I would like to create a field that increments automatically by 1 - to use it as an identifier for a row. This is so dammed simple but I can not find how to do it !
Thank you very much for any help.
By the way I configure SQLExpress with VS2005 and SQL Express Manager.
Thank you very much,

my favorit hoster is ASPnix : www.aspnix.com !
I have a table that consists of an invoice number, the ordering user's customer number, and current shipping status of the invoice.
What I would like is for the invoice number to auto increment whenever I insert into the table. I'm using SQL Server, but I can't find something to check (or whatever) in Enterprise Manager.
I'm certain it's possible, I just have no idea how. Please help!
Cheers,

I am trying to pull data from a table. I would like to group this dataset by a datetime field.
The result I want is for the records to be grouped together by their create time ( in this case using half hour increments.) All records created from the first half hour get grouped together, all records from the second half hour get grouped together etc. This dataset will contain data from a 24 hour time period (48 groups of data). What is the best way to accomplish? Do I need to use a cursor to accomplish?
Thanks
Hello all,
I have the following very simple SQL Query:
SELECT TOP (100) AutoNumber, Date, ZNT, SAT, RAT, RH
FROM HV_Values
ORDER BY Date ASC
This shows the top 100 entries for a table (where there is a date entry every 5 minutes). Here's five sample records:
1 12/4/2006 4:12:11 PM 67.13 70.50 71.56 8.23
2 12/4/2006 4:17:11 PM 67.13 70.50 71.56 8.33
3 12/4/2006 4:22:11 PM 67.19 70.69 71.69 8.19
4 12/4/2006 4:27:11 PM 67.19 70.63 71.69 8.18
5 12/4/2006 4:32:11 PM 67.19 70.69 71.75 8.05
What I'd like to do with the sample query above is take an AVG for one hour for the values ZNT, SAT, RAT, RH...like I stated the records are every five minutes in the table, I'd like to create 60 minute AVGs.
Any ideas or sample queries I can work with?
Thank you very much! gad1
I have an issue with a stored procedure activation on a service broker queue. The activation stored procedure simply RECEIVES the top message and then INSERTs a row into a table with an identity INT column. Each row inserted has the identity column value incremented by 2 rather than 1. Only one row is inserted in the table.
If the activation is set to OFF and then manually calling the original stored procedure the insert works fine and the identity column value is only incremented by one.
Do you have any suggestions on why the identity column value increments by 2?
Thanks.
I am trying to populate a field in a SQL table based on the valuesreturned from using substring on a text field.Example:Field Name = RecNumField Value = 024071023The 7th and 8th character of this number is the year. I am able toget those digits by saying substring(recnum,7,2) and I get '02'. Nowwhat I need to do is determine if this is >= 50 then concatenate a'19' to the front of it or if it is less that '50' concatenate a '20'.This particular example should return '2002'. Then I want to take theresult of this and populate a field called TaxYear.Any help would be greatly apprecaietd.Mark

I have the following fields in table A:
GL_ID|GL_Name_VC | Amount |Period_TI|Year_SI
===================================================
1000| Inventory| 8,000.00 | 01 | 2005
===================================================

the fields above have the following datatype:
Fields | Datatype
===================================
GL_ID | Integer
GL_Name_VC | Variable Character
Amount | Integer
Period_TI | TinyInteger
Year_SI | SmallInteger
The above database is running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and i would like to query
for a report that looks something as below:
GL_ID | GL_Name_VC |Op Bal|Period_Dr|Period_Cr|Period Bal|Closing Bal
======================================================================
1000 | Inventory |8,000 | 5,000 | -3,000 | 2,000 |10,000
The above report has an Op Bal column which is the sum of all amount in Period 01 in
Year 2005 carried forward as opening balance in Period 02, Period_Dr Column would contain
all positive amount in Period 02 & Period_Cr Column would contain all negative amount
in Period 02. Period Bal is the summation of both Period_Dr & Period_Cr and Closing Bal
column is the summation of Op Bal + Period Bal.
Guys, hope someone out there can help me with the sql command for the above report?

Hi -
I know my way around VS but I am just exploring "advanced" SQL Server 2005 and have run into a challenge which I think a trigger could solve, but I am not sure and also don't know how to set that up. So any help or links to tutorials are highly appreciated.
Here is the challenge: I have a table with a number of fields, among them RequestID (bigint) and Booktime (datetime). What I would like to happen is whenever someone writes a value different from NULL into RequestID, Booktime gets set to the current timestamp. When RequestID gets set to NULL, Booktime gets set to NULL.
Is there a way to do this with a trigger (or an otherwise elegant way)?
Thanks in advance for ANY help or ideas.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am between the "newbie" and "intermediate" stages of writing SQL code and I am wondering if there is a way to capture multiple results into one field so I can basically create a "set" for a unique identifier. Here is few result samples I receive from this code I am using now.
ReqNo ProcID
7102005 1409
7102005 1796
7139003 1411
7139003 6097
7261030 1409
7261030 1796
7268303 3998
7268303 4000
I would like to create a single row for each "ReqNo" and have a field that will an array of the "ProcID" results I receive. In other words, for the first "ReqNo" 7102005, can I create a field that will combine the 1409, 1796 into one field? I am trying to capture an array of integers used for that "ReqNo" so I can use that as a unique identifier in a join for another table.
So, ideally my result would be:
ReqNo ProcSet
7102005 1409, 1796
7139003 1411, 6097
7261030 1409, 1796

