Re: SQL 2005 Peer-To-Peer - How to configure failover (If possible)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Paul, maybe Dave will be confused with your answer. .In a p2p replication in
SQL Server 2005 each node has a full copy of the database so data is not
physically partitioned. Partitioning writes is a good idea to avoid
conflicts and problems when reading last written data but it doesn't mean
that the data is partitioned.You can also balance the writes (preventing
conflicts) with a p2p replication, not only the reads.

My two cents

Dave,
no doubt you already know this but just to clarify that in peer-to-peer
the data is partitioned, so going from one server to another for load
balancing only really refers to reads.
Anyway, there's no out-of-the box technique for swapping the connection
and establishing a heartbeat between the nodes, so it'll always be
proprietrary.
