refreshing data on publisher database

  • Hi,

    I have transactional replication set up on a database which needs data refresh from prod environment. I went through this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa237094(SQL.80).aspx - Here the backup of same database was asked to restore.

    If backup from different server is used then it would break the replication.

    Without dropping and recreating the subscriptions, are there any other options available to perform this task?

  • Hi ShankMonk, Got a question for you. When you say you want to refresh the Data from Prod, are you talking about different tables that are not replicated or are you trying to Refresh data in Publisher that is not in the production environment with latest data?

  • I'm trying to refresh latest data from Production to DEV publisher which includes data from all tables.

    I used RedGate to synchronize data. But I need conventional method to do it.

    Thanks.

  • You can do a reinitialize data. Snapshot with Truncate in the Destination table to get this done.
