We have a table that is giving us a query timeout whenever you try to update it through the application or the SQL editor we can however we can update it through query analyser but it can take up to 60 seconds, it should also be noted that the table has merge replication setup on it. When we do a backup and restore (restore as different name) of the same database in the same environment and add merge replication we are able to update the table with no problems. We don’t want o take down the live database as we have 167 subscribers that will be affected. Any help would be greatly appreciated?
