Adding A Default Value To A Table
May 25, 2004
I'm new to SQL server and am in the process of converting an Access Db to SQL.
What I'd like to happen is for the current date and an Autonumber generated as soon as the user enters a value in another field. This was fairly straightforward in Access. When I try to set the default in design table (inSQL), the date() is not available. After a little research I came up with CREATE DEFAULT and Bind column commands, Global variables, etc.
I have a couple of questions for anyone that might know:
Is there an easier way than this to create default values in a table? AND,
Would I also have to bind columns for Table lookups? For example, if I wanted a price to be returned after the product ID was entered (Automatic in Access if relationship/form setup properly), would I have to bind the column? Or would it happen automatically?

Hello,
How can I give default value to a field in a table which is already created, i.e. there is a table test and it have field test1 which is int(4). Now, I want to give a default value 0 to this field. As I am not able to access Enterprise Manager, I want to do it using Query Analyzer. How can I do this using Query Analyzer?
Thanks in advance,
Uday.

IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT TOP 1 1 FROM dbo.syscolumns WHERE id = OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.Employee) and name = 'DoNotCall')
BEGIN
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Employee] ADD [DoNotCall] bit not null Constraint DoNot_Call_Default DEFAULT 0
IF ( @@ERROR <> 0 )
GOTO QuitWithRollback
END
It just takes a LOT of time in SQL Server Management studio. I have to cancel the query and cancelling takes a whole lot time. I am using SQL Server 2008.

HiI have a table that currently has 466 columns and about 700,000records. Adding a new DEFAULT column to this table takes a long time.It it a lot faster to recreate the table with the new columns and thencopy all of the data across.As far as I am aware when you add a DEFAULT column the followinghappens:a) The column is added with a NULL propertyb) Each row is updated to be set to the DEFAULT valuec) The column is changed to NOT NULL.However, adding the column as NOT NULL with the DEFAULT seems to take alot longer than if I do steps a) - c) separately.When I say a long time, adding just a single DEFAULT column takesaround 6 hours. Surely it should not take this long?There is a trigger on this table but disabling this does not seem tomake much difference.Can anybody give me any advice on the use of DEFAULT columns please?When should they be used, benefits, disadvantages, alternatives etc.Also should it really take as long as it is taking or is there aproblem with my setup?If I am honest I can't see why DEFAULT columns should be used as thevalues could always be inserted explicitly via the applicationThanks in Advance.Paul

Hi guys,
I have this problem. I want to add a new primary key to a table but i want the name of the contstraint to be generated by the system. I have this TSQL code.
ALTER TABLE TableTest
ADD CONSTRAINT PRIMARY KEY (C1)
Reading the BOL, it says that if you don't supply a name for the constraint it generates one. But I get this error "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'PRIMARY'".
If I add a name to the constraint, it works fine.
I'm using SQL Server 2000
Thanks

I cannot figure out how to add a default constraint to an existing column. The syntax I'm using is :
ALTER TABLE table_name WITH NOCHECK
ADD CONSTRAINT column_name DEFAULT (0)
This gives me a syntax error.
The column was originally added with a default constraint of 1 to a 2.6 million row table.
I dropped the existing constraint and need to add the new default constraint of 0 for that column.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Is there any way or option to get the all columns of dataset added to table when we add a table in data region. It will take lot of time to add one by one and also there are chances to add one column ore than once.

For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.

Hi all,
Hopefully I am posting this question in the correct forum. I am still learning about SQL 2005. Here is my issue. I have an access db that I archive weekly into and SQL server table. I have used the dst wizard to create an import job and initally that worked fine. field I have as the primary key in the access db cannot be the primary key in the sql table since I archive weekly and that primary key field will be imported several time over. I overcame this initally by not having a primary key in the sql table. This table is strictly for reference. However, now I need to setup a unique field for each of the records in the sql table. What I have done so far is create a recordID field in the sql table that is an int and set as yes to Identify (auotnumber). That worked great and created unique id for all existing records. The problem now is on the import. When I try to import the access table i am getting an error because of the extra field in the sql table, and the error is saying cannot import null value into this field. So... my final question is how can I import the access table into the sql table with one extra field which is the autonumber unique field? Thanks a bunch for any asistance.

