Hi,
I have a table published on the SQL2K Merger Replication publisher. But when I add an index to the table it's not replicated to the device. I have checked the snapshot folder and the newly added index is already in the .dri file. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Justin
Hello -
I have merge replication set up between a sql 2005 server and a device that has sql ce database. My original publication had only tables and this has been working fine, as far as getting data from the server (publisher) to the device (subscriber). Recently, I had a view (joins between 3 tables) that I wanted to add to the publication. When I run the replication now (even on a brand new sql ce datbase) only the tables (and their data) get replicated, the view does not get replicated to the device/sql ce database.
Is there something else I need to do to get the view to replicate to the device?
thanks

Using SQL 2005 SP2. I have a publication that contains indexed views, and some other objects that query the indexed view using WITH (NOEXPAND). Currently replication fails because the CLUSTERED INDEX on the view is NOT replicated. I've experimented with various schema options but nothing changes. The view is replicated but not the clustered index on that view. I've seen some discussion on replicating indexed views to a table, but I would like to replicate indexed view schema fully. (Including the clustered index on that view). Is there a way to make this work?

Can anyone help me to recreate the .NDF file if it was lost and not restorable? I have a stored procedure written that will then help me rebuild all indexes on all tables, but I can't seem to figure out how to create the index file again so I can run it. I have tried index files from other databases to no avail. There is no backup to go to.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a database in development in SQL Server 6.5 that needs to be occasionally deleted and rebuilt from a script when table structures are changed. I found that when very complex queries were performed, the 2 MB default size of tempdb filled up and returned errors, so I went to the Enterprise Manager to expand tempdb, learned that I had to first expand a device to expand tempdb into, and foolishly chose to expand tempdb into the same device space used by my application, instead of into one of the system databases. Now when I try to delete the device in preparation for its rebuild, the Enterprise Manager responds with an error message saying the device can't be deleted because it contains system tables. Is there any way to get the expanded portion of tempdb out of my application device so that the device can be deleted, without reinstalling SQL Server?

Is there anyway to tell when records have been replicated to another device from SQL Server? I realize I can see it by looking in the distribution table, but I want to do it from a different database, so I cant access the distribution database from that DB. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
View 13 Replies View RelatedHello,
In our environment (SQL 2005) we have a database that uses Transactional Replication to sync data between two SQL 2005 servers. There is a web app that reads/writes data to the publisher server and the other server (that gets the replicated data) is used by some other internal applications.
At times, there is a need to delete some data from the publisher server...but this can ONLY happen once the data has been successfully replicated to the second server. Is there any way to determine if a row has been replicated successfully?
thanks

