Cannot Insert Duplicate Key Row In Object 'MSmerge_genhistory' With Unique Index 'unc1MSmerge_genhistory'
Feb 28, 2007
I have 1 client who keeps running into the following error on the subscriber and merge agents >
€œCannot insert duplicate key row in object 'MSmerge_genhistory' with unique index 'unc1MSmerge_genhistory'.€?
Last time we got this error I ran a reindex on table MSmerge_genhistory on the publisher database, I then successfully generated a new snapshot and the subscribers started to synchronize again. This time around I keep getting the error even after I follow these steps (I also ran all the jobs to clean up replication). The last time I ran into this error I created a job to reindex msmerge_genhistory on a nightly bases in an effort to avoid this problem. Can somebody please provide me with a workaround and also the reason why this error occurs in the first place.
Thank you in advanced,

Hi.
I have been recently redesigning my tables - creating FK
relationships from child tables to the PK userid in the Users table.
The specifics of what I did and why can be seen here:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1968856&SiteID=1
But, now I am getting the below error:
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.lastlogin' with unique index 'IX_lastlogin'.
The statement has been terminated.
Or, for that matter, SavedSearches or any other table where I need to
insert the same userid twice. I can see why I would want to avoid duplicates in the Users table. But, for lastlogin, savedsearches, and
a few of my other tables, the same user may account for multiple rows.
Any suggestions as to where I messed up and how to deal with this?
Thanks.

We are developing a project that is expected to hold TB of data and the back end used is SQL Server 2005.
I have the following problem
I have applied Nonclustered index over a column on a table.
Designed a SP for insertion which caters for updation incase the criteria based on the input is met.
The logic goes like this
Incase there exists a row containing the value of the column that is indexed for uniqueness, there should be updation. If not there should be a new row created.
However often there is an error message that is placed above. This happens only on some of the SPs and only on rare occasions.
Can any body tell me if there is any problem with the SQL Server 2005
Thanks in advance

I have an issue where I am getting an error on an unique index.
I know why I am getting the error but not sure how to get around it.
The query does a check on whether a unique value exists in the Insert/Select. If I run it one record at a time (SELECT TOP 1...) it works fine and just won't update it if the record exists.
But if I do it in a batch, I get the error. I assume this is because it does the checking on the file before records are written out and then writes out the records one at a time from a temporary table.
It thinks all the records are unique because it compares the records one at a time to the original table (where there would be no duplicates). But it doesn't check the records against each other. Then when it actually writes out the record, the duplicate is there.
How do I do a batch where the Insert/Select would write out the records without the duplicates as it does when I do it one record at a time.
CREATE TABLE #TestTable
(
Name varchar(50),
Email varchar (40)
)
Insert #TestTable (Name,Email) Values('Tom', 'tom@aol.com')

We are running the following query, which has a unique index on Table_2 (col1 and sys1), and Column col1 from Table_1 is unique.
select top 100 s.*, x.col1
from Table_1 s
left outer join Table_2 x
on x.col1 = s.col1 and x.sys1 = 'SYSTEM0'
Unfortunately this query returns duplicate rows. And every time the result is different
But once we dbcc dbreindex the unique index on Table_2, the result will not have any dups.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I have a look up table with old data, which i need to truncate and load with the new set of data, however when loading I'm getting the following error
[OLE DB Destination [32]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred.
Error code: 0x80004005.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0" Hresult: 0x80004005Â
Description: "Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.CaseType' with unique index 'idx_CaseType'. The duplicate key value is (49, AH).".
I know , what it means that since CaseType column has a unique index we cannot insert duplicate key, but in real world the scenarios are different , the record in question is as follows: so what is the workaround in this kind of scenario other than making it Non-unique Index?
CaseTypeID CountyID CaseCategory CaseTypeCode CaseTypeName

Hi there ...here comes a tricky one.
I have a database table which needs to make the Index "ParentREF, UniqueName" unique - but this fails because duplicate keys are found. Thus I now need to cleanup these duplicate rows - but I cannot just delete the duplicates, because they might have rows in detail tables.
This means that all duplicate rows needs an update on the "UniqueName" value - but not the first (valid) one!
I can find those rows by
SELECT OID, UniqueName, ParentREF, CreatedUTC, ModifiedUTC FROM dbo.CmsContent AS table0
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT OID, UniqueName, ParentREF FROM dbo.CmsContent AS table1
WHERE table0.ParentREF = table1.ParentREF
AND table0.UniqueName = table1.UniqueName
AND table0.OID != table1.OID
)
ORDER BY ParentREF, UniqueName, ModifiedUTC desc
...but I struggle to make the required SQL (SP?) to update the "invalid" rows.
Note: the "valid" row is the one with the newest ModifiedUTC value - this row must kept unchanged!
ATM the preferred (cause easiest) way is to rename the invalid rows with
UniqueName = OID
because if I use any other name I risk to create another double entry.
Thanks in advance to whoever can help me

The following quote is the exact error message that I get when I attempt to create a pull subscription. The STAppointment is one of a 15 databases that need to replicate inorder for the application SalonTouch to run properly.
What is causing this error? Is it user rights? Is it a problem with sql2005? Am I missing a step? Is there a problem with the database I am working with? What else?

