Question

I am trying to export data from my production DB to my development DB but I am getting this error:

Messages Error 0xc0202049: Data Flow Task 1: Failure inserting into the
read-only column “id”. (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard)

Is there a way to check which column is that because I have 20 tables that all of them use the column name id or at least get a better error report?

Answer 1

All I had to do was:

• Right-click on the column (in this case ‘ID’)
• Select Modify
• Inside the Column Properties scroll down until you see Identity Specification
• Expand the view and select NO from the drop down menu.

If anyone knows a different (faster) way of doing this please share
