I'm having a problem with merge replication. Â My publisher and subscriber are SQL 2008 SP1, and my distributor is SQL 2008 R2. Â Currently, there is no access to the subscriber data aside from the replication agents, so there are no data changes going on there, data is only being modified on the Publisher. Â My plan was to get everything setup and do some internal testing before releasing the subscriber for use.
View 4 RepliesHi All;
I am trying to set up Merge Replication on a database and want to set the IdentityRange Management to Auto for all my tables which use a Identity column.
In the wizard, on Article Properties Page, I can do this by selecting a Table, and going for its properties, but this is a tedious task as I have ~300 tables to set this property on.
Is there another way or a global location where I can set the property to true and even mention the ranges and the threshold, so that I dont have to pick each table and set it individually.
I am also aware of the fact that I can Generate a Script and modify it and run that, but I was looking for some way to do this in the wizard.
Thanks!
Hello all,
I am just beginning to get into replication and have a couple questions for the experts.
When I set up replication (transactional with queued updates), the default identity range was set to 10,000 for the publisher and 1,000 for the subscriber. I understand that if I try to insert 1,100 records at the subscriber, I will get an error saying that the identity range has been exhausted and I need to run sp_adjustpublisheridentityrange on the publisher and the Distribution Agent for the subscriber.
My questions are:
Why wouldn€™t someone increase the identity range to a very large number, just in case something happens and the publisher/subscriber link is broken for an extended period of time? What are the ramifications to a larger identity range?
Since identity range management is done by the distributor, what happens if the distributor goes down? Do the publisher and subscribers receive errors when they fill their current ranges?
Thanks,
Jarret
Hello,I'm getting the following error message when I try add a row using aStored Procedure."The identity range managed by replication is full and must be updatedby a replication agent".I read up on the subject and have tried the following solutionsaccording to MSDN without any luck.(http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/304706 )sp_adjustpublisheridentityrange (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa239401(SQL.80).aspx ) has no effectFor Testing:I've reloaded everything from scratch, created the pulications from byrunning the sql scripts generated,created replication snapshots andstarted the agents.I've checked the current Identity values in the Agent Table:DBCC CHECKIDENT ('Agent', NORESEED)Checking identity information: current identity value '18606', currentcolumn value '18606'.I check the Table to make sure there will be no conflicts with theprimary key:SELECT AgentID FROM Agent ORDER BY AgentID DESC18603 is the largest AgentID in the table.Using the Table Article Properties in the Publications PropertiesDialog, I can see values of:Range Size at Publisher: 100,000Range Size at Subscribers: 100New range @ percentage: 80In my mind this means that the Publisher will assign a new range whenthe Current Indentity value goes over 80,000?The Identity range for this table cannot be exhausted! I'm not surewhat to try next.Please! any insight will be of great help!Regards,Bm

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.
Replication Type: Transactional With Updateable Subscriptions
SQL Server Version: SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition
Publisher, Subscriber1 and Subscriber2 all on same SQL Server
Problem: I am trying to set up a transactional replication with two updateable subscriptions. All three databases are a carbon copy of each other. Every table to be replicated contains an identity key column. I've been asked to create the replication without assigning separate identity ranges for the publisher and the updateable subscriptions. In other words they want a continous ID range. Can this be done without managing identity ranges programatically outside of SQL Server itself?
Example:
Publisher inserts into table test1 in database1. This creates ID 100 for the record. ID 100 replicates to Subscriber1 (database2) and Subscriber2 (database3).
Subscriber1 and 2 identity seeds are then incremented to ID 100. So far, all three databases have the same identity seed in table test1. Subscriber1 inserts into table test1 in database2. This creates ID 101 for the record. ID 101 is replicated to Subscriber2 (database3) and to the publisher (database1).
Subscriber2 identity seed is then incremented to ID 101. However, the Publisher retains it's original identity seed of 100.
Insert into Publisher table test1 will fail since it will try to insert the identity seed of 101 which is taken.
I have tried identity range management Automatic and Manual. Both seem to have some limitations in managing identity seeds unless different identity ranges are assigned for publisher and subscriber.
Can someone recommend a solution to this problem? Can this be done natively in SQL Server 2005 replication. Or can some recommend another approach to make this work?
I have an MS SQL Server table with a Job Number field I need this field to start at a certain number then auto increment from there. Is there a way to do this programatically or within MSDE?
Thanks, Justin.

