Adding New Column & updating bulk data in merge replication

Hi,
We have about 50 databases (SQL Server 2000, SP3) which are merge
replicated. We merge replicate about 100 odd tables in each of these
database. We need to add couple of columns in one of our major transaction
table where most insert/updates are being done. This table presently on
average has 5 lacs records.
During testing, we noticed that it takes about 60-80 minutes to add a
column in this table. Considering the # of database we have where the change
need to implemented, we will not be able to plan the upgrade without
production downtime. For upgrade 50 database it will take about 50 hours.
What are the options available in Replication so this can be done quickly
w/o any production downtime.
Adding to this, in one of the column we have added to the transaction table
, we need to update a new value. On testing we found that for 5 lacs records
it takes anyway between 2-3 hours. This takes roughly another 75 hours for
us to do this update after adding the new column in the table. How can this
be speeded up ?
thanks,
Soura
What's a lacs?
Basically there is probably no good solution for this. I would look at doing
a sync. Then creating my publication and then backing it up and restoring it
to all the subscribers and doing a no sync subscription, or I would look at
regenerating a snapshot and distributing it after you have made the column
change.

|||5 lacs is 500 K or 500 thousand i.e 500,000
lacs is primarily an indian unit of measurment. 1 lac is 0.1 million

Adding more RAM for MS SQL Server 2000

Hi
I have a MS SQL Server 2000 SP3 on MS Windows Server 2003 SP1 machine at my
hand. The SQL Server is configured for dynamic memory allocation. The machine
had 2GB of RAM in it when I installed the SQL Server. Now I've installed two
more gigabytes of RAM into the machine and I want to allow the SQL Server to
use a total of 3GB of RAM (by means of turning on the /3GB switch in Windows
boot.ini).
Do I also have to reconfigure any SQL Server parameters after enabling it to
use the additional gigabyte of RAM?
Many thanks,
Oskar
No. All you have to do is add the /3GB switch to boot.ini and reboot.
If you wanted to address > 4GB of RAM then you would have to start
playing with AWE but <= 4GB is addressable with normal windows memory
addressing & therefore normal MSSQL dynamic memory management.
