INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint - SQL Server 2016 - sql

i have a problem, i exec to insert select a table and show me the error:
(Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 4 The INSERT statement conflicted
with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_art_sub_lin". The conflict
occurred in database "A_DEBQ_A", table "dbo.sub_lin". The statement
has been terminated.)
but the table dbo.sub_lin have 2 field when PK, Example:
CONSTRAINT [sub_lin_co_subl] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[co_subl] ASC,
[co_lin] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
the table art have:
(ALTER TABLE A_DEBQ_A.[dbo].[art] WITH CHECK ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_art_sub_lin] FOREIGN KEY([co_subl], [co_lin])
REFERENCES [dbo].[sub_lin] ([co_subl], [co_lin])
GO)
Rows to table dbo.sub_lin:
co_lin co_subl
AREN 222
PRSP 222
I don't know how to solve the error it gives me! Thanks for helping!

In your table A_DEBQ_A.[dbo].[art], it has a foreign key reference to another table. The way a FK works is it cannot have a value in that column that is not also in the primary key column of the referenced table.
If you have SQL Server Management Studio, open it up and sp_help 'A_DEBQ_A.[dbo].[art]' See which column that FK is on, and which column of which table it references. You're inserting some bad data.

Why does insert into table with primary key/identity column generate "Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition" error

Table has a primary key/identity column with seed/increment of 1/1. When I try to insert a record into the table while omitting the primary key column because SQL should automatically assign that column a value, I get the following error: "Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition."
I tried inserting a record while omitting the primary key/identity field.
I tried inserting a record with an explicit primary key/identity value and received the following error: "The user did not have permission to write to the column."
I tried setting IDENTITY_INSERT to ON and received the following error: "Cannot find the object "dbo.temp" because it does not exist or you do not have permissions."
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[temp](
[ProjectNumber] [INT] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[ServiceCenterID] [INT] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_temp] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[ProjectNumber] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 100) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT dbo.temp
SELECT 1 [ServiceCenterID]
I expect a record to be inserted into the table with the primary key/identity column (projectNumber) automatically assigned a value of 1. Instead I get the error "Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition." even though projectNumber is a IDENTITY column
If you want to assign the ProjectNumber, then you need to bring in two columns.
INSERT dbo.temp (ProjectNumber, ServiceCenterID)
SELECT 1, 1 as [ServiceCenterID];
If you want it set automatically, then:
INSERT dbo.temp (ServiceCenterID)
SELECT 1;
The key idea in both cases is to list the columns explicitly. That way, you are less likely to make errors on INSERTs. And, if you do, they should be easier to debug.

Why does an insert that groups by the primary key throw a primary key constraint violation error?

