I would like to add a column to a published table but not have that column replicated to subscribers. I can accomplish this via the UI by adding the column and then unchecking it. This adds the column to the publisher table but does not replicate it to the subscriber.
I am looking for a programmatic method to add a column to the base table and unmark it for replication.
Thanks for your assistance.
Hi
Using merge replication - the stored procs are published articles.
When trying to change the article at the subscriber (sql express) I get the following errors:
Msg 21531, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_alterschemaonly, Line 45
The DDL statement cannot be performed at the Subscriber or Republisher.
Msg 21530, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_ddldispatcher, Line 181
The DDL operation failed inside merge DDL replication manipulation.
Msg 3609, Level 16, State 2, Procedure usp_Anniversary_upd, Line 21
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
Does this mean it can only be changed at the publisher ?

In my situation I have multiple transactional publishers replicating to a single subscriber in SQL2005. When making table changes (like adding a column) I want to be able to add the column to one publisher, let it replicate and then add the column to the remaining publishers and have it not replicate (because it would error trying to add a column that already exists on the subscriber). So I thought I could set the first publisher to "Replicate Schema Changes = True" and the remaining to False. Then add the column to each publisher and then insert new rows in each publisher table. It works for the first publisher, but the remaining publishers fail with "stored procedure sp_MSins_dboMYTABLE expects parameter @c3 which was not supplied". The remaining publishers don't seem to recognize the new column to pass the value the subscriber sproc.
I feel I'm missing something basic here. Is there a way to fix this? Or a better way altogether?
Thanks!
Can someone please tell me how to retrieve/query the list of fields from an entity of a report data model that has been published on the reporting server programmatically ?
I am trying to upload a report data model to the reporting server and planning to use that model as the data source and consume it through our existing web application?
Thank you ,

Hi guys,
Is there any way or method to CHANGE the DATATYPE of a column in a published table being used for transactional replication (MSSQL 2000), WITHOUT DROPPING THE SUBSCRIPTION ????
Im stuck in this mess and do have the option to drop the subscription, alter the table, create the subscription and rerun the snapshot or to recreate it by Manual Synchronisation either.
Can anyone help? Has anyone been across this dilemma before and have troubleshooted the problem? If yes, help is much appreciated.
MY PROBLEM:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'MyTable' is currently being published and has subscriptions to it. The PRIMARY KEY column 'id' has an Identity property as well. 'id' is of datatype smallint, however because of bad planning, i now need to change that datatype to an integer to support a larger range WITHOUT DROPPING SUBSCRIPTIONS.
I CANT DROP THE COLUMN EITHER AS IT IS BEING THE PRIMARY KEY COLUMN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I CAN DO TO ARCHIEVE MY GOAL? THANKYOU.
Hi! I've added a column to a published table in the Publisher using SP_REPLADDCOLUMN. After doing this the replication triggers for that table(i.e. del_%,upd_%,ins_%) are doubled both at the Publisher and at the Subscriber. If i update anyone of the column in the table at the Subscriber; i get the following error:
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure upd_3E6DE124B82D42A5AEB169557C0D757C, Line 60
Invalid object name 'ctsv_3E6DE124B82D42A5AEB169557C0D757C'.
Any ideas, what has gone wrong????
I have the following SQL setup.
Publisher: Enterprise Edition, SP3.
Subscriber: Standard-Edition, SP3.
The error is at the Subscriber.
Good morning folks,
I'm getting the above error message when trying to drop a table. I'm not to familiar with the setup of this SQL server, so I not sure if the replication is enabled. I have never had to use replication so I don't know to much about it. Does anyone know how I guess to remove this table from the replication list so that it could be dropped?
Thanks much

Hi all,I'm using SQL Server 2000 SP3 to store data for real time transactionprocessing.I have set up replication to another server using a push subscription togive me immediate backup.I need to alter the data type of one of the columns and am using thefollowing basic sql:alter table Voucheralter column SerialNumber varchar(20) NOT NULLHowever I keep getting this error message:Server: Msg 4929, Level 16, State 1, Line 1Cannot alter the table 'Terminals' because it is being published forreplication.Is there anything I can do to allow this update taking place, short ofdeleting the subscription and recreating it. (I want to try and avoidthis as the same update needs to be applied to about 10 databases thatare also replicated in the same way).All help is appreciated.Brian.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

Regarding to my previous post at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=553652&SiteID=1, just wondering if there's a way to detect any changes which is made on the existing indexes in a published table so that the device can determine whether reinitialization of subscrption is needed before every synchronization.
Cheers,

hi,
is it possible to replicate data from one table to another which have different names,different schemas and different column names.
Im trying this using transactional replication.
i achieved this for different schema, different table names.but it is failing for different column names.
till now i haven't got a proper reply for my problem.

