We are planning to use SQL Merge Replication for our Point of Sales System.
Below chart simply shows our Point of Sales hierarchy. All levels have their own SQL Server instances.
- If we use Branch 1 (for example) as a publisher, what will be the maximum number of subscribers (terminals) can have?
- Can we configure merge replication between Branch 1 and its terminals(T1, T2, T3..) with existing data(exactly same data) in both Branch 1 and Terminal databases?
- If we already configured Branch 1 (for example) as a publisher and terminals as subscribers (eg : to distribute Order Table) , Can we configure Main Server as publisher and Branch 1 as subscriber for Order table?
