Hi all,
After I setup the merge replication in SQL SERVER 7.0, there is a rowguid column (datatype uniqueidentifier) inserted into each table in the both the source and destination database.
I need to get rid of the rowguid column in all tables. I deleted the replication, but the column still existed.
Is there an easy way to get rid of all the rowguid column in the database? Thanks for your reponse in advanced.
Hi there,
I have setup merge replication which successfully synchronizes with a group of desktop users using SQL Compact Edition.
However now I have setup Article Filters and when I attempt to regenerate the snapshot I get the following error:
Invalid column name 'rowguid'.
Failed to generate merge replication stored procedures for article 'AssignedCriteria'.
When I look at publication properties at the Articles page.. All my tables have the rowguid uniqueidentifier successfully added to tables and selected as a compulsory published column, apart from the table above "AssignedCriteria".. Even when I attempt to select this column in the article properties page and press ok, when I come back it is deselected again. ( The Rowguid column is however physically added to the table)
I have scripted the publication SQL and then totally reinstalled from scratch, including the database but for some reason it doesn't like this table. I remove the article filters, but still this "rowguid" is never "selected" in article properties.
We are using Uniqueidentifiers in other columns as well for historical reasons, but this doesn't appear to be a problem in other tables..
DDL For this problematic table is as follows
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AssignedCriteria](
[AssignedCriteria] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[CriteriaName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[TargetScore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,
[HRPlan] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[ActualScore] [numeric](18, 0) NULL,
[Criteria] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[Employee] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[IsActive] [bit] NULL,
[addDate] [datetime] NULL,
[totalscore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,
[isCalc] [bit] NULL,
[Weight] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,
[ProfileDetail] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [MSmerge_df_rowguid_7FF25DF903B6415FBFF24AC954BC88E4] DEFAULT (newsequentialid()),
CONSTRAINT [PK_AssignedCriteria] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[AssignedCriteria] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]
Thanks.
hi,I have a database that has Primary Key constraints on every table.

I'm a rather newbie, not only to this forum but also to sql server having a question to the following issue:
Is it possible to drop/remove/delete the "orphan" of a merge subscription on one instance of sql server without having the (former) distributor/publisher (on other instance) available?
The background is: I had a small replication infrastructure with two instances (on two machines), one the publisher and distributor, the other the subscriber. Now it happened that the publisher/distributor machine was completely set up new without having the replication dropped in advance, what remained on the subscriber is now a database with all the merge/replication tables and the guid columns in the user tables.
Moreover this, an entry remained in the subscription saying that a subscription with the former publisher exists...
Can I remove these "orphans" without having to setup the instance again?
Thank you,
Andy
Hi all,
I know that adding a column using ALTER TABLE to add a column automatically allows SQLSERVER 2005 to replicate the schema changes to the subscribers, however, I would like to add a new column to an existing article that is being used for merge replication, however, I don't want this column to be replicated. Re-initialising the subscriptions is not a option. Help would be appreciated.
I am using SQLSERVER 2005 (SP1).
Hi I have tried to add a new column to a publication table using sp_repladdcolumn and also directly add the column under Publication's properties screen.
I am able to add the column using both method. But changes to the newly added column either at the publisher or subscription databse will not get replicated.
Have I miss out something? or do I need to reinitialise the subscription to make changes in the newly added column to be replicated?
What query should I run?
1. To determine whether a column is a rowguid or not using C# .NET 1.1
2. To add/modify column information and be able to set/change:
- Primary key
- Column Name
- Data Type
- Length
- Allow Null
- Default value
- Precision
- Scale
- Identity
- Identity Seed
- Identity Increment
- Row guid
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
I have a table used in Merge Replication. If i add a new column in that table it gives me an error for tables in which either this table is a key or this table has key from other tables "Error validating the default for column 'rowguid'." Also for views i'm getting an error
"View 'dbo.vw_TestCaseBasic': indexes and schema binding will be removed."
If i proceed further i get an error and m not able to add the column.
"It is invalid to drop the default constraint on the rowguid column that is used by merge replication.
The schema change failed during execution of an internal replication procedure. For corrective action, see the other error messages that accompany this error message.
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted."
Is there any solution for the same?

Is the maximum number columns per table still 246 for a Merge replication in SQL Server 2005?
Please provide me a column-level merge replication in SQL Server 2005. In the SQL Sever books online, I could able to get very few informaiton about this topic. Please provide me a best practices for using this kind of conflict resolution in Merge-replication.

I'm working with merge replication between Sql Server 2005 and Sql Server 2005 Mobile. I'm using dynamic filtering by function HOST_NAME (... where Table.FilteredColumn = HOST_NAME())
When I'm trying to chagne values from filtered column on the client side (Table.FileteredColumn) I get error message that the column is read-only.
How can I change data in filtered column? Is this possible?
Hi all and I appreciate any help
I recently been assigned to a project that has an ms-access front end and sql server 2000 sp4 as the database engine.
The database was replicated (merge replication) but for some reason they drop replication and when they tried to put it back on they got allot of problems and so they paused it.
My task now is to make it work again. After allot of reading I desided to clean the database and start from the beginning. Using some scripts and instructions on a copy of the database I cleaned all the tables related to merge replication but when I went back to ms-access to update a record I got an error
"invalid column name 'rowguid'" . I checked all my tables in my database but I find not such column as it was dropped using the scripts.
Any ideas that I can use?
Thanks allot,
George
Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a merge publication in MSSQL 2005 SP1.
I have a database which I have successfully made into a merge publication. When I run the snapshot agent, several articles are processed successfully, then I encounter an error with the following: Invalid column name 'rowguid'
Note that none of the tables contain 'rowguid' columns before this process - I let MSSQL automatically create these as needed.
The replication monitor details the following error:

Hello Everyone,
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I am looking to preserve the ROWGUID column that is created automatically when a table is added to a publication as I have noticed that the column is removed and readded (with new values) each time the publication is deleted and recreated. We are planning on using the values in the rowguid column for a non-replication purpose, and don't wish the column to be removed or the values to be reset in the event the 'owning' publication is dropped for whatever reason. I've done some research and have identified the preserve_rowguidcol column of the sysmergearticles table as a candidate for achieving the desired goal. Before moving forward, I wanted to ask for input regarding this. Are there any best practices I've overlooked on this topic? Neither Google nor this forum's search results yield any real discussion on this topic.
Thanks!

