I am following this tutorial : [URL]
I am where you "Create" an entry in the table, i have deleted the Id field, as Id is my primary key, and Is Identity = Yes, Identity Increment = 1, Identity Seed = 1.
When i hit the create button, the Id value is being validated, giving an invalid error. If i add the Id column back to the page, and fill in any number and click create, the entry is added to the database, with the Id value incremented (the typed in value does not matter). I believe this must have to do with the Movies.Designer.cs... but not sure how to fix it. Id should not be validated as it auto-incraments, but the model is looking for a Id value..
i cannot retrieve the new identity value from an inserted record(via DataAdapter.Update) in my DataRow.
I'm using a strong typed Dataset as DAL. The table i want to update is joinded with other tables in the SelectCommand, hence the designer cannot automatically generate the insert-/update-/delete-commands and also it cannot "Refresh the DataTable" automatically. [URL]
I've tried to set AutoIncrement=true/false on the primary-key's DataColumn but the result is the same: last MAX-ID+1 instead of the actual ID the database generated(SQL-Server 2005 EP; pk datatype:int, Is identity:yes, Identity Increment:1).
This will be the wrong value f.e if another instance of the application inserted a record that the first instance yet not knows and therefore generates an ID that already exists.
To retrieve the new identity from db i've appended following to my insert-command's CommandText:
;SELECT CAST (SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS int) AS newIdRMA
Also i've tried to add an Output-Parameter to it's parameter-collection:
This is part of my code that updates the database and sets the new ID(that doesn't work):

i have created a web form, where i have 3 textboxes into a table and one submit button.
i would like to store values from the textboxes into my database (sql server) when i click the submit button.
but how to insert the value that is not in textbox into database which is primary key for table without identity column.
I am developing a asp.net application and i am using SQL Server 2008. I took a IDENTITY column as Record_ID for detail table where i will have trillions of records per year. So just want to ask whats the largest number record id (identity) column can hold and in ASP.NET which data type i should use to handle record id as i am using this id as a reference to update the table data. I don't want to end up being trapped some day.
View 1 RepliesIn the database one number like a 91-9685748596 and, 2nd number like 9122-9685748596 and another one is 9685748596 .when we are try to formate it using substring function it all are may be9685748596,9685748596,9685748596.Mobile number is assigned as a primary key.so its showing error "Primary key violation".We can not the remove primary key also and there are 50 lack data in our database.

In my databse i have a databse tables
UserRole -UserID,UserName,RoleName.
Compaign - CompaignId,Region,CompaignName,LOB.
Employee -EmpNo,EmpName,CompignId

I dont have primary key for Compaign Table CompaignId is Identity column. Now i want to use CompaignId in Employee Table because based on compaign user will retrieve employee data in Front end. Again Employee table doesn't have primary key. I am uploading excel file data to databse but in excel file there is no empNo so i cannot use primaryKey i have EmpName in excel file.

View 5 RepliesI am working on a database with about twenty tables. In one of the tables "Customers" their is a column with
a primary key. Call it "CustomerNumber".
The problem is that we log customers from multiple vendors and so we might have the same customer number, but from different vendors. So really this would be a perfect situation where we could set up the primary key to be a composite key consisting of the Vendor and CustomerNumber combination.
The integrity of the database is not very well maintained because the Primary Key CustomerId is never used as a secondary key in any of the other tables.
So here is my question. Instead of making a primary composite key, can I just drop the primary key all together?
This is one of those questions I really hate to ask, because typically I would never lean tword this drastic of a measure to solve a problem. Because of other situations I can't discuss this might be the best alternative. So would it be okay to drop the primary key constraint all together?
I am working with a sql 2008 server express database in asp.net. I have a table which I will call table 1. Table 1 has a primary key called Order_Id which is an int and automatically increments. After deleting all the records from Table 1, how can I reset the primary key Order_Id to zero again?

I was wondering has anyone ever had a requirement to show the Primary Field Id value in a form when it Loads? I notice that in SQL Server there is no visible value assigned to the Primary column until you enter the data in all the fields and then move to the next row. Is this value stored somewhere internally so that I can show it on the webform to the user?

I am working on lazy loading page the problem is

var xml = $(xmlDoc);
pageCount = parseInt(xml.find("PageCount").eq(0).find("PageCount").text());
var customers = xml.find("AssetSummary");

If its posible I want to create a table with a primary key with auto-increment and a fixed value to differentiate the table from others tables
ex:
table 1 | table 2
ID | ID
----------|-----------
a1 |b1
a2 |b2
a3 |b3
