    I admit that replication is not only for scalability however from the article you mentioned

    The definition of high availability below hardly applies to replication I think.

    Chuck is right. You cant change this without rebuilding the publication.

  • RE: How to Migrtae Merge replication Database from 2005 EN to 2008 EN

    I'd recommend at least having 3 instances installed somewhere (like your desktop) so you can have a play and test this.

  • RE: How to Migrtae Merge replication Database from 2005 EN to 2008 EN
