Transactional Replication SQl Server DB Question

  • Hey Everyone

    Just a quick question,I currently have SQL Server Transactional replication running. Server A (Publisher & Distributor) to Server B (Subscriber).Everything is working great. I just need to know whether i can add a table to the subscriber only in that database? will it affect my replication? must the databases be the exact same in terms of schema etc?

    I need to add a table thats not part of the published articles on Server B(Subscriber).

    Thanks

  • This is not an uncommon scenario, and you can this with no issues.

    Where you run into issues is when you modify the replicated objects in the subscriber database.

    A good example is when we had this well meaning junior DBA add all of the possible foreign key constraints to the subscriber database. Replication started breaking.

    If you assassinate a DBA, would you pull a trigger?
