I use MSsql server 2005 with the compatability mode set to 2000.One of the tables, has an IDENTITY Column.I need to restore a earlier backed copy of the table.So, i did the following :
set IDENTITY_INSERT MYTABLE ON
insert into MYTABLE(ID,NAME) values(23,'XYZ')
However, i get the following error :
[Error Code: 544, SQL State: S0001] Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'MYTABLE' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
Can anyone tell me why the set IDENTITY_INSERT does not work ? I need to disable the IDENTITY, do the restore and then enable the IDENTITY again.Also, i need to be able to do this only thorugh SQL issued via JDBC.Please help.

DB is developed on local computer with MSSQL 2005 Express. My host is on MSSQL 2005 workgroup. Are they compatible, because I am getting errors? Is my approach wrong?
I have tried several approaches.
A) I created a backup of database on my local, then placed a copy on the server. Then I tried to restore through Server Management Studio. I get this error.

B: I also have tried copying the database. I put it in the same path as the other databases that can be read with server management studio on the server. Then, tried to get to it through server managements studio and it did not appear. So I tried to attach it. Then I received this error:

C: I have also tried opening the Database, and back up file through Server Management Studio. without success.
D: I also tried Windows and Software update at microsoft update, but no updates were recommended for Version on Server.
I'm surprised this is so hard. My original data base was created in same family of software. 2005 MS SQL Express. I could use some direct help from someone experienced with this. Am I doing it wrong or are the DB versions incompatible.

I am a bit new to the MSSQL server. In our application, we use so many SQL queries. To imporve the performance, we used the Database enigine Tuning tool to create the indexes. The older version of the application supports MSSQL 2000 also. To re-create these new indexes, I have an issue in running these "CREATE INDEX" commands as the statements generated for index creation are done in MSSQL 2005. The statements include "INCLUDES" keyword which is supported in MSSQL 2005 but not in MSSQL 2000.
Ex:-
CREATE INDEX IND_001_PPM_PA ON PPM_PROCESS_ACTIVITY

I've been tasked to move our production databases on MSSQL 2000 to 2005. I've supported MSSQL since version 6.5 and performed migrations to successor versions.
Current Environment is MSSQL 2000 32-bit with current Service Packs.
I've performed mock migrations on Test servers upgrading all Production instances simultaneously from MSSQL 2000 to 2005 32-bit. The Test environment is identical to Production minus server name, IP etc. Also I have a separate server with MSSQL 2005 installed where I use the DETACH / ATTACH and BACKUP / RESTORE method for migration / acceptance testing. There are approximately 30 databases totaling 70 GB. This has gone as expected and fairly successful. Vendors have been coordinated with to update code and staff for acceptance testing.
I'd prefer going directly to MSSQL 2005 64-bit instead if possible due to memory benefits etc. This is where I'd like some feedback prior to borrowing a 64-bit server for testing.
Upgrade options:
1. Is it better to migrate from MSSQL 2000 32-bit to 2005 64-bit via: a. DETACH / ATTACH b. BACKUP / RESTORE c. Is one method more advantageous relating to the end result? 2. Regarding XP clients, have issues been experienced with the default SQL Server driver or is an alternate recommended for XP clients to connect to a MSSQL 64-bit server databases? 3. If you have performed this migration and have relevant experience please pass them along.
Hi, for some reason, when I've installed visual studio 2005, I didn't install also SQL server. Than I've updated VS with Service Pack 1 (thank god, I was trying unsucesfully for about 2 weeks :/ ).
Than I want to install MSSQL 2005 and an error came up:
Message displayed to user SQL Server 2005 Setup has detected incompatible components from beta versions of Visual Studio, .NET Framework, or SQL Server 2005. Use Add or Remove Programs to remove these components, and then run SQL Server 2005 Setup again. For detailed instructions on uninstalling SQL Server 2005, see the SQL Server 2005 Readme. SQL Server Setup has detected that the following required component is not installed: Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1. To proceed, download and install the Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=50380 , and then run SQL Server Setup again.
1. The http link leads to main page of MS Download Centre. 2. I have Installer 3.1. (version of file c:windowssystem32msiexec.exe said so) 3. I really do not have any beta version of any mentioned SW. I never had.
So I think the issue could be, that installer is checking for not updated version of Visual Studio. (I was searching through net/msdn and seems no one had this problem (maybe wrong keywords, though) ).
I'm running setup.exe from CD1.
Uninstalling of VS Service Pack 1 is not an option. I really don't want to spent another week by installing it. Please tell that there is some another way :) . Thanks a lot.

