How To Get An Identity Value From An INSERT Statement
Feb 29, 2008
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 2 tables: Applicant_Table, Applicant_Resume_Table In my web application, after applicant click "submit" for his job application, the information will be saved to Applicant_table in SQL Server. But in a SQL statement, how to get his Applicant_ID, so that I can save his resume to another table on his Applicant_ID?Thank you.
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?
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?
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
I've have a need with SQL Server 2005 (so I've no MERGE statement), I have to merge 2 tables, the target table has 10 fields, the first 4 are the clustered index and primary key, the source table has the same fields and index.Since I can't use the MERGE statement (I'm in SQL 2005) I have to make a double step operation, and INSERT and an UPDATE, I can't figure how to design the WHERE condition for the insert statement.
An insert statement was not inserting all the data into a table. Found it very strange as the other fields in the row were inserted. I ran SQL profiler and found that sql statement had all the fields in the insert statement but some of the fields were not inserted. Below is the sql statement which is created dyanmically by a asp.net C# class. The columns which are not inserted are 'totaltax' and 'totalamount' ...while the 'shipto_name' etc...were inserted.there were not errors thrown. The sql from the code cannot be shown here as it is dynamically built referencing C# class files.It works fine on another test database which uses the same dlls. The only difference i found was the difference in date formats..@totalamount=1625.62,@totaltax=125.62are not inserted into the database.Below is the statement copied from SQL profiler.exec sp_executesql N'INSERT INTO salesorder(billto_city, billto_country, billto_line1, billto_line2, billto_name,billto_postalcode, billto_stateorprovince, billto_telephone, contactid, CreatedOn, customerid, customeridtype,DeletionStateCode, discountamount, discountpercentage, ModifiedOn, name, ordernumber,pricelevelid, salesorderId, shipto_city, shipto_country,shipto_line1, shipto_line2, shipto_name, shipto_postalcode, shipto_stateorprovince,shipto_telephone, StateCode, submitdate, totalamount,totallineitemamount, totaltax ) VALUES(@billto_city, @billto_country, @billto_line1, @billto_line2,@billto_name, @billto_postalcode, @billto_stateorprovince, @billto_telephone, @contactid, @CreatedOn, @customerid,@customeridtype, @DeletionStateCode, @discountamount,@discountpercentage, @ModifiedOn, @name, @ordernumber, @pricelevelid, @salesorderId,@shipto_city, @shipto_country, @shipto_line1, @shipto_line2,@shipto_name, @shipto_postalcode, @shipto_stateorprovince, @shipto_telephone,@StateCode, @submitdate, @totalamount, @totallineitemamount, @totaltax)',N'@billto_city nvarchar(8),@billto_country nvarchar(13),@billto_line1 nvarchar(3),@billto_line2 nvarchar(4),@billto_name nvarchar(15),@billto_postalcode nvarchar(5),@billto_stateorprovince nvarchar(8),@billto_telephone nvarchar(3),@contactid uniqueidentifier,@CreatedOn datetime,@customerid uniqueidentifier,@customeridtype int,@DeletionStateCode int,@discountamount decimal(1,0),@discountpercentage decimal(1,0),@ModifiedOn datetime,@name nvarchar(33),@ordernumber nvarchar(18),@pricelevelid uniqueidentifier,@salesorderId uniqueidentifier,@shipto_city nvarchar(8),@shipto_country nvarchar(13),@shipto_line1 nvarchar(3),@shipto_line2 nvarchar(4),@shipto_name nvarchar(15),@shipto_postalcode nvarchar(5),@shipto_stateorprovince nvarchar(8),@shipto_telephone nvarchar(3),@StateCode int,@submitdate datetime,@totalamount decimal(6,2),@totallineitemamount decimal(6,2),@totaltax decimal(5,2)',@billto_city=N'New York',@billto_country=N'United States',@billto_line1=N'454',@billto_line2=N'Road',@billto_name=N'Hillary Clinton',@billto_postalcode=N'10001',@billto_stateorprovince=N'New York',@billto_telephone=N'124',@contactid='8DAFE298-3A25-42EE-B208-0B79DE653B61',@CreatedOn=''2008-04-18 13:37:12:013'',@customerid='8DAFE298-3A25-42EE-B208-0B79DE653B61',@customeridtype=2,@DeletionStateCode=0,@discountamount=0,@discountpercentage=0,@ModifiedOn=''2008-04-18 13:37:12:013'',@name=N'E-Commerce Order (Before billing)',@ordernumber=N'BRKV-CC-OKRW5764YS',@pricelevelid='B74DB28B-AA8F-DC11-B289-000423B63B71',@salesorderId='9CD0E11A-5A6D-4584-BC3E-4292EBA6ED24',@shipto_city=N'New York',@shipto_country=N'United States',@shipto_line1=N'454',@shipto_line2=N'Road',@shipto_name=N'Hillary Clinton',@shipto_postalcode=N'10001',@shipto_stateorprovince=N'New York',@shipto_telephone=N'124',@StateCode=0,@submitdate=''2008-04-18 14:37:10:140'',@totalamount=1625.62,@totallineitemamount=1500.00,@totaltax=125.62
