Has SELECT INTO With IDENTITY() Function Changed The Way #'s Are Assigned?
Oct 10, 2007We have SELECT INTO queries that use the IDENTITY function to assign a sequential row number to a result set based upon a sort order. This has been helpful in SQL Server 2000 for median determination. It appears, however, that in SQL Server 2005, the row numbers are not assigned sequentially, or maybe they are assigned before the sort order is applied.
Can anyone verify whether the IDENTITY function has changed behavior between 2000 and 2005? We would prefer not to have to make changes to existing queries. Thank you.
(BTW, the workaround we found so far is to put the initial SELECT...ORDER BY in a subquery, but then we had to include a phrase like TOP 10000000 to pass syntax check. Is there a better way?)
Last GASP On Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back ?
Jul 9, 2006While I have learned a lot from this thread I am still basically confused about the issues involved.
.I wanted to INSERT a record in a parent table, get the Identity back and use it in a child table. Seems simple.
To my knowledge, mine would be the only process running that would update these tables. I was told that there is no guarantee, because the OLEDB provider could write the second destination row before the first, that the proper parent-child relationship would be generated as expected. It was recommended that I create my own variable in memory to hold the Identity value and use that in my SSIS package.
1. A simple example SSIS .dts example illustrating the approach of using a variable for identity would be helpful.
2. Suppose I actually had two processes updating these tables, running at the same time. Then it seems the "variable" method will also have its problems. Is there a final solution other than locking the tables involved prior to updating them or doing something crazy like using a GUID for the primary key!
3. We have done the type of parent-child inserts I originally described from t-sql for years without any apparent problems. (Maybe we were just lucky.) Is the entire issue simply a t-sql one or does SSIS add a layer of complexity beyond t-sql that needs to be addressed?

Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back
Jun 30, 2006I want to insert a new record into a table with an Identity field and return the new Identify field value back to the data stream (for later insertion as a foreign key in another table).
What is the most direct way to do this in SSIS?
TIA,

P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Update Identity Column With Identity Value
Jan 25, 2015I have table of three column first column is an ID column. However at creation of the table i have not set this column to auto increment. Then i have copied 50 rows in another table to this table then set the ID column values to zero.
Now I have changed the ID column to auto increment seed=1 increment=1 but the problem is i couldn't figure out how to update this ID column with zero value set to each row with this auto increment values so the ID column would have values from 1-50. Is there a away to do this?

How To Use Identity On Non-identity Column (with Concurrence)
Aug 1, 2014I'm working with a third-party database (SQL Server 2005) and the problem here is the following:
- There are a bunch of ETL processes that needs to insert rows on a table (let's call this table T) and at the same time, an ERP (owner of T) is up and running (reading, updating and inserting on T).
- The PK of T is an Integer.
Today all ETL processes uses (select max(ID) + 1 from T) to insert new rows, so just picture the scenario. It is a mess! Everyday they get duplicate key error when 2 or more concurrent processes are trying to insert a row (with the max) at the same time.
Considering that I can't change the PK, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
To sum up:
* I need to have processes in parallel inserting on T
* I can't change anything on T
* The PK is NOT an Identity

TNS Alias Name Changed
Jan 22, 2007Maybe somebody has asked this question, but I could not find it....
I used SSIS to transfer data from Oracle database to SQL Server 2005 (with Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle). It worked fine with the TNS alias name said oracle1. Then I changed the TNS alias name to oracle2. I could connect to Oracle database with oracle2 using Oracle's tool. But SSIS could not find (or solve) oracle2, if I changed the name back to oracle1 in SSIS, then SSIS worked.
Any idea?
Thanks!
File Name To Be Changed
May 21, 2007Hello,
I have developed a report based on a stored procedure which will generate an excel file. There is a requirement that this file needs to be sent to an external domain with the name changed accordingly i.e., a date is to be suffixed to the file after the name has been changed based on their naming convention.
I would appreciate, if anybody has done so and can give me some steps for me to work out.

