Error inserting into Table Datatype with Identity Column

Hi
We are using the code below to simulate a cursor using the Table Datatype
but we are getting an error when inserting the records.
Server: Msg 8101, Level 16, State 1, Line 19
An explicit value for the identity column in table '@.tblImports' can only be
specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.
Server: Msg 8101, Level 16, State 1, Line 28
An explicit value for the identity column in table '@.tblImports' can only be
specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

I recommend that you don't use ORDER BY in the INSERT statement. It is
not necessarily guaranteed that the IDENTITY column will be populated
in the order you specify.
If you explain your requirement I'm sure someone can suggest something
better. Why do concatentation and formatting in the database anyway?

error clearly states that you are trying to update an identity column in the
function( not in cucrsor)
INSERT @.tblImports
SELECT dm_ImportDesc, [Description]
you can't update identity column explicitly unless SET INSERT_IDENTITY ON.
Post DDL

Possibly, but the same claim is documented in a KB for 2000 and in that
case it is inaccurate. See the following link for Gert-Jan's repro.
Haven't tested this on 2005 but even if it works I'm not sure how
confident I would be about it, given the history and the kludgy nature
of this "feature".:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mi...bfd47d975aca778
Now that we have RECORD_NUMBER() the ORDER BY in an INSERT is
redundant. RECORD_NUMBER() should be preferred IMO.

Error in Updating records using Openquery

Hi,

I am trying to update a DB2 table from Sql Server using Openquery but it gives me an

error, I tried selecting rows from the DB2 table using Openquery and it works fine.

Following is the update query:

UPDATE OPENQUERY(DB2_DB2T, 'SELECT STATUS FROM $ZUDBA01.TPT20_VOLS

WHERE AUD_NBR=10000004 AND POLL_NUM_ACTUAL=''999456789'' AND

REC_TYP=''SYM''') SET STATUS='RETURNED'

This query when executed gives following error:

Server: Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 35
OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: Insufficient base table information for updating or

refreshing.]
OLE DB error trace [OLE/DB Provider 'MSDASQL' IRowsetChange:: SetData returned

0x80004005: ].

Kindly help me out.

Thanks and Regards,

error in searching records

Hi

I am developing windows application.

I want to find records which has a particular number which is entered in textbox.
and result is displayed in datagrid.

If the entered number didnt find in database it must be displayed msg.

i tried it like as below but not working.

qlConnection conn = new SqlConnection();
conn.ConnectionString = "Server=EBSERVER;UID=sa;Database=Airport-Clearance;";
//SqlConnection sqlconn = objcs.GetConnection();
//MessageBox.Show("Connected");
//sqlconn.Open();
//Do what ever

SqlDataAdapter filling = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Airport where awb='" + txtawb.Text ,conn);

DataSet displaying = new DataSet();

conn.Open();
filling.Fill(displaying);
dataGrid1.DataSource = displaying.DefaultViewManager;
conn.Close();

Waiting for reply.

Warmest regards,
ASIF

can you explain what "not working" is? Does it throw any errors? or does it not return anything?

What is the datatype of your "awb" column in the airport table?

Error in function argument

I have a table with over 11,000 records and I need to do a find and replace using SET and Where conditions. Basically I have one column in the table called RealAudioLink. It contains entries like: wkdy20070416-a.rm and wkdy20070416-b.rm and conv20070416.rm.

I need the select statement to find all wkdy entries and replace those characters with Weekday. I also need it to find all dashes and small a's and b's and replace with null or nothing. Then I need it to insert a capital letter A or B in the
wkdy20070416-a.rm filename so that when it's all said and done that entry would read:

WeekdayA20070416.rm
WeekdayB20070416.rm
Conversation20070416.rm

Here is the code I am working with. It needs help. I'm close but I'm not knowledgeable with using SET or with removing dashes and inserting capital letters all in the same select statement.

