I wanted to get just 3 tables updating from Production to my Test database to keep things up to date, so started to set up a publication, but noticed it was deathly slow and the boss did not like the shared hand icon appearing by the database! Everything slowed down. This is a 21Gb DB.

I've cancelled everything now. There is no publication. It took hours. The shared hand icon remains and there are agents with red crosses everywhere! How do I clear it all up back to normal?

Thanks

How big are those tables? It must be big enough.
Disabling publisher and distributor will solve it.But be sure before you do that.

I see a new small database called distribution and I don't want that there.

Can I delete it and clean all the rest up and keep the main Production monster intact...?
