Inserting Identity Only
Sep 27, 2007
Someone asked me the other day about creating a table with one column that is an identity field and doing an insert so they can capture the SCOPE_IDENTITY() to use across seferal tables. I've never done anything like it and it seemed trivial at the time, but I'm not seeing how to make an insert work. So, for example, we have a table defines as: DECLARE @Bar TABLE (ID INT IDENTITY(1, 1) NOT NULL)
Now, how do you write a simple insert statement that will add a row to the table?
Basicaly, this is an acedemic exercise, but I can't seem to make it work unless I add another column to the table. Any ideas? Maybe I'm not caffinated enough..? :)

I have an odd issue with a stored procedure using output parameters and a database text field.
I am using custom VB6 COM+ objects in the middle tier and SQL Server 2000 on the back end. The stored procedure has an int as it's first parameter; it is an output parameter which gets set to @@IDENTITY after the data is written to the tables. The last parameter is a text.
The COM+ object executes the proc; ADO 2.7 incorrectly identifies the text parameter as an adVarChar, so I explicitely convert it to an adLongVarChar when I detect that the incoming data is > 8000 characters.
The proc writes the data correctly to the database in all cases. However, when the data is > 8000 characters, SQL doesn't appear to correctly set the output variable. No errors are generated, I simply don't get any value written to the variable. I've searched through MS's documentation, but can't seem to find anything on this issue.
Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

Hi
I need to insert values from a text-file to a table with a primary key as identity. In the text file I have no idea of the primary key values and i get "foreign key constraint violation" when trying to import null values into the column.
How can I solve the problem? With ordinary insert-statement there is no problem since the table generates identity- key values automatically. Is there a possibility to generate identity values with DTS-import?

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?

We are in the conversion process of making the database ints.This is a change from a guid PK to an integer based PK that uses an int Identity. The program still uses the guid, and we are trying to map that guid to the databases int.We insert using TVPs passed from code. Since the identity is being set upon insert I have three things to accomplish:
1) Insert all the data into the dbo table
2) Update the parent Id in the table
3) Pass the SetsId guid, Sets_Id int, ParentSets_Id int back to the program
This is a high transaction table that will have a lot of records (millions).
--Sample table creation. There is a FK between Sets_Id to ParentSets_Id, Clustered PK on the Sets_Id
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[JSets]') AND type in (N'U'))
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[JSets](
[SetsID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[Sets_Id] bigint Identity (1,1) NOT NULL,
[code]...

I am having troubles trying to copy some rows from a table on my local computer to a table on a remote SQL Server 2005 that is being hosted by one of thos web hosting companies. The problem is that the table has an identity column. I first tried using the the following command:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [remoteservername].Library2005.dbo.tblLanguages ON
but that results in the error:
Msg 8103, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Table 'remoteservername.Library2005.dbo.tblLanguages' does not exist or cannot be opened for SET operation.
I read in another topic, that I should change this into the following:
EXECUTE [remoteservername].Library2005.dbo.sp_executesql N'SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.tblLanguages ON'
That command executes without error, but the problem is that I cannot perform the actual insert, because it is not within the execute statement. In other words, the following doesn't work:
EXECUTE [remoteservername].Library2005.dbo.sp_executesql N'SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.tblLanguages ON'
INSERT INTO [remoteservername].Library2005.dbo.tblLanguages
(colLangID, colEnglish, colGerman, colSpanish)
SELECT colLangID, colEnglish, colGerman, colSpanish FROM tblLanguages
This results in the error:
Msg 7344, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' could not INSERT INTO table '[remoteservername].[Library2005].[dbo].[tblLanguages]' because of column 'colLangID'. The user did not have permission to write to the column.
The remote server is linked correctly on my end via the sp_addlinkedserver and sp_addlinkedsrvlogin. Is there any way to force the remote server to turn IDENTITY_INSERT ON permanently and then let me execute as many INSERTS as I want and then turn it back OFF?

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...

Hi, All:Please help. I use sql server as back end and Access 2003 as front end(everything is DAO).A table on SQL server has an identity column as the key.We have trouble on adding records to this table using the following SQL.strSQL = "INSERT INTO myTableOnSQLServer (A, B, C, D, E) SELECT A, B, C, D,E FROM myTableonAccessLocal"db.execute strSQLThe schema of the table "myTableOnSQLServer" and the schema of the table"myTableonAccessLocal" are all the same except that the "myTableOnSQLServer"has an identity column (ID). The key of the "myTableOnSQLServer" is "ID" andthe table "myTableonAccessLocal" does not have a key.When we try to run the query, it gives errors indicating the key is violatedor missing.Should I figure out the autonumber for it first and then add to the SQLserver table?Many thanks,HS

