Two Column Auto-number/identity
Oct 8, 2007Hi,
I have the following two tables:
Code:
create table RECORD
(
ID int not null,
Issue_descr varchar(256) not null,
Priority varchar(5) not null,
Status varchar(12) not null,
Date_add varchar(10) not null,
Date_due varchar(10) not null,
Date_complete varchar(10),
PName varchar(32),
primary key(ID),
foreign key(PName) references PROJECT(PName)
);
and
Code:
create table STEPS
(
ID int not null,
Num int not null,
Descr varchar(256),
Date_due varchar(10) not null,
Date_complete varchar(10),
Status varchar(12),
primary key(ID, Num),
foreign key(ID) references RECORD(ID)
);
I have set PK "ID" in table RECORD to auto identity(1,1). I have done the same for PK "num" in table STEPS.
However I am seeking this behavior in STEPS:
ID num
-- ----
19 1
19 2
19 3
20 1
20 2
21 1
but what I'm getting is PK num doesn't "reseed" or reset to 1 as "ID" changes. PK num just auto-increments regardless of ID. Is there a workaround?
Thanks.
Auto-number/Identity Column
Jul 20, 2005I am migrating a web application I wrote from ASP to ASP.Net, and fromAccess to MS SQL server.In the Access version, I did not use the auto number for creatinginvoices and other documents, because I heard somewhere (perhapsincorrectly) that if the db was ever compacted or otherwise changed,it could change the values of the auto-numbers. Not a good thing.So I wrote a routine that, just before creating a new record, wouldlook for the highest value in the table and create the new record withthe next number.So my question is, am I safe in assuming that in MS SQL that I can seta starting number for the next, let's say, invoice and that newnumbers will be issued in sequence, and that these numbers will neverchange? What happens if an invoice is deleted? is the number goneforever? Just wondering how others deal with these issues...thanks.Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

Insert Value In An Auto-identity Column
Jul 23, 2005I'm a bit new to SQL Server, but here is the problem I am trying to getaround:1. I have lets say an Employee table where the emp_id is an identitycolumn that is auto assigned by the db.2. I wish to insert values into the tables, but sometimes I may wish touse the value of the emp_id that i supply while inserting (andsometimes not).Is there any way in MS SQL to do this? For e.g. is it setup like aconstraint that I can temporarily drop. I do not want to alter thetable, so that option is ruled out.Any other ways to do this (I know bcp is one of them that allows me todo this, but looking for ways in the db itself using SQL if possible)Thanks,Bharat

View 8 Replies View RelatedSPROC Probs Creating A Non-identity Number Column
Jun 26, 2006Hi. I am trying to figure out the code for sorting a manual (non-identity) number column in my table. the purpose is to
show the user's pictures in perfect order (1,2,3,4,5,6...).
The Jist of my problem... When a user first inserts six pictures, he gets:
|1|
|2|
|3|
|4|
|5|
|6|
All is good. But, say he deletes picture |3|. Now the list order looks like this:
|1|
|2|
<- |3| is removed
|4|
|5|
|6|
And, then he inserts two more pictures, now he his this:
|1|
|2|
|4|
|5|
|6|
|7| <- |7| & |8| are added
|8|
What i want to acheive is a "reshuffling" of the number order every time a picture is removed. So, when |3| is removed, |4| becomes |3|, |5| becomes |4| and so on. There should never be a gap in the order.
I am new to stored procedures, and have been trying to figure this out. Below is my guesswork:
Code:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.sp_NewPersonalPic
(
@photo_name VARCHAR(50) = NULL,
@photo_location VARCHAR(100) = NULL,
@photo_size VARCHAR(50) = NULL,
@user_name VARCHAR(50) = NULL,
@photo_caption VARCHAR(150) = NULL,
@photo_default BIT = NULL,
@photo_private BIT = NULL,
@photo_number INTEGER = NULL,
@photo_date DATETIME = NULL
)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT @photo_date = CONVERT(DATETIME,convert(char(26), getdate(), 109))
END
BEGIN
SET @photo_number = 1
SELECT
@photo_number = (
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM dbo.PersonalPhotos b
WHERE
a.photo_date < b.photo_date
)
FROM
dbo.PersonalPhotos a
ORDER BY
a.photo_date
END
BEGIN
My thinking is that it would be a safe bet to use the "photo_date" column as a litmus for my "photo_number" column (ie, the most recent record inserted by the user will always be at a later date than the previously inserted record). So:
photo_number photo_date
|1| 2006-06-26 21:43:36.653
|2| 2006-06-26 21:43:50.000
|3| 2006-06-26 21:45:25.217
|4| 2006-06-26 21:45:33.763
|5| 2006-06-26 22:39:42.670
|6| 2006-06-26 22:39:49.200
If |3| is removed above, the numbers are reordered based on the time of entry sequence.
Any suggestions on how to acheive this in my stored procedure? Currenly, i get the correct order, but it goes crazy when i delete and add.
Thanks and sorry for the verbose post.

