Error Finding Identity Column

Jan 13, 2008

I'm using SQL 2005 Server Management Studio -

I go to the Northwind database - new query window and paste this code, I just found on this forum, to find the Identity column:
SELECT C.name AS Colname, UPPER(U.name) AS Coltype, C.status AS Cstatus,
  C.ColId, C.Id AS Cid, C.length, C.xprec, C.xscale
  FROM syscolumns C
  JOIN sys.tables O ON C.id = O.object_id
  JOIN systypes   U ON C.xusertype = U.xusertype 
  WHERE O.name =  'Fred' AND C.status = 128
  ORDER BY C.colid SELECT C.name AS Colname, UPPER(U.name) AS Coltype, C.status AS Cstatus,
  C.ColId, C.Id AS Cid, C.length, C.xprec, C.xscale
  FROM syscolumns C
  JOIN sys.tables O ON C.id = O.object_id
  JOIN systypes   U ON C.xusertype = U.xusertype 
  WHERE O.name =  'Products' AND C.status = 128
  ORDER BY C.colid

However, I get an error message saying:
Invalid object name 'sys.tables'.

What might I be missing here?

Finding 'Error Column' Causing Error

Apr 16, 2007

Good Morning,



Am I new at this so please bear with me. I searched the site and found threads on identifying the meaning of an error code and have instituted that scripting. It is telling me that I have a 'The data value cannot be converted for reasons other than sign mismatch or data overflow.' error. It identifies the colum as 5301.

I searched the threads and found one telling me I could do an advanced editor search on the lineage id to find the column being referenced. I have traced the entire process using this information and cannot find a reference lineage id of 5301. Was that thread information accurate, and if so what do I do now? If not, can someone tell me how the heck I find column 5301? I cannot load my table from a flat file because of this.



Work so far:

I have checked for integrity between column definitions and source flat file. I applied derived column changes to make the data transform to the appropriate data type/order where necessary. This part works without error. (Or seems to, there is no error output from this piece.) It is only on the final attempt to load that the process errors with these messages.



Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.

Error 8102:cannot Update Identity Column

Dec 4, 2003

I set up replication on my DB between two server. The Publisher will not update tables on the Subscriber that use an identity column and I get an error "8102:cannot update identity column". I have looked around and can't seem to locate any solid fixes. If I remove the identity column from the subscribers tables the package works, but I am not able to use the DB on the subscriber because I need the Identity columns for my app to function properly. My Publisher and Subscriber are both running SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition SP3.

Thanks.

Error 8102: Cannot Update Identity Column

Mar 1, 2004

Hi,

I'd set up Transactional Replication btw 2 servers running on MSSQL 2000.

However, from time to time, I encounter Error 8102. I try to reinitialise the subscription but failed. After I delete the current subscription and PUSH a new one, it will works fine again.

I'm curious why this is happening as I'd already set all the tables (articles) in the subscriber to "YES, not_for_replication".

Any idea?

Thanks.

'Cannot Insert Duplicate Key' Error With Identity Column As PK

Feb 18, 2008



I guess there is first for everything...I had never seen error like this before

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_table1'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'table1'. The statement has been terminated.

In this case Primary Key is Identity column. I do not include Idenity column in Insert statement.



Incidently SQL server machines had cluster failure couple of days before. I am not sure whether it has anything to do with it.


I see this error randomly.

How should I debug it

Fuzzy Lookup | Mutiple Identity Column Error

May 22, 2007

Hi,

I have a table t1 and t2 with following structure.

t1(

ID1 int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,

name1 varchar(20),

addr1 varchar(20)

)



t2(

ID2 int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,

name2 varchar(20),

addr2 varchar(20)

)



Objective here is to match name1 and name2 column using fuzzy look up. So, I used t1 as source table and t2 as reference/lookup table and mapped name1 and name2 column in Fuzzy look up editor. As output column I selected "ID2" column from t2.



Now when i run the package, it throws error

"Multiple identity columns specified for table '##FLRef_070522_14:16:39_5064_c1c6cbbd-5a54-4e36-9154-1371118f0931'. Only one identity column per table is allowed."



I suppose that during Fuzzy lookup, SSIS internally created temporary table and thats where this error occurs when adding two columns as identity. Can someone help me in resolving this issue.



Thanks

Sid

PS: I need ID2 column as output for further calculation.

Finding Valid Identity Range On Merge Subscriber

Nov 22, 2006

I am using merge replication with automatic identity range management

I want to be able to give a disconnected subscriber a warning message if a certain percentage of the allocated subscriber identity range has been used
- so that they can make sure they reconnect soon to obtain a new identity range

I can get the current identity value OK, but I can't find a good way of finding the current permitted primary and secondary ranges

The information is available in the check constraint, but I don't really want to have to parse this!

CONSTRAINT [repl_identity_range_0DF907AC_40CF_4849_9BD0_2173C90A3805] CHECK NOT FOR REPLICATION (([ContactID]>(10000040000.)
AND [ContactID]<=(10000050000.) OR [ContactID]>(10000050000.) AND [ContactID]<=(10000060000.)))

I can't find any system view which will provide this information

Is there a recommended way of doing this?

Thanks

How To Use Identity On Non-identity Column (with Concurrence)

Aug 1, 2014

I'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

Finding The Difference Between Two Column From Two Different Datasets

Nov 21, 2007

Hi

I always seem to come back to dataset issues. Nonetheless, here is my problem:

I am retrieving data using a stored procedure that lists the number of bookings per hour and the revenue that generates also per hour. So, you enter a single date in the stored procedure, for example 2001-10-01 and it will bring back 24 rows corresponding to the 24 hours (obviously) and two columns, one displaying the number of bookings and one displaying how much revenue.

Pretty simple so far.

I have a report using SQL Reporting Services that allows users to enter two dates and therefore you get two tables with the relevant dates data. For example, table one has date 1's data and table 2 has as you'd expect date 2's data. Both tables use different datasets.

The reason why I am using different tables and different datasets is that the stored procedure I use only allows the use of one date at a time therefore, I use a second dataset to generate the second date's data.

The problem occurs when I want to calculate a difference between the two date's data, for example have another table that shows the differrence between table one and table two for bookings for each corresponding hour.

Anyone have any ideas as to how I could achieve this?

I have done a series of case when statements and I am able to get it down to 1 to 2 entries per student number, but I need to get it down to only 1 date per student number.

Thank you for your help

Finding UNIQUE Values In Only One Column

Jan 28, 2008

I am using Access 2007 and I have 10 columns of data.

I am trying to select all the data from all 10 columns where the first column's data returns only the Unique values and the other columns return all the data from the row that is returned from the first column.

I have used this

SELECT DISTINCT [SFR Rates All].Sorter, [SFR Rates All].SProgram, [SFR Rates All].S_Price, [SFR Rates All].Min_Loan, [SFR Rates All].Max_Loan
FROM [SFR Rates All];

But that returns all the data in the table and all values in the Sorter column with duplicates because each row has distinct data.

I am trying to return unique values from [SFR Rates All].Sorter (the first column) and all the data from the other 9 columns that are contain the row with the unique value in Sorter.

I know that I am missing something basic but well, I can't figure it out.

Thanks
