I have a table in which a non-primary key column has a unique index on it. If I am inserting a record into this table with a duplicate column value for the indexed column, then what will be the error number of the error in above scenario? OR How could I find this out?
Hi, I am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time. thanks. varun
I have a table with an Identity Column set up. I also have an index on the table that is set to Ignore Duplicate. Identity starts at 1 and is incremented by 1.
So first 5 rows inserted get identity
1
2
3
4
5
If I insert rows that get ignored because of the index with Ignore Duplicate, it is ignored correctly. But, the next row to get inserted will have an identity value of 7.
So, even though the insert was ignored because of the index with Ignore Duplicate, the Identity column was incremented behind the scenes.
I have migrated my application from Access to sql 2005 express. In access autonumber (identity) field was random number.
fter conversion now i want identity field to be "increment". management studio does nt allow. I have created a new database with increment identity column but during importing data using insert into statement it give error
Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF
INSERT Table1 (UserName, Description) SELECT * FROM TABLE2
results in the error erver: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 2 Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Id', table 'CDS_Live.dbo.Table1'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
I was under the impression that an identity column would be automatically inserted by SQL server. Now I know I could write a piece of anonymous Transact SQL which declares a cursor by selecting all rows from table 2 and inserting rows into table 1 on a row by row basis, but is there any way I could do the Insert with a single INSERT statement?
I have table called Product with seven columns all of nvarchar type. There are 150,000 records in this table. Also there's no unique identifier column in this table. I want to put a column lets say Column1 which start from 1 to 150000. The Column1 should be a unique column.
Would like to have Identity Inserted wrt a date column Eg: ProdDate ID Details ============================ 2008.04.01 1 afafafaf 2008.04.01 2 GAFSGHFGF 2008.04.02 1 GAGJAGSDH 2008.04.02 2 QYTYTT 2008.04.03 3 QYTWRRT
At present it is not an Auto increment , I check for the Maximum ID and add One to the next Inserted record. Is there any simpler method?
I am doing a left join insert from two tables, and i know my ID is the Indentity column. I am doing something wrong and it has to do with the identity issue. I have set the identity to on, b/c i currently have data in the table (tblProduct) and I am inserting all the records not in that field from a table named Complete_Products. Can someone please examine this query and tell me what I am doing wrong? I think I need to set a start value for the identity but not totally confident on how to do that.
Thanks. Below is my query with error.
Set Identity_Insert tblProduct on INSERT INTO tblProduct (productCode, productName, productNavID, CanBeMounted, productRetailPrice, productHeight, productWidth, Rank, CanBeFramed, ProductType) SELECT Complete_products.APNum, Complete_products.Title, Complete_products.CategoryID, Complete_products.Mountable, Complete_products.price, Complete_products.Height, Complete_products.Width, Complete_products.IRank, Complete_products.frameable, Complete_products.Typ FROM Complete_products LEFT OUTER JOIN tblProduct AS tblProduct_1 ON Complete_products.APNum = tblProduct_1.productCode where tblProduct_1.productCode IS NULL
Msg 545, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 Explicit value must be specified for identity column in table 'tblProduct' either when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to ON or when a replication user is inserting into a NOT FOR REPLICATION identity column.
I need to import some data into a table that is in a merge bi-directional publication. The table has an identity column that is being "auto managed". The ID numbers I need to import are not within any of the assigned "ranges". They are less than any of the current ranges.
Turning ident_insert on does not work because of the check constraints error. The merge replication triggers validate the ID range as well.
Edit: using SQL 2005 standard publisher and subsciber. Publication is 2005.
I'm a bit new to SQL Server, but here is the problem I am trying to getaround:1. I have lets say an Employee table where the emp_id is an identitycolumn that is auto assigned by the db.2. I wish to insert values into the tables, but sometimes I may wish touse the value of the emp_id that i supply while inserting (andsometimes not).Is there any way in MS SQL to do this? For e.g. is it setup like aconstraint that I can temporarily drop. I do not want to alter thetable, so that option is ruled out.Any other ways to do this (I know bcp is one of them that allows me todo this, but looking for ways in the db itself using SQL if possible)Thanks,Bharat
HI,I have an SQL Server table with only 1 column. That column is anidentity column. How can I insert a row in this table using SQLsyntax?I tried insertinto T_tableName () values ()and a few other options, but I can't seem to get it to insert.ThanksAlain
I have an issue with a stored procedure activation on a service broker queue. The activation stored procedure simply RECEIVES the top message and then INSERTs a row into a table with an identity INT column. Each row inserted has the identity column value incremented by 2 rather than 1. Only one row is inserted in the table.
If the activation is set to OFF and then manually calling the original stored procedure the insert works fine and the identity column value is only incremented by one.
Do you have any suggestions on why the identity column value increments by 2?
I have a table with an Identity column. Is there a way to get the automatically generated primary key after I insert something to the table? If so, what is the syntax?
I have two tables having one row identifier column each of int datatype. Both these columns are part of the respective primary keys. Now as a part of my process, i'm inserting one small part of data from one table to another table. This was working fine but suddenly started getting error like
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_TargetTable'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'DW.TargetTable'. The duplicate key value is (58544748).First I checked with DBCC CHECKIDENT with NORESEED and found that there is difference in the current identity value and current column value. I fixed it by running DBCC CHECKIDENT. But to my surprise again got the same issue. interesting thing is that the error comes after inserting 65466 records.
I have a file I'm trying to do some non-set-based processing with. Inorder to make sure I keep the order of the results, I want to BULKINSERT into a temp table with an identity column. The spec says thatyou should be able to use either KEEPIDENTITY or KEEPNULLS, but I can'tget it to work. For once, I have full code - just add any file of yourchoice that doesn't have commas/tabs. :)Any suggestions, folks?--create table ##Holding_Tank ( full_record varchar(500)) -- thisworkscreate table ##Holding_Tank (id int identity(1,1) primary key,full_record varchar(500)) --that doesn't workBULK INSERT ##Holding_TankFROM "d: elnet_scriptspsaxresult.txt"WITH(TABLOCK,KEEPIDENTITY,KEEPNULLS,MAXERRORS = 0)select * from ##Holding_tank

