Replicating views and stored procedures

  • Hello,

    I'm trying to create a replication of a database for use as a 'workspace' for the client so they can go, try changes, if they like them, replicate the changes back without fear of destroying anything real until they're sure they want to make the changes.

    Tables and data replicate over fine using a PULL subscription.

    Views and stored procedures are giving me fits. Views do not seem to be smart enough when auto generated to create themselves in dependency order.

    Stored procedure replication seems to have issues with aliased columns made up select col1 + "-" + col2 + "-" + col3 as "CombinedField" Grumps that the column names "-" are invalid.

    Any thoughts on this? Everything else is falling into place except for this pain.

    Regards,

  • Change from double quotes to single quotes. Your syntax should be

    col1 + '-' + col2 + '-' + col3 as CombinedField

    Note that I didn't put quotes around the field name although I could have. If you have spaces in the field name you can use either double quotes or [] to name the field but I would opt for the [] myself.
