sql server replication : Adding an article to Publication

Hi:

I want to add an article to existing publication using Transactional
Replication. If I run the snapshot agent, will it run just for that article
or for all the articles in the publication. I only want to run for article
because other articles are huge and it will create performance problems.

I have done this before but I don't exactly remember the details. Please
let me know.

Thanks a lot.

It will create a snapshot for just that article and related metadata and
system objects.

Make sure you do this through QA.

Sal,

you just need to run:

exec sp_addarticle @publication = 'tTestFNames'
, @article = 'tEmployees'
, @source_table = 'tEmployees'

exec sp_addsubscription @publication = 'tTestFNames'
, @article = 'tEmployees'
, @subscriber = 'RSCOMPUTER'
, @destination_db = 'testrep'

(...or do it through the GUI). After that, run the snapshot agent and the
new article will be created and propagated. This is different to merge
replication where the complete snapshot will get created.

Hi Makarand,
please take a look at sp_repladdcolumn in BOL.

Paul - This is true with SQL2K. However, SQL2K5 when you create snapshot
after adding article it generates snapshot for all articles including ones
you added.
