Auto Generated Primary Key Sql Example
Hi Manish,
try like this sample,
Personal detail:
create table personaldetail(id bigint identity primary key,pid nvarchar(20) unique,name nvarchar(25),addres nvarchar(100))
Occupation:
create table occupation(id bigint identity primary key,pid nvarchar(20) references personaldetail(pid),occupation nvarchar(25),dept nvarchar(25))
then generate the pid at code behind like,
public string generate_ID(){
int id=0;
string pid;
Sql Primary Key Name
string pidquery = 'select top 1 SUBSTRING(pid,4,len(piid))as pid from personal detail order by pid desc';
// here 4 char denotes number after prefix string('HUA')
SqlCommand scmd = new SqlCommand(pidquery, con);
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(pidquery, con);
DataTable restable = new DataTable();
adapter.Fill(restable);
if (restable.Rows.Count > 0)
{
SqlDataReader reader = scmd.ExecuteReader();
reader.Read();
id= Convert.ToInt32(reader['pid']);
id= id+ 1;
pid = 'HUA' + Convert.ToString(id);
}
else // its for if no data in db
{
id= 1;
pid = 'HUA' + Convert.ToString(jid);
}
return pid;
}
after got id:
insert into both tables like:
1. insert into personaldetail('+pid+','+name+','+addr+')
2.insert into occupation('+pid+','+occupation+','+dept+')
please let me know the status..
Thank you,
