I want to drop a table from a publication , so that i can copy some data from another server . After the copy , i want to add the article or the table back again to the publication without making any changes to the subscribers configuration .
Is it really possible on SQL 7.0 ? Right now it does not allow me to copy the data to the published table or even drop the article (table) and it says that the article is published for replication and cannot be dropped or modified .
The table is configured for transactional replication .
I will have to drop the entire publication and create all the subcribers again .
Hi, I'm using DMO (SQLOLE65.dll) to programmatically replicate selected publications. The Publication object supports a property called Enabled, which can be set to FALSE. I'm setting the enabled property to TRUE for those publications that need be replicated, and make the others FALSE. Still, all publications get replicated. [I give DoAlter to commit the changes i made.] Any solution,Please mail me ASAP to venkateswaranb@synectics.soft.net
I'm in a middle of a project where replication established between Oracle 8i and SQL server 2005. Now we need to drop one column from on of the tables replicated from Oracle side. My question : Is there anyway I can do this in Oracle and automatically reflected on SQL server? If not what is the proper steps to do it. Realy appreciate your fast response.
Hi, everyone, I am new in SQL server 2005. I had setup SQL server 2005 P2P replication. Somehow it did not work one of two way replication. I tried to delete the publication. However I could not do it. have the same problem. When I tried to delete the publication, I got the publication " " does not exist.[SQL server error: 20026]. I tried to use sp_droppublication, it gave me error "the database is not enabled for publication". Nevertheless, I can see the publication in MS SQL Management Studio and Publication monitor with OK status. I could not find the distribution database either.
Could you anyone has ideas to delete this publication? I am sorry I am not a programmer. Please give me more detail explanation if you can. Thanks.

I have a query that I am working on that involves 2 tables. The query below is working correctly and bringing back the desired results, except I want to add 1 more column of data, and I'm not exactly sure how to write it.
What I want to add is the following data.
For each row that is brought back we want to have the COUNT(*) of users who joined the website (tbluserdetails) where their tbluserdteails.date is > the tblreferemails.referDate
Effectively we are attempting to track how well the "tell a friend" via email feature works, and converts to other joined members.
Any assistance is much appreciated!!

I probably know that I don't want to do this, but I have an odd case.
I have a database with a bunch of stored procedures and functions. 128 of them reference a different database than the one they're in. For testing puposes, I need to temporarily re-point these functions and procedures to a different database.
I suspect the answer will be a resounding 'No', but I was wondering if it was possible to somehow run a query against syscomments where I could update all of those objects with the temporary database name rather than edit each and every one of them. Conceptually, it would just be an UPDATE using REPLACE. Pretty comfortable with that, but I'm always very reluctant to mess with stuff like that.
I'll probably still just do it through QA, but I was wondering if it's possible to do something like that and thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion.
I've learned to create DTS packages, saving them in a SQL database. But how can one modify a saved DTS package? And how does one delete a saved DTS package?
I have a trigger that emails me each time an order is modified by a manager. I can't recall how to find out which user is performing the modification. Is there a global variable such as @@username?
I have some rather large TSQL scripts I'd like to schedule as jobs. Unfortunately, the SysJobSteps table in the MSDB Database is limited to 3200 characters while I need it to be 5000. Does anyone know if it's possible to increase the size of this to allow for larger TSQL scripts?
I would like to update some values in my table that have this value: XXXX-XXXX. I would like to update the '-' and change it to a '_'. Does anyone know the best way to do this?
I tried this but I get a "Subquery returned more than 1 value error"

I have a field called "assescode9" in a table called "Assessment" which has the length of "6" and I want to change this length to 7 or 8 in SQL. I tried right click on the field and modify but when I want to save it says you can not save the changes because it requires a Drop table and recreate or you do not have an option enabled to recreate the table, how do I do this?
I have never done dropping a table and recreate it?
I am new to sql server 2000, and need a little help.

