Hi everyone,

I am not familiar with SQL express. Will it work if I setup publisher/distributor on SQL express and replicate data to exterprise version?

Thank you in advance.

Yes but SQL express has to subscribers. It's not a good idea to replicate from SQL enterprise to Express.

As SQL express has to be subscriber, there is no way I can replicate data from express to enterprise.

Thanks

SQL express has to be subscribers in transactional replication. Which type of replication do you like to use?

You cannot configure SSE as a Publisher or Distributor for any type of replication. However, SSE can be a Subscriber, and merge replication allows changes to be replicated in both directions between a Publisher and Subscriber.

Have to have web synchronizer as there is no SQL server agent in SQl Express.
