HiWe have an internal ms access database which we need to synchronise with ourwebsite with sql server 2005 backend which is hosted on a public host. Myquestion is; is there a way to keep the two databases synchronised using thetechnologies built in sql server 2005 and/or access? We also have thepossibility of an in-house sql server 2000. Can this be used in anyway tohelp, perhaps by moving data from in house access to in house sql server2000 and then synching sql server 2000 and remote sql server 2005?ThanksRegards
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, can anyone point me in the right direction of how to sync an in-house SQL Server 7 with a remote SQL server 7.
We are a development house. We build website using SQL server 7 databases then move them up to an entirely different SQL server 7 database in a remote location.
Now, please don't laugh, currently we export all the data from the development server into a csv and import it back into the live server. As you can imagine, it's clunky, time consuming and unreliable.
Is there a way to automatically sync the two? I tried desperately to find any information but even the MicroSoft MCSE training manual on SQL doesn't say how to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I've installed development server and created the databases, and restore the ddatabase from backups of production server, There the users in the databases which are not in sysxlogins in master, Please guide me how I can synchronise the logins? Can I bcp out sysxlogins from development and then bcp in in development server? Is there any way there even groups in the database and do I have to corncern about any other tables in master db
Thanks in Advance

Hey folks,
I'm looking to gather ideas on this before I start the project; so what better way to start than to ask here? ;)
The situation is this: we are in the process of replacing a large data driven application with a new one. Before turning the old'un off (that's not for a minimum of 6 months), we need to migrate data between the two entirely different schemas, and I've been tasked with writing the interfaces.
Now, here comes the kicker; they don't just want a "straight-forward data conversion", they want to run a period where they can still update both databases and any changes in the old one are to be pushed into the new db.
Because the schemas are not the same, I believe replication is out of the question so I was looking for advice as to what possibilies I have ahead of me to achieve this.
I fear I may not have expained this well enough; so as always if there are holes in the detail let me know and I'll do my best to fill them in :)
Old db = SQL Server 2000
New db = 2005
Thanks,

Hello guys,
I'm stumped. Is there a way to get a compact edition client (running on a standard PC) to automatically sync. (using merge replication) with a server on a schedule?
I can quite happily pull up SQL Managerment Studio and sync. on the client, but I want to have something running in the background basically doing this for me (again, on the client). I know I can do it in code, but we've not yet received our Visual Studio package, so for the moment, I want something already written to do it for me.
Surely this must be possible?
Thanks in advance!
I have a problem synching my xda mini s with my pc using vista. A previous thread was unhelpfully closed by Ilya as being off topic; well it isn't on topic anywhere else. At least not according to microsoft's own search engine. Ilya, why not try giving a helpful answer instead of 'not my problem'? My xda will not synch using vista; XP and ActivSync has been perfect. I've tried installing mobile device centre version 6.1 but I suspect vista isn't compatible with Windows mobile version 5.1. Should it be? If not, is there a patch or is upgrading to vista going to cost another couple of hundred pounds to get a compatible mobile device? If so, I'm off to a different operating system. Perhaps, like many others, back to XP and let Microsoft continue to dither around and experiment on others.

I have a production system running sql 2000 server 32 bit
Now i am planning to move to SQL server 2005 64 bit setup .
I need to have a set up of both SQL 2000 and sql 2005 in parallel for some time until it is sure that the sytem can completly move .
The problem is how do i synchronize the data in the two servers when they are operating parallely.....
Please advice.
Thanks in advance......
I have a table that is used for reporting, the problem is that the data in the table is refreshed every 30 minutes with a bulk insert. I am trying to find a way to have two tables that are mirror images of each other and when the loading table is loaded, then the table assumes the identity of the reporting table. The basic prinicpal is I need to have the table be available almost all the time and when the bulk insert is happening, users cannot query. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a SQL 2005 Mobile db merge synching to SQL Server 2005. I've been using this for a few months now and generally it works well (except when adding not null columns with default values, but that's another story...). I just added a new table to the server, went into the publication articles and checked the new table. It told me I would need to generate a new snapshot for the table, so I then generated a new snapshot. Then I synched the mobile db and it worked with no errors, but the new table I added on the server is not on the mobile db (I checked using the Query Analyzer). I have also tried reinitializing subscriptions, but this didn't work either. Any ideas why this table would not be synched to my mobile db (and no error message on mobile device)?

