Hi, We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 database and this database is a publisher and this is a push transactional replication. Irrespective of how trivial (like add a column or change datatype) or adding a bunch of articles to the replication then creating a new snapshot and synchronizing the subscription to apply the schema and data for the new articles needs to be done. What if the database is growing big everyday and if such changes happen frequently and slows the system down. Is there a way to check and apply snapshot only for the articles that got changed or added?
Could you please suggest me a best practice that we need to implement?
Thanks in advance............
