I have a view that combines several tables, and lastly one column that is determined by a subquery.
i.e.
CREATE VIEW [View]
AS
SELECT
[TableA].*,
[TableB].*,
(SELECT TOP 1 [Column] FROM [TableC] ORDER BY [Column2])
AS [SpecialColumn]
FROM [TableA] INNER JOIN [TableB]
ON [TableA].[ColumnID] = [TableB].[ColumnID]
I have made INSTEAD OF UPDATE and INSTEAD OF INSERT triggers for this view that will then allow you to modify [View], and it will handle everything, adding/modifying the data in the three [TableX] tables accordingly.
In SQL Management Studio, the following code works fine, and is what is expected...
UPDATE [View] SET [SpecialColumn] = 1 WHERE [ColumnID] = @DesiredID
This will call my instead of trigger and update my special column accordingly exactly how I want it to.
Now, the problem lies in the application layer running on top of the database and how it accesses the view. Any call from the application to update [SpecialColumn] returns an OleDB error stating that [SpecialColumn] can not be modified. I assume that sql server is identifying the column as some sort of a derived column that normally wouldn't be able to be updated, and OleDB is restricting the column to just read only. Is there some way to override that in my view to say that the column is not read-only? Is this an OleDB restriction that can't be handled in the database/view itself?
I've also tried creating a stored procedure that called the exact same
UPDATE [View]
SET [SpecialColumn] = @param2
WHERE [ColumnID] = @param1
and it also works within management studio, but still gives a similar OleDB error about how the stored procedure attempts to update a derived column that can not be modified.
I have a solution where my stored procedure calls the exact same code as the instead of triggers to update the underlying tables of the view manually, however, I'm not asking for a solution like this to my problem, because this works fine, I simply am not happy having to do band-aid workarounds and am wondering if this is a common problem in front-ends and whether it can be handled on the database layer.
I have a view that used to be updateable (except for a few fields, but that is fine). When I use the results of a CASE statement as one of the field values, the entire view is not updateable. The view is pasted below. Does anyone know how to keep my view updateable and, somehow, add this new field? Thank you.

I am hoping to create an updatable view from two tables joined on twofields. I have two questions;1. How can I enforce a one to one relation in sql server 2005 based on twofields? Do I need to create one explicitly under relations? Do I cerate anindex on both fields? Is there a step by step process I can look at tocreate one-one relations?2. Is a view updateable if there is a where clause on one of the fields inthe join/relation?Thank again.Regards
How do I make a view non updateable? I want to create a view so that Iwill not be able to update, insert or delete the view so that basetable is not affected (except dropping the view itself). Thanks.
I think it whould be simpler to explain what I am trying to accomplish. I wish to pull a query to return multiple records from a SQL 7.0 database. The query is a customers standing order. I wish to make edits to multiple records then return those records for update. The HTML pages that I have seen all seem to display tables on a singular record format. Is it possible to display records in a 'Table' format and allow it to be updated. Can any one answer this or direct me to a site with the relevent info. Thanks Stuart Indtec@eircom.net
I've been experiencing conflicts in my replication system that I can't seem to get my head around. The following is the scenario:
3 sqlservers, all running sql server 2005. Server B is the publisher and Server A and Server C (64 bit) are subscribers. The Queue Reader Agent runs on the publisher. I set up transactional repl with updateable subscriptions with the default conflict resolution policy of 'Publisher wins'.
There are 2 kinds of processes: 1. Nightly batch updates and 2. Daytime updates by real clients. The Nightly batch updates runs an on the publisher, which is B. Batch updates are massive updates and running it on the publisher makes sense and it works like a charm. Online updates are made on the subscriber 'C'. This subscriber is set to Queued update mode, and everyday I see a significant number of transactions that are detected as conflicts and the Publisher wins. As a result the changes made on Server C are getting lost. I have verified that no user/client is logged into Server B to do any updates. Users complain that their updates are lost. This is the most puzzling and frustrating bit. I don't see how a conflict can happen if nobody is updating data on the Publisher during the day. SQL Updates on Server C are getting rolled back on a conflict detection because the "Publisher wins", and SQL Inserts on server C are getting deleted because they don't exist on the publisher. Now, how can a insert done on the subscriber be marked as a conflict. There is no row on the publisher to compare the unique guid with, how can it be a conflict?
