sql server replication: Absolutely - a lot of people use MSDE or SQL Express precisely for this
reason.

Hello there

I create new transactional replication envirnment.

If some server is being used as subsriber only as part of replication and no
data is being changed there, Can i install minimal sql server on that server
without many functionalitiys that normal server needs like: Locking, Agent,
ect... in order to reduce the resources sql server use?

Whell Hilary.

Will msde or sql express can support database in 20Gb size and the
performance on this subscriber won't be hurm? if so it can be best solution.
Also when the data and the application are at the same computer the speed of
givinig data will be better.

Is it true? and will it also be true if the subscribers will be in windows
cluster?

No you are limited to database data files up to 4 gigs in size. There is
nothing to stop you from having multiple databases.

You can't really cluster MSDE or SQL Express.

Exelly hilary. I've alread figured at out.

Here is my problem:

today the application and the database are not in the same computer (Front
end and back end)

It seems that the chippest way is to place copy of each database on any
computer at the front end. and update it by transactional replication.
But it is clear that it will reduce the performance of the application
server. eventhough all the application servers are in windows cluster.

if it is correct?, can i set sql server with database as subcriber on server
as part of windows cluatering?

So let me see if I have it right this time. You have a bunch of Front End
servers that are clustered. You have a backend SQL server. You want to place
SQL Servers on your clusters and have them replicated to the backend.

You have two options, create SQL Server clusters on the front end and have
them replicate to the backend. Or create a standalones SQL Server on your
clustered nodes and have it replicate to the backend. I think you are
choosing the later.

I think you should post this question to windows clustering or SQL
Clustering. I don't know if it will work of not, but it is a non-standard
way of doing it.
