Is there a way to get the last ROWGUIDCOL entered into a table? I don't believe that doing a SELECT MAX will work, and we really need a way to do this. Does anyone have a nifty way to do this?
TIA...
How would I get the value of a ROWGUID column of the row I just inserted? (like using @@identity for an identity column.)
Thanks!
Greetings,What is the point of Microsoft defining a ROWGUIDCOL property that canbe attached to a 'uniqueidentifier' column? This is defined as a columnthat is 'globally unique', but doesn't the uniqueidentifier datatypealready guarantee that? To make matters more confusing, they tell youin Books Online to add a Unique constraint because ROWGUIDCOL does notguarantee uniqueness...so what's the point?Apparently the only functionality attached to this property is that onlyone such column can exist per table and that it can be queried using the$ROWGUIDCOL keyword in SQL.Can anyone tell me the rationale for when to use this and when not to,or what the purpose of this property is?Thanks,Sam BendayanDB ArchitectUltimate SoftwareJoin Bytes!*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've run into the following problem using "select rowguidcol from [LinkedServer].[DBName].dbo.MyTable" (as opposed to using "select <rowguid column name>...".
Against a locally-connected database, the following SQL command works as expected:
SELECT rowguidcol from dbo.MyTable
However, If I run the same query against a linked server (using the 4-part notation), it fails with an 'Invalid column name 'rowguidcol'' error:
SELECT rowguidcol from [LinkedServer].[MyDB].dbo.MyTable
Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid column name 'rowguidcol'.
I've searched around but can't seem to find any info that tells me definitively that I can't use rowguidcol against linked tables, so I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong?
Any ideas on how to get around this issue would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to use actual column names, as this is for generated scripts.
More Info:
> I can select the data just fine from the linked server if I use the column name - so I don't think it's a configuration or permissions issue.
> The row I'm trying to view is, in fact, a rowguidcol. I used the exact same script to create the table on both the local (where select rowguidcol works) and the linked (where it doesn't) servers.
> Both servers are MS SQL 2005 Standard with SP2

Hi
Probably a dumb question but I'm doing an insert into a table with an identity field. How do I get the key back straight after I add it?
This is how I do the addition
SQLString = "Insert into users (username,password,status,campus, ulevel ) values ( @username, @password, @status, @campus, @ulevel)"
cmdInsert = new SQLCommand(SQLString, conn)
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@username", _username)
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@password", md5Hasher.ComputeHash(encoder.GetBytes(_password)))
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@status", _status)
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@campus", _campus)
cmdInsert.Parameters.Add( "@ulevel", _ulevel )
conn.Open()
cmdInsert.ExecuteNonQuery()
conn.close()
but about now I need the primary key just generated.
Any ideas?
Thanks

My database has many table, each table has a DateEntered (datetime), EnteredBy (nvarchar(50), LastUpdate (datetime), and LastUpdateBy (nvarachar(50). Is there an easy (ha) way to pull a list of the records that were entered and/or updated for a date range. Hopefully without a select for each table.
Maybe a tool someone knows of?
Hi
I have the problem that the below defined paramter gets entered in the database as a interger. the Field in the DB is a nvarchar(5) and the controll that suplies the value is a TextBox
this is the parameter definition:<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="tbComment" Name="Comment" PropertyName="Text" Type="String" />
Why do I get this error, why does ASP to whant to make an integerfrom this text field? When putting a interger value in the textbox all works well and the data gets posted to the database.
I use a SqlDataSource with automatic generated script.

Dear All,
What's the most efficient way of joining a 1 to many relation, where a record in table A will have multiple records in table B.
I'd like to select every record in table A but only joining the last relevant record from table B. So:
Table A:
A1 Prj1
A2 Prj2
Table B:
B1 A1 23/12/2005
B2 A1 26/12/2005
B3 A1 2/1/2007
B4 A2 25/12/2006
B5 A2 1/1/2007
So I'd like to list using the most efficient way this:
A1 Prj1 B3 2/1/2007
A2 Prj2 B5 1/1/2007
I'm assuming this is NOT the most efficient way:
select A, (select top 1 date from B orderBy ...)
Any suggestions?
I have a table where the designer allowed time reporting for 8 different types of activity on each timecard, then stored the hours by activity in 8 separate columns in the database. Example:
Table A.
Column Headers: Employee|Date|Phase1Hours|Phase2Hours, etc...
Data: Fred Jones| 7/15/13 |3|3, etc...
The problem is there is no way based on this structure to get an employee's hours for the day in columnar form.
To get this data into columnar form I have used Select queries with Union All, for instance:
SELECT Employee, Date, Phase1
FROM Table A
UNION ALL
SELECT Employee, Date, Phase2
FROM Table A
,etc.....
Query is running slow (I am guessing it is because the same table is repeatedly being accessed).
I have a VB.NET program that displays the time extracted from a SQL Server database datetime datatype by way of a User-defined scalar function I created. However, sometimes information is entered into the system through the program that does not have a time-- only a date. SQL Server automatically assigns a time of 12:00 AM to these values (since they're a datetime). Is there any way to detect when this happens in my user-defined scalar function so that when I try to extract time values, I can instead return a message/time of my choice? I would rather not assume that all 12:00 AM values are automatically inserted by SQL Server since this might not actually be the case.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
I'm having a problem with some data in our database, basically a web app is storing data into the DB and then recalling it to display to a user. The problem I am having is that for one particular function the DB is causing the app to fail, the app code works for 95% of the data inserted into the DB by the users but it is failing on a few records.. I'v gone through the data manually checking for funny characters or spaces or anything else which is different from the other records, but everything seems to be in order. I doubt very much that this is a system app code problem as the code is working perfectly for all the other records...
Can anyone advise me on what else I can check.. really stuck on this one guys

