Restoring A Db That Was Involved In Replication
Mar 24, 2004
Hi all
I have restored a db from a live environment to my dev envorinment. This db on live is a replication publisher.
My dev environment has no replication, but when I try to modify the schema in the db I restored I get the following error
"Server: Msg 4932, Level 16, State 1, Line 441
ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN failed because 'url_web1' is currently replicated."
Does anyone know what I have to do to restore the database on my de box so it 'forgets' its live replication settings?
On my dev server I have no items in the replication folder in Enterprise Manager but it seems replication details are stored somewhere, perhaps in the backup itself?

Do we need to disable replication to do a restore? Any help on this?

From Help
Transactional replication includes the sync with backup option, which can be set on the distribution database and the publication database:
It is recommended to set this option on the distribution database in all cases.
Setting this option on the distribution database ensures that transactions in the log of the publication database will not be truncated until they have been backed up at the distribution database. The distribution database can be restored to the last backup, and any missing transactions are delivered from the publication database to the distribution database; replication continues unaffected.
Does database will not be truncated until they have been backed up at the distribution database mean that the database itself needs to be backed up OR the log file with it?

I'm a novice with replication and am in need of direction on how to restore replicated databases. Server A replicates 5 databases to server B using transactional replication. Server A also contains the distribution database. I'm perfoming PUSH replication.
The development area asked me to restore Server A with a copy of production data located on server C. After I restored the data from C to A, I noticed that server A was no longer published. Is this normal?
I re-published the 5 databases, but noticed that the Log Reader Agent has now been running for 2 hours. I'm trying to give myself a crash course in replication, but am coming up empty regarding (1) the prefered method for restoring replicated databases and (2) determining why the Log Reader Agent is taking so long.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Dave

We had a siutation last night in our production environment that forced us to revert back to an earlier version of the database (before a major code rollout that failed). After restoring the days full backup (with NORECOVERY), and then restoring a DIFF backup (FULL RECOVERY and had checked Preserve Replication Settings)...the transaction replication failed.
Message #1
The replication agent has been successfully started. See the Replication Monitor for more information.

I've tried reinitializing the publication/subscription and while that took brand new snapshots and copied it over to the replicated data server, it did not fix the problem.I read from a different post that I could try running "sp_replrestart" but that ran for about a half an hour and didn't appear to do anything but fill up our log files...did I not wait long enough?
The only thing I know to do at this point is to drop the publication on the production server and rebuild it completely (and with all the tables we're replicating that would take quite a bit of time.

i have 2 questions,
1. cause there is no record of my old SQL 6.5 installation leaft for me,so i try to find the character set and sort order of my old SQL 6.5 installation, and in the MSSQLlog directory the errlog.? file there are these lines:
99/06/11 12:59:24.29 spid1 SQL Server's default sort order is:
99/06/11 12:59:24.29 spid1 'nocase' (ID = 52)
99/06/11 12:59:24.29 spid1 on top of default character set:
99/06/11 12:59:24.29 spid1 'iso_1' (ID = 1)
so my old installation's character set and sort order is as above,am i right?
2. cause i am in chinese so any good idea for me to upgrade this old SQL 6.5 to use chinese character set (cp936) , is there anyway to transfer the old data?
thanks if any suggestions!
welcome to send me mail about the question.

I have a query written that filters on joined table data. The SELECT looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM tbl_bol AS a LEFT OUTER JOIN
bol_status AS b ON b.bol_status_id = a.bol_status_id LEFT OUTER JOIN
tbl_carrier AS c ON c.carrier_id = a.carrier_id
WHERE (a.carrier_name LIKE 'five%') AND
(a.accrueamt = 0) AND
(a.imported = 1) AND
(b.description = 'tendered') AND
(a.ship_date BETWEEN '9/1/13' AND '9/30/13')
ORDER BY a.bol_number DESC
If I want to do an UPDATE query that uses those filters in the WHERE clause, how do I go about doing that? It doesn't look like you can used joined tables in the UPDATE line like this:
UPDATE tbl_bol AS a LEFT OUTER JOIN
bol_status AS b ON b.bol_status_id = a.bol_status_id LEFT OUTER JOIN
tbl_carrier AS c ON c.carrier_id = a.carrier_id
SET accrueamt='1348'
WHERE (a.carrier_name LIKE 'five%') AND
(a.accrueamt = 0) AND
(a.imported = 1) AND
(b.description = 'tendered') AND
(a.ship_date BETWEEN '9/1/13' AND '9/30/13')

