ALTER TABLE SWITCH PARTITION On A Replicated Table

Apr 10, 2007

A customer wants to implement table partitioning on a replicated table.



They want to hold 13 months of data in the table and roll off the earliest/oldest month to an identical archive table. The table has a date field and partitioning by month makes sense all around.



So SWITCH PARTITION is the obvious solution to this, except for the fact that the table is replicated (transactional w/no subscriber updates).



What are his architectural or practical solutions to using table partitioning and replication?











thx

Transactional Repln,how To Modify The Width Of A Column Of A Table Which Is Replicated

Aug 3, 2006

Hi All,
Is there a way by which we can modify the width of a column of a table which is being replicated without touching the ongoing transactional replication? This is for MSSQL2000 Transactional Replication.

I know (and successfully tried) that we can add a column to a table and that gets propaged to the replicate database and indeed the added column gets reflected there. How to add a column? sp_repaddcolumn or Right Click on the Publication-Properties and it shows a button to Add a Column.

This is what I have tried for modifying the width of a column of a table participating in Transactional Replication from varchar(10) to varchar(100)

MH (source) -> MH1 (Replicate)

The column €œcol1€? had width of varchar(10) and this was altered to varchar(100).


insert into MH..test_mh values(4,'abcdeabcdefff')

select * from MH1..test_mh

exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2', @destination_db = N'MH1'
go

exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh'
go

alter table test_mh alter column col2 varchar(100) null OR

MH1..sp_help test_mh

exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @source_table = N'test_mh'
go

exec sp_addsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2' , @destination_db = N'MH1'
go


Needless to say, help would be apreciated -

ALTER / MODIFY / OverWrite Table?

Apr 10, 2008

Hi all I was wondering how to do an ALTER command on a Table but without specifying Column Names but rather attempting to overwrite the Table itself with the new fields specified? For instance if I have Table_1 consisting of the following fields:

IDFirstNameSurname

Then use the following ALTER command:




Code Snippet
ALTER Table Table_1
(
ID Int,
FirstName VarChar(50)
)
This would then drop Surname from the Table and leave only ID and FirstName inside it. Is this possible? I have been searching google but can't seem to find what I am looking for.

Thank for comments + suggestions. Regards, Onam.

TSQL - Using ALTER TABLE - ALTER COLUMN To Modify Column Type / Set Identity Column

What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?

I am trying to solve the question in the link below:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1

MODIFY
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),

How To Alter Column Length Of The Master Table Along With The Slave Table?

Aug 13, 2006

In SQL Server 2005,here are two tables, created by the following SQL Statements:

CREATE TABLE student(
ID CHAR(6) PRIMARY KEY,
NAME VARCHAR(10),
AGE INT
);

CREATE TABLE score(
ID CHAR(6) PRIMARY KEY,
SCORE INT,
FOREIGN KEY(ID) REFERENCES student(ID)
);

For the length of Column ID is not enough, So I want to alter its length.The alter statement is:

ALTER TABLE student ALTER COLUMN ID CHAR(20)

For the table student is referenced by table score, the alter statement can not alter the column of the table student, and the SQL Server DBMS give the errors.

But, I can manually alter the length of the column ID in SQL SERVER Management Studio. How to alter column length of the master table(student) along with the slave table(score)?

Thanks!

Computed Column In A Replicated Table

Apr 10, 2015

I have a strange problem. I have a computed column in a replicated table, the Formula is as follows:

(isnull(hashbytes('SHA2_256',CONVERT([varchar](256),[AccrualReference],(0))),(0))) the column is also Persisted.

This gets around a case sensitivity issue and is used as the Primary Key column, which works well.The problem is that this table is then replicated to another server. On the subscriber the value of this computed field is being returned as 0x00000000 for every row, so this must be the ISNULL function doing its job. But why? The AccrualReference is the true PrimaryKey and is never NULL.

If I remove the computed specification and set the field up as varbinary(64) the value then gets replicated. This then means maintaining a different table schema for in excess of 500 tables.
