Basically you are trying to insert into a table all the values still present in this table.

What do you want your query to do exactly?

Solution 2

Instead of putting * in select query use column names and if any IDENTITY column is there then please dn't use IDENTITY Column name.

Then run the query, this will work.

Thanks

Solution 4

Just give all columns name except identity column... Because you can not insert value in identity field (may be Duplicate or Auto Increment field).

Solution 3

Hi,

Check this...An Explicit Value..[^]

You are inserting values in Identity Column. Try to avoid this either make Identity_Insert Off or Use columns name except identity column.

Cheers
