Question

Good Morning. I have two tables, and one references the other. When I insert into the primary table, the primary key is auto-generated, viz Identity field. I need to insert this value into the second table.

I found out using the OUTPUT clause will give me the just inserted identity value, ans so I tried this.

insert into owners (pId) 
   insert into personal (firstName) 
   output inserted.pId 
   values ('fn')

It doesn’t work though. I get an error:

Incorrect syntax near the keyword ‘insert’

The personal table is the primary table, and the owners table contains the foreign key.
How can I do the required in SQL Server?

I’ve got stuck-up here for the past two days…

Answer 1

Try the following steps

1) Apply transaction level on insertion

2) Get last inserted id using Scope_Identity() function.

When you apply transaction level it will lock your tables and other/same user cannot insert the value in this time.

try this it will work for you.
