sql server replication:

Hi all,

What are some of the pros and cons of NOT transferring the identity column
to the subscriber when using transactional replication?

I am wondering if it is worth the trouble to fix this issue?

Also, if I change can the identity column to "Yes (not for replication)"
will this solve the problem?

Thank you.
JN

Generally you don't want the NFR property on the subscriber in plain
transactional replication. After all, what would be its purpose as the
subscriber is to be treated as RO. For updatable subscribers of all forms,
you'll want this (NFR) to be set.

Just to clarify, I should set the Identity columns to NFR on the
publications?

What type are your publications? Are the subscribers updatable in any form?
If so, use the NFR and set automatic identity range management. Otherwise
(other publication types) it doesn't matter.
