Was your question ever answered? I am having the same issue. Is there a simple way to do this with the output clause?

Very nice article in simple words… Thanks for the explanation but i would like to know what if a table has a trigger attached??

Will these magic table return the values from trigger or from the table that is been updated?

the errors are generated while using application based on VB and SQL on client machines.

It is not that the error prompts only when huge query is fired from client. the error prompt even just application is open on the client machine and client is not doing anything.

first of all please any one could help to understand the possible reasons for this error. i have searched on MS sites and also gooled. As per the explanation given all settings are correct on server… but not yet clear….

AWE is not enabled on SQL server…. SP4 is installed…chimney setting is proper…

is this machine specific error? any hot fix is required after installing SP4?
there might be LAN problem?

Early help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

can anyone suggest how can normal user can access all records in syslogins table. user should not be security admin.

I am thinking to retrieve all records from syslogins with priviledge login into user table and then use user table

Thanks.

Your Post on Output clause …helped me.

Thanks.

Thanks,

output clause is great when we need to do secondary jobs on all or subset of the columns being inserted in the main table. But, how can we update two tables with no overlapping columns other than a common pk column (e.g. specialization & generalization tables). My idea is to update both the tables in one read of a temp table and update two tables at one go. here is the DML that fails.

INSERT INTO payout (
— payout_id (identity column),
payoutType_id,Start_Date
)
OUTPUT INSERTED.payout_id , source
INTO payoutBonus(payout_id,source)
SELECT payoutType_id,Start_Date, source
FROM @temp_payout_table

Thanks

I have a application that is multi-threaded that is doing hundreds of inserts a minute. I want to use the OUTPUT clause to return me the identity field from each insert.

Have you seen any problems where with getting the unique identity field back for a given insert when hundreds of inserts are being execute at the same time.

Thanks Tim

I needed it for my identity, since scope_identity() is bugged.

with your help plus something i read elsewhere now i can retrieve the identity i needed back to my code, and use it with my typed dataset and adapters.

[For Reference]
I just created a query for my table adapter with my equivalent for example 2, and then in the method properties, changed execute mode from NonQuery to Scalar. That way the method returns the new identity (Convert needed).

Thanks a lot.

u can insert AutoID value to temp table, use following code,

–Creating a TestTable
CREATE TABLE TestTable (AutoID INT IDENTITY(1,1),ID INT, TEXTVal VARCHAR(100))
–Creating a Temp Table
DECLARE @TmpTable TABLE (AutoID INT,ID INT, TEXTVal VARCHAR(100))

–Insert value in TestTable and get value in Temp Table
INSERT TestTable (ID, TEXTVal)
OUTPUT Inserted.AutoID,Inserted.ID, Inserted.TEXTVal INTO @TmpTable
VALUES (1,’FirstVal’)

INSERT TestTable (ID, TEXTVal)
OUTPUT Inserted.AutoID,Inserted.ID, Inserted.TEXTVal INTO @TmpTable
VALUES (2,’SecondVal’)

select * from @TmpTable

AutoID ID TEXTVal
1 1 FirstVal
2 2 SecondVal

————————————————————–

we can’t Give The Autogenrate Column name in insert column, like insert TestTable(AutoID) that is wrong.

INSERT Thing (Name)
OUTPUT Inserted.ID AS ToID, ??? AS FromID
SELECT Name
FROM Thing
WHERE …

I can’t get this to work because it seems that INSERTED columns are the only ones I can output, and hence I can’t get the from ID. Can you confirm that this is correct? Thank you very much for your help.

I am stumbled upon a small problem..

I have two tables which i want to update but the table B has a foreingn key in Table A which is Identity column,

Now if i do a single insert i am fine with output clause but how do i tackle a multiple insert.

Eg: table A Empid,Empname,deptid
table B, deptid,deptname,

now If i want to copy dept1 and insert into table B
Say dept1 has 100 employees,
My requirement is COPY the whole department with employees and create a duplicate dept in Table A
how do i do it. please help
