I am having problem when performing the alter table switch. Both tables are identical and have pk.
ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part' .
WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON)
ON TResultsScheme (testresult_id) ) ON TResultsScheme (testresult_id)
I have performed the function on other tables successfully, but this is the first that has an identity column involved. Is there anything special that needs to be done?
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?
Working on partitioning a few large tables. One of the tables included a text column and the €śTEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]€? clause which would prevent the partitioning of this table. After some research we found that the data was legacy and no longer used. We updated the column on the affected rows to NULLS and altered the column to a VARCHAR(20) When I attempted to run the ALTER TABLE SWITCH I encountered the error Msg 4947, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresultsjoe' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part'. After a lot of grief and testing I determined that the message was bogus and the real issue is that the 'sys.tables' still has €ślob_data_space_id€? with a value of 1 for this table. I created a copy of the table with the text column altered to varchar and one with just the varchar to begin with. After copying data from the original table, I tried to run the alter switch. It failed once again for the text column altered to varchar table, but it worked for the varchar from the start.
Since it appears that this value is causing my issues, is there anyway to update the table in place. I know I can BCP the data out, but that would take too long and would defeat the advantage of using the alter switch method.
BOL States:
The allow updates option is still present in the sp_configure stored procedure, although its functionality is unavailable in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (the setting has no effect). In SQL Server 2005, direct updates to the system tables are not supported. This means we cannot update the table manually.
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;
How can I alter a table turning ON or OFF an IDENTITY field ?
for example: if I had my DB with Client_ID as an I IDENTITY field and for some reason it has changed to just INT (with no IDENTITY) - how can I tell it to be IDENTITY field again ?

Does anyone knows an article on database planning ? (I wanna know when should I use the IDENTITY field)
I am dropping 60 out of 133 columns on a user table, but am finding that the spaceused by the table ( as shown by sysindexes.dpages ) is not being freed up. I have dropped and recreated all indexes on the table, with no effect on the dpages value, as well as running dbcc updateusage for the table. Is it not possible to free up the space used by using this method ? Is recreating and repopulating the table with only the required columns the correct / only way to do this ?
When the new month comes I want the table to alter the columns automatically instead of manual how we do it now. The new Month table should delete [02-2015] and replace it with [03-2015].
I just created a new table with over 100 Columns and I need to populated just the first 2 columns.
The first columns to populate is an identify column that is the primary key. The second column is a foreign_key to an other column and I am trying to populate this columns with all the values from the foreign_key value. This is what I am trying to do.
column1 = ID column2= P_CLIENT_D
SET IDENTITY_INSERT PIM1 ON
INSERT INTO PIM1 (P_CLIENT_ID) SELECT Client.ID FROMP_Client
So I am trying to insert both an identity values and a value from an other table while leaving the other columns blank. How do I go about doing this.
Keep in mind this is my first compiled SQL program Stored Procedure(SP), copied from a book by Frasier Visual C++.NET in Visual Studio2005 (Chap12). So far, so theory, except for one bug (feature?)below. At some point I'm sure I'll be able to laugh about this, akinto forgeting a semi-colon in C/C++, but right now it's frustrating(time to sleep on it for a while).Problem--For some reason I get the error when trying to save files where twotables (called Author and Content), linked by a single key, form arelationship.By simple comparison of the source code in the textbook and my program(below) I found the difference: instead of, like in the textbook, theStored Procedure (SP) starting with "CREATE PROCEDURE", it*automatically* is (was somehow) given the name of 'ALTER PROCEDURE'and I cannot change this to "CREATE PROCEDURE" (you get an error in MSVisual Studio 2005 Pro edition of "There is already an object namedXXX in the database", see *|* below). No matter what I do, the SP isalways changed by Visual Studio 2005 to 'ALTER PROCEDURE'!!!(otherwise it simply will not save)Anybody else have this happen? (See below, others have had this happenover the years but it's not clear what the workaround is)Keep in mind this is my first attempt and I have ordered somespecialized books on SQL, but if this is a common problem (and Isuspect it's some sort of bug or quirk in VS2005), please let me know.Frankly I think SQL as done by VS2005 is messed up.Here are two Usenet threads on this problem:(1) http://tinyurl.com/2o956m or,http://groups.google.com/group/micr...1454182ae77d409(2) http://tinyurl.com/2ovybv or,http://groups.google.com/group/micr...9e5428bf0525889The second thread implies this is a bug--any fix?Also this bug might be relate to the fact I've switched (and notrebooted) from Administrator to PowerUser after successfully changingthe permissions in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (see thisthread: http://tinyurl.com/2o5yqa )Regarding this problem I might try again tommorrow to see if rebootinghelps.BTW, in the event I can't get this to work, what other SQL editor/compiler should I use besides MS Visual Studio 2005 for ADO.NET andSQL dB development?RL// source files// error message:'Authors' table saved successfully'Content' table- Unable to create relationship 'FK_Content_Authors'.The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint"FK_Content_Authors".

Basically I have 635k records in a table with a person's first name, and date of birth (other stuff but it's not relavent). I imported all the data from excel files, but somehow a bunch of records got the first name and date of birth mixed up, so I'm trying to write a stored procedure that would switch the first name with the date of birth wherever the firstname is purely numeric, or something of the sort. Now records are in fact repeated so another possible but more time taking solution is to write a stored procedure that I give the date of birth and it does the switching around for the respective date of birth when it's found inside the First name. Any suggestions? All the code I've written has proved useless :/

I'm attempting to remove the IDENTITY property from a column using the ALTER command but can't seem to find the right syntax. I've tried every conceivable combination I can think of. I can add the property to a column that doesn't have it.
It's easy to do in Enterprise Mgr., but I want to script the change.
I really don't want to drop the table and rebuild if I don't have to.
Hello All, There is a table A in SQL. One of the column of A was IDENTITY before and was getting referenced in other table B.
During migration to SQL 2005, I removed the IDENTITY constraint and imported all the data from 2000 to 2005. Now I have to deploy the IDENTITY back to the column. I am getting an error while executing the code:
ALTER TABLE TableA ALTER COLUMN ColumnA ADD CONSTRAINT IDENTITY(445,1)
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? Or if there is any other way to do it. There are 50+ tables I need to do the same.
Is there any way to remove the IDENTITY property of a column? I originally used it, but it caused so many headaches with ADO.NET that I've decided to just increment the darn things manually. So I want to turn it into just a normal integer column.
If there's no direct way, can someone suggest a quick way to create a new column, copy all the old values into the new column, change the primary key to the new column, and drop the old column?

I am planning to use transacational replication (instead of merge replication) on my SQL server 2000. My application is already live and is being used by real users.
How can I ensure that replicated data on different server would have exact same values of identity columns and date columns (where every I set default date to getdate())?
It is very important for me to have a mirror image of data (without using clustering servers).
I am trying my first sliding partition scheme with 2005, and I am getting the following error...

Hello everyone, thanks in advance for reading. I'm new to reports and have tried searching for my answer with no luck. Any direction would be great.
Here is the issue, I have 3 colums in the dataset which display String data ("High", "Medium", or "Low")
I've added a column to the table on the report where I would like to convert the value of "High", "Medium" and "Low" to 3,2,1 respectively then SUM these numbers.
Is this possible? I've tried several variations of the code below--maybe it's not possible to do what I want? Thanks again for your time and help.
