mix several replication types within DB

  • hello,

    is it possible to have several replication types within the same database?

    for example, for two tables i want "merge replication" with a central server, where twice a day data is merged?

    and for three other tables, i want "transactional replication" with a central server, where data is immediately inserted?

    thanks

  • The answer is yes, but you should really get some books on SQL replication or some help with what you are doing.  I can think of a few things that could make this a very slippery slope for you.

    Your question suggests you need some expertise to help you understand what you are doing and make sure this is really the correct approach.

     

  • the problem is:

    - i have a book "Beginning Sql Server 2005 Programming" from "Wrox", but there is nothing about replication in it.

    - at our office there's a book "Programming SQL Server 2005" from o'reilly with very little information about replication. everything in that chapter goes via a c# programming (and i need to do it directly on the database).

    - the online sql server 2005 tutorial contains a lot useful information, but it's so difficult to read an html manual (in almost each sentence there's a link to something else).

    can you recommend me some useful books?

    - a book "replication for dummies"

    - and a book "replication advanced".

    or some useful websites maybe?

    - for dummies

    - advanced information

    now, don't think that i have no sql server experience. in contradiction, i'm already working 4 years with it, but on replication i'm new.

  • There is nothing wrong with using different types of replication within the same database. I use all forms in my environment and we even have a database that is a subscriber to merge and a publisher for transactional replication.