Where And How Can Timeout Settings Be Changed
Nov 6, 2006I have a page that uses an SQLDataSource web control to populate a GridView control. The SQLDataSource control uses three parameters, one of which is a text string (varchar(50)). I get timeout expired exceptions when I run the page with two specific string values, yet when I run the stored procedure in SqlSvr Management Studio, the procedure runs in 5 seconds and under 1 seconds. Being rnew to ASP.NET 2.0 and .Net in general, I have no idea where this lag is occurring. I would like to know two things:
1. What is causing the lag that causes the timeout in ASP.NET 2.0.
2. What can be done to adjust the timeout period SQLSVR, IIS, ASP.NET).
The underlying query is running as desired (considering the data it has to chew on). For all other values, data is returned almost instantanious. I can provide a copy of the query id need be.
Truly appreciate any insight you can give me!

View 1 Replies View Related#Deleted When A Record Is Changed
Feb 1, 2008First of all, let me apoligize if this is a stupid question, but just a few days ago I decided to change my FE/BE database from Ms Access to SQL Server Express. Now I have a FE in ACC2002 and a BE in SQL SERVER (the two connected via ODBC). Anyway, this is my question:
When everything was in Access I had a form retreiving a series of records based on a filter - for understanding purpose let's say that a field must have been 'Not Null'. The operator then filled that field with data. With Access everything was static, and the operator could see all the records, the ones already changed and the ones not changed. With SQL now: everytime the operator fills in the field, the record changes to #Deleted. I assume that that is happening because the query - someway - is "alive" and is "filtering data alive"... or is updating records instantly. Just to make things more clear: is the record changed immediately so it is not considered part of the filtered data by the query, thus being change to #Deleted? What could I do to prevent this?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Get The Latest Changed Records

I hava a table with the following information
CREATE TABLE TEMP1 (REFID INT, REVISION INT, FIELDNAM VARCHAR(10), VALUE VARCHAR(10));
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 0, 'A', 'A2');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 0, 'C', 'C2');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 0, 'E', 'E2');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1002, 0, 'A', 'A3');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1002, 0, 'B', 'B2');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1002, 0, 'E', 'E3');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 1, 'A', 'A4');
INSERT INTO TEMP1 VALUES(1001, 1, 'E', 'E4');
Here based on latest revision and refid I should get the fieldnam and value.
Expected output:
REFID FIELDNAM VALUE REVISION
1001 A A4 1
1001 E E4 1
1002 B B2 0

View 1 Replies View RelatedUpdate Only Changed Columns
Sep 25, 2007i there,
I've got a problem With updates on a Table.
I want to update only the Columns which are different to the values of my update-Statement.
One of the problems is an update trigger , which is fired on all update statements.
I want the trigger to be fired only when there are real changes.
Of course i can retrospectively check if there was a real, but i can't devide the real updatet colums from the non changed values. I know there is a statement like RowsUpdated but it doesn't work that way. It indicates also the non changed columns. To lock the row pessimistic read and compare the contents before update is also no option for me.
Is there any command to perform this in a smart way? Or should it be suggested for the next version of SQL-Server like "UPDATE CHANGES MY_TABLENAME SET MY_COLUMN= ... "
thanks in advance

Updating Only Changed Fields
Sep 6, 2007My client wants to minimize concurrency issues by only updating fields that the user actually changed. Whereas most update stored procedures I have created just updated all of the fields WHERE key=value, they want to update individual fields.
What I came up with so far does not look very efficient and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for improvement.
Here is a snippet from the stored proc script:
Code Snippet
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.DriverSaveChangedColumns
@DriverNumber VarChar(10) OUTPUT,
@CompanyName VarChar(50),
@DriverName VarChar(50),
@Address1 VarChar(50),
...
IF @CompanyName <> @Org_CompanyName
BEGIN
UPDATE Driver
SET DR_CompanyName = @CompanyName
WHERE DR_DriverNumber = @DriverNumber AND DR_CompanyName = @Org_CompanyName
END
IF @DriverName <> @Org_DriverName
BEGIN
UPDATE Driver
SET DR_DriverName = @DriverName
WHERE DR_DriverNumber = @DriverNumber AND DR_DRiverName = @Org_DriverName
END
...
Any suggestions?
The only other thing I thought of is to forget the stored procedure and do inline SQL ... but I'd rather have a proc.
Thanks!
