Hello,
Sorry for my English..
Could you tell me if it is possible not to create entire snapshot after adding a new table? Our database is very big and it takes a lot of time to make snapshot.
Also could someone tell me exactly how works blocking of tables while creating snapshot?
I've read in BOL that if Snapshot Replication is used then all tables are blocked while creating snapshot for replication. And if Transactional Replication is used, snapshot is created in parallel mode and tables are not blocked and users can work with them. I understand that in second case each table is blocked while it is processing and after processing it is unblocked and next table is blocked. Is it so?
Also I am interested how actually tables are blocked? For SELECT/UPDATE/INSERT or how? Where can I read information about it?
Thanks,
Vitaliy
