My database contains three tables called Object_Table, Data_Table and Link_Table. The link table just contains two columns, the identity of an object record and an identity of a data record.
I want to copy the data from DATA_TABLE where it is linked to one given object identity and insert corresponding records into Data_Table and Link_Table for a different given object identity.
I can do this by selecting into a table variable and the looping through doing two inserts for each iteration.
Is this the best way to do it?
Edit : I want to avoid a loop for two reason, the first is that I'm lazy and a loop/temp table requires more code, more code means more places to make a mistake and the second reason is a concern about performance.
I can copy all the data in one insert but how do get the link table to link to the new data records where each record has a new id?
In one statement: No.
In one transaction: Yes
BEGIN TRANSACTION
DECLARE #DataID int;
INSERT INTO DataTable (Column1 ...) VALUES (....);
SELECT #DataID = scope_identity();
INSERT INTO LinkTable VALUES (#ObjectID, #DataID);
COMMIT
The good news is that the above code is also guaranteed to be atomic, and can be sent to the server from a client application with one sql string in a single function call as if it were one statement. You could also apply a trigger to one table to get the effect of a single insert. However, it's ultimately still two statements and you probably don't want to run the trigger for every insert.
You still need two INSERT statements, but it sounds like you want to get the IDENTITY from the first insert and use it in the second, in which case, you might want to look into OUTPUT or OUTPUT INTO: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177564.aspx
The following sets up the situation I had, using table variables.
DECLARE #Object_Table TABLE
(
Id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
)
DECLARE #Link_Table TABLE
(
ObjectId INT NOT NULL,
DataId INT NOT NULL
)
DECLARE #Data_Table TABLE
(
Id INT NOT NULL Identity(1,1),
Data VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
)
-- create two objects '1' and '2'
INSERT INTO #Object_Table (Id) VALUES (1)
INSERT INTO #Object_Table (Id) VALUES (2)
-- create some data
INSERT INTO #Data_Table (Data) VALUES ('Data One')
INSERT INTO #Data_Table (Data) VALUES ('Data Two')
-- link all data to first object
INSERT INTO #Link_Table (ObjectId, DataId)
SELECT Objects.Id, Data.Id
FROM #Object_Table AS Objects, #Data_Table AS Data
WHERE Objects.Id = 1
Thanks to another answer that pointed me towards the OUTPUT clause I can demonstrate a solution:
-- now I want to copy the data from from object 1 to object 2 without looping
INSERT INTO #Data_Table (Data)
OUTPUT 2, INSERTED.Id INTO #Link_Table (ObjectId, DataId)
SELECT Data.Data
FROM #Data_Table AS Data INNER JOIN #Link_Table AS Link ON Data.Id = Link.DataId
INNER JOIN #Object_Table AS Objects ON Link.ObjectId = Objects.Id
WHERE Objects.Id = 1
It turns out however that it is not that simple in real life because of the following error
the OUTPUT INTO clause cannot be on
either side of a (primary key, foreign
key) relationship
I can still OUTPUT INTO a temp table and then finish with normal insert. So I can avoid my loop but I cannot avoid the temp table.
I want to stress on using
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
for the MSSQL transaction with multiple sql statements.
See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188792.aspx
They provide a very good example.
So, the final code should look like the following:
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
BEGIN TRANSACTION
DECLARE #DataID int;
INSERT INTO DataTable (Column1 ...) VALUES (....);
SELECT #DataID = scope_identity();
INSERT INTO LinkTable VALUES (#ObjectID, #DataID);
COMMIT
It sounds like the Link table captures the many:many relationship between the Object table and Data table.
My suggestion is to use a stored procedure to manage the transactions. When you want to insert to the Object or Data table perform your inserts, get the new IDs and insert them to the Link table.
This allows all of your logic to remain encapsulated in one easy to call sproc.
If you want the actions to be more or less atomic, I would make sure to wrap them in a transaction. That way you can be sure both happened or both didn't happen as needed.
You might create a View selecting the column names required by your insert statement, add an INSTEAD OF INSERT Trigger, and insert into this view.
