SQL 2005 Standard Replication to remote SQL 2008R2 Express

  • Hi

    Can anyone point me in the right direction for any info on replicating SQL 2005 standard data on my desktop pc and publishing the data to my VPS which has SQL2008R2 Express installed.

    As all examples i have seen just involve replicating data from local to local db's

    Thanks

    I understant that because Express Edition does not includes SQL Server Agent the main problem would be on that side - anyway you can use task scheduler to run an RMO program.

  • Hi PaulB

    Is that Replication Management Objects Concepts?

    Also would it be possible to install sql 2005 onto my VPS server from my desktop, if so how would i go about doing that?

    Regards

    1- Yes.

    2- VPS is nothing but a virtual machine running in a hosting facility therefore - provided that your hosting service provider allows for it and you have the credentials and needed license you can install SS2K5 there.

    During SQL Server installation, setup program - running on your desktop - will ask for "Computer Name", default is "Local Computer" (or something similar), you have to type in the name of the remote computer or browse for it then just install as you normally do.
