If I have database A, and database B. Database B has existing data… Database A is empty.
If I turn on replication, with Database A being the publisher, and Database B being the subscriber … will the exisiting data within Database B be deleted? Or will the data remain in Database B, and any new data added to Database A be replicated to B.
I’m thinking when you create the replication, the entire database B would be overwritten with database A data.
Is that right?
From my experience, a subscriber will obtain the new data from the publisher. You will not be able to create a subscriber and simply append to database B. You may need to consider a different process. The Merge keyword could be an option. merge (MSDN)
