SQL2000 used to send a 2 part update using sp_msdel followed by sp_msins instead of just calling sp_msupd. I thought this used to happen on tables with compostie primary keys. Does any know know if this still occurs in SQL2005 and maybe why?
View 1 RepliesThanks everyone for being helpful. I am new to SQL Server and don't have many coworkers so I am relying heavily on this forum's help.
It seems the previous poster on this issue was able to work it out but I am still not able to get it to work.
I have tried using the server URL, the server machine name, the ipaddress with alias, but still cannot connect with the replication over vpn. Any ideas?
Also, how can I set the subscriber from the server? How do I refer to the subscriber machine? Let's say it is my pc that I want to make changes in and have them replicate to the server? When I specify a pull subscription I am not show how to refer to my computer.

Newbie here.
How would I do the following update?
I have over 100,000 rows and want to knock the first two characters off one of the columns in each row.
i.e. currently have
pcdocsvariousvarious
and want this to read
docsvariousvarious
I just need to remove the first two characters "pc".

Database is in simple recovery mode, and published with transaction replication push subscription, just one subscriber but the database is huge. I don't want to overwrite the schema at the subscriber either.
I had to run an alter database command on a published database, it created so many logs that an extra drive had to be added along with an extra log file to accommodate all the logs.
The problem I have is I'd like to know clear the file of logs so I can drop the temporary log file, and give the drive back, but I cannot.
I have tried dbcc shrinkfile with the emptyfile option but it never clears, I have also tried it with notruncate and truncateonly options (mainly out of desperation).
I do not need to worry about point in time restore as a full backup is taken before and after the operation. After which the database will be put back into Full recovery mode.
I have looked at log_reuse_wait_desc and the file says 'Replication', so I am now thinking the file cannot empty because replication is keeping one of the VLFs active. I tried dropping and recreating the subscription hoping it might free something up and I could get somewhere, but it made no difference.
Do I have to remove replication completely to get round this? Surely not.
I have also tried putting the database back into full recovery mode, doing a full DB backup, and a transaction log backup, but its made no difference, which is also what makes me think a portion of the log is still active because of replication, and perhaps the transactions have not gone through to the subscriber, which raises another question, why not?
I have not tried restarting SQL server, as I'd like to know a way out of this without having to do that, plus I do not think it would make any difference anyway.
Hi there,
We're going to use replication on our database. There are tables without any primary key.
Is a primary key necessary for replication?
I have also antoher question: We want to replicate the whole OLTP database (size 30 GB).
Is snapshot replication a suitable mechanisme for this? I thougt snapshot replication overwrites all of the data, not only changed data. Or should we use another replication method?
Thanks in advance,

I need to merge data between two sql2005 servers. Could you let me know how I can do that step by step.

Hi there SQLTEAM
I have a situation; one of our clients requested us to start investigating SQL replication.
The Publisher would be the client's server running SQL7
And we would be the subscriber running SQL 2005
Can this be done?
Are there any pro's and con's on even trying replications between SQL 2005 and SQL7
If this is possible could someone be so kind as to point me to a step by step guide and how to achieve this.
I have a distributor setup on SQL Server 2005 (9.0.3042) and am trying to create a publication on SQL Server 2000 (8.0.2040) which receives the following error in my production environment:
Msg 8526, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_addpublication, Line 802
Cannot go remote while the session is enlisted in a distributed transaction that has an active savepoint.
The interesting part of this equation is that I was able to get this to work without error in my DEV (development) environment and well as my QAT (test) environment. This end result was that my distributor was SQL 2005, my publisher was SQL 2000 and my pull subscriber was SQL 2005. I have been diligently comparing our production environment to my other environment and have yet to find differences.
Has anyone else seen an error similiar to this? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Max
I want to replicate from SQL2000 to SQL2005. I had configured distributor, publisher in SQL2000 and also subscriber in SQL2005. But so far no replication was done on SQL2005. I wonder SQL2000 (SP2) and SQL2005 replication will it work? Is it true that I should install Service Pack 3 and above in order to replicate my database to SQL2005.
Thanks

Hello,
I have setup sql 2005 transactional replication system with three machines (publisher, distributor and subscriber). Couple weeks later, publisher with publications is disconnected from replication monitor (under My Publishers €“ show X on the publisher machine name). I didn€™t change any things. Can you help for this please?
Thank you for any help!!
Hi there.
There is publication with two articles with master-detail relationship.
It is very important when syncronization process start to syncronize master table first.
How can I control the order of syncronization (customized)?
Thanks.
Hi All,
I like to know that in SQL2005 how many replication sides we can create for the same database. Can we create more that one are only one for each database.

