Replication - Dropping A Table
Nov 22, 2002
I'm new to replication and would like to know how to drop an article published for replication. I believe I need to follow these steps, but I am unsure.
Step (1)
exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = N'db name',
@article = N'article name',
@subscriber = 'subscriber name',
@destination_db = N'db name'
Step (2)
exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'db name',
@article = N'article name'
Step (3)
drop the article on the publisher
Step (4)
drop the article on the subscriber
Is this the correct sequence or am I missing something.
Thanks, Dave

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 am trying to delete a database that currently subscribes for replication. The problem however, is that the publishing server no longer exists and I can't disable the subscription therefore I can't drop the database. When I try to disable the replication the server tries to communicate with the old server. Is there anyway to force the dropping of the database or to force the server to disable replication.
thanks in advance

I am working on establishing a merge replication process between SQL Server 2005 and SQL Mobile 2005. I started with a new SQL Server 2005 instance and went through the Sample for SQL Mobile merge replication. So far so good.
Today, I tried to drop all support for replication on my current SQL 2005 test instance, so that I can start from a fresh instance and do another. I used Management Studio to drop all publisher and distribution settings and had several errors occur, where some roles were not allowed to be dropped because they had membership in them.
I dropped all the users that I added to the SQL logins and tried again.
Now I am trying to run the following script:
use AdventureWorks
exec sp_replicationdboption @dbname = N'AdventureWorks', @optname = N'merge publish', @value = N'false', @ignore_distributor = 'true'
-- Dropping the distribution publishers
exec sp_dropdistpublisher @publisher = N'XP-MIKED-LAPTOP'
GO
-- Dropping the distribution databases
use master
exec sp_dropdistributiondb @database = N'distribution'
GO
/****** Uninstalling the server XP-MIKED-LAPTOP as a Distributor. Script Date: 1/14/2006 2:16:29 PM ******/
use master
exec sp_dropdistributor @no_checks = 1, @ignore_distributor = 1
GO
The error I am getting from the first batch (sp_replicationdboption) is this:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmergepublishdb, Line 103
Invalid object name 'dbo.sysmergesubscriptions'.
To me it looks like all the publication objects have been already removed from AdventureWorks, but in sysdatabases, the category column still says 4 (merge publication). Since I can't just do this anymore:
UPDATE MASTER.DBO.SYSDATABASES
set category = 0
where dbid=8
I just don't know what I can do at this point. I can't even create a new publication in AdventureWorks because it thinks there is a sysmergepublications table in there and fails when there isn't.

I am trying to drop a primary key on column LID and then create a clustered index on a new identity column ID and then add the primary key back on the LID. I am not able to do so due the table being in replication. here is the error:
Cannot alter the table '' because it is being published for replication.
How do I get past the error and create the Clustered Index on ID column in both publisher and subscriber?

I am using a Stored procedure in which I am creating a table and dropping that table at the end of execution. This SP is calling every 10 second (but no concurrent access) from my application. Is there any issue using the drop table command in the SP? will it create any memory fragmentation issue in SQL server?

Hi Guys,
I am trying to DROP a table and recreate the table in a stored procedure and then I am trying to INSERT records into the newly created table in the same stored procedure.
I know I don't have to DROP the table, but I am trying to just get it to work. The process runs without error, but when I refresh the tables, the table I created isn't there. The T-SQL is as follows:
set ANSI_NULLS ON
set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ImportFilesPremier]
AS
DROP TABLE dbo.[PremierTest]
CREATE TABLE [PremierTest] (
[AYQ] nvarchar(6) null ,
[CYQ] nvarchar(6) null ,
[Description] nvarchar(50) null,
[PIP] [decimal] (17,2) ,
[BI] [decimal](17,2) Not null,
[PD] [decimal](17,2) Not null,
[COLL] [decimal](17,2) not null,
[COMP] [decimal](17,2) not null,
[DCRAT] [nvarchar](2) null ,
[Agent][nvarchar](3) null ,
) ON [PRIMARY]
begin transaction
insert into [PremierTest]
select *
from dbo.[new agt type tri 0804]
WHERE dir_ceded_ind = 'C'
commit transaction
Any information on how I can tweak my code so it works properly would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I made a constraint on a temporary table in a stored procedure but now i can't delete it.
Here's what happened:
I ran this in a stored procedure
CREATE TABLE #TeFotograferen (RowID int not null identity(1,1) Primary Key,Stamboeknummer char(11) ,Geldigheidsdatum datetime, CONSTRAINT UniqueFields UNIQUE(Stamboeknummer,Geldigheidsdatum)
next time i ran the stored procedure it gave me
There is already an object named 'UniqueFields' in the database.
but since the temporary table is out of scope i cannot delete the constraint
I tried
delete from tempdb..sysobjects where name = 'UniqueFields'
and
declare @name
set @name=(SELECT name from sysobjects where id=(Select parent_obj from sysobjects where name='UniqueFields'))
drop table @name
giving me
Ad hoc updates to system catalogs are not allowed.
or
Cannot drop the table '#TeFotograferen__________________________________ __________________________________________________ _________________000000000135', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.

Apologies if this has been answered before, but the "Search" function doesn't seem to be working on these forums the last couple of days.
I'd just like to check if a table already exists before dropping it so that I can avoid an error if it doesn't exist. Doing a web search, I've tried along the lines of
"If (object_id(sensor_stream) is not null) drop table sensor_stream"
and
"If exists (select * from sensor_stream) drop table sensor_stream"
In both of these cases I get the error: "There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 1,Token in error = if ]"
Sooooo... what is the standard way to check for existence of a table before dropping it? Someone help? This seems like it should be simple, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance!

