Hi guys,
If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time.
What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below:

I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE
ALTER COLUMN
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE
MODIFY

Hi,
I would like to know the procedure to be followed to add a table to the existing publication. The subcriber doesn't have the object yet. I have data in the source table and I want to add this table in a existing publication for transactional replication. Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a database with two publications, one for SQL CE Clients with filters that send each client its data and keeps it database with "low weight" filtering data not older than a week, and the other publications for SQL Servers.
The publication for SQL CE Clients works excelent, the other one has this problem:
In the publisher i can insert data that should be replicated to subscribers, but subscribers don't receive it. And if I try to insert both in the publisher and the subscriber, the subscriber throws a Primari Key exception.
In the other way, if i insert the data in the subscriber, when it synchronizes, the publisher pulls this data to the table and keeps it, but deletes the subscriber table due to a "conflict". And it never sends the data back to the subscriber, keeping the subscriber's table always clear.
Any Idea?
Thank you.

Hi,
I have created a publication for sql server 2005 Mobile Edition subscriber,
I need to add another Publication/merge replication on the same tables,
Scenario:
-Server A and mobile devices (publication for sql server 2005 Mobile Edition subscriber)
-The same Server A send data "1 way direction" to Server B by merge replication publication.
NB: My Tables are updatble in both publications.
Any idea?

Hello,
We are new to replication and are testing it in our development environment. We have a peer-to-peer transactional publication on our three servers. The single table in the original publication replicated fine to the two subscribing servers. We next added a new table (article) to the publication. Adding it to the original publication worked fine but the table did not replicate to the other servers. (We previously had changed the schema of the original table and the schema changes replicated properly.) We attempted to recreate the snapsnot using the "View Snapshot Agent Status" option. Clicking the Start button resulted in the display of this message: "[0%] A snapshot was not generated because no subscriptions needed initialization."
This seems odd because a new table was added to the publication and Microsoft help states that the snapshot must be rebuilt. I have read other topics that refer to a @immediate_sync property that must be set to zero. I'm not sure if this is our problem or even how to set this value. Meanwhile, the other servers, as viewed through the Replication Monitor, are complaining that their snapshots do not match the publication snapshot.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
BCB
Hello Everybody, If any one have solution then please help me.
Thanks in Advance.
I do the following steps:
I have created two publications on my SQL SERVER for merge replication
Publication A €“ which returns all rows from the Table1
Publication B €“ which returns all rows from the Table1 where the field MANAGER =€™ABC€™
I have two clients who have MSDE
Client 1 is subscribed to Publication A and Client 2 is subscribed to Publication B
All works fine till now and I am able to make transfers from the two clients and get all the changed data
However, now If I change the filter rules for Publication B and set that it should return all rows from the Table1 where the field MANAGER = €˜DEF€™ , SQL Server tells me that I have to reinitialize all snapshots for all subscriptions. If I don€™t do this it doesn€™t allow me to make a transfer from my Client 1.
As you can see in my example I have not made any changes to Publication A to which Client 1 is subscribed. So this seems to be illogical.
In our case it would not be possible for us to reinitialize the subscriptions for all Publications when the rules for only one Publication are changed because we may have a lot of clients connected to our Server and if we reinitialize the subscription then all the data is sent again.
If anybody know that how to restrict the other publications re-initialization then please tell me how we can do.
Hi, everyone,
I am new in SQL server 2005. I had setup SQL server 2005 P2P replication. Somehow it did not work one of two way replication. I tried to delete the publication. However I could not do it. have the same problem. When I tried to delete the publication, I got the publication " " does not exist.[SQL server error: 20026]. I tried to use sp_droppublication, it gave me error "the database is not enabled for publication". Nevertheless, I can see the publication in MS SQL Management Studio and Publication monitor with OK status. I could not find the distribution database either.
Could you anyone has ideas to delete this publication? I am sorry I am not a programmer. Please give me more detail explanation if you can. Thanks.
I 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?
I have a table that is in a one way transactional publication. I need to create a full-text catalog on this table and have that catalog exist on the subscriber as well. I understand simply creating a FTC for an object in a publication will not cause that FTC to be replicated to the subscribers. I have scripted out the command and tried to use sp_addscriptexec to push it to the subscriber. When I do this, I get the following error:
Last 183 characters in 'sqlcmd' output buffer: Changed database context to 'database'.
Msg 574, Level 16, State 1, Server SQLSERVER, Line 2
CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG statement cannot be used inside a user transaction.
Also, when this script is run directly from the subscriber, it works fine (but since the subscriber is our production machine, I'd prefer to not have to do it that way). I believe I can reinitialize the publication and have the FTC pushed to the subscriber, but this is not ideal either, since some of our databases can be very large and take a long time to initialize.
Is there a better way to accomplishing this other then connecting directly to the subscriber and running the script or by reinitializing the publication? Thanks for your help!

