ConflictPolicy Property

Long integer that specifies a SQLDMO_CONFLICTPOLICY_TYPE constant as described in Settings

Type

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetConflictPolicy(SQLDMO_CONFLICTPOLICY_TYPE *pRetVal);

HRESULT SetConflictPolicy(SQLDMO_CONFLICTPOLICY_TYPE NewValue);

Settings

Set the ConflictPolicy property using these values.

Constant Value Description
SQLDMOConflictPolicy_PublisherWin 1 Publisher wins the conflict
SQLDMOConflictPolicy_ReinitSubscription 3 Reinitialize the subscription
SQLDMOConflictPolicy_SubscriberWin 2 Subscriber wins the conflict

Remarks

Unlike merge replication, transactional replication does not use a conflict resolver to determine how conflicts that occur during a queued-transaction operation are resolved. Use a SQLDMO_CONFLICTPOLICY_TYPE constant setting to specify that changes made at either the Publisher or Subscriber prevail, or that the subscription must be reinitialized if a conflict occurs.

The default setting is SQLDMOConflictPolicy_PublisherWin.

Note  If an application calls ConflictPolicy on an instance of Microsoft® SQL Server™ version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
