I need to drop and recreate few subscriptions in transactional publication Do I need to worry about log marker issues ? Do I need to set the primary and replicate databases in 'DBO use only'
The Primary and Replicate databases are being accessed all the time.
I have come across a user that has error 2525 errors on sysobjects tables throughout their SQL 6.5 system. The ids match and I can identify the index. But as they are system tables I cannot drop or rebuild the indexes.
Any ideas please?
The errors have been occuring for some time, so it is not an option to restore. I would like to avoid having to transfer data to and from another SQL Server.
Hello, I need to retrieve all the information about all the foreign key constraints,inorder to store them temporarily (to be deleted later)and then recreated after making the necessary modifications to the concerned tables. The stored proc sp_helpconstraint shows all the constraint types, their user-defined or system-supplied name, the columns on which they have been defined, and the expression that defines them.But I don't know whether it can be manipulated to get what I want.I need to get it done programmatically..so that I can integrate it in my program which I'm building up progressively. Any help or scripts would be appreciated!
I have found an (encrypted) SP which takes ~20 seconds to run on one of our client DBs.
If I drop and recreate (or alter) the SP giving it the same contents it will run in ~1 second.
I need to know 1. why the sp started running so slowly 2. how to stop it happening again 3. how to fix it without resorting to drop/recreate (I can't exactly write a batch script to recreate all our sps every so often)
I have tried sp_updatestats and sp_recompile before running the sp to no avail...
I have two tables Person & Location where Location has a primary key LocationId and Person has a foreign key LocationId.
Sometime ago I used the Database Diagrams visual tool of SQL Server Management Studio Express to create the foreign key relationship between the two tables - i.e. "visually" (drawing a line between the PK & FK LocationId elements of both tables).
Time has passed and I recently noticed that, upon retrieving my saved diagram, the foreign key relationship had "fallen off" (i.e. the many-to-one line was no longer showing in the diagram).
After recreating the relationship (redrawing the line) I find that I get an error message when I try to save the diagram:
Post-Save Notifications [!] Errors were encountered during the save process. Some database objects were not saved.
'Location' table saved successfully 'Person' table - Unable to create relationship 'FK_Person_Location'. The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_Person_Location". The conflict occurred in database "mydb", table "dbo.Location", column 'LocationId'.
When I go back to the object explorer and view the dependencies for the two tables, there is no dependency (between these two tables) revealed. When I try to create the foreign key constraint manually (T-SQL) it again says can't add the constraint. It comes up with an error as follows:
ALTER TABLE Person ADD FOREIGN KEY (LocationId) REFERENCES Location (LocationId)
Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 2 The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK__Person__LocationId__793DFFAF". The conflict occurred in database "mydb", table "dbo.Location", column 'LocationId'.
(Note: Each time I do this, the 8 hexadecimal character suffix changes.)
When I try to drop the foreign key:
alter table Person drop constraint FK__Person__LocationId
it comes back with the error:
Msg 3728, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 'FK__Person__LocationId' is not a constraint. Msg 3727, Level 16, State 0, Line 2 Could not drop constraint. See previous errors.
So it seems that there's some kind of goof up here. Can anybody shed light on this / tell me how to fix it?
NOTE: Excel 07' is installed on my machine, but saved file as Excel 97-03
SSIS package- -Execute sql task with sql statement that drops table (drop table [sheet1]) -Execute sql task with sql statement to create table -Data flow task to send some rows to excel sheet
Running this package over and over will keep appending rows to the excel sheet. Upon further examination I'm noticing that the drop table excecute sql task is only deleting the header record. I know this used to work when I only had the previous version of excel installed on my machine.
Any ideas? Is this a problem when working with Excel 2007 in compatibility mode? I'm about to just delete the file altogether and re-create it.
I want to drop table and then recreate. It's referenced by many table and I dont want to drop all constraints referencing to it. Is there any feature like "switch off/on constraints" in MSSQL?(6.5)
Hi,I found this SQL in the news group to drop indexs in a table.

I have different versions of essentially the same database on two different computers. From Computer B I need to copy one table AND its data to Computer A.
I've read several articles and have tried several things but can't figure out how to do it. Incidentally, I'm running SQL Server Express 2005 on both machines.
The only way the job success is if I select the option add rows wich is copying all rows even the ones that are already there, I tried to drop amd recreate the table option but i just dosn't run that way, help please..
I am splitting data from SQL table and sending it to excel file but everytime i rerun the package ,it appends the existing data in excel file ..I tried using execute sql task with excel connection and write drop table `tablename` and then one more execute sql task with create table `tablename` (`Id` int ,`fname` varchar(100)) ....But it does not seem to work.
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.
We have hidden few measure groups in cube for time being, where Users can browse the cube with Excel pivot. But, All these measures can be seen from Excel pivot in 'Show fields related to' drop down.
Need to remove the hidden measure groups from showing in Excel pivot and to remove 'All' option in 'Show Fields related to', So that users may not get confused by seeing all the measures. Can we achieve this.
l've some excel files controlled by Vendor which changing frequently. The only thing does not change is the header name of each column.
So my question is, is there any way to create a new table based on the excel file selected including the column name in SSIS? So that l can use the data reader as source to select those columns l am interested on and start the integration.
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.
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.

Hi everybody,I need some help in SQL Server. I am looking for a command that will "Dropall user table" in auser database.Can anyone help me?Thank you very muchSabrina
I am unable to get the table in the following VB code to actually DROP. A straight SQL version with literals (no variables) runs "successfully" as a query but the table also fails to DROP. Can anybody explain what I'm doing wrong?

I'm trying to drop a temporary table. I keep getting this error: Cannot drop the table '#temp_table', because it does not exist in the system catalog. 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
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. Email me on ftowicz@icontact.com.au
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.
We have a publication from database a to database b. Database a containts table1 to be published to databasae b. Database b contains a publication of table1 to database c. When we go to rerun the publication from database a it errors saying cannot drop table1 since it is part of database b's publication. how do you do this.
I had a question and did not obtain an answer. So I am trying to rephrase and ask again, in case I was not clear the first time.
When we drop and recreate a table, do we always have to recompile the stored procedures that reference the table? Or is only under certain scenarios that we need to do so- like if an index on the table is changed Please let me know Thanks in advance Kiran
