DATETIME AS PrimaryKey?
Hi Dears!
declare @dtpk smalldatetime
select @dtpk=getdate()
print @dtpk

in the above, i m using @dtpk as a primary key value in a
table to keep a track of some events that are occuring with
a difference of one second. the above method gives me value
to store in the Primary key Filed (EventTime smalldatetime)
in the form "Dec 1 2005 7:57PM" where my requirement is
to save it in the form "Dec 1 2005 7:57:12.03PM" so as to
make it unique for the primary key field(EventTime
smalldatetime). how to get required datetime format with
the help of above statements to store as primary key in
EventTime field of type smalldatetime.

Using Postcode As Primarykey

Aug 10, 2007

Hello

I've taken over a database where for many tables the postcode field (equivilent to the US Zip Code) is the obvious primary key. [Mapping postcodes to distict or various types of area for statistical analysis]. However the people who set up the database have continually used an auto generated number for the primary key.

There are never any duplicate postcodes in the various tables, so my question is what is the advantage of either using or not using the postcodes as primary keys.

Identity -&> PrimaryKey

Oct 29, 2007

I've a question. I've an old db here with no Primary keys nearly but a lot of identity's set, one for each table (nearly). I'm wondering, could something somehow go wrong with some sp's or anything if I make primary keys of these identities? Question why I'm asking is that we're takinging about doing replication but can't since there are primary keys lacking but we dont dare to change ém into primary keys if something might go wrong since we dont have knowledge about that.

Thanks for help.

How Does Primary Key (primarykey) Work? Can Only Use Once?

Mar 15, 2007

I want to know if this primary key behavior is unique to Access or if it is THE WAY that all industry-standard primary keys work. Thus, I hope not to get too messed up on my SQL Server 2005 project--or any other SQL project.

In Access, I set up a table 'tbl_Gen_Admin_sto' to store general administration expenses. This is a budget. So, there can be at most one entry per budget_year / cost_center / account_number / month. If there are two or more entries, the data is messed up, something is wrong.

Therefore, I defined a muliple-field primary key for tbl_Gen_Admin_sto. If I make a programming mistake and enter data multiple times, the primary key feature will stop my program from entering the same data multiple times.

As I often do, I copy the data into another table, in this case tbl_Gen_Admin_tmp for manipulation in a form. (I.e., I connect a form to tbl_Gen_Admin_tmp.) The tmp version is a pivoted version of the sto table. So, in sto, I have one amount field for each month. In tmp, I have no month field, but do have one amount field for every month of the year (12 amount fields).

The transfer of data to tmp went fine. The user adds, changes, and deletes records in tmp through the form. When the user is done and wants to save the changes (and not discard changes), my program deletes the selected records from sto, then inserts the records from tmp.

But lo! Access was not accepting the new records because (error message) "key violations". The delete went fine. But the insert would not take.

I deleted the multiple-field primary key index in sto. Then I created a multiple-field regular index with no duplicates allowed. Now, sto accepts the insert.

I thought that when I deleted the records, the primary key field is gone--zzzzpft! But aparently Access is keeping track of all primary keys. Even though I deleted the record, for all eternity I will never ever be able to re-insert with the same primary key.

Here is where I need your help: Am I going to run into this same primary key behavior in SQL Server 2005? If so, is it because I have encountered the fundamental definition of primary key?

(I hope you don't beat me up too much for abusing primary keys.)

How To Avoid PrimaryKey Duplication?

Aug 19, 2007

Hi, I having a problem with my query...

I want to copy data from 4 different database to 1 database... but if the destination database have already the same Primary Key the copying stops/terminated and not copying others that is not yet in the destination...

I don't have knowledge in T-SQL like IF...ELSE
my database is SQL Server 2000 but i'm using SQL 2005 Express Management for the query...

What i'm doing is like this:

Use osa (Destination Database)
Go

DELETE FROM tblFaculty (*I'll delete first the datas to avoid duplication)

INSERT INTO tblFaculty (FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode)
(SELECT FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode FROM cislucena.dbo.tMasFaculty)

INSERT INTO tblFaculty (FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode)
(SELECT FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode FROM amapn.dbo.tMasFaculty)

INSERT INTO tblFaculty (FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode)
(SELECT FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode FROM abe.dbo.tMasFaculty)

INSERT INTO tblFaculty (FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode)
(SELECT FacultyID, LastName, FirstName, MiddleName, Rank, DeptCode FROM aclc.dbo.tMasFaculty)

My problem is if the facultyID (PrimaryKey) which i'm copying is already on the destination which is osa, the copying stops/terminated regardless whether there is more to copy. On the 4 source database, there might data that other database also has. That's why the copying is terminated. All i want to do is to check first each FacultyID if it is already on the destination before copying it to avoid error or duplication of Primary Key so it won't terminate the copying.

How is this possible sir? Anyone care to help? Thanks in advance! More Power!

Best Regards

Jul 9, 2007

Hi,
I'm inserting a datetime values into sql server 2000 from c#

SQL server table details
Table nameate_test
columnname datatype
No int
date_t DateTime

C# coding
SqlConnection connectionToDatabase = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=testdb;Integrated Security=SSPI");
connectionToDatabase.Open();
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
dt1.Columns.Add("no",typeof(System.Int16));

The value in the date_t column is 2007-07-09 22:10:11 000.The milliseconds value is always 000 only.I need the millisecond values also in date_t column.
Is there any conversion needed for millisecond values?

