Okay so here are the files I promised. It includes the slides and the code I talked about.

Be sure to check out the other webcasts coming up for the XRMVirtualGroup and PTI’s webcast series. You’ll find the links in previous posts here…..

Also, for those of you around the Nashville area, be sure to support the upcoming SQL Saturday #51 coming up on August 21st,2010. Right now I think the registration count is up to 250+ …….also I heard that if registration hits over 400 that Kevin Kline will shave his head….just saying….don’t know where it came from …..but that’s the word on the street:)

Short Description

DBA Virtual Chapter Live Meeting Event

Event Description

Topic: Transactional Replication Deep Dive (presented by Arie Jones) and What a DBA Needs to Know About Data Modelling (Sanjay Shirude)

Presenter: Arie Jones

Abstract:

Transactional Replication is often one of those black box features where if you are using the wizard in a standard implementation then you are fine. Yet, what do you do when you have to do something like transactional replication across non-trusted domains. In this session, we will discuss the internals of transactional replication, how it works, and what you can do to manage your implementations more effectively by understanding what going on underneath the covers.
