I'm executing the following code and it is failing. What am I missing?

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TestDataTable](
[ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Code] [varchar](10) NULL,
[Description] [varchar](100) NULL,
[ParentID] [int] NULL,
CONSTRAINT [ID] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED(
[ID] ASC))
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
--Insert Data into Testdatatable
SET IDENTITY_INSERT [master] . [ dbo ] . TestDataTable ON
INSERT INTO TestDataTable
SELECT Code, Description, ParentID FROM TEMPTABLE

What error are you getting?

There is no reason to set identity insert on, unless you are trying to insert a specific identity value. Remove that part, and specify the columns excluding the ID and it will work.

Example:

INSERT INTO TestDataTable (Code, Description, ParentID)
SELECT Code, Description, ParentID FROM TempTable;
