SQL 2005 Merge replication error: The merge process could not retrieve column information for table

  • We have a SQL 2005 Merge publication pushing out to 2 subscribers. All servers are running SQL 2005 Std, the publisher is 32bit and the subscribers 64

    One of the subscribers has stopped replicating reporting the error message:

    The merge process could not retrieve column information for table 'dbo.CS_SourcePermission'. Verify that you have sufficient privileges on the database and retry the operation. (Source: MSSQL_REPL, Error number: MSSQL_REPL-2147201016)

    The other subscriber is fine, and no changes where made to the table in question. Re-initialized the subscription and pushed that out with a new snapshot, but still got the error

    Replication moitor also shows these two errors:

    Incorrect syntax near '/'. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 102)

    Get help: http://help/102

    Unclosed quotation mark after the character string '> <!--MSmerge_sel_sp_B17AD670785242A51E7B119871A94007 @maxschemaguidforarticle = NULL, @type = 6 '. (Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 105)

    Get help: http://help/105

    Any ideas on what to do or where to look?

  • Hello,

    Has your Merge Replication been in place for a while? In which case does this thread relate to your issue (it is SQL 2000 related though):

  • Hi,

    Replication had been in place for about a year.

    Had to delete the subscription and recreate it the other day due to some problems, was working fine until about 4:00 PM yesterday.

    I've just changed the agent to use Windows Auth and a different SQL user, re-initialised and told it not to upload changes, appears to be applying the schema, so I'll see how it goes

    I'll also have a look at that thread and see what that has to say
