Interesting question. I thought it worked for all models, but ir's so long since I last looked at replication that I thought I might be wrong, so checked in MSDN. The page I checked was The Transaction Log, which seems to say that log records are retained until the data has been replicated only in full recovery model, which seems to me to imply that transactional replication will not work in either simple or bulk-logged model, so (thinking that MSDN was more likely to have that right than my memory) I picked that answer - the wrongest one of the three.

Is that page wrong, or do the other recovery models have some method of delaying the discard of log records pending replication other than by setting log_reuse_wait to 6 in the affected records? Or perhaps in this question "replication works" means "snapshot replication works" (snapshot uses value 7, not value 6, to delay truncation)?
