I have a merge publication (sql server 2008 r2) setup on my publisher. I replicate to republishers and then to a local database running on each end users computer. Something recently happened and all the subscriptions to my main publication
at the publisher are erroring out or being blocked. I am wondering if it would be easier just to drop my publication and recreate it (with all the subscriptions for the republishers). At the end user side they are adding lots of data currently
and I cannot have any data loss. Would dropping the publication (or even dropping the subscriptions and recreating them) cause any data loss for the end user? I know if I reinitialize a subscription it will initialize the database from the
current snapshot. So after that would run my republisher would look identical to my main publisher. But would all the deltas at the end user still get pushed to the republisher (and then get pushed to the main publisher)?
