Hi All,
We're experiencing a weird phenomenon with identity range management presently and wondered if anyone had any ideas on why it's happening and how to fix.
We are using Merge Replication and 5 subscribers.
When we look at the table that holds the identity ranges (i.e. range_begin, range_end, next_range_start and next_range_end) we see that there appears to be a big gap in the middle of the identity range on the constraint.
This is an example of what I mean...
([ID]>(13018108) AND [ID]<=(13118108) OR [ID]>(16818108) AND [ID]<=(16918108))
Anyone any ideas as to what caused this?
I understood that the primary and secondary ranges where allocated thus.
A --> B and B --> C
and not...
A -- B and X--> Y
If you see what I mean...
Warm Regards,
Nigel.
