Select Into Using Identity
Sep 18, 2007Hi guys,
I've a question about the 'select into' clause when using an identity column with an order by clause.
I've attached a sample of code at the bottom.
I've recently read an article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/273586) where it states that you can't guarantee the order of the identity columns using this statement, however I'm not sure whether this applies to 2005 or not.
Using this statement, I always get the correct order.
----------
begin
CREATE TABLE #x (FileName varchar(50))
INSERT INTO #x(FileName) SELECT 'E'
INSERT INTO #x(FileName) SELECT 'A'
INSERT INTO #x(FileName) SELECT 'C'
INSERT INTO #x(FileName) SELECT 'B'
INSERT INTO #x(FileName) SELECT 'D'
SELECT * FROM #x
SELECT identity(int,1,1) AS ID, FileName
INTO #y
FROM #x
ORDER BY FileName
SELECT * FROM #y
DROP TABLE #x
DROP TABLE #y
end
----------
Can anyone tell me if it is safe to use rely on the ordering of this statement in 2005, is there an article which discusses this ?

Select-into With Identity
Jul 20, 2005I have the following query that has been working so far. I modifiedit slightly to work from another source table (new_products). Now,SQL Server complains that the identity is inherited already:"Cannot add identity column, using the SELECT INTO statement, to table'dbo.my_products', which already has column 'id' that inherits theidentity property."Any suggestions for a work aorund?This is the query:SELECT IDENTITY(INT,1,1) as seq_number, prod_number, prod_nameINTO my_productsFROM ( SELECT prod_number, prod_nameFROM new_productsWHERE ...ORDER BY ...) sub_table

Mar 25, 2008Hello,
Is it possible to generate a identityfield dynamically upon select, like this:
SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username ASC
I want the output to be:
1 - Name12 - Name23 - Name3
The reason for this, is that i want to change the sort order in many diffrent ways, but i need to get the IDs from 1-?? even when the sort order changes.
Like:
SELECT tempID AS identity(1,1), username FROM table1 ORDER BY username DESC
I want the output to be:
1 - Name32 - Name23 - Name1

Real Quick Q On Select @@identity
Jul 8, 2004Hi all. Just a quick question for you guys...I did a search on Select @@identity and I'm not sure I understand it. The program I'm migrating over (from sql server to oracle) has "Select @@identity" at the end of some insert statements. I'm just tryin to figure out what this does and what the Oracle equivlant would be? i have read posts(or in this case a blog) like this http://weblog.anthonyeden.com/archives/000054.html that states it gives you the value of the PK.
I've also read this http://www.kamath.com/tutorials/tut007_identity.asp stating select @@identity is handy to use as a "connection specific global variable." This all makes sense, however in the code I am examining select @@identity is not assigned to any variable. Basically, my question is if select @@ identity is not assigned to a variable in your code, what use does putting it at the end of a select statement serve? thank you
Insert With SELECT@@IDENTITY (sqljdbc 1.2)
May 16, 2007Hi!
We are porting a database from DB2 to SQL-Server 2005. We use WAS 5.1. We have problems with insert staments followed by an SELECT @@IDENTITY. The sql error is that no result set is returned. The syntax is "<insert statment>;SELECT @@IDENTITY.
We have no problems with this in the 1.1 version (there we have the known "read date" error).

