Autonumber what is it

Hi there,
I just inherited a site that used to have a store. The nav at
the bottom of each page is in a table whose ID is autonumber3.
Is that useful anymore? What value is it to have all the
tables labeled the same?
I made a copy of the site, and now am paring it down to the
pages used. It is just a static site now, except for one page which
you may register on. It has a form and a send button and reset. I
say this in case it is useful. I am a designer, not a programmer,
so I feel I may have bit off more than I can chew. It seems the
site was not created in DW.
Thank you so much for your attention.
Sincerely,
Hope
p.s. I just noticed I have managed to unink the rolloevers...

A table with an ID does nothing without something to
reference that ID, like
a CSS rule, or a javascript behavior.
You can specify ID values for every element on your page if
you want. It
will have no effect on anything, until you add one of these
other things to
the picture.

Serious problem with database need help

hello experts
i am working with MS-ACCESS and connecting it with java programing
now the problem with me are
according to my need i have to create a table that contain Autonumber field
but when i insert element in this table by query
String query1 = "insert into Forum (Subject,Author,Date,Reply) values('"+param1+"','"+username+"','"+dateformat+"',"+reply+")";
st1 = con1.createStatement(); it gives sql exception but when i remove
autonumber field and make it simple field it works ok but i want to keep autonumber field and thn want to insert it
is it possible to create a dynamic table in ms-access through java query like
String query3 = "create table"+"topicId"+"( message varchar(1000) NOT NULL,author varchar(50) NOT NULL, date varchar(30) NOT NULL)";
here topic id some variable that contain table name
i think problem is that MS-ACCESS has no varchar data type plz help me
The complete code i written is as follow

hello experts
first i change my Date to date and thn try but it was not working.
and thn i try as dinesh_tcs said
i change my query as
String query3 = "create table"+"topicId"+"( message string NOT NULL,author string NOT NULL, date string NOT NULL)";
but nothing help me
one more thing actually i don,t want to insert manually the field of autonumber what i want that my query work when i leave the autonumber field to insert values in the table ( or whatever way i want to insert values in that table by keeping autonuber given by MS_ACCESS)
plz do the change in code i have maintained above or if not possible thn write the query that u have tested

Can you change a story or text frame's index? (re autonumbering)

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the index of a text frame or story without changing the actual visual layout of an InDesign document? So far all I can come up with is to cut the frame and repaste it into the document. You can move a story within the index list of a document, but that visually cuts and pastes the story text.
actDoc.stories.item(1).move(LocationOptions.BEFORE, actDoc.stories.item(0));
I can't see any method to change the index of a text frame (other than cutting and repasting).
I want to put together some tests. I have a bunch of questions. Each question is a single story in a single text frame in an InDesign document. The text frame is linked to an InCopy document. The first paragraph of the question has a "QuestionNumber" style but the para style has no numbering. I want to have only one version of each question (the InCopy story) but to put the questions into different tests in different orders with different numbering. What I do is to create an InDesign template for the tests that has a QuestionNumber para style that includes autonumbering with the "Continue Numbers across Stories" option checked. This works beautifully and the questions are numbered in the order in which the text frames (and stories) are (via a script) copied from the question document and pasted into the test paper document. When the same question/story/textframe is used in two tests it is numbered in the order in which it is pasted into each test paper (but the original stays the same because it has no numbering).
The next step would be to be able to reorder the question numbers within the test paper (if you wanted to, say, swap questions 18 and 20). To do that you have to change the index of the story because the autonumbering across stories seems to depend on the index of the story.
What seems to happen is that stories are indexed in the order in which they are pasted into a document, but text frames are indexed in the opposite order. If you paste a text frame with one story into a new document, it is textframe.item(0) and story.item(0). If you then paste a second one into the document it is story.item(1) but textframe.item(0). The first text frame becomes textframe.item(1). When you cut a text frame and repaste it, it is reindexed as if you were pasting it for the first time.
The autonumbering also seems to be segregated by page. If you have questions 1 and 2 on page 1 and questions 3 and 4 on page 2, you can move around the text frames for 1 and 2 on the page but the numbering stays the same. Likewise for 3 and 4. If you drag 3 across to page 1 it stays as 3 but if you drag question 4 across to page 1 it becomes 3, and the original question 3 on page 2 becomes question 4. It is confusing but makes sense in a weird way once you get the hang of it.
Anyway, I have probably answered my own question and the best way to renumber the questions in a test is to run the script again and create a new document using a new question order.
But any other ideas are welcome.
Thanks.