2: SQL2005 Enterprize version database
Thanks
I have a database that is about 300 gig. I am setting up replication to a reporting server. We are doing a series or mock loads and I will need drop the tables and reload the main database a few times before we go live. To do that I plan to stop replication and drop all the articles, drop the subscription, then load the new data, then reinitialize and restart replication.
The first time I tried to do this, when I drop the articles, it seems to be trying to "clean up" the distribution database on the reporting server and that is taking a couple of hours to do. The disruption database is about 40 gig.
Is this correct behavior in SQL2005 replication? Is there a way to avoid this? I have all the replication pieces scripted out and would like to just drop replication, reload, and then run my scripts to recreate replication. But this "clean up" is going to cause me a lot of headache if I don't figure out what is going on.
Am I going down the wrong road here? Is there an easier way to do this? Any comments would be great!!!!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I am investigating the feasibility of a configuration with 3 databases on SQL2005
DB_A is an OLTP database and serves up transactional publication pub_txn - with updateable subscriptions
DB_B is a subscriber database which subscribes to pub_txn
DB_B is also a publisher which serves up merge publication pub_merge
DB_C is a subscriber database which pulls pub_merge
===============================
Updates on DB_A are successfully replicated to DB_B
Howvever, when DB_C pulls updates, it doesn't find the update sent to DB_B
===============================
Updates on DB_B are successfully replicated to both DB_A and DB_C
===============================
Updates on DB_C initially failed with the error
Msg 916, Level 14, State 1, Procedure trg_MSsync_upd_course_type, Line 0
The server principal "repllinkproxy" is not able to access the database
"DB_C" under the current security context.
I then changed the login repllinkproxy to be a db_owner in DB_C
I now get the error
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_check_sync_trigger, Line 23
Invalid object name 'dbo.MSreplication_objects'.
=================================
I have three questions as a result
1) Is there anything fundamentally wrong with what I am trying to achieve?
2) Why is update on DB_A not reaching DB_C
3) Why can't I update DB_C?
Any suggestions gratefully received

Hi
I have the following problem (on 2 PC's now)
On 1 pc i installed VS2008 besides VS2005 and SQL 2005 (before i installed VS2008 everything was fine)
On the other is a fresh installed XP machine with only VS2008 SQL2550 and Office2007
Latets service packs are installed
On both machines when i open a table in SQL 2005 with the 'open table' command the show of the table is very slow.
Every row is updated file by field, the grid is not showing, the row and column headers are not 'grey' as normal.
Scrollign is impossible as the screen updates start again that slow.
Even a small table with 10 rows and 15 field behaves this slow. Its not workable.
What can be done to resove this???

I am in the process of moving a SQL2000 database to a SQL2005 database.
Porting from: SQL200, Windows Server 2000(SP4) (32 bit dual processor 4GB RAM)
to:SQL2005, Windows Server 2003(SP1) (x64 bit dual processor 4GB RAM)
After porting the database from SQL2000 to SQL2005 (no changes)
I then compare an update statement running from Management Studio on the 2003 Server and and Query analiser on the 2000
Server.
SQL2000 completes the command in 2 minutes SQL2005 is still running after 60 minutes.
SQL2000 is the live/production system with users connected, the SQL2005 is in a test environment with no other processors
running.
The SQL2005 activity monitor shows:
-----------------------------------
3 suspended processes in CXPACKET wait state and
2 runnable process high CPU counts (SQLServer running at 100% cpu).
All processes with the same Process ID.
Wait time is 0
High CPU counts for the runnable processes.
Low physical IO
No lock conflicts
When I add the "option (maxdop 1)" to the update statment then:
The activity monitor shows:
---------------------------
1 runnable process with a high CPU count (SQLServer running at 50% cpu).
Wait time is 0
High CPU count for the runnable processe.
Low physical IO
No lock conflicts
How do I debug this situation?
Why is the SQL2005 unable to complete the task?
The update statement is as follows...

Hi all.
I need your help.
I create a linked server on SQL 2005 server using IBMDA400 as provider.
I create a VBscript to update some data on DB2, and issue begin trans and commit trans. Kindly refer to below code.

Set oKCDat = CreateObject("KCDAT.kcdatapi")
Set objConnection = oKCDat.OpenConnection_SQL(strDataSource,strDB, strUserID, strPassword)
Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strName = "TEST1"
strTemp1 = "2"
strTemp2 = "3"
intTemp1 = 199
strSQLStatement = "SELECT * FROM QS36F.TEST WHERE PRACNM = ''" & strName & "''"
strUpdSQL = "TEST1 = '" & strTemp1 & "', TEST2 = '" & strTemp2 & "', TEST3 = " & intTemp1
strSQL = "UPDATE OPENQUERY(TESTDB2," & "'" & strSQLStatement & "')" & " SET " & strUpdSQL & ";"
objConnection.BeginTrans
objConnection.Execute(strSQL)
objConnection.CommitTrans
objConnection.Close
Set rs = Nothing
Set oKCDat = Nothing
Set objConnection = Nothing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When i run above script, it prompt me an error message;
"Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
The requested operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "IBMDA400" for linked server "TESTDB2" does not support the required transaction interface."
If i run it without "begintrans" and "committrans", it update the data successfully.
Does anyone know about it?
Highly appreciated for above matters.

