I have a table with an indentity column as first column. At beginning it is continue such as 0-50. I delete last 20 columns by hand. The 0-31 is left. When the new data is inserted, I hope the new indentity column begin from 32. How to do that? Now the indentity column begin from 51 as the new data is inserted.
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tss_Cable ON go DECLARE @@nextidentval int SELECT @@nextidentval = MIN(IDENTITYCOL) + IDENT_INCR(tss_Cable) FROM tss_Cable t1 WHERE IDENTITYCOL BETWEEN IDENT_SEED(tss_Cable) AND 2147483646 AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tss_Cable t2 WHERE t2.IDENTITYCOL = t1.IDENTITYCOL IDENT_INCR(tss_Cable)) go SET IDENTITY_INSERT tss_Cable OFF
I get the following error.
error line 2 Incorrect syntax near IDENT_INCR. error line 6 incorrent syntax near IDENT_INCR.
I would like to reset the identity without droping the table. I'm using sql 6.5. I looked at Mark Lessard 12/17/99 respose on this issue and changed the code to match his version but the same error occured.
I am trying to remove the Indentity property from a column so I can do some clean up. Then will need to add it back. Adding Indentity property back is not a problem, but cant figure out how to remove it in the first place.
I had an interesting problem come up today. I have a report that when you preview on vs or click view report on the report server, the report continually refreshes itself. I cannot see that I have written anything different in this report than any other report.
I saw one other append here on a continually refreshing report but that was linked to a document map and this report has not document map.
Has anyone seen this problem of a continually refreshing report?
It's not a big deal as I figure I will just have to write it from scratch again, but I am interested to see if I can stop it before I re-write it.
I am installing a new instance of SQL 2005 including reporting services and have a serious problem. All looks fine from the Reporting Services Configurations system, however, when attempting to browse to http://servername/reports I get an authentication challenge. All forms of credentials are rejected. The server is a Member server in the domain and SQL Server and the reporting services are installed on this server.
Any help would be appreciated as this is holding up the server installation and I have conducted exhaustive searches for a solution.
This problem is also reported in this thread, although, no solutions have been provided for a long time, so I am re-posting: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=560169&SiteID=1
Hi(SQL Server 2000)I have an existing table (t) with a column that is NOT an identity column(t.ID), but it has manually inserted "row numbers". I want to make thiscolumn become an identity column. This column is a key field to othertables, so I want to keep the row numbers that are allready inserted.From the Query Analyzer, how do I do this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Gunnar VøyenliEDB-konsulent asNORWAY
I have a table that contains names that are all in upper case, this column is called in many different areas of my web app. I wanted to make the names all lowercase, or with the leading character only capitalized. How can I make a column within a SQL table lowercase at the SQL server end and not the programming side?
Is this the way to create one of my columns clustered. The books that I have all use stored procedure I only want to use regular sql commands. Is this possible?
I have a store procedure to create a table temp, populate data from Origin1 table, and then add a new column SSN to temp table, update the SSNs from another table. but the following code gives error, pleaes help!

Hello, I have a table (publication) that has a primary key pubID which is an identity specification. This ID already has relationships to other tables. I am having problems trying to make one of the other columns in the same table to auto generate. This column (bibNumber) is not related to any other table. All i want to do is when i create a new record in the table, auto generate a number for this column bibNumber. How can i do this? I am using sql server express 2005 Regards
when we display hierarchies, we'd like the user to have the option of expanding a column for wider viewing, perhaps by dragging a border. Is this possible?

I have a table of results for various measured quantites and i need to turn this into a view. Only problem is i need to seperate the measured quantities and their respective values into seperate columns.
