Issues With Removing Replication
Jan 17, 2007
SQL Server 2005 Standard replicating to an identical server.
My issue:
When we go into the database to remove a large number of rows, it says we are unable to delete since the database is in replication. Is there a way to pause, or stop replication temporarily? I stopped the log reader but it still gave me the same error.
The only way I have found around this is to delete the publication and re-create it when I'm ready. Now though, I'm unable to delete the publication. SQL Server Management Studio will freeze if I either try to delete something from the UI or command line. This happens with objects in SQL Server as well as rows and such. It will just freeze and I have to kill the process.
Please Help!

Hi,
We had transactional replication set up by a consultant with remote distributer, push subscription to the publisher (main production database). However, the subscriber machine had fatal crash and is unrecoverable. Now, replication jobs have been failing on distributor and we immediately need to disable and remove replication as it has started causing problems with transaction log backups on production database.
How can I completely remove this whole replication from publisher and distributor?
Please help.
Thanks,
Shaili

Hi all,
I have a db (with replication enabled) which was marked as suspect. As per the logs it is the Hardware crash that caused this db to become suspect.
Tried with sp_resetstatus to recover the db. But it is still in suspect mode. Changed the db into emercengy mode to recover the data thru' bcp which was succesful. Since there is no other way to recover the db, now I want to drop the db and create / restore the db from backup.
I am unable to drop the db becasue it is having a publication. I am also unable to drop publication becasue now the db is in emergency mode.
Kindly help and inform how I can drop the db and create it again from the backup without reinstalling SQL Server again.
TIA.
Ravi

Does anyone know how to remove 'Replication Triggers'?
I have a database created by export of data object. This process does not export any system tables to do with replication but there still seems to be something in the database which references them. There is no poblem if I backup and restore the dataabse.
Any advice?
Thanks Ed

Several years ago I set up Merge Replication on a SQL 2000 database and an MSDE Client on a Laptop. The Laptop frequently travelled out of the country and would "synch" up when it came back in.
Well the Laptop received some Viruses that we cannot get to remove so putting it on the network is not possible. Also, the owner of the laptop received a new one. He wants the database set up on the new laptop but it is not a priority at the moment and we plan to wait till the "Yemen" project is finished.
In the mean time, I want to remove the old laptop out of the Merge Replication scenario. We are not concerned about losing the data in the database on the laptop.
Does anyone know the steps I need to perform to "unreplicate" my database without being able to connect them?

Hi,
I'm trying to write a create database script for a test database and I need to check if the database exists before dropping and recreating it. The problem I'm having is that the test database is also merge replicating so if the db exists I need to remove the replication and then drop the database. I'm running the script using osql from a NAnt build script. The script goes something like this:
USE master
GO
if exists (select * from sysdatabases where name = N'@INITIAL_CATALOG@')
BEGIN
USE [N'@INITIAL_CATALOG@']
EXEC sp_dropmergepublication @publication = N'@PUBLICATION@'
USE master
EXEC sp_replicationdboption @dbname = N'@INITIAL_CATALOG@', @optname = N'merge publish', @value = N'false'
DROP DATABASE @INITIAL_CATALOG@
END
GO
CREATE DATABASE ...
Where the NAnt script replaces the @PARAMETER@ fields before running the script. Running the script using osql when the database doesn't exists appears to fail on parsing the line "USE [N'@INITIAL_CATALOG@']" with the error "Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database '[DatabaseName]' ..." and does not create the database. If I run the same script in SQL Management Studio I get the same error but it does create the database.
The script should only execute the USE [N'@INITIAL_CATALOG@'] statement if the database exists, but the parser isn't able to see this and returns an error. If anyone can see an error in this script syntax, or see a different way of doing the same function without getting errors I would greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
Greg

I'm trying to remove replication from my database so that I can run some update scripts on it but SQL Enterprise Manager just keeps hanging on me. I've searched the web an no-one seems to have had this problem.
Does anyone know of this problem or have they experienced it? If so, can you help?
Am I doing something wrong trying to remove the replication (deleting the publication)?
Thanks.

Hi! I am trying to remove an "*" I used to transfer a file from Excel to SQL. I put the "*" in the NULL values so that I would not get an error. Now that I have the file in SQL, I need to remove the :*" from some columns in my table. How can I select all of those in a column and delete them without deleting each individual one. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I have a search box to look up using a number as an identifier. Currently my query is where x = @enteredNumber, but some place where a user might get the number it is padded with zeros. We can have them just see the number and retype it.
EG: 000000123 would be entered as 123.
But, I would like to let them copy and paste, but then strip the zeros (left padding only).
EG:
@num = stripPadding(@enteredNumber)
IE:
@num = stripPadding(000000123)
@num = 123

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 7.0 SP3. I added a column to a table like so:
ALTER TABLE T704_RELATIONSHIP_INDEX_CLIENT_REPORT_STORE
ADD Universe_Member_Set_cd INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 1
What is the syntax for dropping the 'DEFAULT' from this column once it has been created? I've looked in BOL but can't seem to get the syntax correct.
Thanks in advance,
Darrin

Hello,
A few days ago one our database's default filegroup filled up. To solve the problem one of my colleagues created a new filegroup. This didn't solve the problem as no objects were placed on this filegroup and the initial one is still full. The idea was to expand the original filegroup over a new physical disk, not to create a new filegroup on that disk. Unfortunately, this is what happened.
To solve this I want to delete the new filegroup, but when I issue the command 'alter database PvgOmcsOds remove filegroup ternary' I get the message 'Server: Msg 5042, Level 16, State 7, Line 1 The filegroup 'ternary' cannot be removed because it is not empty.' Yet there're no objects placed on this filegroup.
How can I get rid of this filegroup?