I'm using SSRS 2005 on a Server 2003 machine.
Some of my reports run fine but others take a long time to run and sometimes fail with an http error 503.
After a report errror happens I find entries in the event log that says: cannot open a connection to the report server
When I look at the log files for Reporting services I see an error caused by a primary key violation on the Running Jobs Table:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_RunningJobs'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.RunningJobs'
Does anyone know why do I get such errors?

We continue to recieve he following error on our RS 2005 SP1 Reporting Services installation:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_RunningJobs'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.RunningJobs'
This causes our server to become unresponsive and some reports to not render, Its becoming quite common. We reset IIS to correct it but is causes a service interuption. I know that it had been talked about before as something that may be fixed in SP2. But I do not see this referenced.
Does anybody know of any fix for this?
Thanks

I get this message when doing an insert into :
Msg 2601, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.ElementLocalCharacterised' with unique index 'ElementLocalCharacterised_uq'.
The statement has been terminated.
Now my question is : does this error mean that all inserts are done, despite those where the unique key produced a conflict? Or does it mean that none of the inserts are done (all are rejected because at least one gave a conflict) ?
If the second is the case I would like to know if it is possible to execute the insert into in a way that all inserts are done despite those that raise a conflict?
Thanks a lot for any suggestion !

One of my database transaction log backup jobs failed this morning, although the log backup was still taken, the job reported failure. The job has run successfully a number of times since. The job reported a primary key violation error on the msdb.dbo.backupmediaset table. The full error message was
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__backupme__DAC69E4D599F1693'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.backupmediaset'. The duplicate key value is (401862).
Msg 3009, Level 16, State 1, Server myservername, Line 1
Could not insert a backup or restore history/detail record in the msdb database. This may indicate a problem with the msdb database. The backup/restore operation was still successful.
After investigating the backupset and backupmediaset tables in msdb I can see that value used for the failed insert was used previously for the last database log backup in the previous log backup run. The failure was reported for the first database log backup attempted. The SQL Log shows an entry for the log being backed up successfully.
I have checked the identify value in the backupmediaset table using DBCC CHECKIDENT and all looks OK.
DBCC CHECKIDENT ('backupmediaset',NORESEED)
Is there anything else I need to check?

Hi,
I am making a program in Visual Basic .NET with SQL Server 2000.
I have a table "MyTable" with a primary key named "Id". The primary key is 'Create Unique' checked and 'Index' selected. When I insert all the fields required, except "Id" of course, I need the new record's "Id" in my VisualBasic program, but I don't know how...
I must do one of them, but don't know how either of them:
-Create a trigger on insertion that will send to the user that sended the insert command the "Id" of the record just created.
or
-get the command in Visual Basic that will send the Insert command with a return field ("Id")
Thanks in advance,

All,Just want to make sure that I understand what's going on here.I have a table with IGNORE_DUP_KEY set on a unique, multi-columnindex.What I'm seeing is this:1) When performing a BULK INSERT, the UNIQUE index is not beingrespected and rows which violate the unique index are inserted.2) When performing a regular INSERT, the UNIQUE index is beingrespected and rows which violate the unique index ARE NOT inserted.Is this expected behavior.Also, I have some questions, given the index described.Q1) Will a regular INSERT that attempts to insert duplicate data getan error back or just a warning?Q2) How can I set things up so that a BULK INSERT would NOT allowduplicates to be entered into the table?Thanks,Wes Gamble

I have table variable in which I am inserting data from sql server database. I have made one of the columns called repaidID a primary key so that a clustered index will be created on the table variable. When I run the stored procedure used to insert the data. I have this error message; Violation of Primary key Constraint. Cannot insert duplicate primary key in object. The value that is causing this error is (128503).
I have queried the repaidid 128503 in the database to see if it is a duplicate but could not find any duplicate. The repaidID is a unique id normally use by my company and does not have duplicates.

Hello Everyone:
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 12
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I have duplicated this error with the following script:
USE [testing]
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users1]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users2]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users2] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
IF OBJECT_ID ('[testing].[dbo].[users3]', 'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users3] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,
[Name] nvarchar(25) NULL,
CONSTRAINT [UserID] PRIMARY KEY (UserID)
)
I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
How do I fix this?
TIA

A UNIQUE INDEX must inherently impose a unique constraint and a UNIQUE CONSTRAINT is most likely implemented via a UNIQUE INDEX. So what is the difference? When you create in Enterprise Manager you must select one or the other.

Hi everyone,
I need urgent help to resolve this issue...
As far as the performance goes which one is better..
Unique Index(col1, col2) OR Unique constraint(col1, col2) ?
Unique constraint automatically adds a unique index
and unique index takes care of uniqueness then whats the use of unique constraint ?
Which one do one use ?
thanks

if you just want a list of all rows with duplicate zipcodes then ...
SELECT * FROM TableName WHERE zip IN ( SELECT zip FROM TableName
GROUP BY zip HAVING COUNT(*)>1 )

Duncan, I tried this but it does not return one row per key.

I just converted an old non-relational database into something that MS SQL likes. The old primary keys were broken up into two columns, one being useful. The column I need to use has some rows with the same values in them.
I am looking for some way in a SQL script to look for the duplicate rows and add "_X" to the data where X is a value incremented by 1 for each duplicate row found.
For example, 3 duplicate rows with "5443aa" would return "5443aa", "5443aa_1","5443aa_2".
Any ideas?
