Retrieving Identity Field From Table On INSERT
Feb 29, 2008
I have 2 tables - tblOrders and tblOrderDetails. Every time an order is placed, 2 INSERT statements are executed. The first one enters the general order and customer information in the tblOrders table:INSERT INTO tblOrders (custname, custdetails, orderdate) VALUES (@custname, @custdetails, @orderdate)The primary key in this table is OrderID which is an Identity column. This is the foreign key in the tblOrderDetails table.
I'm trying to get the Identity value from the first INSERT statement to use in the second INSERT statement:INSERT INTO tblOrderDetails (orderid, productid, productcost) VALUES (@orderid, @productid, @productcost) How do i obtain this value and how would I supply it to the second INSERT statement?

While 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?
TIA,

I 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?

The following code inserts a record into a table. I now wish to retrieve the IDENTITY of that entry into a variable so that I can use it again as input for other inserts. Can someone offer assistance in handling this.... I tried several alternatives that I found on the internet but none seem to work...
Thanks!

The query below should be inserting unique records in the PropertyItem table which only has propertyitem, propertyid, and itemid columns, all of which are PK's in other tables. I'm not doing the insert correctly b/c it's inserting 72 records instead of 24. I really just want to automatically insert the values once I've inserted in the other tables but I'm not sure how. Maybe On Update Cascade?
--PROPERTYITEM
INSERT INTO [USCONDEX_Production].[dbo].[propertyItem]( [propertyId], [ItemId])
SELECT Property.propertyId, ITEM.ItemID
FROM ITEM RIGHT OUTER JOIN
miamiherald ON ITEM.StartDate = miamiherald.FirstInsertDate AND ITEM.Price = miamiherald.PropertyPrice AND ITEM.Classified = convert(int,miamiherald.AdNumber) LEFT OUTER JOIN
Property ON property.adprintid = miamiherald.adprintid
WHERE validAD=1

How can I alter a table turning ON or OFF an IDENTITY field ?
for example:
if I had my DB with Client_ID as an I IDENTITY field and for some reason it has
changed to just INT (with no IDENTITY) - how can I tell it to be IDENTITY field again ?
+
Does anyone knows an article on database planning ?
(I wanna know when should I use the IDENTITY field)

Hi, I have the lovely task of overhauling some of our SQL-based systems. I've found many tables that don't have unique identifying numbers that really should have them. I've searched around and people keep mentioning the Identity field as being similar to Autonumber in Access. The only examples I could find involved setting up a new table... but I need to add (and populate) an identity column to an existing database table. Does anyone know the command for this?
Example... my table is called PACountyTown. It currently has 3 columns: County, Town, and Area. I wish to call the identity-ish field RecordID.
Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,
I have a table X that has two columns (names have been changed to protect the guilty and innocent alike):
ID which is an identity column, and
Data which is a varchar.
I am trying to DTS data from a text file into this table. I want the identity column ID to auto-populate and each row of information from the file to be stored in the Data field.
I am creating the DTS package using the wizard in Enterprise Mgr. No matter what I try, I keep getting the following error:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table 'X'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
Any advice on what I need to do to get this working? It seems like such a simple thing and I'm getting very frustrated. :eek:
Thanks in advance.

I just created a new table with over 100 Columns and I need to populated just the first 2 columns.
The first columns to populate is an identify column that is the primary key. The second column is a foreign_key to an other column and I am trying to populate this columns with all the values from the foreign_key value. This is what I am trying to do.
column1 = ID
column2= P_CLIENT_D
SET IDENTITY_INSERT PIM1 ON
INSERT INTO PIM1 (P_CLIENT_ID)
SELECT
Client.ID
FROMP_Client
So I am trying to insert both an identity values and a value from an other table while leaving the other columns blank. How do I go about doing this.

I'm sure this is a common problem but I can't find any relevant info on this site
I have a table that I would like to insert values into. I want to take the values from a secondary table using a select statement.
e.g. a simplified version...
TABLE1
(
Id INTEGER IDENTITY,
UserName VARCHAR(50),
Description VARCHAR(50)
)
TABLE 2
(
UserName VARCHAR(50),
Description VARCHAR(50)
)
Runing the insert statement
INSERT Table1 (UserName, Description)
SELECT *
FROM TABLE2
results in the error
erver: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 2
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Id', table 'CDS_Live.dbo.Table1'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
I was under the impression that an identity column would be automatically inserted by SQL server. Now I know I could write a piece of anonymous Transact SQL which declares a cursor by selecting all rows from table 2 and inserting rows into table 1 on a row by row basis, but is there any way I could do the Insert with a single INSERT statement?
thanks

I'm currently using Oracle sequence and doingsomething like:select seq.nextval from dual;Then I do my insert into 3 different table all using the same uniqueID.I can't use the @@identity function because my application uses aconnection pool and it's not garanteed that a connection won't be usedby another request so under a lot of load there could be major problemsand this doens't work:insert into <table>;select @@identity;This doesn't work because the select @@identity might give me the valueof an insert from someone else's request.Thanks,Brent

Hello, I have a problem. I am trying to pull data out of one system and bring it into a SQL Server database for faster retrieval. The original table does not have an identity column and has a composite primary key. The table I am inserting the data into matches the original table exactly except I have an Identity column that I need for the removal of duplicates. The task gets to the final commit and then fails telling me that it can't insert a NULL into an identity field. Why is it trying to insert a NULL, the field should be auto-populating. I did add the Identity field to the table after the SSIS package was already built, but I did go into the destination and fix the column mappings. For the Identity column I just selected the "skip" option or whatever it was. Why are the identities not being auto-inserted and why is SSIS throwing this error?
Can anyone help???
Thanks!

