Truncate Table On Linked Server?
May 15, 2006Can one use Truncate Table on a linked server table? When I try it, I get a
message that only two prefixes are allowed. Here's what I'm using:
Truncate Table svrname.dbname.dbo.tablename
Can one use Truncate Table on a linked server table? When I try it, I get a
message that only two prefixes are allowed. Here's what I'm using:
Truncate Table svrname.dbname.dbo.tablename
Does anyone know who I can truncate the transaction log of a database that
is on a linked server?
TRUNCATE LOG [linked server].[dbo].[database] WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
does not work.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I am new to SQL Server. I have a table which is paritioned by Value (String). Can I write a stored procedure or an SQL Statment to truncate a particular partition in SQL Server. Please suggest me on this.
Thanks

I have a basic load proc (loading a staging area.) that truncates a target table just before inserting fresh data in said table, all wrapped in a distributed transaction. What happens (only with certain tables and very inconsistently.) is the truncate will fail (no error) and duplicate data ends up in the target table since no wipe actually occurs. This proc only started having this issue when we went from SQL 2008 to SQL 2014.

We used to used Sql Server 2000 DTS to perform daily backups to remote servers very successfully but just cannot do the same with SSIS.
I set my Transfer Sql Transfer Objects Task to use the following settings:
CopyData = true
ObjectsTocopy = All Tables
As soon as it hits a table that has a foreign key, I get the following error:
"Truncate data failed for Table nnn"
I've tried setting DropObjectsFirst = True but this fails too with foreign key violations.
First of all, am I doing something obviously wrong? Is SSIS not smart enough to drop tables in the right order so that we don't get foreign key violations?
Am I totally barking up the wrong tree with this and can anyone suggest a better way of doing remote backups?
Kind regards

I am using SQL Server 2005 and trying to create a linked server on Oracle 10. I used the commands below:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver
@server = 'test1',
@srvproduct = 'Oracle',
@provider = 'MSDAORA',
@datasrc = 'testsource'
exec sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = 'test1',
@useself = 'false',
@rmtuser='sp',
@rmtpassword='sp'
When I execute
select * from test1...COUNTRY
I get the error. "The OLE DB provider "MSDAORA" for linked server "...." does not contain the table "COUNTRY". The table either does not exist or the current user does not have permissions on that table."
The 'sp' user I am connecting is the owner of the table. What could be the problem ?
Thanks a lot.
I couldn't find any tutorials/articles on integrating a SharePoint web service call with an SSIS package
I need to schedule a web service to truncate and populate SharePoint Lists (2007 & 2003) from a SQL Server 2005 table.
I guess I'm just ignorant about integrating web services with SSIS. How do I make a call to the web service through my SSIS package? (script task?)
Any links to articles/tutorials or pointers would be apreciated.
Strange one here - I am posting this in both SQL Server and Access forums
Access is telling me it can't append any of the records due to a key violation.
The query:
INSERT INTO dbo_Colors ( NameColorID, Application, Red, Green, Blue )
SELECT Colors_Access.NameColorID, Colors_Access.Application, Colors_Access.Red, Colors_Access.Green, Colors_Access.Blue
FROM Colors_Access;
Colors_Access is linked from another MDB and dbo_Colors is linked from SQL Server 2000.
There are no indexes or foreign contraints on the SQL table. I have no relationships on the dbo_ table in my MDB. The query works if I append to another Access table. The datatypes all match between the two tables though the dbo_ tables has two additional fields not refrenced in the query.
I can manually append the records using cut and paste with no problems.
I have tried re-linking the tables.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Brad
Here is my issue I am new to 2005 sql server, and am trying to take my old data which is exported to a txt file and import it to tables in sql. The older database is non relational, and I had made several exports for the way I want to build my tables. I built my packages fine and everything is working until I start building relationships. I remove my foreign key and the table with the primary key will get updated for the package again. I need to update the data daily into sql, and once in it will only be update from the package until the database is moved over.
It will run and update with a primary key until I add a foreign key to another database.
Here is my error when running the package when table 2 has a foreign key.
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "TRUNCATE TABLE [consumer].[dbo].[Client] " failed with the following error: "Cannot truncate table 'consumer.dbo.Client' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
SQL Server 7.0 (SP1)
Error:
------
OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' supplied inconsistent metadata. An extra column was supplied during execution that was not found at compile time.
A column was deleted from the a table on the linked server and now this message appears when using the linked server definition to access the table. Deleting/Recreating the Linked Server has no effect. I found an earlier note on this...but it just kind of ended with no resolution. Anyone have any thoughts on this now.
Thanks for any input.
i did a Stored Procedure to truncate a table. it contains lots of crap from testing the site. just a simple 1 ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.TruncateUploads
AS
TRUNCATE TABLE Uploads but it says "Cannot truncate table 'Uploads' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint." then i make NULL all foreign keys and try still cannot. then i did it manually deleting all records then can! but why can't i truncate it? isn't it the same as removing all values plus having the primary keys to start from 0?
How can i TRUNCATE my table (removes rows that were produced at testing), so that in the actual running the automated IDNumber for my table start with 1.
View 6 Replies View Relatedhi, I have two tables members table and orders table.
I have 2 records in members table and zero records in order table.
When I try to truncate members table I get an error message.
cannot truncate table members,because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint.
this what blows my head, There is no records in orders table. so why would the constraint enforced when there is no data in the order table. I created same table in access and I was able to delete a member from the members table. any comments.
thanks