Greg
Hi,
It appears that every 5 or so days, my transactional replication is hanging. I see that I have a couple thousand undistributed commands and this number keeps growing. It forces me to generate a snapshot in order to sync up. When generating the snapshot, I will get frequent messages like "waiting for a response from server...". So I will keep stopping and starting syncronization. Eventually the snapshot will go out, with a delay after generation.
Has anyone experienced this?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
Hello!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to replicate data from a view in the publisher to a table in the subscriber (transaction replication). I do not need the view's base table, or the view itself, replicated to the subscriber. I only want to data from the view to feed a table in the subscriber.
Is this possible?
Running SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
when i do a snapshot i have it set up to truncate before inserting. As a result I'm getting an error saying that it cant truncate a table reference in an indexed view. What settings should i use to allow for a snapshot in this instance? Should i manually drop the databinding then snap then recreate the databinding? there has to be a better way
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have few tables, which are replicated and partitioned. They also have archival process. I want to avoid having to run that same process on the subscriber.
Replication of partition switching is easy. However I am not sure how to replicate merge range and empty filegroup/file drops.
There the following article options:
Copy file group associations
Copy table partitioning schemes
Copy index partitioning schemes
I am not sure if these are enough to implement the replication of merge range and empty filegroup/file drops.
I could not find and option to copy partition functions.
I need to copy all the data from all the tables in a database to a copy of this database on another server.
What feature of SSIS should I take advantage of to accomplish this?
We have an SLA for 8am, most times the data warehousing jobs complete at 8:05am. Adding an additional process/set of tasks to this package would obviously make matters so I'm trying to update/copy/replicate the data in the fastest manner. Typically we're talking 2 marts (10-20GB) with 2 large tables (5-10 mill records) and 20 marts (0.5 - 5 GB) with many more smaller tables (~40 tables with record count ranging from 1 to a million)
Additionally please indicate if the design/feature you suggest can handle (pushing schema changes and additions to the target server) schema changes or new tablesviews added to the source database.
My only idea so far...is using the import wizard (in Management Studio) to create an SSIS package (top copy all the tables from one server to another) and saving it to the server, Then executing this package after the job is complete. However this would not work if the schema of a table changed, or if a a table is added. Moreover I don't think I can edit this package in visual studio.
I am trying to replicated table A into table B withing the same server and the same database.
I am getting an error message when trying to configure the subscription: You have selected the Publisher as a Subscriber and entered a subscription database that is the same as the publishing database. Select another subscription database.
Is there any workaround for this?
I am using SQL Server 2008 R2.
Hello,
I have been unable to create a replication from an SQL Server 2005 standard edition database to remote SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The remote express edition is on a Virtual Private Server we are leasing from a hosting company. The name of the remote DB is similar to vs572.si-vs572.com. I can connect to this with SQL server authentication through Management Studio and also with SSIS. But, I have been unable to create a push subscription (I have tried a test push subscription with the same publication to a local SQL Express server here in our office and this works fine).
Here is the error message: SQL Server Replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'VS572SQLEXPRESS'.
The hosting company had originally installed a shared SQL server which would not support replication. They then installed SQL Express edition and I was hoping this would allow us to run a replication.
I tried to connect to VS572SQLEXPRESS with out any luck. I check the remote connections, made sure replication was installed, etc., but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

I need to replicate from a SQL 7.0 server to SQL 6.5 server.
Has anyone done it, or does anyone know if it can be done?
Thanks in advance

Hi gang,
I'm 99% sure this is possible, but I wanted to confirm before I go upgrading one box in our replication scheme without having to do all the others (which are geographically dispersed):
Can an SP2 box replicate (merge replication in our case) with pre-SP2 servers? Most of our servers don't even have SP1 applied, and we're ready to upgrade, but I want to be sure I can do them one at a time rather than all at once.
Cheers,
Matt
Can we replicate views in SQL 2000 or SQL 7.0 ? If yes please let us know How
Thanks
We are performing snapshot replications from one server to another, however the permissions are not being taken across.
When we manually reset them, the next replication will quite happily remove all permissions.
Any help appreciated.

