secondary DB for reporting , which is the best solution ?

  • Hello .

    I have a prod server running SQL 2012 Standard which host our DB which is about 50 GB . We have enabled logshipping on a secondary sever which is in another region . Now we need to implement reporting solution for which we need to have another copy of DB . I can't implement transactional replication since it works only for tables with primary keys . Merge replication is also out of question.DB mirroring is also out of question.i do not want the logshipped DB to be used for reporting.

    Could you please tell me the best strategy to implement the reporting on secondary server ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Quick question, can you outline the requirements for the reporting instance, i.e. sync latency etc.?

    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.
