Tombstone duplicate key error on delete

  • Merge repl sql 2k sp2

    Doing a delete on a table. Receive the following error:

    Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'MSmerge_tombstone' with unique index 'uc1MSmerge_tombstone'.

    I have tried 2 things, neither successful:

    *sp_mergecleanupmetadata

    *identifying any rows in msmerge_tombstone that have a tablenick that matches the nickname in sysmergearticles - then deleted the row from tombstone.

    I am on a quest to figure this out without dropping any replication objects. I have been successful in most cases but this one has me a little confused. Any thoughts?

    Remember this when a developer tells you it will just be temporary. Temporary = Permanent.

  • One other thing...I have noticed that msmerge_tombstone on the publisher and subscriber have a different number of records. Is that normal...I would assume not.
