Monica Rathbun walks us through a replication error:
Ever seen the below error? Until this week I hadn’t. So, I figured I’d take a little time and introduce it to those that had not.
Error Description: Length of LOB data (65754) to be replicated exceeds configured maximum 65536. Use the stored procedure sp_configure to increase the configured maximum value for max text repl size option, which defaults to 65536. A configured value of -1 indicates no limit
We ran into an issue with a customer this week, this error was flooding the error log. After a little digging I found it had to do with transactional replication (also applies to Change Data Capture) they had setup which included LOB data.
Read on to see what you can do to resolve this error. Also, check out the comments and be glad you’re not in that boat…unless you are, in which case…