Auto Identity For Each Type
Jan 9, 2007Hello,
I am working on an accounting system using VB.NET and sql server 2005 as a database. the application should be used by multiple users.
i have a the following structure:
Voucher: ID (primary), Date,TypeID, ReferenceCode, .....
Type: ID, Code, Name. (the user can add new type anytime!)
(Ex: PV- payment voucher, JV - Journal Voucher ,....)
When adding a voucher the user will choose a type, according to this type (for each year) a counter will be increminted.
for example: PV1, PV2....PV233,... the other type will have its separate counter JV1, JV2 ,...JV4569,..
I am using the sqlTransaction cause i am doing other operations that should be transactional with the insertion of the Voucher.
The question is :
What is the best solution to generate a counter for each type?(With code sample)
Thanks.
Identity Value Not Auto Incrementing
Feb 19, 2008My Identity value column is not autoincrementing, its seed is set to 1, and increment set to 1.
yet when i click the auto generated 'Add New Record' button in the BindingNavigator control set (in a form where it is populated with databound text boxes), this Identity column is not auto incremented?
And if i try to write a value to this column, i get the error telling me this column cannot be written to. Yet if i do not write to it, then i get "This column does not allow nulls"
To load my data i am using:
Code Snippet
'clear dataset
Me.DsQuote.Clear()
'fill the datagrid with data from tblQuoteID
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DsQuote.tblQuoteID)
and to save data im using:
Code Snippet
Me.Validate()
'end data edit
Me.TblQuoteIDBindingSource.EndEdit()
'update the dataset with table data
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Update(DsQuote.tblQuoteID)
anything im doing wrong? this data is being viewed in a datagrid btw.

@@Identity Not Returning Value
Jun 23, 2004I have a stored procedure that inserts a record. I call the @@Identity variable and assign that to a variable in my SQL statement in my asp.net page.
That all worked fine when i did it just like that. Now I'm using a new stored procedure that inserts records into 3 tables successively, and the value of the @@Identity field is no longer being returned.
As you can see below, since I don't want the identity field value of the 2 latter records, I call for that value immediately after the first insert. I then use the value to populate the other 2 tables. I just can't figure out why the value is not being returned to my asp.net application. Think there's something wrong with the SP or no?
When I pass the value of the TicketID variable to a text field after the insert, it gives me "@TicketID".
Anyone have any ideas?

View 2 Replies View RelatedReturning The Identity Value After Insert?
Apr 5, 2008Hi All: I have what I'm sure is a common scenario...I have a table to track pageviews of a form, and which also tracks when a person viewing the form submits it.
The table has three fields: an INT identity/PK field, a DATETIME (default getdate()) field, and a BIT field with default "false".
When the page is viewed, I insert a record into the dB:
Protected Sub Page_load(ByVal src As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
conn = New SqlConnection("Server=myserver;Database=mydb;User ID=user;Password=password;Trusted_Connection=false;")
If Not IsPostBack Then
AddTrack()
End If
End Sub
Sub AddTrack()
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand
Dim insertTrack As String
insertTrack = "Insert PageTracker (submitted) Values (0)"myCommand = New SqlCommand(insertTrack, conn)
myCommand.Connection.Open()
Try
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()tempTxt.Text = "<br>Ticked</b><br>" & insertTrack
Catch ex As SqlException
tempTxt.Text = ex.Number.ToString()
End Try
myCommand.Connection.Close()
End Sub
And if I view the page, the record is inserted into the table. But now I need to know the value of the identity field, so when the form is submitted, I can update the field "submitted" from "0" to "1".
The way I would do it in ASP is to add a "SELECT @@identity" to the query, and get the value using RS.nextrecordset. How would I do this in .NET? or is there a better way for me to do this?

Returning The Identity Of The Last Value Added...
Nov 20, 2006Hi All,
I have a createStudent SProc. When this is called it calls a createContact SProc. This in turn calls a Create Address Stored procedure. Now when I create the address, an Identity column automatically creates a new Identity for me. I need to return this value back to the calling stored procedure. I know how to return a value and all, however, how to I get the identity just entered (the corresponding identity) reliably? I know that select MAX <Identity> could suffice in this case, but is flawed as if someone was to add another object near the same time we could get the wrong identity returned...
Thanks heaps

Replication :: Auto Identity Range Management?
Jun 14, 2010I'm having a problem with merge replication. My publisher and subscriber are SQL 2008 SP1, and my distributor is SQL 2008 R2. Currently, there is no access to the subscriber data aside from the replication agents, so there are no data changes going on there, data is only being modified on the Publisher. My plan was to get everything setup and do some internal testing before releasing the subscriber for use.

The above code returns null.
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
THanks, Justin.
SQL Query Not Returning Identity Field - Sometimes
Feb 2, 2006Hello, I have a C# application that adds records to a SQL Server database using a query something like this one:
INSERT INTO table_name
(first_name, last_name, date_added) ('john', 'smith', '1/1/2005 12:00:00pm') ;
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS [Scope_Identity]
This works fine unless there's already a John Smith in the database. When that happens, Scope_Identity is null even though the date_added is different. About half the time the record is added even though Scope_Identity is null. I've added code to notify me when this happens, but it's a pain in the neck to re-run my import utility for individual records.
(The table I'm adding to does have a autonumbered key field)
Thanks in advance!
