Snapshot Replication

  • All,

    We have a need to replicate data from server prod, to dev, daily. Both servers are running Windows server 2003 and SQL 2005. The prod database is 100 GB with approximately 4,000 tables. I do not need to replicate views, sp etc.

    I am thinking of configuring snapshot replication. on prod, I would have the publisher and distributor, and on dev I would have a subscriber which would pull once a day at night, from the publisher.

    Is snapshot replication the best approach to accomplish this?

    Thank you for your input.

    Andre

  • Just my input for your reference.

    I would like to say, snapshot is not a good candidate. You can use export data to your target server by selecting desired objects. Replication is harder to maintain than other approaches.
