Replication over large transactions/ articles sql 2005

  • hello;

    I have so many tables 1000s to replicate from sql 2005 to sql 2005; at least 50,000 transactions/ minute; still replication is a good solution? Some tables are about 40GB, and 30GB; still replication good solution? How to add just one article and subscribe that one article without reinit all? Thanks for your helps;

  • 833.33 trasactions/sec is respectable if sustained.

    Replication can handle it if correctly configured so that distribution does not becomes a bottleneck

    I have replicated Billion+ row tables without problem but it is all about planning.

    You can add an article ( a table ) then run snapshot job and it should generate the snapshot data for only that table not all of them.

    Thanks for your reply; your reply me a confidence; I will tune distributor; I am doing a pull down trans. repl; Distri. to subs. takes a long time; 7hrs to 8hrs; I am new to repl; I am using all defualt config;

    Here are a couple of hints:

    - Try to setup a "separate" distributor if you suspect IO limitations on the Publisher

    - Increase the CommitBatchSize at least one order of magnitude for the distribution agent.

    - For BULK changes you can use stored procedure replication.

    Hope it helps
