transactional replication using script - sql-server

I am able to configure transactional replication using SSMS and it works properly. But i want to configure it using script so that i use it from my c#/vb application.
Is there any way to do that?

If you complete all the step of transactional replication using SSMS then it's not complicated to do with the script.
Just carefully observe that when you configure distribution, publication and subscription SSMS gives you the option to generate script in every step.
You can use that generated script.
But only difference is when you add articles to publication. You can use the following code to add article
declare #name nvarchar(50)
declare curname cursor for
select name from sysobjects where type = 'U'
open curname
fetch next from curname into #name
while ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
begin
if exists(select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS where CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'PRIMARY KEY' AND TABLE_NAME = #name AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'dbo')
begin
exec sp_addarticle
#publication = N'publication_name', #article = #name, #source_owner = N'dbo',
#source_object = #name, #type = N'logbased', #description = null, #creation_script = null,
#pre_creation_cmd = N'drop', #schema_option = 0x000000000803509F,
#identityrangemanagementoption = N'manual', #destination_table = #name,
#destination_owner = N'dbo', #vertical_partition = N''
end
fetch next from curname into #name
end
close curname
deallocate curname

DECLARE #returncode int
EXEC #returncode = xp_cmdshell 'dtexec /f "C:\thePackage.dtsx"'

Looping through each table in a database dropping and creating a trigger

I have following two statements executing triggers:
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.triggers
WHERE Object_ID = Object_ID("Insert_Serverdate_Into_CreatedAt"))
DROP TRIGGER Insert_Serverdate_Into_CreatedAt
GO
CREATE TRIGGER Insert_Serverdate_Into_CreatedAt ON *myTable*
AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO *myTable* (CreatedAt) VALUES(GETDATE())
END
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.triggers
WHERE Object_ID = Object_ID("Insert_Serverdate_Into_UpdatedAt"))
DROP TRIGGER Insert_Serverdate_Into_UpdatedAt
GO
CREATE TRIGGER Insert_Serverdate_Into_UpdatedAt ON *myTable*
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO *myTable* (UpdatedAt) VALUES(GETDATE())
END
GO
Now I have found two possibilities to loop through each table in my database
The first one is:
EXECUTE sp_MSforeachtable #command1 = myCommand
The second one is:
DECLARE #NAME VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE #SQL NVARCHAR(300)
DECLARE CUR CURSOR FOR
SELECT NAME
FROM SYS.TABLES
WHERE TYPE = 'U'
AND SCHEMA_ID = 1
OPEN CUR
FETCH NEXT FROM CUR INTO #NAME
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET #SQL = myCommand
PRINT #SQL
EXEC Sp_executesql
#SQL
FETCH NEXT FROM CUR INTO #NAME
END
CLOSE CUR
DEALLOCATE CUR
The problem here is that these possibilities do not know the keyword GO which I need for executing my commands.
Is there a possibility to loop through all tables and execute my statement?
Thank you!
Give each of the four parts its own query like this:
DECLARE #NAME VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE #SQL1 NVARCHAR(300)
DECLARE #SQL2 NVARCHAR(300)
DECLARE #SQL3 NVARCHAR(300)
DECLARE #SQL4 NVARCHAR(300)
DECLARE CUR CURSOR FOR
SELECT NAME
FROM SYS.TABLES
WHERE TYPE = 'U'
AND SCHEMA_ID = 1
OPEN CUR
FETCH NEXT FROM CUR INTO #NAME
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SET #SQL1 = 'IF EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM sys.triggers
WHERE Object_ID = Object_ID(''['+#Name+'_Insert_Serverdate_Into_CreatedAt]''))
DROP TRIGGER ['+#name+'_Insert_Serverdate_Into_CreatedAt]'
SET #SQL2 = 'CREATE TRIGGER ['+ #Name + '_Insert_Serverdate_Into_CreatedAt] ON ['+#Name+']
AFTER INSERT
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ['+#Name+'] (CreatedAt) VALUES(GETDATE())
END'
SET #SQL3 = 'IF EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM sys.triggers
WHERE Object_ID = Object_ID(''['+#Name+'_Insert_Serverdate_Into_UpdatedAt]''))
DROP TRIGGER ['+#name+'_Insert_Serverdate_Into_UpdatedAt]'
SET #SQL4 = 'CREATE TRIGGER ['+#Name+'_Insert_Serverdate_Into_UpdatedAt] ON ['+#Name+']
AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ['+ #Name+'] (UpdatedAt) VALUES(GETDATE())
END'
PRINT #SQL1
EXEC Sp_executesql #SQL1
PRINT #SQL2
EXEC Sp_executesql #SQL2
PRINT #SQL3
EXEC Sp_executesql #SQL3
PRINT #SQL4
EXEC Sp_executesql #SQL4
FETCH NEXT FROM CUR INTO #NAME
END
CLOSE CUR
DEALLOCATE CUR

