Hey there,
using 9.2.1 gmpe sql 2008 r2.
The other night i was adding new fields, qiuet a lot to be honest.
When i wanted to start the rebuild i encountered the error "Failed to copy records from CONTACT2 to GOLDMINETEMPCOPYTABLE"
I encountered this message before and did all steps to clear out the possible misstakes with goldminecopytable. Didnt work.
So i started to delete the Fields again and thought to myself, delete half of them first and try again maybe goldmine isnt handling too many adds at a time very well. So i deleted 10 of my created fields and the rebuild seemed to work.
After the rebuild i did the nessecary steps to check if everything is working fine. When it came to replicate data i encountered the following error: "Database operation error: The row with lengh of 8822 cant be created, it is longer than destination lengh of 8060" (this is translated by me, may warry with the original english errormessage)
After i deleted all my newly created fields again, everything was working normal again.
Is it possible that the GM or the SQL Database have a limit when it comes to fieldcount or rowlengh of the database?
What are the steps i could take to overcome this problem? Are there any resolutions to some kind of this behaviour?
Thanks in advance guys 
As always, kind regards from germany. |

Sure, don't use the REBUILD function to add your fields to contact2. Do this instead:
| Quote: |
Step 1: add your fields in GoldMine, be careful to say NO to the prompts from GoldMine to rebuild the database.
Step2: Execute this SQL script in SQM Management Studio
declare @fieldname varchar(15)
declare @fieldlen integer
declare @fieldtype varchar(20)
DECLARE udef CURSOR
FOR select field_name, field_type, field_len from contudef left join syscolumns on
(contudef.field_name = syscolumns.name and id in (select id from sysobjects where name = 'CONTACT2' and type = 'U'))
where dbfname = 'CONTACT2' and syscolumns.name is null
OPEN udef
FETCH NEXT FROM udef into @fieldname, @fieldtype, @fieldlen
WHILE @@fetch_status = 0
begin
if @fieldtype='N'
begin
select @fieldtype='float'
print 'alter table contact2 add ' + @fieldname + ' ' + @fieldtype + ' null'
end
if @fieldtype='D'
begin
select @fieldtype='datetime'
print 'alter table contact2 add ' + @fieldname + ' ' + @fieldtype + ' null'
end
if @fieldtype='C'
begin
select @fieldtype='varchar'
print 'alter table contact2 add ' + @fieldname + ' ' + @fieldtype + ' ' + '(' + cast(@fieldlen as varchar (3)) + ')' + ' null'
end
FETCH NEXT FROM udef into @fieldname, @fieldtype, @fieldlen
end
DEALLOCATE udef
GO
Step 3: Take the code generated by the above script, paste it into a new query window and execute it. |
Note that I assume you will backup your database prior to taking these steps! |