SQL Query: Finding Records Between Datetime Inside Datetime

Mar 17, 2007

Hey :)I'm facing a lot of troubles trying to create a new pause/break-system. Right now i'm building up the query that counts how many records that is inside 2 fields. Let me first show you my table:
ID (int)     |    stamp_start (Type: DateTime)        |      stamp_end (Type: DateTime)           |      Username (varchar)0             |      17-03-07 12:00:00                      |            17-03-07 12:30:00                     |     Hovgaard
The client will enter a start time and a end time and this query should then count how many records that are inside this periode of time.
 Example: The client enter starttime: 12:05 and endtime: 12:35.The query shall then return 1 record found. The same thing if the user enters 12:20 and 12:50.My current query looks like this:SELECT COUNT(ID) AS Expr1 FROM table WHERE (start_stamp <= @pausetime_start) AND (end_stamp >= @pausetime_end)But this will only count if I enter the exact same times as the one inside the table.Any ideas how I can figure this out?Thanks for your time so far :)/Jonas Hovgaard - Denmark

Datetime Data Type Resulted In An Out-of-range Datetime Value. Please Help

Hi,
I have a column of type datetime in sqlserver 2000. Whenever I try to insert the date

 I get the error "...datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value"
I've looked everywhere and I can't solve the problem. Please note, I first got this error from an asp.net page and in order to ensure that it wasn't some problem with culture settings I decided to run the query straight in Sql Query Anaylser. The results were the same. What else could it be?

Comparing A Real Datetime To A 'constructed' Datetime

Jun 15, 2004

I have the following SQL:

select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt,
'Deposit' as type, a.* from
dbo.status_view a

where right(term,4) always returns a string which constitutes a 4 digit year eg '1999','2004',etc.

The SQL above returns

2004-04-20 00:00:00.000 Deposit ...

Which makes me think that it is able to successfully construct the datetime object inline. But then when I try and do:

select * from
(
select convert(datetime,'04-20-' + right(term,4)) as dt,
'Deposit' as type, a.* from
dbo.status_view a
) where dt >= a.submit_date

I get the following error:

Syntax error converting datetime from character string.

Given that it executes the innermost SQL just fine and seems to convert the string to a datetime object, I don't see why subsequently trying to USE that datetime object for something (in this case comparison with submit_date which is a datetime in the table a) should screw it up. Help!!! Thanks...

How do i convert a varchar field into the datetime data type? the reason i need this lies in the requirement that in the earlier data base the column that is hlding the date value is having the data type as varchar. and in the new design the column data type is datetime. i am using sql scripts for the data migration from the older design to the newer and got stuck with this datetime convertion issue. do let me know the best possible solution.

following are the sample data that is theer in the older table for the date.


12/12/2003
1/13/2007

there is no uniformity of the data that is stored currently.

DateTime -&> MSSQL -&> DateTime

Jun 9, 2008

Hi All,This is only my second day using C#/asp.net and English isn't my native language so I'll apologise in advance if this question doesn't make sense and/or is stupid . I'm trying to make a little event planner which was going well until I hit a small problem, the user needs to enter the event name and choose a date/time from dropdowns, this bit works okay... however I'm having difficulties with storing the date/time, at the moment I'm making a DateTime object and filling out the year/month/day/hour/minute selected on the form and adding that to the database field (which is a datetime field type).Problem is, I'm using the date format DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS but the database stores it as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS so if I wanted to do things like:
select * from tbl where date > DateTime.Now - it isn't going to work because the month is switched with the day in the DB-versions.
Just to try and give another example, if I'm not being very clear, if I print DateTime.Now.ToString() it will display 10/06/2008 02:50:48 however if I put it into the database and pull it back out cast to a DateTime Object and then display that object via ToString() it'll be 06/10/2008 02:50:48
Any suggestions on what to do would be appreciated, usually in cases like this I'd just use the unix timestamp, but since C#/ASP.NET doesn't support that natively I was hoping there was an easier/native alternative. Also I don't have access to the server configuration so changing the localization of mssql isn't an option unfortunately.Thanks in advance!

DateTime Help

Apr 5, 2004

This simply shouldn't take all morning to figure out but for some reason it has. I simply want to insert the current date and time into a datetime field.

No matter what I try I either get errors (Syntax error converting datetime from character string.) or I get the wrong date (4/11/1900, 1/1/1900).

Here's my current SQL which gives the syntax error.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[QuoteApprovalWeb_Approve]
@table nvarchar(50),
@approvedby nvarchar(100),
@quote nvarchar(50),
@dt datetime
AS
Declare @SQL nVarchar(4000)
Select @SQL = 'Update [' + @table + '] set quoteapproval = ' + "'" + @approvedby + "', "
Select @SQL = @SQL + 'quoteapprovaldate = ' + @dt + ' where quoteno ='
Select @SQL = @SQL + "'" + @quote + "'"
exec (@sql)
GO


I tried replacing @dt with getdate() but that would always give me errors also.
