Well, barium sulfate is pretty insoluble stuff in aqueous solution.....

Explanation:

And so we gots....

Ba2++SO24BaSO4(s)

...as the net ionic equation.

The magnesium and nitrate ions are along for the ride.....and stay in solution.

The complete metathesis reaction is....

Ba(NO3)2(aq)+MgSO4(aq)BaSO4(s)+Mg(NO3)2(aq)
