SQL 2012 :: Get Identity Column Value When Update Statement Fails

Sep 9, 2015

My current proc updates(updates using joins of two or three tables) millions of records as per the condition provided for each department.

However, when the proc fails it writes to a ErrorTable, ERROR_MESSAGE(), ERROR_SEVERITY() and which department has failed.

Since the records are updated keeping the selected departments in loop, I get the department in a temp variable.

Now, I was asked to log the specific record where the failure was occured.

Something like log the identity column value or primary key value which record has failed.

SQL Server 2012 :: Delete / Recreate Identity Column / Fetch Newly Created Values In Update Statement?

Jul 25, 2015

I have a four tables called plandescription, plandetail and analysisdetail. The table plandescription has the columns DetailQuestionID which is the primary and identity column and a QuestionDescription column.

The table plandetail consists of the column PlanDetailID which the primary and identity column, DetailQuestionID which is the foreign key attribute of plandescription table and a planID column.

The third table analysisdetail consists of a analysisID which the primary and identity column, PlanDetailID which is the foreign key attribute of plandetail table and a scenario.

Below is the schema of the three tables

I have a two web form that will insert, update and delete data into these three tables in a two transaction. One web form will perform CRUD operations in plandescription and plandetail table. When the user inserts QuestionDescription and planid in this web form, I will insert the QuestionDescription Value in the plandescription table and will generate a DetailQuestionID value and this value is fed to the plandetail table with the planid. Here I will generate a PlanDetailID.

Once this transaction is done, I will show the second web form in which the user enters the scenario and this will be mapped with the plandescription using the PlanDetailID.

This schema cannot be changes as this is the client requirement. When I insert values I don’t have any problem. However when I update existing data, I need to delete existing PlanDetailID in the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID data for that DetailQuestionID and planID. This is because, the user will be adding or deleting a planID associated with the QuestionDescription.

Once I recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID and planID, I need to update the old PlanDetailID with the new PlanDetailID in the third table analysisdetail for the associated analysisID.

I created a #Temp table called #DetailTable to insert the values analysisID, planid and old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID so that I can have them in update statement once I delete the data from plandetail table for that PlanDetailID.

Then I deleted the plandetailid from the plandetail table and recreate PlanDetailID for that DetailQuestionID. During my recreation I fetched the new PlanDetailID’s created into another temp table called #InsertedRows

After this I am running a while loop to update the temp table #DetailTable with the newly created PlanDetailID for the appropriate planID’s. The problem is here. When I have the same number of planID’s for example 2 planID’s 1,2 I will have only two old PlanDetailID and new PlanDetailID for that planID and analysisID.But When I add a new PlanID or remove a existing planID I am getting null value for that newly added or deleted planID. This is affecting my update statement of analysisdetail table as PlanDetailID cannot be null.

I tried to remove the Null value from the #DetailTable by running the update statement of analysis detail in a while loop however its not working.

DECLARE @categoryid INT = 8
DECLARE @DetailQuestionID INT = 1380
/*------- I need the query to run for the below three data.
Here i'm updating my planids that already exists in my database*/
DECLARE @planids VARCHAR(MAX) = '2,4,5'

Replicating Tables With An Identity Column Fails Even With Custom Stored Procedure

Mar 28, 1999

When replicating a table which has an identity column I get the error: "Procedure cp_insert_tblname expects parameter @C1, which was not supplied.". The stored procedure appears to be called without any parameters so my insert stored procedure does not work. I know I'm missing something basic here!! Do I have to add the field names when telling replication to use a custom stored procedure. If not, how do arguments get passed to my SP, as globals somehow?

