I'm new to replication and set up a Snapshot Replication on the tables in my sample database. Â Everything seemed to work (database created on Subscriber instance, jobs set up, etc) but the articles (tables) are not being created in the subscriber's database. Â
I can see the files created in the folder but I don't see the tables or the data. Â Also, I confirmed that the articles are checked so they should be included.
I would like to create a database & save to that data base the ratings of articles that are given by the users.
(I want to create a recommendation system.)
I am using joomla! How do I do this ?
Hey All - Another replication question:
Using VBScript in an ActiveX module of a DTS package...
Anyone have an idea how to add ALL articles to a Subscription.
The only way I can figure it is to load an array from sysobjects, then run sp_addarticle on each one.
Thanks for your help

We are runnning on SQL Server 2012 SP1 + CU9.
I have found some articles with no publication in our transactional replication.
For example, running this:
select p.publication,
a.publication_id,
a.article
from dbo.MSArticles as a
left outer join dbo.MSpublications as p
on a.publication_id = p.publication_id
shows this:
NULL1org_Community
NULL3org_Community
Purchasing to EDW5org_Community
NULL1org_Division
NULL3org_Division
Purchasing to EDW5org_Division
How can I get rid of the articles that are not part of a publication?
I can't use sp_droparticle because it requires a publication which these articles do not have.
Hello,
My company is moving to a SQL Server-based packaged application early next year. We€™re planning our SQL Server architecture but have some questions that I can€™t readily find answers for. I€™m hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
We have three servers, I€™ll call them A, B, and C. We want to duplicate all changes to certain databases on server A to server B, then duplicate changes to selected databases and tables on server B to server C.
Ideally we€™d run SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on all three servers, but the packaged application vendor does not support SQL Server 2005 yet, only SQL Server 2000. Our license agreement with them does not allow us to use replication on server A. We€™re free to do whatever we want on our other SQL Servers, but server A must sit alone, untouched, like a monolith on a far-away moon. (I€™m lobbying to have the server named Tycho, or TMA2.) Stranger still, they€™re OK with log shipping from server A to other servers. We€™ve tried to explain that replication and log shipping are both core function built into SQL Server, and that if one is acceptable, then both should be. Their fear is that replication could cause performance and stability problems, and to eliminate this possibility they€™re ruling out replication on server A.
Given these constraints we€™re resigned to using SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition on servers A and B, and SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition on server C. We plan on periodically shipping logs from server A to server B and applying them at server B.
We€™d like to know if it is possible to also use transactional replication on server B to duplicate changes from server B to server C. I€™ve used log shipping and replication in the past, but never at the same time. My understanding is that a database goes into recovery mode while a transaction log is being applied and that any user changes to the database after the log has been applied will cause later log applications to fail. The scripts I€™ve seen that are used to apply the transaction logs put the database into single user mode after the log has been applied to prevent this.
This raises a few questions:
If we try to RESTORE a log to a database being used as a source for transactional replication articles, will the RESTORE fail? Or will the RESTORE start and break the transactional replication? I€™ll test this on my own, but it€™d be nice to know if anyone has already experienced this.
Is it possible for us to have a database in read-only mode serve as the source for transactional replication articles? (I can€™t imagine why not, ever though it seems counter-intuitive - why would you want to replicate transactions from a database that has no transactions?)
If the answer to number two is yes, can we suspend transactional replication on a database, RESTORE a log to the database, put the database into read-only mode after the RESTORE, and restart the replication on the database?
Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom, everyone!

