I am being told that the colid in syscolumns may not exceed 255 if the table is replicated. Is that true? Where in BOL or elsewhere can I read-up on this? This is a shocking development!!!
View 3 RepliesHi. I'm creating a new publication for replication. There are a few columns on our main database I do not want published as they contain some confidential information. When I go to create a new publication, I go through the wizard and I select the option to filter rows vertically. I uncheck the columns I don't want published and the wizard completes without any errors.
When I go to start the Snapshot agent to create the database on new server, it gets error saying it cannot find certain columns--the columns I do not want published to begin with.
Am i doing something wrong? I appreciate any help you may provide!
Thanks in advance. What is maximum SQL Server database (*.mdf) file size with SQL Server 2000 as part of Microsoft Small Business Server 2000? (Database files were limited to 10 GB in SBS 4.5 with SQLServer 7.0... has this changed?).

Two aplication dbs, each less than 2GB in size.Had a problem where we would run Solomon queries and what not againstthe box. It had 2GB RAM, and sqlserv.exe would take up to 1.85GB ofRAM, exhausting the physical RAM on the box. SQL would choke and theSolomon users would have problems, and I would have to restart the SQLservice.I added another GB of RAM, bringing the box to 3GB, and increased thepaging file. The OS sees it, and SQL sees it. I check EnterpriseManager, and tell SQL to dynamically configure memory, and it offers anupper limit of 3071MB, so it "sees" the 3GB.I can stress the box with queries to the point that sqlserv.exe takes1.99GB of memory (as viewed through Task Manager) and then SQL serverchokes. It never goes past 2GB, and the OS and box continue runningfine.Does SQL server 2000 have some upper limit, or do I just need to changesome setting through EM?Thanks.

On the MS website (at this URL: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/evaluation/overview/default.asp) it says that the Standard edition of SQL Server 2000 has a database size limit of 1,048,516 terabytes.
Talking to a friend, he tells me this is not true, and that it has a database size limit of 12gb.
Is Microsofts site incorrect, or is my friend lost?
Cheers! :-)
Has anybody encountered a physical size limit for a sql server 2000 transaction log running on win2k?
Transaction log reached ~6Gb before rolling back the delete stating transaction log was full. There was 42Gb free on the server and the log was set to unlimited growth.
Hi All,
We have installed Two SQL 2000 servers.
DB1 (main database) configured as a distributor and
publishers and DB2 configured as a subscriber (backup
database). The procedures I did the replication:
1. full backup the whole database said "test" on DB1
server.
2. Create a new database "test" on DB2 server
3. restore the full backed up database to "test" database
on DB2
4. create transactional publishes (select all tables) on
DB1 and "push" the articles to DB2
The results of replication monitor for replication all
database's table:
1. sanpshot suceeded A snapshot of 100 articles was generated.
2. LogReader Idle No replication are available.
3. DB2:TEST Failed Invalid column name "TYPE"
If I only select saying 5 articles (tables) to replication
at the same database "TEST". That the result was
successful without any error.
Strange... the "TEST" database was restoring from the full
backup (latest data) of DB1. Suppose that all the tables'
column should be same. How come the error is "Invalid
column name TYPE" and number is "207"
By the way, some of "unpublished objects" including tables
couldn't be select for publishing which is default locked
by a "key with red cross". How can I release such tables
(articles) allow selecting for publishing
Any idea and help?!

I am about to start working on a project where I would be required todynamically create linked servers during the execution of anapplication. One of the requirements is for the Link Servers to becreated and dropped before and after the retrieval of the data. Myquestion is about any type of cap on the number of linked servers SQLServer 2000 can have registered at any single time. If I find out thatthere is some type of cap, I would need to look into another way todeal with my linked server needs. Thanks for any help/information youmight be able to provide.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was asked if there was a limit on the amount of clock time that the Replication agents may be down without snapshotting the subscribers. I think that the only factor is if the MSDB database contains the necessary data to feed a restarted Replication Agent.
Any comments?
Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of fields you can replicate from one table ??

Hi,
I am experiencing a wired problem withe merge replication and SQL 2000 SP4.
We had replication working for 4 years without a problem, one of the table that we replicate has been growing in columns, now it has 55 columns.
I have noticed a problem, when I update the last column on the table and waits for the change to be updated on the subscriber the change is not there. But if I replicate the first 40 columns it works.
Changes made:
1) Upgraded to SP4
2) Added some extra fields using sp_addreplcolumn
Is this a known bug? Any ideas?

i went through the documentation but i was not clear on following, here is the scenario :-
a Central server is having SQL Server 2000
3 Remote Locations :- Each having 4-5 no of computers, connected on a Lan, and on one of the machines MSDE 2000 will be running.
My Questions are :-
1. Can remote locations, update data locally and send changes (say in every one hour) to central server. If yes, then how ??
2. Same way they can receive updates from Central Server on whatever was updated on Centra Server or on the 3 remote locations. If yes, then How ??
any help will be highly appreciable.
I am working on a report split into 2 Excel spreadsheets because it is roughtly 350 columns wide. I know this exceeds the MS Access column limit, but is there a way to build this in a single table in SQL Server? If not, does anyone have any ideas.

I am looking for the MS SQL equivalent of MySQL LIMIT.
I know that the code in MySQL is
SELECT col_name FROM tbl_name LIMIT x,y
where x = the starting row and y = the offset
E.g. SELECT movie_name FROM my_movies LIMIT 10,5
This will give me the records from 11-15
I would like to know what is the MS SQL equivalent for the above?
Hello,
I have a select statement that looks like this:

How do I limit the decimal points in a computed column. SSE 2005 seems to override the precision and scale I set in either GUI or by creating the table by query.
Thanks in advance for helping.

