SQL 2000 to PostgreSQL 9.3 Replication of Large Number of Tables

[Kido Kouassi <jjkido@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Admin,

I am setting up a replication from a database on MS SQL 2000 that has 200+ tables to a database on  PostgreSQL 9.3.

The replication works when I try replicating tables one at the time.

When replicating multiple tables though,  sometimes it works
Sometimes it doesn't.

When it doesn't Work,  the replication Log in MS SQL will have the following error:

Bulk copying data into table 'Tablex'
OLE DB Subscriber 'PG1': SELECT * FROM "Tablex" WHERE 0 = 1
[2/4/2014 12:18:42 PM]SQL01.distribution: {call sp_MSadd_distribution_history(71, 3,  ?, ?, 0, 0, 0.00, 0x00, 1, ?, 0, 0x01, 0x00)}
Agent message code 21044. The number of columns in the bcp file does not match that of the destination table.

ErrorText = 'SELECT * FROM "Tablex" WHERE 0 = 1'
[2/4/2014 12:18:42 PM]SQL01.distribution: {call sp_MSadd_repl_error(39, 0,  1, ?, N'', ?)}

the funny thing is that when I set up a replication with only the failing table, it works and another table becomes problematic.

I have one set with 18 table that works perfectly.

Another table with 15 is failing.

The Ideal would be to replicate All the tables in one set but this option is failing to.

Did anybody ever run into something similar.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thank You,
