What problems do trigger driven replication impose? I've got two SQL servers. When one is updated, triggers will automatically update the information on the production server. What problems can arise from this? Does it create problems when mass updates and inserts are being performed on tables with triggers? Thanks
View 3 RepliesHello to a new forum. I am very impressed with the level of ability I have been seeing on this forum and all the helpful posts that are going on.
I am hoping someone can help me solve my problem. I know enough SQL to be very dangerous how to create, delete, insert, update etc... and how to build queries. Here is my dilemma I need to have a piece of scheduling software send out reminder emails based on a DATETIME field. I am running SQL Server 2005, and the database mail is already configured and can successfully send out email from the management studio interface.
Does anyone know of a tutorial or can point me in the right direction to accomplish this task. I am well versed in PHP, and am hoping I might be able to get the server to trigger a PHP script or something to this extent.
We still have old SQL 6.5 with sp5a running and push replicate to 5 remote sites.
Is there a way to avoid a trigger to avoid to be replicated as in SQL2000 with "NOT FOR REPLICATION"?
Since there is no way to do a constraint check to accross table, is there any way to do a cross table check without using a trigger?
thanks

Hi Guys,
I have a database replicated to another database in a remote server.
We have a trigger in one of the tables in remote Database(replicated), which will fire as soon as there is an insert into this table. This trigger is maintaining the business logic. This trigger will insert the records into another table depending on what kind of information obtained from the new row(which was replicated).
Problem is, since we are using replication ( it uses bcp internaly), the trigger is not firing. I some how wanted to add these new records to the other table (automated). Can you guys please advice me on how to implement this.
I appreciate your help
Thanks,
Jeyam
I have setup transactional replication between 2 computers.
In the publisher, there is a INSTEAD OF DELETE trigger to prevent deletion of any rows in a table. If an attempt to delete rows in that table occurs, this trigger will write the deleting rows to a local file C:
empyyyy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss.tbl_deleted.csv, and then email this file to a list of recipients. This trigger only exists in the publisher.
Yesterday, while I'm working on the publisher DB, I accidentally executed a stored procedure which attempted to delete some rows in the table. The trigger fired, a file C:2012.09.04.09.01.01.tbl_deleted.csv generated, and the email was sent. But then problem occurs.
Problem: When I open replication monitor, I see a bunch of errors in "Distributor To Subscriber History". The error said:
Command attempted:
if @@trancount > 0 rollback tran
Error messages:
Attachment file C: emp2012.09.05.01.01.43.36.tbl_deleted.csv is invalid.
(Source: MSSQLServer. Error number: 22051)
Similar errors occur periodically, and the filename (C: empyyyy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss.tbl_deleted.csv) in the error messages reflect the actual time of the error.
Hi,I have an issue with my replication at the moment. I will try todescribe the scenario accurately.I am using MS SQL 2000 SP4 with Merge Replication. Subscribers connectto the publisher to upload/download changes. I have a trigger set up onone table which updates another, here is an example of the trigger:"CREATE TRIGGER qt_t_projTotal ON dbo.qt_quotesFOR INSERT, UPDATE, DELETEASdeclare @projTotal as moneydeclare @projId as intdeclare @projcurrtype as intselect @projId = project_id from insertedselect @projcurrtype = proj_curr_type from qt_projects where project_id= @projId--Get project total from the sum of table [qt_quotes]select @projTotal = (selectsum(dbo.fConvertCurrency(quot_grnd_totl,quot_curr_ type,@projcurrtype))as quoteTotal from qt_quotes where project_id = @projId)--Update projects record with new project totalupdate qt_projectsset proj_act_totl = @projTotalwhere project_id = @projId"I feel my trigger maybe setup incorrectly in that replication thinks aninsert is occurring instead of an update. (Im quite new to triggers)What is happening is a conflict is occuring with the following message:"The row was inserted at Server.Publisher' but could not be inserted at'Subscriber.database'. INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGNKEY constraint 'FK_qt_quotes_qt_projects'. The conflict occurred indatabase 'Publisher', table 'qt_projects', column 'project_id'."What is also happening as a result of this conflict (I think) is therecord in question is getting deleted from the Publisher. This iscausing huge problems as it is proving quite difficult to get theserecords back in the system due to identity values.Can anyone guide me to what might be happeing here, is it the trigger?
View 8 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know how to do the following. I'm trying to mimicreplication with triggers.I have 2 databases, each have these 2 tables.1.USERSID intNAME varchar(20)2.CHANGESTABLE varchar(20)TYPE varchar(10)col1 varchar(20)col2 varchar(20)On the USERS table I have a for insert trigger. Whenever a new user isadded the trigger puts an entry into the CHANGES table such as("USERS", "INSERT", "1", "Fred")I now have an application (vb.net) that monitors the CHANGES table onserver1. If it finds an entry it determines the table using the TABLEcolumn and performs the necessary insert and deletes the entry fromCHANGES. Now the problem is server2 also has an for insert trigger onthe USERS table so it puts an entry into CHANGES on server2. As youcan imagine this goes around in a loop.What I was hoping for was someway of saying, "I'm inserting from myapplication so don't do the trigger".Any ideas gratefully appreciated.Steve.

