"I won't last a day without SQL"
I have a DTS package that deletes all the records in a table and repopulates from an ACCESS table. All's well except the primary key of the target table doesn't go back to 1.
What's the syntax in T-SQL to accomplish that?
I imagine it's dropping the column and adding it back - but since it's a primary key field, regular drop/add syntax isn't working for me.
Any help here is appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
Ho wdo i do this? when i delete records and then post a new one from the start I want that to be number 1? I am using MSSQL
View 10 Replies View RelatedOk - I have two tables that are relational. I have been inserted data into the tables because of testing. I also have been deleting data. My question is how do I reset the auto-incremented Primary key values.
For example:
Primary key of table one is bizID. Well there are only 3 record currently in the table. The bizIDs are 1-3. If I insert another record the bizID will be 88 because that was the next auto-incremented number. I obviously deleted the other records. I want to start the primary key value over from zero. How do I accomplish this? thnks
I'm still looking for a solution on msdn, but i've decided also to post my question here.
How can i reset my primary key field auto-increment back to 0 in runtime (or in designtime)?
I use Microsoft SQL Server and also I have several tables. One table has ID like PK, and name. ID use autoincrement number mode, and now when I want start form one but not from 156 or like that. I don't know how? And also when I delete all data from table an run my apllication and add something in table, it starts form last number, not from one.
Maybe can I do it from SQL menagement studio?
How I can reset table and start from 1?
Hello, I have a table where I'm deleting the contents before populating the table with new data. I have an ID column that is autogenerating a sequential number. I would like to reset this number back to 1 when I delete the contents of the table. How can this be accomplished?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow can I reset the number of Row_Number() if I exceed the number of rows specified.
Example:
Code:
Col1 RowNum
----------------------
ID1 1
ID1 2
ID1 3
ID1 4
ID1 5
ID1 1
ID1 2
ID1 3
ID1 4
In this example, the Row_Number will reset for every 5 items.
I have been testing my database application for a while now. As a result i have a lot of records already with their respective identity field values. What i want to do is to reset this field to 0 (zero) before i deploy the aplication. I have tried deleting all the records and entered one to see if the id will be 1 but it still starts from where it was before i deleted the records. Any ideas.

EX. Code for page of total pages
="Page " & Globals.PageNumber & " of " & Globals.TotalPages

Custom Code:
Shared offset as Integer
Shared currentgroup as object
Public Function GetGroupPageNumber(group as Object, pagenumber as Integer) as Object
If not (group = currentgroup)
offset = pagenumber - 1
currentgroup= group

Hi,
I'm having 2 issues on my first "real" SSRS report.
1. How to do a print preview via the preview tab. For print rendering, I have no print preview button on the preview toolbar. Is this normal? MS documention said that there is a Print Preview button. (BOL May 2007 - Designing & Creating reports -> working with report designer -> debugging and Publishing reports (Print Preview)) This report will always be rendered via the printer and it is a "pain" to have to always print it to see changes. The print layout option comes up all black with nothing viewable.
2. How do I reset page numbers back to 1 for report groups? I see no option for this. My report group requires a new page and I want page numbering to start at 1 when the grouping changes.
Note: I'm running VS2005 via Vista (with VS2005 Vista fix installed). SQL2005 SP2 also installed.
Any advice on this will be appreciated. I've spent too much time already where this should be obvious.

I have a table in my db that has an identity column as the primary key. I have deleted all the data and have tried to use truncate table on it to reset the identity column. The table has a number of foreign key constraints so it will not truncate.
Is there any way to reset the indentity column without removing the constraints?
My UDF
FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_concat_boxes](@item varchar(10), @week int, @type char(1))
RETURNS VARCHAR(100)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Output varchar(100)
SELECT @Output = COALESCE(@Output + '/', '') +
CAST(quantity AS varchar(5))
FROM flexing_stock_transactions
WHERE item = @item AND week = @week AND firm_or_commission = @type
GROUP BY quantity
ORDER BY quantity
RETURN @Output
END
gives the same output every time it is called, despite different parameters passed. @Output does not change as expected.
Any ideas guys?

Hi,
consider my table,
s.no priority status
1 2 pending
2 3 pending

6 1 pending
the priority must be reset as follows,
s.no priority status
1 3 pending

3 0 completed
4 2 pending
5 0 completed

I have a few SQL tables that use an auto incrementing integer key field, ie it has 'is identify' set to yes
The tables have been used for testing while the application was developed.
I plan to delete all data from these tables when the application goes live. Is there a way to start SQL counting from 1 again without deleting and re-creating thr tables?

In my application , DB has a large table. I write a small program to clear the table whenever the size of table is over 50 MB. At that time , I want to reset identity as 1. How can I do that?
Currently , my program delete old table and generate a new one with the same schema when the table is too large.But this is kind of ugly.

Can a column of Identity type reset after it reaches its maximum value?
Thanks,

This morning I made a change to two tables in my live system. All I did was add a new column in each called 'suspense' with a data type of bit and a default value of '0'.
When the users started using the system they noticed that the record ID numbers had reset and were starting from 1 and going up 2, 3, 4 etc. The last good id number was about 20500. The id columns are set as primary key with identity and increment of 1.
This shouldn't happen should it? Is it a bug? I never touched the ID column, just added the new one.

I'm trying to create a trigger that will clear the "checked" field when all items with the same classification have been checked.
The purpose of this is to do cycle counting of inventory, which is when you count the stock levels of a proportion of stock that have the same classification.
The checked field will be used to record the date it was lasted checked and will cleared once all stock have counted, putting back into the pool of stock to be counted.
Therefore, the trigger is suppose to count the number of rows that share the same classification as the amended row, and compare that with the number of rows in that classification, that have a date in the checked date field. When the two values are the same, reset all the checked dates to blank.
But when I tested it, nothing happened ...
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[UDEF_Last_Checked_Reset] ON [dbo].[ASC_PMA_TBL]
AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @PartOnly varchar(16) -- Part Number
DECLARE @Rev varchar(4) -- Part Revision
DECLARE @PartCode as varchar(2) -- Part Classification
DECLARE @Last_Checked as datetime -- Checked Date

How I can reset table and start from 1?
We are about the deploy our project. We made many testing such as Random data insertion etc. Some tables have autoincrement column, and their numbers reached 3,000,000. After testing, we delete all data in database. Now question is how can we truncate all tables, and make fresh start. We may use TRUNCATE query but it is boring and giving errors some time. Is there way to reset whole database, and make a fresh start, like no data entered before.????
Thanks for help, Happy Coding
