Hello
I have a table with two columns. First column is type and second column is ID. ID column must be unique and I want to give values in ascending order to the new records. For example first record's ID is 1 ,second one's is 2 ... How can I do this in sql server 2005?
hi, here i am trying to create a table in which i want give a property autonumber(i.e increments simultaneously for each new row) to a field.pls tell me the procedure for this in sql server2005
After deleting all the test data from all tables in a SQL 2000 database, is there a way to reset all the auto-incrementing fields back to zero in one shot? In Access, you can run the Compact and Repair option. Also, in Sybase SQL, there was an "unload/reload" option to reduce the database size. Is there a similar function in SQL2000? Thanks for all the help
can anyone give suggestions how to generating a number starting with certain numbers, example 33###, because when i insert new record into datatabase i want the number start 33111, or something and next record is 33112 thanks
Hi,I want to create a random unique auto generated number. dont wantto use GUIDs. Any other way to create it in isert statement itself,apart from storing a number in a table and increment while inserting.Help me!
I have a table namely Product with the following identity modifiers:- Column- "Num" Identity-Yes Identity Seed-1 Identity Increment-1
My problem is everytime i delete a row in the table Product, the Num column after the deleted row will not automatically replace the deleted Num column's data. Let say:
Num Name 30 Apple 31 Orange 32 Pineapple
If I delete row with Num 31, the Num column after the deleted row will not change to 31 but remain 32.
Num Name 30 Apple 32 Pineapple
What can I do to ensure that the Num column (Num 32) will change to Num 31?
I am inserting some data from a temp to an existing table. The existing table has a primary key that is a number that just appears to be number 1-460 (there are 460 rows in the table). The data type for the primary key is int.
When I insert from my temp table to the existing I want to be able to add the next number in but am not sure how I can set that up?? I have pasted my code below. I am inserting into Lab_test_add_conf and the primary key value is lab_test_conf_id. In my select statement where I am getting the values to input I just put a number for now but that isn't going to work. You can ignore the rest of the numbers I have inserted and commas with no values I actually need to go add those to the temp table and just set their default values but I just first wanted to determine how I can create an autonumber. This is a third party software so I don't want to change the actual datatype of the existing table.
Insert Into Lab_Test_Add_Conf (lab_test_conf_id,system_id,labtest_key,value_code, value_description,value_code_system,value_type,units,sequence_number,table_name, field_name,created_by,create_timestamp,modified_by,modify_timestamp,row_timestamp)
select '460','2250',labtestkey,valuecode,value_description,'L',value_type,units, sequence_number,table_name,field_name,'58',,'58',, from #TempLabTestConfigImport
How can I create a number sequence starting at a certain number and continue on for the number of records I have.
For example I have 3000 records in my table and a field named I created called RecordId which I'd like to start at number 1 and goto 3000 (or maybe even start at 9000 and goto 12000 or however many records there are).
In my pseudo SQL code Im guessing it would be something like...
select * from Incident
update Incident set RecordId( i=9000; i<=Number of Records in Table; i++)
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?
Is there any option to get the velue of auto increment number before inserting record.
My problem is that I want to get the auto increment number, for this I am using MaxId function, but If i have deleted the some rows from table, I could not get the actual.
For example there are 20record s in the table I have delete the last 3 records now I have the last value of Identity is 17. When I used the Maxid function It gives me the 18 number. But I need 21.
I 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."
I have one master table and multiple detail tables. The primary key of the master table is an auto-increment number, which is a foreign key in those detail tables. I am wondering if SQL Server allows us to get the next available auto-increment number of the master table up front. Thanks a lot.