Hello I have a problem with setting relations properly when inserting data using adonet. Already have searched for a solutions, still not finding a mistake... Here's the sql management studio diagram :
and that causes (at line 67):"The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_Question_SurveyTemplate". The conflict occurred in database "ankietyzacja", table "dbo.SurveyTemplate", column 'id'. The statement has been terminated. at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.UpdatedRowStatusErrors(RowUpdatedEventArgs rowUpdatedEvent, BatchCommandInfo[] batchCommands, Int32 commandCount) at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.UpdatedRowStatus(RowUpdatedEventArgs rowUpdatedEvent, BatchCommandInfo[] batchCommands, Int32 commandCount) at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Update(DataRow[] dataRows, DataTableMapping tableMapping) at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.UpdateFromDataTable(DataTable dataTable, DataTableMapping tableMapping) at System.Data.Common.DbDataAdapter.Update(DataSet dataSet, String srcTable) at AnkietyzacjaWebService.Service1.createSurveyTemplate(Object[] o) in J:\PL\PAI\AnkietyzacjaWebService\AnkietyzacjaWebServicece\Service1.asmx.cs:line 397"
Could You please tell me what am I missing here ? Thanks a lot.
This problem is being seen on SQL 2005 SP2 + cumulative update 4
I am currently successfully using the output clause of an insert statement to return the identity values for inserted rows into a table variable
I now need to add an "instead of insert" trigger to the table that is the subject of the insert.
As soon as I add the "instead of insert" trigger, the output clause on the insert statement does not return any data - although the insert completes successfully. As a result I am not able to obtain the identities of the inserted rows
Note that @@identity would return the correct value in the test repro below - but this is not a viable option as the table in question will be merge replicated and @@identity will return the identity value of a replication metadata table rather than the identity of the row inserted into my_table
Note also that in the test repro, the "instead of insert" trigger actually does nothing apart from the default insert, but the real world trigger has additional code.
To run the repro below - select each of the sections below in turn and execute them 1) Create the table 2) Create the trigger 3) Do the insert - note that table variable contains a row with column value zero - it should contain the @@identity value 4) Drop the trigger 5) Re-run the insert from 3) - note that table variable is now correctly populated with the @@identity value in the row
I need the behaviour to be correct when the trigger is present
GO /************************************************ 2) - Create the trigger ************************************************/ CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[trig_my_table__instead_insert] ON [dbo].[my_table] INSTEAD OF INSERT AS BEGIN
INSERT INTO my_table ( forename, surname) SELECT forename, surname FROM inserted
END
/************************************************ 3) - Do the insert ************************************************/
INSERT INTO my_table ( forename , surname ) OUTPUT inserted.my_table_id INTO @my_insert VALUES( @forename , @surname )
select @@identity -- expect this value in @my_insert table select * from @my_insert -- OK value without trigger - zero with trigger
/************************************************ 4) - Drop the trigger ************************************************/
drop trigger [dbo].[trig_my_table__instead_insert] go
/************************************************ 5) - Re-run insert from 3) ************************************************/ -- @my_insert now contains row expected with identity of inserted row -- i.e. OK
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.
