The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SQL 2005 Replication and NOT FOR REPLICATION attribute

Asked by phermi in Databases Miscellaneous, Active Directory

Tags: replication, sql

I am not a DBA or an SQL expert, but I’ve been around long enough to understand things (specially if you treat me like if I were Forest “Dumb”  ja,ja )

Background:
• SBS Box running SQL 2005 (Workgroup Edition – Processor License) holding a DB in SQL 2000 compatible mode
• Third party development company develop and app that uses that DB through a web site hosted on the same box
• Application is being in use since Dec. 2005
• Snapshot replication was set to produce a daily COMPLETE snapshot of the DB with the respective publication. On an another SBS box, running SQL 2000, a subscription is created to daily pull the snapshot

Problem:
• Suddenly, update to tables started to fail. Developer review code and DB structure and pointed out the only visible difference : there was a “column property” for the table primary key called “Not for replication” that was set to YES. Developers said that his affect the IDENTITY and caused the application not to update the table contents.
• We focus primarily on the most important table and never checked if the update problem happened on other tables as well.

Current Situation:
• In sake of time, we drop replication and change that property to NO in all tables. The update works now.

QUESTIONS:
1. Does this make sense to you experts?
2. Could replication cause all this and if so, what measures need to be taken in consideration for the application to work with replication?

Thanks in advance
