I am using merge replication with SQL 2012.
We have a performance issue with precomputed partitions. We tried turning it off, but the second sync took about 5 minutes even though there were just a couple of changes.
We then tried to turn on the 'Optimize Synchronization' option, which makes the second sync just a few seconds.
But the problem was when we tried to delete a record at the publisher. The delete didn't propogate to the subscriber. Is this expected, and is there a workaround?
