I go to the Northwind database - new query window and paste this code, I just found on this forum, to find the Identity column:
SELECT C.name AS Colname, UPPER(U.name) AS Coltype, C.status AS Cstatus,
C.ColId, C.Id AS Cid, C.length, C.xprec, C.xscale
FROM syscolumns C
JOIN sys.tables O ON C.id = O.object_id
JOIN systypes U ON C.xusertype = U.xusertype
WHERE O.name = 'Fred' AND C.status = 128
ORDER BY C.colid SELECT C.name AS Colname, UPPER(U.name) AS Coltype, C.status AS Cstatus,
C.ColId, C.Id AS Cid, C.length, C.xprec, C.xscale
FROM syscolumns C
JOIN sys.tables O ON C.id = O.object_id
JOIN systypes U ON C.xusertype = U.xusertype
WHERE O.name = 'Products' AND C.status = 128
ORDER BY C.colid
However, I get an error message saying:
Invalid object name 'sys.tables'.
Am I new at this so please bear with me. I searched the site and found threads on identifying the meaning of an error code and have instituted that scripting. It is telling me that I have a 'The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow.' error. It identifies the colum as 5301.
I searched the threads and found one telling me I could do an advanced editor search on the lineage id to find the column being referenced. I have traced the entire process using this information and cannot find a reference lineage id of 5301. Was that thread information accurate, and if so what do I do now? If not, can someone tell me how the heck I find column 5301? I cannot load my table from a flat file because of this.
Work so far:
I have checked for integrity between column definitions and source flat file. I applied derived column changes to make the data transform to the appropriate data type/order where necessary. This part works without error. (Or seems to, there is no error output from this piece.) It is only on the final attempt to load that the process errors with these messages.
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
For some reason my primary key, identity column skipped a couple of numbers. It went from row 734 to 736, 737, 739 Any ideas why this would happen? thanks
hi, As i have created a table with a identity column and now i am using a procedure to insert the values into that table....but when i execute it it gives an err saying err converting varchar data to int and also on the asp.net ......plz help me out for the procedure and the using it with sqlcommand in .net.
create table demo2(id int identity(1,1),name varchar(20)) create procedure sp_demo2 (@id int,@name varchar(20))as begin insert into demo2(name) values(@name) set @id=@@identity end
I set up replication on my DB between two server. The Publisher will not update tables on the Subscriber that use an identity column and I get an error "8102:cannot update identity column". I have looked around and can't seem to locate any solid fixes. If I remove the identity column from the subscribers tables the package works, but I am not able to use the DB on the subscriber because I need the Identity columns for my app to function properly. My Publisher and Subscriber are both running SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition SP3.
I'd set up Transactional Replication btw 2 servers running on MSSQL 2000.
However, from time to time, I encounter Error 8102. I try to reinitialise the subscription but failed. After I delete the current subscription and PUSH a new one, it will works fine again.
I'm curious why this is happening as I'd already set all the tables (articles) in the subscriber to "YES, not_for_replication".
I have a table t1 and t2 with following structure.
t1(
ID1 int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
name1 varchar(20),
addr1 varchar(20)
)
t2(
ID2 int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
name2 varchar(20),
addr2 varchar(20)
)
Objective here is to match name1 and name2 column using fuzzy look up. So, I used t1 as source table and t2 as reference/lookup table and mapped name1 and name2 column in Fuzzy look up editor. As output column I selected "ID2" column from t2.
Now when i run the package, it throws error
"Multiple identity columns specified for table '##FLRef_070522_14:16:39_5064_c1c6cbbd-5a54-4e36-9154-1371118f0931'. Only one identity column per table is allowed."
I suppose that during Fuzzy lookup, SSIS internally created temporary table and thats where this error occurs when adding two columns as identity. Can someone help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks
Sid
PS: I need ID2 column as output for further calculation.
I am trying to move data from Access to SQL Server 2000 using DTS.
I have an Access Source and SQL Server Desitination, My destination table has a field called tableID that is not in the source. TableID is a Primary Key and an Identity column.
I have Enable Identity Insert checked in the options of the Transform Data Task.
When I execute ythe task, I get the error
"Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'TableID'. Does not allow nulls. Insert Fails.
when i alter non identity column to identity column using this Query alter table testid alter column test int identity(1,1) then i got this error message Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'identity'.
I am using merge replication with automatic identity range management
I want to be able to give a disconnected subscriber a warning message if a certain percentage of the allocated subscriber identity range has been used - so that they can make sure they reconnect soon to obtain a new identity range
I can get the current identity value OK, but I can't find a good way of finding the current permitted primary and secondary ranges
The information is available in the check constraint, but I don't really want to have to parse this!
CONSTRAINT [repl_identity_range_0DF907AC_40CF_4849_9BD0_2173C90A3805] CHECK NOT FOR REPLICATION (([ContactID]>(10000040000.) AND [ContactID]<=(10000050000.) OR [ContactID]>(10000050000.) AND [ContactID]<=(10000060000.)))
I can't find any system view which will provide this information
I have table of three column first column is an ID column. However at creation of the table i have not set this column to auto increment. Then i have copied 50 rows in another table to this table then set the ID column values to zero.
Now I have changed the ID column to auto increment seed=1 increment=1 but the problem is i couldn't figure out how to update this ID column with zero value set to each row with this auto increment values so the ID column would have values from 1-50. Is there a away to do this?
Ok,I just need to know how to get the last record inserted by the highestIDENTITY number. Even if the computer was rebooted and it was twoweeks ago. (Does not have to do with the session).Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Trint
I'm working with a third-party database (SQL Server 2005) and the problem here is the following:
- There are a bunch of ETL processes that needs to insert rows on a table (let's call this table T) and at the same time, an ERP (owner of T) is up and running (reading, updating and inserting on T).
- The PK of T is an Integer.
Today all ETL processes uses (select max(ID) + 1 from T) to insert new rows, so just picture the scenario. It is a mess! Everyday they get duplicate key error when 2 or more concurrent processes are trying to insert a row (with the max) at the same time.
Considering that I can't change the PK, what is the best approach to solve this problem?
To sum up:
* I need to have processes in parallel inserting on T
The requirement is to have a table say 'child_table', with an Identity column to refer another column from a table say 'Parent_table'..
i cannot implement this constraint, it throws the error when i execute the below Alter query,

