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.
I have a table converted from Access and the identity keys were lost. Now I need to make the id column the identity column, but it already has a lot of null values, how do I auto generate integer values for the null rows? The row ids are incremented, so if there is a way to auto increment the ids
I am facing a problem here. I have a column where the value is equivalent to my identity column's value. For an example, I have a column A store is "ABC0001" and the 0001 is came from a column called Column B which identity on. when a new record inserted and Column B is next identity number and Column A value is "ABC" and add number from Column B.
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 recently moved a .net site from one machine to another, now for some reason one of the stored procedures is throwing an exception when attempting to insert!
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An explicit value for the identity column in table 'dbo.tbl_Events' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON
BTW, the column in question does have the identity set to Yes in management studio
I was using originally SQL 2005, now its on SQLexpress 2008
I have an insert table with identity specification set. And I getthis error. I'm using a stored procedure to store it. How do I correct it. I'm also using a details view on my insert page.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Insert' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
In the tutorial I am doing I have been requested to change a field in the colums properties of a table. The ID column is currentl displaying NO and NO again for "is aIdentity. I can Highlight the values but cannot change to yes. either in the properties talbe or in the properties window on the right hand side of IDE interface. How do I change that value?
actually recently we just shifted our website. & now when i try to transfer database from my previous server to new remote server database.all the tables auto increment field is set to 'NO' and there is no primary key anymore.
I am creating dynamic view using two tables.one is emp_Tbl and 2nd table emp_salary which is created dynamically .creating view it gives error 'Create View or Function failed because no column name was specified for column 2.
my code is: create view [dbo].[Emp_Salary_pay] as select dbo.Emp_Tbl.Emp_Status, (select column_name + ', ' from information_schema.columns where table_name = 'Emp_salary' ) FROM dbo.Emp_Tbl INNER JOIN dbo.Emp_Salary ON dbo.Emp_Tbl.Emp_Id = dbo.Emp_Salary.Pay_Emp_Id
In 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.