Currently I'm using a UDF and a physical temp table to accomplish thisand I want to know if there's any way of doing it in a query orsubquery instead...In TableA there are a bunch of rows:InvitationID (PK) PartyID Partygoer1 1 Jim2 20 Bob3 2 Frank4 1 Robert5 1 PeteIn TableB are rows:PartyID (PK) PartyDate PartyName1 1/1/2000 WildParty2 1/1/2000 BoringPartyWhen a user runs a query to search for all parties on 1/1/2000 I wantthe result to look like:PartyID PartyDate PartyName Partygoer1 1/1/2000 WildParty Jim, Robert, Pete2 1/1/2000 BoringParty FrankI'm hoping there's a solution to this.Thanks,lq
I'm making some reports that are made for getting printed. I currently have three groups of reports, each group having four charts (four A4 papers/group). To cut down on the sheer number of papers on the boards I've been asked to merge these charts so that we'll have all three groups in one chart. This works fine for three of the charts (two line charts and one column chart), where the results gets neatly organized in group order. Where I ran into problems was the last chart..
The last chart is a stacked column chart. With one group, it works quite well; the x-axis is by year/week, and for each week there's a bar where the lower part is "done" and the upper part is "failed". Now when doing this graph with multiple groups (groups as series), it doesn't put the different groups beside each other as I would've wished, instead it piles them on top of each other as if it was a 100% stacked column.
So the question is; is there some way to make a stacked column graph with multiple series that are one stacked bar per group instead of having all of them stacked on top of each other? Am I just missing some small detail here?
I created a query that got the following result. But I expect to get the structure like, care_nbr, cust_nbr,legal_name, address_type=physical address, addr_line_1, addr_line_2, address_type-primary address, ddr_line_1, addr_line_2. That means I only need primary and physical address, and expect them to show in a row to each care_nbr. How to perform that?
The reason I say this is because a subtotal of a dollar amount will take up more space than other values. Right now, I'm forced to make all columns the same larger width because it appears to be all wrapped into 1 column width setting. I can try to change the value of the subtotal column, "matrixcolumn4", but it reverts to the other value after I press enter to apply the changes.
I need to populate a table having an identity field with data (basically I want to make a copy of a table with identity column on another server). When I use BCP to insert data then the values in the identity field is not the same as in the data file but gets incremented from the original.
eg. if the records in the flat file are- 1, 'test1' 2, 'test2'
Now if i insert this into the table (say the last identity value was 100) then rows get inserted as- 101, 'test1' 102, 'test2'
Is there any way by which I can retain the values of the identity column to be same as in the file?
How do reset identity seed on table, for example I have table that has gap in the identity such as (1,2,3,5,6, etc..) and I want reset the entire table.
I'm doing a data transfer from Access to SQL Server, I wish to keep theidentity column (autonumber) values as all the data is already related. Itried the first table append query including the identity column, it worked.Was this fluke? Will it always work? I was under the impression that I wouldhave to issue a "set identity_insert on" before doing this. The SQL databasewill have absolutely no data before the transfer routines are run.
SqlCeConnection tempConn = dbman.getConn(); SqlCeCommand tempComm = new SqlCeCommand(str_sql_insert, tempConn); tempConn.Open(); Object ob = tempComm.ExecuteScalar();
.....
When I run the application there is a error report on the last line of the code above: [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 127,Token in error = SELECT ]
When I copy the SQL string into the QueryBuilder in the VS2008 it is works and returned a correct value.
I want to know is there something wrong with the sql string or the ExecuteScalar() cant execute 2 steps command?
I am sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question but I can not find better fit. I am using Visual Studio 2005 to write an asp.net web site which includes an SQL data base. In the databaseI have a table called 'ACCOUNTS' which has primary key column called 'ID' and a nvarchar column called 'Name'. I want the values in the 'Name' column to be unique in the table so that all accounts have unique names. I don't want to make the 'Name' column the primary key because I want people to be able to change the name of their account after it has been created. It seems to me there must be some way to add such a constraint to the table but I can find none. I have searched the documentation and seen loads of references to unique columns but I can't find any way to set a column to unique thru the IDE (or any other way). Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance for any help.
