Duplicate Counts Per Column
I'm have a problem with trying to generate a view that has a count of duplicates values per column in a table. example I have a table with the following structure: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestDpln]( [CountryCode] [smallint] NOT NULL DEFAULT ((0)), [NPA] [smallint] NOT NULL DEFAULT ((0)), [NXX] [smallint] NOT NULL DEFAULT ((0)), [XXXX] [smallint] NOT NULL DEFAULT ((0)), [3-Digit] [nvarchar](3) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [4-Digit] [nvarchar](4) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, [SiteIdx] [int] NULL DEFAULT ((0)), CONSTRAINT [TestDpln$PrimaryKey] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ( [CountryCode] ASC, [NPA] ASC, [NXX] ASC, [XXXX] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] the data loaded looks like this INSERT INTO dbo.TestDpln VALUES('1','312','555','1212','212','1212','1') INSERT INTO dbo.TestDpln VALUES('1','312','555','1213','213','1213','1') INSERT INTO dbo.TestDpln VALUES('1','525','555','2212','212','2212','2') INSERT INTO dbo.TestDpln VALUES('1','525','555','2213','213','2213','2') the results I need are SiteIdx 3 Digit Count 4 Digit Count ------- ------------- ------------- 1 2 0 2 2 0 I've tried various queries the closest being: SELECT DISTINCT SiteIdx, COUNT(*) as "3-Digit Count" FROM dbo.TestDpln GROUP BY SiteIdx, "3-Digit" HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 but it only shows one column and one site I'm not sure how to get the '4 Digit Count' column to show up and the rest of the sites. below are the results I get so far. SiteIdx 3 Digit Count ------- ------------- 1 2 any help would be great. Thanks Mike

Duplicate Data In Column
I know that I have duplicate data in a column. The column has over 40,000 rows so manual checking would not be feasible. I don't think the whole row is the same, but I know for a fact that one particular column has at least 2 rows with the same data. Help please!

Searching A Column For A Value To Avoid Inserting A Duplicate Value
Hi there, newbie here. I'm building a web application that allows for tagging of items, using ASP.NET 2.0, C# and SQL Server. I have my USERS, ITEMS and TAGS separated out into three tables, with an intersection table to connect them. Imagine a user has found an item they are interested in and is about to tag it. They type their tag into a textbox and hit Enter. Here's what I want to do: I want to search the TagText column in my TAGS table, to see if the chosen tag is already in the table. If it is, the existing entry will be used in the new relationship the user is creating. Thus I avoid inserting a duplicate value in this column and save space. If the value is not already in the column, a new entry will be created. Here's where I'm up to: I can type a tag into a textbox and then feed it to a query, which returns any matches to a GridView control. Now I'm stuck... I imagine I have to use "if else" scenario, but I'm unsure of the code I'll have to use. I also think that maybe ADO.NET could help me here, but I have not yet delved into this. Can anyone give me a few pointers to help me along? Cheers!

'Cannot Insert Duplicate Key' Error With Identity Column As PK
I guess there is first for everything...I had never seen error like this before Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_table1'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'table1'. The statement has been terminated. In this case Primary Key is Identity column. I do not include Idenity column in Insert statement. Incidently SQL server machines had cluster failure couple of days before. I am not sure whether it has anything to do with it. I see this error randomly. How should I debug it

Identity Column On Table And Ignore Duplicate On Index
Hello, I have a table with an Identity Column set up. I also have an index on the table that is set to Ignore Duplicate. Identity starts at 1 and is incremented by 1. So first 5 rows inserted get identity 1 2 3 4 5 If I insert rows that get ignored because of the index with Ignore Duplicate, it is ignored correctly. But, the next row to get inserted will have an identity value of 7. So, even though the insert was ignored because of the index with Ignore Duplicate, the Identity column was incremented behind the scenes. Is there any way to avoid this? Thanks, John

Ideas? Thanks, Ad.

