sql - Adding an identity to an existing column -

-

I need to change the primary key of a table into an identity column, and there are already several rows in the table < / P>

I have got a script to clear the ID to ensure that they are starting sequentially on 1, works fine on my test database

What is the SQL command to retain the identity property of the column?

You have 2 options,

    < Li>

    Create a new table with identification; Current table drop

  1. create a new column with the ID; Existing column drop

approach 1. ( new table ) Here you can maintain existing data values ​​on newly created identity columns.

go to identity_insert dbo.Tmp_Names

prefix ID (id not integer not recognize NULL (1, 1), name varchar (50) zero) [primary] if exists ( Select * dbo.names from dbo.Tmp_Names (numbers, names), select the name dbo.Names go from TABLOCKX to go to identity_insert dbo.Tmp_Names go off the drop table dbo.Names Exec sp_rename go to 'Tmp_Names',' Name '

approach2 ( new column ) You can not have existing data values ​​on the newly created identity column, the Identity column number Region sequence will catch on. 

  Alter table name Id_new int identity added (1, 1) Get Alter table name drop column ID Go Exec sp_rename 'Names.Id_new', 'id', 'column'  < / Pre>

Visual Studio 2005: How to speed up builds when a VSMDI is open? -

-
Using Visual Studio 2005, if I open the test in VSMFI and try to run the tests, then sometimes the projects are ready. However, they run very slow. CPU 99% waste and output window VS Shows things associated with compiling it. Is there any way to fix this? It does not make any sense. It is not necessary to upgrade that we are a viable alternative to those people who have to deal with the legacy code. Did you try to upgrade SP1? I do not know of any specific problem in this area, but this will be the first change I tried to do.

booting ubuntu from usb using virtualbox -

I am trying to install Ubuntu on a USB, the problem is that I do not want to repeat the boot once, I want to keep my windows, but I want to boot Ubuntu using the virtualbox and USB to the Ubuntu Want to use my hard drive, but how? The virtualbox will not recognize USB as a hard drive when installing an ISO In virtualbox, you have to create a virtual hard disk. Make a USB drive and tell the virtual box to install a virtual hard drive that you just created. EDIT: To answer some more questions: In the new Virtual Disk dialog, click the button next to the location field, click on the button Virtual Disk on Flash Drive To access, click the arrow next to Save in the Select File in the window next to Save In, and you can access your flash drive from there. I recommend setting the image to be allocated dynamically, because the size of your flash drive is not available disk space. I name the image, then select that image to install Ubuntu in the Verbill box. The virtualbox will never...