SELECT @@IDENTITY Using System.Data.SqlServerCe?
Mar 29, 2007Hi! I am having a problem getting the inserted id from a table.
Here is the table:
/*********************** Companies **********************************/
CREATE TABLE Companies(
CompanyId int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
Description nvarchar(30) NOT NULL
)
GO
When I type SELECT @@IDENTITY in SQL Management Studio after a successful insert, it works fine. However, in code (System.Data.SqlServerCe), I get an error using this code:
SqlCeCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = sql;
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
ret = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
I saw a thread with this solution, but do I really have to go to this trouble?
DECLARE @MyTable table
( MyIdentity int )
INSERT INTO Employees ( FirstName, LastName )
OUTPUT inserted.EmployeeID INTO @MyTable
VALUES ( 'Bill', 'Smith' )
SELECT MyIdentity
FROM @MyTable
scope_identity does not seem to work either. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Has SELECT INTO With IDENTITY() Function Changed The Way #'s Are Assigned?
Oct 10, 2007We have SELECT INTO queries that use the IDENTITY function to assign a sequential row number to a result set based upon a sort order. This has been helpful in SQL Server 2000 for median determination. It appears, however, that in SQL Server 2005, the row numbers are not assigned sequentially, or maybe they are assigned before the sort order is applied.
Can anyone verify whether the IDENTITY function has changed behavior between 2000 and 2005? We would prefer not to have to make changes to existing queries. Thank you.
(BTW, the workaround we found so far is to put the initial SELECT...ORDER BY in a subquery, but then we had to include a phrase like TOP 10000000 to pass syntax check. Is there a better way?)
SELECT @@IDENTITY During INSERT STATEMENT Error
Mar 9, 2008The following SQL statement fails on SQL CE 3.5 but works on SQL Express 2005:
"INSERT INTO BOOKINGS VALUES(@now,'"+note+"'," + p + "); SELECT @@IDENTITY;"
Compact 3.5 doesnt like the SELECT statement claiming that:
There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 72,Token in error = SELECT ]
Can anyone suggest the correct SQL to implement this via Compact? i.e. How do I retrieve the Identity value during and insert statement?
I have removed the SELECT @@IDENTITY; portion of the statement and it runs fine.

Select Based On User Identity Name Included In Insert Into Second Table
Aug 25, 2006I 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.
Thank you!
Last GASP On Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back ?
Jul 9, 2006While 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,

Insert Row In Table With Identity Field, And Get New Identity Back

What is the most direct way to do this in SSIS?

P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?
T-SQL (SS2K8) :: How To Update Identity Column With Identity Value
Jan 25, 2015I 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?

How To Use Identity On Non-identity Column (with Concurrence)
Aug 1, 2014I'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

Multiple Tables Select Performance - SQL 2005 - Should It Take 90 Seconds For A Select?
Dec 4, 2007I have a problem where my users complain that a select statement takes too long, at 90 seconds, to read 120 records out of a database.
The select statement reads from 9 tables three of which contain 1000000 records, the others contain between 100 and 250000 records.
I have checked that each column in the joins are indexed - they are (but some of them are clustered indexes, not unclustered).
I have run the SQL Profiler trace from the run of the query through the "Database Engine Tuning Advisor". That just suggested two statistics items which I added (no benefit) and two indexes for tables that are not involved at all in the query (I didn't add these).
I also ran the query through the Query window in SSMS with "Include Actual Execution Plan" enabled. This showed that all the execution time was being taken up by searches of the clustered indexes.
I have tried running the select with just three tables involved, and it completes fast. I added a fourth and it took 7 seconds. However there was no WHERE clause for the fourth table, so I got a cartesian product which might have explained the problem.
So my question is: Is it normal for such a type of read query to take 90 seconds to complete?
Is there anything I could do to speed it up.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

SELECT Then DELETE Versus Extra Clause In SELECT
Nov 29, 2007Far below (in section "original 3 steps"), you see the following:1. a temp table is created2. some data is inserted into this table3. some of the inserted data is removed based on a join with the sametable that the original select was made fromIn my opinion, there is no way that the join could produce more rowsthan were originally retrieved from viewD. Hence, we could get rid ofthe DELETE step by simply changing the query to be:INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )AND INMESS NOT LIKE '2__' ---- the added line===== original 3 steps (mentioned above) =====CREATE TABLE #details (rec_id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,orig VARCHAR(35) NULL,bene VARCHAR(35) NULL,orig_corr TINYINT NULL,bene_corr TINYINT NULL)INSERT INTO #details ( rec_id, orig_corr, bene_corr )SELECT rec_id, 0, 0FROM viewDWHERE SOURCE_SYS NOT IN ( 'G', 'K' )AND MONTH( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = MONTH( @date )AND YEAR( VALUE_DATE_A8 ) = YEAR( @date )DELETE dFROM #details dJOIN viewD v ON ( d.rec_id = v.rec_id )WHERE INMESS LIKE '2__'
