Importing Data In Table With Identity Column
Nov 13, 2000
Whenever I import (or even append from another table) data to a table that has an Identity column, I get an error: Cannot insert NULL values in Identity column.
Isn't the Idenity column supposed to incement automatically without me having to provide a value? Using INSERT provides an Identity value automatically, using import however doesn't.
How can I overcome this problem? (I now delete and recreate the Identity column - really BAD practice!)
Thank you.

Hi,
I have a indexing problem. I have a sequence that needs to has a index number. I want to use a table data type and have a working sample BUT I cannot reseed the table when needed. How do I do this.
This works only for the first ExitCoilID then I need to RESEED.
Here is my code:
DECLARE
@EntryCoilCnt AS INT,
@ExitCoilID AS INT,
@SubtractedFromEntyCoilCnt AS INT
DECLARE
@ExitCoilID_NotProcessed TABLE
(ExitCoilID int)
INSERT INTO @ExitCoilID_NotProcessed
SELECT DISTINCT ExitCoilID
FROM
dbo.TrendEXIT
where
ExitCoilID is not null and
ExitCnt is null
order by
ExitCoilID
DECLARE
@ExitCoilID_Cnt_Index TABLE
(ExitCoilID int, ExitCnt int IDENTITY (1,1))
IF @@ROWCOUNT > 0
BEGIN
DECLARE ExitCoilID_cursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT ExitCoilID FROM @ExitCoilID_NotProcessed
ORDER BY ExitCoilID
OPEN ExitCoilID_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM ExitCoilID_cursor
INTO @ExitCoilID
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @ExitCoilID_Cnt_Index
SELECT ExitCoilID
FROM dbo.TrendEXIT
WHERE
ExitCoilID = @ExitCoilID
ORDER BY
EntryCoilID, Cnt
select * from @ExitCoilID_Cnt_Index
--truncate @ExitCoilID_Cnt_Index
--DBCC CHECKIDENT ('@ExitCoilID_Cnt_Index', RESEED, 1)
FETCH NEXT FROM ExitCoilID_cursor

END
CLOSE ExitCoilID_cursor

Hi all,
I am importing SQL 2000 tables from a developer install of SQL 2000. There are no destination tables to append just new tables being brought in.
I use the All Tasks > Import (DTS) service to do this. I have noticed that the Identity columns do not maintain the Identity attributes. I have to reset them after I import new tables. Is this normal? or is there a bug here?
I checked the MS KB with no success.
Anyone have some info on this?
Thanks.

Hi,
Using Management Studio, when I import data from one identical database to another, any identity specifications get dropped from the destination database.
(From columns which have them on the source database and which had them on the destination database.)
Any way to avoid this?

I have a spreadsheet that has all of the data in the first column. The data is delimited by asterisks and there are no column headings. My goal is to import the data into a SQL table. I get the error message "External table is not in the expected format" when I try to select the name of the Excel sheet in the Excel Source Editor. I tried reading using a flat file connection instead of Excel connection, but that didn't work.
In Excel, I can use the Text to Columns feature to convert the data to columns in the spreadsheet. But I have to go into the file manually to do that. Is there a way in SSIS to do the same thing automatically? Or is there a way to save the XLS as a TXT file? Then, I could just use Flat File Connection to read the delimited data.
Thanks.

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,

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 am trying to import a table from a remote database which has a new column added, which I want along with the rest of the data. When I try doing the import via the wizard (Tasks -> Import Data...), the option to drop and re-create the destination table is disabled. Under "Mappings", the newly added column appears as the last row, but for the Destination column, it says "<ignore>" and presents no other option.
How can I bring this new column over? I've checked the table via the dependency viewer, there are no objects which depend on it and no objects on which it depends.

Hi,
I am trying to create a temp table with an identity column. Here is the code that I am using...
SELECT UserId, IDENTITY(int, 1, 1) AS colId
INTO #User
FROM MyUserTable
WHERE UserId = 1
I am getting an error though.
Server: Msg 8108, Level 16, State 1, Line 9
Cannot add identity column, using the SELECT INTO statement, to table
'#User', which already has column 'UserId' that inherits the identity
property.
Is there any way to work around this?
Thanks for your help.

Having 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 !
What would be the standard procs for this since this sounds like a very common
senario.
Appreciate your help very much !

