1 insert every 15 seconds for 5 years = 691,00010 million (ID-10-T error) records so it isn't that large of a table. Append an autonumber, make the autonumber the primary key and add an index on the date field. It will take less time to implement the solution than to argue the merits of either case.

yeah thats what I said. I told them to change it to an ID field and they told me that wouldn't make it unique.
I give up

Some people are stupid beyond help. For your situation try writing a before trigger that does a loop that expires 15 seconds before allowing an insert. That will eliminate the problem. Heavily comment why you did it so you will not be made fun of years from know when someone reads it.

It says a primary key violation. The only different field is the DateTime value. And the date time milli seconds are different

Whilst I agree with the other guys that datetime fields are not ideal for a PK, they should be able to provide what you need under the circumstances described. I have a few questions that may help clarify/resolve the issue.
Has it only just started happening as you say that the code is 5 years old?
Does it always cause a PK violation?
Are you only inserting into 1 table?
Are all of the datetime values obtained from the same source?
Is the datetime value different for each insert?

Well it appears that on the development server the primary key exists, but on the rest of the servers(staging, QA, and production) it has either been deleted or never published. Probably it wasn't working in a roll-out and never got put back in.
i.j.russell wrote: Does it always cause a PK violation?
Always. They have managed to get the row inserted with the violation. Since The stored procedure calls another stored procedure to do the actual insert
i.j.russell wrote: Are you only inserting into 1 table?
Yes
i.j.russell wrote: Are all of the datetime values obtained from the same source?
Yes, there is a GetDate() inside the insert statement.
i.j.russell wrote: Is the datetime value different for each insert?
We have waited from 15 seconds to a few minutes and we always get the issue.
I realize, like everyone else, that this isn't advisable but this method seems to be carved in stone. Since I recommend an int column and they tell me that can't be the problem. If the world was a best case scenario, we probably wouldn't have a job to go to.
If you can tell me why this is bugging out when I'm not violating the date millisecond issue.
The PK is has 7 columns in it. Each isd an int field and thier exactly the same except for the GetDate() column, which is at the end

Well I thank you for trying to help.
The problem actually was that we had bad test data. It tried to update many rows and couldn't and somehow forced at PK issue.
Odd.
It works fine now. And they seems to think its okay to keep it datetime. I guess once a customer calls in they will want to change it.
Thanks.

create table MyTable
(
MyCol datetime
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
)
insert into MyTable (MyCol) values ('2006-08-17 15:36:13.779')
The value is rounded to '2006-08-17 15:36:13.780'
insert into MyTable (MyCol) values ('2006-08-17 15:36:13.781')
the value is rounded to '2006-08-17 15:36:13.780'
Strange...not sure why this is. No time to research right now. But, this may be what is causing the primary key violation.

yeah every 3 milliseconds is treated as the same number.

I want to get the rows having non-repeated values.
E.g if we have 4 rows having data
12
9
13
12
then result set should be 9 and 13.

Hi there,
I need to read data from a excel spreadsheet, show on a webpage and insert into a sql server 2005 database. Need to do it in asp.net 2.0, using ado.net and VB(or C# samples will also help).
Can anyone point me to the right place?

Do you have a standard format for the spreadsheet you are reading? If so you can execute a SQL DTS package and read the data via ado.net.

Hi,
Is it possible to connect to a MySQL databse with c# asp.net without having to install anything extra to mysql?
I think MySQLDirect.NET is what im looking for but its not free, is there a free alternative to this? I don't need all the bells and whistles just something that I can use to connect with, do lookups and send commands.
Basically I just want to access the database using built in fuction of .net if possible, or if not some class that I could include, as i don't have direct access to the server it will be on so won't be able to install extras.
Hope that makes sence
Thanks in advance

u can download mysql.net connector from mysql.com. after that add its reference to yr project. then u can use it as u use SqlClient or OracleClient namespaces.

Try this for your connection string:
string conString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DataSource=C:\myDB.mdb;"

Your tables are:
Employer
--------
IdEmployer
Name
CustomerEmployer
----------------
IdEmployer
IdCustomer
This describes two thirds of a many-to-many join. The missing information is likely to be
Customer
--------
IdCustomer
{other columns}
papa80 wrote: SO my question is please give me query who give it to me employer.name with max customet how to do that???
What do you mean by max customer? What is a max customer? What defines the customer as being the max?
If you mean the MAX(IdCustomer) then:
SELECT Employer.Name
FROM Employer
INNER JOIN CustomerEmployer ON CustomerEmployer.IdEmployer = Employer.IdEmployer
WHERE IdCustomer = (SELECT MAX(IdCustomer) FROM CustomerEmployer)

is my bad.Ok i need to show employer.name with max number of customeres do you know how will look now that query???
