In my dts package i have a t-sql task step that does the following.

Insert New Record
INSERT INTO MSR_Incent
        (MSR_Incent.Teller,
MSR_Incent.Branch,
   MSR_Incent.Acct,
              MSR_Incent.sfx,
MSR_Incent.DOS,
              MSR_Incent.Base_Serv,
MSR_Incent.Has1,
              MSR_Incent.Has2,
MSR_Incent.Has3,
MSR_Incent.Has4,
MSR_Incent.Has5,
   MSR_Incent.Has1Da,
MSR_Incent.Has2Da,
MSR_Incent.Has3Da,
MSR_Incent.Has4Da,
MSR_Incent.Has5Da)
SELECT MSR_Incent_I.Teller,
MSR_Incent_I.Branch,
  MSR_Incent_I.Acct,
       MSR_Incent_I.sfx,
MSR_Incent_I.DOS,
       MSR_Incent_I.Base_Serv,
Msr_Incent_I.Has1,
       Msr_Incent_I.Has2,
Msr_Incent_I.Has3,
Msr_Incent_I.Has4,
Msr_Incent_I.Has5,
             Msr_Incent_I.Has1Da,
Msr_Incent_I.Has2Da,
Msr_Incent_I.Has3Da,
Msr_Incent_I.Has4Da,
Msr_Incent_I.Has5Da
FROM Msr_Incent_I
WHERE not EXISTS
    (SELECT *
       FROM Msr_Incent
       WHERE MSR_Incent_I.Teller = MSR_Incent.Teller and
                    MSR_Incent_I.Branch = MSR_Incent.Branch and
                    MSR_Incent_I.Acct = MSR_Incent.Acct and
                    MSR_Incent_I.Sfx = MSR_Incent.Sfx and
                    MSR_Incent_I.DOS = MSR_Incent.DOS and
                    MSR_Incent_I.Base_Serv = MSR_Incent.Base_Serv
     )
go

when i try to run it i get a the following error:
Violation of the PRIMARY KEY constraint 'Pk_MSR_incent'. Cannot Insert duplicate key in Object'MSR_Incent'
i have checked the two tables and i cannot figure out what the problem is. the step ran in the past with out any errors.

any ideas?

under your not EXISTS clause, are you sure all the join conditions cover the primary key on the main table?

Try using a LEFT JOIN instead.

blah...
blah...
 Msr_Incent_I.Has5Da
  FROM Msr_Incent_I
  LEFT JOIN Msr_Incent
       ON MSR_Incent_I.Teller = MSR_Incent.Teller 
       AND MSR_Incent_I.Branch = MSR_Incent.Branch 
       AND MSR_Incent_I.Acct = MSR_Incent.Acct 
       AND MSR_Incent_I.Sfx = MSR_Incent.Sfx 
       AND MSR_Incent_I.DOS = MSR_Incent.DOS 
       AND MSR_Incent_I.Base_Serv = MSR_Incent.Base_Serv 
WHERE MSR_Incent.Teller IS NULL
go

In that case the fields MSR_Incent.Teller, MSR_Incent.Branch, MSR_Incent.Acct, MSR_Incent.Sfx, MSR_Incent.DOS & MSR_Incent.Base_Serv do not make up a unique key.

You'll need to specify all necessary fields that make up the unique key.

Thanks will try that also, but what i did as a temp fis was to drop the msr_incent table and rebuild it, and for some reason the dts worked

Hi

I have faced the similar problem..But in that case 'select query was returning duplicate rows.

So I just given group by of all selected fields and the issue was solved
