replication

  • Hi all,

    i want to know one thing about replication...

    my question is

    In transactional replication if we add one new coloumn in a table at publisher.than will the result be reflected at subscriber ?

    or the replication will stop working ????

    Regards

  • Yes,it is possible to replicate the column changes.

    Right click on Publisher -->click on properties

    In property window,choose the Subscription option then make Replicate schema changes -->True

  • Thanks alot for ur valuable advice...

  • If you have replication running for a particular table (making it an article) you need to make schema changes through the replication UI. If you try to make a change through Management Studio you will get an error.

    Most schema changes replicate well, but you should read the books online topics about transactional replication and schema changes because there are some tricky parts.

  • Most of your schema changes will be forwarded to a subscriber automatically. You do not need to bring down replication or even create a new subscription. Some of the changes will be replicated only after running a new snapshot (in my case we do not run it at all because of customizations), but there are exceptions, like adding indexes will not be replicated automatically.