I need to add a child table that will tell us who the participants counselor is, what I did was I did a Make Table query based off the primary key of the Parent table and made that the link (foreign key) for the People_tbl and the Counselor_tbl, so if the counselor changes then the user adds the record to the counselor tbl and then puts in the Effective date. The problem is that when I run a report it doesn't show the present counselor always shows the old counselor?
Code:
SELECT Student_ind.StudentFirstName, Student_ind.StudentLastName, Student_ind.[Student ID], People_tbl.[Family ID], People_tbl.FirstName,
People_tbl.LastName, People_tbl.[Parent ID]
FROM People_tbl RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Student_ind ON People_tbl.[Family ID] = Student_ind.[Family ID]
WHERE (People_tbl.LastName = @Enter_LastName) AND (People_tbl.FirstName = @Enter_FirstName)

If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1] and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] (
[MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.

Hi all,
I have a database setup with a few rows and i would like to allow a user to create a new row of data. After some googling, I've deduced that I need to somehow use an onclick command to perform an insert command. here is my code as of right now:
protected void ItemAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{int newnum = 4;int POnum = newnum ++;
string Item = textbox3.Text.ToString();
string Quantity = textbox4.ToString();string Part = textbox5.ToString();
string Description = textbox6.Text.ToString();string Price = textbox7.Text.ToString();string UOM = textbox8.Text.ToString();
SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Clear();
SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Item", Item);SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Quantity", Quantity);
SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Part", Part);SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Description", Description);
SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@Price", Price);SqlDataSource2.InsertParameters.Add("@UOM", UOM);
SqlDataSource1.InsertCommand = "insert into ItemMaster "+"values (12, @Item, @Quantity, @Part, @Description, @Price, @UOM)";
SqlDataSource2.Insert();
}
here's the aspx:

If someone could please explain to me the process here of what is going ion it would be greatly appreciated. My understanding is the @item is just a variable if you will so i'm not sure why its stating i need to declare it.
Thank you all!

Hi there,I am currently setting up a registration system where customers can registers their details and the details of the product, using ASP.net and MS SQL.There is a column called customerID in the Custoemrs table, and a column of the same name in the Products table, so that I can have relationships between the tables.For obvious reasons (ie. people that quit half-way through), I want to hold all the information until the end. The ID in the Customer table is unique, and auto-increasing, and therefore not assigned until the data enters the database.However, I wish to submit information to the Products table at the same time, but what shall I put in for the custoemrID (which hasn't yet been assigned)Thank you in advance for your help,Nathair

The table has 4 col regular indexes. No primary keys. It locked the user out for about 10 min. I thought with SQL 7.0 this problem went away?

Can I add a column to a database table without dropping and recreating the table?
The problem is that everytime a user creates an action that requires a new table - at the moment I drop the table and recreate the table with the new column.
This requires lots of resources as I have to populate the table again.
Is there a design way I can go around this?

I am new to SQL and have an issue I can not figure out. I have a query with several JOINS, but know my boss is asking for me to add an entire table to my query to view results. Is it possible to add a table to a query with joins? I have tried subquery but I get an EXIST error message. The only way I was able to get the information was join the table and enter every single column to my query. I hope there is an easier and more efficent way of doing this.
Thanks,

I have a LIVE SQL 2000 database. I am trying to add some new columns to a table. My question is will I need to take the database off-line to perform this operation? I have replicated it to a sample table if I can't.

Hi everyone,
I'm using SQL 2005. I want to add a description for each table on my database. How do I do that? I know I can add a description to each field, but how do I add a description to each TABLE? I tried going to Properties but don't see anything.
Grateful for any help. Thanks.

