View 5 RepliesI removed all constraints in order to load a bunch of data into a table, now I'm wondering if I can add an identity column to this table which does contain data or if I have to create a new table with the identity column and insert the data into that.
thx

I have created a table as below mentioned. Then I want to alter the ID column as identity(1,1) without dropping the table as well as losing the data.
create table dbo.IdentityTest
(
id int not null,
descript varchar(255) null,
T_date datetime not null
)
I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable.
What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify.
There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues.
The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it?
+Identity Specification (Is Identity) Identity Increment Identity Seed
We want to add a new int identity column as a primary key to an already existing table that has a primary key on Guid. Here is the DDL:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[VRes](
[VResID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[Mes] [varchar](max) NOT NULL,
[PID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[Segt] [int] NOT NULL,
[code]....
Also we currently have 3 million rows on this table. Is having an integer column as identity column and primary key better or shd I consider using BigInt?
Hi,
I have a column that is unique that I would like to make into an IDENTITIY column after I insert some data into it.
I tried
alter table <table_name>
alter column <col_name> int Identity (1,1)
but it fails.

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 am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time.
thanks.

Hi,
How to Change Increment Value for existing Identity Column (MS SQL2000) ?
I know how to change the seed :
DBCC CHECKIDENT (activity, RESEED,4233596)
but I need the future id generated with step 2
4233596
4233598
4233600
I would like to do it using T-sql because I will need to do it every day after syncronising with another SQL server .
Thanks,
Natalia
Hi All,
Can any body tell me that how we can attach IDENTITY property to an existing int column
How do i drop/remove the identity property for an existing column in all Tables where the Identity column is a primary key.
The Script below was used to find all the tables that have an Identity Column as a primary key in a database. Now i want to remove the identity property from the Identity Columns that have a primary key in the database.
select pk.table_name, c.column_name,
from information_schema.table_constraints pk
INNER JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage c ON c.TABLE_NAME = pk.TABLE_NAME
and c.constraint_name = pk.constraint_name
where constraint_type = 'PRIMARY KEY'
and COLUMNPROPERTY(object_id(pk.table_name), column_name, 'IsIdentity') = 1
ORDER BY pk.table_name, c.column_name
I have a excel file which has a column called "Code" and their values are A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H. I want to create a new column called "status" based on the values of "Code".
Code:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
If A,C,E,G then "status" = "Active" else if B,D,F,H then "Status" = "Inactive". I like to do it using "Derived Column".
Has anybody ever tried to do this. I can't figure it out. All I want to do is take an existing table that already has values in the column that I want to change and add the identity property to yes and set the identity seed and increment to a specific number. I know you can do it in the CREATE TABLE statement but is there a way to use the ALTER TABLE command?

I have a existing table named as activity, and have the column like ID,Description. I want to add the Identity for the ID column using script only.. Have any ideas how to do in sql query analyser?
Thanks in Advance
Hi, I have the lovely task of overhauling some of our SQL-based systems. I've found many tables that don't have unique identifying numbers that really should have them. I've searched around and people keep mentioning the Identity field as being similar to Autonumber in Access. The only examples I could find involved setting up a new table... but I need to add (and populate) an identity column to an existing database table. Does anyone know the command for this?
Example... my table is called PACountyTown. It currently has 3 columns: County, Town, and Area. I wish to call the identity-ish field RecordID.
Thanks in advance!
I have the following column values (which represent the hours in a day) -Â
I want to be able to create a "child group" which would create 15 minute interval values under each hour, like -Â
0 Â 15 Â Â 30 Â Â 45 Â Â 60Â
So these would repeat under, each "hour" column value.
How can I do this ?
Hello everyone I have a small application in asp.net now I’m trying to use the SQL reporting services. But as soon as I try to connect to the DB on the “connection properties� window I get this error.
Unable to open the physical file "C:myAppsmydb.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The file is in use by another process.)".
Thanks
We have set up SQL Server 2005 failover cluster with 2 nodes, on Windows 2003. I'm now trying to add Reporting Services. I don't see any documentation for how to do this. Is it similar to adding Analysis Services? If I use this command I'm not sure what to put in several paramaters:
start /wait c:<path-to-setup>setup.exe /qn VS=<my-virtual-server-name> INSTALL=RS_Server INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER ADDLOCAL=RS_Server ADDNODE=n GROUP="Cluster Group" IP="111.11.11.11,<my-virtual-server-name" ADMINPASSWORD=xxxx SAPWD=xxxx INSTALLSQLDIR=c INSTALLSQLDATADIR=c RSACCOUNT=mmmxxxxx RSPASSWORD=<domain-user-psswd> SQLBROWSERACCOUNT=<mmmxxxxx> SQLBROWSERPASSWORD=<domain-user-psswd> SQLREPORTING=1
My question are for:
IP: do i just put the virtual ip and name here, or every ip in the node?
INSTALLSQLDIR: is c drive correct here, or what is this?
INSTALLSQLDATADIR: is c drive correct here, or what is this?
RSACCOUNT: is this correct, not in the example in document ms144259 and what should go here?
RSPASSWORD: same as above
SQLBROWSERACCOUNT: what goes here?
SQLBROWSERPASSWORD: same as above
Thanks so much for any help.
HI,
Is there an easy way to install reporting services on a machine that is already running sp1? When I initially isntalled Sql Server I did not install ssrs. Now, SP1 is installed and when I run the setup tool to install ssrs, it warns me regarding a "version change", presumablly because my media is not sp1, but RTM. Any ideas?
I'm trying to create a report in SSRS using a Matrix.
The data in my dataset looks like this one:
Part     Action   SortID  Count
---------------------------------------------------
Login     LA1     1       12
Login     LA2     2        25
Login     LA3     3       548
Register  RA1     1        12
Register  RA2     2          56
I have one rowgroup by the column Part and one columngroup by SortID and my Data should look like this:
Login         LA1      LA2       LA3
                 12        25        548
Register     RA1      RA2
                 12        56
But it looks like
Login         LA1      LA2       LA3
                 12        25        548
Register     RA1      RA2      LA3
                 12        56
how I could solve my Problem, that in row number 2 the LA3 isn't shown?
How to enable http for SSRS service in my current sharepoint 2013 environment with https.

I'm installing TFS on W2k3 R2 with MSQL2005
Finishing the TFS setup, I got this message:
"Error 29112. Team Foundation Report Server Configuration: Report Server is not properly configured or the Reporting Services Web site could not be reached. Use the Report Server Configuration tool to confirm that Report Server is configured properly and that Reporting Service Web site can be founda before running the installation again. For more information see the Team Foundation Installation Guide."
Then, I go to the SQL Report Configuration page and I see the error in Web Reports Site configuration.
But trying to configuring I got this message:
"ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.WMIProviderException: A virtual directory must first be created before performing this operation.
at ReportServicesConfigUI.WMIProvider.RSReportServerAdmin.SetWebServiceIdentity(String applicationPool)"
Any idea? I created the Virtual Directorys and application pools but something I'm missing cause I still getting this same error trying to configure the Web Report Service.
Thanks!
We are using SSRS 2012. Before we were with 2005. Both the versions have the problem. When a change made to parameters (like adding additional parameter to existing report or changing default value of parameter) using visual studio on developers machine and re-deploy to server, additional parameter or changes to parameter is not showing up. So, we are first deleting the report from server and then re-deploying. This works fine. But we realized that we are losing history of the report (like data related to this report run from execution log). We need the history of report. It is very important to top management to see the details.When I searched in forums, users say that it still exist in 2012 and 2014 and every one talks about deleting and re-deploying report. I would like to know if there is any other alternate route to redeploy additional parameter and not lose history.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI simply need the ability using SQL to add columns in an existing table before (or after) columns that already exist.
The MS SQL implementation of ALTER TABLE doesn't seem to provide the before or after placement criteria I require. How is this done in MS SQL using SQL or is there a stored procedure I can use?
Thanks.

I have a table for blog comments I want to add a column that counts the number of comments for each article.
existing table looks like this:
CommentID
ArticleID (FK)
commentAuthor
authorEmail
comment
commentDate (getDate())
I would like to add a column that counts the number of total comments for each article.This will give me what I want using the VS query tool:
"SELECT COUNT(comment) AS Expr1 FROM UserComments WHERE (articleid = @articleid)"
But can I add that to the table somehow so it does it automagically???
I have an existing table (see below).
-----------
[FormCode] [varchar] (4) NULL ,
[FiscalYear] [char] (4) NULL
-----------
I want to add the column below after the [FormCode] when my SPROC runs.
-----------
[FiscalMonth] [char] (2) NULL

I created a new database called "TestReportServer" as mentioned in the installation instruction but I didn't
see (or could select) the option "Create the report server database in SharePoint integrated mode".
How can I select this option? Do I need to remove the reporing services and reinstall it again? Any suggestions?
After creating the database I get the error 'Some or all identity references could not be translated'.
The user I selected is a local administrator and has permission to all groups starting with wss.
I guess the database is not created as a sharepoint integration mode as I can start Server Management Studio
and see the database. Is that a correct assumption?
I hope somebody out there can help as I am strating to bang my head towards my desk right now :-)
Sorry I'm pretty new to SQL so I don't know if this is a simple question. I have a table, and I am trying to add a column to the table and populate this column using what would be called an 'IF' function in Excel.
Basically 'column A' has numbers in it. I want SQL to look at 'column A' and if the first 5 digits of the number in 'column A' are 00001, then put 'description A' into new column 'column B'. If the first 5 digits of the number in 'column A' are 00002, then put 'description B' into 'column A' etc.
Any ideas?
I want to add new primary key into existing table which already has a primary key. But,I do not want to remove the old primary key, since there are many records and the old primary key also have relationship with other table
When I am using this query:
alter table hem154
add indexNO uniqueidentifier default newid()
alter table hem154
add CONSTRAINT pk_hem154_indexNo PRIMARY KEY (PK_indexNO)
go
Note:
Hem154 ~ Table name
indexNo ~ Column Name
I get this runtime error:
Msg 1779, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Table 'hem154' already has a primary key defined on it.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Dear Friends,
I need a SQL Query to add a identity coloumn for anExisting table. (ie) when i try to alter the table i want to add an identity coloumn.
Thanks in advance.
We have a requirement to add a not null column to an existing table.
I created the column with null and updated with single quotes, and then converted the column into not null.
Now, I can see in the publisher, it went fine. but in the subscribers, i'm getting the error as, can not insert null value. I then tried to make column as null to resolve the issue, but still it is holding the same error and not proceeding further.
Now I even dropped the column. still same issue. how can I resolve this issue? I'm using sql server 2008 R2 with SP3. replication type is Merge replication.