Hello,I m creating forms in ASP.Net 2005 using C# language. I'm using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and my IDs are in A001, A002, A003...and so on. How can I auto generate this IDs? Like A001 +1=A002? Please help...In SQL server 2005 which datatype i should select and how can i code in ASP.NET with C#??On button click event the data is inserted and been shown onthe grid..Thanks
I have the following situation; I have one table (tblA) in which a new record just has been inserted. Once this insert is completed successfully, I want to insert a variable number of records into another table (tblB). The primary key of tblA is being used inside tblB as one of the columns in each insert. I’ve already been able to transfer the primary key, generated by the insert for tblA, pretty easy. But to make things a bit more complicated, the variable number of records to add is being decided by the outcome of a query based on an entry inside tblA (after the insert) and this is then being run on another table (tblC). The SELECT statement from tblC combined with the Select parameter from tblA will then decide how many records I have to insert. Sorry for the (perhaps) confusing way of writing this down, but I’ve been struggling with this for a couple of days now and I really need to get it working. Anybody who can help?Thanks in advance,Sunny Guam
Hi, in Access, I can use an Auto-Increment number for my primary key field. May I know how do I do that in SQL Express?
In addition, is there any tutorial on how to use SQL Express to generate customised unique numbers (such as membership number, Customer ID such as A001 where A is based on the customer's name while 001 is due to the fact that the customer is the first among those with names starting with A)?
I am attempting to import data from a Lotus Notes database using DTS. The SQL table I am importing to has an identifying auto-number. I can't insert directly into it because the SQL server should, however I get an error if I ignore it in the DTS package. Is there any way to get around this?
i am trying to insert an auot number field in my table which has got about million rows but sql 2005 is giving me na error "cant insert" i need to index my table so that the query runs faster when i perform joins on two of such huge tables.. i tryid inserting the identity key the way it was mentioned in the forum but sql doesnt let me do that??
Need help on the Auto Number or Identity Seed on the Oracle DatabaseI got an Access database that need to be converted to Oracle 9i.Somehow the Trigger we created to simulate the "AUTO NUMBER" on Accesscould not create the sequence number as soon as the value has beeninserted. The sequence number can only be created after we go to thesecond line. Please see the trigger below.Is there anyway we could create a trigger that could create thesequence number as soon as we enter a value? It should be verysimilar to the "Auto Number" on Access, or "Identity Seed" on SQLServer.----------------------------------------------------------1. sequence SNP.SECTION_ID_SQ:CREATE SEQUENCE SNP.SECTION_ID_SQSTART WITH 1INCREMENT BY 1NOMINVALUENOMAXVALUENOCYCLECACHE 20NOORDER/GRANT SELECT ON SNP.SECTION_ID_SQ TO "PUBLIC"/2.

Can anyone help me figure out how to set up a new table using SSIS with a record field that will generate a unique number? The record number is also the primary key in the table. I did this about a year ago with a bit of help, but once you get the language right and initiate the creation, the text for defining the table is no longer available. I have seen a lot of references for MySQL and MS SQL 2000 and an AUTO_Generate or a UNIQUE ID. None of this works within MS SQL 2005 in SSIS.
In SSIS, I created a flow and within that flow i need to create an automatic number generator. The flow is simple: Ole db source part, a multicast part and a flat file destination and a ole db destination. In the Ole db source there is no field that is the starting point for this generator. This automatic nr should start with 10000 and each time a row is found it should be increased by 1.
First question: is it possible to create a column in SSIS flow which is the starting point for the generator (in this case 10000) or should it be created in the source table?
Second question: where in SSIS and with what component can i create such a generator??
If there was a view that joined 2 tables and I accessed the view the 2 ID fields in the view would still have the AutoIncrement attribute still set to true so that I knew those were Identity fields.
In SQL server 2005
I dont' know why but if you reference a View that has Identiy AutoInc fields in ADO it doesn't keep those properties.
Also for whatever reason we Set the ID field to 0 to let ourselves know its a new Record. SQL 2000 let it happen and assumed it to be null where as By Setting the ID to 0 in SQL 2005 causes it to blow up on me.
Is there some sort of setting in SQL that can make SQL 2005 work like SQL 2000 in these two instances...
