Question

I need to transfer users info from the live DB to its new home (which was created via a backup of the live DB so Im only looking to port new users across.(running sql sqerver 2005)

I can Transfer the aspnet_ tables without any issue

However when I try to do the users table it errors with:

Msg 512, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Mailing_list, Line 18
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.

Query

begin TRAN
SET IDENTITY_INSERT TargetDB.dbo.users ON

INSERT INTO TargetDB.dbo.users (UserId, UserName, FirstName, LastName, IsSuperUser,
                                AffiliateId, Email, DisplayName, UpdatePassword)
(SELECT dnnu.UserId, dnnu.username, dnnu.firstname, dnnu.lastname, 
        dnnu.isSuperuser, dnnu.AffiliateId, dnnu.Email, dnnu.DisplayName, 
        dnnu.UpdatePassword
FROM LiveDB.dbo.users dnnu
    INNER JOIN LiveDB.dbo.aspnet_users u
        ON (dnnu.username = u.username)

WHERE dnnu.username NOT IN (SELECT username
                            FROM TargetDB.dbo.users))

SET IDENTITY_INSERT TargetDB.dbo.users OFF
commit TRAN

I have also run this same section of code on at least two other Database with no issues

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

After spending an hour or two yesturday staring at this issue and deciding to ask the question I took a second glance and it hit me.

There was a trigger on the table for insert/update and it was throwing a wobbly dropped it ran the query and it now works
