SQL 2012 :: NewSequentialID - Error Validating The Default For Column
Oct 8, 2014
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60 (X64) Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
we are using the default of newsequentialID() as the key on some tables and getting the error
Error validating the default for column xxx
When first saving the table if the value is entered as newsequentialid() the save works but on any subsequent design change I get the error.
If you click Yes to continue it works fine.
The value that is in there once its saved shows up as (newsequentialid()) if you change it back to not have the outer parenthesis it saves without issue.
I created a column in a table with datatype uniqueidentifier which is set as RowGUID and the default value to newsequentialid(). I get the following error whenI try to save the table
Error validating default value for column 'ColumnName'.
It works in a straight select query, but when I put it in the formula of the table design window, I get an error "Error validating the formula for column 'test_fci'"
I don't know if it's relevant but repl_value is itself a computed column with the formula:
(repl_value_e_g + repl_value_aux)
Is it possible to use the system functions in a computed column? If not, how would I pass those values into a udf and use it for the formula?
CREATE TABLE EDI_data_proc_log( ID int IDENTITY(1,1), comment VARCHAR(3000), time_recorded DATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE(), run_by varchar(100), duration int );
When a record is inserted I like the duration column to be computed.This should happen only after the first record to the table has gotten inserted.You might say a trigger would be the best.. Ok then, show me the syntax.
Or I am thinking can we write a user defined function that will compute the value for the duration column.
--By default, I would like to update the duration column as follows:
--It should record the number of seconds between the last insertion ( You can get that time from the time_recorded column from the previous record and the current time can be obtained from the getdate() function )
I have a multi value parameter called "Location" and this depends on another multi valued parameter value. The default value for the parameter "Location" comes from the another another multi valued parameter. Now say when the default value is set for the parameter Location like the below:
The Location parameter data set has values from the Query and default values has been set as shown below:
I just this day started using SQL sever 2005. I created a database and then created a table. Then I started adding some fields. I wanted to add a check constraint to one of the fields called state but I keep getting the same error. I right click on the field while editing the table and select check constraint. I then click add on the check constraint dialogue and in the expression caption I input the following:
<code>
@State In('CA', 'AZ', 'UT', 'CO')
</code>
I am using a book and have straight copied the above example from the book. However when I input the check constraint I get the following error;
"Error validating constraint 'ck_myfirstdatabase'
I have tried this with other fields and other types of check constraints and I still get the same error. I have tried to delete the database and recreate it. I have tried everything I can think of and I cannot seem to get check constraints to work. I have no idea why I keep getting this message. I have checked the examples a thousand times, the syntax is definately correct. This is getting extremely annoying as I cannot continue unless I do this. I'm all out of ideas. Can anyone please tell me why it could not be working? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I'm using sql server 2005, I created a customer table and set the customer_id as an uniqueidentifier that is a NEWSEQUENTIALID()...when a user is created I want to obtain the last customer_id so that I can insert it in another table that has a one to many relationship with the customer table. Please help...how do i do this?.Thanx
Hi All I am using SQL Server 2005 and creating a insert SP now. How could I return the newsequentialID() after the record inserted successfully? Regards Alex
I've been thinking about using GUIDs as primary keys within my application. One problem I have with this approach is that GUIDs generated with NEWID() are not sequential, and this can have a huge impact on insertion performance due to fragmented indexes. It would seem that NEWSEQUENTIALID() solves this issue, however it doesn't seem very practical to use this on SQL Server Mobile. With SQL Server, you can specify an OUTPUT clause for an INSERT statement, and using this, determine what the last inserted GUID was. There doesn't seem to be such an option in SQL Server Mobile, so how can I get the last generated GUID so that I can attach children records to my parent record? It's been suggested that you could use the MAX() function to get the latest GUID, but there is a problem with this approach - NEWSEQUENTIALID() guarantees that the GUIDs generated will be sequential for the machine generating them, but makes no guarantees about how this will fit in with GUIDs generated by other machines. It is entirely possible that GUIDs generated by a different machine will be larger than the latest one generated on the current machine, so using MAX() to determine the latest value doesn't seem like a valid option to me.
Does anybody have any ideas on tackling this problem? Any thoughts on the suitability of using GUIDs as the primary key for SQL Server Mobile devices in general?
I have a dtsx import script which import a delimeted csv file into a sql 2012 table. The default of the output length for all columns is set to 50 characters.All records which do not comply goes to another table in the same database. When I ran the script,all the records goes to the error table. I have now found a way to retrieve the column id and the error message to find that some column are been truncated and do not import.
