Next Identity needed

  • How do you get SQL Server to assign the next identity to a query? I am getting a NULL not allowed for the identity column Sales_Organization_ID.

    insert into ATTU_Sales_organization ([Sales_Organization_CD]

    ,[Sales_Organization_TX]

    ,[Active_SW]

    ,[Load_Last_TM]

    ,[Load_First_TM]

    )

    select so.[Sales_Organization] as [Sales_Organization_CD]

    ,so.[Sales_Organization] as [Sales_Organization_TX]

    ,'Y' as [Active_SW]

    ,getdate() as [Load_Last_TM]

    ,getdate() as [Load_First_TM]

    from #so so

    left join ATTU_Sales_organization aso

    on so.Sales_organization = aso.Sales_Organization_CD

    where aso.Sales_Organization_CD is null

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[ATTU_Sales_organization](

    [Sales_Organization_ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

    [Sales_Organization_CD] [nvarchar](50) NOT NULL,

    [Sales_Organization_TX] [nvarchar](200) NULL,

    [Active_SW] [char](1) NULL,

    [Load_Last_TM] [datetime] NULL,

    [Load_First_TM] [datetime] NULL,

    CONSTRAINT [PK_ATTU_Sales_organization_1] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

    (

    [Sales_Organization_ID] ASC

    )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

    ) ON [PRIMARY]

  • SQL Server will assign the value automatically. Are you sure that the column has the identity property assigned correctly?

    At first, I thought another possibility would be having SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON, but that gives a different error.

  • Are you sure you read that error correctly and it wasn't complaining about the organization CD being null?

    I would just run the SELECT underlying the INSERT, so that you can check. I suspect something is failing one of the constraints.

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

  • That is what I understood.. and I think the create table has it set up correctly.. in my opening post.. Here is the error message:

    Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 1

    Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Sales_Organization_ID', table 'SCCOE_Order_Progression.dbo.ATTU_Sales_organization'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

    The statement has been terminated.

  • What's the result from this query?

    SELECT t.name, c.name, c.is_identity

    FROM SCCOE_Order_Progression.sys.columns c

    JOIN SCCOE_Order_Progression.sys.tables t ON c.object_id = t.object_id

    JOIN SCCOE_Order_Progression.sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id

    WHERE s.name = 'dbo'

    AND t.name = 'ATTU_Sales_organization'

    AND c.name = 'Sales_Organization_ID'

    What's the result from this query?

    SELECT t.name, c.name, c.is_identity

    FROM SCCOE_Order_Progression.sys.columns c

    JOIN SCCOE_Order_Progression.sys.tables t ON c.object_id = t.object_id

    JOIN SCCOE_Order_Progression.sys.schemas s ON t.schema_id = s.schema_id

    WHERE s.name = 'dbo'

    AND t.name = 'ATTU_Sales_organization'

    AND c.name = 'Sales_Organization_ID'

    The result is...

    name name is_identity

    ATTU_Sales_organizationSales_Organization_ID1

  • Now, that's weird. Have you tried reseeding the identity value?

    I'd post the syntax but I'm on my phone right now.

  • Is SCCOE_Order_Progression the database you're running all this in? Wondering if there's a trigger on that table inserting into a table of the same name in another DB.

    Far-fetched, but so far the symptoms are quite strange. For that matter, probably worth checking for triggers anyway.

    Cheers!

  • No trigger.. I copied the data out ....minus ID.. dropped the table and re-created.. copied the data back in and it is happy now. Still not sure what happened.