Before being able to do a multitable insert in Oracle, you could use a trick involving an insert into a view that had an INSTEAD OF trigger defined on it to perform the inserts. Can this be done in SQL Server?
Insert can only operate on one table at a time. Multiple Inserts have to have multiple statements.
I don't know that you need to do the looping through a table variable - can't you just use a mass insert into one table, then the mass insert into the other?
By the way - I am guessing you mean copy the data from Object_Table; otherwise the question does not make sense.
//if you want to insert the same as first table
$qry = "INSERT INTO table (one, two, three) VALUES('$one','$two','$three')";
$result = #mysql_query($qry);
$qry2 = "INSERT INTO table2 (one,two, three) VVALUES('$one','$two','$three')";
$result = #mysql_query($qry2);
//or if you want to insert certain parts of table one
$qry = "INSERT INTO table (one, two, three) VALUES('$one','$two','$three')";
$result = #mysql_query($qry);
$qry2 = "INSERT INTO table2 (two) VALUES('$two')";
$result = #mysql_query($qry2);
//i know it looks too good to be right, but it works and you can keep adding query's just change the
"$qry"-number and number in #mysql_query($qry"")
I have 17 tables this has worked in.

I have the following table :
CREATE TABLE Seq2 (val INT NOT NULL IDENTITY);
How to populate this table knowing that I tried this :
INSERT INTO Seq2(val) VALUES (1)
I have the following error :
Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'Seq2' when
IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
Having such a table seems completely pointless, if I must say. If the table has only an IDENTITY then it effectively holds no meaning, so there's no point it being there.
That being said, if you did have such a table, you can INSERT values into the IDENTITY using DEFAULT VALUES:
INSERT INTO dbo.Seq2
DEFAULT VALUES;
INSERT INTO dbo.Seq2
DEFAULT VALUES;
With a new table, this would create rows with the values 1 and 2.
If you want to explicitly INSERT values into the table, then you're better off remove the IDENTITY option. Considering this is a new table, just DROP it and recreate it with the IDENTITY property:
DROP TABLE dbo.Seq2;
GO
CREATE TABLE Seq2 (val INT NOT NULL);
Having a table with a single IDENTITY column, that you're then going to define the results for really is pointless. Either don't use IDENTITY and define the values, or use IDENTITY and let SQL Server handle it.
SET IDENTITY_INSERT Seq2 ON
INSERT INTO Seq2(val)VALUES (1)
SET IDENTITY_INSERT Seq2 OFF
Simply, enable IDENTITY_INSERT for the table. That looks like this:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT IdentityTable ON
INSERT INTO Seq2(val) VALUES (1)
SET IDENTITY_INSERT IdentityTable OFF
Keep in mind :
It can only be enabled on one table at a time. If you try to enable
it on a second table while it is still enabled on a first table SQL
Server will generate an error.
When it is enabled on a table you must specify a value for the
identity column.
The user issuing the statement must own the object, be a system
administrator (sysadmin role), be the database owner (dbo) or be a
member of the db_ddladmin role in order to run the command.
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() // to get last identity value generated in the same session and scope
SELECT ##IDENTITY // to get the last identity vaue generated in a session irrespective of scope
I have below 2 insert statements which i took the export from sql developer from dev environment. I have delete those records from dev afterwards. Now i want to run this insert statement again in dev because those are my back up but i am getting error as virtual column which is ORD_DAYID cannot be used inside insert script. So i want to exclude this column and also the respective values using replace function or any tools which i dont know. I didnt know previously that i have virtual column for this table. I would like to know is there any tool or function where i can select ORD_DAYID and also the respective values get selected and then i can delete those and then i can be able to run this insert statement again in test enviornment.
P.S i have mentioned only 2 sample insert statements but there are 1000 insert statements. So its very difficult to manually delete this ORD_DAYID from this insert statements with respective values.
Insert into test_ord (IS_GRP,ORD_DAYID,REF_CAMPA_CODE) values (1,20150813,null);
Insert into test_ord (IS_GRP,ORD_DAYID,REF_CAMPA_CODE) values (1,20150828,null);
You can edit your INSERT statements using regular expressions, in an editor such as Notepad++.
So to change this ...
