Cannot Insert Explicit Value For Identity...
Apr 24, 2006
I am developing an integration process between two databases. One of
them is a SQL Server 2000 and the other is using MSDE 2000. The
integration process is done in C# (VS2003).
The main database is the SQL Server, the MSDE will contain a really
small subset of the data found on the main. To help diminish the amount
of time taken to develop an integration process between those
databases, the same structure are found on both side. The only
difference, when I insert data in the MSDE from the SQL Server, I set
the IDENTITY_INSERT to ON and use the same IDs found on the SQL Server.
I can insert one set of data without problem, but from there, if I try
again, I will always receive the "Cannot insert explicit value for
identity column in table ... when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF." I
saw on Microsoft website the article ID 878501; I noticed I was using
MSDE sp3, I upgraded to SP4... and I still have the problem.
I know, when I call the update function on the sqldataadapter, the
adapters contain the IDENTITY_INSERT ON and it's set to OFF after the
insert. The "Cannot insert..." error is the only one I received.
Can anyone help me on that issue? Take note that this approach was
used because of customer requirements; the size of the database also
causes some problem (over 200 tables) and we decided to use the same
structure on both side to minimize the support time.

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to insert a new record into a sql table and I get the following error message:
Msg 544, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'tbl_MLS_ReportCriteria' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
Here is the code:
USE MLS
INSERT INTO dbo.tbl_MLS_ReportCriteria (CriteriaID, Name, DisplayName, DetailedInstructions, TypeID, Source, DefaultValue, ValueField, DescriptionField, IncludeAllOption)
VALUES ('65', 'Summary3', 'Tertiary Summarize By', NULL, '2', 'SelectOptions', 'Company', NULL, NULL, '0')
What do I need to change and or look for?
TIA

If a column is set to allow nulls I know that a constraint can be used to supply a default (i.e. GetDate() ) when no value is provided but what about when an explicit NULL is provided in an INSERT or UPDATE statement?Is there any way other then an AFTER trigger to substitute a value for an explicitly provided NULL? In other words, assuming that dtAsof is a NULL enabled column, is there any way to over ride what the following will do to MYTABLE:
INSERT MYTABLE(sCol1, sCol2, sCol3, dtAsOf)
SELECT 'a', 'b', 'c', NULL
If there's no way to do this in SQL Server 2008R2 then what about later versions of SQL Server? Do any more recent versions have a way to deal with this? We have a third party app that uses a SQL Server back end and many of the tables have columns for storing audit like data such as date/time but many are left to NULL values and I'd really like to fix that in as passive a way as possible so as to not break the app that uses the database. I know a constraint with a default can be sued to over ride a null but not when a null is explicitly provided.

While I have learned a lot from this thread I am still basically confused about the issues involved.
.I wanted to INSERT a record in a parent table, get the Identity back and use it in a child table. Seems simple.
To my knowledge, mine would be the only process running that would update these tables. I was told that there is no guarantee, because the OLEDB provider could write the second destination row before the first, that the proper parent-child relationship would be generated as expected. It was recommended that I create my own variable in memory to hold the Identity value and use that in my SSIS package.
1. A simple example SSIS .dts example illustrating the approach of using a variable for identity would be helpful.
2. Suppose I actually had two processes updating these tables, running at the same time. Then it seems the "variable" method will also have its problems. Is there a final solution other than locking the tables involved prior to updating them or doing something crazy like using a GUID for the primary key!
3. We have done the type of parent-child inserts I originally described from t-sql for years without any apparent problems. (Maybe we were just lucky.) Is the entire issue simply a t-sql one or does SSIS add a layer of complexity beyond t-sql that needs to be addressed?
TIA,

I want to insert a new record into a table with an Identity field and return the new Identify field value back to the data stream (for later insertion as a foreign key in another table).
What is the most direct way to do this in SSIS?
TIA,
barkingdog
P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?

Hello,
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.
Thanks.