hi Brian
which version of InDesign you have ?
I have checked these steps on CS3 and CS4:
first I've set ON to option in preferences to preserve links when placing
then I've placed DOC file as AnchoredTF in new Story
then I've copied this AnchoredTF and pasted it on page, and then I've pasted it as another AnchoredTF - each time there was new lick created to the same DOC file
then I've set OFF to option in preferences to preserve links when placing
and even when I again copied and pasted this AnchoredTF with placed DOC file - it still add new link on Links palette
so maybe with InCopy stories there is next bug or next "feature" ...
[edit]
ok - I've checked InCopy file - after exporting TextFrame as InCopy Story
and it's like you've said - pasting on page - new link is created - pasting as Anchored - link isn't created ... no matter if option in preferences is set or not ...
verdict - we've found new bug
BUT ... if you link it again - by CTRL+D method - link is preserved even if option in preferences is set to off so you can have more than one InCopy Story placed as AnchoredTF in same parent Story ...

What is a text symbol, what does it do (other than mess with my doc)?

I am working with FM8 in Tech Comm Suite 1 on Windows XP.
Some of my docs have text symbols sprinkled liberally throughout the text. I know you can select the option not to view the text symbols, but they still show up in FM and PDFs and RoboHelp and play havoc with the spacing.
What are text symbols?
What purpose do they serve?
How can you make sure they aren't inserted when creating a doc?
Is there any way to get rid of them easily?
Thanks for the help that I know will soon be coming.
M

To clarify, text symbols are one of FrameMaker's visual guides that can be optionally displayed in a FrameMaker document window to indicate the location of something else. A text symbol appears as a special character, but never prints or appears in PDF. However, the represented object may indeed affect the way the published document appears. As explained in the FM 9 User Guide, there are text symbols for an end of paragraph, end of flow, tab, anchored frame, table anchor, marker, forced return, equation alignment point, nonbreaking space, discretionary hyphen, and suppress hyphenation. You turn text symbols on and off with the View > Text Symbols command. Doing so does not affect the content of your document; it just helps you locate where the represented objects occur.
Thus, the problem you are having is not text symbols per se, but the object represented by a text symbol. As others have commented, the tab character can produce the observed results. Viewing text symbols can help you locate the tab characters. While tab characters can be inserted automatically in an autonumber or, in a structured document, in a prefix or suffix, they can also be entered from the keyboard, by pasting, or by converting a document that contains them from another format. You can find tabs that are not automatic using Edit > Find/Change. Type \t as the text you want to find. If you wish you can do a global change to remove all the tabs in the document or change them all to spaces.

FrameMaker 9 - Autonumbering of Tables/Figures not working correctly

I have a multi-chapter book. My autonumber paragraph definitions for "Figure Title" and Table Title" are:
     F:Figure <$chapnum>-<n+>
     T:Table <$chapnum>-<n+>
My other autonumber tags are:
     C:Chapter <n+>
     A:Appendix <A+>:
     L:<a=1>)\t
     L:<a+>)\t
     N:<n=1>.\t
     N:<n+>.\t
     •\t
     NOTE:
     Syntax:\t
     Output:\t
My numbering formats in the file and the book file are:
Chapter 1:
     Volume tab: Volume1 # 1
     Chapter tab: Chapter # 1
     Page tab: First Page # 1
     Paragraph tab: Restart Paragraph Numbering
Chapter 2 (etc.):
     Volume tab: Volume1 # 1
     Chapter tab: Continue Numbering From Previous Chapter in Book
     Page tab: First Page # 1
     Paragraph tab: Continue Numbering From Previous Chapter in Book
What I get when I update the book is:
In Chapter 1:
     Figure 1-1
     Figure 1-2
     Table 1-1
In Chapter 2:
     Figure 2-3
     Table 2-2
In Chapter 3:
     Figure 3-4
     Table 3-3
It's obvious I'm doing something wrong, but I can't for the life of me figure out what. Does anyone have any ideas?