I am writing an Instead of Insert trigger. I would like to fire an error when inserting into an 'Identity' column. Since UPDATE([ColumnName]) always returns TRUE for insert statements, is there an easy/fast way around this? I don't want to use:Â
IF(EXISTS(SELECT [i].[AS_ID] FROM [inserted] [i] WHERE [i].[AS_ID] IS NULL))
here is my pseudo-code...
CREATE VIEW [org].[Assets]

-- How does this statement need to be written to throw the error?
--UPDATE([AS_ID]) always returns TRUE
IF(UPDATE([AS_ID]))
RAISERROR('INSERT into the anchor identity column ''AS_ID'' is not allowed.', 16, 1) WITH NOWAIT;
-- Is there a faster/better method than this?
IF(EXISTS(SELECT [i].[AS_ID] FROM [inserted] [i] WHERE [i].[AS_ID] IS NOT NULL))
RAISERROR('INSERT into the anchor identity column ''AS_ID'' is not allowed.', 16, 1) WITH NOWAIT;
-- Do Stuff
END;
-- Should error for inserting into [AS_ID] field (which is an identity field)
INSERT INTO [org].[Assets]([AS_ID], [Tag], [Name])
VALUES(1, 'f451', 'Paper burns'),
(2, 'k505.928', 'Paper burns in Chemistry');
-- No error should occur
INSERT INTO [org].[Assets]([Tag], [Name])

Hi, I am having a bit of hassle with trying to enter details to multiple tables in SQL Server 2005.
I have four tables, an
Attendance Table (AttendanceID(PK Identity specific), MembershipNo, Date)
Resistance Table (ResistId(PK Identity specific), Weight , Reps, Sets)
Aerobics Tables(AerobicsID(PK Identity specific), MachineID, Intensity, Time)
and a linking table for all of them.... ExerciseMaster(AttendanceID,ResistanceID,AerobicsI D)
My problem is that I can insert data to each specific table by itself using seperate insert statements.....eg....
//insert an attendance record to the attendance table
string userID;
userID = Session["User"].ToString();
SqlDataSource pgpDataSource = new SqlDataSource();
pgpDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringLogin"].ToString();
pgpDataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;
pgpDataSource.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO [Attendance] ([MembershipNo], [Date]) VALUES (@MembershipNo, @Date)";
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("MembershipNo", userID);
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("Date", txtVisitDate.Text);
int RowsAffected = 0;
try
{
RowsAffected = pgpDataSource.Insert();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Server.Transfer("~/Problem.aspx");
}
finally
{
pgpDataSource = null;
}
//insert an aerobics record into the aerocibs table
SqlDataSource pgpDataSource = new SqlDataSource();
pgpDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringLogin"].ToString();
pgpDataSource.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;
pgpDataSource.InsertCommand = "INSERT INTO [Aerobics] ([MachineID], [Intensity], [ExerciseTime]) VALUES (@MachineID, @Intensity, @ExerciseTime)";
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("MachineID", rower.ToString());
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("Intensity", txtRowerLevel.Text);
pgpDataSource.InsertParameters.Add("ExerciseTime", txtRowerTime.Text);
int RowsAffected = 0;
try
{
RowsAffected = pgpDataSource.Insert();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Server.Transfer("~/Problem.aspx");
}
finally
{
pgpDataSource = null;
}
//same code as above for the resistance table
However, i am facing the problem where this does not populate the link table(ExerciseMaster) with any information as i am unable to write the relevant IDs into the table that have been auto generated by SQL Server for each of the subTables.
I have read several forums where they recommend using something called @@IDENTITY but i have no idea how or where to use this in order to fill my exercise table...
Any help would be so much appreciated.... Also, hopefully what i have said all makes sense and someone will be able to help me...oh and one more thing...this is an ASP.NET page coding in C#
Cheers

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,

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?

I 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?

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

Hi,
I am moving one database to another (different scemas) using SSIS. The destination database uses autogenerated keys. In order to preserve referential integrity I have to keep track of the keys generated when doing inserts in various tables. I use a staging table to save the keys generated by the insert command. I use this as a lookup table later on to find the foreign keys in order to link newly inserted records. The only way that I could find to get the key back after an insert was to create a Script component that does the insert and then executes "SELECT @@IDENTITY". After that I use an OLE DB Command to update the record in the staging database. Is there a better way of doing this? It seems to me that this is not a proper use of the Script component, but if I want to use OLE DB destination or OLE DB Command I cannot get the key back. Also, I am not allowed to use any stored procedures or change the destination database in any way.