I have an existing publication in sql 2012 with 2 articles, and then I add 2 more articles. After that when I generate a snapshot, will the snapshot be generated for 2 new articles only or for all 4 articles?
I remember adding 1 new articles to one existing publication with 150 articles and when I generated snapshot, it was generated only for 1 article. But I don't remember clearly.
Does it behave differently for small and large number of articles?
-----Table Proc Index Performance TSQL &&%$#@*(#@$%.......------------
We have many users with a mobile application running SQL Mobile and using merge replication to get data back to the SQL 2008 R2 database. This has worked very well for many years.
We now have a requirement to have this data reported on using Reporting Services. This is where it gets messy.
Due to a limitation of Report Builder(see this blog) we cannot provide access to users for creating their own reports. The report database is remote from the host and there is no VPN.
We hit upon the idea of creating an almost identical publication but the articles as read-only. It was only after this was done that we started having trouble with our existing mobile users.
It seems that a published article is EITHER Bi-directional OR Read-only even if they are in separate publications.
I then thought of using Transactional Publication but this too is blocked on creation with "automatic identity range support is useful only for publications that allow updating subscribers"(Merge and Transactional publication are mutually exclusive)
So in the final analysis is there a way for me to have merge replication AND some other form of SQL replication/data transfer that can have the same data transmitted readonly to a separate full SQL server database?
I am setting up filtered replication(tran repl) for a table that is 2+ TB in size. The filtered rows are less than 1% of total size.When I run the snapshot, sometimes it complete in 27 mins(I have already optimized the snapshot agent profile) and sometimes it runs for ever. Mostly it runs forever, so the chances of it finishing soon are really very less.I have infact created filtered index just to cater to the query in the filter i.e. on the filter predicates. The reason its flipping flopping is due to the incorrect plan that it chooses. I can force the right index and the filtered query runs just fine but. I cannot use the query hints when I am adding the filter in replication as its not allowed.
I then went ahead and created the plan guides to force the best plan. But the plan guide was not used because even if there is a single space in the actual query that replication runs in the background the plan guide will not be used(testing on plan guides has proved this). The query needs to be ditto same including whitespaces and carriage returns. I then ran profiler and found that there is a view that replication creates and executes to extract the filtered rows and BCP it. Got the text of the view and created the plan guide on it but it was still not used because sp_helptext output seems to be different than what is actually being fired by replication internally.
Further, I collected the verbose log with level 2 and tried to find out if the main query shows up there with no success.
(a) I can't use the plan guide because I do not know the exact syntax(I mean I have the query but I do not know the white spaces, carriage returns, etc) and
(b) I cannot use query hint while filtering the article.
1. I cannot afford to have downtime.
2. I cannot use backup and restore option either.
We have a SQLServer 2005 Enterprise merge replication publication with SQL Mobile 3.0 subscribers (Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0). We do not use pre-computed partitions due to trigger performance issues with an SSIS/ETL application that supplies data to the merge database. We do use the "Optimize" (=true) option, though we have tried this both ways with no significant differences. We use filters and joins for each worker ID (as HOST_ID) from the subscriptions.
The sync times become increasingly worse after we run the snapshot and bring the publication online. I have tried rerunning the snapshots, this helps little, as it often behaves like the subscription was set to reinitialize and forces a big sync (reload of all data) to the subscriber. We have tried much of the obvious (e.g., flattening filters and joins, adding indexes, etc.).
When users are synchronizing, we watch replication monitor and notice that a lot of time is spent processing "enumerating inserts and updates for article [any article]", especially processing the many generations and batches. This is true for any follow-up syncs after the 1st big sync (initializing the subscription).
I read several posts regarding the batches and generations of changes, and decided to try increasing the €œDownloadGenerationsPerBatch€?. I tried adding this parameter to the snapshot agent job, and the job fails each time with a vague message, even with the default value of 100. How do you change this parameter for SQLServer 2005 Enterprise?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
I am very new to the whole sql replication, i am trying to replicate with 2x 2000sql std machines
One is to be the distrubuter and the publisher (merge type by the way) the other to be the subscriber.
I have downloaded and followed step by steps religiously however i have nothing but isses with this. I have used the wizards i am getting various errors.
the merge client comes up with an error after looking in the event view i find i have the following error