You didn't say how you want it to be, but FM appears to be numbering exactly
how you've set it. The number before the dash is the chapter number and
continues numbering from the previous chapter in the book. The number to the
right of the dash is also numbering (as a paragraph) from the previous
chapter in the book.
If you want the figure number (the part after the dash) to restart in each
chapter, you need to go to the book file, right click and choose Numbering.
Then set "Restart paragraph numbering" on the Paragraph tab. This will
restart the number after the dash to 1 at the beginning of each chapter.
I would also add that it is confusing to the reader to have Table 1-1 come
after Figure 1-2. Check out this document, "The Case for Simple Numbering:"

Autonumbering corrupted when converting RoboHelp HTML 5 to 8.

everal problems:
1 RH 8 "created" multiple definitions in my .css file for a each style.
2 Autonumbered procedures (nested <ol> </ol> in original Help project was stable, but is not correct in RH8
3 User documentation for Font Family is incorrect/incomplete
4 Numbers in steps are Times Roman 12, text is Verdana 10.
1
css file has 3 "versions" for defined styles, p, kadov, and another one with a rh prefix. I've explicitly called out font family using text editor, but wonder which definition is being picked up in RH 8 project, and if I can/should delete the redundant definitions
2
The numbered list selection in the dialog box does not have an example for what I'm looking for:
1 Step one
2 Step two
   a. Substep one
   b. Substep two
3 Step three
The conversion automagically renumbered procedures with mixed <ol> and <ul> as well as nested <ol>. The result is a procedure that looks like:
1. Step one
2. Step two
    1. Substep one
    2. Substep two
A. Step three
3
Font Set and setting numbers to same size as paragraph text...looking for adequate documetnation on these two problems.
Font Set documentation is obtuse, on the same page as "Font" instructions. There is no Font Set in the menu.

1
The fact that your CSS still contains kadov indicates that for some reason it did not upgrade properly.
Do you have another project using the same CSS so that you could take a copy and upgrade that to see if it works second time around?
If not, backup the CSS and edit it manually. Try www.bradsoft.com and use the free lite version of TopStyle.
2
Are you looking at multi level numbering? Pretty sure that simple layout is there.
It is beginning to sound like what you you had various styles that effectivley gave you multi level numbering. What RH8 provides is different and I think you need to check it out. There is some information about it on my site. http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh_tour/index.htm
3
Sounds like you have the LI configured to Verdana but OL not configured so it is taking your browser default or you have that defined as Times.

You have four items in the heading of your post but only three in the body.

Autonumber paras across chapters

Hello,
I want to have a multi-chapter book, each chapter of which has standard numbered headings at various levels. So far, no problem.
In addition to this, I want to add a second set of numbers which run across the entire book and are independent of the other numbering system. Heading1 paras should be numbered sequentially (§1, §2, etc.) and other, lower level paras should be alphabetised (a, b, etc.) within that. I want these numbers to appear in mirrored margins.
(This is a standard system used in grammars in my field.)
Seems that the mirroring suggests I use side heads. But after that, I'm unsure what to do. Can I set up counters at the book rather than chapter level? Or do I have to do it all by hand once the book is finished?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
K

That would be the method you should use for the side head numbering, yes. This step controls the action of the counters -- whether they're incremented, restart, or contain a custom text message.
The counters are actually invoked by the paragraph tags, which also control the formatting and the way the counters are presented in the document. One thing that you should do when setting up numbering in your paragraph tags, that is often overlooked, is to specify a numbering stream. Frame has 57 streams that can be assigned to track different things. A particular stream is invoked by starting the autonumbering string with a letter and colon -- A: or a:, for instance -- and then the numbering counters. Some people might use c: or C: for chapters, H: for heads, or S: for a sidehead.
So two steps, with different purposes.

