我可以通过某种方式从SQL Server 2012 Express复制到SQL Server 2012 Express吗？

Question

I am thinking this may not be possible as standard, but can I publish replication using SQL Server 2012 Express and subscribe with SQL Server 2012 Express? I am wanting to create a fail over between 2x VM's in an Zure Availability set.

Thanks!

Answer 1

No. SQL Server Express cannot serve as a Distributor or Publisher. SQL Server Express can only serve as a Subscriber to Transactional, Snapshot, and Merge publications. You will need an instance of at least Standard Edition or higher to create a publication.
