Publication creation error.
Hi guysi am getting the following error when i create publication even though i dropped and created it again i see same error from sqlserver errorlog ,what might be the root cause.
Message
The log scan number (146:321:5) passed to log scan in database ‘testdb’ is not valid. This error may indicate data corruption or that the log file (.ldf) does not match the data file (.mdf). If this error occurred during replication, re-create the publication. Otherwise, restore from backup if the problem results in a failure during startup.

It is nothing but basically the log reader writes the last LSN read from the log into the distribution database. When you get this error it means that the LSN read does not agree with what is in the distribution database. Dropping the subscription and recreating it normally clears this error. Also check the consistency of the databases in this case. Satya SKJ