Any info greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,

Bcp Fails When The Called SP Has An Update Statement

Jan 24, 2008

This is a very weird problem. SQL 2000. A bcp calls an SP:

bcp "exec MyDB.dbo.usp_DF_NA_Analytics_OOW" queryout SomeFile.dat -T -c -t "|" -S "MySvrMyInst"

SP code:
----------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.usp_DF_NA_Analytics_OOW AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON

--Declare Variables
DECLARE @CURRENTDATE DATETIME
DECLARE @BEGINTIME DATETIME
declare @feedname varchar(50)
set @feedname = 'DF_NA_Analytics_OOW'
SET @CURRENTDATE = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

-- ensure there is a row for us - create 1 if it doesn't exist
exec usp_datafeed_timestamp_init @feedname

SET @BEGINTIME = (
SELECT LastRunTime
FROM NewAccounts.dbo.DataFeed_Timestamp
WHERE TaskName = @feedname
)

select oowReason.OOWTransaction_id,
oowReason.Position,
oowReason.ReasonCode,
oowTx.UpdateDateTime
from OOWTransaction oowTx (nolock)
join OOWReason oowReason (nolock)
on oowReason.OOWTransaction_id = oowTx.OOWTransaction_id
WHERE oowTx.UpdateDateTime >= @BEGINTIME and oowTx.UpdateDateTime < @CURRENTDATE
ORDER BY oowReason.OOWTransaction_id, Position

-- update the timestamp
exec usp_UPD @feedname, @currentdate
end
------------------------------


ALTER procedure dbo.usp_UPD (@feedname varchar(50), @lastruntime datetime)
as
begin
set nocount on


if not exists (select * from dbo.datafeed_timestamp where lower(taskname) = lower(@feedname))
INSERT INTO Datafeed_Timestamp(TaskName, LastRunTime) VALUES(@feedname, @lastruntime )
else
update Datafeed_Timestamp
set LastRunTime = @lastruntime
where TaskName = @feedname
end
----------------------------------------

The above bcp fails consistently unless the "exec usp_UPD" is completely removed.
Even if I substitute it with the update stmt instead of the SP call, it still fails.

I move the usp_UPD call and move it above the select making the select as the last command in the SP -- still fails.
Removed Order by -- still fails.

The weird thing is -- several other SPs that follow the same exact format (only select query is different) - they all succeed everytime.

This above bcp fails everytime unless the usp_UPD is fully removed.
I have tried putting the result dataset into a table variable and select it in the end -- still fails. several other attempt to workaround - fails -- by fails I mean "0 rows returned" from bcp -- when the UPD is removed, it returns the correct dataset. Otherwise always returns 0 rows.

Outside bcp, if I simply execute the SP from QA, it returns the correct dataset everytime. From bcp, it just doesn't like it. It returns 0 rows everytime, but does the UPD task -- the value does get updated adter execution.

Any thoughts/ideas? This thing is driving me NUTS


Thanks,
Rajesh

SQL Server 2012 :: Create Dynamic Update Statement Based On Return Values In Select Statement

Jan 9, 2015

Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".

Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.

SQL Server 2012 :: Update Statement With CASE Statement?

Aug 13, 2014

i was tasked to created an UPDATE statement for 6 tables , i would like to update 4 columns within the 6 tables , they all contains the same column names. the table gets its information from the source table, however the data that is transferd to the 6 tables are sometimes incorrect , i need to write a UPDATE statement that will automatically correct the data. the Update statement should also contact a where clause

the columns are [No] , [Salesperson Code], [Country Code] and [Country Name]

i was thinking of doing

Update [tablename]
SET [No] =
CASE
WHEN [No] ='AF01' THEN 'Country Code' = 'ZA7' AND 'Country Name' = 'South Africa'
ELSE 'Null'
END

What is the best way to script this

Unable To Update An Identity Column

Dec 24, 2007

Hello,

I have a frustrating problem occuring in Sql 2005. We have the need
in a few client upgrade situations to update the indentity column of a common
resource table. It is populated each release with common records and the
keys got out of sync for two releases due to developer error.

In Oracle this is not a problem. In SQL we get the message "Cannot
update identity column 'mycolumn'". To get around this in SQL 2000 we
updated the table by running the following.

exec sp_configure 'allow update', 1
go
reconfigure with override
go
update syscolumns set colstat = colstat - 1
where id = object_id(Event')
and name = 'EventKey'
go
exec sp_configure 'allow update', 0
go
reconfigure with override
go


In SQL 2005 this gives us the error

'Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed'.