Hello, Is it possible to generate a identityfield dynamically upon select, like this: SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username ASC I want the output to be: 1 - Name12 - Name23 - Name3 The reason for this, is that i want to change the sort order in many diffrent ways, but i need to get the IDs from 1-?? even when the sort order changes. Like: SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username DESC I want the output to be: 1 - Name32 - Name23 - Name1
after i have inserted a row into the DB i am trying to get the last identity like this : Dim myCommand2 As New SqlCommand("SELECT @@IDENTITY AS 'Identity'", ) Dim myReader2 As SqlDataReader myReader2 = myCommand2.ExecuteReader() where myConnection2 is the connection objectafter i did this i dont underdsand how do i get the 'Identity' value?i tried myReader2 ('Identity') but no luckany 1 can helpthnaks in advancepeleg
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?
i have a question: i have a table that has an identity id column called pId and also a column called ParentPid. now my question is that i want to insert the value of pId into the ParentPid when i'm adding a new Property to a table. any idea? thanks
Hi All, I've looked through the forum hoping I'm not the only one with this issue but alas, I have found nothing so I'm hoping someone out there will give me some assistance. My problem is the case statement in my Insert Statement. My overall goal is to insert records from one table to another. But I need to be able to assign a specific value to the incoming data and thought the case statement would be the best way of doing it. I must be doing something wrong but I can't seem to see it.
Here is my code: Insert into myTblA (TblA_ID, mycasefield = case when mycasefield = 1 then 99861 when mycasefield = 2 then 99862 when mycasefield = 3 then 99863 when mycasefield = 4 then 99864 when mycasefield = 5 then 99865 when mycasefield = 6 then 99866 when mycasefield = 7 then 99867 when mycasefield = 8 then 99868 when mycasefield = 9 then 99855 when mycasefield = 10 then 99839 end, alt_min, alt_max, longitude, latitude ( Select MTB.LocationID MTB.model_ID MTB.elevation, --alt min null, --alt max MTB.longitude, --longitude MTB.latitude --latitude from MyTblB MTB );
The error I'm getting is: Incorrect syntax near '='.
I have tried various versions of the case statement based on examples I have found but nothing works. I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this one. I've been smacking my head against the wall for awhile trying to find a solution.
Hey, I've been having problems - when trying to insert a new row i've been trying to get back the unique ID for that row. I've added "SELECT @MY_ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY();" to my query but I am unable get the data. If anyone has a better approach to this let me know because I am having lots of problems. Thanks,Lang
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?

I would like to use ADO in a new project but I need to find out how to return the identity field value to ADO out of a stored procedure. I have not done alot with ADO or with SQL 7.0 so if anyone has an example of the SQL and the ADO code that I would need I would greatly appriate it.
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?
hi to the group, i am small problem, i am having two columns 1 is col1 which is a primary key and col2 any think .now i want to insert the data into second column at that time the first column must get the values in identity (like 1,2,3,4 etc) with out using identity(sql server)/generated always(db2) can any one knows please explain it

I have 2 tables with same structure.only difference is, TableA has key colum which is declared as identity starting from 1.
I want to insert data from TableB into TableA where TableB.Key is all null with TableA.Key starting from 9000001
when i try to do that iam getting an error "An explicit value for the identity column in table 'lEADlOAN' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON. " even when I turned IDENTITY_INSERT ON for TableA
