Replication Field Size Error

Apr 24, 2006

Hi,

I have been running a merge publication & 4-5 subscriber all running perfectly good, but today I started getting this error below? I generated a new dynamic snapshot and re init the subscriber, but still the same. I synchronized the other subscribers and they are all running with no errors, even after a init. I.E. I would think this is data related, to this subscriber, but I have no further ideas how to track it down?

any ideas?

Regards

Gert Cloete

To obtain an error file with details on the errors encountered when initializing the subscribing table, execute the bcp command that appears below. Consult the BOL for more information on the bcp utility and its supported options.





End of file reached, terminator missing or field data incomplete





Field size too large





The process could not bulk copy into table '"dbo"."MSmerge_contents"'.

The merge process was unable to deliver the snapshot to the Subscriber. If using Web synchronization, the merge process may have been unable to create or write to the message file. When troubleshooting, restart the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write.

SQL Server 2008 :: Replication Error - Field Size Too Large

Feb 1, 2011

I've got two databases on the same server and replicate some tables from one database to another.The replication is configured so not to drop the table if it exists, but to delete the data based on the filter if one exists. There are two tables on the subscriber that have some extra columns.

I get "field size too large" error when trying to replicate them. Is there a workaround without having to make the publisher and the subscriber tables identical by schema?

Integration Services :: Error While Changing Field Size

Sep 10, 2015

I am loading from SQL Server 2008 to Access 2010 using SSIS. One of the columns in the table I am loading into is a Number datatype and Fieldsize is long integer. The values are being truncated, so I want to change the Fieldsize to DOUBLE.  However, when I do that I receive the error below. What should I do? I would like not to change my Windows registry.

This error can be caused by one of the following:

The maximum number of columns allowed in a table or the maximum number of locks for a single file is exceeded.

The indexed property of a field is changed from Yes (Duplicates OK) to Yes (No Duplicates) when duplicate data exists in the table.

An expression is not specified in the Expression property of a calculated field. 

If the maximum number of locks per file was exceeded, you can increase the number by editing a registry entry. However, this is not a recommended option.

If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you could cause serious problems that require you to reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Make a backup of the registry. Find the MaxLocksPerFile registry value by using the Windows Registry Editor, and then increase the value. The MaxLocksPerFile value is saved as part of the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOffice14.0Access Connectivity EngineEnginesACE

If the Indexed property of a field and duplicate data is located in the table, reset the Indexed property to the previous setting, or remove duplicate records from the table.

While I was loading to the same table a few days ago, I received a warning and the task took approx 9 hours. I am attaching the screen shot.

Error - Output Param - SP - Size Property Has An Invalid Size Of 0

Nov 14, 2007

Using C#, SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET 2, in a web app, I've tried removing the size from parameters of type NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and VARCHAR.  I'd rather just send a string and let the size of the parameter in the SP truncate any extra chars if need be. I began getting the error below, and eventually realized it happened only with output parameters, as in the code snippet below.String[3]: the Size property has an invalid size of 0.   par = new SqlParameter("@BusinessEntity", SqlDbType.NVarChar);  par.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;  cmd.Parameters.Add(par);  cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();What's the logic behind this? Is there any way around it other than either finding out what the size should be, or assigning a size larger than would ever be needed? ThanksMike Thomas

Size To Specify For Varchar(Max) Field

Mar 23, 2008

After reading Dan Guzman's blog entry (http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/dang/archive/2008/02/21/Dont-Bloat-Proc-Cache-with-Parameters.aspx) I started modifying some of my code to try it out and ran into a stumbling block. What size would you specific for a varchar(MAX) field?
Since a varchar max field can hold up to 2 billion chracters I really don't think I need to specify 2 billion as the size. Anyone have any ideas?

MSDE Max Field Size?

Mar 28, 2005

Hi,

I have MSDE installed on my computer and I'm using Web Data Administrator to manage my databses. The problem is that whenever I add a column with a length of more than 8000, I get the following error:

Length must be between 0 and 8000

If I create the column programmatically then i get this error:

The following error occured while executing the query:
Server: Msg 131, Level 15, State 2, Line 2
The size (8005) given to the column 'Article' exceeds the maximum allowed for any data type (8000).

I need several columns that can hold around
32,000 characters. What's the deal? Is this a limit with MSDE, or am I
missing something?

Thanks

Field Size Too Large

May 9, 2008

I have set up transaction replication between two databases. Data from a table in the first database is replicated to the same table in another database.

The table at the publisher already has some data in it. The table at the subscriber is empty. When the replication is synchronizing, I get the following errors in the replication monitor:
*The process could not bulk copy into table "dbo"."virtualdatalocations_waitingqueues". (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL20037) Get help: http://help/MSSQL_REPL20037
*Field size too large

The table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE virtualdatalocations_waitingqueues (
dataid int ,
personid int ,
queueid int ,
CONSTRAINT FK_vw_dataid
FOREIGN KEY(dataid) REFERENCES datalocations(id) ON DELETE CASCADE ,
CONSTRAINT FK_vw_personid
FOREIGN KEY(personid) REFERENCES persons(id),
CONSTRAINT FK_vw_queueid
FOREIGN KEY(queueid)REFERENCES waitingqueues(id)
);

It used to run fine in the past. I couldn't find any help on google or on forums.

Any help or comments are greatly appreciated.

What Size To Make The Binary Field?

