Hi !
I'm thinking of installing a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 on a database server,
to be the db of a webapplication, but the it must be possible for the users
to copy/replicate data from the server db, to a local db on their e.g.
laptop to work even if not online. Is there a tool that can handle this
scenario. (it must be possible to update the server db from the laptop when
online again ).
And:
What have to be installed on the laptop (apart from my application running
on the replicated data) ?
Thanx
/Hans
Using SQL 7.0 I'd like to replicate just schema from DB on server A to DB on server B, then be able to replicate data only form DB on server B to DB on server A. I need help!!
Thanks for ANY information you can give me... ~Jepadria
We have a 64-bit VM server running SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server on this particular VM server has 6 local instances installed. On the Management Studio logon screen I can type the full name of the local instance and connect to it, however if I press the drop down in the Server name field, choose Browse and select the Local Servers tab there is nothing listed under Database Engines.
Any idea why the 6 local instances don't show up under Database Engines? This is preventing me from installing a vendor application because their installer looks for local SQL Server instances on this server, but if SQL Server won't even show the local instances then the installer doesn't see them either.
I am facing a problem in connecting to the local database with server name as (local).
I have installed SQL Server 2005 in my machine. When I try to connect to the SQL server with the server name as SUNILKUMAR I am able to connect but when I try to connect to the same server with the server name as (local) I am not able to connect. SUNILKUMAR is my machine name and SQL server is running locally.
if anyone can help me what is the problem in this case it is highly appriciated.
My goal is to develop the system on a windows application and pda
There is a central server which will create a publication called inventory
The laptops which host the windows application will be subscribers to the central server using merge replication
The client now wants the PDA using SQL Mobile to synchronize with the local subscirber database on the laptop using active sync. They dont want to do it via WIFI to the IIS Server at the central server
I have been reading for days and I am still unsure whether this is possible to do.
I know Appforge provide a conduit for palm to access synchronization but not local sql databases
Being a very novice SQL Server administrator, I need to ask the experts a question.
How do I go about moving a database from 1 drive to another? The source drive (C is local to the server, but the target drive (E is on a Storage Area Network (SAN), although it is still a local drive for the server. I want to move the database from C: to E:. Can someone provide me with instructions?
I am new (very new) to SQL. I 'm trying to set up SQL 7 to replicate a particular table on a daily schedule and then FTP the file out to a remote directory. Sounds easy! I'm sure it is, I just need someone to walk me through the steps.
If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.
I'm replicating with SQL Server 2000(updated Service Pack 3) get error:
SQL Server Enterprise Manager could not configure 'BREEZE1' as the Distributor for 'BREEZE1'.
Error 14113: Could not execute "'"C:program filesmicrosoft sql server80 ools\binnosql" -E -l60 -t60 -d"distribution" -b -i"c:MSDESQLBinnMSSQL\installinstdist.sql" -o"c:msdesqlinnmssql\installinstdist.out"'". Check 'instdist.out' in the install directory. 'distribution' is not configured as a distribution database. Deleting database file 'c:msdesqldatamssqldatadistribution.ldf'. Deleting database file 'c:msdesqldatamssqldatadistribution.mdf'.
I have a feeling this is failing because I have not C:msdesqlinnmssqlinstall directory at all.
Is there something I'm doing wrong...If the SP3 can affect???
declare @filenumber as char set @filenumber = '65'
declare @filenu2 as char(6)
set @filenu2 = CONVERT(CHAR(6),(replicate('0',(6-len(@filenumber)))+ @filenumber ))
select @filenu2 as x
This should return 000065 but it returns 000006 i have stepped through it the replicate should replicate the 0 4 times (6 - len of @filenumber) instaed its doing it 5 ??
Merge replication. We switched a publication over from push to pull and are now initiating everything within an application. We have just encountered a situation where it is now completely impossible to replicate DDL.
When this was a push subscription, we could execute the following and it would fly straight through the engine and hit every subscriber without having to do anything at all:
ALTER TABLE <tablename>
ADD <columnname> <datatype> NULL
Now that it is a pull subscription when I issue an ALTER TABLE and add a nullable column to the end of the table, it does NOT replicate at ALL. We get the following error message:
The schema definition of the destination table 'dbo'.'Player' in the subscription database does not match the schema definition of the source table in the publication database. Reinitialize the subscription without a snapshot after ensuring that the schema definition of the destination table is the same as the source table. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199478) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199478
The process was successfully stopped. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147199481) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL-2147199481
It apears that we are now required to either reinitialize every subscriber every time we add a column or we are required to first distribute the DDL change to each subscriber, make sure they all have it, then add it to the publisher before anyone replicates, and then reinit every single one of them without a snapshot. This makes absolutely no sense at all.
The interesting thing is that we can add articles at will and those get applied with absolutely no problems at all to the subscribers without having to do anything other than add the article and generate a new snapshot.
