Apr 10, 2007A 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

ALTER DATABASE With Table Partitioning
Jan 15, 2007Conrad writes "I'm currently working on Table Partitioning. I have done everything succesfull for partitioning, what I'm struggling with is to use

Move Replicated Database
Sep 2, 2005Hi,
We have to move two of our servers in US hosting SQL Server 2000 database to different location. These servers are clustered using MSCS and uses SAN to store database data. The database on this cluster hosts publisher and distributor. The other two sites in Europe host updateable subscribers. We are using transactional replication. The downtime will be around 24 hours during which servers will be physically moved from one location to other. During this time we will keep the two subscribers running and let the changes queued on subscribers. I have listed following steps based on my limited knowledge of SQL Server. Could somebody please advise if this approach is valid and if I have missed any steps?
1. Make sure no users are accessing database
2. Backup database (In case of emergency need)
3. Stop snapshot, Log Reader, Queue Reader and Distributor Agents
4. Stop SQL Server Service and SQL Agent
5. Take OS backup
5. Shutdown the server
6. Ship the servers and OS backup to new location
7. Setup servers at new location and restore OS backup
8. Start SQL Server Service and SQL Agent
9. Start agents listed in step 3

How To Move Replicated Database?
May 8, 2006I got Server A with 30 Databases and I was asked to move 30 databases to Server B…
But server A is having 2 databases as Publication and Distribution to two different servers….. and Server A is a subscription for 6 Databases from other servers….
Once I move the databases from Server A to Server B…… what is the best way to get the Replications too…. I mean Server B should have 2 Db’s as Pub & Distr and 6 Db’s as Subscription…
Is there any way I can script it out in Server A and run the same script in Server B with some modification…. so that the Replication work…..??
I have Jobs and Maintenance plans…. Which should also move from Server A to Server B…. I know using DTS...... is there any better way..??
Please some one give me ur suggestion on this…
Thanks

Computed Column In A Replicated Table
Apr 10, 2015I have a strange problem. I have a computed column in a replicated table, the Formula is as follows:
(isnull(hashbytes('SHA2_256',CONVERT([varchar](256),[AccrualReference],(0))),(0))) the column is also Persisted.
This gets around a case sensitivity issue and is used as the Primary Key column, which works well.The problem is that this table is then replicated to another server. On the subscriber the value of this computed field is being returned as 0x00000000 for every row, so this must be the ISNULL function doing its job. But why? The AccrualReference is the true PrimaryKey and is never NULL.
If I remove the computed specification and set the field up as varbinary(64) the value then gets replicated. This then means maintaining a different table schema for in excess of 500 tables.

Backup/Restore For Replicated Database
Jul 5, 2006Hi, I have setup a merged replication on two server. Server A contains the Publisher and the Distributor database and Server B contains Subscriber.
If the database at the Subscriber got corrupted. I am thinking maybe i can 'restore' the subscriber database by resynchronising the data from the publisher to subscriber.
But what happen if the Publisher database failed? How should one restore the publisher database and then restore the replication setup?
What will be a good backup/restore strategy for such a setup?
Remove Primary Key On Replicated Database
Jul 31, 2006I have a table that was set up with a primary key - that i need to change. The problem is that the database is being replicated to a remote location, and will not allow me to remove or change the primary key on a published database.
Due to the size of the database and bandwith limitations it is not an option to re-initialise the published database.
Is there any to do this without breaking replication

Disk Configuration For Replicated Database
Jan 25, 2008We are going to implement either a replicated database or use log shipping to another database to support our reporting needs. Basically we are moving reporting over data off our transactional database.
With this in mind, I have several questions:
Are there any special configurations in terms of disks for a database in this situation?What are the recommended raid types?
Also, we currently store our data in one filegroup and indexes in another so obviously I'll want those on 2 separate physical disks other than the C:. What about the log files? Do I care where they go (on C: or another physical drive separate from C:, data filegroup drive and index filegroup drive)?
Thanks!

Adding A Not Null Column To Replicated Table
Apr 23, 2007Hi,
I'm merge replicating a SQL Server 2005 database (publisher) to SQL Compact databases (subscribers) on mobile devices. I understood that I could add a "not null" column to a replicated table on the server as long as I specified a default value, but it seems this is not possible. I ran the following script on the server database:
ALTER TABLE Activity ADD ActivityRequiresProject bit not null default(0)
which executed OK. When I went to synchronize the db on the mobile device I got the following error:
Alter table only allows columns to be added which can contain null values. The column cannot be added to the table because it does not allow null values.
The SQL statement failed to execute. If this occurred while using merge replication, this is an internal error. If this occurred while using RDA, then the SQL statement is invalid either on the PULL statement or on the SubmitSQL statement. [ SQL statement = alter table "Activity" add "ActivityRequiresProject" bit not NULL constraint "DF__Activity__Activi__4A47DDAE" default ( ( 0 ) ) ]
Does anyone know if this is a valid error? Is is possible to add a not null column with default, and if not how do I update the schema on a replicated database?
Regards,
Greg
