I'm using TopLink as my ORM and MySQL as the DB. I traded my auto-increment primary keys for GUIDs for one of my tables (alright, not quite: I'm actually using a random 64 bit integer, but that's good enough for my needs). Anyway, now queries, which don't even use the key, are taking much longer. What can I do? ...
I have a MS SQL table that I don't have any control over and I need to write to. This table has a int primary key that isn't automatically incremented. I can't use stored procs and I would like to use Linq to SQL since it makes other processing very easy. My current solution is to read the last value, increment it, try to use it, if I g...
Hello, I've deleted some records from a table in a Sql Server db. Now the Ids go from 101 to 1200. I want to delete the records again, but I want the id's to go back to 102. Is there a way to do this in Sql Server? ...
I have a table in SQLite: CREATE TABLE "EventType" ( [EventTypeID] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, [EventTypeName] VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL UNIQUE ); Since EventTypeID is an integer and a primary key, that automatically makes it an auto-incrementing column, and that works fine. I'd like to insert a row into the table and get the newly incremented...
Hi guys I need, if possible, a t-sql query that, returning the values from an arbitrary table, also returns a incremental integer column with value = 1 for the first row, 2 for the second, and so on. This column does not actually resides in any table, and must be strictly incremental, because the ORDER BY clause could sort the rows of ...

Webkit (on iPhone and Safari, at least) supports HTML5's database storage via SQLite. I'm trying to figure out how best to get the insert ID (there's an autoincrement field 'id' in the database) for the following transaction. db.transaction(function(tx) { tx.executeSql("INSERT INTO teams (name) VALUES (?)", [$('#team_name').val()]); ...
I'm aware of IDENTITY fields but I have a feeling that I couldn't use one to solve my problem. Let's say I have multiple clients. Each client has multiple orders. Each client needs to have their orders numbered sequentially, specific to them. Example table structure: Orders: OrderID | ClientID | ClientOrderID | etc... Some example...
Hi, I've got a strange situation with some tables in my database starting its IDs from 0, even though TABLE CREATE has IDENTITY(1,1). This is so for some tables, but not for others. It has worked until today. I've tried resetting identity column: DBCC CHECKIDENT (SyncSession, reseed, 0); But new records start with 0. I have tried doi...
I need to import data from Excel into a SQL 2000 db. I need to import 6 fields from the worksheet and increment a string field containing an integer padded to 5 characters with leading zeros. This field is not the primary key and the db does not automatically populate this. Also the DB will allow this field to be entered as NULL if this...
For a particular table, I have my ID field set to AutoNumber (Increment). If I add 5 rows to this table in quick succession, is each guaranteed to have a larger ID than the last? For instance, does autonumbering ever restart from 1 if some earlier values have been deleted? ...
I'm switching from MySQL to PostgreSQL and was wondering how I can do autoincrement values. I saw in the PostgreSQL docs a datatype "serial", but I get syntax errors when using it (in v8.0). ...

I'm inserting into an SQLServer table with an autoincrementing key field. (I believe this is called an IDENTITY column in SQLServer.) In Oracle, I can use the RETURNING keyword to give my INSERT statement a results set like a SELECT query that will return the generated value: INSERT INTO table (foreign_key1, value) VALUES (9, 'text') ...
Hi everyone! I have a simple "Invoices" class with a "Number" attribute that has to be assigned by the application when the user saves an invoice. There are some constraints: 1) the application is a (thin) client-server one, so whatever assigns the number must look out for collisions 2) Invoices has a "version" attribute too, so I can't...
