it has this error message:

An explicit value for the identity column in table 'DBMarashi..City' can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON.

your table has identity column. you need to set the identity insert before inserting the data.

SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.City ON
GO
