Home Forums SQL Server 2008 SQL Server Newbies Setting a Primary key to subsequential Data (Header - Line) RE: Setting a Primary key to subsequential Data (Header - Line)

  • Are you reading this data in from a file? If so, then this is not a big deal at all. The biggest challenge is that if this data is already in SQL there is nothing use as an order by. If it is however in a file then the file IS the order. Will be interested to see what you post. I won't be on much, if at all, over the weekend.