Hi All,
I had a HDD failure that caused the database to become SUSPECT. Thats ok we have backups to fall back on. Restoring the database failed because the database is used for repliacation, the database status was set to LOADING (in middle of restore). Because of this status I am unable to remove the repliaction to allow the database restore.
Whats a way to change the database status from loading? Or is there any way of removing it completely and starting again from a backup? Can I force repliaction to be removed?
Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem, all help and suggestions are much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan
Hi all,
I try to remove a replication with from my MS SQL 2000
DECLARE @publication AS sysname
DECLARE @publicationDB AS sysname
SET @publication = N'MyDB_merge'
SET @publicationDB = N'MyDB'
-- Remove the merge publication.
USE [MyDB]
EXEC sp_dropmergepublication @publication = @publication;
-- Remove replication objects from the database.
USE master
EXEC sp_replicationdboption
@dbname = @publicationDB,
@optname = N'merge publish',
@value = N'false'
GO
but seems to do nothing, how many time cost this operation?
MSSQL search something ?
There is a solution for remove rapidly a replication from my database.
Thank's a lot bye

I am working on bringing our disaster recovery site to be a live site. Currently we replicate to one of out servers (server B) with merge replication (from server A). Server A also does one way transactional replication form some table to several other servers including servers at the DR site.
This setup is not going to be fast enough for what we need so I am wondering if a table is receiving merge replication will the merge updates also replicate down the transaction path??
Example...
Server B update a row and merges to Server A. With this update them replicate (via transactional) to Server C??
thanks...
When i uninstall replication, it failed to remove completely. How do i remove them completely. so that make replication again
I would appriciate any help.

Problem: I have a user who wants to remove table, but when she tries to remove it ( drop the table), she gets an error:
===========================================================
MSG 3724, Level 16, State 2, Line 6: Cannot drop the table, 'dbo.<table name>' because it is being used for replication.
MSG 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 2
There is already an object named '<table name>' in the database.
============================================================
To investigate, I saw the following:
In the SSMS---> Replcation---> Local Publication--> [XYZ].Pub_XYZ
[SERVER Name].[XYZ_Replication]
                                               Â
Local Subscriptions:
[Reference DB].[ServerInstance].[Instance Name]:ABC.ABC_TO_XYZ.Reference DB).
How do I remove that table? Do I need to edit Replication? How? Which one?
I want to remove article from my Transactional replication, can I just simply uncheck it from GUI, or it requires anything else.

Hi I have a problem. I have a replicated database. Now I have a couple of tables within the database where I delete the content row by row and caluted the new record and insert them. Now when I do this on the development system that is unreplicate it is fine. However on production that is replicated I get this error:
System.Web.HttpUnhandledException: Exception of type System.Web.HttpUnhandledException was thrown. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VARLISTS_USERVARLISTS'. The conflict occurred in database 'BHP', table 'USERVARLISTS', column 'AutoID'.
INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VARLISTS_USERVARLISTS'. The conflict occurred in database 'BHP', table 'USERVARLISTS', column 'AutoID'.
INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_VARLISTS_USERVARLISTS'. The conflict occurred in database 'BHP', table 'USERVARLISTS', column 'AutoID'.
Now I persume this is caused by the foreign key being contrained by the replicated database. I had though about unticking the box 'Enforce Relationship for replication' but I am not sure what problems this may cause.
Woudl this fix my problem? If not do you have any idea what would.
Thanks Ed
One of our users tried to set replication solution in a sqlserver (the idea was given up).
SQL Server added in each table a column related to replication.
We want to remove theses columns and I used the following script :
select 'ALTER TABLE dbo.'+object_name(id)+' DROP CONSTRAINT '+object_name(constid)+' GO'
+'ALTER TABLE dbo.'+object_name(id)+' DROP COLUMN '+'msrepl_tran_version GO'
from sysconstraints where object_name(constid) like '%msrep%'
Question:
1. I want to know how to introduce a carraige return in order to have some thing like this :
...
ALTER TABLE dbo.T_CommandCopyFile
DROP CONSTRAINT DF__T_Command__msrep__44AB0736
GO
ALTER TABLE dbo.T_CommandCopyFile
DROP COLUMN msrepl_tran_version
...
2. Is there any other solution to do this more simply ?

We are runnning on SQL Server 2012 SP1 + CU9.
I have found some articles with no publication in our transactional replication.
For example, running this:
select p.publication,
a.publication_id,
a.article
from dbo.MSArticles as a
left outer join dbo.MSpublications as p
on a.publication_id = p.publication_id
shows this:
NULL1org_Community
NULL3org_Community
Purchasing to EDW5org_Community
NULL1org_Division
NULL3org_Division
Purchasing to EDW5org_Division
How can I get rid of the articles that are not part of a publication?
I can't use sp_droparticle because it requires a publication which these articles do not have.
