Is it Possible to extract the ID of the record being inserted in a table at the time of inserting dat particular record into that table ??? Reference to Sql Server
Read about INSERT with OUTPUT. This is in my experience the easiest way of achieving an atomic INSERT outputting an inserted value.
Example, assuming that Table contains an auto-incremented field named ID:
DECLARE #outputResult TABLE (ID BIGINT)
INSERT INTO Table
(
Field1,
Field2
)
OUPUT INSERTED.ID INTO #outputResult
VALUES
(
....
)
SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM #outputResult
You can select the ID afterwards with
SELECT ##IDENTITY
or
SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()

I am trying to insert data using select statement. The table which I am inserting is having foreign key and it is sequence ID. How do I accomplish this? Because if I insert the sequence key in associated table first then how do I get the list of all the sequence ID to insert into the table.
Please note I am using insert with select statement so is there way to accomplish this without using cursor?
I think you can extract sequence value and then re-use it as many times as you want:
DECLARE #NextValue INT
SELECT #NextValue = NEXT VALUE FOR MySequence
SELECT NextValue = #NextValue
INSERT INTO PrimaryTable(PK_ID) VALUES (#NextValue);
INSERT INTO SecondaryTable(FK_ID) VALUES (#NextValue);
Here what I have tried.
DECLARE #MyTabVaR TABLE
(
FOREIGNKEY_ID INT,
COMMON_COL INT
);
INSERT INTO #MyTabVaR
SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR DBO.MY_SEQ,COMMON_COL FROM another_table2
INSERT INTO actual_table
SELECT FOREIGNKEY_ID FROM #MyTabVaR
INSERT INTO another_table
SELECT * FROM copy_table C
LEFT JOIN actual_table A
ON C.COMMON_COL=A.COMMON_COL
WHERE A.FOREIGNKEY_ID IS NOT NULL
I have 2 tables: 1 temp and the other one is my main table.
Each day I would update my temp table and I want to update my main table based on the changes I made from the temp table.
Example: The first temp table contains an id and name. Then I insert the value from temp into the main table. But when I made changes from my temp like insert another id and name, I want my main table to compare and only insert the unique id from the temp table.
As you said, it seems like you have a table object named as temp table. If this is the case then you may use after insert trigger on temp table to insert new inserted value in your main table.
CREATE TRIGGER AfterINSERTTrigger on [Temptable]
FOR INSERT
AS DECLARE #id INT,
#col1 VARCHAR(50),
.
.
SELECT #id = ins.id FROM INSERTED ins;
SELECT #col1 = ins.col1 FROM INSERTED ins;
.
.
INSERT INTO [MainTable](
[id]
,[col1]
.
.)
VALUES (#id,
#col1,
.
.
.
);
PRINT 'We Successfully Fired the AFTER INSERT Triggers in SQL Server.'
GO
Similarly you can update your table on update of record in temptable using update trigger. You may find this link on more info on trigger. LINK
OR
If you are creating temp table object to get the new inserted record then use simple not in or not exists clause to get the newly inserted record.
Using NOT IN
insert into maintable ( id, col1, ...)
select Id , col1, .... from temptable
where id not in (select id from maintable)
Using NOT EXISTS
insert into maintable ( id, col1, ... )
select id, col1, ... from temptable as temp
where not exists (select id from maintable as main where main.id=temp.id)
You can use NOT EXISTS as follows
INSERT into main_table(
id, name,
...
)
SELECT
id,name,
...
FROM temp_table t
WHERE
NOT EXISTS(
SELECT 1
FROM main_table m
WHERE m.id = t.id
)

I perform steps:
Create temporal table and fill it with data and unique order column [_oid]
Insert everything from temporal table into real table except fictional [_oid], outputting generated [id]'s
Return those generated [id]'s along with corresponding [_oid]
SQL:
CREATE TABLE #temp
(
[Hash] INT NOT NULL,
[Size] INT NOT NULL,
[Data] NVARCHAR(MAX),
[_oid] INT NOT NULL
)
--here insert data into #temp--
INSERT [dbo].[TestObjects]
OUTPUT INSERTED.[Id]
SELECT [Hash], [Size], [Data]
FROM #temp
DROP TABLE #temp
How I can return ([Id], [_oid]) rows ? ....Or at least return [Id] ordered by [_oid] ?
I know insert does not preserve order of inserted items in it's output, but still...
I think you what you are asking for is INSERT INTO, as so:
INSERT INTO [dbo].[TestObjects]
SELECT Hash, Size, Data FROM #temp
ORDER BY _oid
But as you say, there's no guarantee about order when you select from TestObjects, so if it's important can you not have a field in TestObjects you can ORDER BY when you SELECT from it?
