  Hi all,

  Does sql server 2012 support varbinary data type for replication (Merge or transaction)?

  And if so, is there a limitation of data size?

  Thanks.

  Hi,

  I'm pretty sure varbinary data type is supported. At least it was in 2008-2008R2 and I didn't see it deprecated.

  In any case be careful using it: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/repltalk/archive/2010/02/02/sql-server-merge-replication-best-practices.aspx Go to "General Merge Replication Best Practices" section

  HTH,