Hi,
I need to be able to prevent an invalid character from being entered into a sql 2000 databae on import from oracle.
In short, I need to exclude a certain character from being entered and need to be able to send an email which specifies that an attempt was made to enter this character, if the change was due to an insert or an update, the row to be affected in the target database, date and time info. Also the source of the data.
If this is not possible, is it viable to remove the character after insert and still send the email with the required info?
Any one any ideas?
Thanks

I understand that I can do this is SQL Server:
CREATE TABLE dbo.test1 (
Col1 int IDENTITY,
ColGUID uniqueidentifier rowguidcol NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DF_test1_ColGUID DEFAULT NEWSEQUENTIALID()
)
INSERT INTO dbo.test1 DEFAULT VALUES
SELECT rowguidcol FROM dbo.test1
SELECT ColGUID FROM dbo.test1
I get this result:
ColGUID
------------------------------------
ED2D1EF0-0408-DD11-A8EB-001AA0D389DB
ColGUID
------------------------------------
ED2D1EF0-0408-DD11-A8EB-001AA0D389DB
Here's the question: Is there any performance difference between using the actual column name and "rowguidcol"?
I would like to be able to script a trigger that uses the rowguidcol column. If I could use rowguidcol instead of the actual column name, I would not have to hard-code the column name in the trigger.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi again,
In ASP.net, is there any elegant way to handle a set of time inserts from a form when the 2nd time is past midnight?
Specifically, I have a form with 2 textboxes on it (startTime and endTime) that are set up to accept time values (using AJAX MaskedEditExtender for formatting/validation - pretty cool). This data is posted to a sub that enters the data into a table (T_Details). However, I've noticed that the data inserted as part of the record (SQL field is smalldatetime) doesn't take into account the fact that a time value past 23:59:59 in the "endTime" textbox is a time on the next day - it simply rolls to an A.M. date for the same day as the date for the pre-midnight value from the "startTime" textbox.
I'm sure that I can simply do some conditional coding and modify the date if necessary but is there a better way to do it? Thanks as always...this forum is a great resource
Hi, I'm inserting a few columns into my db (they all have a nvarchar(50) ).. but i noticed when i retrieve them out of the db, the length of the string always have some trailing white spaces behind them and such when I try to do stuff like dropdownlist.items.findbyvalue(), it normally fails.I did trace and before the string get into the db, they were teh right length. so I'm not sure where did I do things wrong? thanks

I keep getting this error:
'The value you entered is not consistent with the data type or length of the column'
when trying to enter data into a feild, the feild type is char and the length
is 100 i'm entering text 3 words long but no where near a 100 characters long
any one know why this is happening?
This is for Microsoft Server SQL 2012.
I'm trying to create a WHERE clause that will have different results depending on a parameter that is entered. For example, if you put in a number, it will only calculate the rows where the column ID matches that number. However, if you put in 0, which doesn't exist in that column ID, it will instead calculate all the data in the table.
So the below would be a very basic idea of what I'm trying to do, but I'm not sure how to do it with proper syntax.
WHERE IF ID=0, THEN do this
ELSE do this AND ID=#
Hi,I want to know the optimal solution, to find if all the data was entered. Lets say, Table A (date field) and for a given month, i need that all the days in the given month are present in the Table A. Right now i have different solutions, 1) a stored procedure which loops through all the days in the given month against a select statement on Table A2) a stored procedure, create a temp table which contains all the dates in the given month, and a single select statement using where condition (select * from.... where datefield not in (select * from...))I want to know what is the best solution of these two or any other solution.Thanks
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have 2 SQL server 2000 machines, I need to take a table from each one and combine them together based on a date time stamp. The first machine has a database that records information based on an event it is given a timestamp the value of variable is stored and a few other fields are stored in Table A. The second machine Table B has test data entered in a lab scenario. This is a manufacturing facility so the Table A data is recorded by means of a third party software. Whenever a sample is taken in the plant the event for Table A is triggered and recorded in the table. The test data may be entered on that sample in Table B several hours later the lab technician records the time that the sample was taken in Table B but it is not exact to match with the timestamp in Table A. I need to combine each of these tables into a new SQL server 2005 database on a new machine. After combining the tables which I am assuming I can based on a query that looks at the timestamp on both Tables A & B and match the rows up based on the closest timestamp. I need to continuously update these tables with the new data as it comes in. I havent worked with SQL for a couple of years and have looked at several ways to complete this task but havent had much luck. I have researched linked servers, SSIS, etc Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Then it will display the numbers of records found and ask the user to enter a different value.

I started the script where it will ask for "HANDLE" and display the number of records found with that "HANDLE"

Greetings!
I would like to create a database for keeping track of payroll data for employees where the supervisors (job coaches) on our workshop floor can use a Pocket PC device to record the hourly employee data on the fly. Then at the end of the day, the supervisor can place the device in a cradle of some sort and synch the newly entered data into the main database.
I'm guessing that SQL Server Compact edition would be perfect for this type of task? Is that correct? Can someone give me recommendations on how to go about setting this up? What should I use as the main database? SQL Server? Access? Any advice is appreciated!
