Auto Increment Field
Hey, Im building a site within Visual Studio 2005 and im using the SQL database system it provides. I currently have a number of tables each with a primary key that is set to the 'int' field type and also set to auto increment 1, 2, 3 etc etc. My question is it there a way to make this field increment automatically, providing a unique value but also automatically placing a couple of pre-defined letters before the number? Obviously it can't be an 'int' anymore because it'll be holding something like MEM1, MEM2 etc. Is there a way to do this is Visual Studio? Many Thanks!

.Auto-increment Field
Hi, I have a table with a primar key, what I really need is something like an IDENTITY, but with the character 'X' and the last to digits of the year added on the front.

How To Auto Increment A Primary ID Field?

How To Extract Auto-generated Int Identity PK Field Value Immediately After It's Made ?
Ok, let's say that I do a following inline INSERT statement..... INSERT INTO Car ( carMake, carModel ) VALUES ( 'Honda', 'S2000' ) When I do this, a carId int value will automatically be generated because it is the Car table's PK and is an int identity. How do I obtain this value so I can immediately use it in let's say, the following example. INSERT INTO Person ( carId ) VALUES ( @carId ) ..... where @carId is the value I need Maybe you would say I should do something like..... SELECT carId FROM Car WHERE carMake = 'Honda' AND carModel = 'S2000' However, let's assume that the carMake and the carModel fields are NOT unique. I'm sure there's an easy way to extract the new identity value (maybe even in the same query) as the INSERT, but I just don't know how. Thanks.

Need To Have 2 Auto Increment Columns (Seed, Increment)
Hello, I Have a table that needs to have 2 unique number. detail_id and detail_print_id. detail_id is already an IDENTITY. both fields need to be different, because when importing, it imports the same data into a table twice, with only a slight data change (and id is not one of the changes). So I thought i could do the following: detail_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,2), detail_print_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(2,2), --blah blah that way, the detail_id will always be odd, and the detail_print_id will always be even. however SQL Server 2005 only allows 1 identity per table, and both these fields need to be auto generated when the field is inserted, so as to prevent double data. is there anyway I can create a int column to auto increment, without the column being an IDENTITY?? also, I would prefer to not have to create a second table with a single column just for this work. Thanks, Justin

MS-SQL: Where's Auto Increment?
It's been a long time since I've had to check an index for the highest value, then add 1, to create a new unique key. These past few years, it seems this is usually done for you. But now that I'm working with MS-SQL, I don't see it. Is it there? It's doesn't seem to be inherent in the definition.

Auto-Increment
Hey, Here is what happened: Users for a long time have been able to post new topics in our forums. However, a short time ago, the some users began to experience problems. What I have narrowed it down to is that upon inserting into the table, sometimes id value for the topic is the same as an id that is already in the table, so it fails to insert the record (due to a constraint). However, the topic id column is an auto-increment column and should just assign the next number for the id value. Any ideas?

Auto Increment Primary Key
Dear all, I am using SQL express 2005 in visual studio 2008. I would like to use Form View to insert new record in the table. There is a column call "id". I think it is too stupid to let user enter a unique identifier instead of generating by the system. I know how to generate a random integer number in a normal TextBox. However, when I edit the InsertItemTemplate, I cannot modified the value of that textbox. For example, i couldn't use "TextBox1.Text = temp;" here. How can I achieve to change this TextBox's value by the system that I would like to generate a random interger. Thanks a lot. Regards, Eric Chan

Auto-increment My Primary Key: Why 2 Instead Of 1?
Hi all,I have a table where I have my ProdPK set up as Primary key, turned on "Is Identity" and set the Identity increment to 1. But each time I add a new item, the number incremented by 2... I have couple of other tables and they are all fine, just this particular table increased twice as it should. I check the setting against other tables and everything seems to be the same. By the way, this is adding the data to the table inside MS SQL Server Management Studio manually. I haven't done anything in the ASP.NET page yet. Thank you very much,Kenny.