IF your insert into #temp is such that both o_id and (hash,size,data) are unique for each row (ie keys), then you could retrieve the inserted o_id from #temp:
select t.[_oid],to.[Id]
from #temp t
inner join [dbo].[TestObjects] to
on t.Hash=to.Hash and t.Size=to.Size and t.data=to.data
As noted by George Menoutis, I did merge:
MERGE [dbo].[TestObjects] AS T_Base
USING #temp AS T_Source
ON (0<>0)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT ([Hash],[Size],[Data]) VALUES (T_Source.[Hash],T_Source.[Size],T_Source.[Data])
OUTPUT INSERTED.[Id], T_Source.[_oid];
If anyone have better approach - feel free to contribute to this answer.
This is my table Structure
When I insert Data into the first table, it will have multiple entries in table 2
I am Using code
To Get ID
Select MAX(ID)+1 From Table1
To Insert Data
Insert Into Table1 Values('1','abc','add1');
Insert into table2 values('1','med','english');
Insert into table2 values('1','eng','english');
Code is working fine for single computer but when we used in application in multiple terminals it is inserting wrong data i.e. data of another id in table2
You need ensure that the ID column of table1 is an identity column and then do the following:
DECLARE #ID INT
INSERT table1 ([columns])
VALUES (...)
SELECT #ID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT table2 (table1ID, [columns])
VALUES (#ID, ...)
You can read more about SCOPE_IDENTITY() here.
MAX(ID) will include ID values created by other processes, which is why your second insert is mixing up data.
After having created a temporary table and declaring the data types like so;
CREATE TABLE #TempTable(
ID int,
Date datetime,
Name char(20))
How do I then insert the relevant data which is already held on a physical table within the database?
INSERT INTO #TempTable (ID, Date, Name)
SELECT id, date, name
FROM physical_table
To insert all data from all columns, just use this:
SELECT * INTO #TempTable
FROM OriginalTable
Don't forget to DROP the temporary table after you have finished with it and before you try creating it again:
DROP TABLE #TempTable
SELECT ID , Date , Name into #temp from [TableName]
My way of Insert in SQL Server. Also I usually check if a temporary table exists.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#MyTable') IS NOT NULL DROP Table #MyTable
SELECT b.Val as 'bVals'
INTO #MyTable
FROM OtherTable as b
SELECT *
INTO #TempTable
FROM table
I have provided two approaches to solve the same issue,
Solution 1: This approach includes 2 steps, first create a temporary table with
specified data type, next insert the value from the existing data
table.
CREATE TABLE #TempStudent(tempID int, tempName varchar(MAX) )
INSERT INTO #TempStudent(tempID, tempName) SELECT id, studName FROM students where id =1
SELECT * FROM #TempStudent
Solution 2: This approach is simple, where you can directly insert the values to
temporary table, where automatically the system take care of creating
the temp table with the same data type of original table.
SELECT id, studName INTO #TempStudent FROM students where id =1
SELECT * FROM #TempStudent
After you create the temp table you would just do a normal INSERT INTO () SELECT FROM
INSERT INTO #TempTable (id, Date, Name)
SELECT t.id, t.Date, t.Name
FROM yourTable t
The right query:
drop table #tmp_table
select new_acc_no, count(new_acc_no) as count1
into #tmp_table
from table
where unit_id = '0007'
group by unit_id, new_acc_no
having count(new_acc_no) > 1
insert into #temptable (col1, col2, col3)
select col1, col2, col3 from othertable
Note that this is considered poor practice:
insert into #temptable
select col1, col2, col3 from othertable
If the definition of the temp table were to change, the code could fail at runtime.
Basic operation of Temporary table is given below, modify and use as per your requirements,
-- CREATE A TEMP TABLE
CREATE TABLE #MyTempEmployeeTable(tempUserID varchar(MAX), tempUserName varchar(MAX) )
-- INSERT VALUE INTO A TEMP TABLE
INSERT INTO #MyTempEmployeeTable(tempUserID,tempUserName) SELECT userid,username FROM users where userid =21
-- QUERY A TEMP TABLE [This will work only in same session/Instance, not in other user session instance]
SELECT * FROM #MyTempEmployeeTable
-- DELETE VALUE IN TEMP TABLE
DELETE FROM #MyTempEmployeeTable
-- DROP A TEMP TABLE
DROP TABLE #MyTempEmployeeTable
INSERT INTO #TempTable(ID, Date, Name)
SELECT OtherID, OtherDate, OtherName FROM PhysicalTable
insert #temptable
select idfield, datefield, namefield from yourrealtable
All the above mentioned answers will almost fullfill the purpose. However, You need to drop the temp table after all the operation on it. You can follow-
INSERT INTO #TempTable (ID, Date, Name)
SELECT id, date, name
FROM physical_table;
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#TempTable') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #TempTable;