Autonumber a specific paragraph heading for all Book files

I'm hoping I'm missing something simple again, but here goes: (Using FM 9.237)
I have a book containin several documents, each of which are part of a single outline. Here is my numbering setup as it currently stands.
Control Process 1.0: Lorem Ipsum <n+>.<n=0>:\t
Control Objective 1.1: Lorem Ipsum <n>.<n+>: \t
Control 1.1.a: Lorem Ipsum. <n>.<n>.<a+>.\t
Control 1.1.b: Lorem Ipsum. <n>.<n>.<a+>.\t
Control Process 2.0: Lorem Ipsum <n+>.<n=0>:\t
Control Objective 2.1: Lorem Ipsum <n>.<n+>: \t
Control 2.1.a: Lorem Ipsum. <n>.<n>.<a+>.\t
Control 2.1.b: Lorem Ipsum. <n>.<n>.<a+>.\t
And so on...
I need the Control Process Paragraph to Autonumber across all the files in my book. Thus, in my Doc 1 I may have Control Process 1-4, and then in Doc 2 I want the Control Process to start at 5. I've tried using <$chapnum>, but no matter what I do, the Control Process paragraph restarts at 1. I cannot figure out how to tell FM that I want it to start based on the numbering in the previous file. I've used autonumbering successfully for years, but for some reason I'm stumped on this.
Any help would be more appreciated that I can relate.
Jeff

Jeff,
As you have it set up in your post, the number building blocks refer to paragraph numbering. So, in your book file, select all chapter files after the first chapter, right-click, and select Numbering. Then in the Paragraph tab, select Continue from previous.
If you want to use the <$chapnum> building block, then replace the appropriate <n> with <$chapnum> in the autonumbering for the paragraph format. Then do the same as in the first paragraph, but select the Chapter tab and select continue from previous. In the book file, select the first chapter, right-click, and select Numbering. Then in the Chapter tab, select start at 1.
The important thing is to set the numbering from the book file, not within each chapter file. It is the book file that controls things.

Autonumber (sequencenumber) variable

Hi,
we're working on IP and we're trying to find a way to add a sequence number to our planning function. The idea is that one can do planning on a combination of Cost center and Cost element, whereby it is possible to plan more than 1 line on such a combination using the mentioned sequence number (possibly in combination with a copy function-e.g. one can copy a line and a new sequence number is automatically added).
Now I saw a post on this forum with regard to an autonumber variable, however the problem in that post didn't really regard the variable itself, and the solution was not explained. Is there anybody who knows the mentioned solution or has onother one?
Regards

Not exactly,
what should happen is that every combination of cost center and cost element has a sequence number. For example:
COST CENTER COST ELEMENT SEQ NR
1000______________400100_________1
1000 _____________ 400120_________1
1000 _____________ 400120_________2
2000 _____________ 400100_________1
2000 _____________ 400100_________2
2000 _____________ 400100_________3

AutoNumber data type

Hello.
First of all, I need to tell you that I am a newbie to Oracle and I am not even sure if I am at the right place...
Here is my question anyhow.
I am trying to convert a MS Access table to that of Oracle and was wondering what would be the equivalent data type in Oracle for "AutoNumber" data type in MS Access? I heard that I can use sequence object and trigger to do this but I am interested in knowing whether or not there is an equivalent data type for "AutoNumber" is in Oracle.
Thanx.
SK

No, there is no Access-equivalent autonumber in Oracle. If you want automatic key generation, create an oracle Sequence and increment it using an insert trigger. Front end applications will see no difference - i.e. you add the new record, then you can read back the generated key.

Autonumber setting overwritten

I have over 100 tables in an oracle database where each of them has a corresponding sequence generator. For each of the physical services corresponding to these tables, I have gone to the trouble of setting the autonumber property so that the corresponding sequence generator gets "fired". (thank you to Igor for this guidance). My problem is: When I update my metadata (whenever there is a database change), these properties in the physical layer get "wiped" clean. What tricks are there out there that can be used to keep this from happening? Is there a batch utilitiy that can be run so that if a table is called "foo", the the sequnce "foo_seq" gets associated with it in the corresponding physical data service (as an autonumber property)?
Thanks in advance.
SCott

Please open an enhancement request. Be sure to ask for both of
1) When databases tables are imported, that autogenerated columns are detected and the appropriate metadata is created (this may not be possible as the jdbc metadata may not provide sufficient information); and
2) When database metadata is updated, that user-modified information be preserved. This gets a little tricky as your database modification might involve removing the autogenerated aspect of those columns, thus keeping the autogenerated metadata would be incorrect. Hopefully (1) is possible.

