Cannot Insert Explicit Value For Identity...
Apr 24, 2006I am developing an integration process between two databases. One ofthem is a SQL Server 2000 and the other is using MSDE 2000. Theintegration process is done in C# (VS2003).The main database is the SQL Server, the MSDE will contain a reallysmall subset of the data found on the main. To help diminish the amountof time taken to develop an integration process between thosedatabases, the same structure are found on both side. The onlydifference, when I insert data in the MSDE from the SQL Server, I setthe 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 tryagain, I will always receive the "Cannot insert explicit value foridentity column in table ... when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF." Isaw on Microsoft website the article ID 878501; I noticed I was usingMSDE sp3, I upgraded to SP4... and I still have the problem.I know, when I call the update function on the sqldataadapter, theadapters contain the IDENTITY_INSERT ON and it's set to OFF after theinsert. The "Cannot insert..." error is the only one I received.Can anyone help me on that issue? Take note that this approach wasused because of customer requirements; the size of the database alsocauses some problem (over 200 tables) and we decided to use the samestructure on both side to minimize the support time.

'Cannot Insert Duplicate Key' Error With Identity Column As PK
Feb 18, 2008
I guess there is first for everything...I had never seen error like this before
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_table1'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'table1'. The statement has been terminated.
In this case Primary Key is Identity column. I do not include Idenity column in Insert statement.
Incidently SQL server machines had cluster failure couple of days before. I am not sure whether it has anything to do with it.
I see this error randomly.
How should I debug it

INSERT Into Table With IDENTITY Column
Jul 31, 2001I'm sure this is a common problem but I can't find any relevant info on this site
I have a table that I would like to insert values into. I want to take the values from a secondary table using a select statement.
e.g. a simplified version...
TABLE1
(
Id INTEGER IDENTITY,
UserName VARCHAR(50),
Description VARCHAR(50)
)
TABLE 2
(
UserName VARCHAR(50),
Description VARCHAR(50)
)
Runing the insert statement
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?
thanks

How To Set Start Identity Column During An Insert
May 2, 2008Hi.
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.
Insert Out Of Range ID Value Into Identity Column?
Feb 7, 2007I 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.
Insert Value In An Auto-identity Column
Jul 23, 2005I'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

View 1 Replies View RelatedIdentity Column Value Increments By 2 Rather Than 1 On Insert
Jul 26, 2007I 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?
Thanks.

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

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedCan't Insert Rows In Table With Identity Column
Dec 5, 2007Hello, 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?
Can anyone help???
Thanks!

Insert Only Identity Column Value In SQL Compact Edition
Apr 7, 2008
Hi,
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.
Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance!

Identity Question: Why Is Value Still Used When There Is An INSERT Error
Oct 18, 1999Hi
I'm just wondering why the IDENTITY value is still used when you attempt
an INSERT that fails?
I placed a Foreign Key Constraint on my table. When I put bogus data in
the foreign key field to break the INSERT and get a 'Referential integrity Violated, Unable to Insert error' the Identities are still used!
For example, the Identity was last at 5. Then, I try 10 "bad" Inserts with Foreign Key Violations. The next time I Insert a record Successfully, the indentity starts at 16!!
why does the Identity get incremented when the Insert fails?