Auto Increment In VBScript?
Ok, I've been charged with the task of setting up an IVR(interactive voice response) system for remote data entry. It was all going great till I got to the utility's Database connector. It wouldn't work, but I saw that the program also supported VBScript, great! I know VBScript. Simple task, setup a simple flow where data can be entered. I setup a DSN for the access database(not quite MS SQL, but close enough) I'd created. It gave me a syntax error when I tried to use '' in an auto increment field. I think the exact query was: "INSERT INTO test_table VALUES('',$RV[Store Number],'$RV[Objective]','question1','question2',question3');" The database setup was: id(AutoNumber),store_number(number),objective(text),q1(text),q2(text),q3(text) Changed the auto number in the query to a 0 and it worked fine, but of course it was only to test if it would work. It would create a duplicate row if it went further than the first row. I don't understand what my syntax error was. The $RV[*] are variables retrieved by procedures in the IVR scripting program. Need this for work so I can setup a demo of the system to present to my boss' bosses' bosses

Problem With Auto-increment Of An ID
Hello, I have a little problem with SQL Server 2005. I have chosen the option "auto-increment" for a column which includes the primary key. Moreover, I turned the option "Ignore double values" on. I get the datasets from a SSIS-Import-project. Unfortunately, the ID is getting incremented even if there are double values. For example: The first entries in the table have the IDs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Then I start the SSIS-project which tries to write the first 5 entries again in the database. Of course, the entries do not appear again in the db but a new entry gets the ID 11 instead of 6. Is there a setting, that the ID won't get incremented if there double values? Thanks M-l-G

I'm populating a table (TMP_SQL) with data from several other tables in our database. I need to create through SQL commands a counter variable to fill TMP_SQL's KEY1 field. The data I'm pulling in from other tables does not have a field that is always 100% gaurenteed unique, so I need to create a counter for a key field. Pseudo code: insert into TMP_SQL(tmp_key1, tmp_general1, tmp_general2, tmp_number1, ....) select @counter, someColumn, someColumn2, (select column3 from other table returning 1 row),... from table1 where things = things. How can I implement @counter = @counter + 1? Is this possible? I tried: DECLARE @COUNTER INT SET @COUNTER = 0 and then had @COUNTER = @COUNTER + 1 in my select statement; of course, I got the error about not being able to set variables in the same select as data-retrieval Computers never do what I tell them to...

How To Auto Increment An Alphanumeric Primary Key In SQL? :(
How to auto increment an alphanumeric Primary Key in SQL? :( Because I want to add something like this in the Primary Key, for example i'll add a new data with an alphanumeric value of ABC-0001, then I'll add another 1, and it auto increments to ABC-0002 and so on.. How can I do it? And if I'll add a new alpha character in the Primary Key field, for example DEF-0001, then I'll add another and it auto increments to 002, and so on, and it will go back to 0001 if i'll use another combination of alpha characters. for example, i'll add a new alpha character AAA, will it go back to 0001 or it will continue? T___T I hope u get my point.. I want my table to look like this if i have added the dataABC-0001ABC-0002DEF-0001DEF-0002AAA-0001then if il add a new 1, for example ABCit will auto increment to 0003 in the same field, it will look like this after addingABC-0001ABC-0002ABC-0003DEF-0001DEF-0002AAA-0001Will it be possible? :(

Primary Key Auto-increment Reset
Ok - 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

SqlTransaction's And Auto Increment Fields
Hi, So I'm having an issue with a SqlTransaction and retrieving the auto-increment ID after an insert. Presumably this is because I have to commit the transaction before the ID's are generated, but I need the ID's before I commit the transaction (because their is another part of the transaction that requires them). Is there any way to get these id's other than maybe getting the Max(ID) and auto-incrementing them myself in code to what they will be when the transaction is committed. If this is the best way how do I ensure no other connections can insert stuff while this transaction is going on? Or is there a better way to do this whole thing? (i don't know really know how to do stored procedures, and presumably this would be the best way, but is there a good way to do it not Stored Procedures) Thanks!
