| I have a table with a column I have named "seq" and it takes no NULLS and increments being seed with 1.I need to daily INSERT new records into the table. I CANNOT. It gives me the error the "seq" field cannot be NULL, which I understand, however, I don't know how to get around it.I have tried SET IDENTITY_INSERT tbl_InventoryList ON then running it; errored. The only way I am doing it is manually deleting the "seq" column, doing the INSERT and whatever else, then manually adding it back. RIDICULOUS!Can anyone help please?????? |

So you want your column "seq" to automatic increment and it is an identity column?Just make your insert witout adressing this colum.insert table(seq,col2,col3)selectnull,value_for_col1,value_for_col2from whateverWebfred
No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |
