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

Thanks in advance

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?
TIA,

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?
table2 is intially populated (basically this will serve as historical table for view); temptable and table2 will are similar except that table2 has two extra columns which are insertdt and updatedt
process:
1. get data from an existing view and insert in temptable
2. truncate/delete contents of table1
3. insert data in table1 by comparing temptable vs table2 (values that exists in temptable but not in table2 will be inserted)
4. insert data in table2 which are not yet present (comparing ID in t2 and temptable)
5. UPDATE table2 whose field/column VALUE is not equal with temptable. (meaning UNMATCHED VALUE)
* for #5 if a value from table2 (historical table) has changed compared to temptable (new result of view) this must be updated as well as the updateddt field value.
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.

I have a database that has an Identity field in one table which has duplicate values. how can this be? and is there any way that this can be adjusted or corrected. (this field is used as the primary key).....UG!
View 1 Replies View Relatedi have a website that accepts users on it. first the user will apply to make use of my site and the data that he supplied will be put to account table. my problem is how can i get the last inserted identity value lets say id, to create the id of the person applied by simply incrementing it... i dont want to use the built in function of the sql server. can anybody help me of this process. asap...
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat is the easiest way in T-SQL to reset the identity values of
the PK columns in a DB. Here's the scenario.
I'm going to be backing up a HUGE DB and then restoring
it to a new server. Once there I will run an SP to remove all the existing
data. The tables are now row-free. However my customer doesn't like that
the first record they add gets PK value of 5,321, or whatever.
After I remove all the data how can I reset the ids?
It would be nice to add some code to my sp_cleardb
that would go back and reset the identity columns
FYI
All of my tables use auto-incrementing identity fields with a seed of 1
1) I know how to do it in enterprise manager, but I need it in scripting
since I'll have to do it on hundreds of tables
2) I tried using alter table to drop the PK constraint, but that requires
knowing the pk constraint name, which is SQL generated and I won't know.
I think I got very close, but the code was just getting too big. I thought,
there must be an easier function to use, or a built in SP, or something?
Anyone know how to script this?
THanks in advance.

We are experiencing a problem at more than one site - it has only
just started happening.
We are actually getting duplicate Identity column values in various
tables and the values seem random - its not like the counter just gets
wound back.
We have used dbcc checkident and also bcp out and in the data, which
of course corrected the tables but only temporarily. Our application
is not doing any select into`s - just plain old inserts which for some
reason are allowing dups to be inserted into the tables.
problem sites are either sp3 or sp4.
There are thousands of sites (including most of ours) where there are
no problems like this with this particular app.
Any help from anyone would be most appreciated.
If I have an Identity-declared column, the table has lots of rows and I start deleteting records - will any old, deleted identities be re-used (without an explicit re-seed) ?
(I'm talking about numerical Identities, not these GUID things)
Going from Oracle to SQL 2000 and want to repeat Oracle process whereby the job_id field is generated using a trigger and a sequence one-up generator. These two values are then combined to create the job_id number. The sequence is simple: a minvalue, maxvalue and increment 1. The trigger is generating the first five characters from yyddd and appending the next sequence value to it.
Example:
JOB_ID: 08088155
YY: (Year = 08)
DDD: (88th day of year)
Next sequence number: (155)
When I create the table in SQL 2000 I will identify the JOB_ID column as an IDENTITY type data field, but is there any way to duplicate this Oracle sequence in SQL?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to avoid entering column names in the excel template for me to create an excel file froma dynamic excel using openrowset.
I have teh following code but it works fien when column names are given ahead of time.
If I remove the column names from the template and just to Select * from the table and Select * from sheet1 then it tells me that column names donot match.
Server: Msg 213, Level 16, State 5, Line 1Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
here is my code...
SET @sql1='select * from table1'SET @sql2='select * from table2'
IF @File_Name = '' Select @fn = 'C:Test1.xls' ELSE Select @fn = 'C:' + @File_Name + '.xls' -- FileCopy command string formation SELECT @Cmd = 'Copy C:TestTemplate1.xls ' + @fn
-- FielCopy command execution through Shell Command EXEC MASTER..XP_CMDSHELL @cmd, NO_OUTPUT -- Mentioning the OLEDB Rpovider and excel destination filename set @provider = 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' set @ExcelString = 'Excel 8.0;HDR=yes;Database=' + @fn

My process return a date in char format like "3/12/1998",
How could I put this data ( in char ) directly to date ISQ Server field ?