Code Snippet

UPDATE T_Programs_TestCopy
(SET RealAudioLink = REPLACE(RealAudioLink, '-a', '')
AND
(SET RealAudioLink = REPLACE(RealAudioLink, 'wkdy', 'WeekdayA')
WHERE (RealAudioLink LIKE 'wkdy%'))

I've never done anything like this before so I would be very appreciative of any assistance with the select statement. I am reading up on it but it would be great to get another perspective from a more experienced sql developer.

Thanks

Here is an example of creating a custom function to make the changes, and then using that function in updating the table.

Code Snippet

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fnCleanMyData
( @.BadDataIn varchar(2000) )
RETURNS varchar(2000)
AS
BEGIN
SET @.BadDataIn =
CASE
WHEN patindex( '%-a.rm', @.BadDataIn ) > 0
THEN replace( replace( stuff( @.BadDataIn, 5, 1, 'A' ), 'wkdy', 'Weekday' ), '-a', '' )
WHEN patindex( '%-b.rm', @.BadDataIn ) > 0
THEN replace( replace( stuff( @.BadDataIn, 5, 1, 'B' ), 'wkdy', 'Weekday' ), '-b', '' )
WHEN patindex( 'conv%', @.BadDataIn ) > 0
THEN replace( @.BadDataIn, 'conv', 'Conversation' )
END
RETURN @.BadDataIn
END
GO

DECLARE @.MyTable table
( FileNames varchar(100) )

SET NOCOUNT ON

INSERT INTO @.MyTable VALUES ( 'wkdy20070416-a.rm' )
INSERT INTO @.MyTable VALUES ( 'wkdy20070416-b.rm' )
INSERT INTO @.MyTable VALUES ( 'conv20070416.rm' )

SELECT FileNames
FROM @.MyTable

FileNames
-
wkdy20070416-a.rm
wkdy20070416-b.rm
conv20070416.rm

UPDATE @.MyTable
SET FileNames = dbo.fnCleanMyData( FileNames )

SELECT FileNames
FROM @.MyTable

FileNames
--
WeekdayA0070416.rm
WeekdayB0070416.rm
Conversation20070416.rm

Change the function name to whatever you like, and I have used a table variable in this example. Use your own table and column names.

Error handling in cursor

I have cursor that loops through some records and calls a stored procedure. Sometimes the stored procedure raises an error. When an error is raised the cursor stops looping.

I would like the cursor to loop to the next record and continue executing the stored procedure. How do I implement this functionality? I suspect it has to do with using @.@.Error but I have limited experience with it. Thanks in advance.

Code Snippet

DECLARE PKIDs_Cursor CURSOR FOR

SELECT Id as PKID FROM Table1

OPEN PKIDs_Cursor;

DECLARE @.PKs VARCHAR(20)

FETCH NEXT FROM PKIDs_Cursor INTO @.PKs;

WHILE @.@.FETCH_STATUS = 0

BEGIN

EXEC dbo.spProcessInfo @.PKs, NULL;

FETCH NEXT FROM PKIDs_Cursor INTO @.PKs;

END;

CLOSE PKIDs_Cursor;

DEALLOCATE PKIDs_Cursor;

By default, SQL Server follows “ON ERROR RESUME NEXT”, that means when error occurs (if it is not critical error) it allows continuing to execute the next statement. Considering this statement your loop won’t break. You need not to use the @.@.ERROR here. If you want to force to discontinue the loop then only you need this variable.

Note:

In SQL Server 2000 you can’t suppers the error message thrown by the server. But the execution will continue.

If you use SQL Server 2005 then you can use the TRY..CATCH to suppress the error messages.

If you provide the error message it will be more helpful.

Thank you for the reply Manivannan. I am using SQL Server 2000. The error message is a custom message raised by the stored procedure:

-2 Warning: Mapping failed - No actions taken.

“ON ERROR RESUME NEXT” behavior does not appear to be in effect. Any ideas?|||

What Severity Level you used on your Raiserror? Severity Level might affect the work-flow of your batch.