Let me start off by saying I have posted this on:
comp.databases.ms-sqlserver
My apologies, try not to do that again.
I have a table that I am trying to insert into with data from another
table. Here is that Query:
INSERT INTO item (identifier, name, customlgtxt1, weight,mainprice,
customnumber3, customnumber4)
Select partno, name, description, weight,price, qtyprice, qty
From Import2
This seems to work fine.
My dilemma has to do with an 'id' column in that item table. This is
incrementally updated by one..ie Natural Key. I have set it to
Identity and used Set @@IDENTITY AS 'id'...worked like a charm. But
for reasons that have to do with a front end admin tool used by the
home office I can't set this column to have an Indentity property.
Screws up the insert done with the admin tool.
This is a item/price database by the way. Name of item, price,
description, qty price..etc.
So I've tried to put this trigger on the item table
CREATE TRIGGER auto_fill ON [dbo].[item]
FOR INSERT, UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
declare @maxc int
set @maxc = (select Max(id) from item)
set @maxc = @maxc +1
Select 'id' AS '@maxc',
notorderable = '0',
createdon = getdate(),
createdat = getdate(),
createdby = 'Steve',
modifiedon = getdate(),
modifiedat= getdate(),
modifiedby = 'Steve'
END
But the Insert Into statement (see above) will not work...giving the
error
"Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'id', table
'new_Catalog1v1.dbo.item"
Which I know...that's why I set it to Identity..but that cannot be.
So the question is how to set an autonumber (or natural key or I'm not
sure of the name) that updated from the max(id)table when inserting from another table.
And then...one more.
I have to update a table named UNIQUEIDS with the lastest value of the
id column (max(ID))..UNIQUEIDS keeps track of the latest value inserted
into the id column for a number of tables. Here is another trigger I
put on the item table to update the UNIQUEIDS table.
create trigger upUniqueIds_item on [dbo].[item]
for update,Insert, delete
as
begin
Select @@Identity as 'id' from inserted
Update uniqueids
set id = @@identity
Where tablename = 'item'
End
But of course this doesn't work if I can't set the columns to
IDENTITY.
I hope someone can help and I hope my explanation had made sense.
Need to increment the id field using max(id) and update another table with the last imported value of max(id). One occurs during insert..another after the insert..i think?

Help!
I need to be able to insert into an Identity column and tried putting
SET IDENTITY_INSERT table ON
in a stored procedure , but it didn't like this if not dbo, which will be the case.
Is there anyway of globally making this setting and leaving it on permenantly

How would I do an insert statement so that it auto increments and creates a unique number?
I keep getting errors.

I have 2 tables - tblOrders and tblOrderDetails. Every time an order is placed, 2 INSERT statements are executed. The first one enters the general order and customer information in the tblOrders table:INSERT INTO tblOrders (custname, custdetails, orderdate) VALUES (@custname, @custdetails, @orderdate)The primary key in this table is OrderID which is an Identity column. This is the foreign key in the tblOrderDetails table.I'm trying to get the Identity value from the first INSERT statement to use in the second INSERT statement:INSERT INTO tblOrderDetails (orderid, productid, productcost) VALUES (@orderid, @productid, @productcost)How do i obtain this value and how would I supply it to the second INSERT statement?

Hi All: I have what I'm sure is a common scenario...I have a table to track pageviews of a form, and which also tracks when a person viewing the form submits it.
The table has three fields: an INT identity/PK field, a DATETIME (default getdate()) field, and a BIT field with default "false".
When the page is viewed, I insert a record into the dB:
Protected Sub Page_load(ByVal src As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
conn = New SqlConnection("Server=myserver;Database=mydb;User ID=user;Password=password;Trusted_Connection=false;")
If Not IsPostBack Then
AddTrack()
End If
End Sub
Sub AddTrack()
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand
Dim insertTrack As String
insertTrack = "Insert PageTracker (submitted) Values (0)"myCommand = New SqlCommand(insertTrack, conn)
myCommand.Connection.Open()
Try
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()tempTxt.Text = "<br>Ticked</b><br>" & insertTrack
Catch ex As SqlException
tempTxt.Text = ex.Number.ToString()
End Try
myCommand.Connection.Close()
End Sub
And if I view the page, the record is inserted into the table. But now I need to know the value of the identity field, so when the form is submitted, I can update the field "submitted" from "0" to "1".
The way I would do it in ASP is to add a "SELECT @@identity" to the query, and get the value using RS.nextrecordset. How would I do this in .NET? or is there a better way for me to do this?

Hi,
I'm nesting a bunch queries, the parent being a select, and the children being inserts. I'd like to retain the auto generated IDs from the original table, and insert them into the new tables (into identity fields). I believe that there is a command that I can use to temporarily turn identity auto numbering off for the current query - can anyone help me with this?
Cheers,
