Dears,
We are replicating SQL server 2005 data between one site and the main DB. whenever the replication stops or got courrpted usually we have to reinitialize the publishers from the site which means that we have to delete all the previous data from the main DB prior to uploading the site data backdated. this works fine although it is not practical since it consumes a lot of time and it affects the systems performance (data size might reach 100 GB). my question is :
1. Is it possible to start uploading the site data to the main DB from the point where it stopped without uploading all the data backdate ?
2. How can we avoid the violation of primary key conflict which is caused from being sending the same records from the DB site to the main DB without deleting the main DB previously replicated records?