I trying to add records from a table in DBF format (created with Visual FoxPro) into an SQL table created with SQL Server 2005.
I first converted the dbf file into an ascii file and then in the Query Editor in the SQL Server I typed:
use [c:developesqlsqldatapsw.listener]
append from 'c:developesqldatalistener.txt' type sdf
go
and then I pressed F5. I get an error that says:
Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'c:developesqlsqldatapsw.listener'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
I checked in the directory c:developesqlsqldata and the file psw.mdf is there and when I look in the psw database, the table listener is also there.
Could someone tell me what is going wrong? Also, how do I append the whole dbf table onto an SQL table. there's about 6000 records.
Thanks.

I have three tables.
Member(name, address, ID)
Loan(ID, startdate, amount)
Deposite(ID, startdate, amount)
I wanna create a report which look like this.
ID MembersName startdate address etc
Member can be either borrower or a depositor.
I'm thinking of using inner join. Can anyone help me to write the query?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently I am able to check for and add a column to an SQL database using this:
Dim connectionstring As String = My.Settings.ConnectionString
Dim eSQL As String = ""
Using connection As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionstring)
Dim cmd As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(eSQL, connection)
connection.Open()
eSQL = "IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo' AND TABLE_NAME = 'Client' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'Company' ) " _
& "BEGIN " _
& "ALTER TABLE [Client] " _
& "ADD Company int " _
& "END "
cmd.CommandText = eSQL
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
I would now like to add a completely new table with two columns to the same database. What syntax would I use?

/* for the google index */ALTER TABLEDEFAULT COLUMNDEFAULT VALUEI've worked out several stored procedures for altering the default columnvalues in a table. They were compiled from books and code snippets foundhere. It was a pain to work out so I've decided to share my work andresearch here. This post is just my way of saying thanks to several othershere for posting with their wisdom and intelligence.MichaelsimpsonAT(dot)cts(dot)comThis procedure gets the constraint name. If you use the design view tosetup a default value, you won't know the system assigned constraint name.This proc makes it an non issue. This code was gleened from this newsgroup.CREATE PROCEDURE [DBO].[GetConstraintName](@tablename sysname,@columnName sysname,@constraintName sysname OUTPUT)asSELECT@constraintName = o1.nameFROMsysobjects o1INNER JOINsyscolumns c ON o1.id = c.cdefaultINNER JOINsysobjects o2 ON o1.parent_obj = o2.idWHERE (o2.name = @tablename) AND (c.name = @columnName)This procedure changes the default value for a column that is a numeric. Ituses the previously define stored procedure to get the constraint name. Atext version of this procedure can be created by removing the cast, definingthe input parameter "newConstraint" as varchar(255).CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ChangeIntConstraint](@tableName sysname,@columnName sysname,@newConstraint int)ASDeclare @conName sysnameexec GetConstraintName @tableName, @columnName, @constraintName = @conNameOUTdeclare @sql nvarchar(1024)set @sql = 'ALTER TABLE ' + @tableName + ' drop constraint ' + @conNameexec(@sql)set @sql = 'ALTER TABLE ' + @tableName + ' ADD CONSTRAINT ' + @conName + 'DEFAULT (' + CAST(@newConstraint AS varchar(255)) + ') FOR ' + @columnNameexec(@sql)

Hello all,
I have a table with a column:
ThruDate datetime not null
I have a function call set up as default for the col
([dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]())
I have a stored procedure that inserts into the table - it expects @ThruDate as a parm. I default the parm to NULL -
When the sp executes its insert stmt i get error 515 (null cannot be inserted....).
When i just enter the row manually in enterprise manger (and just tab through the ThruDate col) all is well - ThruDate gets the default as calculated by function [dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]()
Why does the sp fail - i.e. why isn't the default applied?
thanks
