View 9 RepliesI got a table PartsMedia where I can insert all the images related to a product. The table has the columns :
PartsMediaID , auto-increment
PartsNo
MediaLink
MediaDescription
CatalogCode
SortCode
I want to insert a complete row with automatic increment and the PartsNo should be the same as the PartsNo from the PartsMaster table.
The medialink should be the PartsNo + '-2.jpg'
The mediadescription is for example 'image2'
The CatalogCode should be 'catalog'
and the sorting code should be '0'
From The partsMaster table I Just need the PartNo So I can add this to the PartMedia Table. The PartNo is the foreign key in the PartMedia table.
The following I got so far but no luck
insert into dbo.PartsMedia (PartNo,MediaLink,MediaDescription,CatalogCode, SortCode)
values (dbo.PartsMaster.PartNo, PartsMaster.PartNo+'-2.jpg','image2', 'catalog','0')
i have a question, suppose i have a table 'tblImage' which have 3 rows of data and my auto increment is not +1.
imageId imageName

2 b.gif
4 c.gif
i want to query '2' using LINQ C# to the table in MS SQL and show the record which i have done easily BUT now i want to get the next auto incremented value to make Next button on the sane web form, which is in this case is '4' and i also want the previous imageId as well.
I use SQL Server and when I create a new table I make a specific field an auto increment
primary key. The problem is some people told me making the field an auto increment for the primary key means when deleting any record (they don't care about the auto increment field number) the field increases so at some point - if the type of my field is integer for example - the range of integer will be consumed totally and i will be in trouble.
So they tell me not to use this feature any more.The best solution is making this through the code by getting the max of my primary key then if the value does not exist the max will be 1 other wise max + 1.Any suggestions about this problem? Can I use the auto increment feature?I want also to know the cases which are not preferable to use auto increment ..and the alternatives...note :: this question is general not specific to any DBMS , i wanna to know is this true also for DBMSs like
I am using LINQ to store and retrieve data from tables with a clustered index key. However, I also need to know how to obtain an inserted table row identity with an auto-increment Primary key.

[System.Data.Linq.Mapping.DatabaseAttribute(Name="EFMDB")]
public partial class DataClassesDataContext : System.Data.Linq.DataContext
I am asking for the C# code that is needed in a button click event handler that will insert a row of data in a table named "Fields". It only consists of an auto-incrementing primary key column (FieldID), a string column (Phrase) and a null defaulted variable column.
i'm working on my first project on asp.net using c#.
I'm adding a couble of fields to database but i need the primary key of the master table to add it to sub table.
The database contains 2 tables :
Question Table :questionID(primary key and identity) , questionInText
Answer table : answerID , answer1,answer2 , questionID
code used to insert to db :
[code]....
There is one table which primary key is ID and its data type is Integer with auto increment. Gradually the value has increased and I want to change it to hold large amount of value.
So, Which in data type I have to change from Integer without effecting the previous values?
show me what is the syntax to add an increment column to Select Query? There will be additional column which goes 1,2,3 ... n.

questionID is auto increment.
The question is : How i get questionID after adding to database without using sql statment ?
I need to copy the records of a row to the next available row in the same table. I tried with "Insert ...Select " but it throws me a error since the pk is auto-increment. Also, i cant specify each and every column inside the insert...select statment cause i've almost 30 columns.
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 a rookie developer here and I have tried looking around for an answer but I am little confused. I have a stored procedure that calls multiple stored procedures when I go to create a new contact.[Code]....
I though I could use the OUTPUT Command to copy out the NewContactID but I am getting all kinds of syntax errors. I am confused as to what I am missing here.
