My subscriber databases mdf is growing huge.

    My subscriber database file, taking part in transactional replication, is growing to many times the size of the publication database it is subscribing to. I am on 2008 R2 and this never happened on SQL 2005, and yes I am using exactly the same scripts.

    Can anyone give me some advice?

    Edit: Just for clarification, this is the mdf file not the ldf.

    That is strange. I might set up a trace that logs activity to see what is happening here.

    Do you do any index maintenance on the subscriber side? If not, page and extent splits may be the cause.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
