We are looking to replace SQL SERVER replication.
Today we've got several version on SQL installations because SQL replication does not support working with different SQL versions (2005 and 2008 for example), so instead of having several installation of SQL version (2005,2008,2012 etc...), we are looking install a single version on the server (let's say 2014) and using this version to replicate between all our clients (2005+).
Today we are using transnational and merge replication at the same time for each database.
I would like to know:
- Is there a way to make different version replicate with each other?
- Is there and good tool that can replace that replication?
