Stuck Between Cannot Insert The Value NULL Into Column 'ID' And Violation Of PRIMARY KEY Constraint
Jan 20, 2004
Cannot find an answer to this in previous posting, though there are similar topics.
My primary key "ID" requires a value (is not nullable), and not explictly providing it with one when I update a new record gives the following error:
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table 'AdClub.mediaq.News'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ID', table 'AdClub.mediaq.News'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
However, trying to stuff that field with a recordCount+1 value (or any value), I get this error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'Primary Key'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'News'.

Cannot figure this one out. The value I'm providing for that field is known to be unique, but the SQL Server spits it out each time.
Is there a way to have the ID primary field automatically update with a new value when a new record is generated? This is how I used to do it in Access, but cannot find a similar feature in SQL Server. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but right now I'm stuck in this "Catch-22" situation.
the point here that i have a small table with two fileds, ID (guid) as primerykey RAF(char) and the table is empty when i add a new row i recieve this exception, Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_tblType'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.tblType'. i found no way to solve the problem. thanks in advans
We have a database where many tables have a field that has to be lengthened. In some cases this is a primary key or part of a primary key. The table in question is:-
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Script Date: 09/25/2014 14:05:09 ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO SET ANSI_PADDING ON GO CREATE TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd](
[Code] ....
The script I am using is
DECLARE@Column varchar(100)--The name of the column to change DECLARE@size varchar(5)--The new size of the column DECLARE @TSQL varchar(255)--Contains the code to be executed DECLARE @Object varchar(50)--Holds the name of the table DECLARE @dropc varchar(255)-- Drop constraint script
[Code] ....
When I the the script I get the error message Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Looking at the strings I build
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] DROP CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] Alter Column [Patient System Number] varchar(10) ALTER TABLE [dbo].[DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Patient System Number] ASC,[Episode Number] ASC,[CensusDate] ASC) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
They all seem fine except the last one which returns the error
Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'DTb_HWSQueueMonthEnd'. Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 1 Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
None of the fields I try to create the key on are nullable.
I know what this error means is that you can not insert duplicate primary keys in the table but the thing is I am checking the rows if they do not exist then insert otherwise don't do any thing these are the lines I am writing in my strored procedure can someone please let me know what I am doing wrong here.
If not exists (Select * From GGP WHERE FFECTIVE_DATE =@v_EFFECTIVE_DATE AND ASSET_ID= @v_ASSET_ID AND ASSET_TYPE = @v_ASSET_TYPE AND Value = @v_Value AND hour = @v_Hour)
INSERT INTO GGP (ASSET_ID,ASSET_TYPE,Hour,Value,EFFECTIVE_DATE) values(@v_ASSET_ID,@v_ASSET_TYPE,@v_Hour,@v_Value, @v_EFFECTIVE_DATE)
The exact error is Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_SP_GGP'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object
When I try to insert data into a table (let's just call it MyTable for this post), I suddenly get the following error.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_MyTable'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'MyTable'.
My table does have a primary key field named 'id', which is an auto-incrementing BIGINT. The last record I successfully inserted received 14 in the id field, so I'm assuming the database is trying to assign 15 to the next. Unfortunately, there is already a record with an id of 15; the next available id is 21.
Is there a way to avoid these primary key collisions?
I'm trying to insert records into a table and getting the below error and not sure how to resolve it:
Server: Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Line 1 Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_propertyItem'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'propertyItem'. The statement has been terminated.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_tbl_others. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'tbl_others. The statement has been terminated.-- What does it mean i cant load the data to tbl_others
When replication merge, is taking place between two servers on one particular table I keep getting violation of primary key constraint, Does anyone out there have a fix for this?
I've a set of source tables on one server and a set of destination tables on another. When I move data from one server to next, I get an error saying "Violation of Primary Key Constraint". This happens for only one table among the 6 tables that I have. I dont understand why it throws me this error. Though theres an error for this table, the data from source table moves into this destination table.

