FIX: INSERT or DELETE statements are replicated to the wrong table partition in SQL Server 2008 R2 if you run an ALTER TABLE statement that contains the SWITCH PARTITION command

Article ID: 2585885 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a transactional publication in which a table is published in a SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
  • You create a subscription to this transactional publication.
  • You run INSERT or DELETE statements against the published table.
  • You run an ALTER TABLE statement that contains a SWITCH PARTITION command on the published table.
In this scenario, the INSERT or DELETE statements incorrectly run against the new partitioned table on the subscriber. Therefore, the statements do not run against the same table on the subscriber as they did on the publisher as expected.

Note The new partitioned table was created by the SWITCH PARTITION command.
