If you disable CDC and then re-enable, then you lose existing CDC tables that tracked changes up to the point of disabling CDC. How can you disable future CDC but keep already tracked data?

Dog there is one more flaw in CDC. If you try to update primary key of the source table which is being cdc-ed then it gets published as delete and insert and not just the update in to that cdc table. I’ve contacted Microsoft about this and they said it’s by “DESIGN”!