I'm using transactions with my SqlConnection ( sqlConnection.BeginTransaction() ).
I do an Insert into my User table, and then subsequently use the
generated identity ( via @@identity ) to make an insert into another
table. The foreign key relationship is dependant on the generated
identity. For some reason with transactions, I can't retrieve the
insert identity (it always returns as 1). However, I need the
inserts to be under a transaction so that one cannot succeed while the
other fails. Does anyone know a way around this problem?
So heres a simplefied explanation of what I'm trying to do:
Begin Transaction
Insert into User Table
Retrieve Inserted Identity (userID) via @@Identity
Insert into UserContact table, using userID as the foreign key.
Commit Transaction.
Because of the transaction, userID is 1, therefore an insert cannot be
made into the UserContact table because of the foreign key constraint.
I need this to be a transaction in case one or the other fails. Any ideas??

I am having issues getting this to work. I have the user login to a page to
put in a request for vacation. When they login, I have a label that isn't
visible that is equal to their User.Identity.Name.
I select the user from the employee table where the username = the label User
Identity Name and pull in the emp_id which is the primary key that identifies
the user.
I need to insert the request into the request table with the emp_id from the
select statement, without showing the em_id on the screen. I tried using a
hidden field and assigning the emp_id as the value, but it isn't working.
Not sure if this is the best way to do this. Really new to ASP.NET 2.0 so I
really appreciate any help.

I have a problem described as follows: I have a table with one instead of insert trigger:
create table TMessage (ID int identity(1,1), dscp varchar(50))
GO
Alter trigger tr_tmessage on tmessage
instead of insert
as
--Set NoCount On
insert into tmessage
[code]....
When I execute P1 it returns 0 for Id field of @T1.
How can I get the Identity in this case?
PS: I can not use Ident_Current or @@identity as the table insertion hit is very high and can be done concurrently.Also there are some more insertion into different tables in the trigger code, so can not use @@identity either.

I have the following query in sql 2005:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[uspInsert_Blob] (
@fName varchar(60),
@fType char(5),
@fID numeric(18, 0),
@bID char(3),
@fPath nvarchar(60)

DECLARE @QUERY VARCHAR(2000)
SET @QUERY = "INSERT INTO tblDocTable(FileName, FileType, ImportExportID, BuildingID, Document)

AS Document"
EXEC (@QUERY)
This puts some values including a pdf or .doc file into a table, tblDocTable.
Is it possible to change this so that I can get the values from a table rather than as parameters. The Query would be in the form of: insert into tblDocTable (a, b, c, d) select a,b,c,d from tblimportExport.
tblImportExport has the path for the document (DocPath) so I would subsitute that field, ie. DocPath, for the @fPath variable.
Otherwise I can see only doing a Fetch next from tblIportExport where I would put every field into a variable and then run this exec query on these. Thus looping thru every row in tblImportExport.
Any ideas how to do this?

Hello!I use a procedure to insert a new row into a table with an identitycolumn. The procedure has an output parameter which gives me theinserted identity value. This worked well for a long time. Now theidentity value is over 700.000 and I get errors whiles retrieving theinserted identitiy value. If I delete rows and reset the identityeverything works well again. So I think it is a data type problem.My Procedure:create procedure InsertProduct@NEWID int outputasbeginset nocount oninsert into PRODUCT(D_CREATED)values(getdate()+'')set nocount offselect @NEWID = @@IDENTITYendMy C# code:SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand("InsertProduct", sqlCon);comm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;comm.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@NEWID",System.Data.SqlDbType.Int)).Direction =System.Data.ParameterDirection.Output;try{SqlDataReader sqlRead = comm.ExecuteReader();object o = comm.Parameters["@NEWID"].Value;//...}catch ( Exception ex ){throw ex;}The object o is alwaya System.DbNull. I also tried to use bigint.Any hints are welcomeCiaoSusanne

I'm at loss how I'm supposed to work with typed datasets and Sql Server Compact 3.5, when inserting records and I need to update my datatables with the primary key of newly inserted rows.
I've tried adding a RowUpdated handler to all tableadapters that look like this:
Code Snippet
void Adapter_RowUpdated(object sender, System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeRowUpdatedEventArgs e) {
if(e.Status == UpdateStatus.Continue && e.StatementType == StatementType.Insert) {
if(e.Row.Table.PrimaryKey.Length > 0) {
SqlCeCommand selectIdentityCommand = new SqlCeCommand("SELECT @@IDENTITY",e.Command.Connection);
if(e.Command.Connection.State == ConnectionState.Open) {
e.Row[e.Row.Table.PrimaryKey[0].Ordinal] = (int)selectIdentityCommand.ExecuteScalar();
}
}
}
I've previously used this type of approach when working with an OleDbDatabase, which works just fine. But it doesn't work with Sql Server CE 3.5, and since it doesn't support stored procedures I can't fix it that way either. And it doesn't support commands in a batch (i.e appending the Insert command of the adapter with ";SELECT @@IDENTITY") so that doesn't work either...
So how are we supposed to use Sql Server CE 3.5? It's impossible together with datasets? Or am I missing something obvious?
Any hints would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Cheers!
