looking for help about our problem in merge replication in sql 2019.
Hi @Alfie B. Larioza ,
Any update for this thread? Did the reply could help you? If the response helped, do "Accept Answer". If it is not work, please let us know the progress.
Read the error message: Schema definition Publisher/Subscriber mismatch. The tables on both side must have the same definition.
Hi OlafHelper-2800, thank you for your response, what should i check about the same definition?
Hi @Alfie B. Larioza ,
> The Merge Agent failed because the schema of the article at the Publisher does not match the schema of the article at the Subscriber. This can occur when there are pending DDL changes waiting to be applied at the Subscriber. Restart the Merge Agent to apply the DDL changes and synchronize the subscription.
Please restart the sync process. From the client in a pull situation, or restart from the publisher in a push situation.
In short the application of DDL changes ran into a conflict but restarting the sync will usually resolve the issue. And no, it doesn't start from the beginning, it should just pick up from the point of failure.

Please check data type of values that changed in articles. Did you enter the wrong data type?
