  • Yeah It is Transactional replication:-)

  • With replication the log reader reads through the tran log looking for transactions that are marked 'for replication'. When it finds those, it sends them to the distributor where they are temporarily stored before being sent to the subscriber.

    With log shipping, transaction log backup files (same as created via BACKUP LOG) are sent to the standby server and restored.

  • same again.

    Log shipping happens at whole database level.. no option to select objects.

    Transaction replication facilitates you to select objects and filter the data.
