Using Multiple Versions Of SQL Server In A Replication Topology
Nov 24, 2006
Hi there,
I have one publicacion on ms sql 2005 Enterprise w.sp1/MS Windows 2003 Enterprise w.sp2 and one subscriber on MS sql 2005 Enterprise w.sp1/MS Windows 2003 w.sp2, but I have also 3 subscriber on MS SQL 2000 w.sp3/MS Windows 2000 advanced server w.sp4. They replicate the same database with a publication compatible with 80RTM, All works fine with data replication, but I can't replicate DDL to MS sql 2005 suscriber, I don't care that don't replicate DDL, but I want manually alter triggers at MS sql 2005 suscriber, but I get this error at the subscriber on when I run the ALTER TRIGGER statement :
Msg 21531, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_altertrigger, Line 67
The DDL statement cannot be performed at the Subscriber or Republisher.
Msg 21530, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSmerge_ddldispatcher, Line 181
The DDL operation failed inside merge DDL replication manipulation.
Msg 3609, Level 16, State 2, Procedure TU_Centros_Distribucion_Articulos, Line 58
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
Any help will be appreciated,
PD. I miss sql2000 replication, where I have full control over the database logic

Hi,
I am given with the responsibility to set up database replication in my organisation.
Before starting the replication set up, I would like to know which is the best suited replication for my application.
My application is much process oriented, and the users are working on records parallely(but with different records).
Say for ex:
There is a module for Insurance claim processing, it is handled in the following manner:
There are many employees with CSR roles, and all are working on some set of records to be processed. But No two employees should get the same record for processing. For that, we are doing locking of the cases by having one column called 'LOCKED_STATUS' and setting value as LOCKED. So that other users wont get the same case. Once the case is processed, the record is marked as unlocked.
My analysis for replication is as follows:
1. Snapshot replication: This wont be a suitable type of replication as the updations are to be immediately updated on all the subscribers, because when the user executes select query to get the next unlocked case, No 2 user should be able to get the same case.
I think, the best replication to chose from is, Transactional replication with Immediate Updation/Queued updation. But the problem is, when one of the subscriber goes offline, the updations are queued up. But in my case, say for ex. One case is updated as locked, but the subscriber is offline and the updations are queued up. At the same time, the other subscriber can fire an select query to get the next unlocked case. Since the update is on queue, there are possibilies for this subscriber to get
the same case.
Can anyone let me know, are the select statements also queued up(i.e., along with update and insert statements.)? If not please let me know how to approach for this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Folks,
Help me figure this out once and for all!
We have three geographically dispersed offices, each with their own local SQL Server. We are creating a DB application (SQL Server 2005) for our primary business (insurance) and expect to have one database with replicas on the other servers. (There is no "primary" or home server -- each of the local replicas/servers are peers.) Users in each office will update records in the local replica of the database for clients principally served out of that office. All data, however, must appear on all replicas for business intelligence purposes. In addition, there will be some (though limited) amount of record upating in one office for clients principally served out of another office. The nature of the business is such that it is unlikely users in two different offices would be working on the same record at any one time. It is not unreasonable, however, that during the course of the day, two users in different offices might edit the same record. Therefore, data inserted/updated in one server should be replicated to the other two servers within no more than an hour or so.
Given the above, how should I approach replication? The way I read the MS documentation, I should be looking at peer-to-peer merge replication. As an alternative, I might also use a peer-to-peer topology with a transactional replication. In the latter case, however, I should be looking at updating subscribers. Some here have suggested that neither approach is necessary and that I can use plain vanilla peer-to-peer replication with straight transactional updating (or I have completely misunderstood their posts). Because there is no central server, creating "non-peer" publishers on each of the local servers doesn't seem to be an option. As a final twist, so far as I have been able to figure out, MS SQL Server Studio 2005 will not allow me to create peer-to-peer replication with anything other than straight, non-updatable, updating -- With transactional plus updating subscribers the option to enable peer-to-peer is greyed out and the menu entry to configure peer-to-peer topology does not exist. With merge replication, the option does not even exist (on the GUI) and, again, the menu entry is missing.
Any thoughts, help, comments or criticisms on this subject would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

I have a replicated database on 2008 R2 being moved to a new instance with 2014. Application regression testing is complete and all tests are good.
The current transactional replication topology is Publishing subscriber: the distributor is local and pushes to a subscription on an intermediary server. This server then has an identical publication and local distributor which then pushes to a subscription on a customer's server. There's no business case for this setup, it's just how it was created at the time.
I want to change this to a Central Distributor model when we do the move to speed things up and remove any extra potential points of failure.
The customer has a requirement that during this process, their subscription database remain online, all tables are fully populated and replication pick up exactly where it was left off. This is a completely new scenario for me and I was hoping to just be able to rebuild the subscription from scratch.
Is there a way to do this move and topology change and meet the customer's requirement?