I have SSRS 2005 SP2 configured to work in Sharepoint integration. Everything works fine except that I am not able to programmatically change any property of report viewer web part (instance) that I have added on on home page of my sharepoint site.
I can do same thing via sharepoint UI but not through program. When my programs runs it fetches all web parts been added on home page, then I need to iterate through each one and find report viewer web part.
While iterating, as soon as I arrive to report viewer web part it is named as "Error web part" with error message as
"Windows SharePoint Services cannot deserialize the Web Part. Check the format of the properties and try again"
If someone has a solution, please respond at your earlist.

I have a table with a column named measurement decimal(18,1). If the value is 2.0, I want the stored proc to return 2 but if the value is 2.5 I want the stored proc to return 2.5. So if the value after the decimal point is 0, I only want the stored proc to return the integer portion. Is there a sql function that I can use to determine what the fraction part of the decimal value is? In c#, I can use
dr["measurement "].ToString().Split(".".ToCharArray())[1] to see what the value after the decimal is.
I have made the following Scalar-valued function:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[TimeCalc]
(
@OriginalTime AS INTEGER
, @TenthsOrHundredths AS INTEGER -- code 2: 1/10, code 4: 1/100
)
RETURNS NVARCHAR(8)
[Code] ....
What it does is convert numbers to times
E.g.: 81230 gets divided by 10 (times in seconds: 8123). This 1 1 full minute, and the remainder = 2123 making it 1.21.23 mins)
So far so good (function works perfectly)
My question: sometimes times are in 1/100 (like above sample), sometimes in 1/10.
This means that, e.g. with a time like 3.23.40 the last zero must be deleted.
My thoughts are to use the results from the Return Case part, and as the code = 4: leave it as it is,
is the code 2 the use LEFT(... result Return Case ..., Len(..result Return Case.. - 1))
There are 5 codes: 0 1 2 3 and 4

Hi!
I have an original database that I want to copy once to another database. Then I want to update the data weekly with the data of the original database. I don€™t change any tables or columns in that part of the database. Just some tables more in the €˜new€™ database (than the tables from the original database) with some references to the tables that have to be updated weekly.
How can I do this? (if you know what I mean... it's a sort of a datawarehouse where different sources come together.. that part that represents the original database is just a part of the datawarehouse. That part is exactly the same structure as the original database.)
Thanks,
Sandra

I just upgraded my SQL 2000 server to SQL2005. I forked out all that money, and now it takes 4~5 seconds for a webpage to load. You can see for yourself. It's pathetic. When I ran SQL2000, i was getting instant results on any webpage. I can't find any tool to optimize the tables or databases. And when I used caused SQL Server to use 100% cpu and 500+MB of ram. I can't have this.Can anyone give me some tips as to why SQL 2005 is so slow?

Hi,
I use a Snapshot Replication. I want to update the tablestructure (add a column or delete a relation), but without
update the data in the table.
I use the following Properties:
- Article - propertie: "Delete Data in the existing table that matches the row filter statement"
- Row - Filter: "... WHERE id < 0" (no rows returns with this condition)
I create an Initial Snapshot and apply it to my Subscriber, but the table - structur dont change.
Has the Replication a other way to do this?

Hi, I'am using several SQL 2000 servers with different working merge-replications. Actually I wrote a .NET assembly which makes updates to key values in one of the replicated tables:
Ex:
update ReplTable set key = -key where key between (1 and 100)
Loop
......
update ReplTable set key = NewKey where key = ....
end of loop
Intention is to resort the datarows. So I made two updates to every keyvalue in a very short time. At the ConflictViewer I got messages like:
"The row was inserted at 'ServerX' but could not be inserted at 'ServerY'. Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_xxxx. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'ReplTable'. "
The replication did only deliver one (the last) update - this makes the violation. Is there a possibility to make the mergeagent known that I wanted to deliver every transaction? Is there a parameter in the agents profile?
I am unable to install 32-bit SQL Server Integration Services on the server due to something that was left behind by the 64-bit version.

I can't seem to figure out how to resolve this problem with the COM+ and I can't remember if Integration Services is required.
Can anybody please advise?