To All,
I have a table [multiple entries over the web] where the identity field values do not appear in order using a simple SELECT [no ORDER BY]. Why?
I created table
create table t1
(
oid int identity(1, 1),
f tinyint
)
and need way to fill it as fast as possible with say 100000 sequential values. Field f may stay = 0 but oid should be raising from row to row. How can I do it in MSSQL 2000?
Hi All,
This is my stored procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE testProc AS
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #tblTest(ID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY, Col1 INT)
INSERT INTO #tblTest(Col1)
SELECT colA FROM tableA ORDER BY colA
END
This is my simple procedure, I wanted to know whether the IDENTITY values created in #tblTest will always be consistent, I mean without losing any number in between. i.e. ID column will have values 1,2,3,4,5.....
or is there any chance of ID column having values like 1,2, 4, 6,7,8....
Please reply...

This is a very basic question on replication.
I'm having a central Server with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition and Other sites with Sql Express Server 2005.
Other sites will also be adding New records and data will be replicated to Central server and from there it will be distributed to all sites.
Question is that if Other sites are also adding Records how i can assing Identity values in those databases. There are few restricitons on this :-
1. I don't want to use GUID.
2. Numbers should be sequential that is after 1000, 1001, 1002 etc. should come.
i thought of adding Negative Values in the primary key on other sites and then when data is replicated on central server then replace it with sequential key but i'm not clear on how to accomplish this.
any help will be highly appreciable.
Is there any way to get the new identity values created after an OLE DB Destination has finished its inserts?
Basically my problem is this...
My source database has its primary and foreign key columns as a GUID datatype. In my conversion, my destination database will be using INT (identity) columns for primary/foreign keys. How do I propagate the foreign key relationships to the destination database in an SSIS package? So obviously I can use an OLE DB Destination to generate the data with identities for the parent table, but after that I am stuck in how to create the relationships for the child tables.
I know how to do this in TSQL fairly easily (cursor or temp tables), but it doesn't seem so simple in SSIS.
thanks in advance.
We are facing the following issue, several machines/users that are executing very often a command similar to :
INSERT INTO TableName (FieldOne,FieldTwo) VALUES ('ValueOne','ValueTwo');
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS Table_ID;
Where TableName has a primary key defined as identity(1,1).and that Table_ID is being used as reference in others tables
These queries are executed using different dababase users and among several diffrent apps..The Problem is that we are detecting lost block of "Table_ID's" as the other tables shows the InsertedID as a reference, but the TableName table lacks of this ID record. In other words, the INSERT seems to work, the SCOPE_Identity returns an InsertedID, and the other tables are populated using this number. However, when we query the TableName table the mentioned record does not exist. We are profiling the server and we're sure that there are no DELETE statement on the TableName table. This seems to be happening when the are either deadlocks or blocked processes. Whenever the deadlocks and locks disappear/solved, everything works as expected.why the Scope_Identity returns the Inserted ID if the INSERT action had failed.
Howdy all,
I've run into an interesting scenario that I can't seem to resolve.
We have a table that we are using to create sequence ids. It's literally a table with a single field with the identity value turned on.
create table ident (seq_id int identity(1,1) primary key NOT NULL)
If I want to grab a new sequence id, I can execute
INSERT INTO
ident
DEFAULT VALUES
SELECT scope_identity() AS seq_id
All is well and good. However, now let's suppose that instead of just one, I'd like to get a range of values.
If the table had one other field in it, I could do the following
create table ident2 (seq_id int identity(1,1) primary key NOT NULL, placeholder char(1))
GO
;
WITH RECORDS AS
(
SELECT
CAST('A' as char(1)) AS col1
UNION ALL
SELECT
char(ascii(col1) + 1)
FROM
RECORDS
WHERE
col1 < 'C'
)
INSERT INTO
ident2
OUTPUT
INSERTED.seq_id
SELECT
NULL
FROM
RECORDS
Can this be done if there is only the identity column and if so, someone care to educate me?

Hi Guys
Is there an easy way to pad identity column values with zeros to the left (0001, 0010,0100, etc) or I will just have to format them before displaying

From a design perspective, all I can say is "it's not mine" but I do have to live with it, or at least my coworker has to live with it. I'm merely trying to prevent them from opening a cursor and calling the default values version 45M times and no, that's not an exageration.
Hello,
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.
Thanks.
Hello,
We have a couple of tables that can have quite a bit of data each day prior to replication. Can we increase the default values for a table for each subscription? For example we have a table called table1 and on the sqlexpress client they could enter in 10000 rows a day, on table2 it's just 100 rows a day. How can we increase the values to where we do not get the error for table1 stating that the insert failed because it conflicted with the identity range check constraint. Thanks in advance.
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 need to insert into a table that has an identity insert set to on.
I need to know how to turn it off while I insert data into the table.

Help!
I need to be able to insert into an Identity column and tried putting
SET IDENTITY_INSERT table ON
in a stored procedure , but it didn't like this if not dbo, which will be the case.
Is there anyway of globally making this setting and leaving it on permenantly
