Replication - Should I Set The Primary Key To 'No'?
Feb 5, 2003Hello:
If I would like to do Transactional Replication - do I set the Primary Key in the Table to
Identity = 'No'
Identity = 'Yes' or
Identity = 'Yes (Not for Replication)'

Replication - Primary Keys
May 17, 2001Hi,
Just a continuation to my earlier queries on replication.
I have a db which I want to replicate - it do not have pk?
I do not want to create pk on existing columns - so I thought of creating one more column in all the tables and make them pk .
Any one has any idea if this will work fine or may give any problem which I should be prepare for.
Any thought appreciated -

Primary Key Columns Issues In Replication
May 29, 2007Hi ,
Plz help me.
The scenario is as follows
I have a db on sql server 2005.I have replicated the db on sql server 2000.All the data counts seems to be correct.But the online websites are not able to execute queries generating error(Microsoft OLE DB Provider for sql server error '80040e21'.Multiple step OLE DB operation generated errors.Check each OLE DB status value,if available.No work was done.)Same web aspcode is working for other db (which were replicated from sql server 2000).
Also one more thing that was observed is as follows:
1)Prmary key was replicated for some of the tables.When primary keys were removed manually report executed fine.
Thanks in advance

Snapshot Replication - Primary Key Not Transferred
Sep 23, 2005Hi There
View 11 Replies View RelatedMerge Replication - Conflicts With Primary Key
Jul 31, 2007Hello!
I got a problem with merge replication. I got a central sql server 2005 database on which i got a publication. Also there are 2 sql servers CE which are subscribers to that publication. I need to add some records on both mobile servers indepently but i'm using primary key as a user id in one table.
So when i add a user on one PDA i use next available number in column ID. In the same time I add a user on other PDA with the same ID, because I don't know that there is such user with the same ID.
Ok then I do synchronization. First PDA synchronizes with server but second tells me that there is a record with the same PK. And my question is. Can these be resolved writing a custom resolver or maybe you know others resolutions, because I think that is a typicall problem but couldn't find any solution other than using ie. HOST_NAME() function.
Thanks for help!

Merge Replication Primary Key Violations
Jul 26, 2007I have a Merge Replication Problem and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Given the following:
Multiple clients have merge subscriptions to a central Server's DB.
DB contains a table tblUser
tblUser has a Varchar field; UserLoginName, which is Primary Key.
It also has an integer field, UserValue
The replication is configured to resolve to the greater integer value.
Client 1 creates a new User
INSERT tblUser
(UserLoginName, UserValue)
VALUES('Fred',1)
At the same time Client 2 does the same thing, but with a larger value
INSERT tblUSer
(UserLoginName, UserValue)
VALUES('Fred', 2)
One of the inserts will get to the Central Server first.
The other will form a conflict.
A row insert at 'Client2.dbUsers' could not be propagated to 'CentralServer.dbUsers'.
This failure can be caused by a constraint violation.
Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_tblUser_1'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.tblUser'.
So now I have two different value fields and a conflict that cannot be resolved.
Is this fixable?
Do I need to make changes at athe Architechture level?
Replication Fails With Primary Key Violation Error
Jun 7, 1999I have a publication that has been working great for over eight months. I have on occassion had to stop publishing and stop subscribing in normal operation without problems.
Yesterday, I ran into a problem that I am not sure how to solve.
I keep getting a distribution task failure "Violation of Primary Key constraint 'aaaashipm_pk'. Attempt to insert duplicate key in object shipm failed while bulk copying into shipm
Anyone run across this or have any suggestions -- do I have a transaction log problem, distribution data base/log problem. I have checked the identity column to make sure its not out of sync, run a check on the table to make sure its not corrupted. I have a couple of other things I am trying but was curious if anyone else had come across this?
Will let you know if I find a solution but it doesn't look good.
Identity Primary Field In Merge Replication
Jul 23, 2007Hello I currently have a merge replication set up with 4 subscribers. A primary field for one of my tables is set to a integer indetity.
What Ive noticed is that depending on which database I enter data into, the indentity field (primary key) is set within a certain range I.e
On Server 1 - Values start from 1 then 2,3,4 etc etc
Server 2 - 24001, 24002, 24003 etc etc
Server 3 - 46001, 46002, 46003 etc etc
Server 4 - 68001, 68002, 68003
My question is what happens when these ranges eventually conflict? Do they automatically gain a different range such as 142 001, 142 002 etc etc?
Ive tried looking in SQL Help, and a quick search here, Im just after some confirmation before I implement this to my app.
cheers

Is Is Necessary For A Table Which Will Be Part Of The Replication Process To Have A And Primary Key Defined On It?
May 17, 2007Hi 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,

How do I get past the error and create the Clustered Index on ID column in both publisher and subscriber?
Replication Invalid Syntax Error: Table Has Computed Primary Key
Sep 13, 2006Hi,
I have set up a publisher using transactional replication. ( all seems ok). The initial snapshot has been generated.

