Is it possible to have a replicated table that you can open from and input data manually?
That is, I've got a table that I am replicating data to and I want to add some manual data to this table, every now and then.
Will this break replication?

On sqlserver 2000 transactional replication:
How would I best go about changing a published table's column from smallint to int? I could not find anything about it in BOL or MS.com. I do not think EM/Replication Properties allows the change. I suspect I have to run "Alter Table/Column" on the Publisher and each Subscriber the old-fashioned way. Is that true?
Thanks!
I have a cluster hosting multiple GP databases and a second for my data-warehouse I am playing around with (personal project).
I have scripts that pull data from all the DB's to input into the DW's tables(Customers,Reps,Hub....)
An example of my branch script :
select interidas BranchID,
cmpnynamas BranchDesc,
address1as BranchAddressLine1,
address2as BranchAddressLine2,
address3as BranchAddressLine3,
zipcodeas PostalCode
from dynamics..SY01500
Where interid in ('comp1', 'comp2', 'comp4', 'comp5')
what would be the best way to using these scripts pull the data to my testDW and not have duplicate data issues?
I was thinking of using a staging DB on the GP cluster and then building an import data package to run nightly. the issue i had was how do i avoid duplicate data ?
Hello specialists.
Maybe this is the wrong formum but I've got a question for which you probably have the answer, i hope.
Situation
------------
John is member of Group_A and Group_B
Bill is member of Group_B and Group_C
Allison is member of Group_A and Group_E
How can I create a query to input Allisons username into table 1 and groupmembership into table 2. Also updating the relationship within table3 must be done automaticaly. I want to avoid duplicate records.
The final situation I want is given in red text.
The relationships between the tables are as follows
-------------------------------------------------------------
Table1 (PK)ID-Userinfo [ONE] <------------> [MANY] Table3 ID-Userinfo
Table3 (PK)ID-GroupInfo [MANY] <------------> [ONE] Table2 (PK)ID-GroupInfo
Table1: UserInfo
------------------------------
(PK)ID-Userinfo UserName
1 John
2 Bill
3 Allison
Table2: GroupInfo
------------------------------
(PK)ID-GroupInfo GroupName
1 Group_A
2 Group_B
3 Group_C
4 Group_E
Table3: MemberOf
------------------------------
(PK)ID-MemberOf ID-UserInfo ID-GroupInfo
1 1 1
2 1 2
3 2 2
4 2 3
5 3 1
6 3 4
I hope you can help me cracking this nut.
Thx in advance. Greetings Fred

View 1 Replies View RelatedA 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?
thx
Using Server Explorer in VB 2005, I am manually entering data in a table in a SQL Server 2005 Express database that includes a DateTime field. I have tried every conceivable format, but no matter what I try get one of these 2 errors:
1. String was not recognized as valid DateTime
2. Operand type class; text incompatible with DateTime
I have Googled this to death, but no example which involves trying to enter the data manually, say from Server Explorer.
Formats tried include all datetime formats (mmddyy, yymmdd, using dashes or slashes, enclosing in single quotes or pound signs).
I would appreciate if someone could please give me an example that I can literally insert without error.
Hello,
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.

How can I do an alter table in some table that replicated database ?
I got the error message when I try !
I have a strange problem. I have a computed column in a replicated table, the Formula is as follows:
(isnull(hashbytes('SHA2_256',CONVERT([varchar](256),[AccrualReference],(0))),(0))) the column is also Persisted.
This gets around a case sensitivity issue and is used as the Primary Key column, which works well.The problem is that this table is then replicated to another server. On the subscriber the value of this computed field is being returned as 0x00000000 for every row, so this must be the ISNULL function doing its job. But why? The AccrualReference is the true PrimaryKey and is never NULL.
If I remove the computed specification and set the field up as varbinary(64) the value then gets replicated. This then means maintaining a different table schema for in excess of 500 tables.
I need to rename a replicated table columns.will this affect my current replication (Transactional replication)? Do i have to create a new snapshot and restart the subscriber?

Hi
We have a merge publication - I want to change the primary key for one of the tables (add another column to the primary key)
How do I do it ?
Currently there is no data in the table - which I guess might help..

We are using push subscription using transactional replication. Is there a recommended value for retention period on distributionDb? We are using default value of 72 hrs and recently we saw an issue where data was not replicated with an error that subscription was inactive. When I searched, I fid that it is related to the retention period setting on distribution DB.

I have transaction replication setup on two SQL7 boxes and a nightly job runs a procedure that need to alter a table and disable a trigger. Since replication has been set up the disable doesn't work. Any way around this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm merge replicating a SQL Server 2005 database (publisher) to SQL Compact databases (subscribers) on mobile devices. I understood that I could add a "not null" column to a replicated table on the server as long as I specified a default value, but it seems this is not possible. I ran the following script on the server database:
ALTER TABLE Activity ADD ActivityRequiresProject bit not null default(0)
which executed OK. When I went to synchronize the db on the mobile device I got the following error:
Alter table only allows columns to be added which can contain null values. The column cannot be added to the table because it does not allow null values.
The SQL statement failed to execute. If this occurred while using merge replication, this is an internal error. If this occurred while using RDA, then the SQL statement is invalid either on the PULL statement or on the SubmitSQL statement. [ SQL statement = alter table "Activity" add "ActivityRequiresProject" bit not NULL constraint "DF__Activity__Activi__4A47DDAE" default ( ( 0 ) ) ]
Does anyone know if this is a valid error? Is is possible to add a not null column with default, and if not how do I update the schema on a replicated database?

For SQL 2005 transactional replication I have 1400 articles (tables, views, functions, sp) that are all replicated.
Will SQL 2005 allow me to drop a table from from the publication and drop it from the publication database that is referenced by exising views or sps that are replicated or does it somehow check that?

I'm new to replication and am trying to determine the best approach to add a column (NOT NULL with no DEFAULT) to a replicated table. The only success I have had is if I do the following:
Delete entire Subscription
Delete entire Publication
Add column to table
Create new Publication
Create new Subscription
Run SnapShot
The problem with this approach is that each step affects the entire database and not just the modified table. I think it is inefficient to redo replication for a simple object change. What am I missing? Is there a way to only replicate the changes made to the one table without having to run a SnapShot for the entire publication?
Keep in mind the column must be defined as NOT NULL and cannot have a Default.
Thanks, Dave
We are using merge replication and it is working fine. We are looking for increase in on numeric column 10,5 instead of 7,2. How I can do it?
Any suggession highly appreciated by us.