This is my first time to deploy an asp.net2 web site. Everything is working fine on my local computer but when i published the web site on a remote computer i get the error "Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed" (only in pages that try to access the database) Help pleaseee
Hi everyone, I've recently been thrown into a DBA role (I've never done any DBA work except writing a few SQL queries), so please go easy on me if these are stupid questions. My first task is to find the best way to replicate data between two SQL Server production databases. The data is to come from Production DB #1 to Production DB #2 (for access by a different system). The data has to be super-close -- not necessarily real-time, but within a few minutes. So when data is updated in #1, #2 shouldn't be be lagged by more than 45 minutes (5-10 is ideal). There are hundreds of thousands of records.What would be the best way to do this? Are there options in SQL Server 2005 to do "differential" updates from DB1 to DB2? Or is that how "transactional replication" works? If we were to implement a "full recovery model", will this impact any sort of replication? Thanks.
WE have a production database that we need to sync with about 100 salesman's laptops. These laptops will not always be online and would need to sync on the fly.
We are thinking of having a separate distribution database to handle the load and creating either a pull subscription or even just a DTS package. We would like to have the salesmen just signon and go to an ASP page and hit an Icon and either the pull subscription or the dts package would start the sync..
Anyone tried this before and have any other ideas??
I have set up a simple trans rep from a server in the office to the web. both servers are NT4sp6aSQL 7.0. Tables only.
The publication and distribution db are on the server at the office, and there is a full time connection through the firewall.
The initialization and first replication works perfectly, but after that, there is a message from the snapshot agent that "no subscriptions needed initialization", the logreader says thare are no replicated transactions and the Distribution agent says there are no replicated transactions. What am I missing?
Hi, there I have a situation here.... I have Production DB and Development DB in the same SQL7.0 box.... I want to update the data and SP from Pro. to Dev at least once a day... So this is my plan.
1. Back up(Pro.) and restore(Dev.) so I can have the same DB in the same box. 2. Using a Replication (Pulication and Subscription) ro update the data and SP. 3. Because DTS can not update the SP, I use the replication instead of DTS. I need to update the SP, too..(Front end is ACCESS and backend is SQL7.0 DB)
Is there any other methods or way to make ti happen... Any suggestion can help...
I'm new to replication. I configured Server named TESTER as publisher & distributer. Create new publication for database named TEST ( type : Transactional ), then Create a new push subcriptions for database TESTREPLICATION ( on the same Server : TESTER). Then I open a table in database TEST to input some data but I couldn't see any tables or data in database TESTREPLICATION ( I chose Continuously, not scheduled).
Yet, after the lunch, I could see the tables, no data. I tried to choose Start Synchronizing but not helped.
Could someone please point me in the direction on where to look for info on how to: Replicate an MS SQL 6.5 tables on an Oracle 10.2.0 server every 5-10min?
Hi: In the publishing server, admin users could change and non-admin user password and also add login and drop login.
How could it happen to not only replicate the application database to subscriber server but also replicate the changes made in master database? So that the remote subscriber server will have the most current login updates?
When I'm using MS SQL transactional replication and select all the tables to be replicated, some of the tables are marked with the red cross signs and aren't being replicated. How do I include these tables into the MS SQL replication? I tried to build indexes and re-created publications, but it didn't work.
Hi all, I have done the replication its working good.Now i have created the new table in publisher. but i have created the same table in sub scription too. how can i replcate this new table..?
I have a db and I only really need the table structures and defined functions/procedures from the db. A small sample set would be nice from each table, but not necessary.
What would be the easiest way to accomplish this?
I'm getting the db from a server not connected to the new one so I either need to get the files and reattach or I need to just copy the structure/procedures in.
Trying to build an replication and subscription beteween db in SQL 2000. The db holds our business system (Dynamics NAV, earlier Navision) and several of the tables include $, spaces and even :
We can take some of this away when creating a new db or make scripts for some actions but I wonder if the mirroring in 2005 could handle this?
My environment are Win Vista, Ms sql 2005 express, Ms Sql Server Management studio express. I have a database Mysearchdb.mdf and want to replicate Myseachdb.mdf to another database with exact same features. What is the best way to do it? I don't want to create each tables, functions and store procedures manually. Thanks
I am relatively new to replication. I have a rather dumb question. I have two SQL Server databases, If i make a change in the first database schema, i want it to replicate to the second database. i dont want the data to replicate though. Is this possible?
We have transactional replication setup to replicate data from production across to a reporting server.
We want to ARCHIVE production, but don't want the ARCHIVE duplicated on the reporting server.
Does anyone know of a way that the reporting server can be stopped from replicating these changes, and continue to hold the FULL history of the database?
We would like to replicate from a SQL 7 DB some data onto a SQL 2000 Server running SQL 2000. We plan to take some data off the SQL 7 DB's and create a Data Warehouse on the SQL 2000 Box.
Question: Will the data replicate successfully from the SQL 7 box onto the SQL 2000 box?
