Stairway to SQL Server Replication
SQL Replication can solve many problems in running database-driven applications. The publication/subscriber model isn't completely easy to understand, the complexities of scripting and monitoring replication systems takes some thought. Here, at last, is a series of articles that takes care to produce a jargon-free approach to SQL Server Replication of all types.
- In this Stairway, Sebastian will be covering the details of SQL Server transactional and merge replication, from understanding the basic terminology and methodology of setting up replication, to describing how it works and how the basic replication processes can be monitored.

- The Publisher is the database where all
replicated data originates. Each Publisher can have multiple publications
defined within it. Each publication contains a set of articles that all need to
reside in a single database. Each article corresponds to all or part of a single
database object. A single database object can map to an article in more than one
publication.
- The Subscriber is the server where all the changes that are published by replication get delivered to. Every publication needs to have at least one subscriber, but a publication can have many subscribers. This level assumes that you have followed the first three levels and that you have a publication set up, to which you can subscribe.

- How merge replication works, including the impact on the published database. The merge agent, different conflict situations and their resolutions are introduced.
- Introducing the replication monitor and how to use it to monitor replication health. It also introduces tracer tokens.
- The final level of this Stairway takes you through how to identify and fix common errors.