I have several very large tables and sometimes I need to clean them.
It's known that TRUNCATE TABLE works much faster than DELETE, but impossible to use TRUNCATE TABLE on a table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint... Is it possible temporary disable (not delete) constraints and after complition of TRUNCATE enable them ?
Hi,
(From Bol)
"You Cannot Use Truncate Table On A Table Referenced By A Foreign Key
Constraint;"
1) States
Statecode TinyintPrimary Key
Statename Varchar(25)
2) Rivers
RivercodeSmallint Primary Key
RivernameVarchar(40)
3) Riverinstates
StatecodeTinyint,
RivercodeSmallint,
Constraint Pkriverinstates Primary Key(Statecode,Rivercode),
Constraint Fkriverinstates
Foreign Key (Statecode) References States(Statecode),
Foreign Key (Rivercode) References Rivers(Rivercode)
after removing all rows from RiverInStates Table using TRUNCATE and the command completed successfully.
when i tried to remove all rows from Rivers table , i got the following error.
"Server: Msg 4712, Level 16, State 1, Line 76
Cannot truncate table 'rivers' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN
KEY constraint."
i thought the error may be due to the "Fkriverinstates" FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINT. so i DROPped the constraint with
ALTER TABLE RiverinStates DROP CONSTRAINT Fkriverinstates
even after DROPping the constraint, im getting the same error
can any one point out where the problem is?
thanks in advance
what is the best way to truncate/delete records from a table at a certain time of the day...... i'm sure this is a simple ?, but i'm still learning sql.

I have a database of 25 GB. I truncated a table which holds around 5 GB of data.
Even after truncation, I see my database size as 25 GB...
Should I run a shrink database after the truncation?
Thanks

I'm very new to SQL server so forgive me for the newbie questions.
Basically I have some tables/files on an AS/400.
I want to have a link to those files/tables from SQL server 2005 (like how you would link a file in msAccess.
Is this possible?
I have somme users who need to truncate some tables owned by DBO. I know that only table owner or DBO can execute TRUNCATE TABLE but I don't want grant DBO permission to those users. Do you have any suggestion ? Thanks a lot.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I have a truncate table statement in a stored proc, will my log backups be compromised due to the nonlogged operations. If so, what are my alternatives in case that I need to restore? Differential backups?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am doing the following-
begin transaction
truncate table Acounts
select * from Accounts
rollback
select * from Accounts
The first select is returning 0 rows as expected. But after doing the rollback I expected to yet see 0 rows as truncate is not logged so cannot be rolled back. But to my suprise I see that there are rows.
So the rollback is rolling back the truncate table statement. Can someone please explain this????
I know that only the owner of a table can truncate it.
I want a user to run a procedure that truncates a table. Both the procedure and the table are owned by dbo, however the system says that the user can't truncate the tables because she doesn't have permission. The user has dataread and datawrite global permissions, and I do not want to give her dbo perimssions.
Is there a solution to this?
Hi all,
Is it possible to TRUNCATE a table and BCP data into the same table in one
TRANSACTION?
My problem is that I want to refresh(delete and via BCP append new data) a
table without disturbing running applications. Can I run BCP from a
SQL-script or a stored procedure?
Thank`s

Does anybody know of a way to allow non-administrators to execute the truncate table statement?
I have developers that from time to time need to move data between their databases usinge the DTS wizard. Most of their tables have identity columns and in order retain the identity seed, they need to click on the option to enable identity insert. This option isn't available to non administrators.
Error Message "Cannot TRUNCATE TABLE 'HR.dbo.Employee' ".
All of a sudden (!) I began to get this error whle attempting to run a multi-step job: This is during a very simple T-SQL statement.
Executed as user: EPRODSQLAdmin. Cannot TRUNCATE TABLE 'HR.dbo.Employee' because it is being referenced by object 'v_apps_Employee'. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 3729). The step failed.
Tables are being referenced by views all the time... Why would I begin to get this message?
The only thing I can think of is that I had just made my first "indexed view" ever, and it is in this database. Could that be related to the new error message?

Can We Use Truncate Command on a table which is Refernced by Foreign Key?
HI,
I am trying to find a replication solution. It does not have to be real-time, but snapshot will not work since the database is too big. I was trying to configure Transactional replication. The replication itself worked good, but the Truncate table is not allowed in the transactional replication and merge replication. We have to use "Truncate table" in another processes during replication. Is there any other option or third party application I can use to do the replication with truncate table working. I tried Replication Exec, but it does not support 64bit system, which we have.
Hi group,In one of the books 'Gurus Guide to Transact SQL' i found this info:------------------------------------------------------------TRUNCATE TABLE empties a table without logging row deletions in thetransaction log. It can't be used withtables referenced by FOREIGN KEY constraints, and it invalidates thetransaction log for the entire database.Once the transaction log has been invalidated, it can't be backed upuntil the next full database backup.------------------------------------------------------------Does it mean that the log backup taken after table truncation is aninvalid backup?Help me! i'm lost....Thanks in advanceRonin*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,We have a heavily used production server and a table which logs everyhit on a web site. This table has grown large over time and we want toclear it down as efficiently as possible. We would like to issue atruncate table statement, but with millions of rows we are a bit waryof how this will affect server performance. The alternative is todelete is stages using rowcount but of course this will generate alarge amount of logging.Can anyone confirm whether issuing a truncate table will have anyaffect on performance - i.e. does it just clear a header block ordooes it have to do more?CheersMartin