Hello,We are trying to set up replication between different versions of SQLServer (7 & 2000).This is how the 2 servers are now setup:DB1 - External web-server w/SQL Server 7DB2 - Internal server w/SQL Server 2000REPLICATION SETUPThis is how we need the replication to be set up. They are allTransactional Replications.DISTRIBUTION:This is set up on DB2, which is running on 2000WITH PUBLISHERS ON DB1, AND PULL SUBSCRIPTIONS ON DB2:dbo.Employment_App & dbo.Employ_Jobs (together in one replication)dbo.FeedbackNOTE: This set of replications work some of the time, but make DB1 &DB2 very slow when running. A lot of times, the jobs say "RetryingJob", but they usually will eventually work.WITH PUBLISHERS AND PUSH SUBSCRIPTIONS ON DB2:dbo.Jobsdbo.Releasesdbo.SearchNOTE: This set of replications used to work when DB1 & DB2 both ran onSQL Server 7 with 2000 Enterprise Manager's. But since we moved thedata to an internal server (DB2) that runs on 2000, it doesn't work atall.We've researched the problem, and found an article by MS called"Replication Between Different Versions of SQL Server" athttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...plimpl_4joy.aspthat states that this setup should be possible (on Combination 3 forTransactional Replications).But it's not working at all. Are there some steps that we need tocheck to have replication setup between 2 servers running on differentversions of SQL Server (7 & 2000)? Any & all help & advice isappreciated. Thanks.KWilliams

We have installed 2014 sql server. We have currently 2008r2. We have to run the real time report. So we need to set up transactional replication b/n those two servers. We need to use 2008r2 as publisher and 2014 as subscriber.
Is it ok to have subscriber higher version than the publisher?

Howdy Folks!
I just finished an OLEDB interface written in VS2005 C++ that works with Sql Server Compact Edition 3.1. My team now wants me to make my interface compatible with Sql Server 2000, 2005, and 2005 Express. My question is...what header/lib files do I need installed and in my stdafx.h to pull this off? Is there a particular order I need to include these files in?
Right now I'm just including the following for SSCE:
#include <ssceerr30.h>
#include <ssceoledb30.h>
Once I get the right includes figured out, the next step is figuring out what CLSID's I should use in the CoCreateInstance call. I *think* I'm supposed to use CLSID_SQLOLEDB for 2000, CLSID_SQLNCLI for 2005, and I haven't a clue for 2005 Express. I could use some clarification on this as well.
Thanks a ton in advance...I've always been impressed by the MSDN boards...

One of the big problems with the old MDAC was different versions on different client machines. You would test your app with the latest version say, but when you deployed it, it might fail as the client has a different version.
My company develops software for Municipal Government clients. These clients use other SQL Server applications as well as ours, but they can only use one version of the client software (MDAC) on a given desktop. That means if we require a particular MDAC version, but the clients other applications from other vendors don't officially support that MDAC version, the client is in a real jam.
Our software also supports Oracle, which allows our software to specify a particular Oracle Home which points to a directory with a particular version of the Oracle client dlls (along with corresponding registry entries for that Oracle Home), such that we control the exact client version of the Oracle software that the client uses with our applications. This will not interfere with, and is completely seperate, from the default Oracle home installed when you install the Oracle client software.
What I would like to see for the Native Client is the ability to have our applications use the version of the Native Client that we wish to support and deploy without interfering with the Native Client version used by other applications. Have a default Native Client, but allow applications to somehow specify a different Native Client version/set of DLLs.
Is there any such functionality with the Native Client? (I didn't see any mention of such in the documentation, but I thought I'd ask)
If not, are there any future plans to support multiple Native Client versions on the same desktop?

