sql server replication: We have a merge replication setup in SQL 2000 that synchs with 2 laptops. I
need to add a new table to the database that will be included in the new
subscription as well as a change (adding a column) to a table already in the
publication. What are the steps I need to take to get the schema changes to
the 2 laptops? Thanks.

Thanks Paul. Will the laptop users get the new snapshots automatically or
will I have to do something special? They are using MSDE. Thanks.

Also, I have 2 publications. One has about 50% of the tables as articles and
the other has about 20-30 views and stored procs. And 1 of the tables has a
triigger update. Does any of this change your recommendation? Thanks.

Paul - I was mostly concerned with the new trigger as it will be on a table
other than the one being added to the articles.

David - the new table can be added through the EM gui. Then run the snapshot
agent which will snapshot all articles but the synchronization will just
take the new article. For the new column, you can run sp_repladdcolumn.

David - they'll get the new snapshotted table the next time they
synchronize.

David - I'm not too sure why this is being mentioned - but perhaps I'm
missing something :). From what you mentioned, you're just adding a new
table and a column. Perhaps you're saying that the procedural code will
itself need modifying? In that case I usually use sp_addscriptexec to
propagate it.

OK - in that case you could add this using sp_addscriptexec.
