Transactional Replication questions


Transactional Replication questions Ron

sql server replication:
SQL2005 sp1

Once transactional replication is set up and running,

Will changing a table's structure (new column or new or changed SP) be
carried over to the replicated database?

Will it result in a replication failure and cause replication to stop?

Does a snapshot automatically run or do you need to run it once an object
has been changed?

Thanks

Most schema changes will be replicated as long as you have the replicate_ddl
parameter set to true.

If you don't know what this setting is, chances are you have accepted the
defaults and by default this is set to true (1).

The snapshot will be automatically generated and distributed for this
article only.

I tried adding a new stored procedure to the publishing database and then
added it to the articles to be published. It never went over to the
subscription database. When/how does the snapshot get automatically
generated and distributed for this new article?

Thanks.

there is a proc to start the snapshot.

sp_startpublication_snapshot

Forgot to mention it.

Will this sub-sequent run of the snapshot publish only new articles or will
take a brand new snapshot of the entire database?
Couldn't tell from BOL.
