SQL Server Identity / Largest Number Record Id (identity) Column Can Hold
Jan 1, 2011
I am developing a asp.net application and i am using SQL Server 2008. I took a IDENTITY column as Record_ID for detail table where i will have trillions of records per year. So just want to ask whats the largest number record id (identity) column can hold and in ASP.NET which data type i should use to handle record id as i am using this id as a reference to update the table data. I don't want to end up being trapped some day.
I am in a serious trouble right now, i wanted to know that how to write a query in LINQ to SQL to retrieve identity column's current value before inserting any value.
I need this cos i m building a windows app n i need to display this value before inserting a record. I have tried DataContext.ExecuteCommand('DBCC CHECKIDENT (Tablename)') but it returns the number of rows modified.
I have a table converted from Access and the identity keys were lost. Now I need to make the id column the identity column, but it already has a lot of null values, how do I auto generate integer values for the null rows? The row ids are incremented, so if there is a way to auto increment the ids
I recently moved a .net site from one machine to another, now for some reason one of the stored procedures is throwing an exception when attempting to insert!
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An explicit value for the identity column in table 'dbo.tbl_Events' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON
BTW, the column in question does have the identity set to Yes in management studio
I was using originally SQL 2005, now its on SQLexpress 2008
I have an insert table with identity specification set. And I getthis error. I'm using a stored procedure to store it. How do I correct it. I'm also using a details view on my insert page.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Insert' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
In the tutorial I am doing I have been requested to change a field in the colums properties of a table. The ID column is currentl displaying NO and NO again for "is aIdentity. I can Highlight the values but cannot change to yes. either in the properties talbe or in the properties window on the right hand side of IDE interface. How do I change that value?
actually recently we just shifted our website. & now when i try to transfer database from my previous server to new remote server database.all the tables auto increment field is set to 'NO' and there is no primary key anymore.
I am facing a problem here. I have a column where the value is equivalent to my identity column's value. For an example, I have a column A store is "ABC0001" and the 0001 is came from a column called Column B which identity on. when a new record inserted and Column B is next identity number and Column A value is "ABC" and add number from Column B.
i cannot retrieve the new identity value from an inserted record(via DataAdapter.Update) in my DataRow.
I'm using a strong typed Dataset as DAL. The table i want to update is joinded with other tables in the SelectCommand, hence the designer cannot automatically generate the insert-/update-/delete-commands and also it cannot "Refresh the DataTable" automatically. [URL]
I've tried to set AutoIncrement=true/false on the primary-key's DataColumn but the result is the same: last MAX-ID+1 instead of the actual ID the database generated(SQL-Server 2005 EP; pk datatype:int, Is identity:yes, Identity Increment:1).
This will be the wrong value f.e if another instance of the application inserted a record that the first instance yet not knows and therefore generates an ID that already exists.
To retrieve the new identity from db i've appended following to my insert-command's CommandText:
;SELECT CAST (SCOPE_IDENTITY() AS int) AS newIdRMA
Also i've tried to add an Output-Parameter to it's parameter-collection:
This is part of my code that updates the database and sets the new ID(that doesn't work):
The scenario is that I wanna insert a record to the database via INSERT query and I need to user the identity number of this record in the INSERT query.
But I don't know how to achieve this.
Here is my table structure and code for your better understanding.
There are three columns in the Table: categoryID, categoryName, categoryPath. I need the path based on the categoryID which is an identity int column.
This would seem to be quite a trivial task, however I am having trouble retrieving the identity of the record inserted using the detailsview.insert() in the code behind. It would seem that detailsview.DataKey.Value would contain this value, but it is null after the insert is performed.
How do I set my insert identity return value parameter in codebehind? I have working code now but i have all of my parameters set in codebehindexcept the following:

I am inserting data into Employee table using stored procedure.In employee table EmpNo is identity column.Once i insert data into table stored procedure should EmpNo i.e identitycolumn value.
correct my stored procedure to returm EMpNo Identity column after inserting row.
alter procedure SAR_Sp_AddEmployee(@EmpName varchar(10),@CampaignID int,@startDate datetime) as insert into EmpMaster values(@EmpName,@CampaignID,@startDate)
Resetting IDENTITY column to a new valueDuring application development we always entry some test data also our tester test with test data and as a result if the table contains IDENTITY columns( specially ID column) which incremented to the number of data already entered.
However, when the application goes running with real data to the client and the client want his ID values from starting 1, then we need to RESEED the value of the IDENTITY column of the table after clearing all data. This can be done as bellows:
DBCC CHECKIDENT (TableName, RESEED, 0)
However, can be reseed with any values instead of zero(0) in the above statement.
I have an identity column that increment by 1 on every insert. I have deleted all the rows using delete query but the identity coulumn is still not reseting to zero, how do i reset it, as it was when the table was first created.
Following the MVC1 vers of Nerddinner, but using 2010 and MVC2. Never seen this error. Looked in controller, model, view. Where does MVC pass the identity value, and how to stop it? I have never had to set IDENTITY_INSERT in any app before.
