Replication Fails With Primary Key Violation Error
Jun 7, 1999
I have a publication that has been working great for over eight months. I have on occassion had to stop publishing and stop subscribing in normal operation without problems.
Yesterday, I ran into a problem that I am not sure how to solve.
I keep getting a distribution task failure "Violation of Primary Key constraint 'aaaashipm_pk'. Attempt to insert duplicate key in object shipm failed while bulk copying into shipm
Anyone run across this or have any suggestions -- do I have a transaction log problem, distribution data base/log problem. I have checked the identity column to make sure its not out of sync, run a check on the table to make sure its not corrupted. I have a couple of other things I am trying but was curious if anyone else had come across this?
Will let you know if I find a solution but it doesn't look good.
hi, I am trying to save the record which is displayed in the textbox by selecting a row in the datagrid. If i click the save button I am getting the following error. Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_clientinfo'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'clientinfo'. The statement has been terminated. button save----------- conn.Open(); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into clientinfo (client_name, address, telephone, fax, email, contperson1, dept, contpos1, contperson2, contpos2, rscompname, rscontperson, rsposition, actdate, acttime, instsno, actkey) values ('"+txtclientname.Text+"', '"+txtaddress.Text+"', '"+txttelephone.Text+"', '"+txtfax.Text+"', '"+txtemail.Text+"', '"+txtcntperson1.Text+"', '"+txtdept.Text+"', '"+txtcnt1pos.Text+"', '"+txtcntperson2.Text+"', '"+txtcnt2pos.Text+"', '"+txtcompname.Text+"', '"+txtrscntperson.Text+"', '"+txtrspos.Text+"', '"+txtactdate.Text+"', '"+txtacttime.Text+"','"+txtinstno.Text+"', '"+txtactkey.Text+"')", conn); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); conn.Close(); BindData(); txtclear(); }
On a regular basis, it seems that the primary key of my table gets corrupted and I get the error message below. I can still read the data but no longer update or insert. There is no reason why there should be such error. I fix it by creating a temporary table and copying the data accross, then renaming the table, but I would rather prevent it. Any thought on this??

I've recently migrated a SQL 2000 db to SQL 2005. There is a table with a defined primary key. In 2000 when I try importing a duplicate record my application would continue and just skip the duplicates. In 2005 I get an error message "Cannot insert duplicate key row in object ... with unique index..." Is there a setting that I can enable/disable to ignore and continue processing when these errors are encountered? I've read a little on "fail package on step failure" but not quite clear on it. Any tips? Thanks alot
I've read a few different articticles wrt how the handle this error gracefully. I am thinking of wrapping my sql insert statement in a try catch and have the catch be something likeIF ( e.ToString() LIKE '% System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_PS_HR_Hrs'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object %'){lable1.text = "Sorry, you already have reported hours for that day, please select anothe rdate" } Is there a better way?TIA Dan
I have a table with 5 columns .Length of the 2nd column is 4 characters. I have to create a new database and copy the existing data.Alter the 2nd column to have 6 charactrers. Append the values in 2nd column with 00. I have only one row in the old database. I am able to copy the rows.But after that when I try to update,it is giving primary key violation error. What could be the reason?
I keep getting a Attempt to insert duplicate key row in object... when I try to add a record. I know for a fact that the primary key is not being duplicated because I can look in the db and see that it is not there and if I continue to try to add it it will eventually succeed. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Hi, I have got a very peculier kind of problem. My package is running on SQL 2000. There is a identity primary key in a table. Now when I submit the data from 2 different computer at the same time. Only one data is storing. The reason behind this is the primary key violation. as both the data are sending the request to the database at the same time.................n as the primary key is th identity column, it is storing one that value which is able to store the data at the forst hand. Now plz help me out in this regard................. :confused:

