Last GASP On Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back ?

Jul 9, 2006

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?



TIA,

Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back

Jun 30, 2006

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?

How To Use Identity On Non-identity Column (with Concurrence)

Aug 1, 2014

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

* I can't change anything on T

* The PK is NOT an Identity

How To Refer A Column When The Referencing Column Is An Identity Column

Oct 16, 2006

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 ?

Bcp With IDENTITY Field

Apr 2, 2001

If my table has an IDENTITY field, say, the table schema is:
CREATE TABLE BBB(
id int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1),
name varchar(20),
job varchar(40))
My data file, which does not carry the IDENTITY field
and its field terminator. The data file looks like this:

debbie cao,programmer
John Doe,engineer
Mary Smith,consultant

I tried to use a format file to bulk copy data from the
data file to the table. Never had any luck.
On the other hand, if I put a comma before the name field,
say, the data file looks like the following:

,debbie cao,programmer
,John Doe,engineer
,Mary Smith,consultant

then, bcp works fine.
But, my data file is automatically generated. It does not
suppose to have the leading comma. Without the leading comma,
I have no idea how may I make bcp work. The SQLBOL says it
can be done. Does anybody have an example to show me?
Please help, thanks!

Identity Field

Jul 12, 1999

Dear Fellow Administrators,

We are experiencing an identity problem on a table with 3.7 millions rows of data in the table. The identity field is not auto numbering any more and are wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to get the auto number field working again without doing a bcp and restoring the table back to the database from bcp. Any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance,

Identity Field

Jul 9, 1998

Greetings !

Having an unusual problem - have created several (20) tables in a database.
All of these tables have an identity field in them (defined as FIELDNAME int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL ). In most of the tables this works as expected, but in 2, so far, when I do the first load (an insert based on a different database) the identity fields are all zero.
Have recreated the tables, changed the field name and location, etc.
Anyone have any clues ?

TIA

Identity Field

Mar 8, 2004

Folks

I am inserting some values into a table with the following stmt

Insert into table(number,name) values ('12','name')

In the table I have one more identity column ID. I know that I cannot insert a value in that column and the value is automatically increased once I insert a record. After this insert statment, I need to get the value
of the ID (the most recent one) in the next select statement.

ie Select @@identity from table (any condition????)

How do I get the most recent ID value? Actually I m inserting the records in a loop and the ID is increased for every insert.


Thanks for the help,

Identity Field

Jun 29, 2007

Hello...

New to SQL and have the following situation....

Example of table (currently)
PayID (Primary Key) PaymentNumber (Identity Field)
John 1
Tim 2
Chris 3
John (same as John above) 4
Jack 5
Steve 6

Would like to see it work this way
PayID (Primary Key) PaymentNumber (Identity Field)
John 1
John (same as John above) 2
Tim 1
Chris 1
Jack 1
Steve 1

Can the identity column be setup to start the counter over depending on value of PayeeID...If another Jack was added then the Payment Number would be 2 for Jack since there is already a record with value 1....

Hope this makes sense...

Thanks

Identity Field Fix

I inherited a system with a SQL 2000 DB. We discovered an identity field named barcode with some values that are incorrect. About 1000 of the records contain a barcode field with 13 digits, not forteen as required. This field is a standalone field only used on an ID card. I would like to select those 1000 records and update the barcode field to 14 digits. Is there an easy way to do this? Thx

Nov 14, 2005

ok, so i get this error,
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'TBL_LAPTOP_BOOKINGS' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.

i ran SET INDENTITY_INSERT TBL_LAPTOP_BOOKINGS ON before i ran my script... and i also checked, we are running SQL 2000 with service pack four, because of the cursor error....

so im just wondering, is there anyway to make identity_insert to always be on, or any other way to have a unique id in my booking_id field??

Thanks Guys, Justin

Identity Field Issue

Jun 22, 2007

Hello,

I have a field in my table called "MyNewCounter",
where the data type is int.

Unfortunately I set the identity field to "No" instead
of "Yes" on this field.

Since this time a few thousand records were imported
in and this field is now set to a value of null for all records.

When I tried to change the identity to "Yes" and save
the table, I get an error indicating that the field can not
contain a null value.

If I populated this field with numeric values, would this
correct my issue? and if so, what SQL command would
I use to set the field value starting at 1 to increment
for each existing record?

SQL Server Identity Field

Jul 20, 2005

I have an identity field on a table in SQL Server. The identity seedis 1 and the identity increment is 1. If I remove a record from thistable, the identity sequence is broken. For example:Table contents prior to record delete:Fname(varchar), Lname (varchar), row_id (identity)--------------------------------------------------Smith, Jane, 1Smith, Tom, 2Jones, Mark 3Delete from mytable where row_id = 2Fname(varchar), Lname (varchar), row_id (identity)---------------------------------------------------Smith, Jane, 1Jones, Mark 3How can I re-set the identity field so that there are no gaps in thesequence?For example, I want to update the sequence after the delete so thatrecords look like this:Fname(varchar), Lname (varchar), row_id (identity)---------------------------------------------------Smith, Jane, 1Jones, Mark 2

INSERTING Into IDENTITY Field

Nov 15, 2006

I have a table with the following schema:
CREATE TABLE [itis].[wrk_taxon_authors] (
[wb_taxon_author_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[taxon_author_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[taxon_author] [varchar] (100) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ,
[kingdom_id] [smallint] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

I am trying to insert the following data (as you can see fields are seperated with the | ):

19||Flores-Villela and Sánchez-H., 2003|5|
20||Wiegmann, 1828|5|
16|17482|Gray, 1838|5|
17|9823|(Wiegmann, 1828)|5|
I get the following error:Server: Msg 4869, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk Insert failed. Unexpected NULL value in data file row 1, column 2. Destination column (taxon_author_id) is defined NOT NULL.
Server: Msg 4869, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk Insert failed. Unexpected NULL value in data file row 2, column 2. Destination column (taxon_author_id) is defined NOT NULL.

Since I have defined column 2 as an identity column, I don't understand why SQL Query analyzer is upset when I do not have a value in that field. To me, I would think it would auto-insert an integer (starting at seed 1 and incrementing by 1), but it doesn't. Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
