View With Auto_increment Field
Dec 27, 2005
I am trying to create a view in MSSQL that has a column which is an
auto increment (or unique id) field but it doesn't work the way I want
it. Does anybody have an idea how to do this? The example below gives
me only 0 in the id field.
CREATE VIEW dbo.tree_x_categories
AS
SELECT @@ROWCOUNTas id, *
FROM <dbname>.dbo.tree_x_categories
GO
What I want is the fields from the table tree_x_categories plus an
additional field that has a unique identifier.
Many thnx,
Chris

I've tried copying the tutorials and this is the result:
test6 below is accepted:
CREATE TABLE test6(id smallint,first_name nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,last_name nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,movie nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY(id));
test7 below is rejected:
CREATE TABLE test7(id smallint auto_increment,first_name nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,last_name nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,movie nvarchar(50) NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY(id));
My provider is GoDaddy, the error message is -2147217900, with "Line 2: Incorrect syntax near 'auto_increment'.

does anyone know of a system stored procedure or table that can help me identify the original field name in an SQL table when given the alias of that field in the corresponding SQL view ?
e.g. something like :
Code:
select tableName, tableFieldName from ... where viewname = 'xxx' and viewFieldName = 'yyy'

When creating a View, I am able to link the tables togethor and pull the data that I am looking for without a problem. However, when I add a field that is a 'Text' field, I get the following error:
....Column 'dbo.commpay.fdescript' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.
If I add it to the GROUP BY clause, then I get the following error:
....The text, ntext and image data types cannot be compared or sorted, except when using IS NULL or LIKE operator.
This particular field is contains the description of the parts in our inventory table.
VIEW Statement:
SELECT dbo.armast.fcinvoice AS Invoice, dbo.commpay.fnCalcComm AS Commission, dbo.commpay.fnrate AS CommRate, dbo.armast.fbcompany AS Company, dbo.commpay.fdarpost AS InvDate, dbo.commpay.fpartno AS PartNum, dbo.commpay.fnamount AS Price, dbo.commpay.fsalespn AS RepID, dbo.commpay.fmdescript AS Description
FROM dbo.armast INNER JOIN dbo.commpay ON dbo.armast.fcinvoice = dbo.commpay.fcarinv INNER JOIN dbo.slspns ON dbo.commpay.fsalespn = dbo.slspns.fsalespn
GROUP BY dbo.armast.fcinvoice, dbo.commpay.fnCalcComm, dbo.commpay.fnrate, dbo.armast.fbcompany, dbo.commpay.fdarpost, dbo.commpay.fpartno, dbo.commpay.fnamount, dbo.commpay.fsalespn, dbo.commpay.fmdescript
Any assistance or guidance would be appreciated!

I've been running into more and more complexity with an application, becauseas time goes on - we need more and more high-level, rolled-up information.And so I've created views, and views that use other views.. and the queriesare getting slower and slower.This morning, I'm working on something like this:select<some columns>,"calculatedcolumn" = (select top 1 crap from stuff wherethingy='whatchamacallit')fromsomeviewnow, I realized that I need to really return "calculatedcolumn" in a coupleother places in the select like this - well, this is what I WANT to do:select<some columns>,calculatedcolumn = (select top 1 crap from stuff wherethingy='whatchamacallit'),otherfield = case SomeBitwhen 1 then calculatedcolumnelse count(somefield)end,otherfield1 = case SomeotherBitwhen 1 then calculatedcolumnelse sum(somefield)end,otherfield2 = case SomeBit2when 1 then calculatedcolumnelse avg(somefield)end,otherfield3 = case SomeBit3when 1 then calculatedcolumnelse count(somefield)end,fromsomeviewPoint is, I CAN'T do that, so I have to re-run that sub-select for EACH ofthese cases, and that is KILLING this stored procedure. It seems to me, thatif the database when and already got that field, for that row - I should beable to re-use, rather than going back out additional times.Is there a way to so this? Put simpler:selectx = (select top 1 user_id from users),bestUser=x,smartestUser=xfromUserscan I re-use "x" in that example. Thanks!

