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 ***

I need some help with Merge Replication. After successfully defining a publisher, distributor and subscriber to perform merge replication, we decided to test Merge Replication to see what we can and can't do.
What we found is that you can't add new fields or change the nullable/null attributes of tables whilst the replication settings are still defined to the databases. ie you get the following error
'tblProducts' table
- Unable to modify table.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot drop the table 'dbo.tblProducts' because it is published for replication.
So we thought, fair enough. We decided to uninstall replication using the wizards provided to see whether we can make schema changes. What we found is that we can make schema changes to the publisher database(on Server1), BUT not to the subscriber (Server2).
Does anyone know why? We are running SQL7 SP2.

Dear friends
I restore one database in two database servers which is running on SQL server 2000.I replicated these two through snapshot relication.Snapshot agent is creating snapshot.But when I am starting to synchronize it's telling can't drop table because that table is in replication. Backup I taken from a replicated database.so it's having rowguid both the servers.Another thing the table which it is telling not able to drop it's having primary key.please tell me what may be the problem.In replication why it is going to drop table it's only what to transport data na

Hi,
I tried with success to replicate a table_test_repl from my local server to an other server.
I used only one table for testing.
After that, i can't drop the 2 tables a_test_repl (on my local server and the other : I've got a message 'cannot drop the table because it is published for replication'
What can I do? I need absolutely to drop these tables to keep a clean model
and I can't drop the database and try again.
Thanks to your answers

The error message is "cannot drop the table because it is being used for replication"
my sql version is in sql server 2012 and Im ussing merge replication.
I want to drop only one table.
This thread is no longer active. I moved issue to a new, cleaner thread named: How can I get Transactional Republishing to work?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've tried for more than a week to figure this one out, but have not found a solution. I'm missing some critical information that perhaps someone can share. I'm desperate and embarassed that this has kept me stuck for so long. Thanks for any assistance.
In my simplist scenario, I'm transactionally replicating a single table from database A to database B and then from database B to database C. All databases are on the same XP server (in this simplist version of the problem). This is SQL 2005 RTM. Publication A to B replicates fine. Publication B to C can't even get the snapshot to work because I get the error:
Command attempted:
drop Table "dbo"."MyReplTable"
(Transaction sequence number: 0x00004174000000E100A300000000, Command ID: 41)
Error messages:
Cannot drop the table 'dbo.MyReplTable' because it is being used for replication. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 3724) Get help: http://help/3724 (fyi - there is no help here)
I have a simple example script where I've renamed real names to fake names, that is exactly what I run to simulate the problem. Obviously the script is wrong, but where? I used the wizard to create the whole script (I know that is my first mistake ;-) ). After I start the snapshot jobs, I get the error above.
I presume that the sp_addarticle option @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop' is part of the problem. I don't have row filters. Also, I want to be able to replicate schema modifications when necessary (like add a column or drop a column)
Perhaps the sp_addpublication @repl_freq = N'continuous' option in the AtoB publication prevents the BtoC publication from ever getting a chance to do anything, if it never lets go of the table.
If it helps, here is my script with hopefully helpfully renamed objects. My real world scenario has many articles, but this is a simple version - 2 publications each having 1 article (the same table).

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.
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 ,

View 0 Replies View RelatedHi,I have transactional replication set up on on of our MS SQL 2000 (SP4)Std Edition database serverBecause of an unfortunate scenario, I had to restore one of thepublication databases. I scripted the replication module and droppedthe publication first. Then did a full restore.When I try to set up the replication thru the script, it created thepublication with the following error messageServer: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 5, Procedure SYNC_FCR ToGPRPTS_GL00100, Line 1There is already an object named 'SYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100' in thedatabase.It seems the previous replication has set up these system viewsSYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100. And I have tried dropping the replicationmodule again to see if it drops the views but it didn't.The replication fails with some wired error & complains about thisviews when I try to run the synch..I even tried running the sp_removedbreplication to drop thereplication module, but the views do not seem to disappear.My question is how do I remove these system views or how do I make thereplication work without using these views or create new views.. Whyis this creating those system views in the first place?I would appreciate if anyone can help me fix this issue. Please feelfree to let me know if any additional information or scripts needed.Thanks in advance..Regards,Aravin Rajendra.

