Question

I am not sure why the below code is giving errors when I try to create a stored procedure. I am relatively inexperienced with SP.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[InsertDuplicateFields] 
    (@UniqueColID varchar(50), @IndividualID varchar(50) = null)
AS
Begin           
    INSERT INTO TableCollisionBegin 
        SELECT * FROM TableCollisionBegin 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableCollisionDetails 
        SELECT * FROM TableCollisionDetails 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableCollisionLocation 
        SELECT * FROM TableCollisionLocation 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableDriver 
        SELECT * FROM TableDriver 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableFollowUp 
        SELECT * FROM TableFollowUp 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableOfficerLogs 
        SELECT * FROM TableOfficerLogs 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TablePolice 
        SELECT * FROM TablePolice 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableRecVerified 
        SELECT * FROM TableRecVerified 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableSignature 
        SELECT * FROM TableSignature 
        WHERE [IndividualID] = @IndividualID;

    INSERT INTO TableTrailer 
        SELECT * FROM TableTrailer 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableValidateLog 
        SELECT * FROM TableValidateLog 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableVehicle 
        SELECT * FROM TableVehicle 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableWitness 
        SELECT * FROM TableWitness 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;

    INSERT INTO TableInvolvedPerson 
        SELECT * FROM TableInvolvedPerson 
        WHERE [IndividualID] = @IndividualID;

    INSERT INTO TableStatement 
        SELECT * FROM TableStatement 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID; 

    INSERT INTO TableCollisionDiagram 
        SELECT * FROM TableCollisionDiagram 
        WHERE [UniqueColID] = @UniqueColID;
END

The error that I get is:

Line 21 Invalid column name ‘IndividualID’.

If I remove the line of code inserting individualID then it gives the same error about the UniqueColID

This is strange because in that given table there IS a column IndividualID so I don’t know why it won’t recognize it….I typed this code in MS Excel then copy pasted it into notepad, could that be why the code isn’t working?

I copied one row from that table and as you can see it DOES have IndividualID:

IndividualID
059D1263-F0F3-4D19-8C56-0FC7D2B5266E

Double check your table TableInvolvedPerson and make sure the column IndividualID is spelled the same.

Updated

When you updated your question, you added a value for IndividualID. The value you added is a Guid, which can possibly be stored in SQL Server as a UNIQUEIDENTIFIER column. But the type you declared on your stored procedure is a VARCHAR. Can you double check your types? What is the type for IndividualID on both the original table and the table you are copying into? Do they match?
