Cannot Alter Table Being Published For Replication
Jun 8, 2006
Hi all,
I'm using SQL Server 2000 SP3 to store data for real time transaction
processing.
I have set up replication to another server using a push subscription to
give me immediate backup.
I need to alter the data type of one of the columns and am using the
following basic sql:
alter table Voucher
alter column SerialNumber varchar(20) NOT NULL
However I keep getting this error message:
Server: Msg 4929, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot alter the table 'Terminals' because it is being published for
replication.
Is there anything I can do to allow this update taking place, short of
deleting the subscription and recreating it. (I want to try and avoid
this as the same update needs to be applied to about 10 databases that
are also replicated in the same way).
All help is appreciated.
Brian.

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
Dom

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?

Hi There
I am using transactional replication in 2005.
I am used to 2000 where if a column was added or changed to had to use sp's to do this and for altering a column you had to drop the subscription change and add back etc.
With 2005 is this fully handled by ALTER TABLE, can i safely make any meta data changes to an article with ALTER TABLE and the changes will progate to subscribers no problem.
Or are there limitations are there certain changes to articles that must still be done through sp's?
Thanx

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! 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.

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,
Justin

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 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:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
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
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;

Background - I have a publication that propigates schema changes. I have a view in which I want to remove a column.
Error - Going by what the BOL says, I use Alter View and delete the column from my select statement. I issue the alter view command against the Publication database and it just "churns". I do not get any locking errors or any other type of error, but the statement never completes execution. I watched it run for 10 minutes and cancelled the query. Executing the same statement against a copy of the database that is not being published executes in 1, 2 seconds.
Here is what I am doing:
Old View: Select table1.record_number, table1.record_date, table1.status_code, table2.status_desc,
table2.txt_sort_order
FROM table1 join table2 on table1.status_code = table2.status_code
The query I am executing:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER VIEW myview
AS
Select table1.record_number, table1.record_date, table1.status_code, table2.status_desc
FROM table1 join table2 on table1.status_code = table2.status_code

I have contract table which has built in foreign key constrains. How can I alter this table for delete/ update cascade without recreating the table so whenever studentId/ contactId is modified, the change is effected to the contract table.
Thanks

In SQL Server 2005,here are two tables, created by the following SQL Statements:
CREATE TABLE student(
ID CHAR(6) PRIMARY KEY,
NAME VARCHAR(10),
AGE INT
);
CREATE TABLE score(
ID CHAR(6) PRIMARY KEY,
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!

A 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

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!
Sergio
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

I used the MS Access 2000 Upsize wizard to create a Client/serverapplication. After the wizard ran, the original table names had becomethe linked tables and then there were duplicates of the the tablesnamed xxx_local.I realized later that I needed to add some fields to a table andcouldn't do that in Access (couldn't edit the linked tables). So I usedthe Query Analyzer and created a script to add the fields to my table.It looked fine in Query Analyzer, but back in Access the fields wereadded to xxx_local and not xxx, the linked table. My forms and reportsare built on xxx, not xxx_local.How do I do this correctly?Jane
