How to replication a tabel with more than 255 field ?

  • In SQL Server 2000, I've run into the limitation where you can only have 255 columns in a table when doing transactional replication. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

    please help

  • I do not know of one.  You also have a limiation of total width of the rows... and replication supposedly adds a column (with a particular name that I do not remember) if that column does not exist.  This can (could) blow both limitations.

  • ms_repl_tran_version is created in order for replication to track versions of rows so it can know which is the latest when using updateable subscriptions.

    I don't think there is a work around for the number of columns. However you may want to consider splitting the table in to segments.

    255 columns sounds a bit excessive to me.
