I am trying to add a new field to a table using enterprise manager by right clicking on the table, choosing design table and adding the new field/column. But when I choose save changes, I receive an error message:
------------------------------------------------------------
Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of the database objects were not saved.
'Comments' Table
-Unable to modify table
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL SERVER] ...
... Cannot drop the table 'dbo.Comments' because it is being used for replication
-----------------------------------------------------------
If it helps I am trying to add a binary (bit) field and a text field of 50 characters. I think the replication it refers to is a merge replication (not sure though is there a way i can find out in EM?)
I have read some articles which refer to this problem and suggest using stored procedures but I really dont know how to do that, having never used them before. I need an idiots guide please!
Let me know if I need to provide more info. Thanks.
Are there any limitations or gotchas to updating the same table whichfired a trigger from within the trigger?Some example code below. Hmmm.... This example seems to be workingfine so it must be something with my specific schema/code.

From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database, i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company.
Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database, it gives me error saying that,
"There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider".
where xxx is the table name.
I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still the problem persist.
I have some rather large TSQL scripts I'd like to schedule as jobs. Unfortunately, the SysJobSteps table in the MSDB Database is limited to 3200 characters while I need it to be 5000. Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the size of this to allow for larger TSQL scripts?
I have a field called "assescode9" in a table called "Assessment" which has the length of "6" and I want to change this length to 7 or 8 in SQL. I tried right click on the field and modify but when I want to save it says you can not save the changes because it requires a Drop table and recreate or you do not have an option enabled to recreate the table, how do I do this?
I have never done dropping a table and recreate it?
have to recordsets with the following with the following SQL
SELECT place, count(minus)as countminus order by place group by place
THE RESULT WOULD BE
PLACE countminus
ABC 10 DEF 50 HIJ 5 KLM 2 MNO 0
MY OTHER QUERY IS SELECT plus, count(plus) as countplus GROUP BY plus ORDER BY plus
THE RESULT WOULD BE:
PLUS COUNTPLUS
ABC 10 DEF 20
my problem is i need to add another column to the first resultset (if possible) or create a table with the same field and values of the first result set with the additional column OF THE second resultset COUNTPLUS...
with this condition..
I need to loop with single row from the column PLACE on the first result set and compare it with the column PLUS on the second result set. if there is a value of the PLACE=PLUS get the corresponding value of the COLUMN COUNTPLUS AND WRITE it on the COUNTPLUS ON THE NEW TABLE.. ELSE THE VALUE IS 0 this i would do it up to the END OF FILE EOF...
THE RESULT WOULD BE THIS.....
PLACE countminus COUNTPLUS
ABC 10 10 DEF 50 20 HIJ 5 0 KLM 2 0 MNO 0 0
I WAS WORKING ON THIS BUT COULDN'T GET THROUGH IT ANYTHING WOULD BE A BIG HELP FOR ME FROM YOU GUYS
Completely new to the world of databases. I'm a designer who works primarily in Flash. In any case, I'm trying to manage an application that uses MS SQL and learn about the wonderful world of databases.
Ok, I modified a table (e.g. I added a column called "Rate") that had associated views (created by another developer). Noticed that my application went a little wonky as some of my variables within my app took on the value of the data in the "Rate" column. I checked one of the views and noticed that a column within the view (e.g. TutorID) was assuming the values in the "Rate" column. Note: The column TutorID had been blank before the change to the table. I'm completely lost as to why this is happening. Do I need to rebuild the view? Can I just reset the original view?
Thanks.
Oh yeah, I'm using SQL4X Manager J from Mac Guru (if that helps).
When I try to modify a table that I just created I get the following error message: - Unable to modify table ODBC error:[Mircrosoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver] Invalid cursor state.
SP3 has been applied to SQL Server 2000.
Can anyone help explain what is causing this error? There is sufficient space for the database and transaction log.
This program gets the values of A and B passed in. They are for table columns DXID and CODE. The textbox GET1 is initialized to B when the page is loaded. When I type another value in GET1 and try to save it, the original initialized value gets saved and not the new value I just typed in. A literal value, like "222" saves but the new GET1.TEXT doesn't.

