Hi All,
I need to set up a kind of identity insert that gives an output in the format: 00001, 00002, 00003 etc. Is there a formatting option for this sort of output using normal identity insert features or do I need to write a function to insert these values (perhaps as text) each time a new record is created?
Sorry if this is really simple but it's only my 4th day in this job!

My SQL table has the
following columns:
ID – Auto IncrementingNumber_of_Records – IntAccount_Number – Varchar
(Format 1234)Account_Number_Instance – Varchar
(Format e.g. 1234-01)Other_Field1Other_Field2…etc.
When the Account_Number was
initially inserted into the table, a Stored procedure (not written be me) was used to concatenate the Account_Number
and Number_of_Records. As a result
the Account_Number_Instance became,
e.g. 1234-01, etc.
From the ASPX form we
retrieve each of the fields above, and based on the Number_of_Records an
appropriate number of records were inserted for the Account_Number.
For Example:
Account_Number = 12345Number_of_Records = 4
The result inserted into the
table were as follows:
ID # of Records Acct_Number
New_Num Acct_Number_Instance …
1 4 12345 12345-01
2 4 12345 12345-02
3 4 12345 12345-03
4 4 12345 12345-04
Now, I would like to UPDATE
this table, and based on the original Number_of_ Records (4) I want to ADD, for
Account_Number (1234) add an appropriate Number_of_Instances, beginning with
the next incremental number and adding what the New Number of Records input is…
For Example:
Account_Number = 12345 New_Num(ber_Of Records) = 3
ID # of Records Acct_Number New_Num Acct_Number_Instance …
1 4 12345 12345-01
2 4 12345 12345-02
3 4 12345 12345-03
4 4 12345 12345-04
5 12345 3 12345-05
6 12345 3 12345-06
7 12345 3 12345-07
I
do realize that the next time I have to update this Account_Number I am also
going to have to somehow ADD only one of the #_of_Records and New_Num for the
Acct_Number instances to obtain the next starting number, which in the example
above would be (8)…
Any
and all suggestions on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
I would like to add leading zeros in the date. Thsi is my existing procedure, it adds leading zeros, but it formats using "yyyy/mm/dd", instead of "yyyy-mm-dd"

Hi Folks,
I have a situation where I need to display an integer with leading zeros, with a defined length.
Example, 43 appears as 00043 when the length is 5 and 000043 when the length
is 6.
I tried using "=Format(Fields!DirID.Value.ToString)" with different variations to no avail.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

I have an SSIS routine which uses a simple SQL select statement from a SQL Server 2005 database and then goes to a Flat File destination. The field (dischstatuscode) is a nvarchar(50) and it may contain data with leading zeros.
Code Snippet
Select DischStatusCode
from dbo.pm
...which returns:
01
23
37
05
04
41
When I open up the csv file produced by the SSIS routine, I see the following:

How to trim the leading zeros.
Thanks.
I am creating a view which involved concatenation of 2 int columns.
The data in the columns look like
Column 1 Column 2
1234 1
12345 11
I am trying to get the following output
001234001
012345011
So the first column should have zeros padded to the front to make 6 numbers, the second column should be 3 numbers long with zeros in front. So when added together it is 9 numbers long.
What is the best way to change an output of P0123 to 123? i.e. drop the letter 'P' and also any leading zeros. We have a report that outputs terminal ID's which range from P0001 through to P0536.
I can drop the 'P' easily enough, but how I can drop the P000 from terminal ID P0001 for example.
I'm using varchar as a datatype and my leading zeros are chopped-off once ther data reaches my Stored Proc. The table will allow me to store the values with leading zeros if I enter them manually, but I cannot insert them via ASP/StoredProc.
Any ideas would be awesome.
I am reposting this from the VB IDE forum, becaue I received no response
Using VS05 SP1 Pro/SQL Express...
There are two tables, UserIDs and Recordings (which has a foreign key relating it back to UserIDs).
I created a Stored Procedure via Server Explorer that returns the user ID for a given Foreign Key in Recordings table. If the UserID is "0001", then "0001" is return (userIDs are stored as strings). The stored procedure works every time.
I then created a table adpater that uses the above stored procedure. The table adapter is used in code. It has always worked fine, but i have discovered if the user ID starts with 0, those zeros are trimmed by the table adapter .
For example:
UserID = Me.TableAdapter_Recordings.FillBy_StoredProceedure_Return_UserID(ForeignKey_Recordings_Table).ToString
should result in a userID of "0001", but instead results in "1", which, from a string view point, is incorrect. As strings, "0001" and "1" are totally different, and the "1" fails when you do a fill for the table UserIDs.
So, the Stored Procedure and the Table Adapter using the same Stored Procedure return different results, with the Table Adapter being wrong. Why is it trimming the zeros? Is there anyway to stop that so the results are correct?
Thanks!