I am running merg replication (pull) between 7 various sites and once in a while when two people update information in a table in close proximty in time, I will get a primary key violation when viewing conflicts, it's almost excluslively in one table. What is the best way to handle this error. Should I delete the entire column on the subscriber and let the publisher update the subscriber? Or should I redesing the table and primary keys? Any assistance in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
In my SSIS package i am loading data from 1 source database to 2 targets database, both targets have same structure and datatype.
My package is working fine for 1 target  database but for 2 nd database its giving error "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint" but where as primary key constraint is not violating .
We scheduled lot of SSIS packages on 64 bit server and most of the time they are running fine. Some times we are getting below error message on any random package. When we re-run its working fine to success. This is repeating once in a week on different packages.

The following SP causes the error "Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'AlumniID'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object [table name]. The statement has been terminated." AlumniID is the table's PK and is set to autoincrement. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

I have a table with 0 records. When I try to insert records using a SP, it gives the following error. Violation of UNIQUE KEY Constraint 'constraint name'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'Objectname'. How do I resolve this. Thanks.
I've read a few different articticles wrt how the handle this error gracefully. I am thinking of wrapping my sql insert statement in a try catch and have the catch be something likeIF ( e.ToString() LIKE '% System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_PS_HR_Hrs'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object %'){lable1.text = "Sorry, you already have reported hours for that day, please select anothe rdate" } Is there a better way?TIA Dan
I have table variable in which I am inserting data from sql server database. I have made one of the columns called repaidID a primary key so that a clustered index will be created on the table variable. When I run the stored procedure used to insert the data. I have this error message; Violation of Primary key Constraint. Cannot insert duplicate primary key in object. The value that is causing this error is (128503).
I have queried the repaidid 128503 in the database to see if it is a duplicate but could not find any duplicate. The repaidID is a unique id normally use by my company and does not have duplicates.
Hi allWould there be a easy way to find the column name(s) which constitutea Primary constraint for a table through navigating the systemcatalogs.I found that the PK Constraint object in syscontraints is showing thecolid = 0.TIANorman
I am trying to add a unique index/constraint on a column that allows NULL values. The column does have NULL values and when I try to create a unique constraint, I get the following error.
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX terminated because a duplicate key was found for index ID 9. Most significant primary key is '<NULL>'.
Are'nt you allowed to create a UNIQUE constraint on a NULL column? Books Online says that you are allowed to create a unique constraint on NULL columns, then why am I getting this error.
I thought the whole point of 'check constraint' being unticked meant you could whack your data straight in no probs.
How can I insert a bunch of historical information where I want to control the PK, in this case DealID?
I have got 'keep identity' checked.
I check the db, the Id does NOT exist currently.

I am getting this error: "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'OrderID', table 'outman.outman.Contact'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails." -- But my value is not null. I did a response.write on it and it show the value. Of course, it would be nice if I could do a breakpoint but that doesn't seem to be working.

