This article covers how to build the snapshot subscription without getting bogged down in too many low level details. You'll learn enough here to get started experimenting and get results. Depending on comments from you, we may ask Andy to move on to transactional replication or to dig deeper into snapshot options. Tell us what you think!

This white paper was written by Alain Dumas, founder of Sunopis. Looks interesting. Looks like they sell a tool that does ETL, replication, data cleaning, and more. We haven't reviewed the product, just thought it was something that might be of interest to our readers

There are times that you may find yourself on a project where you have one data source and need to publish to many subscribing databases. Often times, Replication is not looked at as a viable solution to achieving this goal. For this project, Demico and Lynn will demonstrate the way we utilized the Horizontal and Vertical partitioning capabilities that Microsoft has added to the Replication utility.

Now that Andy has converted Steve Jones to a DMO believer we asked him to spend some time discussing replication. In this kick off article he discussion snapshot replication at a very high level - and looking for reasons to use it. This article isn't about how to do snapshot replication, it's about whether you should.

How about getting the data when the table data is first queried? The following script checks to see if the specified table (@MyTable) has been updated today. If so, just return the data found. If not, then get the data from a "fresher source". Great for ASP that performs table reporting and needs "baked daily" […]

Last year Andy wrote about turning off the log reader as a way to reduce the overhead on a server, primarily when you have many logreaders running. In this follow up article he talks about the downside of using this technique and how the behavior of the logreader can be "tweaked" to make using non-continuous replication a little less of a headache.

I have some data in a SQL Server 2025 database. It looks like this for the dbo.Customer table:
CustomerID CustomerName PreferredName 1 Steve Steve 2 Andy Andy 3 Brian Brian 4 Allan Allan 5 Devin Devin 6 Steve Steve 7 Sally SallyI want to detect which names have a single trailing space. The CustomerName is a varchar() and the PreferredName is a CHAR(). Does this query detect the problem rows?
SELECT
CustomerID,
CustomerName,
PreferredName
FROM Customer
WHERE CustomerName <> RTRIM(CustomerName)
OR PreferredName <> RTRIM(PreferredName); See possible answers
