Change Data Capture

  • We performed a drop on one of our CDC Tables when we should have performed a sp_cdc_disable_table .  Now when we try to create the CDC Table via sp_cdc_enable_table and specifying the @Capture_Instance name we get the following error:

    Could not create a capture instance because the capture instance name ' ' already exists in the current database. Specify an explicit unique name for the parameter @capture_instance.

    So by performing a drop on this CDC Table it appears that SQL Server is confused cause it's thinking this CDC Table already exists when it doesn't. The only way I could make this work is execute sp_cdc_enable_table with a @capture_instance name different than the original. Then it worked and created the CDC Table. Maybe this is my only workaround?
