Select Into Statement Without Taking Auto Increment Of ID Column To The New Table
Mar 7, 2011
Due to localization I have the need to make child tables, where there is a composite Primary Key, between the Id column and the LanguageSign column. On the parent table the Id column is Identity column with auto increment.
The problem is that during the select into query to copy columns from parent to child, this auto increment behaviour of the parent-Id is copied to the child-Id. However I do not want that, because the same Id will be used by different LanguageSign entries
Is there a way to use 'select into' without copying the auto increment, or is my only option to make a whole new column without auto increment on the child and copy the records?
btw I have used this statement
SET
IDENTITY_INSERT MyTable
ON , so that inserting into the Id column is possible. I can see however that this does not take away the auto increment...
Hello all,I'm using SS2K on W2k.I'v got a table say, humm, "Orders" with two fields in the PK:OrderDate and CustomerID. I would like to add an "ID" column whichwould be auto-increment (and would be the new PK). But, I would reallylike to have orders with the oldest OrderDate having the smallest IDnumber and, for a same OrderDate, I'd to have the smallest CustomerIDfirst. So my question is:How could I add an auto-increment column to a table and make it createits values in a particular order (sort by OrderDate then CustomerIDhere)?In the real situation, the table I want to modify has around 500krecords and the PK has 5 fields and I want to sort on three of them.Thanks for you helpYannick
Along with the data that I am pulling back from query, I also need to provide an ImportID column with the following requirements:
YYMMDDGP0001, YYMMDDGP0002, YYMMDDGP0003, and so on. The 0001, 0002, and 0003 part could get big into the hundreds of thousands.
I have the YYMMDDGP part down with the following expression:
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(6), GETDATE(), 12) + 'GP' AS [ImportID]
Now I need to get the Auto Incrementing number part of this. I have been researching this trying SELECT INTO a temp table using the Identity Function and declaring different variables all with no luck.
I have a (1) date field and (2) an auto-incrementing ID field that always throw me errors when I'm doing a programmatic insert.
(1) After doing many searches on the subject, I don't think I'm using the correct syntax for the date and can't find any suggestion that works. Would appreciate your knowledge on correct SQL syntax for inserting a "today's date" field.
(2) I'm using the following code to create a new auto-incrementing ID for each record but it seems that there should be a smoother method to force the field's value to auto-increment. Any ideas?
Private objCmd As SqlCommand Private strConn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("conn"))...objCmd = New SqlCommand("select max(ClientID) from tblClients", strConn)Dim intClientID As Int16 = objCmd.ExecuteNonQuery + 1
I have a column that is not set to auto increment "IDX and Im inserting 800 part numbers but i want the IDX column to start at IDX 400 and increment 1 time per part number that is inserted. how can i accomplished that task.
EXAMPLE:
IDX PART#
400 abcde 401 fghi 402 jklm
etc. and so forth until the last part# will have IDX 1200...

hi, im having problems to import data from my excel to a sql table.
in the excel file i have exact the same fields that i have in the table excepts the primary key which is an auto increment. When i try to import data, an error that i can't insert nulls into my auto increment column.
I put enable identity insert in the edit options, but still doesnt work.
I currently working asp.net with c# and inserting data from webpage into sqlserver 2000 data table. I have an auto increment ID in a table. Let's say 10 are inserted. Then you delete those 10. You add another and the auto increment sets the id at 11. How can I get that table to start back to 0? Plz help me and give code for increment id programmatically using c#. Thanks in Adv,
i would to make a column contains of 3 characters and 6 auto increment numbers (example: "DLL - 123456")

I have a table with two primary key fileds. I will be running a process to populate the data into the table.For each process the first field is constant and second field is auto increment one.
My statements are insert into select ** from ** type one.
How do I auto increment second filed per run. Any delivered function available or any suggestion Pl.................
i just want to know tht i have table which have large record almost 7 lakh round about , when i set auto increment on it gives me timeout error, is der any easy way to ON auto increment ??
I Have a table that needs to have 2 unique number.
detail_id and detail_print_id.
detail_id is already an IDENTITY.
both fields need to be different, because when importing, it imports the same data into a table twice, with only a slight data change (and id is not one of the changes).
So I thought i could do the following:
detail_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,2), detail_print_id INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(2,2), --blah blah
that way, the detail_id will always be odd, and the detail_print_id will always be even. however SQL Server 2005 only allows 1 identity per table, and both these fields need to be auto generated when the field is inserted, so as to prevent double data.
is there anyway I can create a int column to auto increment, without the column being an IDENTITY??
also, I would prefer to not have to create a second table with a single column just for this work.
