Primary Key not being transfered

  • I have an SSIS package that copies some tables from a replicated copy of a database to an archive database. It runs once a month.

    I'm using the transfer SQL Server Objects task. I had it running for a few months with some problems and decided to edit it. I created a new package with the same task and fewer tables. I set it to copy the data, schema and primary keys. The data transfers but not the primary keys. One thing i changed is not to copy indexes. Is this the reason?

    I don't need the indexes just the primary key because the data is used in a report that runs once a month.

  • Is the PK an IDENTITY field? If so, you'll have to enable IDENTITY insert.

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

  • it's a varchar column in this case
