sql server replication: I am trying to understand something I read in

Want to replicate several OLTPish databases from 2000 to
2000. I assume I want transaction replication. I trying to
understand one of the consiferations regarding text
fields. I have read the following on technet:

INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements at the Publisher on
text and image columns are supported with no special
considerations. However, these columns cannot be updated
by Subscribers that use snapshot replication or
transactional replication and immediate updating or queued
updating subscriptions.


What does "without consideration" mean. The subscriber
will not be performing updates. Does that mean that I can
replicate without any special consideration or do I need
to rewrite all the stored procs that write and update the
text fields?

Yes, you are correct. You can update text and image
fields with no worries, although you may have to adjust
the 'max text repl size' parameter for the size of your
text or image rows. Use sp_configure to do this.

replication ?

its all on the job. I have opened a fair number of
incidents with PSS, so I get to pick their brains.

I also get teched and PDC presentations on replication on
cassetts from mobiltape.com. You can get recent
presentations from http://microsoft.sitestream.com.

Answering questions also helps me to understand the
product as well.
