this, or something like that. I want it so I can change the code in the run routine in VS 2005 but this does not work. I am sure their is a trick to do this but am not sure what that trick is. What is a good way to do this other than accessing a table in the database?
Thanks,

I have a stored proceedure that is adding a record to a database table. When the record is added using an insert statement, the ID field is autogenerated.
I have a second insert statement that inserts into a second table, however, I want/need? to use that ID field in order to link this additional information to the proper record in the initial table.
Is there an easy way to do a select or just pull the ID? I was thinking I could do a select before the final insert using 2 or 3 required fields of which used in a select altogether would be unique, but before I did that, I wanted to see if I was missing a better way. I posted the code below....

I have a table with a column ID of ContentID. The ID in that column is all NULLs. I need a way to change those nulls to a number. It does not matter what type of number it is as long as they are different. Can someone point me somewhere with a piece of T-SQL that I could use to do that. There are over 24000 rows so cursor change will not be very efficient.
Thanks for any help
Hi everyone!,
Our team is new to SSRS and we are trying to figure out how to refresh the data source view, autogenerate the corressponding report model and Re-Deploy the Report Model (rewrite existing Report Model) on the server on a periodoc basis or trigger the whole action whenever there is a change in the database on some specific tables.
We prefer to do this action through a Agent job ( a diff approach is also welcome).
Are there any stored procs out there?
Appreciate your time.

I have an 'ID' column. I'm up to about ID number 40000, but not all are in use, so ID 4354 might not be in any row. I want a list of all numbers which aren't in use. I want to write something like this:
select [numbers from 0 to 40000] where <number> not in (select distinct id from mytable)
but don't know how. Any clues?
I'm trying to write data to excel from an ssis component to a excel destination.
Even thought I'm writing numerics, every cell gets this error with a green tag:
Convert numbers stored as text to numbers
Excel Cells were all pre-formated to accounting 2 decimal, and if i manually type the exact data Im sending it formats just fine.
I'm hearing this a common problem -
On another project I was able to find a workaround for the web based version of excel, by writing this to the top of the file:
<style>.text { mso-number-format:@; } </style>
is there anything I can pre-set in excel (cells are already formated) or write to my file so that numerics are seen as numerics and not text.
Maybe some setting in my write drivers - using sql servers excel destination.
So close.. Thanks for any help or information.

is this possible?

I have a sales report that includes dollar amount, tonnage, and profit margin among other things. They are currently sorted by tonnage sold from highest to lowest. I'd like to be able to place a number in a column counting 1 up for tonnage ranking. I'd also like to get a number ranking for sales amount ranking along with profit margin ranking. The most tonnage sold might not have been the biggest sale nor had the highest profit margin.
Does this sound like something that can be done within SSRS?
I should ad I'm runing MDX queries against a cube so I can't use T-SQL for ranking.
Hi,
Is it possible to search in columns with a number datatype (I'm using an MS SQL database with bigint columns) with the ICriterion Expression.Like?
Normally the Expression.Like is used for varchar columns. However, if there's a bigint column with the value 167829 I want to search for example on %678%.

I needed to come up with an algorithm to create unique user- friendly account numbers such as AC0000000001, AC0000000002, etc...Where they increment by 1. I created a SQL function that retrieves the previous number generated, adds 1 to it, inserts the new value into the table, then returns the new value. I started thinking, what if the function is ran at the same time? What if function # 1 creates the new number, and function #2 creates a new number as well before function #1 inserts it? Is this a possible scenario? If so, how do I lock the process until the function completes to prevent this? Thanks for any help you provide.

I am developing a ASP.NET application using SQL Server as my database.
I want to create a number that is unique.
The number will have 8 digits.
first 2 digits correspond to year. ex:04 or 03
the next 6 digits start with 000001 and it should get added for each new entry of data.
i am not able to generate number in the way i said. I am relatively new to SQL. so any suggestions as how to go about solving the problem???. Are there any samples/codes available for this.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
thanks,

Looking for a way to round numbers to a specified number of significant digits. The ROUND function rounds to a specific decimal place but does not take into account the level of significance of the remaining numbers. (i.e.
ROUND(7.12435,2)=7.12000) The type of function I need would round the number in the following manner: SigFigRound(7.12435,3)=7.12 or
SigFigRound(7.12345,1)=7.
Any solutions?
Hello,
I am trying to run a query
select logid, count(logid) from temp2
group by logid
order by logid
compute sum(count(logid))
when I get the result the numbers are being truncated
eg instead of 10471066 it shows 104710 so last two digits
get truncated. Any ideas or hints appreciated.
Thanks

Hi All,
After working out the basics and getting a report to give me back rows based upon a dropdown list, i know want to ask how do i show the sum of values for a customer.
So the out put would look something like this
Customer Total
0001 12234.56
0002 232.98
0003 456.78
I have two tables "customer" and "trades" i all ready have them linked and giving me all the individual items, oh and i have got it doing BETWEEN to dates, but i would really like to know how to show just the TOTAL trades for each cutomer on each line not every single trade for the customer.
Many thanks for any help with this

I have the following table:
CREATE TABLE ITEMS ([ITEMID] int, [itRULE] varchar(1))
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (11, 3)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (12, 3)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (21, 2)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (22, 2)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (31, 1)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (32, 1)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (41, 0)
INSERT INTO ITEMS (ITEMID, itRULE) VALUES (42, 0)
-- Those works and gives me 11,12,21,22
SELECT ITEMID FROM ITEMS WHERE itRULE IN (2,3)
SELECT ITEMID FROM ITEMS WHERE itRULE IN ('2','3')
-- This doesn't works
declare @Rule varchar(10)
set @Rule='2,3'
SELECT ITEMID FROM ITEMS WHERE itRULE IN (@Rule)
Any idea?
I don't mind to change the data type if it works.
I am trying to get random numbers to have a unique value for different processes, then I can identify each process. What happens is that I use rand() function without seed, so I got my random numbers, but after shutting down SQLServer and try to get again another random number after booting up, the same series of random numbers is given again and again. So if anyone knows how I can get unique values,even though reseting the server, and using random function or any other method which automatically provides unique values,I'll really appreciate it if you let me know it.
This is the function: select rand()

I have two identical databases. I need to delete the even customer numbers from the first database and the odd numbers from the other database. I know I can do this writing a delete statement for each table. However there are a total of 54 tables.
Does anyone know a faster way to write the script without writing 54 scripts?
I would appreciate your help.
As always you guys are the greatest.

I have a table which will recieve and interface file to be loaded. All the fields are there except an account_id field which is a char(12), but the data is a number 000000000001, 000000000002, etc. These numbers are to be incremented by one. I understand how to write the process using a cursor to run through all the records and to increment them before loading. My question is the best way to get the max number in the existing table which is the char(12) , and icrement the number by one, but retain the leading zeroes I will need. Anyone had the pleasure of doing this providing input greatly appreciated.

I am using a MS Access ADP connected to SQL Server Data
In a view I have the following formula:
dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost + dbo.tblQuoteItem.Markup * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost * .01
this calculates cost + markup
I cannot get it to format in Currency
Ex:
Cost is $1.75
Markup is 2.00 (2%)
Total shows - 1.785000
I want $1.78
Also - I am using this formula to calculate the Quoted price for the Qty Entered
dbo.tblQuoteItem.Qty * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost + dbo.tblQuoteItem.Markup * dbo.tblQuoteItem.Cost * .01
Using a Qty of 2 for above, I get 3.535000
I want $3.53