Hi Guys,
We already have work around when it comes to read xml data type from remote servers
remote server (eurodata3) table
create table temp_asaf
(
xmlCol XML
)
SELECT
Cast(a.XML_Data as XML) as XML_Data
FROM
OPENQUERY(eurodata3,'
SELECT TOP 10
Cast(xmlCol as Varchar(MAX)) as XML_Data
FROM
em_port.dbo.temp_asaf'
) a
Here is a question for you. How do I insert data into remote server when data type for a column is xml?
INSERT OPENQUERY (eurodata3, '
SELECT Cast(xmlCol as Varchar(MAX)) AS xmlCol
FROM em_port.dbo.temp_asaf')
VALUES ('<html><body>MS Sql Server</body></html>');
Running above code would give me the following error:
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "eurodata3" returned message "Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.".
Msg 7344, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI" for linked server "eurodata3" could not INSERT INTO table "[SQLNCLI]" because of column "xmlCol". The user did not have permission to write to the column.
Location: memilb.cpp:1493
Expression: (*ppilb)->m_cRef == 0
SPID: 59
Process ID: 1660
Don't be misled by permission statement. I could successfully run similar query as long as the column is not xml on remote server. I would appreciate some ideas to get around with it.

Hi,
I'm experiencing a problem I think I should not in my COM+ application. I will describe the setup first and then will expose the problem.
It's a simple COM+ application (dll). Inside it, there's a method to save an object A. Object A is persisted in a table in SQL Server 2000 that uses an identity field for the primary key. What this method does is the following:
1) Insert the record for Object A via ADO
2) Retrieve the Id for the object using SCOPE_IDENTITY via ADO and set it on the object
3) Execute an UPDATE statement based on a certain condition via ADO (this UPDATE statement will fire a trigger, however the trigger will not do anything since the record does not answer the criteria for the trigger)
4) Insert a record for another Object A via ADO
5) Retrieve the Id for the object using SCOPE_IDENTITY via ADO and set it on the object
When I get to step (5), an error is raised because SCOPE_IDENTITY returns NULL. This is as if it was returning the Identity value for the trigger that did not cause any INSERT on the UPDATE statement in (3). All the steps are performed using a single connection.
The trigger will duplicate the updated record in another table if a certain flag is set, so in my case, it was not set yet.
It's just weird that this would happen. If I delete the trigger, everything works fine. @@IDENTITY gives me the same problem. It's really as if the trigger was taking over or something and unless I put something between the two steps I get this error. There's one thing though. In step (3), I was using the adCmdText flag for the ADO statement. If I use adExecuteNoRecords it works fine. However I don't understand why it would be this way, I'm trying to understand why it's not working to begin with, even though the sequence of the steps performed should.
Any idea why this would happen?
Thanks,
Greg

I have created an SSIS package which, as its 2nd step, picks up a .dbf table and does a Data Flow Task of putting the .dbf table into a SQL Server 2005 table (which was just truncated in Step 1).
The Connection Manager that works on the .dbf table is Native OLE DBMicrosoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider.
The entire SSIS package runs perfectly when i run it from my development environment.
I then assigned this Package to a SQL Server 2005 Job. The entire package is the sole step of the job.
But when I run the SQL Job, the Job fails immediately on Step 2.
Here is the error message in View History of the SQL Job:

I would like to provide the db_datareader and db_executor role to a particular SQL Server Login in a database
But, I would like to avoid any INSERT's, UPDATE's or DELETE's that may happen by calling the stored procedures
I tried assigning the db_denydatawriter role but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick as the INSERT's, UPDATE's and DELETE's were still working
Is there any way to provide the db_datareader and db_executor role but avoid any DML actions.

I have a deadlock trace running on a production server that is filling up with the following:
Lock: Deadlock Chain
Parallel query worker thread was involved in a deadlock SPID 8
105 - Resource Type Exchange
Spid 8 is a SQL process LOCK MONITOR
There are no graphs as seen with typical deadlock, so it is not two queries that are deadlocking, and I've never seen a deadlock for "LOCK MONITOR"

I would like to know if it is resonable and acceptable to make reports created through SQL Server Reporting services available through our Public facing applications.
Also, what are the potential problems? Security? Impact on the SQL Server? Limit to specific types of reports?
If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated, I am a big fan of SQL Reporting but we are unsure if we are going to be able to use the reports on the Public side and we don't want two separate sets of reports (internal and Public).
Thanks in advance.

We have setup a replication in SQL2000:
We have DTS package automatically pouring data into the publishing database(source tables). During this process, we want to temporary disable certain triggers. However, the command
Alter table 'tbl' disable trigger 'abc' errored out. The error message said:
''Cannot alter the table 'tbl' because it is being published for replication."
I've digged more into this and found although it's not allowed to disable a triggers,
the SQLServer do allow delete the trigger and recreate them.
Is there any way to disable the trigger directly?
Thanks in advance,
Don
BTW:
I've used the following sql directly, however the trigger still fires.
UPDATE
sysobjects
SET
status = status|2048
WHERE
type = 'TR'
AND
parent_obj = OBJECT_ID (@table_name)
The only other way around now is to create stored procedures that dynamically create the trigger. Because our trigger is normmally larger than 8000 bytes. We have to create one stored procedure per trigger. This option is not acceptable because not only it takes quite a time, but also a maintainance nightmare.

