Add new table to transactional replication with push subscriber

Hi there,

With SQL Server 2005 after adding a new table to replication, the entire snapshot is redone when initializing the snapshot agent. Ive read that with the pull subsciption there is a proc you can run to only snap the new object. Is there any way (besides creating a new publication) to stop the whole snapshot being redone for a push subscription?

Thanks

It seems there is no this kind of proc to only add snap new object, no matter for pull or push subscription. New added schema in publication will cause subscription to reinitialized , unless you manually add the new added objects into subscriber side and choose @.sync_type = 'none' to skip the initial snapshot.

Hope it will help.

Thanks

Thanks for reply.

but surely this cant be right. in SS2000 only new objcts added were initialized. we have a database with over 40 GB replicated data and cant redo the whole snap every time another article is added.

|||A new snapshot is generated such that any new subscriber that is added can reference an up to date snapshot. The entire snapshot is NOT sent to the subscribers. Only the new objects are sent to each subscriber. So, you only get an incremental initialize when you add new articles to the publication.
