Changing The DATATYPE Of A PUBLISHED COLUMN
Oct 27, 2003
Hi guys,
Is there any way or method to CHANGE the DATATYPE of a column in a published table being used for transactional replication (MSSQL 2000), WITHOUT DROPPING THE SUBSCRIPTION ????
Im stuck in this mess and do have the option to drop the subscription, alter the table, create the subscription and rerun the snapshot or to recreate it by Manual Synchronisation either.
Can anyone help? Has anyone been across this dilemma before and have troubleshooted the problem? If yes, help is much appreciated.
MY PROBLEM:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'MyTable' is currently being published and has subscriptions to it. The PRIMARY KEY column 'id' has an Identity property as well. 'id' is of datatype smallint, however because of bad planning, i now need to change that datatype to an integer to support a larger range WITHOUT DROPPING SUBSCRIPTIONS.
I CANT DROP THE COLUMN EITHER AS IT IS BEING THE PRIMARY KEY COLUMN.
IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY I CAN DO TO ARCHIEVE MY GOAL? THANKYOU.

I am trying to make the following update: All the columns are fine except for the 'name' column. datatype for 'name' column in the target table is varchar(30) and the datatype for 'name' in the sourcetable is varchar(40), I cannot change the datatype of the column 'name' to varchar(40) because I am told it may affect performance. what I want to do is just update the first 'name' column of the target table by the first 30 characters of the source table column 'name'
I am using the following query, is it possible to do it or are there any other ways I can update the column without changing the datatype?
MERGE INTO [S].[dbo].[AF_Copy] AS TargetTable
USING (SELECT source_code, name, addr1, city, zip FROM
[D].[D_TEST].[dbo].[SO_Copy]) AS SourceTable
ON ([TargetTable].[Code] = [SourceTable].[source_code])
[code]...

Hi
Using merge replication - the stored procs are published articles.
When trying to change the article at the subscriber (sql express) I get the following errors:
Msg 21531, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_alterschemaonly, Line 45
The DDL statement cannot be performed at the Subscriber or Republisher.
Msg 21530, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_ddldispatcher, Line 181
The DDL operation failed inside merge DDL replication manipulation.
Msg 3609, Level 16, State 2, Procedure usp_Anniversary_upd, Line 21
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
Does this mean it can only be changed at the publisher ?

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 ,

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 all,I need to change a varchar from 35 to 50. In the SQL Server books online it says that SQL Server actually creates a new table when youchange the length. I ran a test in a test database and it appears theonly thing that changes is the length. All the data remains in tact.The table with the column I want to modify is very critical. Is thereany chance I would loose data if I change the length to a larger size? Iam making a back up of the table just in case. Thanks,Kelly

Changing datatype in a table used for merge replication ?
I'm trying to change the data type on a column in a table that is used for a merge-replication with another (identical) DB.
I get this error:
Cannot alter the table '[Tablename]' because it is being published for replication.
I've tried to remove that specific table from the publication (Publication properties -> Articles tab) so I can change the data type and then put the table back into the publication, but I can't (probably because it's a MERGE rep.)
Any ideas ?

Is there a way to strip off the time portion of a datetime datatype without changing the datatype?
I know I can convert it using CONVERT (NVARCHAR(10), dbo.tblPayments.PaymentDate, 101) but I need to keep it as a datetime datatype?

Here is the issue. I have ReadOnly Access to a database. All of the Columns are set to NVARCHAR(1000) by default. I cannot change them. I want to load the DataSet into memory and change the DataType of the columns from NVARCHAR(1000) to INT(4). The data is in integer (i.e. 4,5,123) format (but stored as a string), but is coming across as strings. The charting software I am using won't implicitly convert these Strings to Int or Double. How can I change an entire column to Int?

Usually all the user datatypes in our databases have the owner dbo.
One has a few that are owned by a user with dbo rights. I am trying to change them to dbo owner.
Sp_changeobjectowner gives 'object does not exist'

Hello,How do I change the datatype of a column in a CSV file. Preferably in the select statement (apparently Cast, Convert, & Replace functions don't work when selecting from a CSV). I have a page where users upload their CSV files to and then I use SQLBulkCopy to insert all the records into my sql table. The problem is with columns of money data. EX: "$2,000" >> 2000The CSV file interprets the "$2,000" as a string of text. How do I convert it to a decimal so I can insert it into my sql database?

Hello. I using a simply SELECT statement to retrieve some data from aSQL SERVER via an ODBC connection. I had to go from VARCHAR to TEXTbecause the amount of data. Anyway, my SQL statements worked just finewhen I was using VARCHAR, but now since I am using TEXT, I am onlyreceiving part of the content back. Do I have to do some sort ofspecial Casting or something if I want to get all the content back?It's over 8,000 characters. Thank you very much. I have racking mybrain on this for a while.

Here is my expression in a derived component:
"Failed insert into PONL_WELL. WELL_NO=" + (DT_WSTR,10)PROP_NO
PROP_NO comes from ms sql server , and the derived component datatype for this column is DT_WSTR.
The destination will be ms sql server, and i have a data conversion after the derived component to cast from DT_WSTR to DT_STR.
However, the derived component failed everytime giving me
Error: 0xC0049064 at Load Ponl_Well, Derived Column [1342]: An error occurred while attempting to perform a type cast.
Anyone know how i can eliminate the data conversion component and just do my string and column concatenation in the derived column and have it output as DT_STR?

1) it is in the same filegroup as the rest of the table?
2) it is stored in a filegroup separately from the rest of the table (I think this is allowed)?

Hello,
I'm having trouble extracting the datetime value of a datacolumn in order to compare it's value to another datetime. The error I get is "unable to cast object of type System.Data.DataColumn to type System.DateTime. I'm sure I'm just missing a step or a cast, but nothing has worked. I hope someone can help!
Here's the code:
protected void ddlRooms_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlCommand cmd;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["EventBookingConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
SqlDataAdapter da;
DataSet ds;
try
{
cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT Events.ID as 'Event ID', Name as 'Event Name', Rooms.Room as 'Event Room', AttendeeList as 'Attendee List', EventDate as 'Event Date' from Events INNER JOIN Rooms on Events.Room=Rooms.ID";
ds = new DataSet();
da = new SqlDataAdapter();
da.SelectCommand = cmd;
da.Fill(ds, "BookedRooms");
if (ds.Tables["BookedRooms"].Columns["Event Room"] != null)
{
foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
string room = (string)row["Event Room"];
if (ddlRooms.SelectedItem.ToString() == room)
{
System.DateTime date = (System.DateTime)ds.Tables[0].Columns["Event Date"]; //HERE'S WHERE THE ERROR OCCURS
if (Calendar1.SelectedDate == date)
{
lblBookedRooms.Visible = true;
lblBookedRooms.Text = "I'm sorry, that room is booked for that day.<br />Please choose another day or a different room.";
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
lblResults.Text = ex.Message;
}
}
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help out!
