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 have a textbox that takes an integer value, and a submit button that when clicked passes the value to a detailsview to display the database record at that index.
What I'd like to do is, when the button is clicked, compare the number to the keys in the detailsview's datasource so that if the record ID doesn't exist, I can display a label telling the user that the ID# doesn't exist.
How would I go about doing this? Is there some sort of compare method for the datakeynames property?

I am using SQL SERVER 2008 database. I have a table Customers in which the CustomerID column is had datatype INT intially but due to increase in Customers the number range is exceeding which may cause error arithmetic overflow of data. Hence I thought to modify the datatype from INT to BIGINT and wrote an alter script but when I ran the script it failed. Hence provide me in creating alter script for the updating the datatype of the primarykey column for the Customers table.
View 2 RepliesLet's say I have a table that holds information about books, with a column called bookid as a primary key with auto increment of 1. When I create a couple of records, it assigns 1 to the first row and 2 to the second row for the bookid column. If I delete the second row and enter another row, even though table now only has 2 records, the primary key column says 1 and 3 for their bookids. Is it possible to change back the bookid of the second record from 3 to 2 or is it just server assigned and can't be changed.