Dear Friends, I am a DBA and I am getting a lot of table locks due to unhandled errors in front-end developed by Power Builder, 5 years back. The backend is SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition. Below I will explain the problem in detail.
The Big Problem. { Ø Users enter sales data into rm_salehdr (docid,..,..,..) table (LOCKED) Ø The rm_salehdr table need a new docid Ø The new docid will be generated by a function called as docnogen Ø The docnogen function o will select the last docid from ps_docno table o add 1 to last value o return docid to rm_salehdr o update the last docid with the new value. o ps_docno table will hold the lock till the insert transaction of rm_salehdr will saved. (LOCKED) Ø If insert into rm_salehdr commit then the insert into ps_docno will be commit. (LOCK Released) Ø If insert into rm_salehdr rolled back then insert into ps_docno will be rolled back. Ø (LOCK Released)
}
The Bigger Problem { Ø At the same time if another spid select the last docno and completes it transaction before the first transaction then Primary key Violation will arise. Ø While inserting into rm_salehdr if a user get a error due to primary key violation then user will popped up with a message box explaining the primary key violation error. Ø If the user does not click the OK button then the transaction will not be ended and LOCK on the table will not released from rm_salehdr. Ø The LOCK on ps_docno will also be continued. }
The Biggest Problem {
Ø My client doesn€™t want to modify the front-end, it is very expensive for them and deployment to remote site is also a problem for them. Ø They want me to handle it from the backend. }
Is it possible that to handle the error message and release the lock on rm_salehdr from backend.
Commit the data first in ps_docno so lock will be released I want your valuable suggestions and advice.
I need to find out which record I am violating by trying to execute this stored procedure
ALTER PROCEDURE InsertCorovan2004 AS INSERT INTO [GamingCommissiondb].[dbo].[Corovan_Table] ([TM #], [FirstName], [LastName], [SS #], [TerminationDate], [Voluntary or Involuntary])
SELECT [TM #], FirstName, LastName, SocialSecurityNumber, TerminationDate, VoluntaryorInvoluntary FROM dbo.TERMINATION WHERE (TerminationDate BETWEEN CONVERT(DATETIME, '2004-01-31 00:00:00', 102) AND CONVERT(DATETIME, '2004-12-31 00:00:00', 102))
GO
when I execute it I get this error message Server: Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Procedure InsertCorovan2004, Line 3 Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_Corovan_Table'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'Corovan_Table'. The statement has been terminated. Stored Procedure: GamingCommissiondb.dbo.InsertCorovan2004 Return Code = -4
I am trying to insert 2004 terms into the corovan table from TERMINATION table. How do you find out what records match from each table (compare the tables reocords for dups). How would I do this in the query analyzer since thats mainly what I use. I get a better understanding of how to create proceudure in the query analyzer so I;d rather stick to it.
In short I need to find the Culprit record that is preventing me from insert the 2004 records
I know what this error means is that you can not insert duplicate primary keys in the table but the thing is I am checking the rows if they do not exist then insert otherwise don't do any thing these are the lines I am writing in my strored procedure can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong here.
If not exists (Select * From GGP WHERE FFECTIVE_DATE =@v_EFFECTIVE_DATE AND ASSET_ID= @v_ASSET_ID AND ASSET_TYPE = @v_ASSET_TYPE AND Value = @v_Value AND hour = @v_Hour)
INSERT INTO GGP (ASSET_ID,ASSET_TYPE,Hour,Value,EFFECTIVE_DATE) values(@v_ASSET_ID,@v_ASSET_TYPE,@v_Hour,@v_Value, @v_EFFECTIVE_DATE)
The exact error is Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_SP_GGP'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object
When I try to insert data into a table (let's just call it MyTable for this post), I suddenly get the following error.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_MyTable'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'MyTable'.
My table does have a primary key field named 'id', which is an auto-incrementing BIGINT. The last record I successfully inserted received 14 in the id field, so I'm assuming the database is trying to assign 15 to the next. Unfortunately, there is already a record with an id of 15; the next available id is 21.
Is there a way to avoid these primary key collisions?
I'm trying to insert records into a table and getting the below error and not sure how to resolve it:
Server: Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_propertyItem'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'propertyItem'. The statement has been terminated.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_tbl_others. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'tbl_others. The statement has been terminated.-- What does it mean i cant load the data to tbl_others
When replication merge, is taking place between two servers on one particular table I keep getting violation of primary key constraint, Does anyone out there have a fix for this?
I've a set of source tables on one server and a set of destination tables on another. When I move data from one server to next, I get an error saying "Violation of Primary Key Constraint". This happens for only one table among the 6 tables that I have. I dont understand why it throws me this error. Though theres an error for this table, the data from source table moves into this destination table.

Executing the query "BACKUP DATABASE [msdb] TO DISK = N'd:Sql backups..." failed with the following error: "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__backupse__21F79AAB7WERB85D3'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.backupset'. The duplicate key value is (16771).Could not insert a backup or restore history/detail record in the msdb database. This may indicate a problem with the msdb database. The backup/restore operation was still successful.

I am running merg replication (pull) between 7 various sites and once in a while when two people update information in a table in close proximty in time, I will get a primary key violation when viewing conflicts, it's almost excluslively in one table. What is the best way to handle this error. Should I delete the entire column on the subscriber and let the publisher update the subscriber? Or should I redesing the table and primary keys? Any assistance in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
I have a SQLDataSource bound to a DetailsView. In which event would I catch a Primary Key violation? Would be an event of the SQLDataSource or the DetailsView? And which particular event? A small example would be great. Thx.
In my SSIS package i am loading data from 1 source database to 2 targets database, both targets have same structure and datatype.
My package is working fine for 1 target  database but for 2 nd database its giving error "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint" but where as primary key constraint is not violating .
Cannot find an answer to this in previous posting, though there are similar topics.
My primary key "ID" requires a value (is not nullable), and not explictly providing it with one when I update a new record gives the following error:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table 'AdClub.mediaq.News'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table 'AdClub.mediaq.News'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
However, trying to stuff that field with a recordCount+1 value (or any value), I get this error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'Primary Key'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'News'. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'Primary Key'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'News'.
Cannot figure this one out. The value I'm providing for that field is known to be unique, but the SQL Server spits it out each time.
Is there a way to have the ID primary field automatically update with a new value when a new record is generated? This is how I used to do it in Access, but cannot find a similar feature in SQL Server. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but right now I'm stuck in this "Catch-22" situation.
the point here that i have a small table with two fileds, ID (guid) as primerykey RAF(char) and the table is empty when i add a new row i recieve this exception, Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_tblType'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.tblType'. i found no way to solve the problem. thanks in advans
I 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.
I have a SQL server scheduled to replication. This works fine if it has to do that one the sever on the same mechine. If it has to be done to another server, the replication fails with the following error message.
