Drop table from running merge replication


Drop table from running merge replication Al S

sql server replication:
Hi

We have a serious problem with a merge replication that has been running
successfully until some rows were added to one of the tables and now SQL
Server is issuing the following error message

The schema definition of base table 'dbo'.'cmqb_open' at the Subscriber does
not match the table in the Publisher database. Re-establish the subscription
after recreating the base table to match the table at the Publisher.
(Source: Merge Replication Provider (Agent); Error number: -2147199478)

This table can be recreated so it doesn't matter if its removed from the
publication/subscription. I can't however drop the subscription as it would
screw the unmerged data.

Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

Thanks in advance
Allan

In merge on SQL 2000 effectively you'll need to reinitialize. You can't drop
individual articles, but you can drop the subscriptions then work from there.

hello

it is not possible to remove a table from running merge replication (this is
a feature in sql2005)
your only way is to reinitialize
