Pang writes "Please help me regarding Transactional Replication in SQL Server. I am very confused regarding the "transaction log marked for replication" which Log Reader reads in Transactional Replication.
May i know whether the Transaction Log that Log Reader reads has the extensions of .ldf ?
What is the difference between .ldf and .trn ?
What is the difference between the Transaction Log that Log Reader Agent reads and Transactional Log when backup is used ?
I am longing for your help with great enthusiasm.
Thank you very much."

There is only one transaction log, so the log reader agent uses the same one as backup/restore. It can be split across mutliple files, but it's one log. I think .ldf is just a naming convention.
