hello!
i'm new to sql server and having some problem getting the primary key or
index (Reference column). opening up the design table, the primary key or
index column has an identity seed number that may vary in time. the identity
increment is 1. in my code, i'm trying to get the next value and showing it
in a textbox (txtReference). but i'm getting the wrong value.
example: if the last row in the table TaskOrder has a value of 150 in the
Reference column, i'm getting the value of 151. but bec. of the identity seed
of 200, when the row is actually added, the value for the Reference column is
201 or higher.
how do i get the actual value that the database will use? i need to change
my select statement.
my code:
sReference = "Select max(Reference) From TaskOrder";
sqlConn = new SqlConnection(C onfigurationSet tings.AppSettin gs["sql2000"]);
sqlCMD = new SqlCommand(sRef erence);
sqlCMD.Connecti on = sqlConn;
sqlConn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter( sqlCMD);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(ds );
int tableRowCount = ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count;
if (tableRowCount == 1)
{
sReference = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0].ItemArray[0].ToString();
nReference = int.Parse(sRefe rence) + 1;
sReference = nReference.ToSt ring();
Session["sReference "] = sReference;
txtReference.Te xt = sReference;
}
else
{
txtReference.Te xt = "1";
}
sqlConn.Close() ; 4 1795
Hi,
You can't know in advance what the new value will be it's only after you
added it that you know which was assigned.
Imagine what happens if two person execute at the same time the code below?
both will get the same "id" but only one ( at the most ) will really get it
after all.
what is what you want to do?
cheers,

i need to show the value in a textbox (software requirement). i also need to
add a new row in another table wherer the value is stored in column 1. in
retrieving the data later, i need to use the value to fetch the right row in
both tables.

Hi,
Well, you would have to change that requirement :) , I had a similar
situation so what I did was show this in the Textbox:
"N/A *"
Below in little red font:
"* The ID will be assigned after the data is inserted in the DB"
Remember you will have the ID only AFTER you insert it in the DB.
Cheers,

You could add the row right away. This will give you a new ID.
When the client enters the other data, you update the existing row instead
of inserting it.
Obviously the row will be mostly empty at first. The row could be marked
as "WaitingForData " by some field, and if it has been in that state for
more than a day, you can clean it up.

Hi
i have a table with primary key defined on col1 and col2. now i want to
have col3 also included in primary key. when i alter the table it gives
me error for duplicate rows. there is an option for 'with nocheck' but
it only works with check or foreign key constraint. is there any option
in sql server like in oracle 'no validate' which doesnt validate the
existing data and force the data validation from new records.
thanx

I am trying to add a record using SQL. My problem is that the primary keys
are foreign keys, and these foreign keys are autonumbers. I therefore do
not know the primary keys of the record I am trying to insert. I therefore
do not think that I can use the sql "Insert Into" command.
Here is a simplified illustration of my tables:
