Hi there all.
I'm trying to install transactional replication between two DBs in the
same SQL server instance. This is for only one table.
The source and target tables have the same schema in the first 13
columns that participate in the replication. I use a row filter based
on a datetime column.
I keep getting the above error message when I start the snapshot agent
for the initial shapshot. I can't figure out what it is.
Anybody has any ideas?
Thank you all in advance
George
do you have different schemas on publisher vs subscriber (inc collation)?
If they are identical, are the collations different in the databases?
sp_helpsort for the server, but you need to check the database one :
SELECT DATABASEPROPERTYEX('yourdbname', 'Collation')