Insert into test_ord (IS_GRP,ORD_DAYID,REF_CAMPA_CODE) values (1,20150813,null);
... into this ...
Insert into test_ord (IS_GRP,REF_CAMPA_CODE) values (1,null);
You need a search pattern of:
Insert into test_ord \(IS_GRP,ORD_DAYID,REF_CAMPA_CODE\) values \(([0-9]+),([0-9]+),null\);
and a replace pattern of:
Insert into test_ord \(IS_GRP,REF_CAMPA_CODE\) values \(\1,null\);
Obviously you will need to refine the search pattern to cater for all the different values of IS_GRP, and REF_CAMPA_CODE in your 1000 statements.
" is there any way where we can count the place of column and value and replace it with null"
No. The snag with virtual columns is that they cannot be referenced in INSERT or UPDATE statements. So you need to totally exclude it from the projection.
"i am not able to find those option in notepad++"
Really? Search and replace is not an exotic option:
From the menu: Search > Find > Replace [tab] (or [ctrl]+h)
As the search mode select the regular expression radio button
create an auxiliary table without virtual columns.
Restore your data to this auxiliary table.
Transfer the data from the auxiliary table to the original table.

select * from mytab where 1!=0;
-- insert your backup data
insert into ctas(a,b,s) values(1,1,2);
insert into ctas(a,b,s) values(1,2,3);
insert into ctas(a,b,s) values(2,1,3);
insert into ctas(a,b,s) values(2,2,4);
commit;
-- transfer the data to the table you want to restore
insert into mytab(a,b) select a,b from ctas;
I was asked if you could have an insert statement, which had an ID field that was an "identity" column, and if the value that was assigned could also be inserted into another field in the same record, in the same insert statement.
Is this possible (SQL Server 2008r2)?
Thanks.
You cannot really do this - because the actual value that will be used for the IDENTITY column really only is fixed and set when the INSERT has completed.
You could however use e.g. a trigger
CREATE TRIGGER trg_YourTableInsertID ON dbo.YourTable
AFTER INSERT
AS
UPDATE dbo.YourTable
SET dbo.YourTable.OtherID = i.ID
FROM dbo.YourTable t2
INNER JOIN INSERTED i ON i.ID = t2.ID
This would fire right after any rows have been inserted, and would set the OtherID column to the values of the IDENTITY columns for the inserted rows. But it's strictly speaking not within the same statement - it's just after your original statement.
You can do this by having a computed column in your table:
DECLARE #QQ TABLE (ID INT IDENTITY(1,1), Computed AS ID PERSISTED, Letter VARCHAR (1))
INSERT INTO #QQ (Letter)
VALUES ('h'),
('e'),
('l'),
('l'),
('o')
SELECT *
FROM #QQ
1 1 h
2 2 e
3 3 l
4 4 l
5 5 o

marc_s I suppose, you are not actually right. Yes, He can! ))
The way to solution is IDENT_CURRENT():
CREATE TABLE TemporaryTable(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
FkId int NOT NULL
)
ALTER TABLE TemporaryTable
ADD CONSTRAINT [Fk_const] FOREIGN KEY (FkId) REFERENCES [TemporaryTable] ([Id])
INSERT INTO TemporaryTable (FkId) VALUES (IDENT_CURRENT('[TemporaryTable]'))
INSERT INTO TemporaryTable (FkId) VALUES (IDENT_CURRENT('[TemporaryTable]'))
INSERT INTO TemporaryTable (FkId) VALUES (IDENT_CURRENT('[TemporaryTable]'))
INSERT INTO TemporaryTable (FkId) VALUES (IDENT_CURRENT('[TemporaryTable]'))
UPDATE TemporaryTable
SET [FkId] = 3
WHERE Id = 2
SELECT * FROM TemporaryTable
DROP TABLE TemporaryTable
More over, you can even use IDENT_CURRENT() as DEFAULT CONSTRAINT and it works instead of SCOPE_IDENTITY() for example. Try this:
CREATE TABLE TemporaryTable(
Id int PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
FkId int NOT NULL DEFAULT IDENT_CURRENT('[TemporaryTable]')
)
ALTER TABLE TemporaryTable
ADD CONSTRAINT [Fk_const] FOREIGN KEY (FkId) REFERENCES [TemporaryTable] ([Id])
INSERT INTO TemporaryTable (FkId) VALUES (DEFAULT)
INSERT INTO TemporaryTable (FkId) VALUES (DEFAULT)
INSERT INTO TemporaryTable (FkId) VALUES (DEFAULT)
INSERT INTO TemporaryTable (FkId) VALUES (DEFAULT)
UPDATE TemporaryTable
SET [FkId] = 3
WHERE Id = 2
SELECT * FROM TemporaryTable
DROP TABLE TemporaryTable
You can do both.