I currently have three SQL Server instances installed on my notebook. One is v8, which I believe is used by an accounting application. The other two are as follows:-
SQL Server MSSMLBIZ
SQL Server SQLEXPRESS
The second one (SQLEXPRESS) fails to start generating the following error:-
The SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service terminated with service-specific error 17058 (0x42A2).
Other services listed in SQL Server Configuration Manager are:-
SQL Server Integration Services - which runs apparently normally.
SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)
SQL Server Reporting Services (MSSQLSERVER)
SQL Server Browser
The last thre of these are run under LocalSystem.
I have been trying to install the SQLServer SP2 to the SQLEXPRESS instance for some number of days now, but each time it runs, it fails to install.
I am beginning to wonder if there is a sequence of installation for each of the above instances that should be followed. Can anyone give me any suggestions, or answers to the above problems?
Thanks,

I am learning SQL Server 2005 Express, and want to use the Northwind data base as used in many code examples. I wanted to attach the Northwind data base via SQL Management Studio, but cannot find a Northwind.mdf file.
When I do a search using 'Northwind', I see there are already a couple of different versions of Northwind already loaded. One appears to be associated with SQL Server Mobile Edition (Samples folder) and another seems to be associated with Visual Studio 8SDKv2.0Quickstart.
Can I use one of these existing Northwind databases (none have .mdf extention) for SQL Server 2005 or do I need to download yet another version?

I have sql server 2000 developer, sql server 2005 (workgroup, standard and enterprise), express and compact 3.5
and i need to test 2000, 2005 express and a full version of 2005 and compact all on the same machine.
Has anyone done something like this and are there any issues with this?
i have seen some threads about 2000 and 2005 being fine as long as one is a default instance and one is a named instance. Would i be able to do the same with say express being the default instance and then 2000 and 2005 both having named instances? And is there a particular order i should install? I already have 2005 express as the default instance and compact installed already.
Thank you

I'm working on a DB that will be used in separate physical locations. These DBs will be identical in structure and completely independent of each other. Whilst some tables will retain similar or identical information, there is a large amount of content that will diverge.However, there is a central location that will need to manage these DBs. There will be a requirement from this central location to run reports, often comparing data between them, and to push data into each child location. There is no requirement for the child locations to 'share' information and indeed the volume concerned and the intermittent/low-bandwidth nature of their connections would make this undesirable. If an individual selection of data does need to be shared between I'm happy for it to be uploaded centrally, a decision made, and manually pushed to each child-location.
Which brings me to my real question. Should I try and include composite Primary Keys in many of the tables (to include probably an incrementing number and another field of site ID) so that when I absorb them all back centrally I can put them into one large DB. Or should I keep them as separate DBs in the central location and use some fairly 'normal' mechanisms for mirroring to sites; accepting that this will make running comparisons between them more difficult and potentially more difficult to write interactivity for centrally?
The best 'real world' comparison I can think of is transactions in retail shops. How do these transaction logs get stored centrally when they're all generating individual transaction numbers that are only unique in that location?

I'm beginning to wonder if replication is worth the trouble I've had to spend on it!
Trying to create a simple peer-to-peer replication topology. I can create the initial publication. I can change the property to allow P2P. I can backup the database and I can create a snapshot. When, however, I try to configure the peer-to-peer topology, I get a 14027 error message telling me that ONE table out of 250, or so, "does not exist in the current database." That's pretty troubling given that I can run a select query against that specific table. I would appreciate any information that would help me to understand what's going on or successfully set up replication.
Thanks!

Hi,
Our server has SQL Server 2003 installed, I'd like to use SQL Server Express 2005 as I'm about to try and learn ASP.NET and most tutorials use that.
Will installing Express 2005 conflict with the Server 2003? Can both version be run on one server?
Thanks.

We have a large database with a small number of large tables in it (and a larger number of SMALLER tables), and it is a publisher for a transactional replication scenario. When I create a snapshot to initialize a new subscription, I notice with the larger tables that sometimes it generates multiple files in the snapshot folder, usually in multiples of 16, and numbers them like this:
MyTable_3#1.bcp
MyTable_3#2.bcp
...
MyTable_3#16.bcp
With other tables, I'll get just one LARGE snapshot file, named:
MyOtherTable_4.bcp
In the latter case, the file can be very large (most recent is 38GB).
In both cases, the subscription will eventually be initialized, but the smaller files will generate separate log entries every few minutes in the Replication Monitor, showing 'Bulk Copied data into 'MyTable' (34231221 rows)', whereas the larger table will generate only ONE log entry, showing 'Bulk coping data into table 'MyOtherTable', and it may take a couple of hours before there is anything else showing...except for an entry saying, 'The process is running and is waiting for a response from the server.'
My question is: what would be the difference between the two tables that would result in one generating MULTIPLE snapshot files, the other only a single, much larger one? The only difference I can see in the table definition is that the one generating multiple files has a clustered index, whereas the others do not.

