Cannot insert explicit value for identity column #5436 | Support Center

bilalhaidar created 6 years ago

Hi, I am running my application on a new laptop. I installed the database via update-database command and then tried to run the app. I get the following exception:

"Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'XXX' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF."

The exception occurs on this line:

var parent = _context.SpecificNeeds.Add(new SpecificNeed("Child at risk")).Entity;
 _context.SaveChanges();

All was working fine on the previous machine.

Any idea what might be the problem?

Can you share the error stack information?

that doesn't seem to seen as the out of box code. if it's your code, be aware that you cannot insert an entity with Id field set. The field (Id) is auto increment and must be empty.

Hello @alper,

This is the stack trace.

Actually, I am not adding any value for the ID. This code was working before. Now on the new machine it is not.

I am just seeding some values and that's where I am getting the exception.

private void _create()
        {
            //Create if table is empty
            if (!_context.SpecificNeeds.Any())
            {
                var parent = _context.SpecificNeeds.Add(new SpecificNeed("Child at risk")).Entity;
                _context.SaveChanges(); // Exception here

Hi @bilalhaidar,

This might be related to Database. What is your database (SQL Server 201x ) ?

Hi @ismcagdas

It is: SQL Server 2016

Could you set Identity Insert On by running an SQL query manually to see if it works ? <a class="postlink" href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t-sql/statements/set-identity-insert-transact-sql?view=sql-server-2017">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/t- ... erver-2017</a>

I run the script on the database you mean?

Execute the sql statement directly in the database of your problem.

SET IDENTITY_INSERT yourtable ON
INSERT INTO yourtable (id, name) VALUES (1, 'test 1.0')
SET IDENTITY_INSERT yourtable OFF

I noticed the following.

var item = new SpecificNeed("Child at risk");

The object item has Id equal to 0.

After running the line below:

var parent = _context.SpecificNeeds.Add(item).Entity;

Now parent object has Id with a value of -2147482647

Isn't that weird?

Hi, I finally made it work. In one of the entities, I need to provide a value for Id. However, Id is configured to be Identity Column.

Therefore, I had to make use of the following:

_context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.DrcYesNoDecline ON");
                ...
                _context.SaveChanges();
                _context.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.DrcYesNoDecline OFF");
