Enabling and Disabling Replication for LOB Columns

In this document, all columns that contain large-object (LOB) datatypes are referred to as LOB columns, regardless of the actual datatype name used by the primary database vendor. By default, LOB columns within a primary table are marked for replication.

You can enable replication for each LOB column you want to replicate, in addition to marking and enabling replication for the table that contains the LOB column.

When a table is marked for replication and replication is enabled for that table but not for a LOB column in that table, any part of a transaction that affects the LOB column is not replicated. The portion of a transaction that affects all other non-LOB columns is replicated if the table is marked for replication and replication is enabled for the table.