Jul 12, 2006

Hi,
I have asked this question on 3 forums now and never get an answer, I don't know what is so hard about this question but I will try it here.
I am using SHA512 in C# to convert a password and its salt to hashed. I need to store the password hash and the salt hash in the database in two fields. I was told to use binary field to store the hash data and that the output of SHA512 would ALWAYS be the same no matter how long the password is.
I modified this hash example to use only SHA512 and to work with byte array instead of plain text.
All I need to know now is what size I need to make my binary field to hold this password that is hashed.
http://www.obviex.com/samples/Code.aspx?Source=HashCS&Title=Hashing%20Data&Lang=C%23
Say I have a password which is 30 characters max, and a salt which is 16 characters max. The password and the hash are stored in seperate fields in the same table. They are both hashed using SHA512 and are both being stored as byte arrays in C#, what size to I need to make the binary data type in order to hold the password, and to hold the salt.
Thanks!

Min Output Size For Queried Field

Oct 12, 2007



I have a select statement that is being processed through oSql on Sql Server 2000. There are 2 fields in the select statement that are defined in the dateabase as nvarchar(1). When I perform my select statement, they show up in the output as 4 char fields. See dataset below for example.

How do I get rid of the extra spaces in the output? I have tried using ltrim(rtrim(fielde)) to no avail. Fieldg (the S) is a nullable field and is being processed using an isnull(filedg, ' ').

The general statement is:

Select fielda, fieldb, fieldc, ltrim(rtrim(fieldd)), fielde, fieldf, isnull(fieldg, ' '), filedh from mytable

The functioality can be replicated using:

Select 'a', 'b'

---- ----
a b
(1 row(s) affected)


Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Parameters Input Field Size

Hi,



is it possible to change the appearence of input fields for parameters on the report server? My parameter is Multi-value with quite large amount of available values. On report server, user can (without scrolling) see only the first value. Parameter values are quite long, so user has to move alternally with both vertical and horizontal scrollbars to find the right value.

Replication Row Commit Size

Is there a way to get replication to commit records in batches instead of all at once?? I am in a 24/7 shop and some of my updates end up being thousands of rows and it locks the subscriber table for a few minutes sometimes. If I could get it to commit say every 1000 rows it might give me some relief in this area..

Or am I thinking about this wrong?? If this is possible, would it help at all...

Merge Replication Subscription Doubles In Size

Jan 29, 2008

I made a DDL change to a published table. To do this, I had to remove the table from the article, modify two field sizes, save the table, and then add the table back to the publication. I did have to rerun the snapshot agent after this even though the new article is exactly the same (yes, I understand all rowguids are dropped and recreated).


So, at the subscription, I begin synchronization and it replicates every article, thus doubling the size of the subscription .sdf file. yes, it can be compacted and it cuts it back in half.

Question is how to prevent this behavior? Is it possible to create the rowguid before publishing the table/article and that way even if you go back and make a schema change that requires republishing you can avoid the nasty behavior of producing a new snapshot and and a doubling of subscription database size?

This particular merge publication is read-only. Every article is marked as 'download only.'

Ideally if schema change is needed to one table, I only want that table/article to require reinitialization.
Actually, if its a simple change like expanding a varchar by some chars I'd like to not have to republish the article at all.
keep dreaming?

SQL 2005 Mobile Merge Replication Size Limits?

Feb 8, 2006

I am in the process of testing a SQL 2005 Std x64 server with merge replication using Windows Mobile 5.0 clients and SQL 2005 Mobile. The test DB is a copy of the currently active DB, but has been expanded to include some new tables to support planned application functionality extensions.

Once the publication exceeds 97 Articles, the error is thrown that "The buffer pool is too small or there are too many open cursors". If I drop one article everything is fine. I ran a test with dummy DB that had 100 blank tables, and this initialized just fine on the client. The additional articles I am publishing (the 98th table) is also empty, but it throws the error anyway.

Is there a limit on the total size/number of changes that can be sent? Since I have run tests sending over 64,000 changes to a client during initialization this does not seem to be the case (I am only attempting a little more than 9,700 changes on this initialization).

Some other ideas that have been tested without success are to stop the user triggers from propagating, and toggling the AWE setting for SQL. The Replication Monitor does say the client completes replication, and it seems to choke at the very end of completing replication when it attempts to write to the tracking tables. The last successful action is sys.sp_MSadd_merge_history90, and it appears to be acting on the last table added to the publication.

There does not appear to be a limit on the number or articles, since I can publish more articles in a dummy DB than I am able here, so it seems to be something to do with size. Any information would be helpful, this is a very frustrating issue. Thanks!

Informix Date Type Field To SQL Server Datetime Field Error

Oct 17, 2007



I am trying to drag data from Informix to Sql Server. When I kick off the package
using an OLE DB Source and a SQL Server Destination, I get DT_DBDATE to DT_DBTIMESTAMP
errors on two fields from Informix which are date data ....no timestamp part

I tried a couple of things:

Created a view of the Informix table where I cast the date fields as datetime year to fraction(5), which failed.

Altered the view to convert the date fields to char(10) with the hopes that SQL Server would implicitly cast them
as datetime but it failed.

What options do I have that will work?

Field Or Row Replication

Nov 7, 2007

Hi All,
A general question for you.
Does QSL replication work on a row by row basis or field by field.
e.g.
One user updates a field in row a on his table
a different user updates a different field on the same row (row a) on his table 10 secs later.

Does the first user's chnage get overwritten or will both chnages be kept?
Which model would I need for this?
Thanks
