Reset Identity Column Value in SQL Server depending on whats being inserted

I have a SQL Server 2008 database with a table that has an ID field that has an identity increment and seed of 1.
This work great as each new record created automatically gets a new and distinct number.
Now when I insert certain new records I need to be able to make that value start at 10001 and then the next would be 10002 etc.
But this is only for certain inserts.
Is there a way to control the identity seed & increment on the fly via a query maybe?
So some inserts would follow 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 depending on whats being inserted
and others would follow 10001,10002,10003 depending on whats being inserted.
is this possible?

Make it a different field. Don't mess with your PK.
Make sure you have a plan for when you get 10000 records in this table.

Problem in EOImpl.doDML() ,with Identity column in MS SQL server.

Hello,
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0
My application is working with MS SQL Server.
One of the tables in the database has its PK as Identity column.
EO is created with the corresponding attribute as Primary Key.
Upon calling doDML() in EOImpl, it generates an insert statement and attempts to insert in the PK field as well. MS SQL does not allow insertion in PK field and throws exception.
I tried setting some configuration on EO PK attribute, but in vein. Also there is no other 'unique' column in table that can be setup as PK in EO.
Appreciate your suggestions.

i think better to Oracle datbase as I am afraid of that Oracle won't be able to see your problem against sql server due to sql server is not their product!

Performance operations based on Column values in SQL server 2008

Hi ,
I have a table which consist of following columns
ID    Formula
Values
DisplayValue
1
a*b/100       100*12/100
      null
2
b*c/100
12*4/100
null
I want to perform operation based on column "Values" and save data after operations in new column Name "Display Value" .i.e I want to get the below result . Can anyone please help.
ID    Formula
Values
DisplayValue
1
a*b/100       100*12/100
      12
2
b*c/100
12*4/100
0.48
Thanks for the help.
Regards, Priti A

Try this,
create table #mytable (ID int,Formula varchar(10), [Values] varchar(10), DisplayValue decimal(10,4))
insert into #mytable values(1 ,'a*b/100','100*12/100',null)
insert into #mytable values(2 ,'b*c/100','12*4/100',null)
declare @rowcount int=1
while @rowcount <= (select max(id) from #mytable)
begin
declare @expression nvarchar(max)
select @expression=[values] from #mytable where id = + @rowcount
declare @sql nvarchar(max)
set @sql = 'select @result = ' + @expression
declare @result decimal(10,4)
exec sp_executesql @sql, N'@result decimal(10,4) output', @result = @result out
update #mytable set DisplayValue= @result where id = @rowcount
set @rowcount=@rowcount+1
end
select * from #mytable

Ident_Current('TableName') not giving last inserted identity Value in SQL Server 2012

Hi ,
Ident_Current('TableName') is not giving last inserted identity Value in SQL Server 2012.
Latest Value of ID and Ident_Current is differing for that particular table.
Why its happening? Ident_Current value is greater than last inserted ID.
Please guide me why its happening?

Here is one example:
CREATE DATABASE PMCtest ON (NAME = 'PMCtest', FILENAME = 'B:\ProdDB-Unzipped\PMCtest.mdf', SIZE = 25GB )
LOG ON (NAME = 'PMCtest_log', FILENAME = 'B:\ProdDB-Unzipped\PMCtest.ldf', SIZE = 2GB)
CREATE TABLE identity_crisis (a int IDENTITY NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b sysname NOT NULL CHECK (b <> 'sysschobjs'))
go
INSERT identity_crisis (b) VALUES ('First name')
INSERT identity_crisis SELECT name FROM sys.objects
go
SELECT MAX(a), ident_current('identity_crisis')
FROM identity_crisis
go
DROP TABLE identity_crisis
Because the second INSERT statement fails, the identity values from 2 to 12 are lost. This is a very intentional design to promote high concurrency. If you don't want gaps, you should not use IDENTITY, but roll your own.
Also, beware that ident_current returns database-wide value, so if you insert one row, and another process inserts another row before you interrogate ident_current, you will get the id for the row of the other process.

How to update the identity_column value in sql server 2008

Hi Team,
I have identity column based table. In the table i use insert the name as per the requirement and for ID i use to set the identity now i need to update the particular row id.

Msg 8102, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Cannot update identity column 'CategoryID'.
Kindly help me out regarding this.
Thanks & Regards,

You cannot update an IDENTITY column. You need to move the data into another table make the changes over there and insert the back the data into original table.

The WPF MediaElement (unlike Silverlight's) doesn't support setting the Source to a Stream directly. You could try any of the workarounds suggested here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7117589/using-mediaelement-to-play-video-from-stream
Othwerwise you could select the data (bytes) from the database into a byte[]:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13952261/insert-and-retrieve-bytearray-from-sql-server-in-c-sharp
...and then save the data to a temporary physical file and play this one as usual:
byte[] data = ...; //select from db
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("temp.wav", data);
var mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.Open(new Uri("temp.wav", UriKind.Relative));
mediaPlayer.Play();
The MediaPlayer.Open method will read the file via a stream automatically.
Hope that helps.

