SQL 2012 replicaiton question

  • Hello all,

    Have a question about replication and if a database can be both a publisher and subscriber at the same time?

    Here is a generic layout.

    publisher A publishes to

    subscriber b,

    subscriber c,

    subscriber d,

    subscriber e and,

    subscriber f who is a publisher to

    subscriber g,

    subscriber h,

    subscriber I and,

    subscriber j

    I want to know if this is possible. All transaction publications

    Thank you

  • Are you planning to publish same articles across the all subscribers databases/servers?

  • Yes, you can use replication to "double hop" articles. This will add some additional complexities when modifying the topology but nothing too complicated.

    Update-able subscriptions don't fully support this. The update will only propagate one level.

    What kind of replication do you intend to implement?

  • It will be straight transaction read-only for the subscribers. The replication is already setup in our old domain, and we are moving to a new domain. Instead of ripping out all of the replication, I figure use the old replication that is working, and build out the new world