I have an application that uses web-based merge replication. My publisher is SQL 2005 and my subscriber is SQL 2005 Express. I control the replication with RMO code. If I make changes to the data in both databases using SQL Server Management Studio Express, my RMO code correctly syncs the two databases. However if I make changes to the data at the subscription through my application, these changes are not picked up by the replication process, even though the changes are present if you check the tables through Management Studio. What would cause these changes to not be recognized? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I am trying to figure out a way to link a MySQL database (running on Linux) to my MSSQL7 database. My ultimate goal is to synchronize inserted/updated/deleted data in the MSSQL7 DB to the MySQL DB.
I have tried a few things and have had a few ideas. They are:
1) Create table triggers in the MSSQL7 DB that will synchronize the data to the MySQL DB. I can't figure out how to run Transact/SQL statements (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, etc.) into an ODBC DSN pointing to the MySQL DB. I think this could be done with a linked server (see next item).
2) Add a linked server under Security->Linked Servers in the MSSQL7 Enterprise Manager. I have managed to get the remote MySQL server to link in here. I can even see the table names in the server browser, so that's encouraging! However, I cannot figure out the syntax of the fully-qualified table names in my SELECT statements. I have tried this:
SELECT * from LinuxBox..MyDB.MyTable
-and-
SELECT * from LinuxBox.MyDB.MyDB.MyTable
but I get:
Server: Msg 7312, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid use of schema and/or catalog for OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL'. A four-part name was supplied, but the provider does not expose the necessary interfaces to use a catalog and/or schema.
This statement:
SELECT * from LinuxBox...MyTable;
gives me:
Server: Msg 7313, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid schema or catalog specified for provider 'MSDASQL'.
Since I can see the table names in the linked server browser in Enterprise Manager, though, some kind of connection must be active. I just need to figure out how to refer to the remote tables.
A big problem is that when I supply a catalog name while defining the linked server, I get an error message from the Enterprise Manager:
Error 7399: OLE DB provider 'MSDASQL' reported an error. The provider reported an unexpected catastrophic failure.
Therefore, I can't define a catalog with the linked server. I think a catalog is required for the "4-part name" to work in the SELECT statement above.
3) Write an extended stored procedure that uses the ODBC function library to make a connection to the MySQL DSN and have a table trigger call the ESP. Hoping to be able to do something simpler than this!
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Greg
Hi,
We have to move two of our servers in US hosting SQL Server 2000 database to different location. These servers are clustered using MSCS and uses SAN to store database data. The database on this cluster hosts publisher and distributor. The other two sites in Europe host updateable subscribers. We are using transactional replication. The downtime will be around 24 hours during which servers will be physically moved from one location to other. During this time we will keep the two subscribers running and let the changes queued on subscribers. I have listed following steps based on my limited knowledge of SQL Server. Could somebody please advise if this approach is valid and if I have missed any steps?
1. Make sure no users are accessing database
2. Backup database (In case of emergency need)
3. Stop snapshot, Log Reader, Queue Reader and Distributor Agents
4. Stop SQL Server Service and SQL Agent
5. Take OS backup
5. Shutdown the server
6. Ship the servers and OS backup to new location
7. Setup servers at new location and restore OS backup
8. Start SQL Server Service and SQL Agent
9. Start agents listed in step 3

I got Server A with 30 Databases and I was asked to move 30 databases to Server B…
But server A is having 2 databases as Publication and Distribution to two different servers….. and Server A is a subscription for 6 Databases from other servers….
Once I move the databases from Server A to Server B…… what is the best way to get the Replications too…. I mean Server B should have 2 Db’s as Pub & Distr and 6 Db’s as Subscription…
Is there any way I can script it out in Server A and run the same script in Server B with some modification…. so that the Replication work…..??
I have Jobs and Maintenance plans…. Which should also move from Server A to Server B…. I know using DTS...... is there any better way..??
Please some one give me ur suggestion on this…
Thanks

I've got 2 servers and they are using replication to synch the data from one to other.
I've got a Full Text Catalog on a table on both servers.
- I repopulate the catalogs completely on both servers(now remember that the base tables of those catalogs are under replication and are exactly the same!!)
-When I run the exact same qquery against the 2 databases using the Full Text Catalogs I'd just finished rebuilding, I get a different number of results returned in my result set on one then I do on the other...
How the heck could this be possible?
Is there any query to find out all the tables without a Primary key or without a Unique index ?

