Using Transactional Replication on Tables with Differing Column Order

  • michael.morse (1/31/2011)


    When I do a manual sync of the data I am using import/export wizard to do this is this ok or should I be doing it a different way?

    That should be fine.

  • Yeah I added the subscriptions. There is a checkbox when setting up the publication that says 'create stored procedures during initial synchronization of subscriptions' I unchecked that box since I wasnt going to be initializing the subscription

  • Okay I think I found the answer to my original question

    The same place where you can specify the stored procedures to use instead of the original commands there is a check box where if you dont include special stored procedures you can tell it to use column names instead, I will be testing to make sure this is correct.

  • Great. Let me know how this works.

  • So far it seems this is the way to go

    Setup the publication with the option to use column names and use the export wizard to initialize the data by mapping the columns

    Setup the subscription to skip initializing

    I tested a few inserts and deletes with one of the offending tables and it seems to be able to keep up and replicate the changes no problem. I am going to be trying this again with the whole publication and I will post an update of how it goes.
