Full Text Max Size?
Jan 13, 2005Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Full Text catalogs on large tables? We have a full text catalog on a table with about 30 million rows. Acording to BOL, once you get over 1 million you'll need to make some adjustements. Our system works, but we randomly get the following errors with ad hoc queries. The server has 8GB of RAM and 4 3GHz processors. Does anyone have experience working with a table this big? Any suggetions as to what could cause these errors? The only thing I could find was BUG#: 469483 on MS's site, but we're not using any OR clauses
Thanks
Here's the errors....

Full Text Key Size
Oct 11, 2007The Upgrade Advisor noted that SQL Server 2005 changed the way full text catalogs are utilized. It says that you must ensure tha tthe file group associated with the base table has enough space to accomodate the additional space requirements for full-text indexes. It says to use the formula (2*FTK + 34 bytes) * RC where FTK=full text key size and RC=rowcount of the table. I know which table but if I do sp_help on the table, it doesn't tell me anything about the size of the full text key. I've tried searching TechNet and I'm either not finding the answer or I don't know enough to know if it's there. Can anybody help me?

Sql Function Not Working For TEXT Size More Than 8000
Feb 24, 2005Hi,
I wrote this sql function which takes a comma seperated string of numbers, splits the numbers seperately and stores it in a table. I have specified the input parameter type as text instead of varchar, the size of the string can get more than 8000.
But the function is not working properly if the input size is more than 8000. For example if the input string is of length 8005 and this is the input string from 7995 to 8005 - '123,124,125'. It works fine till 123 and after that it throws an error, Syntax error converting the varchar value '124,125' to a column of data type int. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this. I am using string functions like charindex, substring. I can post the full function if you want.
Thanks.

Help! Limitations On Varchar Size And Not Being Able To Use TEXT In Stored Procedure
Nov 4, 1999I am stuck! and need help!
I have a problem I can't seem to find the solution with this aweful limitations on VARCHAR fields of 255.
Within a stored procedure called Store_Check, I need to dynamically build a string (@string) using VARCHAR(255) since the text datatype can't be used in a stored procedure.
So,this string is built according to whether the Store ID is NOT NULL. So if the StoreID is not null, I start building this string 'Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID1, @address2'. There are 20 StoreID's passed into Store_Check. IF all 20 StoreID's are not NULL, the executed String greatly exceeds 255 because the string winds up looking like this
'Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID1, @address1 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID2, @address2 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID3, @address3 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID4, @address4 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID5, @address5 Exec Update_Store_Address @StoreID6, @address6 etc. etc.'
I am not executing this string within the StoredCheck procedure. It needs to be passed as ONE string to a VB program and it gets executed by the VB program. Even if I create 4 local variables and concatenate them, it stops at the 255th character.
Also, a local varialbe of type TEXT cannot be declared within stored procedure.
What can I do? I am stuck!

SQL 2012 :: Varchar - Changing Text Column Size
Aug 7, 2015Impact on performance of changing Text column size.
However, many of them were regarding older releases of SQL Server.
Does the architecture in 2012, 2014 releases make this less of an issue ?
In other words, why bother going from Varchar(1000) to Varchar(50) ?
I'm just thinking maybe there is column compression automatically now.
Reducing Database Size After Dropping Text Column
Jul 20, 2005Hello,A while back I dropped a text column from a SQL Server 7 databaseroughly 3GB in size. I expected the size of the database to decreaseby around 1GB, but no change occurred. After searching usenet, Idiscovered that SQL Server 7 has no way of reclaiming that space, butthat there is some command that can be run in SQL Server 2000 thatwill reclaim it.I have since migrated this database to SQL Server 2000, and am nowtrying to figure out what that command is, but cannot locate anyusenet posts about it... also tried searching books online, but can'tfind anything that way either.Does anyone know what I should run?Thanks,Tom

Sep 26, 2015I received a pipe-delimited file that I need to import. (It has the equivalent of 650+ fields on a single row). While I had no issue importing it (SSIS 2008) I noticed that the input connector, Advanced option, shows an "OutputColumnWidth" of only 50 for all fields.
I say only 50 because some of the pipe-delimited fields can supposedly have a max of 250 characters so I'm concerned about potential data truncation. Unless someone has another thought I plan to manually set those OutputColumnWidth fields to 250.

Error 627: Transactional Repl. SQL 7.0
Nov 11, 1999The problem case for transactional replication in MS SQL 7.0 is as follows:
Server A (intended publisher)
Server B (distributor, intended subscriber)
When configuring replication, the distributor (B) can be configured easily; the publisher (A) that uses B as its distributor will not allow for a publication to be created using either the Enterprise Manager wizards or TSQL commands. The error '627: Cannot use SAVE TRANSACTION within a distributed transaction' occurs when creating the publication.
Any suggestions; I need some help ASAP.

