Error In Identity Column
Aug 3, 2007For 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?

I'm using SQL 2005 Server Management Studio -
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'.
What might I be missing here?
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.
Thanks.
Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'tblUsed' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.

Hi,
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".
Any idea?
Thanks.
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
Hi,
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

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.
Does anyone know why this simple task would fail?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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
* I can't change anything on T
* The PK is NOT an Identity
Hi all,
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,
ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id)
REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
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.
any workarounds for this ?
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:

Hi to all, Using sql query i want to check whether the column is Identity column or not? Please members reply me.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHaving an identity column in target table, how do I use SQL 7 DTS ?
In Import wizard, I chose 'ignore' in source, checked Enable Indenity Insert - DTS failed with a msg like - a column cannot have NULL...
In DTS package, had Fast load and Enable Indenity checked - no luck !
Unchecked Enable identity, do luck.
What would be the standard procs for this since this sounds like a very common
senario.
What I am expecting is to insert from source and SQL would take care identity column automatically.
Appreciate your help very much !

I have a table that has a field that will not accept null values. I was trying to create a new table with a new field that would accept null values. I would then drop the original table and rename the new table. The problem is my key field has the Identity column (Autonumber) turned on. This allows the recordID to be automatically generated. Is there anyway to bypass the Identity Column feature and still keep it there future records? I already tried the "with Nocheck Clause" but does not work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedKudos to y'all! On most of my tables, I'm using a column of data type numeric and properties set as Identity with no replication. Now I know that it can handle only a length of 9 and obviously not nullable. Now by length of 9, does it mean in bytes or literal digits. If it is, then that would mean that it would reach only up to 999,999,999. What happens then if it reaches that digit?

Hi,I would like a piece of advice.I have 3 foreign keys in a table used as primary keys for this table.Is it useful in that case to have just one identity column that wouldbe used as the unique primary key, thus no need to have 3 primary keys?Advantages vs Drabacks ?Regards