To insert rows with a column "identity", you need to set identity_insert off.
Note that you still can't duplicate values!
You can see the command here.
Be aware to set identity_insert on afterwards.
To create a table with the same record, you simply need to:
create new column;
insert it with null value or other thing;
update that column after inserts with the value of the identity column.
If you need to insert the value at the same time, you can use the ##identity global variable. It'll give you the last inserted. So I think you need to do a ##identity + 1. In this case it can give wrong values because the ##identity is for all tables. So it'll count if the insert occurs in another table with identity.
Another solution is to get the max id and add one :) and you get the needed value!
use this simple code
`SCOPE_IDENTITY()+1
I know the original post was a long while ago. But, the top-most solution is using a trigger to update the field after the record has been inserted and I think there is a more efficient method.
Using a trigger for this has always bugged me. It always has seemed like there must be a better way. That trigger basically makes every insert perform 2 writes to the database, (1) the insert, and then (2) the update of the 2nd int. The trigger is also doing a join back into the table. This is a bit of overhead to have especially for a large database and large tables. And I suspect that as the table gets larger, the overhead of this approach does also. Maybe I'm wrong on that. But, it just doesn't seem like a good solution on a large table.
I wrote a function fn_GetIdent that can be used for this. It's funny how simple it is but really was some work to figure out. I stumbled onto this eventually. It turns out that calling IDENT_CURRENT(#variableTableName) from within a function that is called from the INSERT statements SET value assignment clause acts differently than if you call IDENT_CURRENT(#variableTableName) from the INSERT statement directly. And it makes it where you can get the new identity value for the record that you are inserting.
There is one caveat. When the identity is NULL (ie - an empty table with no records) it acts a little differently since the sys.identity_columns.last_value is NULL. So, you have to handle the very first record entered a little differently. I put code in the function to address that, and now it works.
This works because each call to the function, even within the same INSERT statement, is in it's own new "scope" within the function. (I believe that is the correct explanation). So, you can even insert multiple rows with one INSERT statement using this function. If you call IDENT_CURRENT(#variableTableName) from the INSERT statement directly, it will assign the same value for the newID in all rows. This is because the identity gets updated after the entire INSERT statement finishes processing (within the same scope). But, calling IDENT_CURRENT(#variableTableName) from within a function causes each insert to update the identity value with each row entered. But, it's all done in a function call from the INSERT statement itself. So, it's easy to implement once you have the function created.
This approach is a call to a function (from the INSERT statement) which does one read from the sys.identity_columns.last_value (to see if it is NULL and if a record exists) within the function and then calling IDENT_CURRENT(#variableTableName) and then returning out of the function to the INSERT statement to insert the row. So, it is one small read (for each row INSERTED) and then the one write of the insert which is less overhead than the trigger approach I think. The trigger approach could be rather inefficient if you use that for all tables in a large database with large tables. I haven't done any performance analysis on it compared to the trigger. But, I think this would be a lot more efficient, especially on large tables.
I've been testing it out and this seems to work in all cases. I would welcome feedback as to whether anyone finds where this doesn't work or if there is any problem with this approach. Can anyone can shoot holes in this approach? If so, please let me know. If not, could you vote it up? I think it is a better approach.
So, maybe being holed up due to COVID-19 out there, turned out to be productive for something. Thank you Microsoft for keeping me occupied. Anyone hiring? :) No, seriously, anyone hiring? OK, so now what am I going to do with myself now that I am done with this? :) Wishing everyone safe times out there.
Here is the code below. Wondering if this approach has any holes in it. Feedback welcomed.
