SQL Server 2000 Replication Handbook

This handbook is designed to help IT professionals using Microsoft's SQL Server database management system master one of the software's most important and challenging functions. "Replication" is the process and tools by which data in one database is synchronized with that within another. Replication is a vital capability for most organizations, since it enables them to manage geographically separated versions of the same database, back up ("save") important databases, support "mobile" and occasionally connected field sales and service employees, and build data warehouses and data marts. The book covers major replication features in the SQL Server 2000 release.
