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!
when 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.
What is the best way to do Indentity(1,1) on fields which is varchar(8)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.

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.
i have table with one column
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tblTest](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
how do i insert values.(i,e identity)
I would like to reset the Identity column in a table so it starts at the begining. I am planning to clean out this table.
Thanks

I'm trying something new, and have hit a snag.
basically, I'm attempting to use two INSERT commands in a single SP. I want to use the PK from the new entry and apply that to the second.
here's the code;

I'm sure the problem is largely due to the fact that I am close to completely clueless on such things, but a bit of timely advice from the sage sql wizards here would be most welcome and greatly appreciated.
Hello folks,
I am using the following INSERT statement to add a new record in my table. I want to be able to get the Autonumber UserID field of the newly created record but I am getting the following error: "Characters found after end of SQL statement"
Code:
INSERT
INTO tblUser
(LoginName, UserPassword, EmailAddress, City)
Values
(@User, @UsrPassword, @EmailAddress, @City);
SELECT @@IDENTITY As 'Identity'
What is wrong in my statement?
How do I retrieve the Autonumber field of the newly created record?
How do I handle if the LoginName and/or EmailAddress already exists?
I want to be able save this INSERT statement as an Access Query and call it from my C# code.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

I 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.

Hello, everyone:
I have a table with an indentity column as first column. At beginning it is continue such as 0-50. I delete last 20 columns by hand. The 0-31 is left. When the new data is inserted, I hope the new indentity column begin from 32. How to do that? Now the indentity column begin from 51 as the new data is inserted.
Thanks a lot

Hi 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
Dear Friends,
I need a SQL Query to add a identity coloumn for anExisting table. (ie) when i try to alter the table i want to add an identity coloumn.
Thanks in advance.
I have a table in my db that has an identity column as the primary key. I have deleted all the data and have tried to use truncate table on it to reset the identity column. The table has a number of foreign key constraints so it will not truncate.
Is there any way to reset the indentity column without removing the constraints?
My UDF
FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_concat_boxes](@item varchar(10), @week int, @type char(1))
RETURNS VARCHAR(100)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Output varchar(100)
SELECT @Output = COALESCE(@Output + '/', '') +
CAST(quantity AS varchar(5))
FROM flexing_stock_transactions
WHERE item = @item AND week = @week AND firm_or_commission = @type
GROUP BY quantity
ORDER BY quantity
RETURN @Output
END
gives the same output every time it is called, despite different parameters passed. @Output does not change as expected.
Any ideas guys?
Hi,
consider my table,
s.no priority status
1 2 pending
2 3 pending

Now, if I insert a record as,
6 1 pending
the priority must be reset as follows,
s.no priority status
1 3 pending
2 4 pending
3 0 completed
4 2 pending
5 0 completed
6 1 pending

I have a few SQL tables that use an auto incrementing integer key field, ie it has 'is identify' set to yes
The tables have been used for testing while the application was developed.
I plan to delete all data from these tables when the application goes live. Is there a way to start SQL counting from 1 again without deleting and re-creating thr tables?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a SQL data source triggered with this code: string searchstring = TextBox2.Text;

SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("search_str", searchstring);
SqlDataSource1.SelectCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure; The second time this fires however, the SelectParameters.Add function creates another paramter and the stored procedure blows up. How do I do a reset like in old Classic ASP where you would set the DS = Nothing?
I have a table where I delete all the records, then reload. can I reset the identity to (1,1) Is there a SQL command for that?

In my application , DB has a large table. I write a small program to clear the table whenever the size of table is over 50 MB. At that time , I want to reset identity as 1. How can I do that?
Currently , my program delete old table and generate a new one with the same schema when the table is too large.But this is kind of ugly.
Can I reset the Auto_ID column in a table to start from 1 again?

Can a column of Identity type reset after it reaches its maximum value?

This morning I made a change to two tables in my live system. All I did was add a new column in each called 'suspense' with a data type of bit and a default value of '0'.
When the users started using the system they noticed that the record ID numbers had reset and were starting from 1 and going up 2, 3, 4 etc. The last good id number was about 20500. The id columns are set as primary key with identity and increment of 1.
This shouldn't happen should it? Is it a bug? I never touched the ID column, just added the new one.
I have a DTS package that deletes all the records in a table and repopulates from an ACCESS table. All's well except the primary key of the target table doesn't go back to 1.
What's the syntax in T-SQL to accomplish that?
I imagine it's dropping the column and adding it back - but since it's a primary key field, regular drop/add syntax isn't working for me.
Any help here is appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