I am trying to replicated table A into table B withing the same server and the same database.
I am getting an error message when trying to configure the subscription: You have selected the Publisher as a Subscriber and entered a subscription database that is the same as the publishing database. Select another subscription database.
Is there any workaround for this?
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2.
When replicating a table which has an identity column I get the error: "Procedure cp_insert_tblname expects parameter @C1, which was not supplied.". The stored procedure appears to be called without any parameters so my insert stored procedure does not work. I know I'm missing something basic here!! Do I have to add the field names when telling replication to use a custom stored procedure. If not, how do arguments get passed to my SP, as globals somehow?
Any info greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Jay
I get the following error message when a job calls a Stored Procedure that TRUNCATES a Table:
Cannot truncate table 'CombinedSurveyData' because it is published for replication or enabled for Change Data Capture
Is my only option to change the TRUNCATE to DELETE?

I have a single table on database A that needs to be replicated to two databases B and C in as-near-to-real-time as possible. The table is cleared every morning, and receives about 40,000 records per hour. Records are only added to the table, never updated or deleted.
I'm wondering what is the best approach to replicate this table :
1 - Transactional Replication
2 - A trigger on the INSERT on table in A that then inserts the record into B and C
3 - Timed jobs running on B and C that pull new records from A
thanks all in advance.
Hi,
I have a SQL 2005 Mobile db merge synching to SQL Server 2005. I've been using this for a few months now and generally it works well (except when adding not null columns with default values, but that's another story...). I just added a new table to the server, went into the publication articles and checked the new table. It told me I would need to generate a new snapshot for the table, so I then generated a new snapshot. Then I synched the mobile db and it worked with no errors, but the new table I added on the server is not on the mobile db (I checked using the Query Analyzer). I have also tried reinitializing subscriptions, but this didn't work either. Any ideas why this table would not be synched to my mobile db (and no error message on mobile device)?

Dear All,
i dont know the exact reson why, but i'm guessing the reason for each table had a new guid column is because of transactional replication with update subscribers. actually i dont need this.
can i change this to transactional replication? or i need to drop the column in each table? please guide me

Even you learn 1%, Learn it with 100% confidence.
Set publisher database table column to 1.
Replicate table to subscriber (column is also 1 on subscriber once it is replicated).
Set subscriber database column to 2.
Update publisher database column to 1 (even though it is already 1).
Change is NOT replicated to subscriber (it stays at 2).
This means that replication is comparing the insert statement to its current value in the database.
Is there any way to change this behavior? We want the the column to replicate to the subscriber.
I am trying to replicate data from a view in the publisher to a table in the subscriber (transaction replication). I do not need the view's base table, or the view itself, replicated to the subscriber. I only want to data from the view to feed a table in the subscriber.
Is this possible?
Running SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
I have few tables, which are replicated and partitioned. They also have archival process. I want to avoid having to run that same process on the subscriber.
Replication of partition switching is easy. However I am not sure how to replicate merge range and empty filegroup/file drops.
There the following article options:
Copy file group associations
Copy table partitioning schemes
Copy index partitioning schemes
I am not sure if these are enough to implement the replication of merge range and empty filegroup/file drops.
I could not find and option to copy partition functions.
Is it possible to create a trigger on a subscriber table so that when something on the subsriber table is changed a trigger can send some of the changes made to the subscriber table to another table?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have 1 table to be merge replicated to 2 other servers (DATA5 and DATA5R). Whichever server I push a subscription to first works just fine. The second server get the following error.

