Hi
I'm working with merge replication between Sql Server 2005 and Sql Server 2005 Mobile. I'm using dynamic filtering by function HOST_NAME (... where Table.FilteredColumn = HOST_NAME())
When I'm trying to chagne values from filtered column on the client side (Table.FileteredColumn) I get error message that the column is read-only.
How can I change data in filtered column? Is this possible?
I have a merge replication. Currently works fine. Publisher & Distributor are on the same server. I need to change the location of the alternate folder for the snapshot files.
I’ll probably just change it through the GUI, but would I use sp_changedistpublisher or sp_changemergepublication if I were scripting everything?
My real concern is the subscribers. Do I have to ‘tell’ the subscribers where the alt folder has been changed to? Do I just run sp_changemergepullsubscription on the subscribers?
Hi,

Hi all,
I know that adding a column using ALTER TABLE to add a column automatically allows SQLSERVER 2005 to replicate the schema changes to the subscribers, however, I would like to add a new column to an existing article that is being used for merge replication, however, I don't want this column to be replicated. Re-initialising the subscriptions is not a option. Help would be appreciated.
I am using SQLSERVER 2005 (SP1).
Hello,
We have a couple of tables that can have quite a bit of data each day prior to replication. Can we increase the default values for a table for each subscription? For example we have a table called table1 and on the sqlexpress client they could enter in 10000 rows a day, on table2 it's just 100 rows a day. How can we increase the values to where we do not get the error for table1 stating that the insert failed because it conflicted with the identity range check constraint. Thanks in advance.
i have 2 fields name_last , name_first
when i use the query ,
Select name_last , name_first from members order by 1,2
i get the values..
Now I want to merge the fileds and show in a single column like Name_last , Name_first
ie ::
Select name_last , name_first from members order by 1,2 =
Col1 Col2
Aagersen Kevin
Select name_last " , " name_first from members order by 1,2 =
ColumnMerge1

Hi I have tried to add a new column to a publication table using sp_repladdcolumn and also directly add the column under Publication's properties screen.
I am able to add the column using both method. But changes to the newly added column either at the publisher or subscription databse will not get replicated.
Have I miss out something? or do I need to reinitialise the subscription to make changes in the newly added column to be replicated?
Hello,i have a table and if a record is inserted i will test a numeric valuein this table.

I have a table used in Merge Replication. If i add a new column in that table it gives me an error for tables in which either this table is a key or this table has key from other tables "Error validating the default for column 'rowguid'." Also for views i'm getting an error
"View 'dbo.vw_TestCaseBasic': indexes and schema binding will be removed."
If i proceed further i get an error and m not able to add the column.
"It is invalid to drop the default constraint on the rowguid column that is used by merge replication.
The schema change failed during execution of an internal replication procedure. For corrective action, see the other error messages that accompany this error message.
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted."
Is there any solution for the same?

Is the maximum number columns per table still 246 for a Merge replication in SQL Server 2005?
Please provide me a column-level merge replication in SQL Server 2005. In the SQL Sever books online, I could able to get very few informaiton about this topic. Please provide me a best practices for using this kind of conflict resolution in Merge-replication.

Hi all,
After I setup the merge replication in SQL SERVER 7.0, there is a rowguid column (datatype uniqueidentifier) inserted into each table in the both the source and destination database.
I need to get rid of the rowguid column in all tables. I deleted the replication, but the column still existed.
Is there an easy way to get rid of all the rowguid column in the database? Thanks for your reponse in advanced.
hi all,
Im running a snapshot replication on table.
first, i gonna copy the entire table with a regional filter other than date
second i'm going to replicate a days worth of data by using both the regional filter and date filter (getdate) to capture a days wordth of data.
the publication are working fine.
my question is how am i going to accumulated the result of
the filtered snaphot replication in a single table in my db.
many thanks,