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
ON dbo.Position.CompanyID = dbo.Company.CompanyID
Thanks,

I have a table that houses fully qualified table names, roughly 15. How can I iterate that table and create a view ? For example, something like this
Code:
Create Table tocreateviewfrom (dbname varchar(100))
Insert Into tocreateviewfrom Values (foxfire.dbo.abcd), (foxfire.dbo.abcde), (foxfire.dbo.abcdf), (foxfire.dbo.abcdg), (foxfire.dbo.abcde), (foxfire.dbo.abcdl)
--Then somehow iterate each value in the field dbname to create a view something like
Create View viewcreatedfromtable As
Select * from foxfire.dbo.abcd
Union All
Select * from foxfire.dbo.abcde
[Code] ....
I tried this, but it is only printing the last result returned not the entire result set
Code:
Declare @database varchar(max), @sql varchar(max)
Declare c1 Cursor For
Select Program
from tocreateviewfrom
Open c1
[Code] .....

In Access, I use [Enter Date] in the Criteria field of the Query. I tried the same thing in SQL Server in the Criteria field of the View and it does not recognize this. Is there a comparable command in SQL to get user input into the Criteria field of a view?

Hi thereGot a interesting problem (depends on a point of view.....).Background :-Agent (within Domino) is run daily basis which extracts data fromDomino Notes application to SQL Server 2000 database. Agent firstremoves ALL contents and then appends ALL data.Reporting Tool is SQL Reporting Services (very cool !!).Problem :-Within Domino Notes, it can have a field which is mult-value fieldi.e. contain multi valuese.g.(from Helpdesk application)!HowTo!!Access Email;!HowTo!!Access the Web;etc..Need to create a view, then use sql to create stored proc, to be usedas the dataset for report within SQL Reporting services.Format. (using above as data as example)!HowTo!!Access Email; (1 row) WWL/SDR/04023/010 (DocID)!HowTo!!Access the Web; (2 row) WWL/SDR/04023/010 (DocID)I have a unique KEY within table called DocID. The report will have 8separate datasets (i.e. using subreports), all linked back to UniqueKey. That's easy.The dataset causing me hassle is the 1 above. How do u split outvalues as separate rows ?Name of field called --> "ImpFunctionsImpacted".Also, notes expert, who's working on the agent, tell's me the data canbe split either as a comma or semi-colon.Any suggestions most welcome.

When I am using a SQL Query I have an ability to control whether or not I am able to Include the Column Headers when copying or saving results.
The control exists in the Options > Query Results > Results to Grid > Include column headings etc.
My question is how to get this same ability when attempting to copy the results of a VIEW vs. a Query.
The idea is that when I setup a view it€™s a drag/drop type of query building (query building for dummies if you will). Once I have a view and click the Execute icon it will return all the records selected by the View. However, when I click the upper left/top box to select all rows and column and then try to copy/paste the records into Excel all the data copies just fine but the field name/column headers are not there.
How can I get the header fieldname date to copy/paste from View result set that I'm able to copy from a Query result set?
Thank you,
Mike

Hi,I use view to join difference table together for some function. However,when the "real" table fields changed (e.g. add/delete/change field). Theview table still use the "old fields".Therefore everytimes when I change the real table, I also needed open theview table and save it by SQL enterprise manager manually for update theview table field.Can we use a SQL command or other method to update it directly?Regards,Silas

I have a special need in a view for a money column to look like money and still be a money datatype. So I need it to look like $100.00 (prefered) or 100.00(can make work).
If I convert like this '$' + CONVERT (NVARCHAR(12), dbo.tblpayments.Amount, 1) it is now a nvarchar and will not work for me.
How can I cast so it is still money? by default the entries look like 100.0000.
They must remain a money datatype.

I had given one of our developers create view permissions, but he wants to also modify views that are not owned by him, they are owned by dbo.
I ran a profiler trace and determined that when he tries to modify a view using query designer in SQLem or right clicks in SQLem on the view and goes to properties, it is performing a ALTER VIEW. It does the same for dbo in a trace (an ALTER View). He gets a call failed and a permission error that he doesn't have create view permissions, object is owned by dbo, using both methods.
If it is doing an alter view how can I set permissions for that and why does it give a create view error when its really doing an alter view? Very confusing.