Hi,
I have a flat file with hundreds of columns.
I set up a flat file conn mgr with the following settings:
format: delimited
text qualifier: "
header row delimiter: {LF}
row delimiter: {CR}{LF}
column delimiter: comma
Now, here's the problem. In the preview screen, it shows only up to column 518 correctly. In column 519, it shows the remaining hundreds of columns all glommed together as one big string, like: "data", 123, 10/17/2007, "more data", etc
Anyways, I am wondering what to do about this?
When I attempt to run the data flow I get this error:
[Flat File Source [1]] Error: The column delimiter for column "Column 519" was not found.
However, the good news is that I only need the first 9 columns of the file. Some preprocessing in order, maybe?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am in between of analysis for Upgradation of SQL server 7.0 to SQL server 2000.
I have few server on SQl server 7.0
I wanted to know , is the replication supported between SQL server 7.0 and SQL server 2000.
a ) from SQl server 2000 to SQL server 7.0
and
b ) from SQL server 7.0 to SQL server 2000.
Both this scenarios will exist.

Hello,
I am using MSDE 2000 for replication of my Data. I have one publisher and two subscribers. but i need t filter rows for publications. Problem is that for filtering, i need host_name and in push replication host_name is name of system in which Agents are running but in MSDE all agents are running in publisher system ( distributor System). so everytime for any publication i get only id of server.
i am facing same problem in pull replication also.
Regards,
Any suggestions on how to replicate from AS/400 to SQL Server 2000?
Data is stored on a AS/400, but applications use a SQL Server 2000 DB. Currently, DTS packages drop the SQL DB, rebuild the tables from a script, copy the data, and then rebuild the indexes as a nightly batch job. Is there a better way to do this? Also is there a clean way to replicate daily transactions as well?
Hi
I'm trying to determine if it is possible to do many to many replication in sql server 2000.
What i basically want is to have n databases share the same basedate (share a common database) and allow updates in any database to be replicated to all the other databases (with a simple conflict resolution, like last update wins).
My goal is total autonomy, without a single point of failure. If any node goes down, the other nodes will continue to work and continue to replicate their data to the remaining nodes. When a node comes back up it will catch up with the over nodes (or get reinitialized if it was a serious crash).
The amount of data i want to replicate is not that big (less than 100MB) and does not change that often. All servers are sql server 2000 instances connected by a gigabit network and the number of nodes involved is less than 10. Some latency is also acceptable.
the question is: is this at all possible? I have read i bit in 'SQL Server High Availability By Paul Bertucci' and some other resources and it looks like a multiple publishers or multiple subscribers with merge replication setup should work, but i'm not too sure if it will work for n > 2 nodes (where all nodes publish and subscribe to each other) and it also mentions constraints on which data a given node is allowed to update (i hope this could be handled by simple conflict resolution).
And if it is not possible in 2000, could it be accomplished en 2005?
TIA Jens

Hai Every one
i am facing a werid problem it is related to storing a long text data in SQL 2000 the text data is some thing like the following
"dshjfsjlksdjakdjlksadjfeidkadflkdsajfieawirfjalkdfjsakdfjaiekdvnmckaumnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmoadifdjsakdjfauiereoweiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidalfkjdsa,mlfdsdflvmsaldifsdjfskladfakdfjakladkalfkfadkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkadlkfjaidfajfkamcmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmiadlmfalierfmaerjeaiaelelllllllllllllllllllll..."
in short it is really long so i opted to go with TEXT data type as it states that it can store more than 8 kb but when i try to insert this data it gives me error stating that Text data type cannot be of length more than 128...........?
What am i doing wrong........if Text is not the proper datatype to store such a data then can anyone suggest some thing better...............
Thanks in advance

Morning Guys,
If one was preparing to Replicate a database and need to know how much more size would be needed to accomadate the distribution database and its transaction logs etc... what performance counters would you set to gather this information and or tools...?
How to go about finding the average tranaction size.... number of transactions per day.... via profiler.... perfmon....
any suggestions or good sites for replication would be greatly appreciated...
thanks,

Hello
I am facing a very severe problem in SQL Server 2000 replication and here's the description :
I had setup a replication having Publisher and distribution on the same server. Later I found out that the Subscriber database was incorrect and so I dropped the replication and then disabled it so as to start from fresh.
Now as soon as I start to configure the Publisher/Distributor I get the following error message :
"Error 18483 Could not Connect to ABC Server because distributor_admin is not defined as a remote login at the Server "
Please let me know what can be done to resolve this issue
Please help me to resolve this issue as we need to have the replication latest by Sunday 4/21/2002
Thanks again
Hi all,
I'm trying to configure replication between a Sybase ASE Database Server and SQL Server 2000. Sybase ASE Database will be the Publisher and SQL Server will be the Subscriber. Can anyone advise me on how I can go about setting up the replication for this?

Hi,
I have set up transactional replication on two servers. The productionserver (PSERV) and a backup server (BSERV).
On PSERV I have started the agents Snapshot (running with status Succeeded) and Log Reader.(running with status Idle and the message "No replicated transactions are available").
On BSERV I choose start syncronization on my subscription. When I go into Job history I can find the following information on four lines:
The job failed. The Job was invoked by User SERVAdministrator. The last step to run was step 1 (Run agent.).
The subscription to publication '(null)' has expired and does not exist. The step failed.
Connecting to Distributor 'SERVP'
Connecting to Subscriber 'SERVB'
Anyone that have any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
Best
