Replication ffrom 2005 to 2000

  • First of all, thank you ahead of time for your answers.

    Here is the question:

    Can I replicate from SQL 2005 to SQL 2000? Just regular transactional, nothing fancy and very straight forward. I have not try it yet as the question was raised right before I left the office. Will do some research, but wanted to run it through SQL Sever Central first.

  • Replicating from 2005 to 2000 will work OK. There is a general rule for replication that you need to use...the distributor needs to be the highest version/sp for all of the SQL instances in that are involved with replication. In your case, this means that the distributor needs to be SQL 2005.

  • Thanks, it will be in 2005. One of the subscriber is not company own and they don't have plans to upgrade soon. Your answer and some research I have done since I posted, will allow me to move forward as planned. Thank you