Hi all,
I am trying to remove one of the filegroups in the development database to shrink its size down. I started with emptying and removing its files and ran:
dbcc shrinkfile
(pubs_data_1,emptyfile)
go
and it ran fine, with 'DBCC execution completed' message
but when I tried :
alter database pubs
remove file pubs_data_1
go
I got 'pubs_data_1 cannot be removed because it is not empty'.
I even tried to go to each of the tables and delete from them first which didn't work, then drop all tables in that filegroup (I knew which tables are located on that filegroup), that didn't work either.
Any ideas? Is there a way to check what else sits on that filegroup?
Thanks

Dear Concerned DBAs,
I am wanting to pick someones brain and find out if there is anything I can do to successfully remove and reinstall SQL Server Version 6.5? I have already removed the software from the SQL Setup icon in ProgramsMSSQL Server 6.5 and went and removed the setup.exe and mssql files associated with the software from the server. Now when I attempt to reinstall the software back onto the server after a hard reboot, I do not get the option once the SQL Server Version 6.5 disk is placed into the CD-Rom to install SQL Server. The only options I get are upgrade, server configurations, etc.
Can anyone or everyone give me a hand as to where to take this dilemma other than rebuilding the server from the ground up?
Anticipatorily Yours,
Daimon Russell

Hello all,
I have a table named users. It consists of user names, user ids, etc... The problem is that whoever designed the ASP code before me allowed people to enter info in any format they want. This poses a problem because now the name can have 1, 2, or sometimes 3 spaces in between the last and first names. And sometimes the middle initial is used with a period following it. This creates problems when I am trying to execute a Select statement since it won't match if there are an unknown number of spaces in the string and throws an error when a period is used.
Is there a SQL query I can execute to change all the user_names into a format such as the following:
LastName, FirstName MiddleInitial
Like I said, it is already almost the same, just has too many spaces and some have periods after the middle initial

I have a members table and have added an extra few thoushand members to it. Now I need to remove the duplicates.
It doesnt matter which duplicate i remove as long as there are unique email addresses.
so here is the format of the table:
id
email
firstname
lastname
datebirth
if i do a:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Email) AS Expr1
FROM Customer
it returns 21345
and
SELECT Count(Email)
FROM Customer
returns 28987
I can get the unique email addresses into another table by going:
SELECT DISTINCT emailaddress INTO DistinctCustomer
FROM Customer
but this will only return unique email addresses. How do i select distinct email address and all other fields into a new table? or just remove duplicates where email address appears more then once?
Thanks in advance

HiI have inherited a web app with the following table structure, and need toproduce a table without any duplicates. Email seems like the best uniqueidentifier - so only one of each e-mail address should be in the table.Following http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=3331 I have been able toget a duplicate count working:select Email, count(*) as UserCountfrom dbo.Membersgroup by Emailhaving count(*) > 1order by UserCount descBut the methods for create a new table without duplicates fail. My code forthe 2nd method is:sp_rename 'Members', 'temp_Members'select distinct *into Membersfrom temp_MembersTable....CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Members] ([MemberID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,[Username] [varchar] (10) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Password] [varchar] (10) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Email] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Title] [varchar] (10) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[FirstName] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Surname] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Address1] [varchar] (35) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Address2] [varchar] (35) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[City] [varchar] (25) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Country] [varchar] (25) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Profession] [varchar] (50) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[Publication] [varchar] (40) COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS NOT NULL ,[DateAdded] [smalldatetime] NOT NULL ,[SendMail] [smallint] NOT NULL) ON [PRIMARY]GOThanks B.

SQL
Upgrading to VS05 Pro SP1/SqlExpress (from VS03 Pro/SQL MSDE)
Question 1) €“ is there a way to tell which version of the SQL Express was installed? I think it is €œSQL Server 2005 Express Edition With Advance Services€?, but don€™t know how to confirm that.
Question 2) - SQL Server Management Studio Express, Registered Servers, it shows :
Database Engine
sqlexpress (note the lower case)
If I right click and choose €œPreviously Registered Servers€?, it shows a message that I will be displaying SQL Server 2000 (i.e. MSDE) server names, and it shows
SQL Server Group
SQLEXPRESS (note the upper case)
CSOLUTION
I wish to completely remove CSOLUTION (in MSDE you would uninstall it from the Control Panel), but right clicking and choosing the delete option does nothing (it does not delete it). Deleting SQL Server Group also has no affect either. How do I remove CSOLUTION ?
Question 3) - In the VS05 program, the SQL connection string includes €œData Source=.SQLEXPRESS€¦.€? (NOTE UPPER CASE) Why do I have a lower case and an upper case listed above? Starting/stopping one sqlexpress/ SQLEXPRESS does the same to the other. Don€™t I wan€™t to complete delete anything under SQL Server Group since it represents SQL Server 2000 (i.e. MSDE) server names? SQL Server 2000 and CSOLUTION have been uninstalled from this machine.
Thanks!

We need to remove the BUILTINAdministrators from reporting services. I.T. personnel do not want to be able to see restricted reports. We have two department users that have been added as Content Managers and we are running reporting services under a created domain user account that we created and not a system service. I have removed BUILTINAdministrators from the Home folder and when I check, it comes right back. Do I need to deny access to BUILTINAdministrator on SQL Server 2005 itself? I would apprecate any suggestions.

he certificate cannot be dropped because one or more entities are either signed or encrypted using it.
Is there any way I can drop this as I would like to recreated it and add a whole host of sps that I need to use the xp_cmdshell.
