Replication is a way for geographically distributing your data. This provides a way to copy and distribute data and objects from one database to others and keeping them synchronized.
The benefits are increased availibility, load balancing and supporting remote clients.
The tools provided in SQL Server 2005 to support replication are as follows:
1- SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
2- SQL Server Replication Monitor (SSRM)
3- T-SQL replication stored procedures and RMO(s) Replication Management Objects.
There are three types of replication in SQL Server 2005.
1- Snapshot replication
2- Transactional replication
3- Merge Replication
There are different terminlogies which are necessary to discuss:
1- Article: This is the most basic unit of replication. It can be a table, view, etc.
2- Publication: This is a group of articles from the same database.
There are three roles which a server can play for replication. They are:
1- Publisher
2- Distributor
3- Subscriber
With SQL Server 2005, Microsoft did many changes to its replication technology.
like MOdifications in Replication Security agent. So if you have your replication scripts in SQL Server 2000 and you want to install SQL Server 2005 in your environment, update security settings.
