Microsoft® SQL Server™ enables third-party products to become Publishers within the SQL Server replication framework. The Replication Distributor Interface allows replication from heterogeneous databases that provide 32-bit OLE DB drivers to Subscribers running SQL Server 2000. Heterogeneous data sources include:
* Oracle databases
* DB2 databases
* Microsoft Access databases
* Other databases that comply with SQL Server ODBC or OLE DB Subscriber requirements

When transactional replication is used for high availability purposes, such as if you want the applications to access the replicated server when the primary database server fails, one of the hurdles SQL Server database administrators face when configuring replication is tables with identity columns.
In this article, I am going to discuss how to customize the replication in order to make the subscription database look identical to the publishing database, so that when there is a failure in the primary server, it is simple to fail over to the subscription database.

I have some data in a SQL Server 2025 database. It looks like this for the dbo.Customer table:
CustomerID CustomerName PreferredName 1 Steve Steve 2 Andy Andy 3 Brian Brian 4 Allan Allan 5 Devin Devin 6 Steve Steve 7 Sally SallyI want to detect which names have a single trailing space. The CustomerName is a varchar() and the PreferredName is a CHAR(). Does this query detect the problem rows?
SELECT
CustomerID,
CustomerName,
PreferredName
FROM Customer
WHERE CustomerName <> RTRIM(CustomerName)
OR PreferredName <> RTRIM(PreferredName); See possible answers
