Hello friends,
I am using sql server 2005. In some tables to create the column Autoincrement I had set the 'Idetity Specification' property to 'Yes'. I want to know that how can we do it through sql scripts i.e. by writing query.
Please let me know
Thanks & RegardsGirish Nehte
Hi,
I have a VB script that I am using to run various DTS procedures. One of these involves using DataPumpTransformCopy to copy data from one table to another. The destination table has an Identity field that I would like to disable for the duration of the Transform.
I have tried opening a Command Object and running the "SET IDENTITY_INSERT" function beofre and after the Transform but although it doesn't produce any errors it doesn't seem to actually do anything...
I figure I need to try using the ALTER TABLE to disable the IDENTITY but I can't find an example of how to do this anywhere.. can anyone help me out here?
Many Thanks,
Seoras
I assume that the identity property is stored within a given database, so there should be no need to run dbcc checkident after restoring from a backup. Is this a correct assumption?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
Please let me know if it is possible to replicate a table with identity property defined in it. Both the publisher and subscriber tables have identity property defined. Which option should be used while setting up transactional replication to allow the identity values at the publisher pushed to the subscriber, which also has identity property defined? Not for replication option with the identity property also fails. Whichever option I choose I get the error, 'An explicit value for the identity column in table 'jobs_id_nfr' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.' This works only if the identity property is not defined at the subscriber. But, I need to have the identity property defined at the subscriber also because the subscriber should be an exact copy of production.
Thanks in advance,

Has anybody ever tried to do this. I can't figure it out. All I want to do is take an existing table that already has values in the column that I want to change and add the identity property to yes and set the identity seed and increment to a specific number. I know you can do it in the CREATE TABLE statement but is there a way to use the ALTER TABLE command?

Have anyone faced the timeout issue when setting a IDENTITY property of a column to NO.
Is there any way to resolve it ?
Note : The table on which I'm doing the operation is having approx 50 million records.
Thanks,
Hariarul.
I get the below error :
'TrnBillDetail' table
- Unable to modify table.
Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
Is there any way to remove IDENTITY property on particular table? I tried removing IDENTITY property using Manangement studio, but this operation behind the scene use migration concept that is by creating tmp table and then populating with data; droping the orginal and renaming the tmp back to original.
Second, i want some kind of generic solution using certain system table like aya.sysobjects, sys.identitycolumn etc such a way that i should be able to remove the idenity property from all of the table accross a database.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
Ok,I just need to know how to get the last record inserted by the highestIDENTITY number. Even if the computer was rebooted and it was twoweeks ago. (Does not have to do with the session).Any help is appreciated.Thanks,Trint
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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

Jack NULL
Tim NULL
Can anyone help me please with the query?

Shows whether the data type of the selected column can be determined with certainty. (Applies only to Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or later.)
This is what Microsoft documentation says for this column property. How I can use his feature for database application development? What is the practical use of this property?
