Question

My table has 3 columns ID, ISOCode and CountryName.

Column ID is an IDENTITY column.

When I insert new records into this table, I want to populate the ISOCode field – on occasion – with the same value as the ID field.

I’ve tried SCOPE_IDENTITY(), @@IDENTITY and IDENT_CURRENT but none of these seems to work.

Is there a way I can do this?

Answer 1

you could write a trigger to update the ISOCode column

In Trigger use the code below

update T set T.ISOCode=I.ID
from your_table T
join INSERTED I
on T.ID=I.ID