I'm sure this is a common problem but I can't find any relevant info on this site
I have a table that I would like to insert values into. I want to take the values from a secondary table using a select statement.
e.g. a simplified version...
TABLE1
(
Id INTEGER IDENTITY,
UserName VARCHAR(50),
Description VARCHAR(50)
)
TABLE 2
(
UserName VARCHAR(50),
Description VARCHAR(50)
)
Runing the insert statement
INSERT Table1 (UserName, Description)
SELECT *
FROM TABLE2
results in the error
erver: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Id', table 'CDS_Live.dbo.Table1'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
I was under the impression that an identity column would be automatically inserted by SQL server. Now I know I could write a piece of anonymous Transact SQL which declares a cursor by selecting all rows from table 2 and inserting rows into table 1 on a row by row basis, but is there any way I could do the Insert with a single INSERT statement?
thanks

I've got a table with 36+ million rows. I've been asked to modify thetable and add in an identity column. The code I used caused SQL tolock up and it maxed out the log files. :)The code I used is:Begin TransactionAlter Table ODS_DAILY_SALES_POSADD ODS_DAILY_SALES_POS_ID BigInt NOT NULL IDENTITY (1,1)CommitIs there a way to break up the code? Maybe only do a few millionrecords at a time? Or is there a way to do this without lockinganything up?Thanks,Jennifer

In a cursor, I declare a table variable like so:
DECLARE @TempTable TABLE(RowID INT IDENTITY, valueID int)
I then insert into that table from another table. The purpose is to get a list that looks like this after the insert:
RowID valueID1 348972 345223 94822
etc....
However, the next time through my loop (cursor) I want to restart my RowID identity property, because the next batch of valueID's should then again have a RowID starting from 1.
I tried
delete from @TempTable DBCC CHECKIDENT(@TempTable , RESEED, 0)
but I get 'Must declare the variable @TempTable table' error.
Is there a way to destroy and recreate that @TempTable variable?

I'm having difficulty bulk-copying a data file, using a format file, into a SQLServer 6.5 table with an identity column.
The data file is tab-delimited, and does not include the identity column (I want it to be automatically generated).
When I execute the following:
bcp DB1.dbo.WORK_TABLE in WorkTable.txt -Usa -P -fWorkTable.fmt -SSERVERX'
I receive this message:
Starting copy...

I've had no problems loading a similar table without the identity column.
Can anybody help? Here is the table definition & bcp format:

Hello, I have a problem. I am trying to pull data out of one system and bring it into a SQL Server database for faster retrieval. The original table does not have an identity column and has a composite primary key. The table I am inserting the data into matches the original table exactly except I have an Identity column that I need for the removal of duplicates. The task gets to the final commit and then fails telling me that it can't insert a NULL into an identity field. Why is it trying to insert a NULL, the field should be auto-populating. I did add the Identity field to the table after the SSIS package was already built, but I did go into the destination and fix the column mappings. For the Identity column I just selected the "skip" option or whatever it was. Why are the identities not being auto-inserted and why is SSIS throwing this error?
Can anyone help???
Thanks!

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2005 Mobile Edition & Merge Replication
in this I want to insert a record into table,
in that table I have taken UserID coloumn as auto incrementing Identity type.
In a book I read that,
If you are using an Identity column, you must find the next available number and reseed before an insert can be successful. You will also have to set up ranged identity columns on the published database to prevent errors when the new data is merged.
Now I want to ask here that, how should I ressed that value before inserting?????
any help in a form of CODe will be appriciated.....
thanks in advance...

I am working with a table in SQL server. I have a column that I want to designateas an identity column. I am not able to do this, because the field for "Identity Specification" is not editiable.
What I did was I went to sql server, right clicked and selected "Modify".The column properties dialog box/edit grid is then displayed with attributesthat I can modify.
There are two major nodes in this dialog box. One is named "General" and the otheris named "Table Designer". I expand the "Table Designer" node and then go to the node labeled "Identity Specification" It is here where I would like to edit thevalues.
The values that are listed for edit are listed below. BUT, the problem is thatI can place my cursor in those fields, but I am not able to change/edit them.Can anyone tell me what the problem is here? and how I can fix it?

Hello,
I have a table with an Identity Column set up. I also have an index on the table that is set to Ignore Duplicate. Identity starts at 1 and is incremented by 1.
So first 5 rows inserted get identity
1
2
3
4
5
If I insert rows that get ignored because of the index with Ignore Duplicate, it is ignored correctly. But, the next row to get inserted will have an identity value of 7.
So, even though the insert was ignored because of the index with Ignore Duplicate, the Identity column was incremented behind the scenes.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Thanks,
John