If there are two different transactions, both of which update the username column to 'xyz' for userid = 234 in 'Users' table. This is a unique value for username. Ater this update each transaction adds a row to 'AppLog' table. The transaction is only committed after second operation. The 'username' column has a unique constraint on it. If transaction isolation level is 'read committed', and both transaction execute the first operation when neither of the transactions have been committed, then the transaction that calls COMMIT later will error out or not? If COMMIT does not check constraints then it will NOT error out. As a result we will have a violation of unique constraint happening without any error being thrown by SQL Server.
I have a stored procedure which bulk inserts records into a table based on a passed in variable that contains comma separated values of record Ids.
However I have a constraint on the table ensuring that value-pairs in 2 columns must be unique (as a person can not be twice on the same project)
Since I insert the passed in person Ids in a loop, I’d like to catch if this constraint has been violated and skip that specific cycle if it has but do commit the rest.
Not sure if this can be done, and if yes could someone let me know the SQL syntax and structure please?
Am I explaining this clearly?
Thanks in advance all comments are much appreciated!
I'm retreiving data from a SAP BW data source. In the dataset designer I can build a query that returns a single value, the data returns successfully in the designer. When I switch to the layout mode I can place the field of the datset in table / matrix / textbox. However when i switch to preview mode or deploy the report and try to see them in Report Manager the report fails to render with the following message:
Query Execution Failed for dataset 'XXX'
These columns don't currently have unique values.
Its a single cell datset?!?!
I can successfully retreive data from other SAP Infocubes and queries. I also cannot replicate the error using a SQL Server datasource. The stack trace error looks like this:
w3wp!processing!6!5/9/2007-16:57:41:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Query execution failed for data set 'DataSet1'., ; Info: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Query execution failed for data set 'DataSet1'. ---> System.ArgumentException: These columns don't currently have unique values. at System.Data.ConstraintCollection.AddUniqueConstraint(UniqueConstraint constraint) at System.Data.ConstraintCollection.Add(Constraint constraint, Boolean addUniqueWhenAddingForeign) at System.Data.DataTable.set_PrimaryKey(DataColumn[] value) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.XmlaClient.CubeMetadataCache.CreatePrimaryKeys(DataTable table, InternalObjectType objectType) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.XmlaClient.CubeMetadataCache.Populate(InternalObjectType objectType) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.XmlaClient.CubeMetadataCache.Microsoft.ReportingServices.XmlaClient.IMetadataCache.Populate(InternalObjectType objectType) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.XmlaClient.ObjectMetadataCache.Microsoft.ReportingServices.XmlaClient.IObjectCache.Populate() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.XmlaClient.CacheBasedFilteredCollection.PopulateCollection() at Microsoft.ReportingServices.XmlaClient.DimensionPropertyCollectionInternal.Find(String index) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.XmlaClient.DimensionPropertyCollection.Find(String index) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.SapBw.DataReader.FindOptionalPropertyName(String internalColumnName, CubeDef cube, Boolean fIsYukonSP1) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.SapBw.DataReader.GenerateColumnInformation(CubeDef cube, Boolean fIsYukonSP1) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.SapBw.DataReader..ctor(AdomdDataReader dataReader, CubeDef cube) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataExtensions.SapBw.SapBwCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior behavior) at Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessing.RuntimeDataSetNode.RunDataSetQuery()
Any ideas why this happening and how I can get around it?

ps Why would you want to put a unique constraint on a read only single table dataset?
Hi there, I have a stored procedure which i pass a number of parameters into. One of these parameters is staffNo (only passed this in because i couldn't execute the query without it). The thing is this field can be Null, but when trying to pass null into it it comes up with an Foreign Key conflict. staffNo is a foreign key within the table i'm inserting the data into. This is the error i get: "INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'PropStaffFK'. The conflict occurred in database 'DewMountain', table 'TblStaff', column 'staffNo'. The statement has been terminated. The 'PropertyAdvert' procedure attempted to return a status of NULL, which is not allowed. A status of 0 will be returned instead. "
Does anyone know of away around this? how to pass a null value to the stored procedure without it causing this error. Thank you Melanie
I have a table with 5 columns .Length of the 2nd column is 4 characters. I have to create a new database and copy the existing data.Alter the 2nd column to have 6 charactrers. Append the values in 2nd column with 00. I have only one row in the old database. I am able to copy the rows.But after that when I try to update,it is giving primary key violation error. What could be the reason?
I keep getting a Attempt to insert duplicate key row in object... when I try to add a record. I know for a fact that the primary key is not being duplicated because I can look in the db and see that it is not there and if I continue to try to add it it will eventually succeed. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Hi, I have got a very peculier kind of problem. My package is running on SQL 2000. There is a identity primary key in a table. Now when I submit the data from 2 different computer at the same time. Only one data is storing. The reason behind this is the primary key violation. as both the data are sending the request to the database at the same time.................n as the primary key is th identity column, it is storing one that value which is able to store the data at the forst hand. Now plz help me out in this regard................. :confused:
