We have a bunch of 2000-based partitioned views. The beauty of partitioned view is that when we reinitialize, i.e. it something gets out of sync between pub and subs, we can just replicate over the most recent table. This is critical for us because we have some monster view containing over a billion rows, 30+ tables and over half a terabyte in size.
Now we about to migrate to SS 2012 (from 2005 actually) and I'd like to get rid of the above and go to the new table partitioning of course. However, I must be able to reinitialize and I need to be able to reinitialize only the latest partition.
Is there a way to do this, i.e. to reinitialize only one partition?
(I asked this on another board, but got no answer and then realized I need to ask it in the replication forum.)