I used Transacational with update sub method. When adding new column to replicated table. Do I need to generate new snapshot again? Just want to know how can I apply the new schema to subsciber DB without doing all regenerate snapshot, recreate all tables and bulk copy.. Please help
I hosed myself, please help me somebody.We have a development server (SQL7) where the database is a restored copy ofproduction (where we use replication, but not in the developmentenvironment).While we rebuild the server recently (so we could move off of NT onto 2000),everything looked to be working fine.But I recently, messed up and did a massive update filling the transactionlog of the development server. Now I can't update data in development.I tried to do my usual:BACKUP LOG LAMS WITH Truncate_onlyonly to get a message:The log was not truncated because records at the beginning of the log arepending replication. Ensure the Log Reader Agent is running or usesp_repldone to mark transactions as distributed.Did a little research into BOL and tried to call the following two procs:exec sp_repldone@xactid = null ,@xact_seqno = null ,@reset = 1exec sp_repltransBoth of which gave me an error of :The database is not published.Which it isn't as we don't run replication in the development environment.I stopped and restarted the SQL Service (as that has cleared issues in thepast), but didn't reboot the server.How can I make the database not think It's replicated (or that its caughtup?).I was thinking, would I be even be able to do another restore of a morerecent copy of Production?Sincerely ...Depressed in Delaware
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,I am using Merge Replication for synchronizing a bunch of laptopsrunning MSDE with a central SQL Server 2000 production server.This database is used by an application that needs to know whichrecords have not yet been replicated, at any givem time.Here's a simple scenario:User A in laptop X starts his copy of the application. He syncs hisMSDE database through the application, to match the current centralservers' data. He then proceeds to add new records through theapplication and, after he is done, he synchronizes his database withthe central server, through the application.At any given time, the user might kill the application. He might addsome records today, a few more tomorrow or in a week and should be ableto change and delete records that have not yet been merged into theproduction server.The problem is that SQL Server does not have an easy way to tell whichrecords in the subscription tables have been inserted but not yetreplicated. I have been using the following query:SELECT rowguidFROM [MyTable]INNER JOIN (SELECT rowguid AS rep_idFROM msmerge_contentsWHERE generation = joinchangegen AND generation = (SELECT MAX(generation)FROM msmerge_genhistory )) dtableON rowguid_rep = dtable.rep_idThis query works for most cases but fails to identify the first recordcreated immediatly after a synchronization event.What I would like to know is if there is a correct way of identifyingrecords which are "not-yet-replicated" on a given table that is part ofa merge replication process like the one described above.Thanks in advance.

Dear ppl,
In Merge Replication SQL Server2005, what is the easiest way of finding out wether a row on the publisher database has ever been replicated to subscribers?
Regards
I have a number of databases that are being transactionally replicated from SQL 2000 Enterprise edition publisher to SQL 2005 Enterprise edition subscriber. I have included indexes in the replication. The subscriber database is then accessed and the data de-normalised and aggregated for reporting purposes.
My question is this: I want to periodically re-build the indexes on the publisher and subscriber via an automated task. If I rebuild the indexes on the publisher, will that automatically replicate to the subscriber? Will there be a problem with the "snapshot being out of date", and therefore replication stopping? I run a new snapshot once a day in the small hours of the morning. If there is likely to be a problem with the rebuild throwing the replication out, would it be wise to have the rebuild job running just before the new snapshot is taken?
Any help/advice appreciated.
Hi all
Our company is considering using replication to synchronize data between handheld devices and SQL Server 2005. One of our requirements is the ability to retrieve a summary of all updated records in the Tags table (only on the server) each time data is retrieved from one of the handhelds.
Is this easily accomplished? How can it be done?
Thanks.

How can i change my Table Structure that is replicated?
I need to add a new field.
I am using Full Text Index to index emails stored in BLOB column in a table. Index process parses stored emails, and, if there is one or more files attached to the email these documents get indexed too. In result when I'm querying the full text index for a word or phrase I am getting reference to the email containing the word of phrase if interest if the word was used in the email body OR if it was used in any document attached to the email.
How to distinguish in a Full Text query that the result came from an embedded document rather than from "main" document? Or if that's not possible how to disable indexing of embedded documents?
My goal is either to give a user an option if he or she wants to search emails (email bodies only) OR emails AND documents attached to them, or at least clearly indicate in the returned result the real source where the word or phrase has been found.
I just completed creating a replication job between a server at my location, where I have SA privileges, to a subscription server at a location where I have db_owner rights (no SA). When replication runs, the objects get created on the subscriber as userid.object rather then dbo.object. The subscriber permissions were set by clicking on "Replication", right clicking on "Publication", clicking on "Configure Publishing, Subscribers and Distribution...", clicking on Subscribers tab, choosing the subscriber and selecting "Use SQL Server Authentication". How do I cause replication to create the objects as dbo.object if I connect to the subscriber using an id defined as db_owner?
Thanks, Dave
How can I do an alter table in some table that replicated database ?

Hi, I have setup a merged replication on two server. Server A contains the Publisher and the Distributor database and Server B contains Subscriber.
If the database at the Subscriber got corrupted. I am thinking maybe i can 'restore' the subscriber database by resynchronising the data from the publisher to subscriber.
But what happen if the Publisher database failed? How should one restore the publisher database and then restore the replication setup?
What will be a good backup/restore strategy for such a setup?