I have created a table as below mentioned. Then I want to alter the ID column as identity(1,1) without dropping the table as well as losing the data.
create table dbo.IdentityTest

id int not null,
descript varchar(255) null,
T_date datetime not null
)
we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage"Â table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.

AGE INT
);
CREATE TABLE score(

SCORE INT,
FOREIGN KEY(ID) REFERENCES student(ID)

For the length of Column ID is not enough, So I want to alter its length.The alter statement is:
ALTER TABLE student ALTER COLUMN ID CHAR(20)
For the table student is referenced by table score, the alter statement can not alter the column of the table student, and the SQL Server DBMS give the errors.
But, I can manually alter the length of the column ID in SQL SERVER Management Studio. How to alter column length of the master table(student) along with the slave table(score)?
Thanks!

View 1 Replies View RelatedA customer wants to implement table partitioning on a replicated table.
They want to hold 13 months of data in the table and roll off the earliest/oldest month to an identical archive table. The table has a date field and partitioning by month makes sense all around.
So SWITCH PARTITION is the obvious solution to this, except for the fact that the table is replicated (transactional w/no subscriber updates).
What are his architectural or practical solutions to using table partitioning and replication?
thx

I have a table tblABC which exists in 800 databases. I want to run a cursor to turn off the pk field ID indentity permannetly and then to "insert tblABC select * from tblXYZ".
I have tried the "set indentity_insert tblABC on" statement and failed on insert tblABC select * from tblXYZ.
Is there any alter table related t-sql could permannetly turn off the identity?

Is there anyway to Insert a new column between two existing columns without creating a new table?

Hi,
is it possible to override the system when adjusting
columns. i.e. a system override setting.
For instance if I've got a column that is indexed and I
want to adjust it from varchar(50) to varchar(51) it lets
me. But if I then try and adjust the column to varchar
(49) I get the error below:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 8, Line 1
The index 'LastName' is dependent on column 'lastname'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN lastname failed because one or
more objects access this column.
I asked this question on another Forum and was told I had to drop the index first. Just thought I'd ask for a second opinion.
Thanks for the help.

Hi to all!
I have a silly problem, but I'm not able to solve it!
I know how to add a field in a table via Enterprise manager and I know also via ALTER TABLE command.
...But the problem is: I want to add a field NOT in the last position, but on the middle (for istance)
So, this is possible via Enterprise Manager but with the ALTER TABLE command? How can I add a field without put it in the last position?
...Thanks a lot!

p.s.: Sorry for my poor english..I hope you understand my question!
hello,
i am trying to add a column to every table in a database, if it (doesn't already exist), with the following code:
declare @name varchar(50)
declare c cursor for select name from sys.tables
open c
fetch next from c into @name
while @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
if( (select count(*) from sys.columns
WHERE object_id IN (SELECT object_id FROM sys.tables WHERE name = @name )
and name='ins_id') = 0 )
begin
alter table @name add ins_id int
end
fetch next from c into @name
end
close c
deallocate c
and when i run the script i get the error message
Incorrect syntax near '@name'.
reffering to the alter table statement
So, my question is, how can i actually perform the alter table in this case?
thank you

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to insert some new rows in the table tbl_3, but the problem is that I don't know how to go along with the ID column. I want to insert new rows so that it gets appended at the end and new ID is automatically generated.
Looks like this had to be done while creating the table. The original table has the id assigned as 'Identity', but I have imported this table to my database and now it does not show that property in the ID column.
The Insert code that I am using is as follows and the tbl_3 has same no. of columns except it also has id.
Can I alter table without touching the previous IDs? The ids start at 28118 and ends at 28300.
