Re: compensate_for_errors

This controls what happens when there is a conflict. With compensate for
errors =true (default for SQL 2000), a conflict loser will have their data
replaced by teh conflict winner. With it false the conflict will merely be
logged, but the winning data will not replace the loosing data.

Sorry for the battery of questions.

Are there any risks or complications from changing an article with
compensate_for_errors = false?

Does it force any reinitialization of subs?

Does it grow the msmerge_contents/tomb tables much?

I am guessing this will add some conflicts to manage. Is there a more
elegant, t-sql way to check and remove conflicts ie not one at a time.

Will the conflicts keep clearing out automatically with a new snapshot
generation?

SQL2K sp4 , merge pubs/dist with 50 msde sp4 anon pull subs.


Thanks in advance !!
