Hi
Having a problem with a ms sql 2000 server. The script below was
created i SQL manager 2005 lite and gives a syntax error near '('
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Community_ActivityLog]
ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Community_Errors]
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([activity_ID])
WITH (
PAD_INDEX = OFF,
IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF,
STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF,
ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON,
ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON)
ON [PRIMARY]
GO
Any ideas of what might be wrong?

Folks!
What is wrong with my syntax with the following command?:
alter table EmployeeInfo alter column OriginDate smalldatetime not null default getdate()
I'm getting:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'default'
Currently, in my table OriginDate is nullable with no default.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,
the following alter table statement:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[CalCalendar]
ALTER COLUMN [OID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
is answered with:
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'PRIMARY'.
which I consider to be interesting. Anyone has an idea why? I checked documentation but I do not see an error.
Note that:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[CalCalendar]
ALTER COLUMN [OID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL
DOES get executed, and
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[CalCalendar]
ALTER COLUMN [OID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
produces the same error.
Now, in my understanding this has nothing to do with an index may already exist etc. - the eror indicates a SYNTAX error, before any checking. Makes no sense to me, though, reading the documentation.
So - anyone an idea?
I keep getting a syntax error when I try to execute the following statement from Query Analyzer:
Alter Table Table1
Alter Column Field1 Int
I am getting the following error:
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Line 2: Incorrect syntax near 'column'.
I am converting Field1 from a varchar to int, is this not allowed?
TIA,
Chris
I finally found a way to "deploy" my local SqlServerExpress (SSE) database to the remote Sql2K server... In VisualWebDeveloper (VWD) I can create the table definition and then save the creation sql script and use that in SSE Express Manager while connected to my remote DB. I am describing this because I'm so surprised no one has had problems with this as thousands of developers, some very unexperienced (as me maybe!), are trying the same situation now that some are offering 2.0 hosting... Well I thought this was a great idea until the Sql2K server is returning error messages on the script VWD created. So please could you help since I'm not that good at complex sql scripting. It seems the error comes from the ALTER TABLE syntax:BEGIN TRANSACTIONSET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONSET ARITHABORT ONSET NUMERIC_ROUNDABORT OFFSET CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL ONSET ANSI_NULLS ONSET ANSI_PADDING ONSET ANSI_WARNINGS ONCOMMITBEGIN TRANSACTIONCREATE TABLE dbo.Table2 ( prID int NOT NULL IDENTITY (1, 1), DateInserted datetime NOT NULL, Title nvarchar(100) NOT NULL, Description nvarchar(MAX) NULL, CategoryID smallint NOT NULL, DateLastUpdated datetime NULL, Price int NOT NULL, SpecialPrice int NULL, ImgSuffix nvarchar(5) NULL, ImgCustomWidth smallint NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] TEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]GOALTER TABLE dbo.Table2 ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Table2 PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( prID ) WITH( STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

Just started learning SQL recently.But one thing i'm still not clear on is about altering relationships betweentables after they've been created.Instead of creating a foreign key when the table is first created - i createthe table and then run a query to set the foreign key and relationship(one-to-one, one-to-many etc)Anyways, long story short is i want to create a one-to-one relationship witha table but am having problems with adding more than one constraint at atime when altering a table.Understand yet? Easiest thing to do is show you:I have 2 tables: Branch_Table and Employee_TableI want to create a one-to-one relationship between emp_id on theBranch_Table and manager_id on the Employee_Table.The SQL i've written which doesn't seem to work is:ALTER TABLE Branch_TableAdd Constraint Branch_Table_FK1 FOREIGN KEY (manager_id)Add Constraint Branch_Table_UQ1 Unique (manager_id)References Employee_Table (emp_id));Am having trouble with that second Add constraint (UQ1 unique). I know it'ssomething to do with the Add syntax above.So basically, my question is can i create a one-to-one relationship withjust the one SQL Query? And how would i do it?Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have set up a publisher using transactional replication. ( all seems ok). The initial snapshot has been generated.
The replication share on the distributor has all the generated DDL in it.
I add a subscriber. The tables are generated up to tblCountry then I get an incorrect syntax near ')' error
The Replication Monitor shows the following code as the cause. ( bold indicates incorrect sql)
Is this a bug in Replication (as this is an autogenerated sp)or have I configured something incorrectly?
The ddl for the table index is as follows ( from the replication folder)

My column name is correct - I don't know why it would run fine against pubs, but not my db. I do not have quoted identifiers turned on. I have tried using [] around my column name [toclause], but that didn't change anything. Any help would be appreciated.

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!

View 1 Replies View RelatedA 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?