Hi everybody.
I have a merge replication scenario between 2 servers.
Everything is OK when I write data in UP server (the server which does the replication).
But when I write data in any tables in the DOWN server throws an error saying that the table where I'm trying to insert data is updating or inicializating for merge replica. This table, where the error throws, isn't involved in the replica. In fact, that table is not involved in none replication.
Can you help me?

I did a full backup of a db from one server(Express2005) and trying to restore it to a different instance of SQL2005 on the same development machine. (Also had some fulltext columns if that means anything)
Many failures but finally got it to report all was successful except the icon in Object Explorer shows (Restoring...) with no indication of any real activity going on. It's a tiny database with hardly any data in it.
Just not sure what the heck is going on there. It also won't let me into the database until this the (Restoring...) goes away.
Any advice on how to get this thing finished out?

I have a 14GB database whose data content is legacy and is described as static. The log file is significantly large and continues to change size mostly increasing by 2-5GB a day (~60GB now) I have observed over the past two days; it shrank once unexpectly by a few GB. The instance is hosting other databases such as: EnterpriseVaultDirectory, EnterpriseVaultMonitoring, EnterpriseVaultStore, and NetPerfMon - might these seemingly unrelated data sources be involved?
I am trying to a trace to find traffic against the tables, no such luck.
Web applications are playing against it for queries but there should be no UPDATEs beign applied. I can only suspect that other unknown applications are performing operations but have yet to find unexplained connections.
Are there any other reasons why this type of log file activity would happen merely due to queries or stored procedure calls?
Lets also state, "mirroring, indexing, replication" are not at play. I know logging "Full" is not necessary as "Simple" should suffice but I am still hunting down why UPDATEs might be getting through. I realize I might adjust the migrated SQL 2000 security model to deny updates to find what breaks but would rather not take that iniative yet.
The installation is a fresh SQL 2005 Standard setup with SP2 applied; the databases were upgraded.

Hello,
We are running SQL2005, SP2.
We are having problems with the time it takes to export reports to Excel.
I am attempting to research the subject and find ways of solving the problem either by modifying the reports or make changes in the way we deliver them.
Either way my attempts at researching this at Microsoft.com and here at the forums have proven to be failures. There are many threads on the subject but with the time it takes to scroll through them all I have yet to find any that seem to relate to the specific issues we are having.
We have a report which is approximately 38 pages, sometimes less, sometimes more, in length. When attempting to export to Excel the process seems to take forever or time out. We can still close out the export attempt and return to the report, but the process of exporting to Excell seems to take forever.
Could anyone here provide me with links to pages either here at Microsoft.com, in the forums, or elsewhere where the factors involved in the exporting to Excell feature are addressed so that I can try to accomodate them as best as possible?
Thanks in advance.
I will continue to try and track down the information on my own but any assistance is appreciated.

I have a table with 22 million Business records. I can see that there are duplicates when I group by BusinessName and Address and Phone. I'd like to place only the duplicates into a table, with a ranking, oldest business key gets a ranking of 1.
As a bonus I'd like each group to have a distinct group name (although not necessary, just want to know how to do this)
Later after I run more verifications to make sure these are not referenced elsewhere I'll delete everything with a matchRank > 1 out of the main Business table.
DROP TABLE [dbo].[TestBusiness];

Hi,I have transactional replication set up on on of our MS SQL 2000 (SP4)Std Edition database serverBecause of an unfortunate scenario, I had to restore one of thepublication databases. I scripted the replication module and droppedthe publication first. Then did a full restore.When I try to set up the replication thru the script, it created thepublication with the following error messageServer: Msg 2714, Level 16, State 5, Procedure SYNC_FCR ToGPRPTS_GL00100, Line 1There is already an object named 'SYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100' in thedatabase.It seems the previous replication has set up these system viewsSYNC_FCR To GPRPTS_GL00100. And I have tried dropping the replicationmodule again to see if it drops the views but it didn't.The replication fails with some wired error & complains about thisviews when I try to run the synch..I even tried running the sp_removedbreplication to drop thereplication module, but the views do not seem to disappear.My question is how do I remove these system views or how do I make thereplication work without using these views or create new views.. Whyis this creating those system views in the first place?I would appreciate if anyone can help me fix this issue. Please feelfree to let me know if any additional information or scripts needed.Thanks in advance..Regards,Aravin Rajendra.

Hi,
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
Ronan
