Have a weird problem at a client - 2 sites are doing transactional replication to a 3rd. The table on site 1 and 3 has the same columns in the same order, the 2nd site has the same columns in a different order. Filter is used so that
when a site resnapshots the common target the target data is deleted using the filter and then the snapshot does the BCP to the target.
Not too surprisingly the site 2 snapshot application is failing with a fieldsize error - most likely because it is trying to insert the wrong data in the wrong field.
Anyone know of a clever way around this other than fixing the column order on site 2?
Sources are 2012 and target is 2005 if that matters
