Guys,
i am a bit confused here after a month of testing.
Scenario:
Primary SQL server 2008 in location A, act as publisher configured for Transactional Replication
Subscriber SQL server 2008 in location B, act as subscriber.
Everything is working and replication is working, however when we test disaster recovery scenario, we took a snapshot of the DB on subscriber, restore it as a new DB and pointed our application to it, this is where things went south.
Application has errors left and right on primary and foreign key constrains.
My questions is: is there a way to avoid this? or is my path to this scenario completely off base? My goal is to have a read only subscriber untill primary site dies, that's where we simply shift applications to the stand by location and things should work. (at least that works in mYsql world).
please let me know your experiences and point me in the right direction.
thanks!
