Adding An Autonumber Column After The Fact?
Oct 26, 2005I have a csv file of quotes. I need to IMPORT the quotes into my SQL Server database. I created the table with an autonumber identity column, but the IMPORT fails because I can't INSERT NULL into my identity column. There is no option to autonumber or anything when I click the TRANSFORM button on the IMPORT wizard. So, I have decided to allow NULLS on the ID column and add the numbering later. I'd rather not have to manually number it, is there a way to do it with a query? I treid just setting it to not allow NULLS and to auto-incrememnt, but that didn't work....

Urgent Help! - How To Get The Column Selection?
Oct 4, 2004suppose i have a table penalties with
ticket_number, ticket_start_date datetime, ticket_end_date datetime
There are many records of same ticket_number.example:
ticket_number ticket_start_date ticket_end_date
75 2/1/03 3/2/03
75 2/4/03 5/4/03
34 2/1/03 3/3/04
34 3/4/04 3/3/05
I want to write a query which will:
1. select the ticket_number which is not active as of today
in case of ticket_number 75 it is closed so I want to print it in report
in case of 34 it was closed but now opened, so i don't want in my report.
Could anybody suggest a query how to do it?
I was trying with stored procedure and cursor :
-------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE simpleTest
AS
declare @Today datetime
set @Today = '10/04/2004'
declare @colA varchar(38)
declare @colB datetime
declare @colC datetime
declare @myCursor CURSOR
set @myCursor = CURSOR FAST_FORWARD
for
select distinct ticket_number, ticket_start_date, ticket_end_date
from penalties
where ticket_end_date <= @Today
open @myCursor
fetch next from @myCursor
into @colA, @colB, @colC
while @@fetch_status=0
begin
print @colA
print @colB
print @colC
fetch next from @myCursor
into @colA, @colB, @colC
end
close @myCursor
deallocate @myCursor
GO
-- =============================================
-- example to execute the store procedure
-- =============================================
EXECUTE simpleTest
GO
-------------
however this gives closed tickets but multiple records. I want only the last record details of the ticket_number.
I tried last(ticket_number) in my query, but it doesn't affect.
Please suggest! thanks.

AutoNumber Vs. Key
Oct 11, 2005Hi,I am always confused about what to use as the key for a table.Let's say I have a company-employee table.[company]---*[employee]My co-worker likes to use an AutoNumber or Counter as the key for the[employee] table (and everything).I personally use an actual key set for the [employee] table.So, his table will have one (Autonumber or LONG) column as the key. Thecompany_id is just another attribute.Mine, on the other hand, has 2 columns as the key. (i.e.) company_id +employee_idSo, what is the deal?--[color=blue]> There is no answer.> There has not been an answer.> There will not be an answer.> That IS the answer!> And I am screwed.> Deadline was due yesterday.>> There is no point to life.> THAT IS THE POINT.> And we are screwed.> We will run out of oil soon.[/color]

AutoNumber In SQL 2005
Jun 15, 2007Hello friends,
I am using Sql Server 2005 in my web application. In one scenario I had made one field of a table as Autonumber by keeping its datatype as int and then setting its Identity flag to true. Now is there any inbuild function that can give us the next number tat will be generated if a new record will be inserted. This is needed in the case if last 1 or 2 records are deleted for e.g.
last record has value 7 and if the record is deleted still for the new record the number generated will be 8 i.e. after 6 there is 8. So by any means can we get the next number, or can we keep that autonumber to move serially even in case some record is deleted it should go for the max + 1 number.
Please let me know.
Thanks & RegardsGirish Nehte
Can I Add An Autonumber To A View?
Dec 8, 2003Hi, I wish to build a datagrid, in an ASP.NET web page, in which I can display a row from a table and when I press a button it will move forward one row. The table is not currently sorted and I need it to be alpahbetical by surname so I thought if I created a view I could sort the table alphabetically on the 'Surname' column. I know that ADO.NET when used in disconnected mode doesn't have a cursor which remembers the last row it was on so I thought if I could create an autonumber on the view then I could use this in the 'where' clause to tell SQLserver which line I wished to select by taking the previous number and adding one. Is this the best way to do this and if so could some one give advice on how to write the line of the query that will add in an autonumber column
thanks
