Hi All,
we have live database on one SQL instance, and setup the transactional replication DB on the other instance. After the setting, we did purge live database daily, so replication DB keeps all historical data and live DB only keeps 70 days data. We had some replica issues before, because live and replica DBs are not identical, we had to rename the current replica DB to a new name, resetup replication again. But problem is that, we have 2 replication DBs, one is old replica (when replica was broken), the other is current replica (resetup from live DB), and customers have to choose which replica DBs they will search.
I just wonder if there is anyway to still setup one replica DB when replica was broken and live DB was purged?
Thanks
David
