Change Increment Value For Existing Identity Column
Jul 20, 2004Hi,
How to Change Increment Value for existing Identity Column (MS SQL2000) ?
I know how to change the seed :
DBCC CHECKIDENT (activity, RESEED,4233596)
but I need the future id generated with step 2
4233596
4233598
4233600
I would like to do it using T-sql because I will need to do it every day after syncronising with another SQL server .
Thanks,
Natalia

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

How To Refer A Column When The Referencing Column Is An Identity Column
Oct 16, 2006Hi all,
The requirement is to have a table say 'child_table', with an Identity column to refer another column from a table say 'Parent_table'..
i cannot implement this constraint, it throws the error when i execute the below Alter query,
ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id)
REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE CASCADE
the error thrown is :
Failed to execute alter table query: 'ALTER TABLE child_table ADD CONSTRAINT
fk_1_ct FOREIGN KEY (child_id) REFERENCES parent_table (parent_id) ON DELETE
CASCADE '. Message: java.sql.SQLException: Cascading foreign key 'fk_1_ct' cannot be
created where the referencing column 'child_table.child_id' is an identity column.
any workarounds for this ?
DBCC CHECKIDENT Atomically Change Identity Seed?
Aug 9, 2007I have a set of staging tables that need to be used to update a hierarchy of tables with foreign keys between them, and identity columns for the primary keys. One way I'm thinking of doing this is to reset the identity seed on the target tables based on the number of rows I have in the staging tables, then to update the staging tables keys to match the vacated range of identity values. I'd insert them with SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON.
The question is: can this be done atomically? It seems that DBCC CHECKIDENT will return the current identity value, but can only change the seed to an absolute value. That would require that I get the current value, add "n" to it, then set the seed value. This would seem to be non-atomic, in that a new row could be inserted between the time I find the "current" value and the time I set the new value.
Does anyone know of a way to pre-allocate a block of identity values atomically? This has to be done in a live OLTB database.

Mar 27, 2001Having an identity column in target table, how do I use SQL 7 DTS ?
In Import wizard, I chose 'ignore' in source, checked Enable Indenity Insert - DTS failed with a msg like - a column cannot have NULL...
In DTS package, had Fast load and Enable Indenity checked - no luck !
Unchecked Enable identity, do luck.
What would be the standard procs for this since this sounds like a very common
senario.
What I am expecting is to insert from source and SQL would take care identity column automatically.
Appreciate your help very much !

Identity Column
Feb 29, 2000I have a table that has a field that will not accept null values. I was trying to create a new table with a new field that would accept null values. I would then drop the original table and rename the new table. The problem is my key field has the Identity column (Autonumber) turned on. This allows the recordID to be automatically generated. Is there anyway to bypass the Identity Column feature and still keep it there future records? I already tried the "with Nocheck Clause" but does not work.

Apr 9, 2006Kudos to y'all! On most of my tables, I'm using a column of data type numeric and properties set as Identity with no replication. Now I know that it can handle only a length of 9 and obviously not nullable. Now by length of 9, does it mean in bytes or literal digits. If it is, then that would mean that it would reach only up to 999,999,999. What happens then if it reaches that digit?