In SQL Server Transactional replication what all changes I can do on subscriber table

In SQL Server Transactional replication what changes I can do on subscriber table
Thanks

Hi Ajay.G,
According to your description, if you want to do some updates at the Subscriber, you need to note the following things.
•If TIMESTAMP or IDENTITY columns are used, and they are replicated as their base data types, values in these columns should not be updated at the Subscriber.
•Subscribers cannot update or insert text, ntext or image values . Instead, you could partition the text and image columns into a separate table and modify the two tables within a transaction.To update large objects at a Subscriber, use the
data types varchar(max), nvarchar(max), varbinary(max) instead of text, ntext, and image data types, respectively.
•Updates to unique keys (including primary keys) that generate duplicates and then they are not allowed and will be rejected because of a uniqueness violation.
•If the Subscriber database is partitioned horizontally and there are rows in the partition that exist at the Subscriber but not at the Publisher, the Subscriber cannot update the pre-existing rows.

Storing 6 millions values in SQL server columns

Hi,
How many values (size) I can store in single SQL server column.
My Scenario,
Column1 Column2 Column3
1 ABC 1,2,3,........(6 millions values)
2 CDE 1,2,3,.......(6 millions values)
and problem is that I can't store them in rows. I need to store them in single column with comma separated.
What would be the best way to store them and retrieve them faster. I am thinking about converting it to byte[] or something but not sure how much time it will take to convert to byte and then again to text.

and problem is that I can't store them in rows. I need to store them in single column with comma separated.
No you don't! Unless, that is, you really like to hurt yourself. It's a basic idea that in a relational database that each cell holds an atomic value, and this what relational datbases are optimised for.
That said, if all you want to do is to store a bunch of values that you will never look at in the database, but the database will act as an unintelligent data store you will only look at the values outside the database, then it
could make sense. However, a warning: just because you think that there is no requirement today, don't be surprised that you are sooner or later are asked questions like: "which the highest value for ABC?", "Which value is the most
frequent across ABCs and CDEs?". Questions that are very simple to answer is you have data in a properly designed data model. But extremely to painful to answer if your all values in a single column.
But if you take this, path, yes, storing values in a varbinary(MAX) with four bytes (or whatever that is needed) per value would be the best thing. It takes up less space than a string, and with fixed length it's easier to find value 198713 if this would
be nedded. You seem to be worried about conversion from byte to text. Why is not clear to me, since number are usally born binary. But obviously, I have no idea where you get these values from or how you would use them.
My initial recommendation still stands: store each value in a single row.

Identity Field in MS SQL Server

Hi All,
I'm new in JDBC. I'm trying to get the autogenerated value from an identity column in SQL Server, after an INSERT operation.
I was looking around and I found there is an smart way:
stmt.executeUpdate(str, Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);
ResultSet rs = stmt.getGeneratedKeys();
but the executeUpdate reports an UnsupportedOperationException.
I'm using jdbc-odbc-bridge.
What am I missing?
thanks in advance

How to track only one column updated in SQL Server 2012?

Is there a way to only track one specific column named Newsletter (bit format) of a table only when any record in that column has been changed from False to True?
e.g. In SQL Serer 2012, I have a table named tblSignupHistory. so i originally set the query like this:
ALTER TABLE tblSignupHistory
ENABLE CHANGE_TRACKING
WITH(TRACK_COLUMNS_UPDATED = ON)
and in my stored procedure, if any data is changed, SQL Server will automatically send me an email notification.
BUT i only want the notification email to be send only when this one specific column's value is changed from 0 to 1 (False to True). Any changes in other columns for the same table can be ignored.
Thanks.

Parsing Column Value. SQL / Stored Proc/ Function ?

Hi,
I just started writing SQL. Need your valuable input for the following query,
Need to query a table and parse a column to produce a desired output.
like suppose my column value is
#ADFA
/SDFGAS
{ABC}: 123
{BCA}: 456
{DEF}: 789
and i need to get an out put as follows
{ABC} {BCA} {DEF}
123 456 789
so the patterns are defined.
I some how tried and reached through SQL, but there should be better way than this. So posted this question.
I tried using SQL itself (using substr, instr & decode functions in the select statement)... with out using stored proc/ function as i have not created one earlier.. I am just learning the syntax and trying it.
The psuedo code i have planned is
function substring(column_value, search_string)
var start_index NUMBER;
var end_index NUMBER;
var result VARCHAR2;
result = 'N/A';
start_index = instr(column_value, search_string) + 4
if start_index >= 4
end_index = instr(substr(column_value, 0, start_index), CHR(13)-1)
if start_index >= 4 && end_index >=0
result = substr(column_value, start_index, end_index);
return result;
I just wrote it like writing in a programming language. Need to implement this through Stored Proc/ Function. Please let me know your comment on this

Oops, I think regular expressions are not available in my current oracle version :-(
I am having Oracle 9i.
Got it.. Yes it is available from 10G onwards.. :-(

Cannot get Universe column in the sql server ?

Hi,
I able to get some of columns using below query , but I cannot get some of the columns from universe to SQL Server.
If I try through SSIS also the columns are missing which are unable to get using openquery.
If I add "Microsoft ODBC Data Source (ODBC)" for Universe U2 also then some of the columns are missing .
For Example : Unable to get "Description" Column.
How can I check what is the problem ? Please help me on this..
select * FROM OPENQUERY(ulive, 'select Description
FROM TABLENAME WHERE Z_ID=''020324.doc''')
Msg 7321, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
An error occurred while preparing the query for execution against OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "ulive".
Thank you..

What is Universe U2 server? Is it SQL Server or Oracle or perhaps MySQL?
select Description FROM ULIVE.DBNAME.DBO.TABLENAME WHERE Z_ID='020324.doc'