AUTONUMBER question

Hi Fellows.
I'd like to ask a question. In the Oracle Migration Reference .pdf, there is a description of how to emulate MS Access AUTONUMBER data format inside an migrated db from Access to Oracle platform using triggers.
But we found that there is no need to use any trigger for that. Inserting data either from Access or from Oracle via DBA Studio causes the AUTONUMBER value to be automatically increased.
I would like to ask what the described trigger in the .pdf file is needed for.
Thanks in advance.
Marcos Yoshiaki Ibuki

Hi Marcos,
When an Access database is migrated to Oracle using the Migration Workbench a sequence is created holding the next value in the auto-number sequence. A trigger is then used to emulate the auto-number functionality
provided by Access. No manual intervention is required for the database being migrated. The reason a description is provided in the reference is to make the user aware that the AUTONUMBER data type is not available in Oracle. The reference can be used by the database user should they be adding new tables post migration which require the AUTONUMBER functionality.
I hope this answers your question,
Could you direct any other queries to

Autonumber in JDBC

Hi, I am using a Microsoft Access database for my application. How do you use the autonumber type in the insert statement. I couldn't figure it out. If it's not possible. What is the smartest way to get a id for your row?
Thanks in advance!
/J Lindroos

inserting a new row won't cause a problem, but
updating an existing row will, if you're using the
primary key as an autonumber. (if you specified
counter() in your create tabled statement).No it won't, update will work fine. the autonumber is only used on the insert. To get the id that was created by the autonumber you have to query the table like this:
select max(yourAutonumberFieldHere) as lastIDInserted
from yourTable

Autonumber building blocks

Using FM 9.0p230, I don't see anything in my autonumber building block scroll list. I've seen 'em before... did I unknowingly toggle them off? If so, how do I toggle them back on?
I've closed & reopened the application, and even gone to a new, blank document. No building blocks. What's up with that?

I am pretty sure this was fixed in 9.0p250, which you should be using. Really.
Until then you may look up the valid building blocks in the dos and enter them manually.

Moving Access table with an autonumber key to SQL Server table with an identity key

I have an SSIS package that is moving data from an Access 2010 database to a SQL Server 2008 R2 database. Two of the tables that I am migrating have identity keys in the SQL Server tables and I need to be able to move the autonumber keys to the SQL
Server tables. I am executing a SQL Script to set the IDENTITY_INSERT ON before I execute the Data Flow task moving the data and then execute a SQL Script to set the IDENTITY_INSERT OFF after executing the Data Flow task.
It is failing with an error that says:
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was
done.".
Error: 0xC020901C at PGAccountContractDetail, PGAccountContractDetail [208]: There was an error with input column "ID" (246) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (221). The column status returned was: "User does not have permission to

error row disposition on "input "OLE DB Destination Input" (221)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information
about the failure.
Error: 0xC0047022 at PGAccountContractDetail, SSIS.Pipeline: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PROCESSINPUTFAILED. The ProcessInput method on component "PGAccountContractDetail" (208) failed with error code 0xC0209029 while processing input "OLE DB
Destination Input" (221). The identified component returned an error from the ProcessInput method. The error is specific to the component, but the error is fatal and will cause the Data Flow task to stop running. There may be error messages posted
before this with more information about the failure.
Any ideas on what is causing this error? I am thinking it is the identity key in SQL Server that is not allowing the update. But, I do not understand why if I set IDENTITY_INSERT ON.
Thanks in advance for any help/guidance provided.

I suspect it is the security as specified in the message. E.g .your DBA set the ID columns so no user can override values in it.
And I suggest you 1st put the data into a staging table, then push it to the destination, this does not resolve the issue, but ensures better processing.