Now I understand the need to keep people out of the system tables.
However, can I have some sort of solution to this problem. I'm running a
bunch of ad hoc queries to update the values and I don't want to create an
exact duplicate of the table and copy over the information with the changes.
It is much easier to run a simple update.

Please advise...

Thanks,
Russ

SQL 2012 :: Gaps In Identity Column

SQL 2012 :: Index Rebuild Job Fails Periodically At Update Stats?

Mar 18, 2015

I have a job that runs nightly, rebuild index. job runs fine every night but every few weeks it fails.

USE msdb
GO
EXECUTE dbo.IndexOptimize
@Databases = 'USER_DATABASES',
@FragmentationLow = NULL,
@FragmentationMedium = 'INDEX_REORGANIZE,INDEX_REBUILD_ONLINE,INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',
@FragmentationHigh = 'INDEX_REBUILD_ONLINE,INDEX_REBUILD_OFFLINE',
@FragmentationLevel1 = 5,
@FragmentationLevel2 = 30,
@SortInTempdb = 'Y',
@UpdateStatistics = 'ALL',
@OnlyModifiedStatistics = 'Y'

This calls the Sp that does the Reindex. It fails at the update statistics with a very generic message. like " Command: UPDATE STATISTICS [xxxx_DB].[dbo].[xxxx_xxx] [_WA_Sys_00000007_49C3F6B7] [SQ... The step failed."

I suspect it has more error but this is all it is showing me when I right click on the job history. therefore, I updated the job step in the advance tab with log to a txt file. Am I on the right track or there is another way to see error some where else.

I looked at the logs but they didn't show any thing.

Error 8102:cannot Update Identity Column

Dec 4, 2003

I set up replication on my DB between two server. The Publisher will not update tables on the Subscriber that use an identity column and I get an error "8102:cannot update identity column". I have looked around and can't seem to locate any solid fixes. If I remove the identity column from the subscribers tables the package works, but I am not able to use the DB on the subscriber because I need the Identity columns for my app to function properly. My Publisher and Subscriber are both running SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition SP3.

Thanks.

Error 8102: Cannot Update Identity Column

Mar 1, 2004

Hi,

I'd set up Transactional Replication btw 2 servers running on MSSQL 2000.

However, from time to time, I encounter Error 8102. I try to reinitialise the subscription but failed. After I delete the current subscription and PUSH a new one, it will works fine again.

I'm curious why this is happening as I'd already set all the tables (articles) in the subscriber to "YES, not_for_replication".

Any idea?

Thanks.

Identity Column As Foreign Key In Bulk Update

Apr 17, 2007

We need to import data from flat/xml files into our database.
we plan to do so in bulk as amount of data is huge, 2GB+
we need to do some validation checks in our code after that we create insert queries.

We have identity columns that are used as foreign keys in child tables. Question is how can I write a bulk/batch insert statement that will propogate the identity column to the child, as for all other we are creating the query in the application memory.
there are 2 parent tables and 1st table value needs to be referred to in 7 tables and second table's value in 6.


Thanks much for your help.

Identity Column Not Returnd After AddNew / Update With ADO And SQL 2005

Jun 12, 2006

Hi,

I add new records to a table with ADO. The tables contain an auto-increment identity column. I want to retrieve the identity value after the insert operation. This works fine for SQL Server 2000. On SQL Server 2005 this only works if I use a table in the select statement. If I use a view in the select statement, ADO returns no value for the identity column, a trace with profiler shows that there is no Select @@IDENTITY statement.

What is the reason for this behavior?

How can I change this behavior in SQL 2005 so that the behavior is the same as in SQL Server 2000?

Best regards,

George

SQL 2012 :: Identity Key (unique Column) Not Behaving Properly

Jul 19, 2013

I've seen this error on several of my databases again and again this week:

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_XXXX'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.MyTable'. The duplicate key value is (whatever number here). The statement has been terminated.