I know this is a very basic question for all of you but I need help.
I am a CPA working with a client to select an accounting & project management software for a construction client. In the top 5 choices, there are 2 that require MS SQL Server as the DB. This client will have about 10-20 users, including project managers & accounting personnel but by DB standards transaction volumes will be low. The company has a few large projects. There is no inhouse IT staff; network administration is outsourced.
The question on the table is this? How much more difficult is it to use MS SQL server in this environment? If all of the client's requirements can be met using a run-time version of Sybase, Pervasive, or FoxPro, isn't this the simplest solution. I don't want to recommend an elephant if it is not needed. I would appreciate your opinion....Thanks

Hello,I've got installed Win 2003 SBS Premium with the SQL Server 2000 on a servermachine. It works almost fine, except the application which uses the SQLServer. The main part of the application runs (since the last update) fine,but other tools of that application (database import and the databasemanager for check and rebuild) doesn't. They hang up or kill the database.Our software developer says that these problems are in correlation with theserver os. But there won't be any problem if we install Win 2000 Server andadd an additional SQL Server 2000.Finally my question is: Are there any differences between the SQL Server2000 Versions, which are sold (a) as a single product, (b) as part of theWin 2003 SBS Premium package and (c) as part of other Server versions?Thanks in Advance,Martin

versions of SQL server (6.5, 7, 2000, 2005) as is between Microsoft
programming languages (VB.4, VB5, VB6, .Net and now .Net 2)
Or is the difference in SQL server minimal and very small compared to the programming languages I mentioned.

I am confused about the version numbers for SQL Server Compact/Mobile. It _looks_ like the versions went from CE 2.0 to Mobile 2005 to CE 3.0 (or 3.1). Is this correct? In fact, I found one location the specifically said Compact Edition is the next version of Mobile. In another location I saw Compact Edition referred to as 2005 CE.
This has got me going because I am creating a Mobile/CE app and I keep getting a "Initialize SQL Server Reconciler" and the best information I can find indicates a mismatch between the server component and the client component.
So, what are the current versions of Mobile/CE? Is there a location that lists all of the components and what version they should be?
Thanks.

hey all,
I have been testing SQL merge replication out for the last few weeks and it looks as if it will work for my company. However, I have a couple of question.
the setup:
1) we have multiple servers in the field all using the same server name with different IPs and different workgroups
2) Publisher = SQL 2005 SP2
3) Subscribers = SQLexpress SP2
4) Merge pull scriptions for all subscribers
5) Suser_Sname() used as filter
My questions:
1) Can all the subscribing servers access the same subscription at the publisher with out screwing up the generation table?
2) Is there any way to have a subscribing server point to a particular subscription at the publisher?
I've tried setting up an alies on a subscriber but the sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent will no longer accept subscription parameters.
Thanks in advances for any and all help.

In our Microsoft Dynamics Nav instance we have a Sales Header Archive table - into which copies of the Sales Header are placed, with 3 items forming the compound key:
Document Number
Version
Occurrence number
so if doc 1 is archived, then the records would be
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
When a second copy is archived a new record is added:
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
1 | 1 | 2
and then when maybe a 3rd version is archived a 3rd entry added
Doc# | Version | Occurrence #
1 | 1 | 1
1 | 1 | 2
1 | 2 | 2
This is for EACH document and I now need to retrieve the dataset which is the latest version of each document... but I'm drawing a blank!
If I
select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#]
then I get the distinct list of docs, but I now need to use this list to select the records which match this criteria, from this table.
How do I select just these?
I thought (wrongly) that I could simply say:
Select * from Invoice Table where
Invoice.[Doc#], Invoice.[V], Invoice.[Occurrence #] in
(select [Doc#], max([Version]) as [V], max([Occurrence #]) from (table) group by [Doc#])
