The given query is in mysql format. I want same query in SQL Server 2008.
CREATE TABLE table1_seq
(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
);
CREATE TABLE table1
(
id VARCHAR(7) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT '0', name VARCHAR(30)
);
Now the trigger
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER tg_table1_insert
BEFORE INSERT ON table1
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO table1_seq VALUES (NULL);
SET NEW.id = CONCAT('LHPL', LPAD(LAST_INSERT_ID(), 3, '0'));
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Then you just insert rows to table1
INSERT INTO Table1 (name)
VALUES ('Jhon'), ('Mark');
And you'll have
| ID | NAME |
------------------
| LHPL001 | Jhon |
| LHPL002 | Mark |
This may answer your question
-- create table with 'ABCD' as prefix, combining with identity column Id
CREATE TABLE dbo.Persons
(
Id int IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL
,PersonId AS ('ABCD' + CONVERT(varchar(20), Id)) PERSISTED NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
,Name varchar(100)
);
GO
-- Do not specify calculated column when insert values into the table
INSERT INTO dbo.Persons (Name)
VALUES ('Person1'), ('Person2'), ('Person3');
GO
-- Display the records from the table
SELECT PersonId, Name
FROM dbo.Persons;
GO
This approach does not require to create a separate table and trigger, therefore efficient.
Hope this helps.
I have table like this
table
id Varchar(45) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
name CHAR(30) NOT NULL,
I want to increment my id field like 'LHPL001','LHPL002','LHPL003'... etc.
What should I have to do for that? Please let me know any possible way.
If you really need this you can achieve your goal with help of separate table for sequencing (if you don't mind) and a trigger.
Tables
CREATE TABLE table1_seq
(
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
);
CREATE TABLE table1
(
id VARCHAR(7) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT '0', name VARCHAR(30)
);
Now the trigger
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER tg_table1_insert
BEFORE INSERT ON table1
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT INTO table1_seq VALUES (NULL);
SET NEW.id = CONCAT('LHPL', LPAD(LAST_INSERT_ID(), 3, '0'));
END$$
DELIMITER ;
Then you just insert rows to table1
INSERT INTO Table1 (name)
VALUES ('Jhon'), ('Mark');
And you'll have
| ID | NAME |
------------------
| LHPL001 | Jhon |
| LHPL002 | Mark |
Here is SQLFiddle demo
Create a table with a normal numeric auto_increment ID, but either define it with ZEROFILL, or use LPAD to add zeroes when selecting. Then CONCAT the values to get your intended behavior. Example #1:
create table so (
id int(3) unsigned zerofill not null auto_increment primary key,
name varchar(30) not null
);
insert into so set name = 'John';
insert into so set name = 'Mark';
select concat('LHPL', id) as id, name from so;
+---------+------+
| id | name |
+---------+------+
| LHPL001 | John |
| LHPL002 | Mark |
+---------+------+
Example #2:
create table so (
id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
name varchar(30) not null
);
insert into so set name = 'John';
insert into so set name = 'Mark';
select concat('LHPL', LPAD(id, 3, 0)) as id, name from so;
+---------+------+
| id | name |
+---------+------+
| LHPL001 | John |
| LHPL002 | Mark |
+---------+------+
I know it is late but I just want to share on what I have done for this. I'm not allowed to add another table or trigger so I need to generate it in a single query upon insert. For your case, can you try this query.
CREATE TABLE YOURTABLE(
IDNUMBER VARCHAR(7) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
ENAME VARCHAR(30) not null
);
Perform a select and use this select query and save to the parameter #IDNUMBER
(SELECT IFNULL
(CONCAT('LHPL',LPAD(
(SUBSTRING_INDEX
(MAX(`IDNUMBER`), 'LHPL',-1) + 1), 5, '0')), 'LHPL001')
AS 'IDNUMBER' FROM YOURTABLE ORDER BY `IDNUMBER` ASC)
And then Insert query will be :
INSERT INTO YOURTABLE(IDNUMBER, ENAME) VALUES
(#IDNUMBER, 'EMPLOYEE NAME');
The result will be the same as the other answer but the difference is, you will not need to create another table or trigger. I hope that I can help someone that have a same case as mine.
Here is PostgreSQL example without trigger if someone need it on PostgreSQL:
CREATE SEQUENCE messages_seq;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS messages (
id CHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT ('message_' || nextval('messages_seq')),
name CHAR(30) NOT NULL,
);
ALTER SEQUENCE messages_seq OWNED BY messages.id;
I have a MySQL table with two fields as primary key (ID & Account), ID has AUTO_INCREMENT.