Drop and re-create procedure if it exists in T-SQL not working

IF EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'LOCATION') AND type IN (N'P', N'PC'))
DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[LOCATION]
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[LOCATION]
#IP NVARCHAR(100)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE #IPNumber BIGINT
SELECT #IPNumber = dbo.ConvertIp2Num(#IP)
SELECT [country_code],[country_name]
FROM [myDatabase].[dbo].[CountryIP]
WHERE #IPNumber BETWEEN ip_from AND ip_to
END
I have the above code to check if stored procedure LOCATION exists in the current database. I expect it to drop and re-create the procedure if it exists.
However, if the procedure exists the code is still executing and as a result i get the following error 'There is already an object named 'LOCATION' in the database.'
Why is that code failing to drop the procedure if it exists?
The same code works properly for a another procedure in the same database.
Try this (preferred method using a view):
IF EXISTS(SELECT 1
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
WHERE ROUTINE_NAME = 'PRC_NAME'
AND SPECIFIC_SCHEMA = 'schema_name')
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE PRC_NAME
END
or this (not recommended using direct access to a system table):
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM SYS.PROCEDURES
WHERE NAME = 'PRC_NAME'
AND SCHEMA_NAME(SCHEMA_ID) = 'SCHEMA_NAME'
AND [TYPE] IN (N'P',N'PC'))
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE PRC_NAME
END
Why the first method is preferred you can find out for example in this question: SQL Server: should I use information_schema tables over sys tables?
This is kind of late, but others that end up here might want to check out the MSDN documentation that say you could use:
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS dbo.uspMyProc;
GO
This is however available from SQL Server 2016 Community Technology Preview 3.3 (CTP 3.3).
You could use:
IF OBJECT_ID('MSL_GET_IP_LOCATION', 'P') IS NOT NULL
DROP PROCEDURE MSL_GET_IP_LOCATION
GO
Further thought on this is you will need to make sure you have unique names across all objects.

How can I use sys.sp_MSforeachtable with different schema?

I use SQL Server 2008 R2 and I want work with Change Data Capture.
I want run this command for my all Tables
EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_table
#source_schema = N'dbo',
#source_name = N'TestTable',
#role_name = NULL
I write this SQL statement .
Declare #Command NVarchar(Max)
Set #Command = '
EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_table
#source_schema = N''dbo'',
#source_name = N''?'',
#role_name = NULL
'
Exec sys.sp_MSforeachtable #Command
But I use several Schema in my database ?
How can I use sys.sp_MSforeachtable with different schema ?
you mean something like this :
exec sp_MSforeachtable
'select SUBSTRING(''?'', 0,
charindex(''.'', ''?'')),
SUBSTRING(''?'', charindex(''.'', ''?'') + 1, len(''?''))'
Please don't use cursor, and instead of sysview, you could have information_schema.tables
I think it would be easier to work with sys views for that kind of needs
declare #schemaName nvarchar(max);
declare #tableName nvarchar(max);
declare curs CURSOR FOR
select TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
where table_type = 'BASE TABLE'
OPEN curs
FETCH curs into #schemaName, #tableName
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
EXEC sys.sp_cdc_enable_table #source_schema = #schemaName, #source_name = #tableName, #role_name = null
FETCH curs into #schemaName, #tableName;
END
CLOSE curs
DEALLOCATE curs