Hi there,
I have setup merge replication which successfully synchronizes with a group of desktop users using SQL Compact Edition.
However now I have setup Article Filters and when I attempt to regenerate the snapshot I get the following error:
Invalid column name 'rowguid'.
Failed to generate merge replication stored procedures for article 'AssignedCriteria'.
When I look at publication properties at the Articles page.. All my tables have the rowguid uniqueidentifier successfully added to tables and selected as a compulsory published column, apart from the table above "AssignedCriteria".. Even when I attempt to select this column in the article properties page and press ok, when I come back it is deselected again. ( The Rowguid column is however physically added to the table)
I have scripted the publication SQL and then totally reinstalled from scratch, including the database but for some reason it doesn't like this table. I remove the article filters, but still this "rowguid" is never "selected" in article properties.
We are using Uniqueidentifiers in other columns as well for historical reasons, but this doesn't appear to be a problem in other tables..
DDL For this problematic table is as follows
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AssignedCriteria](
[AssignedCriteria] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL,
[CriteriaName] [varchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
[TargetScore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,
[HRPlan] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[ActualScore] [numeric](18, 0) NULL,
[Criteria] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[Employee] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[IsActive] [bit] NULL,
[addDate] [datetime] NULL,
[totalscore] [numeric](5, 0) NULL,
[isCalc] [bit] NULL,
[Weight] [decimal](18, 2) NULL,
[ProfileDetail] [uniqueidentifier] NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [MSmerge_df_rowguid_7FF25DF903B6415FBFF24AC954BC88E4] DEFAULT (newsequentialid()),
CONSTRAINT [PK_AssignedCriteria] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

How do I pass a single column of values from a successful merge join to an EXECUTE SQL statement so it can be used with an "IN" criteria of the WHERE clause? Here's an example of my update statement with two random key values:
UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET MyStatus = 1 WHERE MyPK IN ("XYZ123", "DEF890")
Is this even possible in SSIS, or am I better off using a loop and running the update EXECUTE SQL Statement for each individual key value, as in the following example?
UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET MyStatus = 1 WHERE MyPK = "XYZ123"
UPDATE dbo.MyTable SET MyStatus = 1 WHERE MyPK = "DEF890"
I am setting up filtered replication(tran repl) for a table that is 2+ TB in size. The filtered rows are less than 1% of total size.When I run the snapshot, sometimes it complete in 27 mins(I have already optimized the snapshot agent profile) and sometimes it runs for ever. Mostly it runs forever, so the chances of it finishing soon are really very less.I have infact created filtered index just to cater to the query in the filter i.e. on the filter predicates. The reason its flipping flopping is due to the incorrect plan that it chooses. I can force the right index and the filtered query runs just fine but. I cannot use the query hints when I am adding the filter in replication as its not allowed.
I then went ahead and created the plan guides to force the best plan. But the plan guide was not used because even if there is a single space in the actual query that replication runs in the background the plan guide will not be used(testing on plan guides has proved this). The query needs to be ditto same including whitespaces and carriage returns. I then ran profiler and found that there is a view that replication creates and executes to extract the filtered rows and BCP it. Got the text of the view and created the plan guide on it but it was still not used because sp_helptext output seems to be different than what is actually being fired by replication internally.
Further, I collected the verbose log with level 2 and tried to find out if the main query shows up there with no success.
(a) I can't use the plan guide because I do not know the exact syntax(I mean I have the query but I do not know the white spaces, carriage returns, etc) and
(b) I cannot use query hint while filtering the article.
1. I cannot afford to have downtime.
2. I cannot use backup and restore option either.
From distribution db, which table(s) store info about filtered data?
View 0 Replies View RelatedHello all,
I am trying to think my way through a solution which I believe others have probably come across... I am trying to implement a matching routine wherein I need to match an address against a high value and a low value (or, for that matter an input date vs. a start and end date) to return the desired row ... i.e. if I were to use a straight vb program I would just use the following lookup:
"SELECT DISTINCT fire_id, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out FROM ipt_tbl " & _
" WHERE zip_code = @zip_code AND addr_prim_lo <= @street_number AND addr_prim_hi >= @street_number " & _
" AND addr_prim_oe = @addr_prim_oe AND street_pre = @street_pre AND street_name = @street_name " & _
" AND street_suff = @street_suff AND street_post = @street_post " & _
" AND (expiry_date = '' OR expiry_date = '00000000' OR expiry_date > @expiry_date)" & _
" GROUP BY fire_ID, police_ID, fire_opt_in_out, police_opt_in_out"
My question, then, is how would you perform this type of query using a lookup / merge join or script? I have not found a way to implement a way to set the input columns? I can set the straight matches without a problem, i.e. lookup zip code = input zip code, but can't think of the correct way to set comparisons, i.e. lookup value 1 <= input value AND lookup value 2 >= input value
Any suggestions?
thanks for your time...
We have SharePoint list which has, say, two columns. Column A and Column B.
Column A can have three values - red, blue & green.
Column B can have four values - pen, marker, pencil & highlighter.
A typical view of list can be:
Column A - Column B
red - pen
red - pencil
red - highlighter
blue - marker
blue - pencil
green - pen
green - highlighter
red - pen
blue - pencil
blue - highlighter
blue - pencil
We are looking to create a report from SharePoint List using SSRS which has following view:
red blue green
pen 2 0 1
marker 0 1 0
pencil 1 3 0
highlighter 1 1 1
We tried Sum but not able to display in single row.
I have an SSIS package that imports data from an Excel file, replaces any value in Excel that reads "NULL" to "", then writes the data to a couple of databases.
What I have discovered today, is I have two columns of dates, an admit date and discharge date column, and what I need to do is anywhere I have a null value in the discharge date column, I have to replace it with the value in the admit date column.
I have searched around online and tried a few things using the Replace funtion in Derived columns but no dice so far.

