Using a Sequence
rodgerkongI created a new database called AAA. I then created a new query and inserted these two lines:
USE AAA
GOThen I did a copy/paste of the code in Example A. Result: Same error message.
What permissions do I need to check? On the whole database? Something else? How?
Regarding the last question: Consider me a competent novice at SQL Server. I know how to work in SSMS but details such as permissions have not yet been gained.
The permissions is OK, you create the db, you are the db owner.
Could you run these 3 script and post their results?
SELECT @@VERSIONand
EXEC sp_helpdb 'AAA'and
USE AAA
GO
SELECT * FROM sys.sequences- SezMeOct 28, 2024Copper Contributor
rodgerkong Here is the SQL:
USE AAA GO SELECT @@VERSION GO EXEC sp_helpdb 'AAA' GO SELECT * FROM sys.sequences GO USE PIM GO EXEC sp_helpdb 'PIM' GO SELECT * FROM sys.sequences GOPIM is the name of the app that is causing the problem.
Here are the results:

- rodgerkongOct 28, 2024Iron ContributorCan't find anything out of ordinary except there is not a SEQUENCE exists in AAA. I don't know what to do next either. Try it on another SQL SERVER?

rodgerkong &^*((* I posted the results but they don't seem to be here. I'll post them again ... after I rerun the queries.
