@@Identity not returning Value

I have a stored procedure that inserts a record. I call the @.@.Identity variable and assign that to a variable in my SQL statement in my asp.net page.

That all worked fine when i did it just like that. Now I'm using a new stored procedure that inserts records into 3 tables successively, and the value of the @.@.Identity field is no longer being returned.

As you can see below, since I don't want the identity field value of the 2 latter records, I call for that value immediately after the first insert. I then use the value to populate the other 2 tables. I just can't figure out why the value is not being returned to my asp.net application. Think there's something wrong with the SP or no?

When I pass the value of the TicketID variable to a text field after the insert, it gives me "@.TicketID".

Anyone have any ideas?

CREATE PROCEDURE [iguser].[newticket]
(
@.Category nvarchar(80),
@.Description nvarchar(200),
@.Detail nvarchar(3000),
@.OS nvarchar(150),
@.Browser nvarchar(250),
@.Internet nvarchar(100),
@.Method nvarchar(50),
@.Contacttime nvarchar(50),
@.Knowledge int,
@.Importance int,
@.Sendcopy bit,
@.Updateme bit,
@.ClientID int,
@.ContactID int,
@.TicketID integer OUTPUT
)
 AS
INSERT INTO Tickets
(
Opendate,
Category,
Description,
Detail,
OS,
Browser,
Internet,
Method,
Contacttime,
Knowledge,
Importance,
Sendcopy,
Updateme
)
VALUES
(
Getdate(),
@.Category,
@.Description,
@.Detail,
@.OS,
@.Browser,
@.Internet,
@.Method,
@.Contacttime,
@.Knowledge,
@.Importance,
@.Sendcopy,
@.Updateme
)
SELECT
@.TicketID = @.@.Identity
INSERT INTO Contacts_to_Tickets
(
U2tUserID,
U2tTicketID
)
VALUES
(
@.ContactID,
@.TicketID
)
INSERT INTO Clients_to_Tickets
(
C2tClientID,
C2tTicketID
)
VALUES
(
@.ClientID,
@.TicketID
)

Fixed the problem, it was with my .net code|||The best practice is to constrain, you should use IDENT_CURRENT('Tickets') instead of @.@.IDENTITY when you are inserting into multiple tables. IDENT_CURRENT gives you the last Identity generated in a specific table, as @.@.IDENTITY has no constraint and returns the last Identity of any table in the session or scope.

Based on your execution @.@.IDENTITY will work, but I figured I would throw this out there anyway.

@@ identity insert

Is it possible to create a trigger that inserts the @.@.identity (primary key) from Table1 into a field in Table2?
If so, how? Thank you.
-D-yes it's possible. Create a trigger on Table1 for insert and execute an insert-statement using @.@.identity. Are you stuck?

:new.<variable_name>

I am trying to write an 'after insert' trigger for a very dynamic database that inserts all the new values put into a table into an audit table. To do this, I have to write :new.col1, :new.col2, :new.col3 etc into the audit table. I have a loop that puts ['col1','col2','col3', etc.] into a variable named column_name, but I don't seem to be able to dynamically generate the variable name. I guess I am looking for something like an eval function in PL/SQL that could do

stmt := 'new_value := :new.'||column_name;
eval(stmt);
insert into audit_table (:new.id,column_name,new_value,SYSDATE);

But I haven't found it yet, and I can't select column_name from table_name because table 'table_name' is mutating and Oracle won't let you select on a table that is changing. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.Hello,

I dont know such a command in PL/SQL ... but what do you think about dynamic SQL. Use the package methods DMBS_SQL.

I hope this helps ?

http://www.alligatorsql.com|||Hey, I can use dynamic SQL for something like the following

sql_stmt = 'select :col_name from :table_name where id=:id';
execute immediate into new_value using col_name, table_name, id

But this is an actual PL/SQL statement that I need to build on the fly like this

stmt := 'new_value=:new.'||col_name;
eval(stmt);
insert into audit_table values(:new.id,new_value,SYSDATE,col_name);

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.|||Hello,

whats about

DECLARE
cVar VARCHAR2(500) := 0;
BEGIN
cVar := 'DECLARE ' ||
' cThis VARCHAR2(200) := ''' ||
'BEGIN ' ||
' cThis := :new.' || column_name ||
' INSERT INTO and so on and so on ' ||
'END;';

.
.
.
do the dynamic stuff
.
.

END;

Is this what you want to do ?

.txt file to SQL Server 2005

My package inserts a text file into a database table. It first deletes the table rows, reseeds identity to 0 then inserts data from a .txt file.

Runs fine in development. When the package is run on the live server, it appears to have trouble connecting. I've checked the connection strings and they should be fine.

Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x8000FFFF
Error: The AcquireConnection metod call to the connection manager "MyServer.MyDB" failed with error code 0x8000FFFF

Any suggestions?Issue resolved: it didn't occur to me until now that I needed to change the configuration Data Source to "localhost" once it was on the server!!! Works like a charm now! My first SSIS pkg installed and working, now to create a job to run it each morning...the adventure continues.