Hi
We are using HTTPS merge replication
Our setup is as follows:
subscription.CreateSyncAgentByDefault = False -- I wrote a windows service to synchronise
subscription.UseWebSynchronization = True
subscription.InternetSecurityMode = AuthenticationMethod.BasicAuthentication
subscription.SubscriberType = MergeSubscriberType.Anonymous
Some of our subscribers have low-quality internet connections - how do I get the agent at the publisher/distributer use a slower profile - I've read How to: Work with Replication Agent Profiles (Replication Transact-SQL Programming)
but can't see where you specifiy an alternate agent profile
On the distributer / publisher (same machine) I go to replication monitor -> Warnings and Agents - I can only set the profile for the snapshot agent....
thanks

I am trying to implement Slowly Changing dimension transformation using Merge.Meaning both changing and historic attribute is in place. It seems we can use Update only once in Merge, in our scenario we have to update...When the historic attribute also have changed (To update the row as expired, IsCurrent=0)Also When changing attribute is changed. (Historic attribute is same). This case also we need to use Update. I am using CDC to do this. Updated OUTPUT is moving to a temporary table and using Execute SQL task to get updated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am working on bringing our disaster recovery site to be a live site. Currently we replicate to one of out servers (server B) with merge replication (from server A). Server A also does one way transactional replication form some table to several other servers including servers at the DR site.
This setup is not going to be fast enough for what we need so I am wondering if a table is receiving merge replication will the merge updates also replicate down the transaction path??
Example...
Server B update a row and merges to Server A. With this update them replicate (via transactional) to Server C??
thanks...
I have a field called Trainee1 and there are about 3 in every 10 records that the value is <NULL> - I want to change that value to 0.
I have tried to use this command but it changed EVERY record to <NULL>
update Trainee1 set RegId=replace(RegId,'NULL','0')
Has anyone any suggestions on how to just change the records where the value of traineeId is <NULL>???
Thanks in advance,

What is the best way to design your tables in cases where field values change?
Example:
CREATE TABLE Product (ProductID INT, Description VARCHAR(32), Price SMALLMONEY...);
CREATE TABLE Purchase (PurchaseID INT, ProductID INT, Quantity INT);
Since price obviously change over time, I was wondering what the is the best table schema to use to reflect these changes, while still remembering previous price values (like for generating reports on previous sales...)
is it better to include a "Price SMALLMONEY" field in the purchases table (which kind of de-normalizes it) or is it better to have a separate ProductPrice table that keeps track of changing prices like so:
CREATE TABLE ProductPrice (ProductID INT, Price SMALLMONEY, CreationDate DATETIME...);
and have the Purchase table reference the ProductPrice table instead of the products table?
I have used both methods in the past, but I was wanted to get other peoples' take on it.
Thanks
I have the problem of dynamically changing a field value in a row depending on the value of the same field in the previous row, assuming the table is sorted on that field.
:(
You may consider that field as a key of same sort as other values in the table do not help in selecting them uniquely.
Ex.
Before After
130 -> 130
130 -> 130A
140 -> 140
140 -> 140A

We have 2 dbs on our dw-server and the autogrowth values for both the data- and logfiles on both of these dbs changes about once a month. The data autogrowth value changes from 10megs to a percentage value between 3200 and 6400 and the log-file value changes from 10 percent to a percentage value between 3200 and 6400. Resulting in huge files and filling the drive.
What am I missing here?

I have a replicated database on 2008 R2 being moved to a new instance with 2014. Application regression testing is complete and all tests are good.
The current transactional replication topology is Publishing subscriber: the distributor is local and pushes to a subscription on an intermediary server. This server then has an identical publication and local distributor which then pushes to a subscription on a customer's server. There's no business case for this setup, it's just how it was created at the time.
I want to change this to a Central Distributor model when we do the move to speed things up and remove any extra potential points of failure.
The customer has a requirement that during this process, their subscription database remain online, all tables are fully populated and replication pick up exactly where it was left off. This is a completely new scenario for me and I was hoping to just be able to rebuild the subscription from scratch.
Is there a way to do this move and topology change and meet the customer's requirement?
This is very important.
