Hello,

I have a scenario where I have an SQL 2005 server with many SQL 2005 express clients that need to upload their data to the server.
Is merge replication a good solution to this or is there anything else besides replication that might be better?

Also, there is a need for the clients' schema to be updated in case the server's schema changes.
From what I can see I could use schema-only replication from the server to the clients this time or sp_addscriptexec.
Any other solutions?

Thanks,
Jason

Replication does replicate schema changes as well.. so when your server schema changes its automatically applied on all subscribers.
