Multiple subscribers in replication

  • Can we have multiple subscribers with same database on same server in replication?Do we have any performance issues with this?

  • It's possible.  Of course there is definitely some performace penalty you will get with it.  It all depends on how big the databases and what type of replication you have set up.  Small database with snapshot replication not too bad. But big database with heavy transactions and transactional replication can be.  Make sure the server has enough hardware to support.

  • Thanks for response Bulent.

    Even I taught so but one of my peer argues that it will improve performance if we have 2 subscribers on same server on same database and replicating different sets of tables in transactional replication.

  • I would implement another physical distributor with pull subscription set up if you're concerned about the performance.  That way another instance of sql server running on completely different server and pull subcription from the subscriber.

    Good day...