the error thrown is : Failed to execute alter table query: 'ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id) REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE '. Message: java.sql.SQLException: Cascading foreign key 'fk_1_ct' cannot be created where the referencing column 'child_table.child_id' is an identity column.
Hi guys, If I have a temporary table called #CTE With the columns [Account] [Name] [RowID Table Level] [RowID Data Level] and I need to change the column type for the columns: [RowID Table Level] [RowID Data Level] to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time. What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance, Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE ALTER COLUMN [RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1), [RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE MODIFY [RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1), [RowID Data Level] INT;
I have a task to where I need to move a column from one table toanother. I want to be sure I update any view, stored procedure,trigger, etc. that references the column. I simply want a query thatwill report the related objects and then I will update them manuallybut before I go and try and figure out how to do this by querying thesys tables is there an sp_sproc that will do this?

I always seem to come back to dataset issues. Nonetheless, here is my problem:
I am retrieving data using a stored procedure that lists the number of bookings per hour and the revenue that generates also per hour. So, you enter a single date in the stored procedure, for example 2001-10-01 and it will bring back 24 rows corresponding to the 24 hours (obviously) and two columns, one displaying the number of bookings and one displaying how much revenue.
Pretty simple so far.
I have a report using SQL Reporting Services that allows users to enter two dates and therefore you get two tables with the relevant dates data. For example, table one has date 1's data and table 2 has as you'd expect date 2's data. Both tables use different datasets.
The reason why I am using different tables and different datasets is that the stored procedure I use only allows the use of one date at a time therefore, I use a second dataset to generate the second date's data.
The problem occurs when I want to calculate a difference between the two date's data, for example have another table that shows the differrence between table one and table two for bookings for each corresponding hour.
Anyone have any ideas as to how I could achieve this?
I have a table. In that table I have a list by student number that lists the entry dates into a particular grade. When trying to list only the first time entered, there is no unique way to identify one row from another other than the date. Is there a way to use max or min to only pull one date per student number? I have done a series of case when statements and I am able to get it down to 1 to 2 entries per student number, but I need to get it down to only 1 date per student number.

I am using Access 2007 and I have 10 columns of data.
I am trying to select all the data from all 10 columns where the first column's data returns only the Unique values and the other columns return all the data from the row that is returned from the first column.
But that returns all the data in the table and all values in the Sorter column with duplicates because each row has distinct data.
I am trying to return unique values from [SFR Rates All].Sorter (the first column) and all the data from the other 9 columns that are contain the row with the unique value in Sorter.
I know that I am missing something basic but well, I can't figure it out.

Hi(SQL Server 2000)I have an existing table (t) with a column that is NOT an identity column(t.ID), but it has manually inserted "row numbers". I want to make thiscolumn become an identity column. This column is a key field to othertables, so I want to keep the row numbers that are allready inserted.From the Query Analyzer, how do I do this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Gunnar VøyenliEDB-konsulent asNORWAY