I'm trying to test merge replication, but am unable to create the publication, the snapshot agent keeps failing. The error I get from replication monitor is "Script failed for Table <tablename>"
Our database has quite a few XML datatype columns, when I take out the xml columns the snapshot succeeds OK, but fails with the xml column.
I created a simple table containing a varchar column and xml column. I created this table in our database, and in Adventure Works. Was able to create a publication with this test table in the adventureworks database, but was unable to create publication with this table in our database. The snapshot failed with error "Script failed for table testtable". I removed the xml column on the test table in our database and was able to create the publication successfully. Creating a publication in the adventureworks database with an xml column has no problems, but does in our database.
Anyone have any ideas?
I am at my wits end here. For Replication the Books Online clearly state:
"The option to allow transformations is set at the time you create a publication"
However, I cannot find any options that allow me to do this in the Create Publication Wizard.
Once the Publication has been created I see in the Properties in the Subscription Options tab that "Use DTS to transform data before distributing it to a Subscriber" is set to No and there is no way to change it.
Where am I going wrong?
Hi,
I am stuck when trying to create a new publication. I fill all the wizard tabs but when finishing I get that message (6 times, one for every table):
Code Block
SQL Server Management Studio could not create article 'applicationModules'. (New Publication Wizard)
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
------------------------------
This article cannot use the 'subscriber_upload_options' feature because the publication compatibility level is less than 90. Use sp_changemergepublication to set the publication_compatibility_level of publication 'testMR' to '90RTM'.
Changed database context to 'test'.
Publication 'testMR' has the following property: 'compensate_for_errors'. SQL Server subscribers below version '8.00.0858' will ignore this setting. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 21522)
For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.1399&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=21522&LinkId=20476
The error seemed pretty clear, so I end up doing:
EXEC sp_changemergepublication
@publication = N'testMR',
@property = N'publication_compatibility_level',
@value = N'90RTM'
and running the wizard again.
But I got the same error.
The link on the message take me nowhere.
and by googling for error 21522 I couldn't find any help at all.
Please, could anyone help?
Cheers
Hi all SQL Replication experts :)
I have created my production server as a distributor and a publication on that server. On my backup server I have created a pull subscription. After that I have generated SQL scripts on my backup server so I can create the pull subscription anytime.
To test my script I used sp_removedbreplication 'dbname' to remove replication on the backup server. I then used the generated SQL script to create the pull subscription again. I got this error message
Job 'ProdServName_DBName-BackServName-DBName401A48AE-D8DC-4F29-A610-13916370CD0B' started successfully.
Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_addsubscription, Line 135
Invalid object name 'syspublications'.
What does this Error message mean and what can I do about it?
Grateful for all answers

Hi all
i have setup default transactional replication using locat distributor scheme. I need to create triggers on tables at subscriber side. Can this be done using transaction replication?
Thanks,
Arslan.
I am running MS SQL Server 7 with SP3 installed and am having some problems getting replication to work correctly. I want to replicate all tables from one database to another database on the same server. I can setup replication, add publications and add subscriptions without any problem and all goes well until the replication process starts when the job aborts because it cannot find the sp_MSins..., sp_MSupd... or the sp_MSdel... stored procedures. I have used the New Publication wizard to create a Transactional publication, published all tables and allowed the wizard to use the default stored procedures which it says will be created when the subscribers are initialized but although I have created push subcriptions the stored procedures are never created and hence the replication fails whenever the job runs.
I have SA access to the databases concerned and as far as I am aware the jobs are running as my login - can anybody help me out as this is beginning to drive me nuts.
Thanks
Chris
Hi,
I am developing a application where the database needs to be deployed from the central database server which is sql server 2005, and we have only few fields and few new tables which need to be deployed into pocket pc using sql mobile from sql server 2005. We would like to design the database in sql server 2005 for mobile, which will be only structure and will be deployed into PDA using web service.
Could anyone help on the above problem?
hi all,
I was trying to set the articles to
"delete data in the existing table that matches the row filter"
in the publications "article>articles>table articles>snapshot" of
the publication
but everytime i reopen that property tab
the publication restore to the
default setting of "drop exisiting table and recreate it"
i"m using sql server 2000. snapshot replication--
thanks,

maybe anyone knows good books or articles about ETL, ETL processes, ETL optimization ?
If you know where i can download - post a link