I am trying to add a new field to a table using enterprise manager by right clicking on the table, choosing design table and adding the new field/column. But when I choose save changes, I receive an error message:
------------------------------------------------------------ Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of the database objects were not saved. 'Comments' Table -Unable to modify table ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL SERVER] ... ... Cannot drop the table 'dbo.Comments' because it is being used for replication -----------------------------------------------------------
If it helps I am trying to add a binary (bit) field and a text field of 50 characters. I think the replication it refers to is a merge replication (not sure though is there a way i can find out in EM?)
I have read some articles which refer to this problem and suggest using stored procedures but I really dont know how to do that, having never used them before. I need an idiots guide please!
Let me know if I need to provide more info. Thanks.
I have an asp page that currently is creating a database and a userlogin for that database. After everything successfully (I thought)executed, I tried to change my connection properties for the serverand then login as this new user. It wouldn't allow me to, so I loggedback in as the administrator and looked at the properties for the newlogin. On the general tab, it had the user's default databasespecified as the new database that I had created in the asp page, butwhen I went to the database access tab, the database was not selected.So, I'm not sure how to set that in my script. I've done somesearching in BOL, but I can't figure it out. Also, if there's a wayto do this in a query, or stored procedure, will it also specify whattype of role the user has (public, db_owner, etc.)? Thanks.
I'm building a custom SSIS data flow component and I create myself input and output columns from a custom property of my pipeline component. That's why I don't want the user to modify the name of the input and output columns by using the advanced editor.
Is there a way either to make input/output column properties - at least the name - readonly or to override any PipelineComponent method to throw an exception like we do when we want to prevent the user from adding/removing input/output colulmns with methods like PipelineComponent.DeleteOutputColumn?
I am working with an .xml file that I want to break up into various tables. A couple of fields in my xml file include html tags (<p> tags specifically). The generated xsd file thinks these are nested xml tags and creates a "P" table for the information contained. Is there a way I can modify the generated xsd within the designer? Or is the only way to fix this is to manually modify the xsd?
There is also an <id> tag within the xml. However, SSIS is not using that <id> as the primary key as it adds data to the various tables that I've specified. Instead it appears to be creating its own primary key - calling it "Id". Is there some way to specify that SSIS use the <id> tag contained within the xml instead of creating its own primary key?
Hi, I have recently started using SQL Server with a 3rd party application and have come across a problem and i have no idea how to fix it...
The database has a column of numbers that go up either by 10 or 100 depending on the letter in another column. eg:
100 M 110 P 120 P 200 M 300 M 400 M 500 M 510 P 520 P
The 3rd party application has just been updated and now can add new rows to this table. The only problem is that the added row needs a new number, and the rows below need to be recalculated.
Is there anyway this can be done? Any help or suggestions would be great!
I have a project where I need the ability to update data in a SQL table (SQL 2008) from a tool like Access or Excel. My SQL table has 3 records: Employee number, Employee Name, and a yes / no value (1 or 0). I want to be able to display the table data (in Access or Excel), and be able to have the user modify the yes / no value, but not the Employee number or Employee name. How to handle this in SQL. Should I connect Access directly to the SQL table?
I am going thru the Integration Services Tutorial found in Books Online and I'm on Lesson 3. It has to do with creating a configuration file for the source file location. I followed the steps and now I need to open the .dtsConfig file and type in the folder location.
The exact direction says,
"
In Notepad or any other text editor, locate and open the SSISTutorial.dtsConfig configuration file that you created by using the Package Configuration Wizard in the previous task.
Change the value of the ConfiguredValue element to match the path of the New Sample Data folder that you created in the previous task. Do not surround the path in quotes.
Save the change, and then close the text editor. "
When I open the file, I see this. What am I supposed to do here?
With a DTS scheduled job if I needed to make a modification, I just changed the DTS and saved it, and the job would automatically Run the latest DTS (so long as the name was the same)
When I migrate a package to SSMS and schedule it , if I need to modify the package, do I need to modify it through BIDS (visual studio), then re-import it to SSMS and then reschedule it ?
