Using ALTER To Remove An IDENTITY Setting?
Mar 9, 2001Hi,
I have been trying to figure out how to use ALTER TABLE/ COLUMN to modify a column from an IDENTITY column to one which is not an IDENTITY column.
I would like to do this so that I could add another column (using ALTER) and set it as the IDENTITY column.
Any thoughts?
Your help is much appreciated,

Last GASP On Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back ?
Jul 9, 2006While 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?

Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back
Jun 30, 2006I 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, 2014I'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 Remove The Sqlcachedependancy ?
Feb 23, 2007I had sqlcachedependancy installed. But now I cannot uninstall it?
1. I unregistered:
C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727>aspnet_regsql.exe -E -S localhost-d DNN1 -dd
2. I remove the Dependencry.Start() from my application_start
' System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDependency.Start(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("SiteSqlServer").ConnectionString)
3. I removed the cache section from my web.config
4. I removed the outputcache statements from my aspx pages.
<!--<%@ OutputCache Duration="1" VaryByParam="*" SqlDependency="CommandNotification" %>-->
However, I still get the next error:
File
Error
When using SqlDependency without providing an options value, SqlDependency.Start() must be called prior to execution of a command added to the SqlDependency instance.
What to do?
Any help or advice is appreciated.

Remove Trailing Zero
Jun 11, 2008Would someone mind helping me with formatting a string please??
I have a column DECIMAL(4,2). In a stored proc I am selecting this field and converting it to varchar so I can append certain characters to it (this is really irrelevant to my question). However, before appending the characters, I need to remove zeros after the decimal point.
Examples:
3.00 should be 3
3.20 should be 3.2
3.05 should be 3.05
etc

How To Remove 1:1 Relationships
Sep 12, 2007I have an asset schema problem which I'm not too sure how to resolve....
I have an asset table which stores values common to all asset types. I have created seperate asset type tables(VehicleAssetDetail, PropertyAssetDetail, InvestmentAssetDetail) to store their specific details.
This in turn creates 1:1 relationships between "Asset" table and the respective detail tables.
If I were to store all the details in the "Asset" table it would cause a lot of redundancy bearing in my mind there are about four other asset type details I have excluded from the schema.
Are the 1:1 relationships bad? If they are, how do I resolve them without throwing all the columns from the asset details tables into the Asset table?
Attached is a 15Kb gif image of the schema. I'd really appreciate any help with this... :)
Thanks.