Hello, im shure this must have been up before and i apologize for that. But i wonder if there is a way to convert the SQL server express databases to MSSQL 2005 databses?
I am trying to insert a new record to a table in my application created by VWD Express. I get beack the responce "Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Tradersa' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF" . I have a key record in the table which I would like to increment automatically as I add records so I have set the is identity value to true and both the identity seed and increment to 1. I have done a fair bit or searching but do not know how to set the table value of IDENTITY_INSERT to ON. Is this as the table is set up or as the record is about to be added? I beleive I should set this when I add the record, but do not know how to in VWD. Any help would be most welcome. Many thanks in advance
Hi --SQL SERVER 7.0 I have a table P1 which has one identity column and 9 other columns. i need to put all the data from this table into another table with same structure as P1 called P2.
even though i used Set identity_insert P2 on I get an error saying column list must be specified Basically i was trying to do this
SET IDENTITY_INSERT P2 ON go insert into P2 select * from P1
could somebody throw light onto how to specify the column list,but at the same time inserting the entire data from P1 in one shot(using select * from...)?
Any help ragarding this is highly appreciated Thanx SK
I need to archive from one table to another but the new table, which is a duplicate of the old one, won't allow inserts into the ID column. I am using: set identity_insert soldVehicles on INSERT INTO soldVehicles SELECT * FROM vehicles Where sent2sold = 'yes' but I get this error: Error -2147217900
An explicit value for the identity column in table 'soldVehicles' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.
set identity_insert soldVehicles on INSERT INTO soldVehicles SELECT * FROM vehicles Where sent2sold = 'yes'
As I have turned ID_insert ON it must be the column list?... not sure what to do next.
my SP worked on friday, then today i ran it, but it's not working and throws these errors. i googled the error, but i still can't fix it. can you help me?

I have 2 databases, HS and BoardAnalyst and the table TCompanies exist in both. I want to delete all of the records from HS.TCompanies and repopulate it with data from BoardAnalyst.TCompanies. I'm getting the error message "Table 'HS.dbo.CompID' does not exist or cannot be opened for SET operation." CompID is the PK for the table. I'm not sure what the problem is. Thanks
I have a table where IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF. I also have one stored procedure that I need to run that requires IDENTITY_INSERT to be set to ON. The only problem is the users who run the stored procedure are not owners of the table and are getting the error "The current user is not the database or object owner of table ... Cannot perform SET IDENTITY_INSERT" Is there a way to use the IDENTITY_INSERT command without being the owner of the object?
I have Product table in SQL Server 2005 with Primary key ProductID. This is column with Identity set so the values for this column is auto-generated. I also have Orders table has a key that is foreign key to table Products. Now my dev environment has SQL ME whereas the deployment will be done on SQL CE.
Now I have a requirement where we want to synchronize the master tables from SQL Server with the device. For this we want to have the same identity values on the device. When I try to issue SET IDENTITY_INSERT Products ON on SQL ME it does not work. Is there any way I can set the identity ON on the SQL Mobile Edition?
Also another question I have is: Is SET IDENTITY_INSERT supported on SQL Compact Edition?
We have created an "AdminUser" with the bare minimum rights for the activites it will need to do. One thing the "AdminUser" will need to do is a "SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON/OFF".
I understand that for this user to be able to do this they will need ddl_admin rights. But that gives them all kinds of permission that I don't want this user to have.
Is there a specific permission I can give the user so they can do the "IDENTITY_INSERT"?
I tried "GRANT create table to AdminUser" but that didn't work. I tried "GRANT alter any database DDL trigger to AdminUser" but that didn't work either. I'm looking for something more specific than "ddl_admin".
I'm new to ASP/VS/Linq and I'm having a small problem. I have one table setup in SQL Server Express 2005 through Visual Studio 2008. The table name is "Users" and has three columns (accountID, userName, email). AccountID is the primary key and set to auto incriment. I've added a couple of records by hand and it works. I have a single form with a button, a label, and two text boxes. The button code is below. After entering some fake data that does not already exist in the database and clicking the button I get this. Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Users' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF. I understand that it is trying to insert something into the accountID field but I don't understand why since I'm only providing a username and e-mail address to insert. Your help is greatly appreciated.protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { MyDatabaseDataContext db = new MyDatabaseDataContext(); var query = from u in db.Users where u.email == txtEmail.Text select u;
var count = query.Count(); if (count == 0) { //Create a new user object. User newUser = new User();
//Add the user to the User table. db.Users.InsertOnSubmit(newUser); db.SubmitChanges(); } else { Label1.Text = txtEmail.Text + " already exists in the database."; }
Hi, What is this error ? Error : " Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Comments' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF. " Please help me .
Hi all. This is my first post to these forums and I am a newbie. I am using SQL server 2005 and I have written a procedure to insert the data in new row. My procedure runs and executes well, but does not insert a record in my DB table. Instead I get a message in the debugger window that I need to turn ON the Identity Insert property for the tables. But after searching for a while in the IDE, I could not find any such property. So I need to know what went wrong here. Also, I am using ASP.NET to connect to the database and I found out an article on web explaining the way to set the property to ON through my ASP.NET application. But, I would also like to know how to set that property to ON through SQL management studio. Also, my primary key is not null; I am also passing the primary key value and it is unique. Please let me know a remedy for this.
I ma getting following error: Server: Msg 544, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Tmp_r429_sig' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.

