Using Transactional replication.
I would like to subscribe to a publication in order to transfer all the objects (tables, indexes, PKs) but not bring over the Snapshot of the data (saving tons of time).
To that model I would then add all our non replicated objects (derived Tables, additional indexes, etc)
I would then use that model as a means of comparing to an existing DB in order to ID any structural Diffs that need to be scripted.
Someone mentioned not implementing the SPs for Insert/Update/Delete but I don't think that would prevent the initial Snapshot from being applied and that Snapshot has a ton of data.
Is there any way to transfer the structure but not the Snapshot of the Data to a subscriber?
Thanks