Looking at an execution plan the conversion of NVARCHAR(15) to BIGINT is a big yellow exclamation NO NO. However, the numbers in the NVARCHAR(15) have leading zeros.

I am trying to export the result of a select into a .csv file using SQL Server 2000 DTS. The data for varchar fields has leading zeroes in the database, which is very much required in the csv file.
But, the .csv file trims the leading zeroes. How do we force to maintain the same data as in source?
I had used Text File Destination Connection as the destination, with the below options
File Extension: .csv
File Format: Delimited
File Type: ANSI
Text Qualifier: Double Quotes ("")
Row Delimiter: {CR}{LF}
Column Delimiter: comma
Source Data: 0123
Target Data (Requirement): 0123
The data in .csv: 123 (This is the issue)
When I open this file in a Text Editor, I do see the data in double quotes..."0123".
Thanks in advance.

I am migrating mainframe data to SQL Server 2005 and have found that from a mainframe character field with leading zeros for example the value of 00023 to a SQL Server column defined as varchar (5) the resulting column value is 23 not 00023. I need the leading zeros because these are account ids, etc. So the value is 00023 not 23. Is this some setting in SQL Server 2005 that needs to be changed or what? This is not a numeric field on the mainframe or a numeric column for SQL Server.

I have a query in a SSRSreport that returns a value that looks like '012345'. The value looks fine on the report preview screen.
When the report is exported to excel, that value is displayed in a cell as '012345'. When I click out of the field, excel is dropping the leading zero and converting the value in the field to 12345.

I have a database table. I need to set a particular data field to allow for Auto Incrementing. Basically I need to set up the initial integer value to start at. Then to specify the amount to increment by.
What I have done so far is to right click on the field name in SQL Server 2005. Then, on the pop-up menu I select the menu option for properties.
When the properties are displayed I see some fields listed in dark grey but I am not able to edit these fields. In other words, if I try to type text in this field, nothing happens. The fields I am talking about are:
Identity Increment
Identity Seed
Is Identity
Does anyone know what the problem is? What do I have to do to edit these fields.
Here is a simplified version of my problem:
I am inserting data into a table using a stored procedure. The table has an identity column that increments with each insert. When I use erroneous data in the other fields the insert fails….no surprises there! But when the next insert occurs with valid data I find that my identity field has increased even with those inserts that failed, so my sequence has jumped a few numbers. How do I get the identity inserts to roll back if the rest of the data in a row doesn’t insert successfully?

I am porting a database from Informix to SQL Server 2000. Several fields in the informix database are specified as SERIAL, which means that they auto-increment auto-magically if you insert a 0 into them. Well...I was looking for an equivalent in SQL Server 2000, and thought I had found it in the IDENTITY column concept.
With further investigation into IDENTITY columns, however, I discovered that only one column per table can be given the IDENTITY property. Why is this? Is there a way around that? If not, is there another way to achieve this feature in SQL Server 2000? If not, any suggestions on how I can do it?
Thanks!

My Identity value column is not autoincrementing, its seed is set to 1, and increment set to 1.
yet when i click the auto generated 'Add New Record' button in the BindingNavigator control set (in a form where it is populated with databound text boxes), this Identity column is not auto incremented?
And if i try to write a value to this column, i get the error telling me this column cannot be written to. Yet if i do not write to it, then i get "This column does not allow nulls"
To load my data i am using:
Code Snippet
'clear dataset
Me.DsQuote.Clear()
'fill the datagrid with data from tblQuoteID
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DsQuote.tblQuoteID)
and to save data im using:
Code Snippet
Me.Validate()
'end data edit
Me.TblQuoteIDBindingSource.EndEdit()
'update the dataset with table data
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Update(DsQuote.tblQuoteID)
anything im doing wrong? this data is being viewed in a datagrid btw.
cheers
Hi,
I have an auto incrementing int column setup which serves as my unique primary key. Just wondering what happens when the auto increment reaches the limit? Will it recycle numbers from the begining (who's rows have obviously been deleted by this stage)?
