I’m inserting rows into a table from other tables in the SQL Server management Studio and some records violates a unique constraint because initial data is ‘dirty’ and is inconsistent.
How can I find which records violate?

Unfortunately your only solution is to validate the constrain with a query against the source data to find the culprits. If you’d use something like SSIS you could configure it to skip over the rows that violated the constraint(s).