I have an insert statement that's throwing a primary key error but I don't see how I could possibly be inserting duplicate key values.
First I create a temp table with a primary key.
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED //Note: I've tried committed and uncommited, neither materially affects the behavior. See screenshots below for proof.
IF (OBJECT_ID('TEMPDB..#P')) IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #P;
CREATE TABLE #P(idIsbn INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, price SMALLMONEY, priceChangedDate DATETIME);
Then I pull prices from the Prices table, grouping by idIsbn, which is the primary key in the temp table.
INSERT INTO #P(idIsbn, price, priceChangedDate)
SELECT idIsbn ,
MIN(lowestPrice) ,
MIN(priceChangedDate)
FROM Price p
WHERE p.idMarketplace = 3100
GROUP BY p.idIsbn
I understand that grouping by idIsbn by definition makes it unique. The idIsbn in the prices table is: [idIsbn] [int] NOT NULL.
But every once in a while when I run this query I get this error:
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#P________AED35F8119E85FC5'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#P'. The duplicate key value is (1447858).
NOTE: I've got a lot of questions about timing. I will select this statement, press F5, and no error will occur. Then I'll do it again, and it will fail, then I'll run it again and again and it will succeed a couple times before it fails again. I guess what I'm saying is that I can find no pattern for when it will succeed and when it won't.
How can I be inserting duplicate rows if (A) I just created the table brand new before inserting into it and (B) I'm grouping by the column designed to be the primary key?
For now, I'm solving the problem with IGNORE_DUP_KEY = ON, but I'd really like to know the root cause of the problem.
Here is what I'm actually seeing in my SSMS window. There is nothing more and nothing less:
##Version is:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) - 10.0.5538.0 (X64)
Apr 3 2015 14:50:02
Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation
Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
Execution Plan:
Here is an example of what it looks like when it runs fine. Here I'm using READ COMMITTED, but it doesn't matter b/c I get the error no matter whether I read it committed or uncommited.
Here is another example of it failing, this time w/ READ COMMITTED.
Also:
I get the same error whether I'm populating a temp table or a
persistent table.
When I add option (maxdop 1) to the end of the insert it seems to fail every time, though I can't be exhaustively sure of that b/c I can't run it for infinity. But it seems to be the case.
Here is the definition of the price table. Table has 25M rows. 108,529 updates in the last hour.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Price](
[idPrice] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[idIsbn] [int] NOT NULL,
[idMarketplace] [int] NOT NULL,
[lowestPrice] [smallmoney] NULL,
[offers] [smallint] NULL,
[priceDate] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL,
[priceChangedDate] [smalldatetime] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [pk_Price] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[idPrice] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY],
CONSTRAINT [uc_idIsbn_idMarketplace] UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED
(
[idIsbn] ASC,
[idMarketplace] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
And the two non-clustered indexes:
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Price_idMarketplace_INC_idIsbn_lowestPrice_priceDate] ON [dbo].[Price]
(
[idMarketplace] ASC
)
INCLUDE ( [idIsbn],
[lowestPrice],
[priceDate]) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_Price_idMarketplace_priceChangedDate_INC_idIsbn_lowestPrice] ON [dbo].[Price]
(
[idMarketplace] ASC,
[priceChangedDate] ASC
)
INCLUDE ( [idIsbn],
[lowestPrice]) WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
You hadn't supplied your table structure.
This is a repro with some assumed details that causes the problem at read committed (NB: now you have supplied the definition I can see in your case updates to the priceChangedDate column will move rows around in the IX_Price_idMarketplace_priceChangedDate_INC_idIsbn_lowestPrice index if that's the one being seeked)
Connection 1 (Set up tables)
USE tempdb;
CREATE TABLE Price
(
SomeKey INT PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
idIsbn INT IDENTITY UNIQUE,
idMarketplace INT DEFAULT 3100,
lowestPrice SMALLMONEY DEFAULT $1.23,
priceChangedDate DATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE()
);
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX ix
ON Price(idMarketplace)
INCLUDE (idIsbn, lowestPrice, priceChangedDate);
INSERT INTO Price
(SomeKey)
SELECT number
FROM master..spt_values
WHERE number BETWEEN 1 AND 2000
AND type = 'P';
Connection 2
Concurrent DataModifications that move a row from the beginning of the seeked range (3100,1) to the end (3100,2001) and back again repeatedly.
USE tempdb;
WHILE 1=1
BEGIN
UPDATE Price SET SomeKey = 2001 WHERE SomeKey = 1
UPDATE Price SET SomeKey = 1 WHERE SomeKey = 2001
END
Connection 3 (Do the insert into a temp table with a unique constraint)
USE tempdb;
CREATE TABLE #P
(
idIsbn INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
price SMALLMONEY,
priceChangedDate DATETIME
);
WHILE 1 = 1
BEGIN
TRUNCATE TABLE #P
INSERT INTO #P
(idIsbn,
price,
priceChangedDate)
SELECT idIsbn,
MIN(lowestPrice),
MIN(priceChangedDate)
FROM Price p
WHERE p.idMarketplace = 3100
GROUP BY p.idIsbn
END
The plan has no aggregate as there is a unique constraint on idIsbn (a unique constraint on idIsbn,idMarketplace would also work) therefore the group by can be optimised out as there are no duplicate values.
But at read committed isolation level shared row locks are released as soon as the row is read. So it is possible for a row to move places and be read a second time by the same seek or scan.
The index ix doesn't explicitly include SomeKey as a secondary key column but as it is not declared unique SQL Server silently includes the clustering key behind the scenes, hence updating that column value can move rows around in it.

