I'm learning replication (snapshot for now) and was trying filtering & got strange results. (SQL 2K sp2)
Publisher: Table1
FieldA
FieldB
FieldC
Subscriber: Table1
FieldA
FieldB
FieldC
But now, I decide after the fact to filter FieldC. The subscriber Table still has 3 fields, but the publisher data from Field 1 + 2 gets shifted across all 3 fields at the subscriber.
If I manually drop the table at the subscriber, then next time the job runs, it recreates the table with just 2 fields and looks good.
Is there some way to set replication so that it will drop & re-create the subscriber table automatically if the filter changes ? Or am I missing something else in my understanding ?
Under "Default Table Article Properties - Snapshot" the option "DROP the existing table & recreate it" is checked. When does that apply ?? Just when first set up ?
Any enlightenment is appreciated.
