ABout identity column in replication

Hi Guys,
I read the microsoft article about how to handle the identity column in
replication. There is sentence: " If you are using transactional replication
with the immediate-updating Subscribers option, do not use the IDENTITY NOT
FOR REPLICATION design." That means I can not use the IDENTITY NOT FOR
REPLICATION option when I want to use transactional replication with the
immediate-updating Subscribers options, is that correct? That also means I
cannot created identity column in subscriber, right? If I do need to create
identity column in the subscriber, how can I work around? Thanks
This isn't correct. If you have immediate updating you don't need NFR as the
transaction is applied on the publisher before the subscriber.
You can use NFR and identity columns on the subscriber, however, but it is
not necessary.

About Identity Column

Dear all,
I use the identity property that makes generating unique numeric
values in my table "OrderDetail". Its primary keys include the column
"OrderHeaderNo" and the identity column. It's fine up to now. But I wonder
that if the application keep going to use for many years. Is it possible the
identity value will be overflowed? or it will restart from 1 again
automatically after the overflow. And now, i make this column type is "Int".
Anyone can help? Thanks.
Best Rdgs
EllisYou'll get an overflow when the identity value exceeds the maximum value for
the data type If this is a possibility in your situation, consider using a
data type with a larger maximum value, such as bigint or decimal.
Hope this helps.
