Column name or number of supplied values does not

问题:

In SQL server, I am trying to insert values from one table to another by using the below query:

delete from tblTable1

insert into tblTable1 select * from tblTable1_Link

I am getting the following error:

Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.

I am sure that both the tables have same structure, same column names and same data types.

Please help!

回答1:

They don't have the same structure... I can guarantee they are different

I know you've already created it... There is already an object named ‘tbltable1’ in the database

What you may want is this (which also fixes your other issue):

Drop table tblTable1

select * into tblTable1 from tblTable1_Link

回答2:

for inserts it is always better to specify the column names see the following

DECLARE @Table TABLE(
        Val1 VARCHAR(MAX)
)

INSERT INTO @Table SELECT '1'

works fine, changing the table def to causes the error

DECLARE @Table TABLE(
        Val1 VARCHAR(MAX),
        Val2 VARCHAR(MAX)
)

INSERT INTO @Table SELECT '1'

Msg 213, Level 16, State 1, Line 6 Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.

But changing the above to

DECLARE @Table TABLE(
        Val1 VARCHAR(MAX),
        Val2 VARCHAR(MAX)
)

INSERT INTO @Table (Val1)  SELECT '1'

works. You need to be more specific with the columns specified

supply the structures and we can have a look

This is an older post but I want to also mention that if you have something like

insert into blah
       select * from blah2

and blah and blah2 are identical keep in mind that a computed column will throw this same error...

I just realized that when the above failed and I tried

insert into blah (cola, colb, colc)
       select cola, colb, colc from blah2

In my example it was fullname field (computed from first and last, etc)

回答4:

The problem is that you are trying to insert data into the database without using columns. Sql server gives you that error message.

error: insert into users values('1', '2','3') - this works fine as long you only have 3 columns

if you have 4 columns but only want to insert into 3 of them

correct: insert into users (firstName,lastName,city) values ('Tom', 'Jones', 'Miami')

hope this helps

Dropping the table was not an option for me, since I'm keeping a running log. If every time I needed to insert I had to drop, the table would be meaningless.

My error was because I had a couple columns in the create table statement that were products of other columns, changing these fixed my problem. eg

create table foo (
field1 as int
,field2 as int
,field12 as field1 + field2 )

create table copyOfFoo (
field1 as int
,field2 as int
,field12 as field1 + field2)  --this is the problem, should just be 'as int'

insert into copyOfFoo
SELECT * FROM foo

回答6:

the column prefix does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.

I was also working to solve this error

Nw i found why it is comming just needs to make small changes in query

回答7:

The computed columns make the problem. Do not use SELECT *. You must specify each fields after SELECT except computed fields

回答8:

I hope you have found a good solution. I had the same problem, and the way I worked around it is probably not the best but it is working now.

it involves creating a linked server and using dynamic sql - not the best, but if anyone can suggest something better, please comment/answer.

declare @sql nvarchar(max)


DECLARE @DB_SPACE TABLE (
[DatabaseName] NVARCHAR(128) NOT NULL,
[FILEID] [smallint] NOT NULL,
[FILE_SIZE_MB] INT NOT NULL DEFAULT (0),
[SPACE_USED_MB] INT NULL DEFAULT (0),

PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([DatabaseName] ,[FILEID] )
)  


SELECT @SQL ='SELECT [DatabaseName],
        [FILEID],
        [FILE_SIZE_MB],
        [SPACE_USED_MB],
        [FREE_SPACE_MB],
        [LOGICALNAME],

exec sp_executesql @sql


      INSERT INTO @DB_SPACE(
                            [DatabaseName],
                            [FILEID],
                            [FILE_SIZE_MB],
                            [SPACE_USED_MB],
                            [FREE_SPACE_MB],
                            [LOGICALNAME],
                            [DRIVE],
                            [FILENAME],
                            [FILE_TYPE],
                            THE_AUTOGROWTH_IN_KB,
                            [filegroup],
                            maxsize
                          )

      EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @SQL

this is working for me now. I can guarantee the number of columns and type of columns returned by the stored procedure are the same as in this table, simply because I return the same table from the stored procedure.

thanks and regards marcelo

For me the culprit is int value assigned to salary

Insert into Employees(ID,FirstName,LastName,Gender,Salary) values(3,'Canada', 'pa', 'm',15,000)

in salary column When we assign 15,000 the compiler understand 15 and 000.

This correction works fine for me. Insert into Employees(ID,FirstName,LastName,Gender,Salary) values(4,'US', 'sam', 'm',15000)

check your id is it Identity , if it is then make sure there is ID not null Identity(1,1) and before creating your table , Drop table and then create table.. After 2 days i solved my this issue..

Update to SQL server 2016/2017/…
We have some stored procedures in place to import and export databases.
In the sp we use (amongst other things) RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK where we create a table "#restoretemp" for the restore from file.

With SQL server 2016, MS has added a field SnapshotURL nvarchar(360) (restore url Azure) what has caused the error message.
After I have enhanced the additional field, the restore has worked again.
Code snipped (see last field):

 SET @query = 'RESTORE FILELISTONLY FROM DISK = ' + QUOTENAME(@BackupFile , '''')
CREATE TABLE #restoretemp
(
LogicalName nvarchar(128)
,PhysicalName nvarchar(128)
,[Type] char(1)
,FileGroupName nvarchar(128)
,[Size] numeric(20,0)
,[MaxSize] numeric(20,0)
,FileID bigint
,CreateLSN numeric(25,0)
,DropLSN numeric(25,0) NULL
,UniqueID uniqueidentifier
,ReadOnlyLSN numeric(25,0)
,ReadWriteLSN numeric(25,0)
,BackupSizeInByte bigint
,SourceBlockSize int
,FilegroupID int
,LogGroupGUID uniqueidentifier NULL
,DifferentialBaseLSN numeric(25,0)
,DifferentialbaseGUID uniqueidentifier
,IsReadOnly bit
,IsPresent bit
,TDEThumbprint varbinary(32)
-- Added field 01.10.2018 needed from SQL Server 2016 (Azure URL)
,SnapshotURL nvarchar(360)
)

INSERT #restoretemp EXEC (@query)
SET @errorstat = @@ERROR
if @errorstat <> 0 
Begin
if @Rueckgabe = 0 SET @Rueckgabe = 6
End
Print @Rueckgabe

Beware of triggers. Maybe the issue is with some operation in the trigger for inserted rows.
