Hi,
1. Can we replicate tables with no primary Key. Will Sql server add some
type of constraint in tables.
2. Can we replicate Bitmap/Blob data.

With no PK you can cross off transactional replication. Both merge and
snapshot will cope with BLOBS. Merge will add check constraints for identity
ranges and triggers, while snapshot won't change the schema. There are other
factors in selecting the appropriate method - can the subscriber alter the
data? Do you need offline access etc.
Cheers,

Hi Paul,
Thanks. Also can you please suggest
1.) For 150 GB database on Sql 2005 what is the best way to have a warm
stanby server. What methodology is suitable for this kind of
scenario(Replication , mirroring etc). I don't have PK for half the tables.
2) We can cope with 70-80 min delay.
