Bug #: 74 (SQL Hotfix)

Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2005 fixes as one downloadable file. Because the fixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2005 fix release.

SUMMARY

This article describes the following about this hotfix release:

  • The issues that are fixed by this hotfix package
  • The prerequisites for applying the hotfix package
  • Whether you must restart the computer after you apply the hotfix package
  • Whether the hotfix package is replaced by any other hotfix package
  • Whether you must make any registry changes
  • The files that are contained in the hotfix package


SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You implement a business logic handler to handle conflicting UPDATE statements during the merge replication synchronization process in Microsoft SQL Server 2005. When you implement the business logic handler, you specify that the business logic handler should use custom user data to resolve a conflict.

In this scenario, when conflicting UPDATE statements occur at both a publisher and a subscriber, the merge agent does not use custom user data to resolve the conflict. Instead, the merge agent uses the updated data at the subscriber to resolve the conflict. Additionally, no conflict row is written to the conflict tables.

This problem occurs when the custom user data is the same as the updated data at the publisher. For example, the publisher contains the following updated data:

  • "Pub1"
  • "Pub2"

The subscriber contains the following updated data:

  • "Sub1"
  • "Sub2"

When you implement the business logic handler, you specify that the business logic handler should use the following custom user data to resolve a conflict:

  • "Pub1"
  • "Custom"

After you perform a merge replication synchronization between the publisher and the subscriber, you notice that the publisher and the subscriber contain the following resolved data:

  • "Sub1"
  • "Custom"

However, you expect the publisher and the subscriber to contain the following resolved data:

  • "Pub1"
  • "Custom"