I want to run that data through some substrings etc. and dump it into another table like this:
//THIS TABLE WILL BE WHERE WE PUT THE RESULTING DATA FROM //EXECUTING THE SUBSTRs AND OTHER FUNCTIONS TO PREP THE DATA FOR BASIS. CREATE TABLE ISIS_DATA_PREP (ISIS_STATUS_ID VARCHAR(15), STATUS VARCHAR(5), STUDENT_ID NUMERIC(15) CONSTRAINT ISIS_DATA_PREP_STUDENT_ID_PK PRIMARY KEY, LAST_NAME VARCHAR(25), FIRST_NAME VARCHAR(20), MID_INIT CHAR(1), CLASS NUMERIC(2), EXPIR_DATE VARCHAR(10), SEX CHAR(1), BIRTHDAY VARCHAR(10), CAT NUMERIC(3), SCHOOL VARCHAR(5))
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1 Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
QUESTION #1 - Is there an equivalent in MS SQL 2000 to Oracle's TONUM function?
So, to get around this I change all the fields in the receiving table (ISIS_DATA_PREP) to a varchar so there is no conversion necessary at this time.
Now I get this message:
Server: Msg 8152, Level 16, State 9, Line 1 String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated.
I look up this error on MS's knowledge base and get something along these lines:
...Because the truncated string is shorter than the maximum length, the char column that does not allow a null value and the char variable is padded with trailing blanks while the varchar column will not store trailing blanks....
QUESTION #2 -
What am I doing wrong on the field structure on the receiving table of the input command? I experimented by setting all fields to VARCHAR(25) so it would accept more data and not truncate, but still get the same message.
QUESTION #3 - My main question was for the syntax for INSERTing into a table from another table the rows in MS SQL. Basically copying the data. I have it for Oracle, but MS SQL doesn't seem to take it in that format.
Sorry for the absolutely massive post. : ) And thanks for any feedback.
I would like to know how to (if it is at all possible) in SQL (or even ADO) to retrieve all the data concerning database X's
a) Tables b) Tables column names c) Tables column's data types
I don't want to use the doa.tabledefs object.. .i would prefer to do it in SQL, but using ADO objects (since I am developing stuff in VB) would be ok too.
Please Help.. i have been going crazy trying to find anything useful.. email me back please!
I created a package using the Import Data wizard and everything works fine when I re-execute it. I needed to change the name of the destination table so I went into SQL Server and renamed the table. I then went in and edited the DTSX file via a text editor and changed the OpenRowset setting from [CMBS].[dbo].[raw_Note] -> [CMBS].[dbo].[T_Raw_Note]
<property id="104" name="OpenRowset" dataType="System.String" state="default" isArray="false" description="Specifies the name of the database object used to open a rowset." typeConverter="" UITypeEditor="" containsID="false" expressionType="None">[CMBS].[dbo].[T_Raw_Note]</property>
There are no other references to the table in the DTSX, i saved the file and then re-ran.
When I run, I get invalid object name dbo.raw_Note (old table name). Is there some data being cached somewhere or hidden elsewhere that it would reference the old table? When I go back into the DTSX file, the correct name is in there so I don't know where it is getting the old name from? Any help would be appreciated.
Let me first describe my report: I have the following table
Header Group 1 row--There is a textbox that in this row that when toggled makes visible the two below group 1 rows and the detail row. Group 1 row Group 1 row Detail row Group 2 row-- This row has a textbox that can hide the below group 2 row. Group 2 row-- This row contains a subreport.
Currently, I have a parameter that allows the user to conditionally collapse or show the tables' information for printing purposes so the user doesn't have to go through and click on so many plus signs. My problem is I would like to use a parameter to conditionally hide both of the Group 2 rows so that the user cannot view or click on them. The information in Group 2 is extra and not always needed, so I would like to provide the user with a way to hide this information when they go to view the report. However, I imagined this would be easy enough. I went to group2's visibility tab through the table interface and set the expression to "=IIF(Parameter!ShowIndexes.Value, FALSE, TRUE)". However, when I view the report the report is hiding the detail information as well as the Group2 rows.
I've been playing around with local reports for a while now. Trying to convert alot (about 800) reports made in a custom format(not XML) to the .RDLC used in MS Reports. I've been able to solve most converting problems by first figuring out how to make the different appearances of the report editor and testing, and afterwards implementing these in my converter program and testing until it makes the desired appearance on screen. Unfortunately I haven't been able to design all the reports similar to the originals(with the editor), so I was hoping somone here might be able to help me with this.
I'm trying to make a box around my table(the repeating part in the body) but find it kind of hard to do this. There are alot of data and the box should be on every page(I really hope this is possible).
I have made a simple report with a header and footer. In the header I have some textboxes and a horizontal line at the bottom. In the footer I have a horizontal line at the top, and som text at the bottom. This was intended for making the top and bottom lines in my 'box'. The rest of the box is made from two vertical lines, one on each side of the table in the body area of the report. These go down from the top of the body to the bottom.
The height of the header is 1 cm, the height of the body is 24.7 cm and the height of the footer is 4 cm making a total of 29.7cm (standard A4 paper height). Hope someone can help me solving this.

I have a DTS package package1 which imports an excel sheet into my DataBase.ANd its saved and scheduled and running fine.Actually the excel sheet will be located daily @ c:ruceexceldata.But now we wanted to change the location of the file to c:ruce1ewexceldata
I have a scheduled DTS package which gets the data from a text file and imports into a sql table.The table will be droped and created whenever the DTS package runs.previusly the table has 6 rows and now i wanted to add a column row_id which is having an idenity seed.So how can I modify my package so that I can get done with my requirements.
I have a query that I am working on that involves 2 tables. The query below is working correctly and bringing back the desired results, except I want to add 1 more column of data, and I'm not exactly sure how to write it.
What I want to add is the following data.
For each row that is brought back we want to have the COUNT(*) of users who joined the website (tbluserdetails) where their tbluserdteails.date is > the tblreferemails.referDate
Effectively we are attempting to track how well the "tell a friend" via email feature works, and converts to other joined members.
Any assistance is much appreciated!!

I probably know that I don't want to do this, but I have an odd case.
I have a database with a bunch of stored procedures and functions. 128 of them reference a different database than the one they're in. For testing puposes, I need to temporarily re-point these functions and procedures to a different database.
I suspect the answer will be a resounding 'No', but I was wondering if it was possible to somehow run a query against syscomments where I could update all of those objects with the temporary database name rather than edit each and every one of them. Conceptually, it would just be an UPDATE using REPLACE. Pretty comfortable with that, but I'm always very reluctant to mess with stuff like that.
I'll probably still just do it through QA, but I was wondering if it's possible to do something like that and thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion.
I want to drop a table from a publication , so that i can copy some data from another server . After the copy , i want to add the article or the table back again to the publication without making any changes to the subscribers configuration .
Is it really possible on SQL 7.0 ? Right now it does not allow me to copy the data to the published table or even drop the article (table) and it says that the article is published for replication and cannot be dropped or modified . The table is configured for transactional replication .
I will have to drop the entire publication and create all the subcribers again .
