Hi all,
I see from the feature comparison chart that SQL Server Express supports MERGE replication as subscriber only. We're setting up a new app and some systems need to be able to work from the local db so we are currently thinking of SQL Server Standard or Business available via VPN, and Express on the workstations / laptops that might be disconnected occasionally. If I understand correctly a subscriber will receive writes if the publisher is accessible and it does so by sending the writes to the publisher which then is replicated back to the client.
Is there a feature that will allow the changes to the local and perform the replication tasks when the publisher once again becomes available?
TIA
Mike
