sql server replication:
Hello,

Databases A and B are currently identical.

When edits happen to B (which will be rare), I would like users to be able
to visit a web page,
press a button which synchronizes A to the changes on B.

Can anyone advise on how to achieve this? Would it be necessary to set up
some kind of replication job or
would a query in a stored proc be able to do it without replication?

Thanks SOC.

Does the data in A change at all? If A is read only, apart from the changes
originating from B, then I'd recommend Transactional Replication.

Why do you need manual intervention? You could set up replication as an on
demand job, and pull or push using an ActiveX control for this.

OK, when you say checked do you mean you verify the change and then edit it
or submit it for synchronization? I take it only a few rows will be modified
at any one time otherwise you will quickly be overwhelmed authorizing
changes. Replication would work for this, but I think you need something
different as replication is not designed for this type of transaction level
control.

Thanks, Yes A is read only.
Are replication techniques either continuous or scheduled? If so, neither of
these suit my need. I want it to happen manually, once the changes have been
verified by a user.

The databases are the backend of a web site (live and development) . Any
edits need to be checked then
synchronized.

Yes, the change can be viewed on a test version of the web site. If there
are no mistakes in the edited content, I would like to synchronise to the
production database.
Changes will happen rarely... maybe a handful of records per month.