This results in the following MySQL table:
ID | Account
------------------
1 | 1
2 | 1
3 | 2
4 | 3
However, I expected the following result (restart AUTO_INCREMENT for each Account):
ID | Account
------------------
1 | 1
2 | 1
1 | 2
1 | 3
What is wrong in my configuration? How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Functionality you're describing is possible only with MyISAM engine. You need to specify the CREATE TABLE statement like this:
CREATE TABLE your_table (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
account_id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(account_id, id)
) ENGINE = MyISAM;
If you use an innoDB engine, you can use a trigger like this:
CREATE TRIGGER `your_table_before_ins_trig` BEFORE INSERT ON `your_table`
FOR EACH ROW
begin
declare next_id int unsigned default 1;
-- get the next ID for your Account Number
select max(ID) + 1 into next_id from your_table where Account = new.Account;
-- if there is no Account number yet, set the ID to 1 by default
IF next_id IS NULL THEN SET next_id = 1; END IF;
set new.ID= next_id;
end#
Note ! your delimiter column is # in the sql statement above !
This solution works for a table like yours if you create it without any auto_increment functionality like this:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `your_table` (
`ID` int(11) NOT NULL,
`Account` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`,`Account`)
);
Now you can insert your values like this:
INSERT INTO your_table (`Account`) VALUES (1);
INSERT INTO your_table (`Account`, `ID`) VALUES (1, 5);
INSERT INTO your_table (`Account`) VALUES (2);
INSERT INTO your_table (`Account`, `ID`) VALUES (3, 10205);
It will result in this:
ID | Account
------------------
1 | 1
2 | 1
1 | 2
1 | 3
This question already has answers here:
How can I do 'insert if not exists' in MySQL?
(11 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I am trying to execute the following query:
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
VALUES ('Rupert', 'Somewhere', '022')
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT name FROM table_listnames WHERE name='value'
);
But this returns an error. Basically I don't want to insert a record if the 'name' field of the record already exists in another record - how to check if the new name is unique?
I'm not actually suggesting that you do this, as the UNIQUE index as suggested by Piskvor and others is a far better way to do it, but you can actually do what you were attempting:
CREATE TABLE `table_listnames` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`address` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`tele` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
Insert a record:
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'Rupert', 'Somewhere', '022') AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT name FROM table_listnames WHERE name = 'Rupert'
) LIMIT 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 1 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
SELECT * FROM `table_listnames`;
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| id | name | address | tele |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| 1 | Rupert | Somewhere | 022 |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
Try to insert the same record again:
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'Rupert', 'Somewhere', '022') AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT name FROM table_listnames WHERE name = 'Rupert'
) LIMIT 1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 0 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| id | name | address | tele |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| 1 | Rupert | Somewhere | 022 |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
Insert a different record:
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'John', 'Doe', '022') AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT name FROM table_listnames WHERE name = 'John'
) LIMIT 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 1 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
SELECT * FROM `table_listnames`;
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| id | name | address | tele |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
| 1 | Rupert | Somewhere | 022 |
| 2 | John | Doe | 022 |
+----+--------+-----------+------+
And so on...
Update:
To prevent #1060 - Duplicate column name error in case two values may equal, you must name the columns of the inner SELECT:
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'Unknown' AS name, 'Unknown' AS address, '022' AS tele) AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT name FROM table_listnames WHERE name = 'Rupert'
) LIMIT 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 1 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0
SELECT * FROM `table_listnames`;
+----+---------+-----------+------+
| id | name | address | tele |
+----+---------+-----------+------+
| 1 | Rupert | Somewhere | 022 |
| 2 | John | Doe | 022 |
| 3 | Unknown | Unknown | 022 |
+----+---------+-----------+------+
INSERT doesn't allow WHERE in the syntax.
What you can do: create a UNIQUE INDEX on the field which should be unique (name), then use either:
normal INSERT (and handle the error if the name already exists)
INSERT IGNORE (which will fail silently cause a warning (instead of error) if name already exists)
INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE (which will execute the UPDATE at the end if name already exists, see documentation)
Worked :
INSERT INTO users (full_name, login, password)
SELECT 'Mahbub Tito','tito',SHA1('12345') FROM DUAL
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT login FROM users WHERE login='tito');
MySQL provides a very cute solution :
REPLACE INTO `table` VALUES (5, 'John', 'Doe', SHA1('password'));
Very easy to use since you have declared a unique primary key (here with value 5).
INSERT IGNORE INTO `mytable`
SET `field0` = '2',
`field1` = 12345,
`field2` = 12678;
Here the mysql query, that insert records if not exist and will ignore existing similar records.
----Untested----
You can easily use the following way :
INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ...
In this way, you can insert any new raw and if you have duplicate data, replace a specific column ( The best columns are timestamps ).
For example :
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Devices (
id INT(6) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
unique_id VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
created_at VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY unique_id (unique_id),
UNIQUE KEY id (id)
)
CHARACTER SET utf8
COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
INSERT INTO Devices(unique_id, time)
VALUES('$device_id', '$current_time')
ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE time = '$current_time';
To overcome a similar problem, I have modified the table to have a unique column. Using your example, on creation I would have something like:
name VARCHAR(20),
UNIQUE (name)
and then use the following query when inserting into it:
INSERT IGNORE INTO train
set table_listnames='Rupert'
If you really can't get a unique index on the table, you could try...
