The rs_address special datatype
makes a unique subscription resolution technique possible: bitmaps
of the rs_address datatype (based
on the underlying int datatype) are compared
with a bitmask in a subscription’s where clause
to determine whether a row should be replicated.
Prerequisites
You must include any columns that use the
rs_address datatype
in the
searchable columns clause of the replication
definition in order to perform bitmap comparison using the
where clause.
- To use this subscription resolution method, create tables that use columns of the int datatype.
- Create a replication definition that includes these
columns in the column list, but declare the datatype as rs_address instead
of int.
