PRIMARY Key Cannot Have Duplicate Value
Jan 27, 20151.) Would you agree if I said that the MPOG_CASE_ID is the one and only primary key in this table ?
2.) I thought the PRIMARY key can not have duplicate values .... Correct me if you disagree ?

BCP And Duplicate Primary Keys
Sep 10, 1998Hi All,
I`m using BCP to import ASCII data text into a table that already has many records. BCP failed because of `Duplicate primary key`.
Now, is there any way using BCP to know precisely which record whose primary key caused that `violation of inserting duplicate key`.
I already used the option -O to output error to a `error.log`, but it doesn`t help much, because that error log contains the same error message mentioned above without telling me exactly which record so that I can pull that `duplicate record` out of my import data file.
TIA and you have a great day.

Lookup Allows Duplicate Primary Key
Aug 13, 2004I have a Transform Data Task that copies a lot of data from my source system. Unfortunately, I cannot use a DISTINCT in the SQL from the source system, due to a very poor ODBC driver!
So, when I am creating my primary key, I am trying to do a lookup on the PK column before I insert the record to see if it exists. If it does, then I skip the row. The lookup references the target database of the task.
The problem I have is that the lookup doesn't find any duplicates loaded from the database. It allows them through and causes the database to throw a primary key error.
Has anyone experienced this, or think they know what I'm doing wrong?
Duplicate Row Excluding Primary Key
Jul 6, 2007I am trying to duplicate a row in a table and this is the solution I came up with:
CREATE PROC duplicate_row(@my_primary_key)
AS
DECLARE @sql_stmt varchar(MAX)
SET @sql_stmt = 'INSERT INTO My_Table('
SELECT@sql_stmt = @sql_stmt + COLUMN_NAME + ','
FROMINFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERETABLE_NAME = 'My_Table'
ANDCOLUMN_NAME NOT IN ('my_primary_key','title')
SET @sql_stmt = @sql_stmt + 'title) SELECT '
SELECT@sql_stmt = @sql_stmt + COLUMN_NAME + ','
FROMINFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
WHERETABLE_NAME = 'My_Table'
ANDCOLUMN_NAME NOT IN ('my_primary_key','title')
SET @sql_stmt = @sql_stmt +' title+''_copy'' AS title FROM My_Table WHERE my_primary_key = '+LTRIM(STR(@my_primary_key))
EXEC(@sql_stmt)
However this stored proc is horrifically slow. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a better way to accomplish this.

Duplicate Primary Key Error
Mar 14, 2008Hi,
I get the following error when I try to insert a stored procedure in an SQL-server.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Login'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'Login'.
My question if this is the real problem or the symtom of something else? I find it hard to believe that try to insert double key values. The table Login doesn´t contain any values.
Thanks in advance!

Finding Primary Key Value(s) Having Duplicate Row Information
Feb 23, 2001Hi,
I am putting my problem in an example as I Feel it would be clear.
Assume my table PEOPLE is having 4 columns with 6 rows, the SlNo being primary key.
SlNo Name LastName birthdate
1 A B x --
2 C B x |-- 1 pair (A, B, x)
3 D E y --|------------
4 A E y | |
5 A B x __| |-- 2'nd pair (D, E, y)
6 D E y ---------------
In this scenario, I need to find SlNo values having similar values in other columns. The o/p for above must be:
1
5
0
3
6
0 (0 needs to include in output for distinction in the sets)
(a)IS THIS POSSIBLE TO DO IN ONE SELECT STATEMET? and HOW?
(b)If I create another temp table tempPEOPLE and select distinct row information of the 2'nd, 3'rd and 4'th columns from the PEOPLE table and
then selecting SlNo's where the information match, I am able to get o/p
1
5
3
6
without 0...and I cannot makeout the distinct sets in this.
HOW DO I FIND THE DISTINCTION IN SETS?

Duplicate Entry In A Primary Key Field
Jul 10, 2007Hi everybody couldn't get through with saving my data on the table with two primary keys...
my table structure is this
pubidintUnchecked (primary key)
pubchar(1)Unchecked
publchar(1)Unchecked
pubcodechar(2)Unchecked (primary key)
a sample data is here
pubid pub publ pubcode
1 a b ab
1 b b bb
2 a b ab
2 b b bb
when i save this table modifying the pubid and pubcode as primary keys the following error displays...
Unable to create index 'PK_PUBS3'.
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX terminated because a duplicate key was found for index ID 1. Most significant primary key is '51'.
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
The statement has been terminated.
what i understand is that on the primary key duplicates are not allowed how could i allow it?
thanks
Delete Duplicate Records Without Primary Key
Feb 5, 2012I want to delete the duplicate record from a table keeping 1 record aside.
My base table is-info
idnameclass
2abc6a

4abc6a
4abc6a
3abc6a
3abc6a
1abc6a
2abc6a
5abc6a
id-int
name-text
class-varchar
(there is no primary key in this table)
Now I want the result in following way:
idnameclass
2abc6a
3abc6a
4abc6a

