Jun 15, 2000Hi folks!
I need to populate a table having an identity field with data (basically I want to make a copy of a table with identity column on another server). When I use BCP to insert data then the values in the identity field is not the same as in the data file but gets incremented from the original.
eg. if the records in the flat file are-
1, 'test1'
2, 'test2'
Now if i insert this into the table (say the last identity value was 100) then rows get inserted as-
101, 'test1'
102, 'test2'
Is there any way by which I can retain the values of the identity column to be same as in the file?
Thanks!
Indentity Column
Feb 24, 2000when I use the code
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tss_Cable ON
go
DECLARE @@nextidentval int
SELECT @@nextidentval = MIN(IDENTITYCOL) + IDENT_INCR(tss_Cable)
FROM tss_Cable t1
WHERE IDENTITYCOL BETWEEN IDENT_SEED(tss_Cable) AND 2147483646
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM tss_Cable t2
WHERE t2.IDENTITYCOL = t1.IDENTITYCOL IDENT_INCR(tss_Cable))
go
SET IDENTITY_INSERT tss_Cable OFF
I get the following error.
error line 2 Incorrect syntax near IDENT_INCR.
error line 6 incorrent syntax near IDENT_INCR.
I would like to reset the identity without droping the table. I'm using
sql 6.5. I looked at Mark Lessard 12/17/99 respose on this issue and changed
the code to match his version but the same error occured.

Indentity Insert
Jul 20, 2005I'm doing a data transfer from Access to SQL Server, I wish to keep theidentity column (autonumber) values as all the data is already related. Itried the first table append query including the identity column, it worked.Was this fluke? Will it always work? I was under the impression that I wouldhave to issue a "set identity_insert on" before doing this. The SQL databasewill have absolutely no data before the transfer routines are run.

Using The Indentity Column
Feb 22, 2008
As an example I have three tables
Table1
ChildName (nvarchar)30
ChildID (INT) Set as €˜IDENTITY€™
Table2
ParentName(nvarchar)30
ParentID (INT) Set as €˜IDENTITY€™
Table3
ChildID (INT)
ParentID (INT)
I have the following code.
Dim dbcnn As SqlClient.SqlConnection = New SqlClient.SqlConnection(dbsettings.getDatabaseString)
Dim dbcmd As SqlClient.SqlCommand
dbcmd_AddDriverRoute = New SqlClient.SqlCommand("usp_Insert", dbcnn)
dbcmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
dbcmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ChildID ", cmb_child.SelectedItem)
dbcmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ParentID ", "@@IDENTITY")
dbcnn.Open()
dbcmd.ExecuteScalar()
dbcnn.Close()
basically what I want to do is when a child is added I want to be able to insert ParentID (INT) Set as €˜IDENTITY€™ value into table3 ParentID (INT) .
I have my sql statement in place I am not sure how to take an identity value stored in the db.

Is It Possible That DTS Skipped Indentity Attribut
Sep 11, 2006I imported a table using DTS.
I run SQL statements in my original server database. It works well.
But when I run the same instructions within a stored procedure in my new workstation where I improrted the table I get this error:
Server: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Procedure InsertFichierPrix, Line 11
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Id', table 'myDBLive.dbo.FichierPrix'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
Here is the SQL statements that I run on the original Database:
insert into fichierprix(nomfichier, version, descriptionfr, typeclient,....) values(@NomFichier,'Actuelle', @NomFourFr, 'MembreAcheteur', ....)
And here is my SP that I run on the new imported database:
CREATE PROCEDURE InsertFichierPrix @NomFichier varchar(50), @NomFr varchar(50),@NomAn varchar(50)
AS
declare @NomFourFr varchar(50)
declare @NomFourAn varchar(50)
SET @NomFourFr='liste fournisseur ' + @NomFr
set @NomFourAn='liste fournisseur ' + @NomAn
insert into fichierprix(nomfichier, version, descriptionfr, typeclient,...) values(@NomFichier,'Actuelle', @NomFourFr, 'MembreAcheteur'...)
GO
And here is the execution of my Stored proc on the destination database:
execute insertfichierprix @NomFichier='myfilename2', @NomFr='fournifr1',@NomAn='Fourniang1'
Thank you for helping me.

