  • I have been researching on Transactional and Merge replication for MS SQL 2000 but I have to say it's a bit overwhelmed.  Does anyone out there know any good websites?  Any inputs would greatly appreciate it!

  • http://www.replicationanswers.com is a good resource. I havent yet seen any step-by-step guide anywhere. I did a brief to-the-point write up an article on setting up Trans-Rep from a backup copy. If you are interested you can check out my blog.

  • Hi,

    I am a bit confused in transactional replication, can I do an update, insert, or delete in the subscriber?  or is it a read only database?  If so, is there a way to get around it?  like bi-directional maybe?  and how do you set it up? 

    Does anyone out there know what I am talking about?   🙂

    Please help!

    Thanks,

  • You could do INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on subscriber but then your data could be out of sync with your publisher. There is a bi-directional replication in SQL 2005. Its called Peer-Peer Replication. There are clear instructions in BOL on setting it up.

  • Thanks Dinakar!  My company is now interested in setting up Merge replication in SQL Server 2000.  I have the material of how to set it up step by step but I was just wondering where I can find the testing methods, or if you know of any? 

    Any comment would be greatly appreciated!

  • Hi,

    I am using SQL Sever 2000 and am trying to configure replication using Merge as the method.  I have two servers, server A (Publisher and Distributor), server B (Subscriber), I followed the wizard to configure publisher, distributor and subscriber but got the error message, it said that "Error 18483: could not connect to 'server A' because 'distributor_admin' is not defined as the remote login at the server".  I am not really sure what I did incorrect but any help would really appreciate it!!!!