Merge Repl. Error OS 3
Jul 12, 2007I am trying to set up a merge replication between SQL 2005 and SQL Express. When I try to apply the snapshot to the SQL Express database. I get the error "Can not access filepathSnapshot.pre due to error OS 3"
Does anyone know what OS error 3 applies to?
Also, when I try to place the snapshop in the default folder location say D:ReplicationData the create snapshot process will work. If I try to place the snapshot folder not in the default and in a UNC like this \serverIPReplicationData I get an access error. sqlAgent has access to the share, which is fully shared out. Any ideas?
Add Article To Merge Repl. Publication
Apr 22, 2004I am running merge replication (SQL 2000 with SP2) with an anonymous pull subscription. The application vendor has come out with update that requires adding a table to a database. The vendor has created scripts that will add the table, as well as some stored procedures. If I apply the scripts to both servers and add the table as a new article to the publication, am I going to have to apply a snapshot of the entire database (which is very large)?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Merge Repl. Between 2000 & 2005
Sep 15, 2006I'm in trouble again. I want to make merge replication between SS 2000 Enterprise and SS 2005 Express edition. 2000 will be publisher, 2005 will be subscriber. In addition I want to use push subsription at 2000 side, very last thing is it will be download only (I know how to make a merge rep. downloadonly, thanks god!). That's all I want to do.
I made a little search, it seems what I want can't be done automatically, using SMO or scripts is suggested. In one of other forums I saw "distibuter>=publisher>=subsriber" (refering sql server versions). Is it an incontestable truth that I cannot make SS 2000 a publisher where SS 2005 Express is subscriber?
How can I achieve my goal, isn't there anyway to make 2000 publisher for merge replication while a 2005 Express is subscriber?
Thanks

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow To Solve This Sudden Repl Problem?
Nov 23, 2006Hi,
We're running a replicationprocess for months now, and 2 days ago it broke down, for no appearant reason I can detect. The setup is this:
A SQL2K server has a publication defined on a database, consisting of several dozen tables. It is a transactional publication, running continuously. There is 1 subscriber, a SQL2005. Both servers run with Win2003 and all have the latest servicepacks.
Up until 2 days ago there was hardly a problem. Then I received errormessages on being unable to load into a specific table. That table had been changed on that day, namely, 1 column was changed from CHAR(13) to CHAR(12). I do not know if this has any relation with the problem we experience.
Currently the databases are structural the same. I could not get the replicationprocess to work and deleted all, publication on server1 and subscription on server2. I tried to setup a new transactional publication, which is not a problem, however, I cannot create a succesful subscription. I receive the message:
The process could not bulkcopy into table 'Tablename', where tablename is the changed table...
Again, both tables in publisher and subscruiber are the same in all respects. When I remove the offending table from the publication, the same message now with another tablename... Removing this table will result in again this message with another tablename...
I am really flabbergasted. Any idea where to look at?
TIA
Repl.Pending Xacts Question
Aug 2, 2006We have VLDBs running on a SQL 2005 server. Some users have questioned speed and response times. When I investigated the server (W2K3) using the perfomrance monitor, I noticed an interesting questionabel result. The Repl. Pending Xacts showed 44,000,000 transactions waiting to be delived to the distribution databse. Problem is - we do not have replication tunred on on any of the db's on the box. In my research, I have not noticed anyone with a similiar issue. Does this amount of transaction take up space, or is it simply a counter that I don't have to be worried about?