The thing is, the PK is unique, and the INSERT statement does not touch that column, it touches the other ones. So SQL2012 is the one that automatically generates the next and unique available value.

How can be possible that the value to be inserted (generated by SQL2012) is a duplicate one? By the way, this was not happening on the previous SQL2005 or SQL2008 server where the databases were being hosted.

Here's my SQL 2012 version: 11.0.3000.0 (SP1 applied). Runs on top of a Win2008R2 Cluster.

SQL Server 2012 :: Update A Column Using Value Of Another Column

I have a student table like this studentid, schoolID, previousschoolid, gradelevel.

I would like to load this table every day from student system.

During the year, the student could change schoolid, whenever there is a change, I would put current records schoolid to the previous schoolid column, and set the schoolid as the newschoolid from student system.

My question in my merge statement something like below

Merge into student st
using (select * from InputStudent ins)
on st.id=ins.studentid

When matched then update

set st.schoolid=ins.schoolid
, st.previouschoolid= case when (st.schoolid<>ins.schoolid) then st.schoolid
else st.previouschoolid
end
, st.grade_level=ins.grade_level
;

My question is since schoolid is et at the first line of set statement, will the second line still catch what is the previous schoolid?

Multiple Column Update Statement

Hi,

I'm new to SQL Server but not new to SQL because I used it with Oracle. I wonder if it is possible to do this kind of statement on SQL Server:

SET (M.column1, M.column2, M.column3)=
(SELECT T.column1, T.column2, G.column3)
FROM Table_Y T,
Table_Z G
WHERE join condition))
WHERE EXISTS (join condition for TableX)

Basically, I'd like to update multiple columns in one statement but for some reason I can not get it to work.

What would be the equivalent on SQL Server?

SQL Server 2012 :: Unable To Get Required Result Using Update Statement

I am unable to update the data using record by record below scenario.

Required output:

patient will able to Admit/Re-admit multiple times in hospital, if a patient readmitted multiple times in hospital after the first visit, first visit record will get Re-admission=0 and Index=1. This visit should cal Index_Admission of that patient. using this index_admission should calculate the 30-day readmission.

Current Output:

Calculation: From index_admission discharge date to next admit_visit date,

1) if the diff is having less than 30 days, readmission=1 and Index=0

else readmission=0 and Index=1 should be update.

For checking this every time should check using the latest index_admission discharge_date.

To get this result i written below logic, but it's updating readmission=0 and Index=1 after 30-day post discharge of using first index admission.

UPDATE Readmission
SET Index_AMI = (CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(DD, (SELECT Sub.Max_Index_Dis FROM

SQL Server 2012 :: MERGE Statement Attempted To UPDATE Or DELETE Same Row More Than Once

BBXkey is nothing but I am deriving by combining 2 columns.

Msg 8672, Level 16, State 1, Line 6

The MERGE statement attempted to UPDATE or DELETE the same row more than once. This happens when a target row matches more than one source row. A MERGE statement cannot UPDATE/DELETE the same row of the target table multiple times. Refine the ON clause to ensure a target row matches at most one source row, or use the GROUP BY clause to group the source rows.

SQL Update Statement Set Field Value To Column Default

May 17, 2008

Is there a way to set a field value to the column default in an update statement?
Eg.
UPDATE Table2 SET field1 = DefaultValue
where DefaultValue is the field1 column default in the table definition.
The reason I need to do this is when I delete a record from Table1, I need to set the foreign key in Table2 to the default (I don't want to delete the record in Table2, just want to set the key to a default key). I could hard-code the default value in the stored procedure but I think that's just not clean. If I create a new instance of the DB and the default value changes, I'd need to change the stored procedure(s). Just not clean...
To avoid a drawn-out discussion, there are reasons why I can't setup a relationship between the two tables and use "ON DELETE SET DEFAULT".
Any info greatly appreciated.
