I need to replicate the data in tables from a database running SQL 2017 to a server running SQL 2008 R2. The replication is only needed for the next 8-12 weeks and only one way from SQL 2017 -> SQL 2008 R2. I don't need real time replication, just daily. The servers run as virtual instance on the same physical server in Hyper-V. This is a membership database and is roughly 5 GB in size. There is usually less than 50 MB in data changes per day.
I know I can't use transactional replication. Can I use merge replication? What choices do i have?
I appreciate your time and answers.
