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?
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?
Hi there, I should prefix this message by saying, I am brand new to SQL so please be gentle
What I am doing seems pretty standard and I'd like some advice on the best way to proceed.
I am simply trying to add some customer information to my database. For this I have set up two tables. One for the Customer name, title, etc and then a related table for the address which is referenced in the previous table by a AddressID.
In the address table the AddressID uses an Identity. So what I'd like to do (which may not be the best way, if so tell me) is write a stored procedure to accept all of the customer information then INSERT a new entry into the Addresses table, then use DBCC to retrieve the current IDENTITY value and then add the remaining customer info into the Customers table using the IDENTITY value retrieved for the AddressID.
Now is that a total bass-ackwards way of doing this?
Hi, I am having problem in bulk update of a sql server table haning identity column from a datatable( has no identity column) using sqlbulkcopy. I tried several approaches, but it does not show any error nor is the table getting updated. But the identity value seems to getting increased every time. thanks. varun
I have a stored procedure (see below), in which I would like to check if the create an identity column and make it a primary key succeeded. I check @@error after the exec statement. This used to pick up an error if the table already had an identity column. It has stopped doing that. Why? And, if this is not the way to capture the error after the exec statement, how do I do it?

I have a quick question for you about SQL stored procedures. If I'min a stored procedure and want to call another stored procedure andreturn values from the second stored procedure what is the procedure?I know you do the following to run the second stored procedure and passin any parameters:EXEC GetAuthorBooks @AuthorIDSo if I wanted the GetAuthorBooks to return all the books for an authorand then populate a temp table in the original stored procedure, how doI return those records, and populate the temp table?What do I have to add to this line: EXEC GetAuthorBooks @AuthorID?
Hello all,I have a stored procedure that prompts the user for beginning date andending date to run a monthly report. The prompt saysEnter_Beginning_Date and Enter_Ending_Date. I want the prompt to sayEnter Beginning Date (Example:1-1-2003) or something like that. Isthere a way to do this?CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MonthlyReport(@Enter_Beginning_Date datetime,@Enter_Ending_Date datetime)AS SELECT incident, @Enter_Beginning_Date AS BeginningDate,@Enter_Ending_Date AS EndingDate, COUNT(*) AS OccurancesFROM dbo.IncidentWHERE (DateOccured BETWEEN @Enter_Beginning_Date AND@Enter_Ending_Date)GROUP BY incidentGO
SELECT @idAgency = idAgency FROM tblAgencies WHERE strAgencyId = @strAgencyId;
SELECT strName, strAddress1, strAddress2, strCounty, strCountry, strPostcode, strTelephone, strFax, bitActive, bitHeadOffice, bitFinanceBranch FROM tblBranches WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency
SELECT strFirstName, strSurname, strUsername, bitActive FROM tblUsers WHERE fk_idAgency = @idAgency
GO
It basically first declare's and sets @idAgency using the first small select statment, then uses that parameter to run two more selects queries which I want sending to a dataset. Now within the Query Analyzer this works fine. But in my asp.net page it trows up this error:
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'spAdminAgencyActivate_Select'
Now the code im using in the asp.net page is as follows:
Dim objSqlConnection as New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("strCon")) Dim objSqlCommand_Select as New SqlCommand("spAdminAgencyActivate_Select", objSqlConnection)
Can anyone help? I believe the error is in the stored procedure somewhere, because if I change the stored procedure so no parameters are being passed to it then it starts working. This is what I comment out and change for it to to get it working, but obviously this is not satisfactory as a final result because the parameter is hard coded in the stored procedure. Im just showing this to see if it gives anyone a clue!!
I m working on MS SQL Server 2000. I am trying to pass a list of numbers to a stored procedure to be used with 'IN()' statement.
I was doing something like..
Create Procedure proc
(
@Items varchar(100) --- List of numbers ) AS Begin
Declare @SQL varchar(8000) Set @SQL = ' Select Query...... Where products IN (' + @items + ') ' ' Exec (@SQL)
This stored procedure is working fine, but when i m adding more required stuff to that, the size exceeds 8000, & it gives the error "Invalid operator for data type. Operator equals add, type equals text."
I'm just learning SSIS and I've hit my first bump. I am doing a bulk import from a tab delimited text file to an empty sql table that has a Idendity column defined. How do I tell the bulk insert task to skip that column when inserting from the text file. If I remove the identity column it imports the data fine, but I want to create the indentity column in the table too.
after i have inserted a row into the DB i am trying to get the last identity like this : Dim myCommand2 As New SqlCommand("SELECT @@IDENTITY AS 'Identity'", ) Dim myReader2 As SqlDataReader myReader2 = myCommand2.ExecuteReader() where myConnection2 is the connection objectafter i did this i dont underdsand how do i get the 'Identity' value?i tried myReader2 ('Identity') but no luckany 1 can helpthnaks in advancepeleg
Let me start off by saying I have posted this on: comp.databases.ms-sqlserver
My apologies, try not to do that again.
I have a table that I am trying to insert into with data from another table. Here is that Query:
INSERT INTO item (identifier, name, customlgtxt1, weight,mainprice, customnumber3, customnumber4) Select partno, name, description, weight,price, qtyprice, qty From Import2
This seems to work fine.
