DTS Table From Access To SQL, Identity Column Error. Should Be Easy, But I Can't Figure It Out.
Oct 4, 2007
I am trying to move data from Access to SQL Server 2000 using DTS.
I have an Access Source and SQL Server Desitination, My destination table has a field called tableID that is not in the source. TableID is a Primary Key and an Identity column.
I have Enable Identity Insert checked in the options of the Transform Data Task.
When I execute ythe task, I get the error
"Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'TableID'. Does not allow nulls. Insert Fails.
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
Hi , I have two tables within a SQL database. The 1st table has an identified column and column which lists one of more email identifers for a second table, e.g. ID Email -- ---------- 1 AS1 AS11 2 AS2 AS3 AS4 AS5 3 AS6 AS7
The second table has a column which has an email identifier and another column which lists one email address for that particular identifier, e.g. ID EmailAddress --- ------------------ AS1 abcstu@emc.com AS2 abcstu2@emc.com AS3 abcstu3@emc.com AS4 abcstu4@em.com AS5 abcstu5@emc.com AS6 abcstu6@emc.com AS7 abcstu7@emc.com AS11 abcstu8@emc.com I need to create a stored procedure or function that: 1. Selects an Email from the first table, based on a valid ID, 2. Splits the Email field of the first table (using the space separator) so that there is an array of Emails and then, 3. Selects the relevant EmailAddress value from the second table, based on a valid Email stored in the array Is there any way that this can be done directly within SQL Server using a stored procedure/function without having to use cursors?
We have an application written in MS Access. The tables are linked to a SQL 2000 database. The problem is that sometimes insert a new record in a table freezes and times out after a while without anything has happened. When installing the application the *mdb file is copied over to the C drive and an ODBC connection is written to the registry. The application is used by many in the company. We have problems on tables defined with IDENTITY columns. Can this be our problem and how can we solve it?
I have table contains more columns and first column have ID int not null primary key and auto increment by 1 seed by 1 the ID 165000 record and instant Jump to 166000 and increment by 1 ...
Hi guys, If I have a temporary table called #CTE With the columns [Account] [Name] [RowID Table Level] [RowID Data Level] and I need to change the column type for the columns: [RowID Table Level] [RowID Data Level] to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time. What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance, Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE ALTER COLUMN [RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1), [RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE MODIFY [RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1), [RowID Data Level] INT;
For some reason my primary key, identity column skipped a couple of numbers. It went from row 734 to 736, 737, 739 Any ideas why this would happen? thanks
hi, As i have created a table with a identity column and now i am using a procedure to insert the values into that table....but when i execute it it gives an err saying err converting varchar data to int and also on the asp.net ......plz help me out for the procedure and the using it with sqlcommand in .net.
create table demo2(id int identity(1,1),name varchar(20)) create procedure sp_demo2 (@id int,@name varchar(20))as begin insert into demo2(name) values(@name) set @id=@@identity end
The following is an approximation of the code I'm trying:
SELECT 'dummy' as DummyField, FieldA, FieldB, FieldC, FieldD, FieldE, FieldF, FieldG, FieldH, FieldI, FieldJ, FieldK, FieldL, AVG(AMT) AS AMT, AVG(QTY) AS QTY, FieldM
FROM GetMonthlyData('200501') as i
GROUP BY DummyField, FieldA, FieldB, FieldC, FieldD, FieldE, FieldF, FieldG, FieldH, FieldI, FieldJ, FieldK, FieldL, FieldM
It checks out OK syntactically but whenever I try to run it I get a message like the following:
Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Line 1 Invalid column name 'DummyField'. Server: Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Invalid column name 'DummyField'.
I've also tried not giving DummyField an alias and using the 'dummy' value in the GROUP BY clause but that won't even get by the CheckMark button:
Server: Msg 164, Level 15, State 1, Line 8 GROUP BY expressions must refer to column names that appear in the select list.
I have fixed length records (167 bytes) in a .txt file and want to loadthis data exactly as is into a staging table where I hope to be able tolater get at selected columns using the SUBSTRING function.

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?
I use OPENROWSET to read values from Excel and store them in a SQL Server table. In the Excel file I have a row having format 'Number' with two decimal places.
Example: 1225000.00
When I select this value using SSMS I get the correct value:
1225000
Strange enough, I cannot see the decimals anymore. However, when I now store this value into my table and then select it from there I get: (the datatype in the table is VARCHAR(max))
1.225e+006
I would not care if I could convert this back to a numeric datatype but this seems not to work: CAST('1.225e+006' as INT) throws an exception. Obviously OPENROWSET sends the data strictly as a character string. Storing this into varchar(max) works for small figures but it starts to use exp values for big figures.
