Another thing I want to mention after being burned by OLE DB and Excel. Even though you have IMEX=1 set, don't be surprised if the data fill contains some unexpected nulls. This happens because the underlying ISAM driver for Excel uses the first 8 cells of a column by default to determine the type. If you are dealing with spreadsheets from other people, chances are they are not 100% clean.
Fear not, all you need to do is edit the Registry and change a setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel
TypeGuessRows should be set to a value appropriate for determining the data type of your column. You can specify 0 and it will scan 16,000 rows which is probably overkill in most cases. This is an intertive process to get to the point where you have an acceptable value and clean results. Once you finish the tuning remember to add the registry setting to your setup program
Good Luck

Hi,
I have a members table, and the primary key ID is of type int, which has been setup to automatically increment the ID by 1 when a new member has been entered. I have added a lot of members while testing, but when I go live with the site then I would like to reset the auto-incrementer so that when a new member is added it starts back at 1 again. How do I do this?
I hope someone can help!!
Regards,
ma se

Hi all..
Please help me make SQL server, send alerts with special text, as SMS or email to a specified person whose phone or email are present in the database.The sending process should occur when the data related to this person is updated, or when his birthday is met for example(as a reminder).
And how can SQL launch an application, for example vb.net or asp.net application as a responce for an event, alert, or job.
AND Thanks before...
Sirag..

Have you looked at SQL mail? There is a COTS package called Postie that will send mail too. SQL mail requires Outlook to be installed on the SQL Server. Check also DatabaseMail with SQL 2005

Hello,
I have an identity column that is set up to auto-increment via the "Identity Increment" property for the column. This is working fine.
However, I have another column that I'm calling "Sequence". This is not an identity column, it just specifies the position of each record which is subject to change. I want to set up the column to auto-increment so I don't have to manually enter the Sequence number for each record I add. Is there a way to set up a column to auto-increment without making the column an Identity column, and still allowing me to manually change the Sequence numbers later if I want?
BTW: I'm adding data to the table in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
Thanks!
Ian

Use follwing:
objCol.AutoIncrement = true;
objCol.AutoIncrementSeed = 1;
objCol.AutoIncrementStep = 1;
objCol.ColumnName = "ID";

Thanks for the reply. I should have specified that I'm creating the table in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. These column properties don't seem to be exposed in the table designer. At least I can't find them...

You caqn not have more that one identity column per table. The way to handle what you are attempting may be to insert the new record, get the identity using the SCOPE_IDENTITY() function then updating the record with that value

If I have 2 INSERT statements in my stored procedure, one to add a member to the member table, and one to add the member's role to the MemberInRoles tables.
Let say the second INSERT fails, and I do a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION, will it remove the row added in the first INSERT statement?
How far does ROLLBACK TRANSACTION go? Will it reverse everything?

It depends where you put the BEGIN TRANSACTION
ma se wrote: How far does ROLLBACK TRANSACTION go?
Back to where you put BEGIN TRANSACTION.
ma se wrote: Will it reverse everything?
It will reverse everything on that connection to the point that BEGIN TRANSACTION was called. Other users of the database are unaffected (unless they are reading uncommitted changes [aka dirty read]- in which case they are declaring they realise some of the changes they are reading may not be valid)

Ok thanks!!
When I do a COMMIT TRANSACTION, do I need to do it for both INSERTS, or does using it once commit both INSERTS?
|

The COMMIT TRANSACTION will commit all changes since the BEGIN TRANSACTION. So, do it once after both inserts.

Hey Colin!!
Thanks for all the information, it is greatly appreciated!!
So how long have you been in databases? You probably know everything there is to know on SQL Server. Hows it going with SQL Server 2005? Do you do any other databases?
Cheers.

Commercially? About 12 years.

I've played with it a little, but I've not had a chance to work with it yet.
ma se wrote: Do you do any other databases?
To the same level as SQL Server? No. But I do know various other databases, but since I've been using SQL Server almost exclusively for the last 3 years it would take a wee while to pick some of it up again. However, most databases I've used have some varient of SQL so it isn't that hard to go from one to another.

I have another question.
I have a stored procedure that inserts the member, and a stored procedure that inserts a roles for that member. So when the member is added successfully, then it calls the other stored procedure passing it the parameters of memberID and roleID.
Now comming back to the COMMIT TRANSACTION and ROLLBACK TRANSACTION. If a ROLLBACK TRANSACTION is done now after this call, will it go and remove that record as well (which was inserted from the call to the "outside" stored procedure)?

i think Colin is the best one to answer SQL questions over CodeProject, but i can give it a try 
transactions can be seen for what you write on the database as an atomic statement. this means that when you begin a transaction, everything you write inside the transaction is actually buffered. when you commit the transaction, the database is physically altered by writing you datas. if you rollback the transaction, everything you did inside the transaction is lost, and the database state (as it was before your transaction) is not modified.