I now need to know which column is given the error. The import file have more than 300 columns and I do not want to go and check each column length.I am using visual studio 2010 and using visual basic. I have found a sample of C+,but the screen shots is very small and when I type in the command,i do not compile.
We have over 400 import scripts and I could really use this in all of them to trouble shoot.
I'm moving data from one database to another (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM ....) and am encountering this error:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6 Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
My problem is that Line 6 is:
set @brn_pk = '0D4BDE66347C440F'
so that is obviously not the problem and my query has almost 200 columns. I can go through one by one and compare what column is int in my destination table and what is varchar in my source tables, but that could take quite a while. How I can work out what column is causing the problem?
What the difference is, if any between the following two ways of creating a table with a column that has a default value (see the 'Deleted' column):
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer] ( [ID] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Name] NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, [DELETED] BIT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0)And
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customer] ( [ID] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Name] NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, [DELETED] BIT CONSTRAINT [DF_Customer_Deleted] DEFAULT((0)) NOT NULL)
And is there any argument for doing one over the other?
What are the tables are having the Default Constraint those table's Script the User can't generate but remaining tables He/She can generate,If i want DENY he/she to do not generate the script those are not having the DF Constraints what should i do.....
I have a Nullable columns. I want the value to be zero if NULL is passed.
1) having a view for every such table, 2) using ISNULL for needed columns in that view 3) using those view for inserts instead of using tables directly.
This way i can reduce the number of places to use ISNULL in all my SPs.I dont want to make it to NOT NULL, as my application impact will be high. And Default constraint does not work here.
I have a function that accepts a date parameter and uses getdate() as its default value. If a date is passed in, I'm going to have to find records using the datediff method based on input. If no date is passed, I am going to bypass the datediff logic and search for records based on a column called "is_current" which will reduce the query time.
However, I don't know how to tell if the date value in the function came from an input or was the default.
I have got a stored procedure with a parameter on a boolean field. When the parameter is passed down I must retrieve records according to the boolean value. That is if it is true retrieving records with the true in that field, if it is false retrieving records with false. And if no parameters is passed down just retrieve all records either with true or false. I have done something similar with integer fields and it works but in that case I wasn't able to make it working.
See at the following sample I am expecting when executing the 3rd time my below to return 4 and it returns 0
CREATE TABLE #temp ( Id int, Name char(30), YesNo bit ) INSERT INTO #temp (Id, Name,YesNo) Select 1, 'a', 0 INSERT INTO #temp (Id, Name,YesNo)
I have a UDF that returns a char(10) random value. This runs fine when calling it directly via Query Analyzer, Stored Procs, etc.
I now want to create a new column in a table (via the Table Designer) and want to set the default value to the function. I have entered dbo.f_myfunction() for "Default Value", but I get an error:
Unable to modify table. ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not create constraint. See previous errors. [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 51 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
The function is in the same database as the table. This is all on my local database where I am the admin.
I have also tried database.dbo.f_myfunction(), but I get an Invalid Object error.
I have a table with the list of employee and 15 column with data type float or money , that represent the number of hours, airfare,gas,parking food, etc....
I have 2 choice: -Put 0 as a default value for each column, like that I do not have to use coalesce when I do SUM for each column. -Leave the default value null but I will have to use coalesce.
In term of performance, what is the best solution?
hi, i was wondering how to set default value in the datetime column of the database so that it will enter current date and time if one is not provided when a row is populated. is there a store procedure to do this? or built-in function? mp
I would like to have the date value 1/1/2499 entered as the default value in a date field if no value is specified. I have added 1/1/2499 as the default value for the column however when I insert a record into the table the date 1/1/1900 is entered even though I haven't specified a date. Any way to accomplish this? Thanks.
I am running a script against a couple of databases on my SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Instance and I am getting the following in the results pane:
"Default bound to column" I have searched the MS Knowledge base and found a couple of vague references to this. Does anyone know why I might be getting this??? the script 'seems' to run fine.. except for the funky error in the results pane. Script is attached. Thank you!!
ALTER TABLE tm_spn_equip_def ADD Customer_No int NOT NULL DEFAULT dbo.f_spn_GetCustomerNo() WITH VALUES
Now when I attempt to do this...
ALTER TABLE tm_spn_equip_def DROP COLUMN Customer_No
I get an error:
