Luca,
mostly the advice is to make your application not dependant on column order
and to use column names instead. If this is not possible, then you can
change the column order on the publisher and reinitialize the table (drop
the article and then readd).

It sounds like the table has been added to a transactional publication which
is not queued updating, and your triggers aren't there so there'll be noting
in the queue. For this to happen @update_mode will be the default of 'read
only' rather than 'queued tran' when sp_addsubscription. Pls try dropping
the article and readding it with the different value of @update_mode.

Hy,
i have the following problem:
i try to modifie an article (table) in a context of transactional
replication with queue updating in two way:
1- first way with sp_repladdcolumn and sp_repldropcolumn:

add a temporary field to the article:

exec sp_repladdcolumn @source_object='Alc_AllarmiCritici'
,@column='TempTipoEvento'
,@typetext='nvarchar(100) NULL'
,@publication_to_add='Chironpubb',
@force_reinit_subscription =1

copy the data of the original column in the temporary fields

update Alc_AllarmiCritici set TempTipoEvento=TipoEvento

drop th original column

exec sp_repldropcolumn
@source_object='alc_allarmicritici',@column='TipoEvento'

add a new empty column with the name and data type of the temporary

exec sp_repladdcolumn @source_object='Alc_AllarmiCritici'
,@column='TipoEvento'
,@typetext='nvarchar(100) NULL'
,@publication_to_add='Chironpubb'

copy the date from temporary colum in the new empty column

update Alc_AllarmiCritici set TipoEvento=TempTipoEvento

drop the temporary table

exec sp_repldropcolumn @source_object='alc_allarmicritici'
,@column='TempTipoEvento'

then, i start the snapshot agent

the update of the structure is delivered th the subscriver susccessfully

the problem was that the field now is in the last positon in the table and
not in the same position before the updating. Therefore applications doesnt
function becouse the position of the fields have changed.

Does anybody know how i can resove the trouble?

2 - I exclude from replication the article with sp_dropsubscription and
sp_droparticle , i modified the article and then i put the article in the
replication with sp_addsubscription and sp_addarticle.
In this case sincronization from publisher to subscriver is ok.
Sincronization from subscriver to publisher doesn't function. Should i
create triggers for queue updating?

help me please, thankyou

Thanks Paul for your quick answer,
unfortunatly i can't change the applications so i decided to try the second
way ( drop the article from the pubblication, modify the article and then put
it again in the pubblication).
The proble is that transactions are delivered from pubblication to
subscribers but not in the other way. I had also other issues like the check
for identity columns range (not for replication) is not recreated and the
ms_repl_trans_version column isn't updated anymore when a record is changed (
maybe i have to (manually) recreate objetcs? Is there any way to do that?
What procedures can i use?

Thanks

Luca