How do I go about iterating through every table in my database and empty each table so they contain no data?
I don't want to drop the tables and re-create them either.
Thanks.

I have to load and unload many datatabases for testing. So I wanted to quickly remove a database, its devices and respective dat files
all at once.
Is there a way of completely dropping a database so that all trace of it is quickly gone?

In Microsoft SQL Server, I have a documents table and a table whichcategorizes the documents, which we'll call categories.I tried running UPDATE statements on the categories table previouslyand I ran into a foreign key constraint. The error given was "UPDATEstatement conflicted with COLUMN REFERENCE constraint FK..."So I got rid of the Foreign Key relationship, and tried running anUPDATE statement against the categories table again.I'm now getting the following message:'Cannot UPDATE "categories" because "documents" exists.'There must be something hanging around maintaining that relationship,but I'm not sure where it would be found.I was thinking about dropping the table and then adding it back again,but I'm not entirely sure what that would do.Any help is appreciated in advance.thanks,Geoff

I am trying to drop the "allow nulls" characteristics on an existing table
column. I know that there are not Nulls currently in this column, nor will
there ever be. How do I get rid of that "allow nulls" checkmark on an
existing table structure? Thanks, Craig.

I am finding it difficult to find an example that allows for insertion of additional rows into a table, without dropping the table I'm inserting into. Or inserting specific values. Like this example..
[URL] ....
I have 6 table I am formatting the data to conform to the final table as I'm inserting it into, but none of these examples gives me the example needed. I am using SQL 2012.
<code>
SELECT
CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),[FName]) + ' ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(50),[LName]) AS [CustName]
,CAST('ALARMCOM' as nvarchar(8)) as VendorName
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(25),[CUSTOMER_CS_ACCOUNT_NUMBER]) AS [Cust_ID]
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(40),[Charge_Description])as [ChargeType]
,CASE
[Code] ....

Hello everyone,I am involved in a scenario where there is a huge (SQL Server 2005)production database containing tables that are updated multiple timesper second. End-user reports need to be generated against the data inthis database, and so the powers-that-be came to the conclusion that areporting database is necessary in order to offload report processingfrom production; of course, this means that data will have to bereplicated to the reporting database. However, we do not need all ofthe data in the production database, and perhaps a filtering criteriacan be established where only certain rows are replicated over to thereporting database as they're inserted (and possibly updated/deleted).The current though process is that the programmers designing thequeries/reports will know exactly what data they need from productionand be able to modify the replication criteria as needed. For example,programmer A might write a report where the data he needs can beexpressed in a simple replication criteria for table T where column X= "WOOD" and column Y = "MAHOGANY". Programmer B might come along amonth later and write a report whose relies on the same table T wherecolumn X = "METAL" and column Z in (12, 24, 36). Programmer B willhave to modify Programmer A's replication criteria in such a way as toaccomodate both reports, in this case something like "Copy rows fromtable T where (col X = "WOOD" and col Y = "MAHOGANY") or (col X ="METAL" and col Z in (12, 24, 36))". The example I gave is reallytrivial of course but is sufficient to give you an idea of what thecurrent thought-process is.I assume that this is a requirement that many of you may haveencountered in the past and I am wondering what solutions you wereable to come up with. Personally, I believe that the above method isprone to error (in this case the use of triggers to specifyreplication criteria) and I'd much rather use replication services tocopy tables in their entirety. However, this does not seem to be anoption in my case due to the sheer size of certain tables. Is thereanything out there that performs replication based on complexprogrammer defined criteria? Are triggers a viable alternative? Anyalternative out-of-the-box solutions?Any feedback would be appreciated.Regards!Anthony

Is there a way we can prevent a object owner from dropping his tables. Example:
There is a user called 'tom' who is given create table permissions, 'tom' creates the table completes his dev and then the table is moved into production where 'tom' is still the owner. However, in production, 'tom' does not have the create table privs. Because 'tom' is the owner of the table, he is still able to drop the table in production. This is what I am trying to avoid. I would like to retain 'tom' as the owner and want to take away his create/drop privs.

Looking for suggestions.
I have a database that is giving me a bad Index error. When I go to drop the necessary Index it is telling me that it either does not exist or cannot be dropped. However when I try to build that index, it tells me one already exists.
Is there any way to drop all of the indexes or at the very least see what the indexes are? This particular database is using 2005 Express.
Any help would be great!

How to remove the constraints on a table in sql server 2000? I need to drop the column, so i need to drop the constraint before that.
Alter Table Table_Name NO CHECK constraints ALL.
Once I execute the above one, it says, "Successfully Executed" but when I try to drop it doesnt allow me and gives me the following error:
Server: Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'DF_Users_Created_by' is dependent on column 'CREATED_BY'.
Server: Msg 4922, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN CREATED_BY failed because one or more objects access this column.
Any ideas?

I think the answer to this question will be something like 'you'll have to re-initialize the subscribers', but I need to ask anyway...
I created a publication where my foreign key constraint we NOT created with NOT FOR REPLICATION. My publication is configured to replicate DDL changes. Is there any way I can drop and re-create the constraint in the publisher and get replication to push the change to the subscribers?
Thanks for your help
Graham