Does anybody has an idea how to bring huge Excel based figures safely into a MS SQL Table ?
I am trying to create a temp table with an identity column. Here is the code that I am using...
SELECT UserId, IDENTITY(int, 1, 1) AS colId INTO #User FROM MyUserTable WHERE UserId = 1
I am getting an error though.
Server: Msg 8108, Level 16, State 1, Line 9 Cannot add identity column, using the SELECT INTO statement, to table '#User', which already has column 'UserId' that inherits the identity property.
for some unknow reasons.. my store proc stop working.. and i got an error.. i have installaed the latest SP4 for SQL server 2000 and still have the problem !any ideas why ?? Message "An explicit value for the identity column in table 'LCMS_Modules' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON."CREATE procedure LCMS_Modules_Add @PageID int, @ModuleDefID int, @Panename nvarchar(32), @Title nvarchar(128), @Admins nvarchar(256) as insert into LCMS_Modulesvalues(@PageID, @ModuleDefID, 99, @Panename, @Title, '0;', @Admins, 0, '', 'Center', '', '', '', 1, 0)GO
INSERT Table1 (UserName, Description) SELECT * FROM TABLE2
results in the error erver: Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 2 Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Id', table 'CDS_Live.dbo.Table1'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The statement has been terminated.
I was under the impression that an identity column would be automatically inserted by SQL server. Now I know I could write a piece of anonymous Transact SQL which declares a cursor by selecting all rows from table 2 and inserting rows into table 1 on a row by row basis, but is there any way I could do the Insert with a single INSERT statement?
HI,I have an SQL Server table with only 1 column. That column is anidentity column. How can I insert a row in this table using SQLsyntax?I tried insertinto T_tableName () values ()and a few other options, but I can't seem to get it to insert.ThanksAlain
I've got a table with 36+ million rows. I've been asked to modify thetable and add in an identity column. The code I used caused SQL tolock up and it maxed out the log files. :)The code I used is:Begin TransactionAlter Table ODS_DAILY_SALES_POSADD ODS_DAILY_SALES_POS_ID BigInt NOT NULL IDENTITY (1,1)CommitIs there a way to break up the code? Maybe only do a few millionrecords at a time? Or is there a way to do this without lockinganything up?Thanks,Jennifer
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.
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".
In a cursor, I declare a table variable like so: DECLARE @TempTable TABLE(RowID INT IDENTITY, valueID int) I then insert into that table from another table. The purpose is to get a list that looks like this after the insert: RowID valueID1 348972 345223 94822 etc.... However, the next time through my loop (cursor) I want to restart my RowID identity property, because the next batch of valueID's should then again have a RowID starting from 1. I tried delete from @TempTable DBCC CHECKIDENT(@TempTable , RESEED, 0) but I get 'Must declare the variable @TempTable table' error. Is there a way to destroy and recreate that @TempTable variable?
Whenever I import (or even append from another table) data to a table that has an Identity column, I get an error: Cannot insert NULL values in Identity column.
Isn't the Idenity column supposed to incement automatically without me having to provide a value? Using INSERT provides an Identity value automatically, using import however doesn't.
How can I overcome this problem? (I now delete and recreate the Identity column - really BAD practice!) Thank you.
I'm having difficulty bulk-copying a data file, using a format file, into a SQLServer 6.5 table with an identity column. The data file is tab-delimited, and does not include the identity column (I want it to be automatically generated).
When I execute the following:
bcp DB1.dbo.WORK_TABLE in WorkTable.txt -Usa -P -fWorkTable.fmt -SSERVERX'
I receive this message:
Starting copy... BCP copy in failed
I've had no problems loading a similar table without the identity column.
Can anybody help? Here is the table definition & bcp format:
I have a file I'm trying to do some non-set-based processing with. Inorder to make sure I keep the order of the results, I want to BULKINSERT into a temp table with an identity column. The spec says thatyou should be able to use either KEEPIDENTITY or KEEPNULLS, but I can'tget it to work. For once, I have full code - just add any file of yourchoice that doesn't have commas/tabs. :)Any suggestions, folks?--create table ##Holding_Tank ( full_record varchar(500)) -- thisworkscreate table ##Holding_Tank (id int identity(1,1) primary key,full_record varchar(500)) --that doesn't workBULK INSERT ##Holding_TankFROM "d: elnet_scriptspsaxresult.txt"WITH(TABLOCK,KEEPIDENTITY,KEEPNULLS,MAXERRORS = 0)select * from ##Holding_tank

Is it possible to insert the identity cloumn in a table via SSIS. I've an ID (Identity) column is a table and I am importing data in the table using Excel sheet. I want to insert the value of ID column as Identity(1,1).