and the error message is: Msg 8101, Level 16, State 1, Line 3 An explicit value for the identity column in table 'dbo.Cms_MenuItems_Preview' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.
Hi, I am having a problem with IDENTITY_INSERT command with MSDE 2000 (ADO2.8) in that I cannot insert a specific value to an identity field. (linesbelow with >>> are code lines. I am using Python, but the syntax should beabout the same as VBScript)First, I create an ADO Connection and create my table.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> c = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADODB.Connection')[/color][/color][/color][color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> dsn = 'DRIVER=SQL[/color][/color][/color]Server;UID=myID;Trusted_Connection=Yes;Network=DBM SSOCN;APP=Microsoft DataAccess Components;SERVER=SERVERINSTANCE;"'[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> c.Open(dsn)[/color][/color][/color][color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> sql = 'CREATE TABLE Table_Name ('[/color][/color][/color][color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> sql += 'ID_Field INTEGER PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1), '[/color][/color][/color][color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> sql += 'Field_2 nchar(50) NOT NULL, '[/color][/color][/color][color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> sql += 'Field_3 FLOAT DEFAULT 0.0)'[/color][/color][/color][color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> c.Execute(sql)[/color][/color][/color]This works fine. Then, I attempt to allow insertion into the ID_Field.[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> c.Execute("SET IDENTITY_INSERT Table_Name ON")[/color][/color][/color]This seems to work in that it does not throw an error and gives a returnof -1. Then I open a Recordset[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> r = win32com.client.Dispatch('ADODB.Recordset')[/color][/color][/color][color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> r.Open('Table_Name', c, 2, 4)[/color][/color][/color]Last, I am attempt to add a record to the recordset with an explicit ID,[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> r.AddNew()[/color][/color][/color][color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]>>> r.Fields.Item('ID_Field').Value = 45[/color][/color][/color]but this fails with the error of"Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DBstatus value, if available. No work was done."Even worse, if I now try to set the identity field to allow inserts again,Updating() causes an error that I must use an explicit value for ID_Field,but if I try to give it one, it fails with the above error. I have todestroy the recordset object at this point to get any further.I am told that SET IDENTITY_INSERT only remains active for one statement andthus must be combined with the insert, but I do not know how to do this.There is a similar sounding bug w/ SQL 7(http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...b;EN-US;253157), but thereis no indication that it affects newer versions of the DB. Does anyone haveany suggestions or ideas?Thanks for any help,-d
Hi i am unable to set Identity_insert off in sql server compact? Can you please tell me if sqlce supports or not?
If it does not support what is the work around that can be done?
Please tell the workaround in detail i mean altering table for identity key e.g. Because i have seen some posts that talk about alter table but i am unable to understand how that can done?
I know there has already been a thread on this, but I want to push some about it.
In SQL Server, there is a command "SET IDENTITY_INSERT tablename ON".
That allows you to update IDENTITY columns, or do INSERTs that include IDENTITY columns. Although a work-around was given for this in the other thread (reset the IDENTITY seed to the desired value before each INSERT), that is a major pain.
In my database, I have a table that tracks charitable donors. They have a donornum, that is an IDENTITY column, and a year. Together, the donornum and the year form the primary key. Each year end, a copy is made of all donor records in one year, to form the next year's donors. They have to keep the same donornum, but they get a new year value of course. Adding new donors uses the donornum normally, incrementing the IDENTITY donornum value.
The advantage of this is that you can match up one year's donors with the previous year's, by joining on donornum. But I need there to be separate records, so they can have separately updated addresses, annual pledge amounts, etc.
Is there any way the SET IDENTITY_INSERT feature can be added to SQL Everywhere, or some other approach can be found that is less laborious than the existing work-around? (The problem with it is that if you have hundreds of donors to copy, you have to do one ALTER TABLE to reset the identity seed for each donor insert for the new year.)
