Transactional replication of certain tables (not all)

  • Hi,

    We are looking to replicate certain tables in a database, I know you can select articles in the setup of the subscription.

    I've always used "restore from backup" to create the DB and then apply create but this has always been a full backup so do I need to create a backup of just the tables and restore that or do a full backup and restore and then drop the tables I don't need etc..

    Steve.

  • You can create a new database at the target and set up replication to that.

  • Hi thanks for the response.

    Do I create the DB on the new subscriber with just the tables I want to replicate or a full DB backup and restore?

  • When I've done it in the past, just a standard empty database creation with the tables selected for the publication created and populated when it's created option used.
