| Event Information | CAUSE: This error occurs when you try to add or drop a column to a merge article, but the conflict table specified in sysmergearticles for the modified article does not actually exist in the database. A variation of this problem occurs when the conflict table has a special character.
RESOLUTION: 1. Execute DBCC CHECKDB on the database with the missing conflict table to verify there are no data consistency issues. 2. If the conflict table is missing on a Subscriber, drop the subscription and recreate it. If the conflict table is missing on a Publisher, drop all subscriptions, drop the publication, and then recreate the publication and all subscriptions. |
