We are using push subscription using transactional replication. Is there a recommended value for retention period on distributionDb? We are using default value of 72 hrs and recently we saw an issue where data was not replicated with an error that subscription was inactive. When I searched, I fid that it is related to the retention period setting on distribution DB.
View 0 RepliesI have a scenario where I need to add a blank column to a table that is a publisher. This table contains over 100 million records. What is the best way to add the column? In the past where I had to make an update, it breaks replication because the update would take forever as jobs are continuously updating the table so replication can't catch up.
If I alter a table and add a column, would this column automatically get picked up in replication?
Is there a script to find which non-clustered indices are replicated? I know i can do this easily through GUI , having a script will make my life much easier ....
View 0 Replies View RelatedHello,
In our environment (SQL 2005) we have a database that uses Transactional Replication to sync data between two SQL 2005 servers. There is a web app that reads/writes data to the publisher server and the other server (that gets the replicated data) is used by some other internal applications.
At times, there is a need to delete some data from the publisher server...but this can ONLY happen once the data has been successfully replicated to the second server. Is there any way to determine if a row has been replicated successfully?
thanks

I have an application that uses web-based merge replication. My publisher is SQL 2005 and my subscriber is SQL 2005 Express. I control the replication with RMO code. If I make changes to the data in both databases using SQL Server Management Studio Express, my RMO code correctly syncs the two databases. However if I make changes to the data at the subscription through my application, these changes are not picked up by the replication process, even though the changes are present if you check the tables through Management Studio. What would cause these changes to not be recognized? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Is it possible to have a replicated table that you can open from and input data manually?
That is, I've got a table that I am replicating data to and I want to add some manual data to this table, every now and then.
Will this break replication?

OH and it is on SQL 2005 enterprise... an
On sqlserver 2000 transactional replication:
How would I best go about changing a published table's column from smallint to int? I could not find anything about it in BOL or MS.com. I do not think EM/Replication Properties allows the change. I suspect I have to run "Alter Table/Column" on the Publisher and each Subscriber the old-fashioned way. Is that true?
Thanks!
We have a master database (SQL 2014 Std) from which data are imported from XML files (send by en ERP system) using SSIS. There is about 12 other servers (SQL 2014 Express) located in remote warehouses. People will uses PocketPC to scan barcode of products in the warehouses and all operations must be forwarded to the master DB to be exported in a XML file for the ERP system.Now, each warehouses are independant. How can I setup the replication so only data belonging to a specific warehouse is replicated to its corresponding DB? I thought about creating views, one for each warehouses, and setup a replication for each warehouse, so there would be 12 merge replications configured. Is it fine?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to create a function that replaces the data in a column with an 'X' based on the LEN of the data in the column.

Hi all,
I am new to replication and have a few questions.
1) Are there any "hooks" available to insert processing when a subscriber is about to copy data from a replicating site?
2) Is it possible for a subscriber to change only his local copy of the data - without replicating the changes back to the publisher?
I realise that once the data changes in one place it isn't really replicated anymore, and I realise that my limited knowledge of the subject might well mean I'm not even asking the right questions. Therefore, I shall try to describe as best I can my scenario.
I wish to use many servers for transactional input (to distribute the workload) and use replication to publish the inputted data to a subscribing central site. One of the tables I wish to replicate has an identity column as primary key, but the records should otherwise be unique - i.e. no two records should differ only in the value of the key. Another table, which should also be replicated, uses this id value as a foreign key.
I can use the identity increment and seed to guarantee no key violations will occur when copying data to the central server. However, there is another issue: Several servers can create the same record but with different id values.
I need to "merge" such records by deleting duplicate entries in the table with the identifier as primary key, and update the foreign keys correspondingly. To clarify (I hope!), here's an example of what data I might have on the central site after copying data from two input sites:
TRANSACTION table
amount = 200, metadata_id = 1001 // Replicated from server INPUT_1
amount = -117, metadata_id = 2001 // Replicated from server INPUT_2
METADATA table:
id=1001 Actitiy=Sales, Country=USA
id=2001 Activity=Sales, Country=USA
What I would like is basically for the central site to identify that metadata 2001 is really the same as metadata 1001, update the foreign key in the TRANSACTION record accordingly and not import (or delete, if this "merging" is done in a post-treatment) the duplicate metadata record.
If anyone can offer any advice on how to achieve this I would appreciate your input.
Is it possible to move/migrate a replicated database to a different server without breaking the subscriptions etc?
If so, is there a guide on how to do this?
Many thanks for your help in advance!

