insert, delete, update stored procedures in Snapshot

Just a general question ....
When the initial snapshot for a replication runs, I see it creates a
bunch of sp_MSins, sp_MSdel, and sp_MSupd, 3 stored procedures for
each of the articles in my publication.
I see these sp's at the subscriber db, but what I do not understand is
why I see 2 stored procedures that are identical, one named with
bracquets, the other without bracquets, e.g. [sp_MSupd_Entity Address]
and sp_MSupd_Entity Address ?
My current replication fails because it tries to run sp_MSupd_Entity
Address that apparently never gets created. But [sp_MSupd_Entity
Address] is created.
how can I tell the replication to use [sp_MSupd_Entity Address] not
sp_MSupd_Entity Address ??
Having SQL Server create two sets of replication stored procedures is an error.
SQL Server will by default autogenerate stored procedures in the unbracketed form, ie sp_MSupd_Entity Address.
It looks like the space is in the table name is causing this problem, but I am unable to reproduce your problem on SQL 2000 sp3 8.000.818. What version are you running.
Do a sp_browsereplcmds in your distribution database to see what procs SQL Server is using.
To answer your question, if you need to change the proc name that SQL Server is using right click on your publication, click on the articles tab, click on the browse button to the right of your table name, click on commands tab, and make the changes there

INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN CHECK constraint.

Hi,
I'm attempting to insert a new row into an SQL table using ADO written
with c# and stored procedures.
The ADO code is running OK, and i know it should work as i have used
equivilent code succeffully for other tables. However i am getting the
following error:
{"INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN CHECK constraint 'CK
tblPatient pntStage'. The conflict occurred in database 'YLCdbSQL',
table 'tblPatient', column 'pntStage'.\r\nThe statement has been
terminated." }
pntStage has data type NVarChar, and maximum length 8. The values i am
attempting to input do not violate these criteria. I have deleted the
complete row and added it again incase there was some hidden input
mask, this has not solved the problem.
Any ideas what the problem might be? Here's my stored procedure if
taht's any help.
CREATE PROCEDURE proc_InsertPatient
(@.patientNo int output,
@.pntUnitID nvarchar(15),
@.pntTitle nvarchar(4),
@.pntFName nvarchar(20),
@.pntLName nvarchar(30),
@.pntDOB nvarchar(8),
@.pntSex nvarchar(1),
@.pntAddress1 nvarchar(150),
@.pntAddress2 nvarchar(150),
@.pntAddress3 nvarchar(150),
@.pntCountryNo int output,

@.pntHPhone nvarchar (14),

@.pntT tinyint,
@.pntN tinyint,
@.pntM tinyint,
@.pntPreviousTreatments char (1000),
@.pntFurtherNotes char (1000)
)
AS
INSERT INTO tblPatient (pntUnitID, pntTitle, pntFName, pntLName,
pntDOB, pntSex, pntAddress1,
pntAddress2, pntAddress3, pntCountryNo, pntPostcode, pntHPhone,
pntWPhone,
pntMobPhone, pntEmail, pntStage, pntT, pntN, pntM,
pntPreviousTreatments, pntFurtherNotes)
VALUES
(@.pntUnitID, @.pntTitle, @.pntFName, @.pntLName, @.pntDOB, @.pntSex,
@.pntAddress1,
@.pntAddress2, @.pntAddress3, @.pntCountryNo, @.pntPostcode, @.pntHPhone,

@.pntMobPhone, @.pntEmail, @.pntStage, @.pntT, @.pntN, @.pntM,
@.pntPreviousTreatments, @.pntFurtherNotes)
SELECT @.patientNo=@.@.IDENTITY
GO
Thanks.Hi
pntStage might have a check constraint that specifics that the values can
only be in a certain range or of a certain patters. Look at the Column's
check constrains though EM to see what has been setup.

value you are trying to insert. This will help us identify the cause of
your problem.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'deleted the complete row'.
Since the insert failed, I wouldn't expect you would find the row in
tblPatient.
Hope this helps.

>|||Mike,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I've looked in EM at the tblPatient table. Within it's properties i can
only see row Name (pntStage), Data Type (nvarchar), Size (8), Nulls
(not allowed), Default (blank).
Is this what you mean? Is there another way to check more detailed
constraints?
Thanks again.|||Hi
In EM, when you are in the Table Edit screen, top left next to the save
button is the Properties button. On the check constraints tab, you can see
what columns have constraints and what they are.

Excuse my ignorance, but where do i find the table DDL?
As regards the input value, i have tried a few "Unknown", "I", "II",
"Ia", to name a few.
By the deleting row comment, i was just meaning that it didn't work, so
i completely removed that particular row from the table, then recreated
it. I thought perhaps i might have put some sort of input mask
constraint or something on it that i had forgotten about. By doing this
it would remove that possibility.
Thanks.|||Mike,
I've just done that, there were some constraints on it. not sure how
they got there, but i've altered them, problem solved! :)
Thank you very much!|||One method to generate the table DDL is to navigate to the table using the
Query Analyzer Object Browser and then right-click on the table and select
script to clipboard as create. You can then paste into your post.
Hope this helps.

>|||You might want to find out WHY someone put constraints on the data.
Having a default of a blank on what should be a code is a sign that
someone did not do much design work. Of course we know that when we
saw the "tbl;" and "pnt-" prefixes that violation basic rules for
naming data elements. The "tbl-" prefix is silly in a language with
one data structure; the "pnt-" tells us the location f one occurence of
a data element, not what it is. When you wrote "pntSex" did you mean
"sex_code", "sex_frequency", "sex_preference", "sex_total"? Again,
name it for what it is, never for where it is.
And the use of NVARCHAR(n) in codes is usually a sign the nobody
designed the encodings; we prefer CHAR(n) so can add constraints and do
validation. Do you really use a lot of Chinese characters? If you
allow it, it will come.
