I am using sybase aSE12.5. I have a table with only one column with
datatype char(2). when i query this table to select all the records, i
should get these records in the ascending order and they should be numbered
, i.e, the o/p should look something like this
column_name
------ --------
1 AB
2 AC
3 AD
and so on.
I cannot add an extra column and i need this to be done in a single query.
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.
What I need to do is add a lot number for each acct/trans code type. This is merely a sequential number for the transaction. This changes the output as follows:
I am trying to automatically insert records into my existing customer table. Is there a way when I insert these new records and assign the customer number that it can sequentially pick the next available unique customer number for each record that is inserted? for example the first record would be customer number 100, the next 101, and so on? Please advise.
I have a temp table that's populated with an insert query in as toredprocedure. The temp table has a uniqueID as the primary key.In that table I have a column SortOrder.What I want to do is to create a sequential number in SortOrder butonly for records matching a WHERE statement, for example:(pardon the shorthand...)Insert *.tblPermanent into tblTempIf myField = 1 thenSortOrder = 1(2,3,4,5,.....etc.)elseSortOrder = 0Thankslq
I have a column within a table which is already truncated/deleted all records within (Microsoft SQL 2008). I have to now populate the column with sequential numbers up to 50,000 records arbitrary numbers (doesn't mater) up to 7 characters.
what SQL statement I need to write that will automatically polulate the newly empty table with A000001,A0000002,A0000003, or any form for that matter etc so that I can sort number the records within the table.
I have approximately 50000 records which I need to sequentially entered and I really dont want to number the column manually via hand editing.
I have a database that is pre-populated with sequential part numbers.As people reserve the parts I update a flag to show the # is no longeravailable. Now they want the ability to take out a block of "x"number of sequential part numbers - say for example 5.If my database had the following numbers available:101104105110111112113114It should return 110 thru 114 and then I would write an update queryto change the flags to 1 (checked out).I have only been able to return the first "x" number of records - havenot been able to make sure they are stepped sequentially - with thefollowing:SELECT ID_ITEM From PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL M Where (Select Count(*)FROM PARTNO_CHKOUT_SPECIAL NWHERE N.ID_ITEM <= M.ID_ITEM) >= 0 AND TYPE_REC=1 ANDFLAG_CHECKED_OUT=0 {maxrows 5}The above would return 101, 104, 105, 110, 111I tried using an (N.ID_ITEM+1)-M.ID_ITEM=0 to try stepping and geterrors, probably incorrect syntax. Can I do this in an SQL statement?
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.
A simple question! I would like to create a database that creates say serial numbers and saves them to a table. If poss I would like to create them on demend and not duplicate.....
I want to generate a resultset that is just a series of numbers inascending order or perhaps a series of dates.. What I mean is, isthere a way to generate a temporary table of dates given an input of astart date and an end date.. This table would then contain an entryfor each date in ascending order from the start date to and includingthe end date..Or perhaps with numbers, given a start of 5 and and end of 7the resulting table would be567Would appreciate any help with this one.. ThanksChris
Hi All, I need to opening up a browser page everyday at 6am. (What I am trying to do is to send an email with some formatted output everyday at 6am) Is there anyway to achive this via SQL 05 Express? Thanks, Mal.
Can you help me with SQL issue I€™m stuck on? I wish to take source data that looks like this:
Invoic_num
Line_num
6658
0
6658
2
6658
8
7721
2
7721
3
And rebuild the line numbers like this:
Invoic_num
Line_num
6658
1
6658
2
6658
3
7721
1
7721
2
This seems completely impossible to me. So I was thinking that maybe a second procedure using update could be run against the table after the initial build.
Hi There,I want to create a column that usto numbers upto a specified value, and the resets.

Here's an example of what I'm after.AutoRow1234 -------- reset1234 --------resetAny help would be great, many thanksStuart
Hi! Let's say users of my app can build some reports based on a current database schema and my custom-database adapter will generate some SQL to get the right data. User can save his report template ( basically data needed to create SQL ) in some storage. Will it be better solution to generate stored procedure for such report and save stored proc to a database and their name with raport data so next time user needs this report it will use stored proc.

I am new to programming and sqlserver 2000. i use sql2000 as my database server...
I have a problem on auto-generating medicine codes. and i hope someone would help me with my script.
as you noticed i declared two variables (@id and @code). I am having a problem in generating @code... i would just like to create an autogenerated medicines_code from another field from another table (hosp_counter.counter_id)
here is how my medicines_code should look like ('MEDS34') "where 34 is from a counter_id in hosp_counter table...
but it only creates a medicines_code = 'M' (below is the result)
34(this is from counter_id)M(this is the autogenerated code)AUTOGENERATE11111010110012110010000000018/29/2007 11:29:46 AM1/1/19001/1/1900
here is my script in autogenerating medicine code...
Hi,Please can you let me know the best solution for creating a primary key which automatically increments by 1 each time a record is added. My current Primary key is of type "Int" which increments by 1 each time, but I would like my primary key to contain "ABC" before the 1. So each time a record is added I would like to see:-ABC000001 ABC000002ABC000003Etc, EtcI am using SQL Server 2000 and creating an ASP.Net application, will I need to write code in a Stored Procedure to do this?Regards,Brett
Hi There,I am having a strange problem with my identity column...... 1). I have a table of Products that have an identity column auto-incremented by 1. 2). I have my asp program working quite well in which the Data entry operators are adding the products into my database..... and they do not have any interface through which they can delete products........ 3). My Database is running at Web server(MS SQL Server)My problem is that when i cehcked my database.... there were around 1000 records but the auto increment number have reached to 1500. and when i checked in details then i saw that Auto number column is being skipped certain numbers..... like one entry is 1478 then the next one comes to be 1482..... and 1508 to 1516........ Its happening alot of times and it seems that SQL Server is skipping some numbers............Since it is Auto-Number so i do not have control over it through my code.... So i think the coding might not be the problem...... I have set Identity seed as well as Identity Increment both to 1.Is there any thing that you can suggest me to do??(Thanx)
i would to make a column contains of 3 characters and 6 auto increment numbers (example: "DLL - 123456")

I have a database that has entries that I want sorted by date order. Each entry has an auto ID number allocated (primary key auto sequencing), which I want to change to reflect the sorting (so the first date has the first auto ID number and so on).I've gone into the database and sorted the entries as I want them. Then I've gone into Design View to delete and restablish the primary key autosequence. However, it is not keeping the date order in the database (ie entry ID 3140 date is 12/06/2015, but 3141 is 02/02/2012). How do I get it to maintain the order?
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.
Why does M$ Query Analyzer display all numbers as positive, no matterwhether they are truly positive or negative ?I am having to cast each column to varchar to find out if there areany negative numbers being hidden from me :(I tried checking Tools/Options/Connections/Use Regional Settings bothon and off, stopping and restarting M$ Query Analyer in betwixt, butno improvement.Am I missing some other option somewhere ?
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 '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)
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?