SQL Server ALTER COLUMN NOT NULL has no effect

The designers of table SOME_TABLE did not define a primary key, and worse, they set one of the columns that could define the primary key as NULLable (the others are OK).
The data for SOME_TABLE.PrinterPos does not contain any NULL values.
I am writing an upgrade script to apply to ~50 databases.
The following code is failing:
ALTER TABLE dbo.SOME_TABLE
ALTER COLUMN PrinterPos smallint NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE dbo.SOME_TABLE
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_SOME_TABLE
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (SOME_TABLE_ID ASC, Store_ID ASC, PrinterPos ASC)
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF,
IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON,
ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY];
I get the message
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'SOME_TABLE'.
It looks line the first command is being totally ignored. Although there is no message to indicate this.
To put it in it's own batch, I have tried executing the first command using sp_executesql to no effect.
If I execute the first command in SQL Server Management Studio followed by the second then it executes OK.
I need to get this change fully automated. How can I get this to work via script?
Try adding a GO keyword between the two ALTER TABLE commands

How can I change primary key on SQL Azure

I am going to change the primary key on SQL Azure. But it throws an error when using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to generate the scripts. Because every tables on SQL Azure must contains a primary key. And I can't drop it before create. What can I do if I must change it?
Script generated
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.indexes WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[mytable]') AND name = N'PK_mytable')
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[mytable] DROP CONSTRAINT [PK_mytable]

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[mytable] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_mytable] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

[id] ASC
)WITH (STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ONLINE = OFF)
GO
Error message
Msg 40054, Level 16, State 2, Line 3

Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 3
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
I ran into this exact problem and contacted the Azure team on the forums. Basically it isn't possible. You'll need to create a new table and transfer the data to it.
What I did was create a transaction and within it do the following:
Renamed the old table to OLD_MyTable.
Create the new table with the correct Primary Key and call it MyTable.
Select the contents from OLD_MyTable
into MyTable.
Drop OLD_MyTable.
You may also need to call sp_rename on any constraints so they don't conflict.

upgrade SQL V12 and heaps are supported on it. So you can drop the primary key and recreate it.
I appreciate that this may be late in the day for yourself, but it may help others.
I recently came across this issue and found the least painful solution was to download the database from Azure, restore it locally, update the primary key locally (as the key constraint is a SQL Azure specific issue), and then restore the database back into Azure.
This saved any issues in regards to renaming databases or transferring data between them.
You can try the following scripts. Change it to suit for your table def.
EXECUTE sp_rename N'[PK_MyTable]', N'[PK_MyTable_old]', 'OBJECT'
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Temp_MyTable](
[id] [int] NOT NULL,
[text] [text] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [PK_MyTable] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (
[id] ASC)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON))
INSERT INTO dbo.[Temp_MyTable] (Id, Text)
SELECT Id, Text FROM dbo.MyTable
drop table dbo.MyTable
EXECUTE sp_rename N'Temp_MyTable', N'MyTable', 'OBJECT'
This question is outdated because changing PK is already supported in latest version of SQL Azure. And you don't have to create temporary table.

Alter Table Add Column Syntax

I'm trying to programmatically add an identity column to a table Employees. Not sure what I'm doing wrong with my syntax.
ALTER TABLE Employees
ADD COLUMN EmployeeID int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1)
ALTER TABLE Employees ADD CONSTRAINT
PK_Employees PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
EmployeeID
) WITH( STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF,
ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
What am I doing wrong? I tried to export the script, but SQL Mgmt Studio does a whole Temp Table rename thing.
UPDATE:
I think it is choking on the first statement with "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'COLUMN'."
Just remove COLUMN from ADD COLUMN
ALTER TABLE Employees
ADD EmployeeID numeric NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1)
ALTER TABLE Employees ADD CONSTRAINT
PK_Employees PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
EmployeeID
) WITH( STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF,
ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
This is how Adding new column to Table
ALTER TABLE [tableName]
ADD ColumnName Datatype
E.g
ALTER TABLE [Emp]
ADD Sr_No Int
And If you want to make it auto incremented
ALTER TABLE [Emp]
ADD Sr_No Int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL
The correct syntax for adding column into table is:
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name column-definition;
In your case it will be:
ALTER TABLE Employees
ADD EmployeeID int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1)
To add multiple columns use brackets:
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD (column_1 column-definition,
column_2 column-definition,
...
column_n column_definition);
COLUMN keyword in SQL SERVER is used only for altering:
ALTER TABLE table_name
ALTER COLUMN column_name column_type;
It could be doing the temp table renaming if you are trying to add a column to the beginning of the table (as this is easier than altering the order). Also, if there is data in the Employees table, it has to do insert select * so it can calculate the EmployeeID.