I'm want to store a time from a datetimepicker control(format = time) into a sql table. I'm using c# and windows forms with vs2008. Some example code would be nice. Thanks.
// dateTimePicker2
//
this.dateTimePicker2.Format = System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePickerFormat.Time;
this.dateTimePicker2.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(225, 21);
this.dateTimePicker2.Name = "dateTimePicker2";
this.dateTimePicker2.ShowUpDown = true;
this.dateTimePicker2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(96, 20);
this.dateTimePicker2.TabIndex = 1;
Question?
1. What type should the time field be in the sql table? I want to be able to calculate with it at some time.
What would be the recommendation/approach in creating a seperate field in which joins several differate fields together.
I have a table with field name a, b, and c. I want the information in those fields to be populated in a seperate field, d.
So instead of:
a
122
b
joe
c
st
I would have:
d
122 joe st

I am a C# developer who was forced to use a DataSet with Infragistics grid instead of the class object I was using as a data source, so that I can implement an AddNew functionality directly in the grid.
In code I would simply add a read only property to do this, and it was much simpler, but if someone could point in the right direction as to can a view do what I want.
The field I want to create is called "Info" short for HasInfo.
Info has 3 values (from an enumeration) NoInfo = 0; HasResume = 1; HasHomeInfo = 2
The business logic for this is if we have a resume, I show a resume icon in the grid, if we do not have a resume, if we have home phone # or mobil # then an icon of phones are shown in the grid.
To find out if a contact has a resume the SQL is going to be something like if exists (select ContactResumeID from ContactResume Where ContactResume.ContactID = Contact.ContactID) then 1; and if that is not true; check if Contact.HomePhone is Not Null Or Empty or Contact.WorkPhone is not null or empty then 2 else 0
I can do this in C# blindfolded, but in SQL I am fish out of water for compound if statements.
The SQL for this view is shown below (creating using SQL Server Gui Selector which I think is real cool).
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER VIEW [dbo].[Employees]
AS
SELECT dbo.Company.CompanyID,
dbo.Company.Name AS CompanyName,
dbo.Contact.FirstName,
dbo.Contact.LastName,
dbo.Position.Title,
dbo.Department.DepartmentName,
dbo.ContactPosition.WorkPhone,
dbo.ContactPosition.Extension,
dbo.Contact.ContactID,
dbo.ContactPosition.ContactPositionID,
dbo.Department.DepartmentID,
dbo.Position.PositionID
FROM dbo.ContactPosition INNER JOIN dbo.Contact
ON dbo.ContactPosition.ContactID = dbo.Contact.ContactID INNER JOIN dbo.Position
ON dbo.ContactPosition.PositionID = dbo.Position.PositionID INNER JOIN dbo.Department
ON dbo.Position.DepartmentID = dbo.Department.DepartmentID INNER JOIN dbo.Company

I'm trying to create a calculated field that gives me the avg 75 percentile.
Right now I get this value by doing the following:
Create data set:
Select top 75 percent <field>
from <table>
Then I create the following calculated field
Avg(Fields!<field>.value,"<data_set_name>")
But I wanted to be able to create a calculated field that gives me the avg 75 percentile without creating a separate data set to get the top 75 percent Value.
Is it possible?
Thanks!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm very new to SQL server and can use some help. MyTable has ColumnA, which contains strings composed of 1 to 4 numeric characters (0 thru 9) followed by alphabetic characters. For example, "53ASDF". In my query, I need to create ColumnB, which takes the numeric prefix from ColumnA's string and prepends it with zeros, if necessary, to create a string of exactly 4 numeric characters. For example, I could get the following result:
ColA ColB
"6abc" "0006"
"457def" "0457"
"7232hij" "7232"
I have implemented a temporary solution using a CASE statement:
SELECT ColA, ColB =
CASE
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 4)) = 1 THEN (LEFT(ColA, 4))
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 3)) = 1 THEN '0' + (LEFT(ColA, 3))
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 2)) = 1 THEN '00' + (LEFT(ColA, 2))
WHEN ISNUMERIC(LEFT(ColA, 1)) = 1 THEN '000' + (LEFT(ColA, 1))
ELSE ''
END
FROM MyTable
Because of additional complexities, I need to implement the solution with a loop instead of a CASE statement. Can someone please describe such a solution?
I'm very confused about how variables work in SQL Server, but made an attempt to implement a solution. Hopefully, someone can make corrections and describe how to use it with a SELECT statement. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. This is what I started with:
DECLARE @ColBstring char(4)
DECLARE @num int
SET @ColBstring = ''
SET num = 1;
-- Get the numeric prefix from ColumnA's string
WHILE(isnumeric(substring(colA, 1, num)) = 1)
@ColBstring = (substring(colA, 1, num)
num = num + 1
-- Prepend the ColumnB string with zeros
WHILE(LEN(@ColBstring) < 4)
@ColBstring = '0' + @ColBstring

Hello Friends,
I am creating a report in which I want to create group column using two field value. Is it possible to do so? We have a requirement in which we are fetching data from two different hierarchy.
A B C D E F G H I J K

The report matrix look like the above one. The elements A,B,C are coming from one hierarchy and D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K are coming from other hierarchy. But i have created one data set to fetch the values for the report.

Hi,
I want to execute some queries inside a stored procedure, get the data and create from them some strings with formatted parts (bold, italic, underline, different color fonts) and save them in a text field. These strings are going to be displayed in some DBRichText control in a database application built with Delphi. Is there an easy way to create these complex rtf formats in MSSQL
or some ideas regarding this problem?
