I'm going to insert rows in target table using MERGE tables in SQL Server 2014. I want to auto incremental ID column in target table.
CREATE TABLE #targetTable(id int,name varchar(50))
CREATE TABLE #sourceTable(id int,name varchar(50))
INSERT INTO #sourceTable values(1,'John');
INSERT INTO #sourceTable values(1,'Albrt');
INSERT INTO #sourceTable values(1,'Roy');
MERGE #targetTable AS [target]
USING #sourceTable AS [source]
ON [target].id = [source].id
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (id, Name)
VALUES ((select isnull(max(id),1) + 1 from #sourceTable), source.Name);
select * from #targetTable as T
drop table #targetTable
drop table #sourceTable
I had tried to do like select isnull(max(id),1) + 1 from #sourceTable but its gives same ids to all columns. This one will return below output
2 John
2 Albrt
2 Roy
output needed like
2 John
3 Albrt
4 Roy
What changes i have to do for my expected output?
