Hello there,
I am having problem in modifying the identity column of a table.
Currently the identity column is seeded by 1 with an increment of 1 and DATA with these properties of the column is stored.
Now, I want to reseed the identity column with an increment of 2.
The query I am using is
ALTER TABLE XP ALTER COLUMN XP_ID BIGINT IDENTITY ( 500, 2 ) NOT NULL
Is there any one out there who can help me?
I need to populate a temporary holding table from a trigger. The contents of this table will be added to another table when the Trigger has completed processing. The id column of the temporary table will be added to the max value in the final table to create the record identifier. I used an identity field in the temporary table to accomplish this. My initial idea was to create a temp table in the code for the trigger then drop the temp table when each recursion is complete. However I got "cannot use Create table in Trigger". Then I tried to make temp table in stored proc called by trigger. Same message. Then made permanent "temp" table, and tried to Trucate table after each use. I got "Cannot use Trucate Table in Trigger". Finally I used delete from and DBCC Checkident to reseed identity. This worked in Query analyzer. I worked in VB project using ADO. However, I after deployment I was informed that VB project using RDS to make and update ADO recordsets was failing to run the trigger. After troubleshooting I was alerted that DBCC CheckIdent can only be run by table owner. Business rules prevent this. Therefore I would like to know if anyone knows any other way to reseed an identity, before I abandon this approach and start over.
Thanks for trying.
Is there a way to reseed the Identity column in SQL Server Compact Edition? The following command does not appear to work DBCC CHECKIDENT (Table_Name, RESEED, 0) and I cannot seem to TRUNCATE the table either. Not sure if table truncation is even supported.
Hi,
I am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time.
thanks.

when i alter non identity column to identity column using this Query alter table testid alter column test int identity(1,1) then i got this error message Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'identity'.
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
I have 2 identical databases. In DB1 there is no data. DB2 some of the tables have data. DB1 updates DB2 but just for demonstration purposes I need the ID fields to match (identity fields). So I ran a script to reseed all the tables in both databases.
In the database, in tables with NO records, some start at 100 and some start with 101. Help! It's driving me craz!
EXEC sp_MSforeachtable 'IF OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(''?''), ''TableHasIdentity'') = 1 BEGIN DBCC CHECKIDENT (''?'',RESEED,100) END'
Reseeding in SQL Server gets different results based on whether the table has ever had data in it.

Hi all,
The requirement is to have a table say 'child_table', with an Identity column to refer another column from a table say 'Parent_table'..
i cannot implement this constraint, it throws the error when i execute the below Alter query,
ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id)
REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
the error thrown is :
Failed to execute alter table query: 'ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT
fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id) REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE
CASCADE '. Message: java.sql.SQLException: Cascading foreign key 'fk_1_ct' cannot be
created where the referencing column 'child_table.child_id' is an identity column.
any workarounds for this ?
Hi,
I'm trying to set up merge replication and when I try to synchrinize with the subscriber I get the error "invalid column name ROWGUIDCOL". Following an article it recomended to reseed the identity columns on the subscriber so that there is no conflict. Now the tables with the identity column have the "Not for replication "option on. Using DBCC CHECKIDENT (table_name, RESEED, some_value) does not change the SEED when I check. SQL server help file remarks on DBCC CHECKIDENT say that if the column was created with the "Not for replication " option on it cannot change the value.
From sql server help file:
Remarks
If necessary, DBCC CHECKIDENT corrects the current identity value for a column. The current identity value is not corrected, however, if the identity column was created with the NOT FOR REPLICATION clause (in either the CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement).
Any way around it or any help so I dont get that "invalid column name ROWGUIDCOL" error?
Thanks allot. Looking forword

Hi guys,
If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time.
What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE
ALTER COLUMN
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE
MODIFY
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;
I have encountered an anomaly. The dbcc checkident(reseed) command behaves differently on two SQL servers.
In both cases, I am deleting from (not truncating) data in two tables, due to foreign key constraints. (I am truncating other tables, the issue is not with those tables, only with the deleted-from tables.) On one server, I need to use dbcc checkident(reseed,0) so that when I insert fresh data, it begins with identity key #1. According to MS documentation, that appears to be the correct behavior, when data has been deleted from a table, rather than truncated.
However, on the other server, I need to use dbcc checkident(reseed,1); if I use ...(reseed,0) on that server, it begins inserting data with identity key #0.
This is consistent, repeatable behavior on both servers.

Hi(SQL Server 2000)I have an existing table (t) with a column that is NOT an identity column(t.ID), but it has manually inserted "row numbers". I want to make thiscolumn become an identity column. This column is a key field to othertables, so I want to keep the row numbers that are allready inserted.From the Query Analyzer, how do I do this?Thanks in advance!Regards,Gunnar VøyenliEDB-konsulent asNORWAY

Hi to all, Using sql query i want to check whether the column is Identity column or not? Please members reply me.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHaving an identity column in target table, how do I use SQL 7 DTS ?
In Import wizard, I chose 'ignore' in source, checked Enable Indenity Insert - DTS failed with a msg like - a column cannot have NULL...
In DTS package, had Fast load and Enable Indenity checked - no luck !
Unchecked Enable identity, do luck.
What would be the standard procs for this since this sounds like a very common
senario.
What I am expecting is to insert from source and SQL would take care identity column automatically.
Appreciate your help very much !

I have a table that has a field that will not accept null values. I was trying to create a new table with a new field that would accept null values. I would then drop the original table and rename the new table. The problem is my key field has the Identity column (Autonumber) turned on. This allows the recordID to be automatically generated. Is there anyway to bypass the Identity Column feature and still keep it there future records? I already tried the "with Nocheck Clause" but does not work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedKudos to y'all! On most of my tables, I'm using a column of data type numeric and properties set as Identity with no replication. Now I know that it can handle only a length of 9 and obviously not nullable. Now by length of 9, does it mean in bytes or literal digits. If it is, then that would mean that it would reach only up to 999,999,999. What happens then if it reaches that digit?

Hi,I would like a piece of advice.I have 3 foreign keys in a table used as primary keys for this table.Is it useful in that case to have just one identity column that wouldbe used as the unique primary key, thus no need to have 3 primary keys?Advantages vs Drabacks ?Regards
View 7 Replies View RelatedHi Everyone:
I am new to Mobile programming. I am now working on a mobile project. I encounter an issue when I sync the data:
cause I can't modify the schema, so I have to use RDA instead of Merge replication on sql server 2005.
However, There is an identiy column on each table I will pull them down to local mobile database. And I will use those identity columns to connect tables. Even worse, the photo's new name will combine the photoID which is an identity column. There would an issue, if i sync data, the photoID would be same on different local mobile databases. And there would be generate same identity value when users sync data.
How can I avoid those issues? If you have any good ideas, please help me out so that I can meet the project deadline.
Thanks