My dilemma has to do with an 'id' column in that item table. This is incrementally updated by one..ie Natural Key. I have set it to Identity and used Set @@IDENTITY AS 'id'...worked like a charm. But for reasons that have to do with a front end admin tool used by the home office I can't set this column to have an Indentity property. Screws up the insert done with the admin tool.
This is a item/price database by the way. Name of item, price, description, qty price..etc.
So I've tried to put this trigger on the item table CREATE TRIGGER auto_fill ON [dbo].[item] FOR INSERT, UPDATE AS BEGIN declare @maxc int set @maxc = (select Max(id) from item) set @maxc = @maxc +1 Select 'id' AS '@maxc', notorderable = '0', createdon = getdate(), createdat = getdate(), createdby = 'Steve', modifiedon = getdate(), modifiedat= getdate(), modifiedby = 'Steve'
END
But the Insert Into statement (see above) will not work...giving the error "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'id', table 'new_Catalog1v1.dbo.item" Which I know...that's why I set it to Identity..but that cannot be.
So the question is how to set an autonumber (or natural key or I'm not sure of the name) that updated from the max(id)table when inserting from another table.
And then...one more.
I have to update a table named UNIQUEIDS with the lastest value of the id column (max(ID))..UNIQUEIDS keeps track of the latest value inserted into the id column for a number of tables. Here is another trigger I put on the item table to update the UNIQUEIDS table.
create trigger upUniqueIds_item on [dbo].[item] for update,Insert, delete as begin Select @@Identity as 'id' from inserted Update uniqueids set id = @@identity Where tablename = 'item' End
But of course this doesn't work if I can't set the columns to IDENTITY.
I hope someone can help and I hope my explanation had made sense. Need to increment the id field using max(id) and update another table with the last imported value of max(id). One occurs during insert..another after the insert..i think?
i have a question: i have a table that has an identity id column called pId and also a column called ParentPid. now my question is that i want to insert the value of pId into the ParentPid when i'm adding a new Property to a table. any idea? thanks
First Table is CUSTOMERS with the columns (CustomerId, CustomerName) Second Table is LICENSES with the columns (LicenseId, Customer) The column customer from the second table is the CustomerId from the First table
I wanted to create a store procedure that insert values into table 2
Insert into Licenses (Customer) Values( Same As CustomerId)
Hey, I've been having problems - when trying to insert a new row i've been trying to get back the unique ID for that row. I've added "SELECT @MY_ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY();" to my query but I am unable get the data. If anyone has a better approach to this let me know because I am having lots of problems. Thanks,Lang
I have 2 tables - tblOrders and tblOrderDetails. Every time an order is placed, 2 INSERT statements are executed. The first one enters the general order and customer information in the tblOrders table:INSERT INTO tblOrders (custname, custdetails, orderdate) VALUES (@custname, @custdetails, @orderdate)The primary key in this table is OrderID which is an Identity column. This is the foreign key in the tblOrderDetails table.I'm trying to get the Identity value from the first INSERT statement to use in the second INSERT statement:INSERT INTO tblOrderDetails (orderid, productid, productcost) VALUES (@orderid, @productid, @productcost)How do i obtain this value and how would I supply it to the second INSERT statement?
Hi All: I have what I'm sure is a common scenario...I have a table to track pageviews of a form, and which also tracks when a person viewing the form submits it. The table has three fields: an INT identity/PK field, a DATETIME (default getdate()) field, and a BIT field with default "false". When the page is viewed, I insert a record into the dB: Protected Sub Page_load(ByVal src As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
conn = New SqlConnection("Server=myserver;Database=mydb;User ID=user;Password=password;Trusted_Connection=false;") If Not IsPostBack Then AddTrack() End If End Sub Sub AddTrack()
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand Dim insertTrack As String insertTrack = "Insert PageTracker (submitted) Values (0)"myCommand = New SqlCommand(insertTrack, conn) myCommand.Connection.Open() Try myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()tempTxt.Text = "<br>Ticked</b><br>" & insertTrack Catch ex As SqlException tempTxt.Text = ex.Number.ToString()
End Try myCommand.Connection.Close() End Sub And if I view the page, the record is inserted into the table. But now I need to know the value of the identity field, so when the form is submitted, I can update the field "submitted" from "0" to "1". The way I would do it in ASP is to add a "SELECT @@identity" to the query, and get the value using RS.nextrecordset. How would I do this in .NET? or is there a better way for me to do this?

I would like to use ADO in a new project but I need to find out how to return the identity field value to ADO out of a stored procedure. I have not done alot with ADO or with SQL 7.0 so if anyone has an example of the SQL and the ADO code that I would need I would greatly appriate it.
I'm nesting a bunch queries, the parent being a select, and the children being inserts. I'd like to retain the auto generated IDs from the original table, and insert them into the new tables (into identity fields). I believe that there is a command that I can use to temporarily turn identity auto numbering off for the current query - can anyone help me with this?
hi to the group, i am small problem, i am having two columns 1 is col1 which is a primary key and col2 any think .now i want to insert the data into second column at that time the first column must get the values in identity (like 1,2,3,4 etc) with out using identity(sql server)/generated always(db2) can any one knows please explain it
