I’ve created a temp table by just copying all data from an existing table.

  • 0

I’ve created a temp table by just copying all data from an existing table. In the original table there is an identity column MemberNumber.

Every month, I need to find any new entries in the original table by comparing if the MemberNumber exists or not in my temp table and if not then insert this into my temp table. But I get the following error

An explicit value for the identity column in table….

How can I just insert the MemberNumber value as is without it being an identity?

How do I not have this column be an identity column in my temp table?

Thanks

    It seems like the best way would be to re-create the temp table without the identity property. But if you’re not able to do that for some reason, note that you can insert values into an identity column, by using SET IDENTITY_INSERT OFF.
