Question

When trying to run an insert statement I get the following error:

Msg 544, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'IV00101' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.

Is there a simple way to find what identity column I am trying to insert into that is causing this error?

Problem is my insert statement has 84 values I am inserting into.

I am using Microsoft SQL 2008

Answer 1

SELECT name 
  FROM sys.columns 
  WHERE [object_id] = OBJECT_ID('dbo.IV00101') 
  AND is_identity = 1;