Is there a way in T-SQL to programmatically list all the articles? What I'm wanting to do is grab these articles and run this SP:
EXEC sp_publication_validation 'people', @rowcount_only=2, @full_or_fast=0
For each aritcle/publication, but I need a way to programmatically calculate the 'people' article in this case and pass that information along to the sp_publication_validation SP.
Is there a way, perhaps in system tables or system SP to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Phil
I have a design that includes articles that will be searched. Obviously its too slow to put them into fields, and impossible because some have photos or are otherwise html documents. So I want to put pointers to their location.
Two questions. For each deployment, both desktop and web, where is the best place to put the articles. In any folder, or only in an iis virtual folder?

Hello Everyonen and thanks for your help in advance. I am developing a conetnet management system to allow for the storage of articles within a SQL Server 2000 database. I am using FreeTextBox as the editor for users to enter articles. I ahve two questions. First, many of the articles are quite lengthy and including HTML formatting go well beyond 8000 characters. How should I go about storing these articles? Should I use a TEXT datatype, or perhaps split the data into more than one row. This leads to my second quuestion. Many sites that display article type data break the artilce into multiple pages with page numbers or next links to page back and forth. I am not sure hot to go about implmeneting this. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a page which loads an article based on an ID, what i want to do now is when the article loads there will be a repeater control which holds headlines of related articles in it. My problem is how can i achieve this in terms of passing through the articleCategoryID to the stored procedure "stream_RelatedArticles".
This is my stored procedure that loads the initial article;
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stream_Articles]
as
SELECT TOP 5 articleID, articleTitle,articleDescription, articleAuthor,articleDatePublished,articleBody from Articles ORDER BY articleDatePublished
And this is the page_load;if (!IsPostBack)
{string strID = Request.QueryString["id"];
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["streamConnectionString"].ConnectionString);SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("stream_ArticlesByID", conn);
command.Parameters.Add("@articleID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Request.QueryString["id"];command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
conn.Open();SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
ArticleList1.DataSource = reader;
ArticleList1.DataBind();
reader.Close();
}
And here is my related article stored procedure;ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[stream_RelatedArticles]@articleCategoryID INT
as
SELECT articleID,articleCategoryID, articleTitle,articleDescription, articleAuthor,articleDatePublished,articleBody from Articles
WHERE articleCategoryID = @articleCategoryID
Greetings,I have one table, named Article, and one table name Category.The problem is, one Article could be in just one or in several categories.What is the best way to connect data between Article and Category according to fast search performance?I have several ideas:1. To have third cross table Article_Category with fields Article_ID and Category_ID, and search Article_Category table 2. To have several INTEGER columns in Article table (like Category_ID1, Category_ID2,..) and search those columns3. Add one VARCHAR field in Article table where I could write Category ID's delimited by some character (e.g. by comma), and do text search in only that column.What is recommended for solving problems like this?

I have setup Transactional replication in SQL 2005 between two servers and have about 200 tables being replicated. The problem is that every time, I add or drop a table to replication, and start the Snapshot agent, it re-initializes every article and re-loads every article. This process takes 1 hour to complete and CPU usage goes to 100% during that time.
This behaviour seems very different from SQL 2000 where I would start Snapshot agent and only the relevant tables were added/dropped.
Has that functionality changed from 2000 to 2005? Am I not doing something right?
Thanks,
Amir
I wonder if anyone can advise, I currently have a replication set to 5 offices. Which has been working fine for some 18 months+, then the replication dropped out. When I looked in the publisher it had lost all its articles and would not allow me to add back in. I deleted the publication and recreated it and then after creating a new snapshot starting rolling back out to the various locations, and one of the locations failed and again all the articles where lost. I deleted and rebuilt the database at that office and went through the same routine again, only for it to happen again, the issue being that now errors where produced!!!.
So at present I have the publication and all the subscriptions running apart from this one office.
Has anyone had this before, or any ideas. I have run a full virus scan just in case and it was fine.