I have tried the following query and its running fine but its not a dynamic stuff.
DELETE top (SELECT COUNT(*)-1 FROM aaa WHERE id ='3') --or put some number
FROM aaa
WHERE id ='3'-- or put some number
Ignore Duplicate Primary Keys
Mar 27, 2008I have one table that stores log messages generated by a web service. I have a second table where I want to store just the distinct messages from the first table. This second table has two columns one for the message and the second for the checksum of the message. The checksum column is the primary key for the table.
My query for populating the second table looks like:
INSERT INTO TransactionMessages ( message, messageHash )
SELECT DISTINCT message, CHECKSUM( message )
FROM Log
WHERE logDate BETWEEN '2008-03-26 00:00:00' AND '2008-03-26 23:59:59'
AND NOT EXISTS (
SELECT * FROM TransactionMessages
WHERE messageHash = CHECKSUM( Log.message ) )
I run this query once per day to insert the new messages from the day before. It fails when a day has two messages that have the same checksum. In this case I would like to ignore the second message and let the query proceed. I tried creating an instead of insert trigger that only inserted unique primary keys. The trigger looks like:
IF( NOT EXISTS(
SELECT TM.messageHash
FROM TransactionMessages TM, inserted I
WHERE TM.messageHash = I.messageHash
) )
BEGIN
INSERT INTO TransactionMessages ( messageHash, message )
SELECT messageHash, message FROM inserted
END
That didn't work. I think the issue is that all the rows get committed to the table at the end of the whole query. That means the trigger cannot match the duplicate primary key because the initial row has not been inserted yet.
Does anyone know the best way to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Drew

SQL Server 2008 :: Violation Of Primary Key Constraints - Cannot Insert A Duplicate Key In Object
Sep 8, 2013I have table variable in which I am inserting data from sql server database. I have made one of the columns called repaidID a primary key so that a clustered index will be created on the table variable. When I run the stored procedure used to insert the data. I have this error message; Violation of Primary key Constraint. Cannot insert duplicate primary key in object. The value that is causing this error is (128503).
I have queried the repaidid 128503 in the database to see if it is a duplicate but could not find any duplicate. The repaidID is a unique id normally use by my company and does not have duplicates.

View 10 Replies View RelatedCREATE TABLE DUPLICATE OBJECT/DUPLICATE FIELD NAME ERROR Msg 2714
Oct 2, 2007Hello Everyone:
I am using the Import/Export wizard to import data from an ODBC data source. This can only be done from a query to specify the data to transfer.
When I try to create the tables, for the query, I am getting the following error:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 4, Line 12
There is already an object named 'UserID' in the database.

I have duplicated this error with the following script:

DROP TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1]
CREATE TABLE [testing].[dbo].[users1] (
[UserID] bigint NOT NULL,

I have searched the "2714 duplicate error msg," but have found references to duplicate table names, rather than multiple field names or column name duplicate errors, within a database.
I think that the schema is only allowing a single UserID primary key.
How do I fix this?

The Package Contains Two Objects With The Duplicate Name - Package Created In UI - Duplicate Columns
Aug 17, 2007I've begun to get the above error from my package. The error message refers to two output columns.
Anyone know how this could happen from within the Visual Studio 2005 UI? I've seen the other posts on this subject, and they all seemed to be creating the packages in code.
Is there any way to see all of the columns in the data flow? Or is there any other way to find out which columns it's referring to?
Thanks!
Auto Incremented Integer Primary Keys Vs Varchar Primary Keys
Aug 13, 2007Hi,
I have recently been looking at a database and wondered if anyone can tell me what the advantages are supporting a unique collumn, which can essentially be seen as the primary key, with an identity seed integer primary key.
For example:
id [unique integer auto incremented primary key - not null],
ClientCode [unique index varchar - not null],
name [varchar null],
surname [varchar null]
isn't it just better to use ClientCode as the primary key straight of because when one references the above table, it can be done easier with the ClientCode since you dont have to do a lookup on the ClientCode everytime.
Regards
Mike

View 2 Replies View Related4 Key Primary Key Vs 1 Key 'artificial' Primary Key
Jan 28, 2004Hi all
I have the following table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[property_instance] (
[property_instance_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[application_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[owner_id] [nvarchar] (100) NOT NULL ,
[property_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[owner_type_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[property_value] [ntext] NOT NULL ,
[date_created] [datetime] NOT NULL ,
[date_modified] [datetime] NULL
)
I have created an 'artificial' primary key, property_instance_id. The 'true' primary key is application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id
In this specific instance
- property_instance_id will never be a foreign key into another table
- queries will generally use application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id in the WHERE clause when searching for a particular row
- Once inserted, none of the application_id, owner_id, property_id or owner_type_id columns will ever be modified
I generally like to create artificial primary keys whenever the primary key would otherwise consist of more than 2 columns.
What do people think the advantages and disadvantages of each technique are? Do you recommend I go with the existing model, or should I remove the artificial primary key column and just go with a 4 column primary key for this table?
Thanks Matt

Duplicate Key Ignored
Mar 22, 2006I have a stored procedure that inserts records into a table with a Unique Clustered Index with ignore_Dup_Key ON.
I can run the stored procedure fine, and get the message that duplicate keys were ignored, and I have the unique data that I want.
When I try to execute this in a DTS package, it stops the package execution because an error message was returned.
I have tried setting the fail on errors to OFF, but this has no effect.
I found the bug notification that says this was corrected with service pack 1, and have now updgraded all the way to service pack 4, and still get the issue.
I tried adding the select statement as described as a work-around in the bug, and still can't get it past the DTS.
I have verified the service pack, re-booted, etc.....
I am trying this in MSDE 2000a.
Thoughts or comments? Thanks!