Hello,
I am working on an accounting system using VB.NET and sql server 2005 as a database. the application should be used by multiple users.
i have a the following structure:
Voucher: ID (primary), Date,TypeID, ReferenceCode, .....
Type: ID, Code, Name. (the user can add new type anytime!)
(Ex: PV- payment voucher, JV - Journal Voucher ,....)
When adding a voucher the user will choose a type, according to this type (for each year) a counter will be increminted.
for example: PV1, PV2....PV233,... the other type will have its separate counter JV1, JV2 ,...JV4569,..
I am using the sqlTransaction cause i am doing other operations that should be transactional with the insertion of the Voucher.
The question is :
What is the best solution to generate a counter for each type?(With code sample)
Thanks.
My Identity value column is not autoincrementing, its seed is set to 1, and increment set to 1.
yet when i click the auto generated 'Add New Record' button in the BindingNavigator control set (in a form where it is populated with databound text boxes), this Identity column is not auto incremented?
And if i try to write a value to this column, i get the error telling me this column cannot be written to. Yet if i do not write to it, then i get "This column does not allow nulls"
To load my data i am using:
Code Snippet
'clear dataset
Me.DsQuote.Clear()
'fill the datagrid with data from tblQuoteID
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DsQuote.tblQuoteID)
and to save data im using:
Code Snippet
Me.Validate()
'end data edit
Me.TblQuoteIDBindingSource.EndEdit()
'update the dataset with table data
Me.TblQuoteIDTableAdapter.Update(DsQuote.tblQuoteID)
anything im doing wrong? this data is being viewed in a datagrid btw.
cheers
I need to import some data into a table that is in a merge bi-directional publication. The table has an identity column that is being "auto managed". The ID numbers I need to import are not within any of the assigned "ranges". They are less than any of the current ranges.
Turning ident_insert on does not work because of the check constraints error. The merge replication triggers validate the ID range as well.
Edit: using SQL 2005 standard publisher and subsciber. Publication is 2005.
Hi,
I have an auto incrementing int column setup which serves as my unique primary key. Just wondering what happens when the auto increment reaches the limit? Will it recycle numbers from the begining (who's rows have obviously been deleted by this stage)?
Hi,
I have the following two tables:
Code:
create table RECORD
(
ID int not null,
Issue_descr varchar(256) not null,
Priority varchar(5) not null,
Status varchar(12) not null,
Date_add varchar(10) not null,
Date_due varchar(10) not null,
Date_complete varchar(10),
PName varchar(32),
primary key(ID),
foreign key(PName) references PROJECT(PName)
);
and
Code:
create table STEPS
(
ID int not null,
Num int not null,
Descr varchar(256),
Date_due varchar(10) not null,
Date_complete varchar(10),
Status varchar(12),
primary key(ID, Num),
foreign key(ID) references RECORD(ID)
);
I have set PK "ID" in table RECORD to auto identity(1,1). I have done the same for PK "num" in table STEPS.
However I am seeking this behavior in STEPS:
ID num
-- ----
19 1
19 2
19 3
20 1
20 2
21 1
but what I'm getting is PK num doesn't "reseed" or reset to 1 as "ID" changes. PK num just auto-increments regardless of ID. Is there a workaround?
Thanks.
I'm a bit new to SQL Server, but here is the problem I am trying to getaround:1. I have lets say an Employee table where the emp_id is an identitycolumn that is auto assigned by the db.2. I wish to insert values into the tables, but sometimes I may wish touse the value of the emp_id that i supply while inserting (andsometimes not).Is there any way in MS SQL to do this? For e.g. is it setup like aconstraint that I can temporarily drop. I do not want to alter thetable, so that option is ruled out.Any other ways to do this (I know bcp is one of them that allows me todo this, but looking for ways in the db itself using SQL if possible)Thanks,Bharat
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am migrating a web application I wrote from ASP to ASP.Net, and fromAccess to MS SQL server.In the Access version, I did not use the auto number for creatinginvoices and other documents, because I heard somewhere (perhapsincorrectly) that if the db was ever compacted or otherwise changed,it could change the values of the auto-numbers. Not a good thing.So I wrote a routine that, just before creating a new record, wouldlook for the highest value in the table and create the new record withthe next number.So my question is, am I safe in assuming that in MS SQL that I can seta starting number for the next, let's say, invoice and that newnumbers will be issued in sequence, and that these numbers will neverchange? What happens if an invoice is deleted? is the number goneforever? Just wondering how others deal with these issues...thanks.Larry- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

Is there a recommended way of doing this?

Need help on the Auto Number or Identity Seed on the Oracle DatabaseI got an Access database that need to be converted to Oracle 9i.Somehow the Trigger we created to simulate the "AUTO NUMBER" on Accesscould not create the sequence number as soon as the value has beeninserted. The sequence number can only be created after we go to thesecond line. Please see the trigger below.Is there anyway we could create a trigger that could create thesequence number as soon as we enter a value?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOk, let's say that I do a following inline INSERT statement.....
INSERT INTO Car ( carMake, carModel ) VALUES ( 'Honda', 'S2000' )
When I do this, a carId int value will automatically be generated because it is the Car table's PK and is an int identity. How do I obtain this value so I can immediately use it in let's say, the following example.
INSERT INTO Person ( carId ) VALUES ( @carId ) ..... where @carId is the value I need
Maybe you would say I should do something like.....
SELECT carId FROM Car WHERE carMake = 'Honda' AND carModel = 'S2000'
However, let's assume that the carMake and the carModel fields are NOT unique. I'm sure there's an easy way to extract the new identity value (maybe even in the same query) as the INSERT, but I just don't know how.
Thanks.

This problem is about replication
I have a publisher and a few suscribers running with sql 2003
I use automatic range handling to manage some identity columns in some tables
How can I manually modify the value of the next range that the publisher will assign to the next suscriber that need a range?
I have a merge replication in place. I increased the identity_range to 100000 for a table. I have done this both ways, via the properties of the publication on SSMS, and via TSQL. I have call sp_adjustpublisheridentityrange. Then I recreated the sanpshot.  EXEC sp_adjustpublisheridentityrange @table_name = N'Label', @table_owner = N'caseup';but after synchronization, the range defined in the table's constraint has not changed and now all of the identity values are used up. All inserts are failing.What needs to be done to force the publisher to recreate the identity range on a subscriber(s).
