An explicit value for the identity column in table

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_Modules
values(@.PageID, @.ModuleDefID, 99, @.Panename, @.Title, '0;', @.Admins, 0, '', 'Center', '', '', '', 1, 0)
GO

Have you reordered the columns in your LCMS_Modules table? I amguessing that you did, and that the identity column had previously beenat the end and is now in the beginning or somewhere in the middle.
Specify your column names in your INSERT statement. This is a best practice anyway and should take care of your problem.
insert into LCMS_Modules (column1, column2, column3, ...etc..., column15),
values(@.PageID, @.ModuleDefID, 99, @.Panename, @.Title, '0;', @.Admins, 0, '', 'Center', '', '', '', 1, 0)

An "EXISTS" Problem

Hey, guys,
Below are my DDL,
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[test1] (
[id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[A] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_CI_AS NULL ,
[B] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_CI_AS NULL
)
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[test2] (
[A] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_CI_AS NULL ,
[B] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Chinese_Taiwan_Stroke_CI_AS NULL
)
test1 table
id A B
--
1 c 1
2 c 2
3 c 3
4 c 4
6 b
9 d
10 e
test2 table
A B
--
c 1
b 1
b 2
d 1
result table
id A B
--
2 c 2
3 c 3
4 c 4
6 b
9 d
Here is my sql to get the result table
SELECT P.id,P.A,P.B
FROM test1 P left outer join test2 R on P.A=R.A
WHERE (NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM test2 Q
WHERE P.A = Q.A AND P.A + P.B = Q.A + Q.B))
and R.A is not null
group by P.id,P.A,P.B
Can this SQL command be neater?
thanks a lot.
AllenHere are a couple of other methods, although 'cleaner' is a bit subjective'.
Personally, I prefer the NOT EXISTS technique over LEFT JOIN.
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(1,'c',1)
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(2,'c',2)
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(3,'c',3)
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(4,'c',4)
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(6,'b', NULL)
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(9,'d', NULL)
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES(10,'e', NULL)
GO
INSERT INTO test2 VALUES('c', 1)
INSERT INTO test2 VALUES('b', 1)
INSERT INTO test2 VALUES('b', 2)
INSERT INTO test2 VALUES('d', 1)
GO
SELECT P.id, P.A, P.B
FROM test1 P
JOIN test2 R ON P.A = R.A
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT *
FROM test2 Q
WHERE
P.A = Q.A AND P.B = Q.B
)
GROUP BY P.id, P.A, P.B
GO
SELECT P.id, P.A, P.B
FROM test1 P
JOIN test2 R ON P.A = R.A
LEFT JOIN test2 Q ON P.A = Q.A AND P.B = Q.B
WHERE Q.A IS NULL
GROUP BY P.id, P.A, P.B
GO

Hope this helps.

Always selecting at least 10 rows?

Hi,
I use an Identity column to create row numbers displayed in a DataGrid. The
datagrid typically displays row 1-10, 11-20 etc. The datagrid is filled us
ing
SELECT * FROM Tabel WHERE RowID BETWEEN Start AND End.
If rows 1-10 is removed from the table, there are no rows displayed since th
e select statement returns none for this range.
What I am looking for is an elegant way of retrieving at least n rows with r
ow numbers from x or above. Something along the line of
SELECT 10 FROM Tabel WHERE RowID >= 1
Can this be done, or do I need to use cursors? SqlDataReader and loop?
MortenHo Morten,
If you already have an identity column use this to order againt it.
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM Table Order by YouridentColumn
You should also consider to sue the paging machanisam in the datagrid
(if you are using .NET).
HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.|||SELECT TOP 10 * FROM Tabel WHERE RowID >= 1

largest ids. Works like a charm :)
Oh, and the paging mechanism is my own since the datagrid paging is too limi
ted.

TOP requires an ORDER BY clause to guarantee consistent results.
Otherwise, you might get somewhat random data.

Alternative to Identity Help.

I have a SSIS package that imports an Excel file using Visual Basic 2005 into my SQL 2005 database. All the fields are the same in the DB and xls. The package runs with no problem but I need one of the fields to be autoincrement. I tried to set up the properties of one of my fields "ID" to be an Identity. This didn't seem to work at all. There are about 1300 records in the DB so far with the last "ID" number being 10001415. Before now, the numbers were inputed manually. I want the "ID" to be assigned when the SSIS package imports the xls file.

Any help is very appreciated.

Not really. I opened the SQL Server Management Studio and tried to edit the DTSX package. I couldn't find any of those options you mention in the article. I am not that familiar with SSIS. I just used the wizard to create it.

|||

I think all you have to do is to set a column in the target table to be an Identity (Identity Specification = Yes).

BTW, to edit a ssis package you have to use Business Intelligence Studio.

|||

I previously set my column to Identity = Yes. When I run my DTSX package I get an error. It will not let me change a current column to identity and then import new data into the column. I tried creating a new column whith the Is Identity set to Yes with the appropriate seed and increment, however, I have records that have been deleted and now the numbering is off from the original format. What I mean is I have records numbered 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 12, etc in the DB in that order. When I create the new column and set the ID, it is unaware that I have records missing and what I end up with is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.

I also tried creating a new SSIS package in order to use surrogate ID's and cannot figure out how to implement that within my import from Excel.

Please help!

If you want to insert explicit values in a identity colum you have to alter the table:

SET IDENTITY_INSERT <tableName> ON

|||

I set all that up and I still get an error that I have violated the constraints for the column. The column that I am importing from EXCEL is blank. I want it to get a number when it is imported by the DTSX job. When I put a number in that column within the EXCEL sheet the number stays the same. Any ideas?

Don't map that column to the destination column. Leave it out of the Import/Export Wizard and you should get the results you desire.