I'm not sure why it expect the table to be there already. It doesn't on the first server. Am I missing something. If I create the substription for DATA5R first then it works and DATA5 fails.
What am I missing?
When you setup a subscriber to a publication, that is pull the publication, does it copy all the rows or does it keep track of which rows changed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI do not understand why I have this issue.
SQL 2012 SP2, Transactional Replication.
I have added a new table to a database (existing publication) using T-SQL, I then opened up publisher properties, and ticked the new table/article so that it would be added to the subscriber. It did not show up.
I did not use a snapshot to initialize the subscription.
Immediate Synch is 0.
allow_anonymous is 0.
I mark the subscription to be reinitialized. When I start the snapshot agent I get '0% A snapshot was not generated because no subscriptions needed initialization'.
What could I be doing wrong, or missed out? Do I need to drop and recreate the subscription to get the article to show up?
We have a database we are replicating to about 8 SQL Express subscribers from a SQL 2012 SP2 publisher. The size of the database grew too large for the 10GB license limit for SQL Express and now replication refuses to replicate any of our deletions on the publisher to reduce the size of the database. I've come up with a few options below.
1) Drop one of the larger table indices on the subscriber database to get below the size restriction. Permit the replication to replicate the deleted records and then rebuild the index. (I'm not sure how important an index is to this table. Is it merely performance related?)
2) "Upsize" SQL Express to SQL Standard on the affected boxes. Allow the deletes to replicate. Backup the database, downgrade to SQL Express and restore the database back to SQL a new SQL express instance. This would involve a lot of work on each box. I'd like to avoid it if possible.
For example,I have a table "authors" with a column "author_name",and it has three value "Anne Ringer,Ann Dull,Johnson White".Here I want to create a new table by using a select sentence,its columns come from the values of the column "author_name".
can you tell me how can I complete this with the SQL?
Sumanesh writes "Recently I read one article “Converting Multiple Rows into a CSV string�
(http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=256)
I have found one easy and more efficient way to achieve the same thing.
First I have a table called test with 2 columns (ID and Data)
And some data inserted into it.
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].CombineData(@ID SMALLINT)
RETURNS VARCHAR(2000)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Data VARCHAR(2000)
SET @Data = ''
SELECT @Data = @Data + Data + ',' FROM Test WHERE ID = @ID
RETURN LEFT(@Data,LEN(@Data)-1)
END
GO
Then used a simple select query to achieve the same
SELECT DISTINCT ID, [dbo].CombineData(ID) FROM Test
Which achieved the same thing without using any temporary tables and Cursors. I am sure that you will accept that this is more efficient than the one that has been published.
Thanks

I'm getting the following error:An error has occurred while establishing a connection
to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be
caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26
- Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Here's the setup: I have a website I've published on my server, but I haven't moved the SQL DB over to the server. For some reason the testing server can't connect with sql express on my computer. I have named pipes, tcp/ip both on, connections string is "Data Source=AMBA-176SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI"When I'm simply testing the site locally in visual studio it can connect just fine.
I've been unable to determine why several published instances of my SQL Servers are not showing in AD. I searched under the Computer container in the domain in which the SQL Server was installed and did not see any SQL Server folder. I have used both the GUI and T-SQL to publish various instances, and it appeared to have worked since from the GUI the "Publish" option no longer worked and I recieved no error from Query Analyzer after issuing the command. The version is SQL Server 2000 8.0 running SP3a.
I also ran a VBScript to query the directory for published instances of SQL server, but did not get any results returned in the recordset. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

hi,
i am tring to use the 'xcopy' way to deploy my web site, this is the connection string i am using:
"Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;INITIAL CATALOG=;AttachDbFilename='|DataDirectory|HotStage.mdf';Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
it works when in debug mode, but after i depoly it to my XP's IIS, it can not login the database, the error message is :
Cannot Login to the default user database. Login Failed. Login Failed for user xxxASPNET
'xxx' is my computer.
i think this problem is cause of improper setting of security, but i really do not know how to set it in this situation, because the database is attached to the db system dynamically.
plz someone help, thx
Hi,
I have read that the old method of using DTS to transform data during replication will not be supported in 2005.
In SQL Server 2005, is there a way to use an SSIS package to modify data you want to replicate?
I published a report in SSRS 2005. I see the report on the SSRS home page. How do I remove the report from server and from the home page?