Hi,
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,

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.
I am executing sp_dropmergesubscription, but the rows are still in dbo.msmerge_subscriptions, and are still shown in the replication monitor as expired; the last synch dates were in april (expiration is set to 10 days). The 'expired subscription clean up' job appears to be running okay. I need to remove these subscriptions from the publisher as the subscribers are mobile devices, which sometimes are lost.
Good day!
I am getting a bizard error here...
I am trying to drop replication off a database, and funny enough went trough all the steps and I am still getting the error when I try to Disable publishing.

Any ideas?
For reasons that are not relevant (though I explain them below *), Iwant, for all my users whatever privelige level, an SP which createsand inserts into a temporary table and then another SP which reads anddrops the same temporary table.My users are not able to create dbo tables (eg dbo.tblTest), but arepermitted to create tables under their own user (eg MyUser.tblTest). Ihave found that I can achieve my aim by using code like this . . .SET @SQL = 'CREATE TABLE ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstIDDATETIME)'EXEC (@SQL)SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO ' + @MyUserName + '.' + 'tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())'EXEC (@SQL)This becomes exceptionally cumbersome for the complex INSERT & SELECTcode. I'm looking for a simpler way.Simplified down, I am looking for something like this . . .CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestInsert ASCREATE TABLE tblTest(tstID DATETIME)INSERT INTO tblTest(tstID) VALUES(GETDATE())GOCREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestSelect ASSELECT * FROM tblTestDROP TABLE tblTestIn the above example, if the SPs are owned by dbo (as above), CREATETABLE & DROP TABLE use MyUser.tblTest while INSERT & SELECT usedbo.tblTest.If the SPs are owned by the user (eg MyUser.TestInsert), it workscorrectly (MyUser.tblTest is used throughout) but I would have to havea pair of SPs for each user.* I have MS Access ADP front end linked to a SQL Server database. Forreports with complex datasets, it times out. Therefore it suit mypurposes to create a temporary table first and then to open the reportbased on that temporary table.

I'm in a middle of a project where replication established between Oracle 8i and SQL server 2005. Now we need to drop one column from on of the tables replicated from Oracle side. My question : Is there anyway I can do this in Oracle and automatically reflected on SQL server? If not what is the proper steps to do it. Realy appreciate your fast response.

which one is smarter, where there is no indexing on the table which is really simple table delete everything or recreate table. I got an argument with one of my coworker. He says it doesnt matter i say do delete. Any opinions.

hi everyone,
I have a couple questions. I'm very new to SQL and I have this problem:
I need to be able to drop the contents of Existingtable_B into Newtable_A - I found this command (below) that will make a 'copy' but I don't want to keep the contents of Existingtable_B. Is it possible to drop them into Newtable_A instead of copy? Also, I want to do this for 5 tables on Sundays at midnight.. how could I schedule that? Finally, what happens if there is not enough space or some other critical error happens during this procedure? I don't want to lose the data.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I tried the following but it did not work, so help would be appreciated.
if object_id('tempdb..#temp_table') is not nulldrop table #temp_table
We have a table created by an application, and a view that joins the table with other tables.
For some reason we are now unable to drop the table or the view. In Enterprise Manager the drop table dialog comes up, we click 'Drop All' and then the hour glass comes up and never goes away. No errors are returned, the process just never returns control to the client, the same when trying to remove the view. Using Query Analyzer is no different.
However stopping and starting the server resolves the problem for a while, but eventually the same problem starts happening. The table is created, populated and dropped using stored procedures called from a web page via asp script. This process may occur numerous times and hasn't been a problem until the last day or so when the developer added a couple of smallint columns to the table.
Anyone know what could be the problem here?
