Bug #: 50003722 (SQL Hotfix)
Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 or SQL Server 2008 fix release.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • In Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or in Microsoft SQL Server 2008, you have a table that contains a computed column.
  • The table has a composite primary key that contains the computed column.
  • You set up a replication, and then add the table as an article to the publication.
In this scenario, when you perform Data Manipulation Language (DML) operations in the article and a concurrent snapshot is created, the Distribution Agent fails. Additionally, error messages that resemble the following appear in the Distribution Agent log:
<DateTime> Parameterized values for above command(s): {{67, 'aaa', '62', 'Test2', 'Mrs', 'F'}}
<DateTime> Agent message code 201. Procedure or function 'sp_MSins_dbo<TableName>_msrepl_ccs' expects parameter '@c7', which was not supplied.

CAUSE

In the scenario that the "Symptoms" section describes, when a concurrent DML statement is pending and a snapshot is being created, a specific stored procedure that is named sp_MSins_dbo<TableName>_msrepl_ccs is created to propagate the DML statement. This stored procedure requires the primary key to be passed as a parameter. However, because of a bug, the primary key is not passed if the key contains the computed column. This causes the problem that the "Symptoms" section describes.
