FIX: Dynamic Filtered Tables Do Not Replicate Data From Joined Tables to SQL Server CE Subscribers (293761)

SYMPTOMS

When two tables are published that meet the following conditions:

Table1 has a dynamic subset filter.
Table2 is joined to Table1 using a join filter.

Updates to the filtered table do not cause the corresponding records in the other table to be replicated to the Microsoft SQL Server CE subscribers. This problem does not occur with SQL Server subscribers.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for SQL Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION

An example follows that shows the result you want to obtain.

For this example, assume that you are working with two tables, table1 and table2.

The first table, table1, has a dynamic filter on the MyFilterCol column and contains the following data:
```
MyNum  MyFilterCol
------------------

1      Test1
2      Test2
					
```

The second table, table2, has this data:

MyNum  MyString
---------------

1      One
2      Two

and is joined by the following JOIN filter clause:

SELECT <published_columns> FROM [dbo].[Table1] INNER JOIN 
[dbo].[Table2] ON table1.MyNum = table2.MyNum

Subscribe through SQL Server CE, and pass Hostname = "Test1". The initial synchronization shows that the two tables have the proper data.

Now, run this update statement:

UPDATE Table1 SET MyFilterCol = 'Test1' WHERE MyNum = "2"

When you run the Merge agent, you expect this result:

MyNum		MyString						
------------------------

1		one						
2		two

However, the result looks like this instead:

MyNum		MyString			
------------------------
				
1		one

The second row should be replicated to the subscriber.
