Here is my SP:

    Insert Into dbo.ContentSection

            CompanyID,
            SubMenu,
            Link,
            HeaderMenu,

    Select  C.MaxContentID + C.ID,
            CS.SectionID,
            CS.MenuOrder,

    From    dbo.#Content C
    Join    dbo.#ContentSections CS
    On      C.ID = CS.ID

End

When I run it I get the following:

For example:

(41 row(s) affected)

(41 row(s) affected)

Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Procedure sp_CopyCompanyContent, Line 122
Invalid column name ‘ID’.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Procedure sp_CopyCompanyContent, Line 122
Invalid column name ‘ID’.
Msg 207, Level 16, State 3, Procedure sp_CopyCompanyContent, Line 122
Invalid column name ‘ID’.

(1 row(s) affected)

Can anyone see why it says invalid column ID? It should be joining and filling the content perfectly..

Answer 1

Try replace code:

 Alter table #ContentSections Add ID Int Identity(1,1)
 Alter table #Content Add ID Int Identity(1,1)

with

exec('Alter table #ContentSections Add ID Int Identity(1,1)')
exec('Alter table #Content Add ID Int Identity(1,1)')

or add to your “select into” identity column as below:

SELECT  ID=IDENTITY (int, 1, 1) ....
INTO    #Table
FROM    Table

for example:

 Select         ID=IDENTITY (int, 1, 1),
                CS.ContentID,
                CS.SectionID,
                CS.MenuOrder,
                @intNewCompanyID NewCompanyID,
                CS.CompanyID OldCompanyID,
                CS.SubMenu,
                CS.Link,
                CS.HeaderMenu,
                CS.ParentContentID,
                CRS.*

    Into        dbo.#ContentSections

    From        dbo.Company COMP
    Join        dbo.ContentSection CS
    On          COMP.Company_id = CS.CompanyID  
    Join        dbo.Content CONT
    On          CONT.ContentID = CS.ContentID

    Cross Join  (
                    Select  MAx(ContentSectionID) MaxContentSectionID
                    From    dbo.ContentSection CONT
                ) crs

    Where       COMP.Company_id  = @intCopyFromCompanyID
    Order By    COMP.Company_id
