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?
How can I alter the default SORT order when SQL2000 originally installed ? --Is there a Store_Proc in SQL2000 to do this ? Thank you very much if you can help me !!
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,

P.S. Or should I pass the identity value back in a variable and not make it part of the data stream?
Okay... GoDaddy's driving me nuts!!! Anyone... please help. I am doing an insert into a database with: INSERT blah blah blah; SELECT @@IDENTITY; On EVERY OTHER SERVER I have tried this on (local SQLExpress 2005's and my companies various SQL2000 servers, this always returns for me the row number (of autoIndex number of the row just added to the database). My autoIndex was created with the following code: ALTER TABLE sites ADD autoIndex INT NOT NULL IDENTITY (1,1) PRIMARY KEY The code I have tried getting the identity with is: cmd.CommandText = "INSERT blah blah; SELECT @@IDENTITY;"; string autoIndex = Convert.ToString(cmd.ExecuteScalar()); cmd.Dispose(); I also tried: // bulding of SQL INSERT here cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); cmd.Dispose(); cmd = new SqlCommand(SQLDataSource_pics.SelectCommand, conn); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.CommandText = "SELECT @@IDENTITY;"; string autoIndex = Convert.ToString(cmd.ExecuteScalar()); Session.Add("autoIndex", autoIndex); Most of the time, I get a value of "0" (zero) for autoIndex. Every now an then (5%) of the time I get back a correct value.
I have a table with an integer field (contains test values like 2, 7,8,9,12,..) that I want to convert to an Identity field. How can this be done in t-sql?
Hi, I have some tables in a database with a identity (autoincrement) column (PK). After several operations (INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE), some holes appeared in the identity column, like this:
ContactId Contact 1 John 2 Mary 5 Sam 9 David
where ContactId is the identity column. Can I order the ContactId column, by removing the empty spaces, in order to the table appears like this?:

I have a table named PERSON and a field named PERSON_ID. How can I set this field to Autonumber? I know I have to use the IDENTITY command, but when I view this field in "design" view, all the IDENTITY options are grayed out.
How can I set this field with the IDENTITY properties?
I have an application written in Access 97 that connects to a SQL2000backend. One field is a description field that is a data type NTEXT in theSQL database. In my access form, I can not enter more than 255 characters.Before I converted the backend to SQL, the description field was a memofield in Access.What do I need to do to make it so I can enter more text into this field?

Please, How can I get the value of the identity field of the register that I was including in the data base. I am using a stored procedure in SQLSERVER in a asp .net application and I need to show that for the user, it´s like the number of the reclamation.
If my table has an IDENTITY field, say, the table schema is: CREATE TABLE BBB( id int NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1), name varchar(20), job varchar(40)) My data file, which does not carry the IDENTITY field and its field terminator. The data file looks like this:
debbie cao,programmer John Doe,engineer Mary Smith,consultant
I tried to use a format file to bulk copy data from the data file to the table. Never had any luck. On the other hand, if I put a comma before the name field, say, the data file looks like the following:
then, bcp works fine. But, my data file is automatically generated. It does not suppose to have the leading comma. Without the leading comma, I have no idea how may I make bcp work. The SQLBOL says it can be done. Does anybody have an example to show me? Please help, thanks!
We are experiencing an identity problem on a table with 3.7 millions rows of data in the table. The identity field is not auto numbering any more and are wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how to get the auto number field working again without doing a bcp and restoring the table back to the database from bcp. Any suggestions?
Having an unusual problem - have created several (20) tables in a database. All of these tables have an identity field in them (defined as FIELDNAME int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL ). In most of the tables this works as expected, but in 2, so far, when I do the first load (an insert based on a different database) the identity fields are all zero. Have recreated the tables, changed the field name and location, etc. Anyone have any clues ?
I am inserting some values into a table with the following stmt
Insert into table(number,name) values ('12','name')
In the table I have one more identity column ID. I know that I cannot insert a value in that column and the value is automatically increased once I insert a record. After this insert statment, I need to get the value of the ID (the most recent one) in the next select statement.
ie Select @@identity from table (any condition????)
How do I get the most recent ID value? Actually I m inserting the records in a loop and the ID is increased for every insert.
Example of table (currently) PayID (Primary Key) PaymentNumber (Identity Field) John 1 Tim 2 Chris 3 John (same as John above) 4 Jack 5 Steve 6
Would like to see it work this way PayID (Primary Key) PaymentNumber (Identity Field) John 1 John (same as John above) 2 Tim 1 Chris 1 Jack 1 Steve 1
Can the identity column be setup to start the counter over depending on value of PayeeID...If another Jack was added then the Payment Number would be 2 for Jack since there is already a record with value 1....
I inherited a system with a SQL 2000 DB. We discovered an identity field named barcode with some values that are incorrect. About 1000 of the records contain a barcode field with 13 digits, not forteen as required. This field is a standalone field only used on an ID card. I would like to select those 1000 records and update the barcode field to 14 digits. Is there an easy way to do this? Thx
Does ORDER BY work on character data type in SQL Server through ODBC? I tried using the SQL Query Tool in SQL Enterprise Manager and it works but using through ODBC I can't get any results.

In my SQL 2005 database table Records, I have 3 fields, field1, field2, and field3 which are all nvarchar(50) fields. The value of field2 is something like this, MDB006-MD002-0004-3-2007. I would like to order this field but only use the 0004-3-2007 part of the field to order it. Is it possible to put the last 11 charachters (0004-3-2007) in another field and then order it using this new field?
Dear all,In SQL Server 2000 , how to get distinct records sort by onefield .ExampleSELECT DISTINCT A FROM tblTEST ORBER BY BHere, In TableField 'A' contain more than one same data...Field 'B' contain all are different Data......I want distince in Field 'A' and order by Field 'B'..... how to getit.........regardskrishnan
How can I "Order By" the second + third characters of a 7 char field ?
Sample data looks like:
LCA - L
LCB - L
LCF - M
LCE - M
LCE - A
LCA - A
LCB - A If I order by the whole field I get:
LCA - A
LCA - L
LCB - A
LCB - L
LCE - A
LCE - M
LCF - L
LCF - M What I want is:
LCA - L
LCB - L
LCF - L
LCA - A
LCB - A
LCE - A
LCE - M
LCF - M I'm still at the stage in this project were I can 'split' the field (if I have to) into first 3 and last 1. But the sort order of the last 1 is not alphabetic (I want 'L', 'A', "M"). Can I substitute a custom SortOrder some way ? (I've done that with mainframe Cobol). All suggestions appreciated. Thanks Roger

1. Can someone tell me how to replicate the identity field. 2. When I use the 'NOT FOR REPLICATION' option, I keeps getting synx error. Here is the command: alter table tusers alter column {userid INT} IDENTITY (1, 1) [NOT FOR REPLICATION]. Do you know why? 3. When I use the transaction replication wizard, why some of the table do not allow me to replicate(There is a key and cross symbol on the articles selection)?
ok, so i get this error, Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'TBL_LAPTOP_BOOKINGS' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
i ran SET INDENTITY_INSERT TBL_LAPTOP_BOOKINGS ON before i ran my script... and i also checked, we are running SQL 2000 with service pack four, because of the cursor error....
so im just wondering, is there anyway to make identity_insert to always be on, or any other way to have a unique id in my booking_id field??