CREATE TABLE DUPLICATE OBJECT/DUPLICATE FIELD NAME ERROR Msg 2714
Hello Everyone: I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer. When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12 There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database. Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12 Could not create constraint. See previous errors. I have duplicated this error with the following script: USE [testing] IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] ( [UserID] bigint NOT NULL, [Name] nvarchar(25) NULL, CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID) ) IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] ( [UserID] bigint NOT NULL, [Name] nvarchar(25) NULL, CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID) ) IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] ( [UserID] bigint NOT NULL, [Name] nvarchar(25) NULL, CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID) ) I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database. I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key. How do I fix this? TIA

Delete Rows With Duplicate Column Data But Unique Row Data
Hello, This probably has been addressed before but I was unable to get the search to work properly on this site. I am needing a script/way of deleting all rows from a DB with the exception of one record left for each row that has duplicate column data. Example : Row 1 Field1 = 12345 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc. Row 2 Field1 = 12345 Field2 =zzzzzz Field 3=xxxxxx Field4=yyyyyy etc. Row3 Field1 = 12345 Field2 =20202 Field 3=11111 Field4=zzzzz etc. Row 4 Field1 = 54321 Field2 =xxxxx Field 3=yyyyy Field4=zzzzz etc. Etc. Etc. I want to be able to find the duplicates for Field1 and then delete all but 1 of those rows.( I don't care which one I keep just so only one is left.) The data in the other fields may or may not be unique. I know how to find the duplicates it's just the deleting part I am having problems with. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Kerry

Alter Table Add Column - How Do You Add A Column After Say The Second Column
When you use "Alter Table add Column", it adds the column to the end of the list of fields. How do you insert the new column to position number 2 for instance given that you may have more than 2 columns? Create table T1 ( a varchar(20), b varchar(20), c varchar(20)) Alter table add column x varchar(20) so that the resulting table is T1 a varchar(20), x varchar(20), b varchar(20), c varchar(20) Can this be done programmatically?

Duplicate Key Ignored
I have a stored procedure that inserts records into a table with a Unique Clustered Index with ignore_Dup_Key ON. I can run the stored procedure fine, and get the message that duplicate keys were ignored, and I have the unique data that I want. When I try to execute this in a DTS package, it stops the package execution because an error message was returned. I have tried setting the fail on errors to OFF, but this has no effect. I found the bug notification that says this was corrected with service pack 1, and have now updgraded all the way to service pack 4, and still get the issue. I tried adding the select statement as described as a work-around in the bug, and still can't get it past the DTS. I have verified the service pack, re-booted, etc..... I am trying this in MSDE 2000a. Thoughts or comments? Thanks!

Duplicate Data
Hello all, I have recently been working on a project that requires one simple table to insert data into. The problem here is that all the data inserted must only access the database via stored procedure and I want to ensure that no duplicate data is inserted in the database. I have done quite a bit of research for many ways to perform duplicate data testing from building temp tables and on, but nothing has really stood out to me yet. I would really like to find some information on how to perform duplicate data testing using a stored procedure that allows to test the data being inserted before it is saved to the database; therefore, when the user inserts the fields and clicks the insert button, the fields will be tested against the existing data (via stored procedure) within the database before being added. Can anyone help? Thanks

Duplicate Values
I have a table which is a license holder table (i.e., plumbers, electricians etc...) There are some people who appear in the table more than once as they have more than 1 type of license. I am tasked with querying out 200 of these people a week for mailing a recruitment letter which I am doing using the following select statement: SELECT TOP 200 Technicians.Name, Technicians.Address, Technicians.City, Technicians.State, Technicians.ZipCode, Technicians.LicenseType FROM Technicians My problem is that this doesn't deal with the duplicates and distinct won't work because I need to pass the license type and that's the one field that's always distinct while the name and adress fields duplicate.

Duplicate Data?
I am new to SQL server 6.5. I will need to stress test a sql server 6.5 test database by duplicating data. To do so, I need to know how to modify the primary key(which are numbers in character data type) to duplicate the data several times over. The primary key is character data. What I have done ion the past is use insert statments -let's say 20 -- and then copy them and change the date in a text editor and change the primary key column and the other coluimns with thea replace of different letters and numbers. This is slow and tedious. Does any one have a script I can run to do so? Can I do this sql or do I need some sort of stored procedure? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. DAvid Spaisman would be greatly appreciated. THanks. David Spaisman
