SQL Command For Dropping Identity
Apr 16, 2008
Hi,
Is there a way to drop a column identity using TSQL?
Also, does this code look correct?
declare @max1 int
declare @max2 int
select @max1 = max(acid) from cms_2a
alter table cms_3a add cwid int identity(@max1, 1) <------ Error
select @max2 = max(cwid) from cms_3a
alter table cms_4a add cwtid int identity(@max2, 1) <------ Error
I do not have identities on tables cms_3a and cms_4a, but I do have an identity on cms_2a.
Thank you!

Hi,
I have a VB script that I am using to run various DTS procedures. One of these involves using DataPumpTransformCopy to copy data from one table to another. The destination table has an Identity field that I would like to disable for the duration of the Transform.
I have tried opening a Command Object and running the "SET IDENTITY_INSERT" function beofre and after the Transform but although it doesn't produce any errors it doesn't seem to actually do anything...
I figure I need to try using the ALTER TABLE to disable the IDENTITY but I can't find an example of how to do this anywhere.. can anyone help me out here?
Many Thanks,
Seoras

Hi,
I'm creating a VB program that does some DB manipulations.
I need a programmatic to drop the Identity property (not the column data) so that the field will be just an Integer with the old data...
It seems like the only way is the EM way (creating a temp table with no identity on the column, copying the data into it, deleting the old table, and re-naming the temp...)
I'm looking for a more inovative way, or possibly a way to automate the process (so I'll be able to do this for all tables in a database in a modular way).
Thanks a bunch
Moshe

How do i drop/remove the identity property for an existing column in all Tables where the Identity column is a primary key.
The Script below was used to find all the tables that have an Identity Column as a primary key in a database. Now i want to remove the identity property from the Identity Columns that have a primary key in the database.
select pk.table_name, c.column_name,
from information_schema.table_constraints pk
INNER JOIN information_schema.key_column_usage c ON c.TABLE_NAME = pk.TABLE_NAME
and c.constraint_name = pk.constraint_name
where constraint_type = 'PRIMARY KEY'
and COLUMNPROPERTY(object_id(pk.table_name), column_name, 'IsIdentity') = 1
ORDER BY pk.table_name, c.column_name

I have created a table as below mentioned. Then I want to alter the ID column as identity(1,1) without dropping the table as well as losing the data.
create table dbo.IdentityTest
(
id int not null,
descript varchar(255) null,
T_date datetime not null
)

I apologise if i have not posted this in the correct Topic before i start. But was uncertain where to post this query.
This is my first project in ASP.NET, MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express. I have relatively little experience, so please bare with me.
I have managed to create a form that inserts data into a table and then inserts the Automatically Created Primary Key(as a foreign key) in another table. I have done this by inserting what is highlighted in red in the code of my InsertCommand below (Please scroll across to the end of the code):-InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [PrinterModel] ([Model], [PrinterMakeID], [CartridgeCode], [PartCode], [Duplex], [NIC], [Wireless], [Parallel], [USB], [Colour], [PrinterTypeID]) VALUES (@Model, @PrinterMakeID, @CartridgeCode, @PartCode, @Duplex, @NIC, @Wireless, @Parallel, @USB, @Colour, @PrinterTypeID) INSERT INTO [Model] ([PrinterModelID],[TypeID]) VALUES (@@IDENTITY, 3)" Can you see any problems that may arise from using this method. This project is an Asset Management System and will be used by no more than a handful of users. My Concern is the use of the @@IDENTITY (As it only stores the last Key used). Should I be using it here? If there is more than one user inserting into tables (Chances of this happening are very low), will the correct Primary key be insert to the table in the above code?Thank you for your comments.

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,
Barkingdog

Hi All,
i am using a OLE DB Source in my dataflow component and want to select rows from the source based on the Name I enter during execution time. I have created two variables,
enterName - String packageLevel (will store the name I enter)
myVar - String packageLevel. (to store the query)
I am assigning this query to the myVar variable, "Select * from db.Users where (UsrName = " + @[User::enterName] + " )"
Now in the OLE Db source, I have selected as Sql Command from Variable, and I am getting the variable, enterName,. I select that and when I click on OK am getting this error.
Error at Data Flow Task [OLE DB Source [1]]: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E0C.
An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80040E0C Description: "Command text was not set for the command object.".
Can Someone guide me whr am going wrong?
myVar variable, i have set the ExecuteAsExpression Property to true too.
Please let me know where am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

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?

I 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?

Is there a way we can prevent a object owner from dropping his tables. Example:
There is a user called 'tom' who is given create table permissions, 'tom' creates the table completes his dev and then the table is moved into production where 'tom' is still the owner. However, in production, 'tom' does not have the create table privs. Because 'tom' is the owner of the table, he is still able to drop the table in production. This is what I am trying to avoid. I would like to retain 'tom' as the owner and want to take away his create/drop privs.

Looking for suggestions.
I have a database that is giving me a bad Index error. When I go to drop the necessary Index it is telling me that it either does not exist or cannot be dropped. However when I try to build that index, it tells me one already exists.
Is there any way to drop all of the indexes or at the very least see what the indexes are? This particular database is using 2005 Express.
Any help would be great!

How to remove the constraints on a table in sql server 2000? I need to drop the column, so i need to drop the constraint before that.
Alter Table Table_Name NO CHECK constraints ALL.
Once I execute the above one, it says, "Successfully Executed" but when I try to drop it doesnt allow me and gives me the following error:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF_Users_Created_by' is dependent on column 'CREATED_BY'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN CREATED_BY failed because one or more objects access this column.
Any ideas?
