Replication to the Non Default File Group

Hi,

I have a snapshot replication set up on a SQL 2K Server publishing to other SQL 2K servers. The publisher database has mutliple file groups - which is structured the same as the subscriber databases. The snapshot has been set to delete and recreate the tables on the subscribers - this is a performance decision as the tables are large and this is the better approach. The tables reside in their own file groups (but not the default). I want the replication agents to recreate these tables in the original file groups and not the default.

Is there a method within Replication to specify which file group to recreate the table in so it doesn't fill up the default file group?

Thanks in advance,

Pete

Hi Pete,

The tables on the subscriber will only be created on the default filegroup. The options are either to not drop tables and use delete instead or modify the default filegroup of the destination databases.

You can create a job that does the following:

1. sets the default filegroup of the subscriber database to secondary filegroup.

2. Agent starts and does the job.

3. Once agent job has finished and call a new job that will set the filegroup backup to primary.

In SQL 2005 you have the option to specify the scriptts that you want to execute before and after the snapshot is applied.

There is a third option. After the snapshot has been created, edit the script files on the distributor which hold the CREATE TABLE commands and correct them to use the correct file groups.

You can also setup a T/SQL script which can be run after the snapshot has been delivered. Write a script which rebuilds the clustered indexes of the tables on the correct file group. By rebuilding the clustered index and moving it to another file group you will move the tables to that file group as well.

replication to sql server by activeX

Hello
i have a an application developed in vb6.0 and back end sql server 2000.
i have a batch file that i created to replicate the data from the sql server
2000 on my pc(local) to replicate on another sql server 2000 which is found
on another machine and the batch file is working fine.
i would like to implement it in my VB application.That is the user will
have a button on the program and on click this will do the replication that
is being done by the batch file for the moment.
i can call the batch file but we would like to do it by activeX.
Is there any activeX that already exist?
how can i do this by using activeX in VB6.0
If you need additional info please let me know..
Thx a lot

Replication on wireless networks - Urgent

I have an application that uses SQL Server merge replication. This application uses a settings.ini file to connect to the server/publisher. This file contains the publisher name, publisher database name, subscriber name, subscriber database name and conne
ction string.
This application works fine over the LAN and even WLAN. I want the application to identify the publisher from a server that's on the internet and my subscriber will be a mobile node. The problem is when I put the publisher in a public network, my subscrib
er doesnot recogonise it. I tried giving the IP address of the publisher along with the publisher name in the ini file. But this doesn't work. I do not have the source code of the application and hence cannot do anything inside the application to make it
recogonise the publisher.
Is there a solution for this? Please help.
Rammy,
hopefully using an Alias for the IP address will do it. Also you'll need to
consider the permissions and if you are using Windows authentication for the
agents, then this'll need to be of the pass-through variety. Here is an
