Merge Replication limit of 6000 bytes?

sql server replication: Hi,

We are thinking of using SQL 2005 Merge Replication. Some of our
tables can possibly have larger rowsize as they have NTEXT columns
which will be populated with a lot of data.

How do we get around the limitation?
Does Repliation completely fail in such a situation?
Is there a way to let replication continue if we are sure that there
will not be conflicts in the large columns?

Thanks,
Yash

This does not apply to text, image, varchar(max) columns.

Microsoft recommends you use the @stream_blob_columns parameter with a
value of true.

Hi,

Does this mean that regardless of the size of the TEXT, VARCHAR(max)
columns, the replication will still happen?

Thanks,
Yash

No, you are limited by available memory.
