Might I inquire as to what you are trying to do? Maybe there is another solution if you can't find that table.

Michael, i am trying to understand the procedure used by SQL server to issue unique identity range to each subscribers and publisher while using merge replication.

As per microsofts documentation, unique block of numbers are assigned to publishers and subscribers.

I have a scenario where 1-10 numbers are assigned at publisher and then the blocks of 5 numbers are assigned to subsequent subscribers. So referring back to microsoft documentation in the above scenario

Publisher should get 1-10
Subscribers1 should get 11-15
Subscribers2 should get 16-20
and so on...

but in reality when i try and do it... it works out to ..
Publisher getting 1-20
Subscribers1 get 21-25
Subscribers2 get 25-30

So what i m trying to figure out is the extra 10 numbers issued by sql server at the publisher. So do you have any idea, why that extra numbers are being allocated at the publisher ???

Thanking in anticipation