Hello, I have a problem. I am trying to pull data out of one system and bring it into a SQL Server database for faster retrieval. The original table does not have an identity column and has a composite primary key. The table I am inserting the data into matches the original table exactly except I have an Identity column that I need for the removal of duplicates. The task gets to the final commit and then fails telling me that it can't insert a NULL into an identity field. Why is it trying to insert a NULL, the field should be auto-populating. I did add the Identity field to the table after the SSIS package was already built, but I did go into the destination and fix the column mappings. For the Identity column I just selected the "skip" option or whatever it was. Why are the identities not being auto-inserted and why is SSIS throwing this error?
Hi, I need to insert data into a table using data flow task. Unfortunately this table's priamry key column (integer column) is not identity column. I am looking a way to get the primary key value for the new records. Please advice. Thanks
we are using a custom persistence framework on an SQL Server Compact Edition (3.5) database. It might occur, that a class gets persisted into a table having only a single IDENTITY column. Even worse, there may be additional columns in the database the persistence layer is not aware of. I'm now looking for a way to insert rows into that kind of table without specifying any column values. In SQL-Server 2005 (also Express edition), there is a form
INSERT INTO table DEFAULT VALUES;
which does the job. Unfortunately, this construct doesn't seem to be supported by the Compact Edition.
I am writing an Instead of Insert trigger. I would like to fire an error when inserting into an 'Identity' column. Since UPDATE([ColumnName]) always returns TRUE for insert statements, is there an easy/fast way around this? I don't want to use:
IF(EXISTS(SELECT [i].[AS_ID] FROM [inserted] [i] WHERE [i].[AS_ID] IS NULL)) here is my pseudo-code... CREATE VIEW [org].[Assets] WITH SCHEMABINDING
[Code] .....
-- How does this statement need to be written to throw the error? --UPDATE([AS_ID]) always returns TRUE
IF(UPDATE([AS_ID])) RAISERROR('INSERT into the anchor identity column ''AS_ID'' is not allowed.', 16, 1) WITH NOWAIT;
-- Is there a faster/better method than this? IF(EXISTS(SELECT [i].[AS_ID] FROM [inserted] [i] WHERE [i].[AS_ID] IS NOT NULL)) RAISERROR('INSERT into the anchor identity column ''AS_ID'' is not allowed.', 16, 1) WITH NOWAIT;
-- Do Stuff END;
-- Should error for inserting into [AS_ID] field (which is an identity field) INSERT INTO [org].[Assets]([AS_ID], [Tag], [Name]) VALUES(1, 'f451', 'Paper burns'), (2, 'k505.928', 'Paper burns in Chemistry');
-- No error should occur INSERT INTO [org].[Assets]([Tag], [Name]) VALUES('f451', 'Paper burns'), ('k505.928', 'Paper burns in Chemistry');

How do get the identity column value after insert record.
With SQL Server 2005, its quite easy to get by creating and insert statement on the tabledapter ( Insert statement followed by a select statement where identitycolumn = scope_identity())

I'm just learning SSIS and I've hit my first bump. I am doing a bulk import from a tab delimited text file to an empty sql table that has a Idendity column defined. How do I tell the bulk insert task to skip that column when inserting from the text file. If I remove the identity column it imports the data fine, but I want to create the indentity column in the table too.
Hi All, I have a web form that inserts information into two tables in sql 2005 database on a submit button click. I have a unique key on the tables preventing duplicate information which works fine. The problem I have is that at the minute if a users tries to insert a duplicate row they just get the built in sql error message. Is there a way I can validate the information before if goes into the database and display perhaps a label telling the user of their error or is there a way I can customize the build in sql error message? I've had a search on various forums and sites and can't find any info that would help me. Thanks in advance Dave

Does sql server have a way to handle errors in a sproc which would allowone to insert rows, ignoring rows which would create a duplicate keyviolation? I know if one loops one can handle the error on a row by rowbasis. But is there a way to skip the loop and do it as a bulk insert?It's easy to do in Access, but I'm curious to know if SQL Server propercan handle like this. I am guessing that a looping operation would beslower to execute?
