In whatever version of SQL Server 2005, can I make merge or any other type
of replication to replicate data only from subscriber to publisher (only
upload changes)?
-- Thanks, Oskar.

I've configured push Merge replication between MS SQL Server 2005 Standard
and MS SQL Server 2005 Express. What kind of difficulties will I experience
if I don't recreate replicated tables during the reinitialization of
subscribers?

Just installed SQL Server 2K5 SP1-default install-using local acct-copied new
db from another server-configured snapshot and merge agent using impersonate
SQL settings ok-ran snapshot ok-ran merge agent and saw this in Monitor
details

SQL Server 2000, merge replication
Record created by subscriber on subscriber DB (has ID not in publisher
range) exists on publisher but on subscriber. We are using upload and
download as a separated in time processes. Subscriber definitely

I have 2 questions,
1. In what circumstances a subscriber need a re-initialization?
2. When I re initialize the second time, Does it re applies the whole
snapshot to the subscriber again or applies only the delta corrections?

we are replicating from SQL 2000 to Oracle via linked server. and are
getting the following error "The process encountered invalid column
data in bcp file", the bcp file is too big to investigate it, any one
has any insight of this?

How does conflicts happen in merge replication? Whether it is
a)    rows updated at the SAME TIME at different subscribers?
Or
    b) synchronization is not depend on time but depend on when you

Can anyone give me a clue as to do DataWarehousing using Replication
Publisher/Subscriber?
I have 4 Production Database's that I want to replicate to one
database acting as a DataWarehouse.

I have 2 databases and plan to user transactional or snapshot replication to
replicate data from db1 to db2. db1.table1 name char(20), addr char(500) and
db2.table2 has entity char(20), addr1 char(100), addr2 char(100) etc.
Table Names & column Names and different but type remain ...

I need to know exactly the sequence of events in synchronous mirroring mode.
What im reading is this:
1. tranaction recved from a client by primary
2. primary writes trans to trans log

How can I add an index to a article in a Merge publication and have that go
to the subscribers?
Thanks,

after update from 2000SP4 to 2005SP2 I noticed two stored procedures having
issue due to changed functionality of the @@IDENTITY vs. SCOPE_INDETITY(). I
changed them on the publisher/distributor and regenrated the snapshot before
marking subscriptions for reinitialization. Next ...

I created a subscription programmatically so I have the
CreateSyncAgentByDefaut property = false.  Do I have to do some additional
functions to work with and clean up the subscription metadata.
Thanks for your help.

I have a few databases that are replicating over the internet and all but one
is working properly.  I have a single database that gives the following error:
The process could not enumerate deletions at the 'subscriber'.
If I manually run the agent it successfully completes, but it ...
