RE: Inserted Identity Values in SQL 2005

Thanks for your response. The query that attempts to retreive the identity
value (using the @@IDENTITY func) fails to return any rows. There is no
other error that we can see directly. Alternatively, if we copy the exact
same set of queries (i.e. the initial INSERT INTO... as well as the SELECT
[ID] FROM tablename WHERE [ID]=@@IDENTITY) within Query Anayzer (in SQL2005
on the production database) everything always works perfectly. This is why
we thought this may be something related to using ADO to run the queries.

We are concerned about making changes to articles on the production database
(i.e. changing identity range values) as you suggest since this could
significantly impact operation and use of the database which is currently
live. We'd really like to understand better why the queries execute
differently when using ADO (and why this is a problem that has arrisen only
within SQL 2005 and not the older 2000 version which was also part of a merge
replication). Please let me know if anyone has any other suggestions.
Thanks. -David

Hi,
I understand that after your application was deployed in production
environment who has a SQL server 2005 merge replication, it sporadically
failled to retrive the new inserted identity values.
If I have misunderstood, please let me know.

Did you get incorrect identity values or enounter some exception errors?

This seems to be a SQL Server replication identity range issue. You may try
setting the identity_range to 1 to see if this helps.
Please refer to this article to change automatic identity range management
settings for an existing article in a merge publication.