Run operations on all the tables in all the databases

I'm trying to create a SQL Server script that applies some operations to all the tables in all the databases. I need to rename some tables if some conditions are respected, truncate the tables otherwise.
This is my script
EXEC sp_MSforeachdb
#command1 = '
IF not exists(select 1 where ''?'' in (''master'',''model'',''msdb'',''tempdb''))
EXEC [?].dbo.sp_MSforeachtable
#command1 = ''
IF(substring(&, 1, 3)=pv_ and right(&, 5) != _data and right(&, 4) != _BCK)
exec sp_RENAME & , &_BCK''
ELSE IF (right(&, 4) != _BCK)
TRUNCATE TABLE &
#replacechar = ''&'''
I got some errors but I'm new to SQL Server and I have not idea how to fix this script.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Here is a solution for start. It won't be quick, but it loops all tables of all databases on the server. Inside in the second cursor you can deceide what to do with the table.
(The query is not optimalized, just a quick solution)
DECLARE #DBName NVARCHAR(50)
DECLARE #TableName NVARCHAR(100)
DECLARE #DynamicSQL NVARCHAR(300)
DECLARE #DBCursor CURSOR
SET #DBCursor = CURSOR FOR
SELECT NAME FROM SYS.DATABASES
WHERE NAME NOT IN ('master','tempdb','model','msdb')
OPEN #DBCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM #DBCursor INTO #DBName
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE #TempTableDatas
(
name varchar(100),
objectID int
)
SET #DynamicSQL = 'INSERT INTO #TempTableDatas
SELECT name, object_id FROM [' + #DBName + ']' + '.sys.Tables '
EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL #DynamicSQL
DECLARE #TableCursor CURSOR
SET #TableCursor = CURSOR FOR
SELECT name FROM #TempTableDatas
OPEN #TableCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM #TableCursor INTO #TableName
WHILE ##FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SELECT #TableName, #DBName
FETCH NEXT FROM #TableCursor INTO #TableName
END
CLOSE #TableCursor
DEALLOCATE #TableCursor
DROP TABLE #TempTableDatas
FETCH NEXT FROM #DBCursor INTO #DBName
END
CLOSE #DBCursor
DEALLOCATE #DBCursor

Wrapper stored procedure to create publication for transactional replication

I have created a wrapper stored procedure to create publication for transactional replication for SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition SP3. But when I execute the procedure I get the following error. The column "file_exists" is not user defined. This error doesn't make any sense to me. This works on Dev environment but same code doesn't work on test environment. Dev and Test are identical as far as I can tell. I also tried to explicitly set options, made them 5496 (SELECT ##OPTIONS). Any help greatly appreciated.

Sorry, old post I know, but I ran into a very similar situation and got around it. I haven't found a workable solution anywhere else. I'm including my experience to help others.
Summary of my situation is that I have an msbuild process running a series of scripts from a manifest file (text file with a series of script names) within a transaction. The scripts that were intended to create and configure agent jobs always died with the same error. (invalid column name "file_exists")
Procs used in my failing script(s):
msdb.dbo.sp_add_category
msdb.dbo.sp_add_job
msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep
msdb.dbo.sp_update_job
msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobschedule
msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobserver
Commenting out the call to msdb.dbo.sp_add_jobstep allowed the script to complete.
I do have SQL command variables in the form #database_name=N'$(DatabaseName)' in the script as well. This led to some misdirected efforts to try to use escape macros as mentioned in the "Important" note under [ #command= ] 'command' on the documentation for sp_add_jobstep.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187358.aspx
If I run the build up to, but not including, the job creation script and start over, it succeeds.
What I found, after much trial and error, was that, even though the procs are qualified as being in [MSDB], unless I actually included a USE statement, the process fails. By beginning the script with "USE [MSDB] GO" and then switching back to my build target (i.e. USE [MyBuildDB] GO), I no longer get the error.
My agent jobs create as expected, and several scripts within the build run without error.
It's hard to say what the problem is without seeing all of the code and having the schema. I'd recommend not creating a wrapper to create publication(s). The create publication scripts can be saved and executed on demand when needed - eliminating the need for a wrapper.