I am trying to create an auto off-site backup of an entire database. This would include databases and users. It should also include changes made throughout the day.
Something challenging about this is I want it to also include design changes that may have been done throughout the day.
I understand log shipping or replication can deal with the data part of my solution. But how can I copy over the logins, users, and design changes?
Is it possible to have design changes replicated from publishers to subscribers?
I am using Sql2000 and have 6 servers. On this 6 servers 4 servers have the same database
MY QUESTION is i need a script or advice that will help to do this:
Every time data chages in 1 of the 4 servers that have the same database, I want all changes to happen in the other 3 so that they must always have the same information
Good Day Gurus
I posted a question about replicating logins to the database and the answer i got about doing a DTS to transfer logins is not good for me, is it possible to replicate syslogins tables so that i can do this if so, how because they are not listed Database and Publications when i try to create a publication, only individual created databases can be seen.
The reason for this is because when the DBA decides to change the user permission, i want the info to be merge replicated to the subscriber. At this moment i can run the DTS to transfer the login but it won't know when the logins have been updated and hence i won't know when to run it.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I am very new to SQL Server. Plenty of SQL knowledge but the whoe SQL server enviornment is new.
I am working with SQL Server 2005. My task is to generate reports without affecting our live database. I have setup a second server and installed SQL Server 2005 on that too. My thought was that maybe I could mirror or replicate the table I require over to this new server and run my queries from here. Is this easy to do ?
I read that mirroring might not work as it is solely for back up /fall over purposes and that data on the mirrored server would not be accessible.
I have also been looking at SSIS but at the moment this is all a bit like double dutch to me ! Can anyone point me in the right direction, preferably somewhere beginner friendly ie not overly complicated !!
Thanks a mill,
Sophie
I am using Sql 2005 and merge replication. I am relying on the feature where schema changes are replicated to subscribers but I have come across a situation where schema changes stop being replicated.
This is the scenario:
I create a database and publish it for merge replication.
I add subscribers.
If I need to change the published database I can use ALTER TABLE ddl and the subscriber gets the changes.
If I have to add or remove a merge article as part of a database change I specify the @force_invalidate_snapshot=1, @force_reinit_subscription=1. No any ALTER TABLE statements following the article change will NOT be replicated.
Is this a known 'feature'? Is it because @force_reinit_subscription is set to 1?
Can anyone help me?

Hello,
We have four mobile devices that are set up for merge replication via the web. We are not receiving errors but some of the data is not coming over to the devices. If we manually add a record that record will come over, but there is data that is on the server that isn't on the devices. If we run the snapshot for each device (We're using host_name as a filter) nothing happens. If we do validation check we get errors. If we reinitialize all devices it works but the next days data (sql job populates data to the publisher db at night) isn't on the device after syncing the next morning. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a sql 2005 publisher and distributor and a sql 2000 subscribers. for some reason on one of the subscribers i'm getting errors that it can't replicate the UDT's. i tried a new snapshot and made sure it was set not to replicate UDT's but i'm still getting Create Type errors.
would anyone have any idea why it's trying to create UDT's at the subscriber when i specify not to replicate UDT's?
Hi there,
I'm using Sql 2005 merge replication and I have noticed something, I'm not sure if this is true or not:...
My publication is set to replicate schema changes (replicate_ddl = 1). Now, I have noticed that schema changes are only replicated if the current snapshot is valid. Is this right? If so why?
My next question carries on from the first. If I'm about to run a TSQL script on my publisher that will add a column or two to a published table, how do I ensure my snapshot is valid inorder for the ddl changes to be replcated? Should I be using:
EXEC sp_mergearticlecolumn
@publication = <publicationname>,
@article = <article name>,
@force_invalidate_snapshot = 1,
@force_reinit_subscription = 1
on each table I modifiy, after I have added the new column?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
I have a database that is being set up for merge replication (Sql 2005), but there is one table that I only want the schema replicating, not the data - I never want the data to be replicated in either direction. I can see from sp_addmergearticle that you can do something like this for sp's or functions but is it possible to do this for tables?

Graham
