You're in the
sql server replication
group:Replication Subscription Standard Edition
sql server replication:
So I set up a "Replication/Local Publication" on a Production SQL
2005 Database. It publishes a Database on the production database. I then set up a "Replication/Local Subscription" on another Database we call "Report Database" that will have reports running on it and querying the Subscription which is feed from the production database. They are syncronizing fine and everthing looks great. My question is how do I access the Subscription? Can I query it like a database using a "Database Engine Query"? Do I have to create a Database instance on the "Report Database" Server feeding off the Subscription? Am I not going to be able to access the subscription because I don't have snap shots? I have no idea what to do now? How can I query the subscription? Can the subscription act like a database?

When the subscription is created on the Report Database is a database created on that server?

I am going to do a new publication on a different database and see how it goes. Thanks guys
Replication makes copies of tables and their data which by default will be
identical to the tables in the publication database. You should be able to query them in the same way you query them in the publication database. -- Hilary Cotter Looking for a SQL Server replication book? http://www.nwsu.com/0974973602.html Looking for a FAQ on Indexing Services/SQL FTS http://www.indexserverfaq.com [quoted text, click to view] "jughead" <mike.aarset@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1173882913.696871.315700@o5g2000hsb.googlegroups.com... > So I set up a "Replication/Local Publication" on a Production SQL > 2005 > Database. > It publishes a Database on the production database. > > I then set up a "Replication/Local Subscription" on another Database > we call "Report Database" > that will have reports running on it and querying the Subscription > which is feed from the > production database. > > > They are syncronizing fine and everthing looks great. > > > My question is how do I access the Subscription?

I don't know what the heck I was doing when I created my first Publication and Subscription. Seems that everything is awesome now! Thanks everyone
No, its not, you have to pre-create it.

I am having problems understanding the question. You have transactional
replication set up correctly and it is syncing ok to the Report Database. This database can now be queried as per usual. if you are concerned about blocking, you could use read_committed_snapshot isolation level to help with the concurrency of reports.
