General Replication question alien2_51

sql server replication: Can I setup transactional replication up in which the publisher and
subscriber are on the same server...? The problem we're trying to solve is
we have a set of tables that are very large, we have a front end in which
the user can define an ad-hoc query to run against these tables, to improve
performance we decided we would only have a subset of the data contained in
the master tables in another set of tables, only about 6 months worth of
data in the other tables the query will point too, we want to use
replication to provide real time updates to the query tables... Can this be
done..?

TIA

Dan

yes it can be done, in fact it is an ideal use of transactional replicaiton.

Dan,
actually this is the easiest way to set up replication, as you can break
some of the main rules - you can use the c$ share path for the snapshot
files and (if you're using it) you don't need to change the services' system
account to be a domain user.
