I'm atempting to use an Instead of Insert Trigger on a view to insert a record into a base table. The base table boundaryline has an identity primary key defined. The following is the error I'm receiving:
The column 'id1' in table 'dbo.ParcelBoundaries1' cannot be null.
Could not insert a record in the database.
Hey all, I have been working with Northwind on SQL Server Express Trying to learn Transact-SQL. I am stuck at this point from code in the instruction manual. I don't know if I have a permission set to something that I need or what but I get the following error that is outlined at the bottom of the code. Any help would be appreciated.
--Test to see if supplied date is over seven days old. If so --replace with NULL value otherwise, truncate the time to be midnight.

I'm just wondering why the IDENTITY value is still used when you attempt an INSERT that fails?
I placed a Foreign Key Constraint on my table. When I put bogus data in the foreign key field to break the INSERT and get a 'Referential integrity Violated, Unable to Insert error' the Identities are still used!
For example, the Identity was last at 5. Then, I try 10 "bad" Inserts with Foreign Key Violations. The next time I Insert a record Successfully, the indentity starts at 16!!
why does the Identity get incremented when the Insert fails?
I'm using the personal website starter kit. I would like to add tags to my photos so I've added a Tags table (identity, tagDesc) and an intersection table PhotoTags (PhotoID,TagID). I pass a set of tags as a comma deliminated string such as (Home, Family). The procedure below (sorry I'm not a TSQL programmer) errors out with the message "Cannot insert null into TagDesc" or something like that.
--First Insert into the Photos Table INSERT INTO [Photos] ( [AlbumID], [BytesOriginal], [Caption], [BytesFull], [BytesPoster], [BytesThumb], [Latitude], [Longitude] ) VALUES ( @AlbumID, @BytesOriginal, @Caption, @BytesFull, @BytesPoster, @BytesThumb, @Latitude, @Longitude )
SET @Photoid = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
IF @@ERROR <> 0 ROLLBACK TRAN
------------------------------------------------------------ --now parse the tags and enter into PhotoTags and Tags Table ------------------------------------------------------------ --see if the tag exists WHILE @Tags <>'' BEGIN SET @Spot = CHARINDEX(',',@Tags) IF @Spot > 0 BEGIN SET @Tag = LEFT(@Tag,@Spot -1) SET @Tags = RIGHT(@Tags,LEN(@Tags) - @Spot) END ELSE BEGIN SET @Tag = @Tags SET @Tags = '' END
IF (NOT EXISTS(SELECT TagID FROM Tags WHERE LOWER(TagDesc) = LOWER(@Tag))) BEGIN INSERT INTO Tags (TagDesc) VALUES (@Tag) SET @TagID = SCOPE_IDENTITY() END ELSE SELECT @TagID = TagID FROM Tags WHERE LOWER(TagDesc) = LOWER(@Tag)
--finally insert into the intersection table INSERT INTO [PhotoTags] ( [PhotoID], [TagID] ) VALUES ( @Photoid, @TagID ) END
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?
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?
In the flat file SampleID and Product are populated in the first row only, rest of the rows only have values for Rep_Number, Protein, Fat, Solids.
SampleID and Product are blank for the rest of the rows. So my task is to fill those blank rows with the first row that has the sampleID and Product and load into the table.
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
I am getting this error: "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'OrderID', table 'outman.outman.Contact'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails." -- But my value is not null. I did a response.write on it and it show the value. Of course, it would be nice if I could do a breakpoint but that doesn't seem to be working. I'll attach a couple of images below of my code, the error, and the breakpoint error.

I have discovered a problem(?) with using replication on 7.0. It seems, no matter which type of replication I use (and I've used all of them), once the server is set up to be a publisher the global identity value is set to NULL. This doesn't seem to affect the identity values in existing tables but could very well affect the program code running the front end program.
I tried creating a new database on the same server just to see what would happen and the @@identity on that database is also NULL.
Does anyone know why this happens and is there a workaround to this? Again, it doesn't seem to affect the tables on which there are identity columns, they are incrementing properly, but I'm worried about the front end programs that are already in existence and are in the process of being developed.
I have a table tblnetwork on which identity property is defined on column networkid.
When I issue the following command new record is getting inserted into tblnetwork and identity column is getting incremented properly. But, I am not able to get the @@identity value It is returned as NULL.
hi, I've done Googling and forum hunting but haven't had success finding a simple answer... My table schema is such that it requires the (int) LinkedItemID field to be nullable but still those fields which are set must not be duplicates. I see constraint is out of question and also identity doesn't seem to fit since I'm not using autofill for this particular field. Is there some other way doing this on Sql Server 2005?
Well i insert many Teachers uning : insert into values ... etc. These inserts are being placed in an sql file named insert.sql. All the insertions are fine.
Now I'm trying to insert another teacher using another file e.g. my_insert.sql and it says cannot insert NULL into teacher tid etc.
Why does this happen,in my my_insert.sql file all the filds of the tid are filled with non null values?
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.
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 have a question: i have a table that has an identity id column called pId and also a column called ParentPid. now my question is that i want to insert the value of pId into the ParentPid when i'm adding a new Property to a table. any idea? thanks
Hey, I've been having problems - when trying to insert a new row i've been trying to get back the unique ID for that row. I've added "SELECT @MY_ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY();" to my query but I am unable get the data. If anyone has a better approach to this let me know because I am having lots of problems. Thanks,Lang
I have 2 tables - tblOrders and tblOrderDetails. Every time an order is placed, 2 INSERT statements are executed. The first one enters the general order and customer information in the tblOrders table:INSERT INTO tblOrders (custname, custdetails, orderdate) VALUES (@custname, @custdetails, @orderdate)The primary key in this table is OrderID which is an Identity column. This is the foreign key in the tblOrderDetails table.I'm trying to get the Identity value from the first INSERT statement to use in the second INSERT statement:INSERT INTO tblOrderDetails (orderid, productid, productcost) VALUES (@orderid, @productid, @productcost)How do i obtain this value and how would I supply it to the second INSERT statement?
Hi All: I have what I'm sure is a common scenario...I have a table to track pageviews of a form, and which also tracks when a person viewing the form submits it. The table has three fields: an INT identity/PK field, a DATETIME (default getdate()) field, and a BIT field with default "false". When the page is viewed, I insert a record into the dB: Protected Sub Page_load(ByVal src As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
conn = New SqlConnection("Server=myserver;Database=mydb;User ID=user;Password=password;Trusted_Connection=false;") If Not IsPostBack Then AddTrack() End If End Sub Sub AddTrack()
Dim myCommand As SqlCommand Dim insertTrack As String insertTrack = "Insert PageTracker (submitted) Values (0)"myCommand = New SqlCommand(insertTrack, conn) myCommand.Connection.Open() Try myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()tempTxt.Text = "<br>Ticked</b><br>" & insertTrack Catch ex As SqlException tempTxt.Text = ex.Number.ToString()
End Try myCommand.Connection.Close() End Sub And if I view the page, the record is inserted into the table. But now I need to know the value of the identity field, so when the form is submitted, I can update the field "submitted" from "0" to "1". The way I would do it in ASP is to add a "SELECT @@identity" to the query, and get the value using RS.nextrecordset. How would I do this in .NET? or is there a better way for me to do this?
