Cannot insert the value NULL into column - colom is nulllable and i filter out null values

I also tried to add only 1 row and it didnt work. I also tried 

 

CREATE TABLE [GoldWH_SalesOrder].[datamart_salesOrder].[dimProduct]

(

   ind int NOT NULL,

   Item VARCHAR(6000) NULL,

   UnitPrice REAL,

   ValidFrom date,

   validUntil date

)

GO

 

 

ALTER TABLE [GoldWH_SalesOrder].[datamart_salesOrder].[dimProduct] ADD CONSTRAINT PK_product PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED (ind) NOT ENFORCED;

 

 

INSERT INTO [GoldWH_SalesOrder].[datamart_salesOrder].[dimProduct]

( Item, UnitPrice, ValidFrom, validUntil)

SELECT  Item, UnitPrice, ValidFrom, ValidUntil

from [SilverWH_salesorder].[dbo].[scd2_product_view]

where Item is not NULL and UnitPrice is not NULL and ValidFrom is not NULL and ValidUntil is not NULL

 

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'Item', table 'dimProduct'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.

Hi @ranoren ,

 

Can you try this and let me know the results?

INSERT INTO [GoldWH_SalesOrder].[datamart_salesOrder].[dimProduct]
(ind, Item, UnitPrice, ValidFrom, validUntil)
SELECT 1, Item, UnitPrice, ValidFrom, validUntil
from [SilverWH_salesorder].[dbo].[scd2_product_view]
where Item is not NULL and UnitPrice is not NULL and ValidFrom is not NULL and validUntil is not NULL;

It works fine in my case.

The problem should be with the ind column, which is set to not null but does not have any value when inserted.