Ordering Of Newly Added Indentity Value ?
Aug 1, 2007Hi There
Can anyone tell me how an identity column decides what number to give which row.
I always thought that it was in order of the clustered index.
But i have found the following:
If you have Table A with a clustered index(not unique) say on the first 3 columns.
If the table is empty and you add an identity column, then afterward load it with data the value of the identity column seems to match the clustered index.
But if the table has no identity column and it is filled with data, and then you add an identity column the number for the identity column seems to be all over the place.
So basically how does a newly added identity column know what number to give each row, what if the clustered index is not unique? Is it random ?
Thanx

Problems Moving Data Over 8000k In DB2 Varchar Column Into SQL Server Varchar(max) Using SSIS
Nov 20, 2007
I have looked far and wide and have not found anything that works to allow me to resolve this issue.
I am moving data from DB2 using the MS OLEDB Provider for DB2. The OLEDB source sees the column of data as DT_TEXT. I setup a destination to SQL Server 2005 and everything looks good until I try and run the package.
I get the error:
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft DB2 OLE DB Provider" Hresult: 0x80040E21 Description: "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "LIST_DATA_RCVD".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: There was an error with output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (287). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[OLE DB Source [277]] Error: The "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "LIST_DATA_RCVD" (324)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component.
[DTS.Pipeline] Error: The PrimeOutput method on component "OLE DB Source" (277) returned error code 0xC0209029. The component returned a failure code when the pipeline engine called PrimeOutput(). The meaning of the failure code is defined by the component, but the error is fatal and the pipeline stopped executing.
Any suggestions on how I can get the large string data in the varchar column in DB2 into the varchar(max) column in SQL Server 2005?
The Data Types Varchar And Varchar Are Incompatible In The Modulo Operator
Jan 4, 2008I am trying to create a store procedure inside of SQL Management Studio console and I kept getting errors. Here's my store procedure.
Code Block
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sqlOutlookSearch]
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
@OLIssueID int = NULL,
@searchString varchar(1000) = NULL
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- Insert statements for procedure here
IF @OLIssueID <> 11111
SELECT * FROM [OLissue], [Outlook]
WHERE [OLissue].[issueID] = @OLIssueID AND [OLissue].[issueID] = [Outlook].[issueID] AND [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
ELSE
SELECT * FROM [Outlook]
WHERE [Outlook].[contents] LIKE + ''%'' + @searchString + ''%''
END
And the error I kept getting is:
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 18
The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.
Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sqlOutlookSearch, Line 21
The data types varchar and varchar are incompatible in the modulo operator.
Any help is appreciated.
SSIS - Importing Varchar From Access Into SQL2005 As Varchar
Nov 20, 2006For the life of me I cannot figure out why SSIS will not convert varchar data. instead of using the table to table method, I wrote a SQL query so that I could transform the datatype ntext to varchar 512 understanding that natively MS is going towards all Unicode applications.
The source fields from Access are int, int, int and varchar(512). The same is true of the destination within SQL Server 2005. the field 'Answer' is the varchar field in question....
I get the following error

DTS used to be a very strong tool but a simple import such as this is causing me extreme grief and wondering of SQL2005 is ready for primetime. FYI SP1 is installed. I am running this from a workstation and not on the server if that makes a difference...

Datatype Question Varchar(max), Varchar(250), Or Char(250)
Oct 18, 2007
I have a table that contains a lot of demographic information. The data is usually small (<20 chars) but ocassionally needs to handle large values (250 chars). Right now its set up for varchar(max) and I don't think I want to do this.
How does varchar(max) store info differently from varchar(250)? Either way doesn't it have to hold the container information? So the word "Crackers" have 8 characters to it and information sayings its 8 characters long in both cases. This meaning its taking up same amount of space?
Also my concern will be running queries off of it, does a varchar(max) choke up queries because the fields cannot be properly analyzed? Is varchar(250) any better?
Should I just go with char(250) and watch my db size explode?
Usually the data that is 250 characters contain a lot of blank space that is removed using a SPROC so its not usually 250 characters for long.
Any insight to this would be appreciated.
Difference VarChar(50) And VarChar(500)
Nov 26, 2007
Hey,
I was doing some research on how SQL stores data on disk.
MSDN states that when storring a varchar, only the length of the data itself is used plus two bytes.
So, if you store "car" in a VarChar(50) it will take 5 bytes.
But when you store "car" in a VarChar(500) it will also take 5 bytes.
What is the reason users should define the parameter lenght?
Can you use VarChar(8000) whole the time, without any drawback?
Thanks