I am testing a merge publication with a push subscription. The publication contains a single table. That table has an INSTEAD OF UPDATE trigger marked NOT FOR REPLICATION and an AFTER trigger that needs to go off during replication.
During Synchronization neither trigger goes off. If I drop the instead of trigger the after trigger will go off. What is going on?
Thanks,
Our company is wanting to replicate a bunch of data down from our central server to tablet PC's. We really do not have anyone on staff with solid experience in replication, and have hit an error that we cannot seem to find any information whatsoever on.
Here is the problem:
When setting up a publication to replicate certain tables, we stop being able to do any updates on the tables. After some research, we were able to narrow the problem into the msrepl triggers the publication places on the table. In the update trigger of the table, the following line is being placed by SQL Server:
execute sp_mapdown_bitmap 0x0000000040, @bm output
The sp_mapdown_bitmap call, passes through to a xp_mapdown_bitmap call (limited documentation I have found is it is suppose to be an extended stored procedure), which if I try to manually execute, does not exist on the server (Logged in as SA the entire time).
Commenting out that line in the replication stored procedures corrects the problem. However obviously we do not want to manually do that everytime we create a publication, and we have no idea what negative impacts may occur because of it.
We are getting this behavior on several SQL Server 2005's...
Additional notes on the environment:
-CLR Triggers written in VB, on most tables performing application functions
-SQL Server 2005 SP1 is on the servers, and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is on the tablets.
-Again this problem only exists on some tables in the database.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
We are Using Transactional Replication with Updatable Subscription in SQL Server 2005 SP1.
Subscription Type : Pull Subscription
Mode : Continuous Running Mode
Conflict Resolution Policy : Publisher Wins.
I have a table "Sample" (which is part of replication) and it has got 3 triggers. All the triggers are set NOT FOR REPLICATION.
The first trigger Updates a column of the "Sample" table in which i inserted a record.
The second trigger inserts record in to another database table and also updates a column of the table "Sample".
The third trigger does not affect any tables, it is written for some manipulations with variables.
In this scenario when I insert a record in the Sample table of the subscription database, that record is visible in the table. But during replication, it shows conflict in the Conflict Viewer and removes the record from the Sample table of the subscription database. The record is not replicated to the publisher and the other Subscriber also.
But when I comment any one update in either the first or second trigger, the insert works fine without any conflict.
Is there any issue with firing two triggers in replication which is updating the same table? I also suspect the Order of Commands moving to the Publisher from the MSReplication_Queue table, becoz the conflict viewer shows the subscriber as the Conflict loser.
Is there any issue with msrepl_tran_version, Since the conflict is decided based on this id??
It would be helpful if u could reply soon.
Thanks and Regards,

Hello;
I need to create a data driven query task where the destination is a view. The option to select a view is only available for the source.
I have created a view because the first attempts to create a data driven query againt the required table (db is over 4000 tables, 4 GB of data)resulted in workstation lockups.
Thank you.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHas anyone explored a process whereby the Transaction Log would be backup up based upon a defined threshold, ie. 75% full? All the research against news group posts and SQL2000 literature seems to point to scheduling a log backup job on a periodic basis.

Is it possible to copy an existing Data Driven Subscriptions and make some minor changes?

I am using Reporting Services 2005 locally for testing purposes and also on a production server. Locally, I can create data-driven subscriptions, but not on the server. The only difference I can think of between my local test environment and the production server is the versions of SQL server database. Locally, I am using SQL server 2005 but on the server I am using SQL server 2000 (but with Reporting Services 2005). Can the version difference be the reason for not being able to use data-driven subscriptions?
Note: I have followed various guidelines and walkthroughs that describe how a data-driven subscription is created, i.e. stored credentials on the report server and such should not be the problem.
Operating systems: locally; Windows XP. Server; Windows Server 2003.
Thanks!

Hi
I created a new data-driven subscription which successfully created a guid job on the server under jobs. So, I run the job and I get no report emailed to me. On the report manager all it says is I have 1 error. I cant figure out what the error is and where do I go to see what the error is? I know it is in some log file under MSSQL, but I dont know which log file and what I should be looking for in that log file. Any help is appreciated.
I guess, in summary, how do I debug a data-driven subscription?
I'm very new at this and found this video very helpful. I downloaded Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition and following the direction except for changing a few column names.

I copied all the data to my website and tried to view it there but got some error that I don't understand. Can someone please help. The website I uploaded the files to is ocbeachrentals.net/default.aspx. Thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering what everyones preferred way to install a database in an automated fashion is.. IE:
You have a webapp. It sdriven by SQL Server. You need to prompt the user for a server, username, password, and database. Once you have those, you execute thge scripts against the DB.
I've been using osql.exe. but heres the situation. The installer may be run from a system, which does not have the sql server client tools installed. Which will be a problem.
So, given the situation that the machine the application is being installed on, does not have the client tools installed. How would YOU execute the provided SQL script against a remote server.
I'm trying to perform a simple DTS tassk and am having no luck. All I'm trying to do is to run a task that will delete rows from an Access table. I presume I have to create a Data Driven Query in order to do this, but I can't seem to get the formula just right.
Can someone shed some light on the subject, please? BOL says little to nothing about how to set up a simple task. Microsoft.com is also pretty lsackluster with regards on what to do.
Again, thanks for any help.

I would like to use a Data Driven Query Task to conditionally update/insert some data from a source table into a dest. table, but I can't find any decent doc or examples on this. Is there any place that explains in gory detail how to use these DTS tasks?

I'm trying to create a simple attendance website where a user logs in and a time and user name (with unique ID) is stored into a table, and then the user is able to click "Check Attendance" and the site will display only the times they logged in (which wasn't too bad). I want a button we can click to "clean up the database" and delete duplicate dates.
If I have a user sign in 10 times in one day - I don't need all 10 times logged into the database, only one. So how do I create a query (needs to be a query so I can tack it onto a button in PHP) that will delete 'where date = the same as a previous date'?
I appreciate the help - and I'm sure I will use this forum for help in the future as it seems very robust with information.
I use a data driven query task to perform row updates along with appending row data to a text file. In the source I use 'select top 1000 field1, ..., fieldn from table'. The package hangs when executing the data driven task. If I reduce the return count to 'select top 100...' the package execute with no problems. I can do that 10 times, with no problems. But anything more then 100 will hang the package at that task. Please help!
Thanks,

I'm working with a DB design that seems to me to be rather complex.This is a very slimmed down version of what I'm doing, but I believe itis enough to get my question resolved.Here is my layout.These 4 tables are used to generate a questionaire.Survey OrderID========= ==========SurveyID OrderIDOrderID QuestionGrpIDQGrp Questions============= =============QuestionGrpID QuestionIDQuestionID QuestionTextThe following two tables are used to calculate a report that is sent tothe customer.RawData=========================OrderIDQuestionIDValue is string but is Cast as decimal for numeric formulasMetrics==============================================QuestionGroupID | ReportText | Formula | MetID==============================================2 | % Support Staff of Total | OP21/(OP21+OP22+OP23) | 1The OP references are questionIDsNow to calculate the result for the report we programatically parse theformula creating a temp table (table name = Temp & orderID & _ &QuestionID) with OrderID and OPxx as the field names. We create onetable for each question.We then use dynamic SQL again to calculate the result using the aboveformulaSELECT OP21/(OP21+OP22+OP23) FROM Temp5_21, Temp5_22, Temp5_23 WHERETemp5_21.OrderID = Temp5_22.orderID AND Temp5_22.OrderID =Temp5_23.OrderIDThis select is used to create a single table of calculated values.This table is in turn used to tell the customer how they compare toother customers. Percentile, Mean, Median, Std Dev, and a few others. Idon't claim this part of the project, but I'm not sure how I might havedone it, had it been assigned to me.MY PROBLEM!!!Sometimes a 0 is valid data and is the denominator of a devisioncalculation. Since this is so dynamic and it might be difficult todetermine when division is used. I need a way to default divide by 0execptions to NULL. This DB is on a hosted server.Thanks for bearing with me,Greg Kelley
