    <p>The solution to this problem depends on whether the "parent" table (i.e. the one with the IDENTITY column) has a natural key (i.e. one or more fields which, when combined, are guaranteed to be unique, <i>other than the surrogate primary key</i>).</p> <p>For example, in this case, is the combinaton of Name and Address aways going to be unique?</p> <p>If the answer is yes then you can simply insert into EmpBasic without bothering to output and store the generated IDs. You can then insert into EmpProject joining back on to EmpBasic using the natural key (e.g. name and address) to fnd the correct EmpID.</p> <pre><code>Insert into EmpBasic Select T1Name, T1Address from EmpFull_Temp Where ObjectID &lt; 106 Insert into EmpProject Select A.EmpID, B.T1EmpProject from EmpBasic as A, EmpFull_Temp as B Where A.Name = B.Name And A.Address = B.Address </code></pre> <p>If the answer is no then there is no easy solution I know of - in SQL Server 2005 (I've no idea if this is any different in 2008), it's not possible to OUTPUT values that are not inserted. I've got around this issue in the past by using one of the other fields (e.g. Name) to temporarily store the original ID (in this case, ObjectID), use that to join when inserting the child records as described above and then gone back to update the parent records o remove/replace the temporary values. It's not nice but I've not found a better way.</p> <pre><code>Insert into EmpBasic Select cast(ObjectID as varchar(50)) as name, T1Address from EmpFull_Temp Where ObjectID &lt; 106 Insert into EmpProject Select A.EmpID, B.T1EmpProject from EmpBasic as A, EmpFull_Temp as B Where A.Name = cast(B.ObjectID as varchar(50)) Update EmpBasic Set Name = B.T1Name from EmpBasic as A, EmpFull_Temp as B Where A.Name = cast(B.ObjectID as varchar(50)) </code></pre> <p>Please note: I've not tested the sample SQL given above but I hope it gives you an idea of how you might approach this.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
