Dear Experts,i've introduced myself already, previously i worked with a ERP organization, that is not a production environment. just before one month, i've joined with a big package(here in india). but i've doubt in my mind that can i handle the things? as i'm the senior here and no other DBA. but i've the confidence that i've a huge list of DBA's in my home page. that is the reson i've jumped to the present organization. my first task is to add articles to the existing publisher. did that, but replication stopped. full of fear.just opend my home page and posted the situation. i've received the message from SQL Almighty TARA and sodeep.....that's it. got courage.ofcource i'm unable to follow their steps initially, as i dont know what is a snapshot. after their suggesions, i've got a good overview, and successfully done my job. now i'm very confident of transactional replication. very happy to share this with you.Experts, please dont irritate if some questions are looking so silly. but one thing is sure that you are helping a junior DBA, so that saving his job. i'm very very very happy with your support and i'm expecting the same from you always.thank you very much for the support from you all.ArnavEven you learn 1%, Learn it with 100% confidence. |

Not being funny, but are you really the Senior DBA and you didn't know what a snapshot was? |

Fair enough, but if you were development before, you should have a mentor and not be the senior yourself really. |

We are not at your office to sanity check what you're doingWe cannot check your systems to see if there's anything you've overlooked.We are not there to tell you that a course of action may lead to problems down the roadAnd we're not going to be there when the proverbial pawpaw hits the proverbial fan and management is screaming at you for answers NOW.I strongly suggest that you warn your manager about the dangers of having only an inexperienced DBA there and either try and hire someone with some experience or get yourself some training, fast.Unless you're told them that you are an experienced DBA?--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |
