The insert failed. It conflicted with an identity range check constraint in database

Question

Hi I know this has been posted before but the suggested fixes dont work for me. I have a newly created publication I have the Publisher range size set to 10000 and the subscriber range set to 10000. I have set the Range threshold percentage to 50.

However when I insert 7000 rows I get the error The insert failed. It conflicted with an identity range check constraint in database

Can anyone give me any pointers as to how to resolve this.

Answer 1

try inserting 2-4 thousand records at a time - that is the cleanest way to do it.

Otherwise you need to start changing range sizes, threshold percentages and possibly manually forcing a new address range (which will waste identities).
