Peer to peer VS Merge replication

  • Hi

    What is the diff between merge and peer to peer transactional replication

  • A LOT!

    Merge replication

    - is trigger based

    - It uses only merge agent

    - It could be set to track column changes instead of row changes

    - It could optimize the final changes produced at synchronization time.

    Peer-to-Peer

    - Is Transaction Log based

    - It needs logReader + Distribution agent

    - It creates at least one procedure call per row affected

    - It is only available on EE

    There is a very gross summary there is a lot more but it should get you startd.

  • Hi

    Thanks

    can u provide some senario where merge and peer to peer can be used

  • Merge was designed for loosely connected systems that occasionally synchronize their data. Example SalesForce.

    Peer-to-Peer was simply an extension of bi-directional transactional replication with low latency in mind.

    It is useful in redundant server-to-server data propagation.
