Jun 15, 2000Hi folks!
I need to populate a table having an identity field with data (basically I want to make a copy of a table with identity column on another server). When I use BCP to insert data then the values in the identity field is not the same as in the data file but gets incremented from the original.
eg. if the records in the flat file are-
1, 'test1'
2, 'test2'
Now if i insert this into the table (say the last identity value was 100) then rows get inserted as-
101, 'test1'
102, 'test2'
Is there any way by which I can retain the values of the identity column to be same as in the file?
Thanks!
Indentity Column
Feb 24, 2000when I use the code
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tss_Cable ON
go
DECLARE @@nextidentval int
SELECT @@nextidentval = MIN(IDENTITYCOL) + IDENT_INCR(tss_Cable)
FROM tss_Cable t1
WHERE IDENTITYCOL BETWEEN IDENT_SEED(tss_Cable) AND 2147483646
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tss_Cable t2
WHERE t2.IDENTITYCOL = t1.IDENTITYCOL IDENT_INCR(tss_Cable))
go
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tss_Cable OFF
I get the following error.
error line 2 Incorrect syntax near IDENT_INCR.
error line 6 incorrent syntax near IDENT_INCR.
I would like to reset the identity without droping the table. I'm using
sql 6.5. I looked at Mark Lessard 12/17/99 respose on this issue and changed
the code to match his version but the same error occured.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIndentity Insert
Jul 20, 2005I'm doing a data transfer from Access to SQL Server, I wish to keep theidentity column (autonumber) values as all the data is already related. Itried the first table append query including the identity column, it worked.Was this fluke? Will it always work? I was under the impression that I wouldhave to issue a "set identity_insert on" before doing this. The SQL databasewill have absolutely no data before the transfer routines are run.

Using The Indentity Column
Feb 22, 2008
As an example I have three tables
Table1
ChildName (nvarchar)30
ChildID (INT) Set as €˜IDENTITY€™
Table2
ParentName(nvarchar)30
ParentID (INT) Set as €˜IDENTITY€™
Table3
ChildID (INT)
ParentID (INT)
I have the following code.
Dim dbcnn As SqlClient.SqlConnection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(dbsettings.getDatabaseString)
Dim dbcmd As SqlClient.SqlCommand
dbcmd_AddDriverRoute = New SqlClient.SqlCommand("usp_Insert", dbcnn)
dbcmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
dbcmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ChildID ", cmb_child.SelectedItem)
dbcmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ParentID ", "@@IDENTITY")
dbcnn.Open()
dbcmd.ExecuteScalar()
dbcnn.Close()
basically what I want to do is when a child is added I want to be able to insert ParentID (INT) Set as €˜IDENTITY€™ value into table3 ParentID (INT) .
I have my sql statement in place I am not sure how to take an identity value stored in the db.

Is It Possible That DTS Skipped Indentity Attribut
Sep 11, 2006I imported a table using DTS.
I run SQL statements in my original server database. It works well.
But when I run the same instructions within a stored procedure in my new workstation where I improrted the table I get this error:
Server: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure InsertFichierPrix, Line 11
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Id', table 'myDBLive.dbo.FichierPrix'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
Here is the SQL statements that I run on the original Database:
insert into fichierprix(nomfichier, version, descriptionfr, typeclient,....) values(@NomFichier,'Actuelle', @NomFourFr, 'MembreAcheteur', ....)
And here is my SP that I run on the new imported database:
CREATE PROCEDURE InsertFichierPrix @NomFichier varchar(50), @NomFr varchar(50),@NomAn varchar(50)
AS
declare @NomFourFr varchar(50)
declare @NomFourAn varchar(50)
SET @NomFourFr='liste fournisseur ' + @NomFr
set @NomFourAn='liste fournisseur ' + @NomAn
insert into fichierprix(nomfichier, version, descriptionfr, typeclient,...) values(@NomFichier,'Actuelle', @NomFourFr, 'MembreAcheteur'...)
GO
And here is the execution of my Stored proc on the destination database:
execute insertfichierprix @NomFichier='myfilename2', @NomFr='fournifr1',@NomAn='Fourniang1'