Following is a query which gives me an output as mentioned below. Can anybody help me out, in giving increment numbers, e.g. 1,2,3,4... to the first column in the select statement.
use account select 'PT','JE01','71','1','1', Vou_date=convert(varchar,vdt,101), cltcode, '994801', vamt, 'ZJE01','JOURNL', '0.00', narration, DrCr = (case when drcr = 'D' then 'D' else 'C' end), '','','71','1','P',',',',',',' from ledger where cltcode = '5555' and vdt >= 'Apr 1 2007' and vtyp = '15' order by vdt
Hi All,I am facing problem in MS SQL Server 2000. It is behaving slow forselect statements. It is even slower than MS ACCESS. For example, if iuse"Select count(*) from tbl;". i get the results after long time ifthere is more than 100k rows. What might be the possible reasons forthis??ThanksHoque
How I can get the following Desired SELECT STATEMENT with the increment of Max(serial_no)+1. Date will be in quotation in desired SELECT STATEMENT. All data is same. Just changing the serial_no which will be Max(serial_no)+1.
Create table #seq (serial_no numeric, Scode numeric, Sdate datetime, SErr char(10)) insert into #seq values (1,1002,'10/10/2015','SEDT') insert into #seq values (2,1005,'12/10/2015','PEFT') insert into #seq values (3,1004,'1/1/2015','QEGT') insert into #seq values (4,1008,'1/2/2015','TEWT') insert into #seq values (5,1007,'3/10/2015','REDT')
I have an MS SQL Server table with a Job Number field I need this field to start at a certain number then auto increment from there. Is there a way to do this programatically or within MSDE?
In a website I'm working on I need to be able to put all of the user tables in a database in a dropdownlist.
Another dropdownlist then will autopopulate itself with the names of all the columns from the table selected in the first dropdownlist.
So, what I need to know is: is there a sql statement that can return this type of information?
Example:
Table Names in Database: Customers, Suppliers
Columns in Customers Table: Name, Phone, Email, Address
I click on the word "Customers" in the first dropdownlist.
I then see the words "Name", "Phone", "Email", "Address" in the second dropdownlist.
I'm sure you all know this (but I'll say it anyways): I could hardcode this stuff in my code behind file, but that would be really annoying and if the table structure changes I would have to revise my code on the webpage. So any ideas on how to do this the right way would be really cool.
Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000
Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL) Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)
Set @Counter = 0
while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount begin Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter) set @Counter = @Counter + 1 end
Insert into @Type(Name) Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL Select 'Type: GMC'
Insert into @Source(Name) Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL Select 'Source: USA'
Insert into @Users(Name) Select 'keith' UNION ALL Select 'kevin' UNION ALL Select 'chris' UNION ALL Select 'chad' UNION ALL Select 'brian'
select 1 ProviderId, -- static value '' Identifier, '' ClassificationCode, (select TOP 1 Name from @Source order by newid()) Source, (select TOP 1 Name from @Type order by newid()) Type
It's been a long time since I've had to check an index for the highest value, then add 1, to create a new unique key. These past few years, it seems this is usually done for you. But now that I'm working with MS-SQL, I don't see it. Is it there? It's doesn't seem to be inherent in the definition.
Hello, Firstly Hello to everyone I'm new the forum and fairly new to .net I'm working on web datbase application using visual studios 05 and MS SQL05 I've used 2003 (briefly) before but 2005 is very new to me. To my problem I download the GUI interface from microsoft so I can now setup a local database and do my own testing. I have created the table and fields with in it however on a particular table i have made a primary Key and left it as an INT but I would like to set it as auto increment ! I dont know how to select that option as i was used to mysql way of doing things or does this have to be done as a stored procedure ? Any assistance much appreciated.
I am very new to using SQL server 7. I've always used mysql in the past. I cant figure out howto create a autoincrementing key for my tables... is it possible to do in SQL7?? If so.. how.. i thought you just set the datatype to auto increment etc...
I would like to avoid using a cursor. I am updating several rows in a table with sequential numbers starting at a number I pass into the Stored Procedure. Is there a way to do this with one update statement?
Users for a long time have been able to post new topics in our forums. However, a short time ago, the some users began to experience problems. What I have narrowed it down to is that upon inserting into the table, sometimes id value for the topic is the same as an id that is already in the table, so it fails to insert the record (due to a constraint). However, the topic id column is an auto-increment column and should just assign the next number for the id value.
I have important a table from mircosoft access into ms sql server 2000, I've created a new ID row and set the primary key - but I need to use the ID from microsoft access as well. therefore I'd like to add an auto increment +1 on the old access ID field... but how do I do that?
