I've been thrown into a project where this business partner is pushing for transactional replication from our sql server to their sql server (which are on the same network/domain) for records from "just one table" in a database. I asked him if sending a remote query (linked server etc.) could satisfy his need and they are refusing to even consider it. I've explained that there have been improvements made to linked servers & if due diligence is practiced, linked servers can perform well and personally I see linked servers used all the time.



Thoughts? Other ideas? Scalability concerns? Enterprise Edition is being used on fairly robust servers.



I just feel that my people shouldn't have to be burdened with maintaining any replication that is put in place on something that I feel is simple. Unless SELECT * is all they code then... maybe t-repl is what is needed...

  • how big is the table and how stale the data can be ? Are there any frequent changes done to schema e.g. adding new columns etc ?

    Ask them if they're going to support Replication once it's set up.

  • 7.5 million rows on the main table & it needs to be "near-real time". There shouldn't be any schema changes. Then they say they need to "fan out" the data when it reaches their server, whatever that means & they don't even really have what they need defined so this is crazy.

  • "they don't even really have what they need defined" - our problem is the same as yours. I'd push back to get some formal requirements written up, at least, before looking into options.