INSERT INTO table_listnames (name, address, tele)
SELECT 'Rupert', 'Somewhere', '022'
FROM some_other_table
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT name
FROM table_listnames
WHERE name='Rupert')
LIMIT 1;
This query works well:
INSERT INTO `user` ( `username` , `password` )
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'ersks', md5( 'Nepal' )) AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT `username` FROM `user` WHERE `username` = 'ersks'
AND `password` = md5( 'Nepal' )) LIMIT 1
And you can create the table using following query:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `user` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`username` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
`status` tinyint(1) DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
Note: Create table using second query before trying to use first query.
Brian Hooper :
You almost hit the point but you have an error in your synatx. Your insert will never work. I tested on my database and here is the right answer:
INSERT INTO podatki (datum,ura,meritev1,meritev1_sunki,impulzi1,meritev2,meritev2_sunki,impulzi2)
SELECT '$datum', '$ura', '$meritve1','$sunki1','$impulzi1','$meritve2','$sunki2','$impulzi2'
FROM dual
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT datum,ura
FROM podatki
WHERE datum='$datum' and ura='$ura'
I'm giving you my example of y table. Insert is almost the same like Bian Hooper wrote, except that I put the select FROM DUAL ont from other table.
Cind regards, Ivan
This is not an answer, it's just a note. The query like the one in the accepted answer does not work if the inserted values are duplicates, like here:
INSERT INTO `addr` (`email`, `name`)
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'user#domain.tld', 'user#domain.tld') AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT `email` FROM `addr` WHERE `email` LIKE 'user#domain.tld'
);
Error
SQL query: Copy Documentation
MySQL said: Documentation
#1060 - Duplicate column name 'user#domain.tld'
In the contrary, the query like the one from Mahbub Tito's answer works fine:
INSERT INTO `addr` (`email`, `name`)
SELECT 'user#domain.tld', 'user#domain.tld'
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT `email` FROM `addr` WHERE `email` LIKE 'user#domain.tld'
);
1 row inserted.
Tested in MariaDB
insert into customer_keyskill(customerID, keySkillID)
select 2,1 from dual
where not exists (
select customerID from customer_keyskill
where customerID = 2
and keySkillID = 1 )
You are inserting not Updating the result.
You can define the name column in primary column or set it is unique.
I had a problem, and the method Mike advised worked partly, I had an error Dublicate Column name = '0', and changed the syntax of your query as this`
$tQ = "INSERT INTO names (name_id, surname_id, sum, sum2, sum3,sum4,sum5)
SELECT '$name', '$surname', '$sum', '$sum2', '$sum3','$sum4','$sum5'
FROM DUAL
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT sum FROM names WHERE name_id = '$name'
AND surname_id = '$surname') LIMIT 1;";
The problem was with column names. sum3 was equal to sum4 and mysql throwed dublicate column names, and I wrote the code in this syntax and it worked perfectly,
I had a similar problem and I needed to insert multiple if not existing. So from the examples above I came to this combination... it's here just in case somebody would need it.
Notice:
I had to define name everywhere as MSSQL required it... MySQL works with * too.
INSERT INTO names (name)
SELECT name
FROM
(
SELECT name
FROM
(
SELECT 'Test 4' as name
) AS tmp_single
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT name FROM names WHERE name = 'Test 4'
)
UNION ALL
SELECT name
FROM
(
SELECT 'Test 5' as name
) AS tmp_single
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT name FROM names WHERE name = 'Test 5'
)
) tmp_all;
MySQL:
CREATE TABLE names (
OID int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
name varchar(32) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (OID),
UNIQUE KEY name_UNIQUE (name)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
or
MSSQL:
CREATE TABLE [names] (
[OID] INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
[name] NVARCHAR (32) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([OID] ASC)
);
CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [Index_Names_Name] ON [names]([name] ASC);
This query can be used in PHP code.
I have an ID column in this table, so I need check for duplication for all columns except this ID column:
#need to change values
SET #goodsType = 1, #sybType=5, #deviceId = asdf12345SDFasdf2345;
INSERT INTO `devices` (`goodsTypeId`, `goodsId`, `deviceId`) #need to change tablename and columnsnames
SELECT * FROM (SELECT #goodsType, #sybType, #deviceId) AS tmp
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT 'goodsTypeId' FROM `devices` #need to change tablename and columns names
WHERE `goodsTypeId` = #goodsType
AND `goodsId` = #sybType
AND `deviceId` = #deviceId
) LIMIT 1;
and now new item will be added only in case of there is not exist row with values configured in SET string