And the Queue Reader Agent crashes every 3-4 days. No useful information except it creates a dump file for which users have no tools to read it.
Has anyone seen this behavior ? Or is there a known bug in the QueueReader Agent?
My users are losing faith in the replication system and so am I.
Does anyone have advice as choosing between merge replication and updatable subscriptions? I've read the documentaion, they seem to offer the same functionality, and I don't see any clear guidelines as to why to pick one over the other...any suggestions would be appreciated!
Hello, We have two updateable subscribers and a publisher using transactional replication. The distributor is located on publisher. Currenetly all 3 sites are SQL 2000 SP3. We plan to upgrade all sites to sp4 with minimum downtime (if possible zero). Is it possible to upgrade publisher/distributor first and subscribers after few days? Thanks, np70
We have a database set up for transactional replication with an updateable subscription. When we add log shipping to the publication database (sending the logs to a separate server) the publication and subscription entry show up in Management Studio's replication folder on the log ship target server (although the definitions are correct).
Is this configuration legitimate? Can I add log shipping to the subscription database as well?
I am using RMO to synchronize an updateable transactional pull subscription from Sql Express SP2 to Sql Server 2005 64-bit Standard Edition. The data propogates from the server to the client, but changed data on the client does not replicate to the server. Any ideas?
When I include a field from my SQL Server database, which has it's Allow Nulls value checked, in the data source of any type of control with it's Enable Editing property check, I then can not edit the record! If I remove the Allow Nulls field I can then edit it! What am I missing here?
Replication Type: Transactional With Updateable Subscriptions SQL Server Version: SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition Publisher, Subscriber1 and Subscriber2 all on same SQL Server
Problem: I am trying to set up a transactional replication with two updateable subscriptions. All three databases are a carbon copy of each other. Every table to be replicated contains an identity key column. I've been asked to create the replication without assigning separate identity ranges for the publisher and the updateable subscriptions. In other words they want a continous ID range. Can this be done without managing identity ranges programatically outside of SQL Server itself?
Example:
Publisher inserts into table test1 in database1. This creates ID 100 for the record. ID 100 replicates to Subscriber1 (database2) and Subscriber2 (database3). Subscriber1 and 2 identity seeds are then incremented to ID 100. So far, all three databases have the same identity seed in table test1. Subscriber1 inserts into table test1 in database2. This creates ID 101 for the record. ID 101 is replicated to Subscriber2 (database3) and to the publisher (database1). Subscriber2 identity seed is then incremented to ID 101. However, the Publisher retains it's original identity seed of 100. Insert into Publisher table test1 will fail since it will try to insert the identity seed of 101 which is taken.
I have tried identity range management Automatic and Manual. Both seem to have some limitations in managing identity seeds unless different identity ranges are assigned for publisher and subscriber.
Can someone recommend a solution to this problem? Can this be done natively in SQL Server 2005 replication. Or can some recommend another approach to make this work?
I have used the Access 2003 Upsize Wizard to create SQLServer Tables, all worked fine except I cannot Update the tables from Access.
The idea being to use Access Forms as the front end to an SQLserver back end as the Access database is quite complex and filled with macros and queries, not one of mine.
I can update the table in SQLServer but the connected tables at the Access end are read only. Why?
We have many users with a mobile application running SQL Mobile and using merge replication to get data back to the SQL 2008 R2 database. This has worked very well for many years.
We now have a requirement to have this data reported on using Reporting Services. This is where it gets messy.
Due to a limitation of Report Builder(see this blog) we cannot provide access to users for creating their own reports. The report database is remote from the host and there is no VPN.
We hit upon the idea of creating an almost identical publication but the articles as read-only. It was only after this was done that we started having trouble with our existing mobile users.