1) I can't get the 'copy database' function to work from SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2005. I connect ok. Everything goes to the last step and then it fails.2) I cant get a SQL server 2008 backup to restore on SQL SEerver 2005 either.
The only way I know that works is to script the creation of all tables then export and import. This does work.
How can I get the 'entire' database, structure and data, from 2008 to 2005?
ThanksSQL newbie.

I am task with identifying the source database name, id, and server name for each staging table that I create. I need to add this to a derived column on all staging tables created from merging same tables on different servers together.
When doing a Merge Join, there is no way to identify the source of data so I would like to see if data came from one database more than the other servers or if their are duplicates across servers.
The thing that bugs me about SSIS Data Flow task is there is no way to do an easy Execute SQL Task after I select my ADO.NET Source to get this information because my connection string is dynamic and there is no way of know which data source is being picked up at runtime.
For Example I have Products table on Server 1 and 2:
Server 2 has more Products and would like to join the two together to create a staging table.
I want see the following:
Product ID, Product Name, Qty, Src_DB_ID, Src_DB_Name, Src_Server_Name
1 IPAD 1000 2, MyDB1, Server1
100 ASUS Pad 40 1, YourDB, Server2

Hi All,
I have SQL server 2005 Database which is having following Replication stuff.
1. 6 merge Subscribers
2. 5 Snapshot Subscribers (Push Susbribers)
3. 3 Transactional Publisher
Due to the Performance Issue, there is need to move SQL server from the Current Server to an Higher End Server.
I want to keep all the Replication settings after movement of the Database. Can anyone tell me how to acheive this requirement?
Is there a possibility to keep the Replication settings ? Even we can have the Same System Name to the New Server.
Awaiting response...

I'm looking for a process to archive data through replication. I have nightly job that purge records in few source tables(publisher) retaining only 3 yrs data. I have archive database (subscriber) that contains prior 3 yrs data and current 3 yrs data.
Before nightly job DELETES records in Source table i want to STOP replication so that the delete is not replicated in archive database. After the job completes i would like to TURN ON replication so that any new inserts and updates in Source will ONLY be replicated in archive database.
My DBA tested this but after last step of turning replication back ON archive database is sync'd with source table.
There are around 70 tables where 30 of them are transactional tables that needs record purge. Developing ETL process is possible but tedious.

I am using MS SQL 2008, and I am trying to extract data from a MySQL database. I am having trouble extracting the data I need.
In SQL Server management studio, I can see the linked server...I can browse the different databases on the server. I can see user and system tables in all of the databases.
When I try and query a linked table (select * from server.db.table) I get Invalid object name 'servername.databasename.tablename'.
When I try script the table.. right_click on the linked table, Script table as, Select to, New Query Editor window, I get an error '[servername].[databasename]..[tablename] contains no columns that can be selected or the current user does not have permissions on that object.'
This leads me to believe that it is a permissions problem, but if I have access to the MySQL database using MySQL and the same login/password) and can retrieve the data there, then I think my login credentials should be enough using MS SQL. I guess I think its odd that I could have enough credentials to get in and see table names, but not do a select against it.
I am writing a query to return some production data. Basically i need to insert either 1 or 2 rows into a Table variable based on a decision as to does the production part make 1 or 2 items ( The Raw data does not allow for this it comes from a look up in my database)
I can retrieve all the source data i need easily but when i come to insert it into the table variable i need to insert 1 record if its a single part or 2 records if its a twin part. I know could use a cursor but im sure there has to be an easier way !

declare @startdate as datetime
declare @enddate as datetime