Ordering Of Newly Added Indentity Value ?
Aug 1, 2007Hi There
Can anyone tell me how an identity column decides what number to give which row.
I always thought that it was in order of the clustered index.
But i have found the following:
If you have Table A with a clustered index(not unique) say on the first 3 columns.
If the table is empty and you add an identity column, then afterward load it with data the value of the identity column seems to match the clustered index.
But if the table has no identity column and it is filled with data, and then you add an identity column the number for the identity column seems to be all over the place.
So basically how does a newly added identity column know what number to give each row, what if the clustered index is not unique? Is it random ?
Thanx

Resetting Master.mdf
Aug 4, 2004Hey! I downloaded the sql engine and made a bunch of tables in visual basic. They were called new1, new2, new3, and new4. So I deleted new1.mdf, new1.ldf, new2.mdf, etc... but I notice I still can't recreate them. So I'm thinking there's remnants in master.mdf or something?? How would I go about getting rid of all the old tables, even ones whose names I've forgotten, so I can have a clean slate again? (btw I don't have sql server, just the desktop engine)

Resetting SA Password
Aug 23, 2007Hello all.
This is the best suited forum I found for my problem, if there's a better suited one please direct me.
I am running SQL Server 7.0 on Windows 2000 Server, and the SA's password has been forgotten and no other employee knows it.
I searched the net for a solution, and I found various pages describing how to reset the SA's password by logging in an administrator, connecting to the server and using a sp_password command.
For some reason, I cannot connect to the server even when I'm logged on as administrator.
Here are the steps I took:
1) I logged in as DOMAINAdministrator at my domain controller.
2) I opened Enterprise Manager and clicked on the server labeled "(LOCAL)". The server is registered to use "Windows NT authentication".
3) Received the following error:"A connection could not be established to (LOCAL) - Login failed for user 'DOMAINAdministrator'.. Please verify that SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties ... and try again". If there was an option to attach a screenshot, I would, but...
4) I have verified that SQL Server is running.
As I am new to SQL Server, I'm not sure about this, but the SQL Server is called SERVERNET, and the domain I'm logged into is called DOMAIN.
Should I login as an administrator to SERVERNET and not to DOMAIN? Is that possible? "SERVERNET" does not show on the login screen, only "DOMAIN" is listed there.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

The other solutions in SQL 2005 that use ALTER TABLE and ALTER COLUMN just don't work, I don't no Why.

Resetting Identity Values Of PKs
Sep 21, 2000What is the easiest way in T-SQL to reset the identity values of
the PK columns in a DB. Here's the scenario.
I'm going to be backing up a HUGE DB and then restoring
it to a new server. Once there I will run an SP to remove all the existing
data. The tables are now row-free. However my customer doesn't like that
the first record they add gets PK value of 5,321, or whatever.
After I remove all the data how can I reset the ids?
It would be nice to add some code to my sp_cleardb
that would go back and reset the identity columns
FYI
All of my tables use auto-incrementing identity fields with a seed of 1
1) I know how to do it in enterprise manager, but I need it in scripting
since I'll have to do it on hundreds of tables
2) I tried using alter table to drop the PK constraint, but that requires
knowing the pk constraint name, which is SQL generated and I won't know.
I think I got very close, but the code was just getting too big. I thought,
there must be an easier function to use, or a built in SP, or something?
Anyone know how to script this?
THanks in advance.

Stripping And Resetting Security
May 29, 2008Question - if you had to completely strip all permissions from all databases in an instance and reset them, assuming you have metadata to support rebuilding the permissions, what steps would you follow? I can handle the iterating through each database, but at the database level, what steps would you take?
The reason I inquire on this is I currently have a job that I inherited that does just this. But it's buggy and was also written in for SQL Server 2000. With some of the changes in 2005, a few bugs have crept in, etc. And I would like to confirm my thoughts this. Or, if your opinion is why are you wasting your time on this? Then that's fine to and I'll review any constructive comments you may have.
Report Schedule Resetting
Oct 30, 2007Greetings,
I've run into an issue that's been driving me up a wall.
Running SQL Server 2005, two instances production and development, report server on each.
I have a multiple scheduled reports on each instance, and I've over wrote the report server subscription with a SQLAgent schedule.
For whatever reason the reports on the production instance keep having their schedule reset to the subscription when the report was first created.
The logs give me a warning that the schedule is changing or deleted but it's happening when no one is around.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? or am I missing something really obvious here?
Thanks,
Erik
