I don't know much about transactional replication and we're going to implement this soon on a SQL Server 2008 Standard server. I'd heard that you can't create a snapshot in SQL 2008 Standard. Is this correct? It seems like it must be since replication is supported in all editions of SQL 2008. Any info is greatly appreciated!

Transactional replication indeed starts with a db snapshot, even in Std edition, after which subsequent changes at the publisher are monitored for near real time transfer to the subscriber(s)

Aha, database snapshot is not related to snapshots in Sql svr replication. Database snapshot, an enterprise feature, simply gives you a read only clone of your DB the way it looked at a point in time. Snapshots in replication is handled by the sql svr snapshot agent and it just takes a 'snapshot' of objects to be published before the other repl events take over.

Hence why i asked the OP if they were referring to database snapshots as this is where the restriction between Ent and Std lies

Thank you both for your replies! I thought that database snapshots might be the same as the snapshots used for replication but wasn't sure. Can the snapshot for replication be made by the replication wizard.

You're welcome. I guessed that's where you were getting confused.

When you setp through the wizard there is an option to have the agent generate the snapshot immediately or later. Go through this first in your test system to ensure you're comfortable with the steps

Thanks, Perry, I appreciate the help! I'm going to have to do a lot of reading and testing on this... Off to work!