Merge Repl/new Bcp Files After 2005 Upgrade
May 27, 2008I'll start off by saying these questions were submitted to Microsoft and no
one can give us an answer without them doing a source code review. Their
response was "these are internal BCP scripts that are used by SQL"....yes, I
know that....that doesn't help to explain why the system created them. At
this point, I don't want my compary to pay support hours for Microsoft
personnel to learn what their software does.
--------------------
We've had merge publication in place for several years.
Last year, we added some tables/articles to publications.
After the upgrade from SQL Server 2000 SP4 Standard to SQL Server 2005 SP2
Standard, when the snapshot was run, the system created some new files that
had never existed before. Also, and more importantly, these files were only
created for the articles added after the initial snapshot was created.
Articles existing in the intial snapshot did not have these type of files
created.
Examples of these files for a SA_MOVE table that was added to an existing
publication:
MSmerge_contents_SA_MOVE.bcp
MSmerge_contents_SA_MOVE_forall.bcp
MSmerge_rowtrack_SA_MOVE90.bcp
sysmergesubsetfilters_SA_MOVE.bcp
sysmergesubsetfilters_SA_MOVE90.bcp
Also some new bcps created were:
MSmerge_contents90_forall.bcp
MSmerge_genhistory90.bcp
MSmerge_rowtrack90.bcp
sysmergesubsetfilters90.bcp
The system wanted to apply these files before it would start synchronizing
data so they had to be delivered to the subscriber. It appears it was the
sysmergesubsetfilters_ files that it wanted to apply. These are all 0 in
size and we do not have filter on(at least not as far as I know...see the
addmergearticle code below).
New databases created this year that had all of the articles defined in the
publication before the initial snapshot was taken did not get these
additional files created, nor did the system want to try to send files to the
subscriber before syncrhonization could begin.
This is an example of how an article had been cretead under SQL Server 2000
when adding a new database, before an initial snapshot is run:
exec sp_addmergearticle @publication = N'Last', @article = N'SA_MOVE',
@source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'SA_MOVE', @type = N'table',
@description = null, @column_tracking = N'true', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop',
@creation_script = null, @schema_option = 0x000000003000EFF1,
@article_resolver = null, @subset_filterclause = null, @vertical_partition =
N'false', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @verify_resolver_signature = 0,
@allow_interactive_resolver = N'false', @fast_multicol_updateproc = N'true',
@check_permissions = 0
This is an example of how an article was added under SQL Server 2000 to an
existing publication that already had the initial snapshot run:
exec sp_addmergearticle @publication = N'Last', @article = N'SA_MOVE',
@source_owner = N'dbo', @source_object = N'SA_MOVE', @type = N'table',
@description = null, @column_tracking = N'true', @pre_creation_cmd = N'drop',
@creation_script = null, @schema_option = 0x000000000000EFF1,
@article_resolver = null, @subset_filterclause = null, @vertical_partition =
N'false', @destination_owner = N'dbo', @auto_identity_range = N'false',
@verify_resolver_signature = 0, @allow_interactive_resolver = N'false',
@fast_multicol_updateproc = N'true', @check_permissions = 0,
@force_invalidate_snapshot = 1
A few questions:
Does anyone have an idea why the system created these files are part of the
2005 upgrade?
What is the real purpose of the files with names such as _forall.bcp ?
Thanks for any help/info on this,
Doug
Rebuilding The System Merge Repl Indexes
Jan 17, 2007Hi,
We have a client that has a large (5Gb) database replicated to 13 subscribers, the publisher is Sql 2005, the subscribers are Sql Express. The publication has as few filtered articles too. I have found that after several months of continuous running Replication Monitor is taking a long time to report history on each subscriber.
Do people tend to rebuild the indexes on the system merge replication tables on production servers, or should the standard replication jobs take care of this?
Thanks for your help

SQL 2005 Server (SP2) To SQL 2005 Express (SP2) Replication Looping/Excessive Repl Times
Sep 25, 2007We have a large number of clients attempting to replicate two publications on 2005 Express databases (2 publications subscribed to the one subscriber database) with our 2005 Server (9.00.3042.00 SP2 Standard Edition) and experiencing two significant problems:
1) Users experience the following message:
The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Subscriber for changes not yet sent to the Publisher. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload).
This problem should not apparently occur with SQL Server 2005 (or 2005 Express) instances with SP2 applied. All clients experiencing this problem have SP2 installed as does our Server and the retention period is 30 days. The subscribers have been replicating well under that.
2) Replications never succeed after appearing to replicate/loop around for hours
This issue is the most critical as we have clients who have been installed and re-installed with new instances of SQL Server 2005 Express, new empty databases (on subscriber before snapshot extraction), and using fresh snapshots (less than an few hours old) which cannot successfully replicate.
Interestingly there is at least 1 instance where several computers are subscribed and successfully replicating the same database as another where replication refuses to succeed.
To test we have taken a republished database from another 2005 Server which is working fine and restored it to the same server as the one holding the database with which we are experiencing problems and subscribed to it. This test worked fine and replication of both publications went through fast and repeatedly without showing any signs of problem.
This indicates that the problem is perhaps data related as it appears localised to that database.
Below are two screenshots which may assist.
Screenshot 1 Shows that on the server side the replication attempts look like they are succeeding despite the fact that the subscriber end does not indicate success. Also the history indicates the the subscription has spent all it's time initialising and not merging any changes.
Screenshot 2 Shows a rogue process which has appears on many of the problem child subscribers. It shows a process running with no end time even though the job indicates failure in the message and even though other replication attempts appear to have succeeded after it. This process stays in the history showing that it is running even when I can find no corresponding process for it.
Can anyone suggest a further course of action/further testing/further information required which may assist?
This is extremely urgent and any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
