SQL Server Replication
I can remember several years ago every time someone mentioned SQL Server replication you would hear a dull groan. It is one of those things that certainly has some barriers to entry to learn how it works and what you need to do to keep it running. Not me, I get excited about working with replication. I work with several clients using replication some who replicate a single database to another server, and others who have several databases and several servers in replication, and one that has several databases with many SQL Servers being replicated.
SQL Server replication was introduced in the mid 1990’s, and has not changed too much. I would say the biggest changes were introduced in SQL Server 2005 with the introduction of SQL Server Management Studio.
