I want to run the following rename
EXECUTE sp_rename N'dbo.Semesters.IsPublic', N'Tmp_ShowNCs', 'COLUMN'
I get the error
Msg 4928, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_rename, Line 547
Cannot alter column 'IsPublic' because it is 'REPLICATED'.
Msg 0, Level 20, State 0, Line 0
A severe error occurred on the current command. The results, if any, should be discarded.
I have enabled change data capture (CDC) for this table. Probably thats why this column is "replicated". SSMS shows replicated = yes.
So I want to know if this is normal or a bug. I want to keep CDC on but rename this column. Do I have options other than deleting existing CDC information and re-enabling CDC?
you did in wrong order. You have to turn off CDC on table (CDC on DB is turned on), then change column, then turn On CDC on table.
To undo your problem you have to turn on CDC on DB, then on table, turn off CDC on table, rename column, turn on CDC on table.

Using SQL Server 2016. Have a locally hosted database that uses the Windows login for the sa, which is what I am using to login.
Yesterday I ran
CREATE TABLE [Otis].[AnalyzerGroups]
(
[id] [int] IDENTITY,
[Name] [varchar](50) NULL
);
and got command successfully completed. Today I tried selected from this table but got an error:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'Otis.AnalyzerGroups'
So I thought I misremembered and tried running the create statement again but then got the error -
Msg 15530, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object with name "AnalyzerGroups" already exists.
The statement has been terminated.
So then I tried DROP TABLE [Otis].[AnalyzerGroups]; and got
Msg 3701, Level 11, State 5, Line 1
Cannot drop the table 'Otis.AnalyzerGroups', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
I tried making a new test table and the same thing. The first time I run the create statement command successfully completes, but then I can't select / insert / drop from the table, and I cannot see it in the Object explorer either.
I assume this must be some permissions issue but I don't know what property is keeping me from viewing these tables - its not like I'm putting security on these tables, and I can see every other table in our database. Any thoughts?
You put it most likely in the wrong database. Try this.
sp_MSforeachdb 'SELECT "?" AS DB, * FROM [?].sys.tables WHERE name like
''%AnalyzerGroups%'''
There was a trigger in the SQL Server database that fired any time a new table was created under any schema, and would then transfer it to the dbo schema. So my tables did exist, but they were under the schema I was expecting because of this trigger. Why does this trigger exist? Got me. But it's in production and has been for over a decade so there's some reason/it's definitely not changing. Thanks for the help though everyone.
I want to change the DURABILITY of a memory-optimized table in SQL Server 2016 from SCHEMA_AND_DATA to SCHEMA_ONLY.
The Microsoft documentation suggests that the following ALTER TABLE statement should work:
ALTER TABLE mem_opt_table
DURABILITY = SCHEMA_ONLY
But it gives the following error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 12
Incorrect syntax near 'DURABILITY'.
What is the correct syntax for changing the durability setting on a table? Are there any additional steps that I am missing?
The documentation linked in the original question is faulty as was suggested by many of the comments. That is confirmed in the github issue response here: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/sql-docs/issues/3523#issuecomment-554511264.
Therefore, the only way to do this is to drop the table and re-create it with the desired DURABILITY setting.
SQL Server Admin is not my forte. So please bear with while I explain this
A SQL Server 2012 cluster is involved in a Change data capture ( CDC ) effort using a 3rd party CDC utility. for it to work replication needs to be turned on, without replication CDC will not work. The CDC taps some 2000+ odd tables from SQL Server in a database Db1. Out of these we found out that some 200+ tables undergo truncate and load as against increments. So we removed those from our CDC lists but since replication is turned on at DB Level we also need to remove these from publication database so that truncates happening to this exception list wont need replication switched off DB level ( aka truncates to these tables and replication can co-exist. As its known, for truncates to happen we need to switch off replication. The code is in prod so replacing truncate by delete is not an option now besides the fact that for billion row tables deletes are going to be expensive & time consuming )
The above is the requirement. So based on that if a better solution can be conceived do let me know
What I tried :
EXEC sys.sp_droparticle #publication = 'pub', #article = 'art', #force_invalidate_snapshot = 1
Error I get
Msg 14013, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_droparticle, Line 104 [Batch Start Line 2]
This database is not enabled for publication.
Another SP
DECLARE #subscriber AS sysname;
EXEC sp_dropsubscription #publication = 'AR_PUBLICATION_00010', #article = 'BPA_BRGR_RUL_GRP_R' ,#subscriber=#subscriber
Msg 14013, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_MSrepl_dropsubscription, Line 55 [Batch Start Line 1]
This database is not enabled for publication.
But using GUI I am able to uncheck the tables I dont want in that publication. ( right click publication --> properties --> articles --> check /uncheck whatever you want excluded ) . I dont have any subscription just there is a publication.
Whatever code I ran through GUI above I can def. run through T-SQL But I dont know what code was it that was run ? How do I get this done using a scripting approach. I have 200+ tables to deal with and unchecking em 1 by 1 ain't helping
Nearly four years late, but in case it helps anyone... I think you want sp_dropmergearticle not sp_droparticle.
EXEC sys.sp_dropmergearticle #publication = 'pub', #article = 'art', #force_invalidate_snapshot = 1
I was getting an identical error message using sp_droparticle, but sp_dropmergearticle removed the table from the publication and allowed me to delete it.
Whatever code I ran through GUI above I can def. run through T-SQL But I dont know what code was it that was run ? How do I get this done using a scripting approach.
SSMS does not have a special API. Everything it does, it does through TSQL. So use SQL Profiler to watch what SSMS does, and capture the script.
The following error occurs when trying to load the target table (SQL Server)
Server: Msg 544, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'table' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.
The target table has identity column hence it has been failing. And it is not failing for one session which follows same pattern and is in same workflow.
Could you please help me resolve this issue.
You should not connect identity column with any port in target. Leave it unconnected
This is on a replicated table in SQL Server 2005
I used the following command:
ALter table dbo.apds alter column docket nvarchar(12) null
and it executed with no errors, everything looks clean.
Column spec shows it now has 12 (was previously set to 6) on both tables, publisher
and subscriber.
But when I try to put more than 6 characters in that column, I get the error:
Msg 8152 lefel 16, state 13, procedure trgapdsupdate, line 5
String or binary data would be truncated.
I can still only write 6 characters of data to that column even though it shows 12 as the
column specification..
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance..
You say
I get the error: msg 8152 lefel 16, state 13, procedure trgapdsupdate,
line 5 string or binary data would be truncated. The statement has
been terminated
So what is trgapdsupdate?
From the name it looks like an update trigger on the table apds?
Does that need to be updated to deal with the new column value? For example writing to an audit table whose definition needs to be updated.
