Here is the scenario: Staging Server - This server acts as the publisher of the snapshot Production Server - This server is the subscriber of the staging snapshot Cascade Servers - These servers receive transactional updates from the production server The staging server applies the snapshot to production successfully. From there the production server has a transactional publication which the subscribers are the cascade servers.

• SQL Server How to get Top 3 records in the group level?

  Hi all, I have a query which is grouped by a field called R_ID, which gives me a list of records for each R_ID. So here is the thing, I want to get only top 3 records for each R_ID. I tried using 'select top 3....', but the result is not what I wanted. It doesn't consider the grouping. Is there any way to achieve this task Please let me know if some body has any idea. Thx. The answer depends on whether or not you have SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2000. If you are using SQL Server 2005 you can use the ROW_NUMBER function. What is also needed is to know what field you are ordering your groups by (to get the top 3). Dave ...Show All

• .NET Development RowUpdated event for Provider Independent DataAdapter

  I am attempting to move to the Provider Independent classes for Data access. Mostly it is going well but I have hit a wall trying to setup the RowUpdated event on a DataAdapter. Using the OleDb classes I would use: System.Data.OleDb. OleDbDataAdapter da; // set up dataset and read table etc...... da.RowUpdated += new System.Data.OleDb.