It seems that a published article is EITHER Bi-directional OR Read-only even if they are in separate publications.
I then thought of using Transactional Publication but this too is blocked on creation with "automatic identity range support is useful only for publications that allow updating subscribers"(Merge and Transactional publication are mutually exclusive)
So in the final analysis is there a way for me to have merge replication AND some other form of SQL replication/data transfer that can have the same data transmitted readonly to a separate full SQL server database?
I am looking to create a constraint on a table that allows multiplenulls but all non-nulls must be unique.I found the following scripthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/Files/0.../Listing_01.txtthat works fine, but the following lineCREATE UNIQUE CLUSTERED INDEX idx1 ON v_multinulls(a)appears to use indexed views. I have run this on a version of SQLStandard edition and this line works fine. I was of the understandingthat you could only create indexed views on SQL Enterprise Edition?
Write a CREATE VIEW statement that defines a view named Invoice Basic that returns three columns: VendorName, InvoiceNumber, and InvoiceTotal. Then, write a SELECT statement that returns all of the columns in the view, sorted by VendorName, where the first letter of the vendor name is N, O, or P.
This is what I have so far,
CREATE VIEW InvoiceBasic AS SELECT VendorName, InvoiceNumber, InvoiceTotal From Vendors JOIN Invoices ON Vendors.VendorID = Invoices.VendorID
I created a query, which makes use of a temp table, and I need the results to be displayed in a View. Unfortunately, Views do not support temp tables, as far as I know, so I put my code in a stored procedure, with the hope I could call it from a View....
I compared view query plan with query plan if I run the same statementfrom view definition and get different results. View plan is moreexpensive and runs longer. View contains 4 inner joins, statisticsupdated for all tables. Any ideas?
I had given one of our developers create view permissions, but he wants to also modify views that are not owned by him, they are owned by dbo.
I ran a profiler trace and determined that when he tries to modify a view using query designer in SQLem or right clicks in SQLem on the view and goes to properties, it is performing a ALTER VIEW. It does the same for dbo in a trace (an ALTER View). He gets a call failed and a permission error that he doesn't have create view permissions, object is owned by dbo, using both methods.
If it is doing an alter view how can I set permissions for that and why does it give a create view error when its really doing an alter view? Very confusing.
CREATE VIEW dbo.vwFeat AS SELECT dbo.Lk_Feat.Descr, dbo.Lk_Feat.Price, dbo.Lk_Feat.Code, dbo.SubFeat.SubNmbr FROM dbo.Lk_Feat INNER JOIN dbo.SubFeat ON dbo.Lk_Feat.Idf = dbo.SubFeat.Idt
When ever I open using SQL Entreprise manager to edit it by adding or removing a field i inserts Expr1,2.. and I don t want that. The result I get is:
SELECT dbo.Lk_Feat.Descr AS Expr1, dbo.Lk_Feat.Price AS Expr2, dbo.Lk_Feat.Code AS Expr3, dbo.SubFeat.SubNmbr AS Expr4 FROM dbo.Lk_Feat INNER JOIN dbo.SubFeat ON dbo.Lk_Feat.Idf = dbo.SubFeat.Idt
I don t want Entreprise manager to generate the Expr fields since I use the real fields in my application. Thanks for help
I was looking through our vendors views, searching for something Ineeded for our Datawarehouse and I came across something I do notunderstand: I found a view that lists data when I use it in t-sql,however when I try to use the statement when I modified the view (viaMS SQL Server Management Studio) I can not execute the statement.

A colleague of mine has a view that returns approx 100000 rows in about 60 seconds.
He wants to use the data returned from that view in an OLE DB Source component.
When he selects the view from the drop-down list of available tables then SSIS seems to hang without any data being returned (he waited for about 15 mins).
He then changed the OLE DB Source component to use a SQL statement and the SQL statement was: SELECT * FROM <viewname>
In this instance all the data was returned in approx 60 seconds (as expected).
This makes no sense. One would think that selecting a view from the drop-down and doing a SELECT *... from that view would be exactly the same. Evidently that isn't the case.
