Data Defintion Query - Creating New AutoNumber Field


You can create a query in the SQL view that adds a new column to a table.
For example, to add a new text field named X10, you use the following
language:

Alter Table MyTargetTable1
Add Column X10 text;

Question: How can I make the new Column X10 be an AutoNumber field. The
following does NOT work:

Alter Table MyTargetTable1
Add Column X10 AutoNumber;

I'm trying to copy a table and its structure from DBase into Access. One of the fields is a primary key and contains numbers from 0 to 20000 and then from 30000 to 40000. How can I make this column in access an autonumber? Because the data is already set to a 'text' field, access wont allow me to change it to an 'autonumber field'. Any suggestions much appreciated as im ready to tear my hear out!! cheers

1. I want to create an autonumber, my requirement is : 2005/0001 (Year/autonumber), which year & autonumber no. both can auto run. 2. I had create a query by making relation to a table & query, but I can't update record in query or in form. I believe the problem is due to the source query.

I created a VB.Net 1.1 application that iterates through all the tables in any basic Access 2000 database passed to it and generates the same table structure in a SQL Server Express database. The structure is created fine (with minor data conversions from one to the other, e.g. yes/no --> bit, memo --> text, etc). My problem now is transferring the data over from Access to SQL Server. I thought it would be a fairly straight forward...

I realize that this probably isn't a best practice, but I'm working with legacy code that has a query stored in one column of a table. Because the queries vary, the JSP page that selects a query and runs it cannot add any additional information (like a WHERE clause). I need to add a few more records to the the table, and would like the query to include a value from another field in the current row in a WHERE clause -- something like...

I previously posted about data shifting between records in my Access 2000 MDB with a SQL Server 7 back end, using ODBC linked tables. Every once in a while, data from one record mysteriously appears in another record. This incident happened again, this time adding a new wrinkle to the situation. There are two tables -- TableA and TableB -- which have a one-to-one relationship with each other, joined on TableA's autonumber primary key...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