Auto Incremented Integer Primary Keys Vs Varchar Primary Keys
Aug 13, 2007Hi,
I have recently been looking at a database and wondered if anyone can tell me what the advantages are supporting a unique collumn, which can essentially be seen as the primary key, with an identity seed integer primary key.
For example:
id [unique integer auto incremented primary key - not null],
ClientCode [unique index varchar - not null],
name [varchar null],
surname [varchar null]
isn't it just better to use ClientCode as the primary key straight of because when one references the above table, it can be done easier with the ClientCode since you dont have to do a lookup on the ClientCode everytime.
Regards
Mike
SQL Server 2008 :: Change Primary Key Non-clustered To Primary Key Clustered

View 2 Replies View Related4 Key Primary Key Vs 1 Key 'artificial' Primary Key
Jan 28, 2004Hi all
I have the following table
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[property_instance] (
[property_instance_id] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
[application_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[owner_id] [nvarchar] (100) NOT NULL ,
[property_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[owner_type_id] [int] NOT NULL ,
[property_value] [ntext] NOT NULL ,
[date_created] [datetime] NOT NULL ,
[date_modified] [datetime] NULL
)
I have created an 'artificial' primary key, property_instance_id. The 'true' primary key is application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id
In this specific instance
- property_instance_id will never be a foreign key into another table
- queries will generally use application_id, owner_id, property_id and owner_type_id in the WHERE clause when searching for a particular row
- Once inserted, none of the application_id, owner_id, property_id or owner_type_id columns will ever be modified
I generally like to create artificial primary keys whenever the primary key would otherwise consist of more than 2 columns.
What do people think the advantages and disadvantages of each technique are? Do you recommend I go with the existing model, or should I remove the artificial primary key column and just go with a 4 column primary key for this table?
Thanks Matt

DBCC OPENTRAN Shows REPLICATION On A Server That Is Not Configured For Replication
Aug 22, 2007Hello,
I have this problem on a Production database.

Thank you.

View 5 Replies View RelatedSQL Express Replication And Problems Accessing Data After Replication
Jul 28, 2006Hi,
I have a VB.net app that access a SQL Express database. I have transactional repliaction set up on a SQL 2000 database (the publisher) and a pull subscription from the VB.net app. I use RMO in the VB app to connect to the publisher. My problem is I am getting some strange behaviour as follows
- if I run the app and invoke the pull subscription it works fine. If I then close my app and go back in, I can access my data without any problem
- If I run the app and try to access data in my SQL Express database it works fine. I can then close the app, reopen it and run the pull subscription it works fine
however.......
- if I run the app, invoke the pull subscription (which runs fine), and then try to access data in my local SQL Express database without firstly closing and reopening the app, I get a login error
- if I run the app, try to access data in my local SQL Express database (which works fine), and then try to run the pull subscription I get a "the process cannot acces the file as it is being used by another process" error. In this case I need to restart the SQL Express service to be able to run replication again.
I get exactly the same behaviour when I use the Windows Sync tool (with my app open at the same time) instead of my RMO code to replicate the data.
I am using standard ADO.Net 2 code to access my SQL Express data in the app and closing all connections etc
Any advice appreciated !
Thanks

Can anybody please tell me does replication cause the tempdb to grow. If yes then how. can u suggest any good link for getting to know the internal working of SQL Server replication????

How Do We Add A New Column To A Merge Replication Article, But Specify It As Not For Replication?
Aug 30, 2007Hi all,
I know that adding a column using ALTER TABLE to add a column automatically allows SQLSERVER 2005 to replicate the schema changes to the subscribers, however, I would like to add a new column to an existing article that is being used for merge replication, however, I don't want this column to be replicated. Re-initialising the subscriptions is not a option. Help would be appreciated.
I am using SQLSERVER 2005 (SP1).
Replication :: Transactional Replication Removal Sequence
Sep 2, 2015I have been researching on the proper steps or sequence to follow to completely remove SQL Server 2012 Transactional Replication. I have read articles about using SSMS as well as using replication stored procedures and some procedures use SQLCMD or just regular TSQL executed in SSMS. I have also read articles where people said all you really need is connect to the Publisher instance, find the publication you want to remove and choose "Delete" and everything will be taken care of behind the scene. I have three SQL servers that participate in transactional replication. SQL-P (publisher),
SQL-D (distributor) and SQL-S (subscriber). Do I need to connect to the distributor instance and the subscriber instance when removing transactional replication or is it just really connecting to the publisher and click delete on the publication? I want everything gone including any metadata, systems tables, distributions db and any other replication objects created during the initial configuration.
DB Replication Or Table Replication Via Triggers?
Apr 17, 2007Hello 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
